Geocaboom
Ever since I heard about geocaching in detail, I had two thoughts: “neat!” and “bad idea!” For those who don’t know, geocaching is this weird treasure hunt deal where people hide little boxes in out of the way places all over the country and then post their GPS coordinates on websites.

Because I’ve just discoveredNotAlwaysRight.com,a site devoted entirely to employees telling stories about the retards they’re forced to interact with on a daily basis. Stories likethis onefor instance. Library | Detroit, MI, USA (At our library, the computers are all self-sign up. All you have …
