It's Heidi Klum being questioned by ET about her worm costume for Halloween. They asked why she wanted to be something so mundane as a worm. This was her response.
That's all. You now know this exists.

@CooperationIsKey:
You won't see them because they're inside the same area as the actual groomers. You can see the actual groomers working on the dogs through windows. The self-service stations are usually tucked in a corner or away from the windows.

@Trixie Kay:
Amoxicillin out of pocket costs from $5 to $12. While Fish Mox is $20 when we stocked it. She just didn't want to go to the doctor. She even admitted that herself.

@CooperationIsKey:
Petco has self-service pet washing stations all around here. So do a lot of other large chain pet stores. But the place I work isn't a chain store.

@Trixie Kay:
Fish Mox is antibiotics for fish. It's not meant for human consumption for many reasons.
It's not monitored by the FDA, it's not the correct dosage for humans, and there are other chemicals and additives that are in fish medicine that humans shouldn't consume.




UTI stands for urinary tract infection.

@Trixie Kay:
I do work in customer service. Over the years I've seen quite a few of those. Along with weirdos.
Probably the weirdest was this woman who admitted to taking Fish mox instead of going to the doctor for her chronic UTI. Now we don't sell fish mox.

Does Opabinia count as a dinosaur? Technically it's a arthropod. But it's unique as heck and I love its weirdness.
Basilosaurus is neat too because of its lineage to modern-day whales. Whales evolved backwards and I love that fact.
I'm a fan of any early aquatic dinosaur.

While I was in the back doing stocking paperwork few days ago, a woman threw a rage fit up front and threatened to eat my coworkers. Like she was just angry and saying things without thinking. The lady was upset that we didn't have an in store washing station for pets. She brought her dog down to our store assuming that all pet supply stores have a washing station. This happened Tuesday and my coworkers are just now telling me about it.

A recently fired coworker had one of the worst cases of narcissism ive ever seen. He was also aggressive and often defended his outbursts as being the result of someone else.

One of the major tipping dominoes that lead to his termination was him demanding time off. It's not unreasonable to allow time off. But he let us know he was moving at the last minute, so he requested (demanded) 3 weeks off. We were short staffed and him getting 3 weeks off wasn't going to happen. Predictably he threw a tantrum and went on about how we are all deliberately inconveniencing him.


My favorite part was if you'd point out his aggressive tone of voice he'd be like,

"Whatever you think you're hearing in my inflections and tone is a byproduct of your own delusional mind."

According to him we were all delusional. He would always find a way to argue, even over stupid stuff. It's like he absolutely had to be right and make sure you knew you were wrong, even when you weren't. Basically, he was a bully. A 43 year old bully.

He's gone now though. I just want to cry in relief because he was so stressful to deal with.

There was this owl in the backyard. But I didn't see or hear it. It's like all of a sudden I just felt extremely on edge. I tried to push it off as just paranoia from being in a new house. But then the dog started freaking out. Everything in me went on high alert then. I couldn't figure out what was wrong until I looked up.
It was kind of weird how I knew something was there. I'm guessing this sixth sense was something common to experience for ancient humans. You hear about this sort of thing on TV fantasy shows and Anime, but it's something that actually exists. It's just weird to think about in certain aspects.

@Ruby:
We've never had the toilet overflow actually. But I was always told to turn the shut off valve behind the toilet if that happened then get the plunger.

@Borealis:
As of right now it's not known when Charles's coronation will take place. Last I heard Parliament is debating on whether to make it on Friday or wait until after the funeral, which is 10 days from now. Regardless,Charles is now King Charles III since the second the queen took her last breath.

@Starry:
@Ruby:
We always kept the plunger in the garage.

@Ruby:
I know, rather hypocritical. She also harshly judges you if your toilet plunger is visible in your bathroom or if you have a window air-conditioning unit. It's all unsightly and undignified.
