Selling A Car
I sold one on Craig's List last year. I listed it at 11:00 am on a Sunday and at 1:00 pm I met the buyer and his English speaking niece in a parking lot of a Lowes, we agreed on a price. He handed over a small stack of $50s and $100s and I handed him a Bill of Sale and the Title. I also had him give me his contact info (bogus) as it turned out. In Texas the plates travel with the vehicle. Later I received a large packet of info from Homeland Security explaining that the car had been used in a crime and was confiscated. If I still had an ownership claim, to speak up, if not no big deal. The notice that I had sent to the State of Texas regarding the sale crossed in the mail. So overall I was happy. I researched the prices and picked a price that would be a low hassle negotiation. Over trade in value but below resale. I also was very honest about the car. My current car would have been on Craig's list but my dad knew the owner and knew I wanted a full size pick up. I bought the car in Illinois and transferred title to Texas. Very easy process.

Magglio Ordonez to announce retirement
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 29, 2012 -> 03:17 PM) The team he was under contract with at the time, more specifically. Players all time delay surgery, refuse surgery, go to their own doctors. Seems rather crazy to think a player should just have done whatever by whomever.

Magglio Ordonez to announce retirement
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 29, 2012 -> 03:04 PM) The team he plays for? I don't believe any employer has the right to demand surgery on someone or to pick who does it. Plus his contract was expiring, the club had placed him on the disabled list that would extend past the end of the season. At worse they seemed to have an interest in making sure he never played again. If the surgery failed, the club wasn't out anything. If it was perfectly successful it would cost them more to sign him or he would be playing against them. Would you trust a company in that situation or want to make your own decision on what is done to your body and by whom? I would rather make the choice.

Refuse to pay tip ~ Family locked in restaurant
He kept most of it when he was supplying the delivery truck. I remember a couple times when I had poor nights he would slip me $5 or $10 and say thank you. Back to tipping, why don't we tip the chef, cooks, etc? Don't they work hard to prepare the meals? Damn, a nice steak dinnr might be $5 plus tips to everyone lol

Refuse to pay tip ~ Family locked in restaurant
QUOTE (knightni @ May 29, 2012 -> 02:55 PM) I got $1 per pizza delivery to cover gas and insurance. A buck doesn't go very far when people don't tip like they should. In 1980 or 1981 I was getting between $2 and $5 from Pat's Pizza up in Grayslake plus tips. He added it to the bill and 100% went to the drivers if they were driving their own vehicles. He changed it when he started providing the vehicles.

Refuse to pay tip ~ Family locked in restaurant
QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 29, 2012 -> 02:44 PM) I know someone who puts a stack of 10 one-dollar bills on the table and tells the server "This is your tip. Every time you mess up, I take away a dollar." I always thought that was a good idea, but a ballsy one too. I ripped a $20 in two and explained to a bartender and a Snuggery (back in the day) it wasn't worth anything to either of us. His tip would be the other half if he took care of us. he did and made a few more bucks from us. It became a regular thing until he got to know us.

Reckless Conduct
I am certain it would be better if the victim shows up, but I was thinking in certain other legal cases the victim cannot show up (murder) or it would be a huge inconvienence (tourists).

White Sox a playoff "favorite"
I see a stretch that will balance this coming up. I am still not convinced that this is a play off team. But in this division, who knows, could happen.

TIME's Top 10 Worst US Sporting Venues
QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ May 14, 2012 -> 03:50 PM) Doesn't really matter how steep it is if you're in the front row, right? Anyway, I don't really like the upper deck of ANY park. I do understand having the policy of not letting UD folks down to the 100-level when there is a big crowd because it can become difficult to move around, but it shouldn't be restricted when the crowd is Actually walking down to the seat was a bit unsettling at first.

HS golfer loses state title to errant scorecard
Mistakes in scoring will happen. Why would you want someone else responsible for your score? Imagine her losing the state title because someone else made a mistake in her score. It may be an old system, but I would always prefer being responsible for reporting my hole by hole scores than allowing someone else to screw it up. If there is a mistake I have no one to blame but myself.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ May 27, 2012 -> 07:38 PM) What's the difference between a delivery driver and a waiter? What's the delivery fee, $3? That's bush league on your part. If you are at a restaurant and see a "waiter fee" of $3 *and* a note that it does not go to the waiter and you should tip anyways, what would you think? - Paul Konerko under MLB investigation
