What’s the most useless, dumbest bit of trivia you know?

[TheGhostOfAbeVigoda]

Remember the old coinstar kiosks you used to find in the IGA or No Frills? Memories man, remember the cab phone hooked to the wall?...Once I hailed a cab from the No Frills when they still had the cab phones installed into the wall of the entrance/exit lobby...and the cab driver who showed up was my uncle

I think they have those Amazon lockers replacing them now.

This was a post from an old thread of several I have made about how I hate the Metro self checkout kiosks:

The one time I had a shitload of change in my truck so I gathered it up and took it to the coinstar machine in Metro so some crackhead wouldn't smash my window to get $30 in nickels and dimes. When I went to the cashier with the receipt, she took a minute to finish her conversation with another employee, then didn't know what the receipt was for. I was like "it's from the coinstar machine" and she stared at me like I was a piece of shit. I had to point at the machine and say "I put my change in the coinstar machine and it said to give this receipt to a cashier." Then she threw her hands up all exasperated and was like "I can't even do that. Go to customer service." So I did and there was a sign that said that they're out and to go to another cashier. I went back to the cunt I was just talking to and before I even said anything she yelled at me "I CAN'T do it here, you HAVE to go to customer service." I was like "there's nobody at customer service and this store owes me 30 fucking dollars, so figure it out." Then the other lady she was talking to that heard the whole fucking interaction gives a big sigh and huffs and puffs her fat ass behind the customer service desk. She wasn't busy. The store was pretty much empty because it was late. She was just expecting me to get burnt for $30 by fucking Metro so she could stand there and gab with some other old cunt instead of do her fucking job that 15 year olds do. I should've spit in her fucking face.

This may be the most Canadian story ever told. I think we invented the concept of not doing our jobs and then telling people they need to find who to speak to. It's almost Soviet without the darkness.

You made me feel like I was right there, this is real...same shit with refunds for products bought from Shoppers Drug Mart. If the "store manager" is not there, they act like you're a bum for trying to get back whats yours...No I dont want the refund in my optimum card you Filipino bitch, roll your eyes again like I give a care... I want the $17.99 back in my debit card.

I think I just broke one of the self checkout kiosks at my local grocery store.

They have a stupid weight detection thing and they fuck up every goddamned time. Like every item you have to get one of the little dildos who work there to come enter a code. The second time it screwed up I punched the scale and threw a stick of deodorant at the screen. The little fag was like...

I'd give up. There's no winning with shoppers.

For our American friends, shoppers drug mart is an extremely overpriced pharmacy and convenience store that will fuck you any way it can. I'm talking like 3 dollars 99 cents for a Coca-Cola. Most Canadians avoid it like the plague.

They took pennies out of circulation in Canada so now I have a big jar full of pennies and nothing to do with them.

A bunch of stupid cunts saw those penny floors on pinterest and started gluing pennies to their floors and didn't realize you have to epoxy over it so now they all just have hideous, filthy, oxidized pennies all over their floors with a bunch of dirt stuck between them. I'm glad.

Isnt a jar of pennies your snack, chef?

It's actually Korean. But close concept.

(Trivia incoming) Ajima (Nepal Bhasa:अजिमा) is a group of goddesses of the Newar pantheon. These goddesses are respected by all sects and castes of Newars, both from Hindu and Buddhist religion. If we look Ajimas from sky, they look like a sword. So, it is said that the Ajimas protect Kathmandu Valley.

Interesting, how did that become synonymous with the masculine ajashi and Korean family rankings. Genuinely curious.

Shoppers is where I go to buy candy and razor blades. I was I there the other night and actually asked the young kid who was working what the fuck his problem was because he was mean mugging me so hard like he wanted to fight or something when I walked past him. Like the first time I just gave him a nod and then laughed when he just kept staring daggers at me, the second time I was like "Did I fucking do something to you? What the fuck are you looking at me like that for?" He was just like "Oh, sorry." Lol, little shit was absolutely attempting to intimidate me or something, he couldn't have been staring me down any harder.

They have ALL the good candy though. $5.79 for a bag of chocolate covered gummy bears? Gouge me. Gouge me right in my ass.

The word "Ajima" comes from two Nepal Bhasa words, "Aji" meaning grandmother and "Ma" meaning mother. This deity represents all the female ancestors of Newar who have been deified under the influence of the Shaktism branch of Hinduism and Vajrayana Buddhism.[citation needed]

Maybe it's the old lady connection. Although there is a big fuck off CITATION NEEDED at the end so who knows.

@Dog Eater please jump in because I'm pretty ignorant on the etymology. I just know ajima is an impolite but acceptable way to call a middle aged woman.

I tried this in university. I made coins out of gallium so they would melt in people's hand. Doesn't work.
