I worked in an office which had a digital lock door (i.e. 1-4-8-3 to unlock). I was usually first in and the code didn't work. When the clerk came in, she said that the code had been changed and she'd put the new one on my desk . . . in the locked office. My bad - I didn't think to melt through the wall.
Most cashes have 2 bar code readers. One facing up to scan items with the code on the bottom and one facing the cashier to scan items like cans, etc that have the codes on their side. All he had to do was pass it over the reader.
Have you considered that the cashier could just push the cake across the upwards facing scanner that is mounted flush with the countertop and conveyor belts?
3:37 That's not a stupid question. When people are born left-handed because their brain is wired that way, whether or not they have a left hand at birth, or whether they lose it in an accident later doesn't change that. My sister-in-law is left-handed, and in school they tried to TIE her left hand behind her to try to force her to become right-handed. That's NOT how it works -- and many children mistreated like that develop issues like speech problems because of it.
Happened to me in 1962/3 ( I was 5/6) .My Mam found out about 3 months later and went to school and put the teacher against the wall and told her if it happened again she'd put her THROUGH it .
To me that's not the point of. the question .It implies the person wouldn't be able to do anything if she was left handed because she didn't have a real hand, not understanding if she was left-handed she would just use the prosthetic on her left hand.
Oh my gosh I am reminded of a woman I worked with who said she couldn’t walk at lunchtimes because she had sprained her ankle previously and it wasn’t very strong anymore. The next time she told the tale she had an arthroscopy on that ankle. The next time she told the tale she had a complete ankle replacement. There wasn’t a scar on that ankle.
2:50 "Yeah, I totally decided to inconvenience you by choosing to be born to be tall." Good grief, do these people even hear themselves?! 3:50 Ask Pete Gray about that.
As a physician in a medical clinic for mental health patients (they get physically sick, too), I had one patient tell me that he thought the dpression exhibited by another particular patient, was "all in his head". I had to agree.
5:39 I visited St Petersburgh in winter 2013 and experienced this. It's a common practice there and everyone knows exactly what is going on. There are lookouts to direct pedestrians around the danger zone and to kick any ice blocks that slide into the road, back onto the pavement. There is no danger because it went on throughout the city and the general population are responsible and alert for their own safety. It's us Westerners who don't understand the difference between risk and danger who are the real idiots.
The first sign it doesn't matter if the screw is in the middle of the braille or not, because the braille is incomplete. The sign in braille reads WOME the N is literally missing, much less that the restroom part is missing. If a blind person could actually read the braille (becoming less and less common) the WO alone would let the person know this wasn't the MEN's restroom.
In this context it doesn't matter that the braille is inaccurate or whether they could have figured out what restroom was by the first two letters, what matters is the person put the screw-in the middle of the braille letters which was stupid.
my mom and her siblings were forced to eat and therefore write with their right hand. if they didn’t comply, they’d be left hungry. when i was a kid, i too was forced to be right handed. thank got dad were back to save me from that (not quite cause he had to go get his phd in another and is only back when i was 3) but thank god.
3:53 I mean, that may be a stupid question but maybe not as much as most people would assume. Whether someone is left handed or right handed is (from what I have read and also from personal experience and anecdotal stories from people I know) caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. It's possible for genetic predisposition to sway a person in one direction but environmental factors to deny them that option (so to be born ready to be left handed but have to become right handed because being left handed is not an option for whatever reason) My sister has a mild cerebral palsy that ment her left side was paralyzed as a baby. With a lot of work and some good fortune, she was able to get enough function back so that most people would only notice that she is a bit smaller and weaker than average, but her left side has always been weaker than her right. Despite this, she is left handed. Our grandmother was left handed but was born in a time when children were punished into using their right hand instead so she learned to use her right hand. Having a relative who is left handed increases a child's likelihood of being left handed, but I suspect if my sister had been more effected by her cerebral palsy and had not been able to use her left hand at all, we may never have known she had the natural tendency to be left handed as she would have had to adapt to using the hand that she was able to physically use, much as our grandmother had to adapt when she was hit every time she tried to pick up a pen with her left hand! (As an interesting side note, I showed signs of being fully ambidextrous as a child but was forced in school to become right handed for anything concerning school work/writing. Later, tests showed that I still did not have a dominant eye and was made to wear an eye patch as a teenager to force one eye to become dominant, and, although I learned to write right handed, I settled into doing some things right handed and some things left handed, including tending for my left foot to be dominant until a surgery weakened it. I actually have a disability that causes a lot of pain and frequent injuries and it would have made life a lot easier for me if they had left me ambidextrous, in fact I may even have been swapping between hands in a response to the amount of pain that writing, drawing, etc was causing me) So by this logic, someone who is born without a left hand may have been born with the genetic predisposition to be left handed, but because they are unable to put that into practice they would become right handed and everyone would just assume that was how they would have been anyway
my personal favorite was when I was working with a DEAR friend (too bad he is hard-core Republican )who came to THIS brilliant gem . When the Stormy Daniels / Trump scandal first came to light he claimed " Stormy Daniels is the one who should go to jail" . I asked "why?" He said " Because she took the hush money and didn't shut up" . .... Yeah - that's how that works - We should hold our Porn Stars to higher standards than our Presidents.
1:00. Also, peanut allergies are common, and can be fatal. I don't think I've ever heard of an apple allergy... 1:12. About how terrible your written English is, no doubt...
apple allergies are seen as uncommon because they are very rare on their own. Most people who have an apple allergy actually only have an allergic reaction when exposed to pollen (not apple, usually birch pollen). the point is that they are allergic to the birch only if they have recently eaten apples but don't connect the two facts because the apple doesn't get any kind of reaction on its own.
No, there is a fairly common apple allergy where something in the skin, and juice, irritates the lining of the intestines. I had it for years. Was sick all through junior high and high school. Until I stopped drinking apple juice.
@@wisteria3032 I knew a girl who was very allergic to cherries, and after puberty, became mildly allergic to apples. Apples, especially if they were unpeeled, caused her lips and mouth to itch and burn. And yes, her mother was extremely careful to wash them thoroughly with soap and water, not with the spray gunk. It's odd how the autoimmune system works -- or doesn't work, in some cases.
I recently got raked over the coals on one of these for suggesting that an adult medical professional wasn't terribly bright because in all his 37 years he had never noticed that lettuce can't be frozen...that he'd never seen frozen salads for sale or noticed that some plants turn to slush after they freeze...and I know how long he studied cell structures to get his job, so you have to be careful on these, but the SALE letters on the cars was meant to be seen while driving past. The distance on the 5k makes sense to me, I suspect this innocent didn't realize that 5k is a distance. Maybe she thought it was a TYPE of race, a sprint, jog, 5k, relay, etc. I am as concerned about the "have ran" as the distance.
Some of the guys in the stories I'd like to ask" does your brain already receive unemployment fees?"

Chalkboards used to be made of slate (I have a salvaged chunk of one) but that's decades ago. Now it's just special paint on plywood.

Yep... I was one of those that had my hand tied behind my back to "convert" me to a right hander. It does mess with you.
One od my grandfathers went through that in his childhood.

Depends what side of the road you are on....
@@christopherdean1326 well, probably on the right side, closer to the letters.
not really - they are close enough that you can see all of them so your brain would still try to read ELAS
