My wife recently exclaimed, about someone who broke an outdoor decoration, "I'm gonna ream his ass!"; my kid looked horrified.

I know we picked up a ton of classic phrases from a certain unnamed generation, so which ones do you think are fading with millenials being the last to carry on?

The Rat Pack, Elephant Six, The Wrecking Crew, Native Tongues, The Brill Building Songwriters, The Outlawz.

It seems like wildly different genres and eras of music will form these named clubs. It makes sense for artists to do this and I'm sure there's benefits in networking and all, but it seems like it's more unique to musical artists than say actors or game developers; so the broader concept interests me and I wonder how they form and why it's so common across such different styles of music.

What are some other musical collectives? Which ones have been most successful and which let infighting drag them down? Do you find that you end up liking the lesser known bands/singers in the club if you're a fan of the bigger artists or is it kind of random or lower quality with the artists they promote?

I do not usually make the big soupy ramen, so I typically use one packet for two packs of noodles. I have saved all the excess packets and now I have like 100 flavor packets.

I thought I should just get ramen by itself and maybe it would be cheaper. I know that ramen is not very expensive as if is, but I do prefer a more quality ramen (like the springy noodles in NeoGuri brand), plus the packaging is wasteful and annoying.

I thought it would be easy to find at the big Asian Market, but it always seems like they are the wrong kind of noodles. I do not like the ones that are more of a dark yellow color, and the brown ones are okay but I prefer the standard white noodles. Cheap brands kike Top Ramen have a really subpar texture.

Wondering if anyone knows of a good brand that sells in big packages or even a big box of noodles. I'm also wondering if you can buy the powder in a shaker or something. I love the indomie goreng flavor but having to buy the noodles and seasoning in small individual servings seems wasteful and I would love to buy a preferred noodle and a preferred flavor and match them myself while saving money. I did get a large thing of seasoning on Amazon a while back, but it was more like buldak style and had way too much going on and was a spicy style.

This lady called in and established herself as the person who has legal authority to speak for another person who can't speak for themselves or handle their own financial matters.

Our company is *required by law* to send a letter that explains their rights. This woman got the same letter that everyone gets after being added as the person handling things.

She was added after telling us that she is this person and verifying information. The letter says she's not responsible for any debts of the person and tells her how to dispute the account or file fraud, etc.

All day long I get calls from people who just see their name and see a dollar amount and they think we're trying to bill them directly for the person who's finances they supposedly handle.

I tried to explain the purpose of the letter to this old hateful woman, but she just kept interrupting everything I said. She said a lot of ignorant things but the one that bothered me was her telling me that the reason she got this letter was because my coworker, a woman who speaks perfect English with a slight hispanic accent and who has worked here for 6 years, is a "D.E.I. hire".

I can handle stupidity, ignorance, people being jerks about a valid criticism, etc. But this person was:

Ignorant (doesn't know what she's talking about),

Lazy (didn't thoroughly read the letter)

Stupid (jumping to conclusions without sufficient info)

Mean (had an attitude/swearing)

Arrogant (spoke her misguided opinions as absolute facts, wouldn't listen to me as I attempted to explain why she is misunderstanding the letter)

Racist (assuming an innocent person must have done their job incorrectly because they had an accent).

People like that really get under my skin. The call ended with her threatening legal action so I had to transfer her to escalations; I put her on hold while I transferred the call to voicemail and she was still flapping her gums not realizing I wasn't even there for a full 45 seconds as I transferred the call.
