Things You Regret Wasting Time On

I just watched a guy on youtube drink a half-gallon of beer
through a tube while standing on his head. Let's hear your
story. Surely I'm not the only one who does this sort of thing
once in a while. :D

Buying and reading the last couple of books by Alexander McCall
Smith. Mind you, I don't usually regret reading crap - as long
as it's halfway entertaining. But "Corduroy Mansions" was
evidently disjointed stuff the author had retrieved from his
virtual trash can, and which nobody had even bothered to edit -
not that I blame the publishers.

So the name was the most entertaining part? Funny. Some stuff
you just can't make up.

I regret talking to that Indian scammer the other day. I just
think it is really nasty the way they play these games on
unsuspecting, usually older people who don‘t know any better.
But, its not worth risking a heart attack over.

I like Neal‘s technique for dealing with the Indian scammers.
Just say „Can I put you on hold for a minute?“ Then let them
wait an hour or two, or longer....Great idea.
Of course you could tell them you‘re okay with going to the
„goat-house“ over this. You wanna pet some of the cute goats
over there (Oh, you mean courthouse??) :)
