I won't even pretend reading this thread is worth your time.

>>>

1. This is Not the Cupcake I Wanted:
At the station commissary, they are selling pumpkin cupcakes. I ordered one and after taking a bite I immediately realized that it was just a pumpkin muffin with frosting on top. Now, I have nothing against muffins; I enjoy eating them greatly, and I can’t say I’ve ever met a bad muffin. Consider me a muffin fan.

It’s the principle of the matter though: when I buy a cupcake, it’s wrong to give me a muffin. It’s deceptive. Don’t we have enough deception in the world without dragging baked goods down to that level?

2. Public Toilets Should Be Cleaned Every Hour:
I try to avoid these when I can, but sometimes must use public restrooms. I know this is not my home in the Kingdom and you don’t have slaves – if it were, there’d be someone to disinfect the facilities every time I used them – but I’m willing to compromise and just have them cleaned once an hour.

This is an important hygiene issue. Did you know that nanites are invisible to the naked eye and can be spread by toilet bowl seats? Yes, insufficient restroom cleaning can turn you Nation.

3. Why are Capsuleers so Clumsy?:
Lately, I have noticed an increase in capsuleers poking their eye out and having to wear these black patches to cover it. I have no idea how anyone could be accident prone that this happens, but if you’re going to be so bumbling, at least have the good graces to get your eyes replaced with artificial ones or hide your self-inflicted injury with giant sunglasses.

It just makes you look like some sort of pirate.

That's my list. Feel free to add your own. Or not.

And now I want muffins to go with my tea.

Hanaya-kirjuun, I assume this is one of the commissaries on 98Q V/4? Going to have an assistant fetch me some, I think.

Clumsy?

I meant to do that. It is a very useful augmentation, particularly when loaded with Scorch lens crystals.

I concur, but would also add a few thoughts. Up with Janitors. They work very hard for little pay and they do the things we all take for granted. Janitors should be paid more and we should hire more of them. Then, perhaps public restrooms would be cleaned every hour. We could put counters on the doors to keep track of users and then beep the Janitor after so many users to come and clean the restroom. We should raise the social status of Janitors and insist that everyone treat them with proper respect and deference. Everyone I know appreciates a clean, fresh restroom. We should also appreciate those who make them clean and fresh.

You never see the people you want to see naked naked. Unless you have drugged them and applied a nanite lycanthropy paste to the walls of their arteries, of course, but such effort!

Oh my goodness! It's been months since I bought my last monthly lot of a thousand Sebiestor from the markets of... that system next to Tash-Murkon... damn! How quickly the memories fade.

I can confirm that I am sending some of my best operatives to handle these very serious situations. We will root out the cause of such travesties and mete out justice to those responsible. Ishuk-Raata suspects dirty Serpentis involvement, and will endeavor to eliminate such lawless influences on our baked goods and lavatories.

This will be dealt with.

Oniseki-haani, did you seriously just accuse Serpentis of eating all your cupcakes?

I wish to file a grievance against the use of blue dye usage in food and drinks. Each and every time I have something blue, my tongue is left all stained and heaven forbid you get any on a white shirt.

Another thing I have issue with is with those who are keen on smack talk and bad mouthing an organization without actually confronting the organization. If I have an issue with someone or a particular organization, they'll hear about it directly from me. Nothing bothers me more than having someone walk up to me and tell me they overheard so-and-so telling some buddies how, and I'll use my organization here, Stormcrows are a bunch of pansies and asshats.

Now, to be fair, this sort of behavior reeks of cowardice and ego-bolstering since the speaker apparently is too afraid to call us out directly or needs sympathy to recover from some form of butthurt that we may or may not have inflicted upon the speaker's routine. I would also like to point out that due to the nature of the cluster, be careful what you say and when and where you say it as words do have a nasty habit of coming back to bite one in the ass.

So, let us recap: blue food coloring is vile.

Blue food dye blends nicely into Black tunics. You're simply working for an organisation with the wrong coloured shirt, Steffanie.

And I'll tell Jude that to his face.

It must be a low rent establishment indeed if they don't have dedicated drones busily tidying up and disinfecting such areas.

Warning labels. They need to go. All of them. Nature will sort the rest.

When "DO NOT INSERT HEAD INTO TOWEL DISPENSER" is slapped on a paper towel dispenser, its pretty obvious some idiot did it at some point. Remove warning labels, let evolution take its course.

My list of grievances (in no particular order):

  • Pilots who taunt you on the IGS but don't have the guts to confront you in space
  • Misuse of apostrophes
  • Monocles
  • Loudmouthed zealots of any persuasion
  • Capsuleers who harm innocents solely to appear "tough" or "edgy"
  • Gallentean kids sporting Matari tattoos with no clue as to their meaning

No, you clearly don't know who you're talking to, so let me clue you in. I am not in danger, Erys. I am the danger. A guy goes to the restroom and gets his head inserted into a dispenser of towels and you think that of me? No. I am the one who inserts!
