  • When I used to work in the home electronics department of a department store we had a bin of cheap dvds, price as marked. People would come through and organize them as they browsed and throughout the day the bin would get more and more organized. We were told they sold better if people had to rifle through them, so we had to periodically mix them back up.



  • My beagle started her life working with me at a dispensary. She got lots of attention from all our customers. She hurt her leg somehow, maybe it was just growing pains, and she had a bit of a limp for a few days. She realized she was getting extra sympathy and attention because of her injury so she started faking it after it healed. She would hear the door, come running out of the office, jump up on her hind legs and get love. Then when the customer turned their attention to me, the budtender, my dog would turn around, whine, and start limping away so they would start petting her again.













  • One of Tolkiens appendices touches briefly on Dwarvish gender. IIRC women were slightly less common than men, and many of them weren’t interested in having kids. So only 1/3 of dwarves are women and only 1/3 of them ever reproduce. So even though they have long lives they barely maintain replacement numbers. He also says that both men and women have beards and outsiders can’t tell them apart. I think Gimlis line about it in The Two Towers is a direct quote from this section.
