Post Something You Know That We Don't Because Of Your Job

[cj003]

Shoe Store:
-if you piss off the guy helping you with the shoes best believe they are getting scuffed up in the back and they will be the "last pair"

AIDS research facility:
-about 80% of the people who contacted aids were gay males

-every person i studied contracted aids from unprotected sex or drug use.

Rental car business:

-book your reservation in advance (phone or online) then haggle the price of the car after you get in the door. ive seen luxury large suvs go out for $25/day....ive seen luxury cars go for $10/day. the car is there and dosent make any profit if you dont rent it

-when an employee offers you "basic" "simple" "full" "deluxe" "gold" insurance it is filled w/ crap that you dont need. who needs health insurance on a rental car? you paid for it tho

We will never cure "cancer"

On a brighter and more specific note; Sickle cell anemia is one of many diseases that will be cured by genetically engineered stem cells.

When MJ played for the Wizards, he cheated on his wife the WHOLE time with three women.

The women lived at one of his houses here, along with his in house lawyer.

- The influx of so called professional photographers who with their lack of skill charge really low prices $+#% it up for the people who actually know what they're doing. Don't be fooled. Check out their portfolio, if you dont know what to look for show someone who does.

- When writing contracts make everything clear cut and not open to interpretation. I dont care if he's your boy or a friend of a friend, business is business. Under the right circumstances this is a good way to get ho'ed. This is for anything though not just photography.

-You get what you pay for, its ridiculous for you to tell the photographer who's been doing it professionally for years that they need to lower their price. If he's as good as he says then go to your friend who uses an xsi instead.

- No you are not automatically entitled to every picture the photographer took.


Mailroom/University employee

- There's more mismanagement than you can imagine at some of these smaller(and even some larger) universities.

- If something personal is addressed to you but the mail clerk cant decipher who its suppose to go to and the post office wont take it back(RTS) its going to get opened and eaten/played/kept.

- Know your rights as well as rules when dealing with colleges when it comes to transfers. I've seen people who's transcripts were held hostage for marginal reasons or to try and stop them from transferring. Instead of fighting they took the L and started over!

- Its also imperative to know your rights and statutes when it comes to jobs and employment. I've seen people get fired for shiest reasons, take it to court then settle out for a nice amount of money. Get it in writing. Everything. More often than not though, the employee didn't know the law and just took the L after getting fired.


D. Rugs


- More often than you'd expect there are additives to that weed you're smoking to make it weigh more. Course, this isn't always the case. In fact, there have been criminals that have gotten lighter sentences because they've been able to prove that the actual amount of marijuana is in fact lighter than initially stated.

This is NOT true. You should know cancers are caused by a diversity of factors genetic, environmental, and viral. We already have "vaccines" for certain cancers. I believe with research in molecular bio/ immunology researchers can develop specific chemicals that help our immune system specifically target cancerous cells with minimal harm to our body.

Nothing is impossible in science, it just takes time.

at a pizza joint delivering:
-Theres been many occasions that the drivers drop the sandwich or wings or whatever and throw em back in the bag or box. Usually you can get something free if you complain about food being undercooked or overcooked. same thing with hair or something in the food, either if its really there or not

i realize this amongst older folks that run big companies.  some don't even have a computer in their office.  i guess they can have their secretary do the typing.

When Umpires call the booth for replays in Major League Baseball, none of the video feeds come from the stadium...There is a Central Replay Booth located at MLB.com headquarters in NYC that provides all video replays.

Well, just as you said it's a multi-factorial disease. We do have cures for some and treatment to prevent some such as vaccines for HPV, but we will never cure "cancer" as in a one cure all drug because it's multi-factorial. Too many causes and too many differing abnormal genetic expression patterns to have a cure all.

That's what I meant, but just wanted to simplify it.

So, we might, but not in our lifetime.

Mac users are idiots. Due to the nature of the mac being so easy to use, whenever a real issue happens, which it will, it's a computer, they just dumb out.

Conversations in operating rooms can be downright comical and rarely have anything to do with the patient.
Although it makes for splashy headlines, awareness under anesthesia is extremely rare.
