A bit, inasmuch as my reaction can’t be quantified as ‘pleased’. Mostly I’m just marking a day when I noted a change. Why do you ask?
[whispering to @albill] he knows about THE CHANGE. Do we call in the dragon, or hope that the hobbit can take of it?

A list? Man, the other guy was offering dragons and hobbits.
Son, I am ( as the [sic] kiddies say ) disappoint.
I go the to grocery store once or twice a week since I shop for my family. I like it there, esp. the cheese section and the bakery. I know many of the cashiers and like them as well. A few parts of the experience aren’t great, but he’s awfulizing and whinging about trivia like the piped in music and fluorescent lights. They aren’t that bad, and it’s creepy that he manages to hate trivial minor annoyances that much.

My local supermarket used to switch between two styles of music: 70s soul music during early morning hours, and genuine Musak™ during prime hours. It was kind of amazing how cheerful and polite people seemed while James Brown and the Temptations were playing, versus how irritable they seemed while a Casio version of a Phil Collins song was on the speakers.
These days they use classical during the morning hours, when the place is mostly filled with older patrons, and switch to indie folk-rock type stuff (Decemberists, Iron & Wine, Modest Mouse) during prime hours when it’s mostly college kids and local young professionals.

Surely by now a permanent state of disappointment should be assumed?

He was an ass. When arguing and losing the debate he occasionally liked to edit dissenting opinions.

The quip does not make sense.
At least it was mercifully short, allowing for two attempts to read it.

Yeah! So ironic; a guy being pissed about people acting like assholes! The very definition if irony! Are you sure it isn’t hypocrisy too? Did you know that I am intolerant of intolerance, a bigot towards bigot, pick on bullies? Don’t let anyone know though! It is my greatest weakness and I am so ashamed of it.
So he sends the clothes back to the sweatshops after he soils them?
