    I don't understand why some folks (mainly males) on LinkedIn use such dooshy pictures of themselves. I've seen profile pix of guys all decked out in their Lance Armstrong wannabe bicycle outfits, Weight lifting pic, and the of course the classic defiant looking selfie while driving their car...

    Baffled... Is it just folks over the age of say 60 who think they need to print EVERY SINGLE email they get at work, and every single electronic document they receive??

    I use their app to always get BOGO breakfast sandwiches or free McCafe drinks.. Heck of a deal.

    Heard a McDonalds add touting the any size drink for $1. Two dudes are heard ordering drinks, one wants a small, one a large and lady says "You know all drinks are $1?" And both guys seem so excited by this. "You blew my mind!" they say. I'm thinking, why would I be excited that I'm paying...

    Local news story... In a nutshell, baby drowns in a mop bucket. Mom states baby rolled off bed into bucket. People are suspicious of course. Today news report are that the baby had meth in his system and the mom finally confessed to drowning him because he was crying (may he rest in peace). So...

    Timely.. We've got 2-3 of these guys at our office and some of us told them just the other day that they look like Wooly Willy. :)

    Baffled that anyone gives two squirts about Beyonce and JayZ and the birth of their twins. Seems every radio station and "news" website has to feature some article about it all.

    The absolute worst is when these scumbags bring their kids to stand there and hold signs in the cold and heat. Ya just want to hop out of the car and smack the parent in the head.

    This news story (happened in Michigan) reminded me of a baffle. http://kdvr.com/2017/06/14/michigan-car-dealership-shames-panhandler-who-turned-down-job/ I'm baffled how many folks willingly hand over money to all these "professional" panhandlers, they actually think they are in need of it...

    I have always been baffled by the same thing, but you have to remember that what, 80% of the TV/movie watching public couldn't really care any less about their viewing set up like folks here or at AVS etc. It's not even a thought to them that it's in the "wrong spot" for best viewing. They are...

    We still have our landline (tied to internet) and we bought a new pair of cordless phones that have Call Blockers built into the system and it's been great. We can tell it to not answer "Anonymous" our similar, we can add phone #'s to block, or if a random weird out of state call comes in we...

    Since when did the 80's worthless dog of a movie "Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn" become a "classic" ??

    Reviews of TV's crack me up (mainly on the sellers website). So many folks seem to feel the need to post a picture of their TV's image and 98% of the time the review pictures are crooked looking, shown sitting in a giant pile of junk on milk cartons, or washed out looking picture that if...

    Not in any way mad. Just baffled at the mindset of some folks and their causes or blindly hand companies they don't know anything about their money.

    Baffling that some folks are so desperate to buy a discontinued electronic item from a place like TVSuperstores when a quick Google search clearly shows what a HORRIBLE scam of a company they are. I wouldn't give them a dime of my money...

    That people actually pay good money for horrible movies just because said movies have a "special feature" and they want to support a dead cause.

    I'm of the school that if it's watchable then I'll watch it. Heck I've been watching a bunch of old school TV shows now that we don't have DTV and none of them are near being HD quality, but I still get a big kick out of re-watching them. I am far from an HD snob like a niche of folks around...

    My mom loves her Breyer's and she warned me of this label change so if she asks me to run to the store to do some shopping for her, I now always make sure to grab the "Ice Cream" carton and not "dairy dessert" carton. It's very deceiving too. The labels look pretty much IDENTICAL. just tiny...

    If the price match exceeds I think $50 the cashier does have to have manager approval.

    I price match there all the time. Amazon, Target, Toys R Us etc. As long as it's not a 3rd party fly by night vendor, the cashier will match, just show the pricing via your phone to the cashier. FYI. The latest list of vendors they match: *Online retailers are limited to: Academy.com...

    I order online very rarely. I don't need much "stuff" but I know a lot of folks who buy stuff online just for the sake of ordering, and they usually don't need it. What I need is mainly (99%) of the time available at Walmart, BB, Target etc. And they price match Amazon so it's all good. :)

    Yep, in a short while odds are you will only be able to buy "old school tech" like DVD and Blu discs on places like Amazon or B&M's online stores (WM, Target,BB).

    Our local BB's (we have 4) don't carry the Blu versions of any of these. Says "No BB within 250 miles of your location carries this title".

    Things that baffle you?

    In today's world, I'd say yes. How many folks under the age of say 50(+/-) do you know scrambling to buy physical discs of old monster movies, or Bruce Lee movies, or similar? These companies are trying to capture the big bucks of the younger folks and these kinds of movies don't put a dent...

    I can see why you wouldn't see such items filling valuable space in B&M stores, one word, demand. Odds are very slim that there is a big enough local audience for such old school movies to warrant making space on their shelves. If they are lucky, they may have 1 or 2 sales a year for such...
