We're going to be spending the looming long weekend in Canberra. Kiddo is upset that I'm not going to let him drive the light rail.

@stibbons I got to drive a train part of the way to Canberra when I was 15.

Kids have it tough these days, what with the “obeying the law" crap.

Walked up to the counter at Jaycar. Dumped a dozen loose plugs and small parts in the counter, said "give me a sec, I wrote down the part numbers for this stuff". Dude serving me did a double take, "really? Omg that's awesome."

Rings me up, asks "are you a rewards member?"

"No."

Another double take. "Should I sign you up?"

"Don't spoil this."

@stibbons My god people seriously DON'T write down part numbers? But it saves so much time, even beyond it just being polite!
