The "smoking kills!" meme is just that, a meme. The real reason you shouldn't smoke is the negative health impacts in the short term, like smelling like shit, yellow teeth, or constantly feeling phlegmy and out of breath. None of the people I know who've smoked for 30+ years are dead.

The incompetence of fast food workers is immeasurable. The other day I was at taco bell and the brainlet behind the counter couldn't figure out how to even ring up my order. I didn't even order anything extravagant. I just wanted a cheesy gordita crunch and a baja blast and that seemed to throw her out of orbit so hard. She sat there for like 5 minutes fucking around with the computer and had to get a manager to come over and ring it up for her.
