I helped a local homesteader build a greenhouse.


Cool. I knew you could still homestead in parts of Canada, but didn't realize it was still possible in the US.

Actually Homesteading in the US was halted in 1976, So anyone doing It today is doing the act of Squatting on someone elses property without permission and is thereby possibly just trespassing in the US. :D

I didn't rip the head off an irate customer who irreversibly wiped out a bunch of his data files then cussed me out and questioned my expertise when he learned they were gone gone gone forever.
Does that count?

Question is always how much does he want to spend on data recovery. CIA budgets and he might get it back.

I defended a Cashier at our local supermarket who was being shredded by a PO'ed woman for a pricing issue she has absolutely no control over.

She was just verbally being profane and nasty so I stepped up and asked her to take it to the manager. Her response was "So now YOU steppin into MY business?!" I said, "You are delaying a number of people from getting on with their day and I believe this could be handle much more efficiently by a Manager at the Service Desk."

Her reply was a physical threat (not surprising) so she was escorted out of the store and banned.
