    How can one NOT believe in a dime?! It's right there being all round and shiny! Not like it's an unseen spirit or something.
    Every once in a blue moon I would run out of quarters and have to pay someone 95 cents in nickels. When I had to explain to the customer why I wasn't allowed to have any dimes they always looked at me like I was making crap up.

      Sounds like she was trying to get you to give her some kind of explanation: "Sorry, ma'am, the owners are minimalists and believe in owning only one of everything."

      Not enough pots? Who was she cooking for, the Army? What a whiner.
      When you start at zero, everything's progress.

        Maybe she just didn't want to do any washing up on her vacation

        Then she'd have been complaining about flies & ants
        Arp happens!

        Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today.

          My bathrooms do not have towel racks. The previous tenant decided that he/she/it preferred to have a mini-closet instead where towels could be kept in one bathroom, the other simply has a shelf.
          I do have to ask: where do you put the towels to dry? Or do you just fold them up while they're still damp?

            One of the cashiers at work doesn't believe in them. We get one roll of dimes and two of nickels in the morning, and she'll break open both rolls of nickels and leave the dimes untouched.

            One day she was training and let a trainee touch her cash, and the trainee did the logical-to-her thing and opened the dimes and one roll of nickels instead. The cashier was overheard to say she had to spend the whole day reminding herself not to strangle her trainee because she didn't know any better.
            It's little things that make the difference between 'enjoyable', 'tolerable', and 'gimme a spoon, I'm digging an escape tunnel'.

              I thought towels went on hooks on the back of the door to dry. The towel rack is for hand towels for wiping your hands dry after you probably didn't actually wash them.

              The more time I spend on the internet, the more I realize how many little different ways households can work.

                They literally never gave out dimes as change to customers. Customers would give us dimes but they'd be removed from the drawers every night in the cash office in preparation for the next day.
                A boutique grocery I once worked for did that -- essentially because it was one less tiny coin to count at the end of the day.

                  I'm too lazy to sew loops on my towels, so we installed a second bar instead of hooks on the door . (And now someone's going to tell me that some towels come with loops already sewn in ) I call the bars for the bath sheets towel racks, although you're right - that's also what to call the ring for the hand towel. (Which isn't going to dry on that ring either).

                  Actually, I don't put my towels on the towel bars to dry. My towel bar hangs over the toilet paper, so I can't spread mine out enough to dry, so it dries over the shower curtain bar and then it goes on the towel bar.

                    Wuh-wait, now you're telling me that you can put loops on them? We don't even have those, they just stay up on the hooks as is! TOWELS ARE CONFUSING. No wonder this person was in such a bad mood.
