This is one of the reasons why I don't give anyone learning English a hard time. It's a difficult language.

There is a YouTube channel that I can't recall the name of now. A Russian couple learning English and they vlog only in English as a means of practice. Pretty interesting, they just share what their life is like in Russia. Show the supermarkets, talk about prices and cost of living, etc.

I think it's a neat way to learn a new language, and they're pretty fluent right now but lack confidence and words like those shown in the book would definitely cause their brain to short circuit, lol.

Pretty common in the backpacking, off grid, van life, etc world.

Standing up to pee is great. I don't blame women for wanting to be able to do that. Still a goofy product, but it's popular and gets the job done I guess.

I'll send food back if it's made wrong, no big deal. It happens. When I was younger I worked in restaurants and have had steaks I was proud of sent back and have other food sent back that I either made incorrectly or the waitress wrote the order incorrectly.

"Shit happens".

Respect and understanding goes a long way regardless of what side of the coin you're on.

Reply to comment by MilkyPastel in Walmart unfun gift card by spc50

Thanks for showing real world use case for these.

Food stamp thing was replaced by food cards in many States. Same fraud still goes on - just walk down to store with you. Hand you card. You shop. Leave store, give me back my card and my cash.

Worse is corner stores aka bodegas where such handouts are outright misappropriated by filthy owners who cash exchange food funds at 50% or less of value. Many of these stores are owned by foreign nationals.

My old church used to give these kinds of gift cards to community members in need around the holidays (but with like $200, not $10 on them) so people could afford holiday meals, but they didnt want addicts buying alcohol instead of feeding their kids. Seemed like a great gesture at the time, but now that I'm old enough to be aware of people who sell food stamps for drugs I see how this could have easily been used for the same thing.
