Or, hear me out... maybe it's nobody's freaking business besides her to decide what she does with her own body, so maybe just piss off? Why is that so hard to do?

Yeah, this was 2010...

One year we had to buy a "clicker" to give digital answers to multiple choice questions live in class. We only used them a handful of times and then found out we couldn't resell them after the semester because it was coded to a specific student and couldn't be changed or something.

I at least appreciated the professor apologizing to us when we reported it to him and promising to not do it to another class when he found out you can't resell them, but still... I may as well have just thrown $50 in the trash and gotten the same result.

Getting info on events and businesses is so much tougher now that I don't regularly use Facebook. I missed both holiday garbage pickups because my county waste management company ONLY posts schedules on Facebook.

My kids love making the cursor fill the screen.

Right?! I barely trust some of my colleagues to do their day job reliably let alone manage a firearm in a high pressure scenario.

Our school (who wasn't actually considering it) said the insurance company would drop our coverage if we allowed armed teachers on pemesis. Honestly, I think I'd quit if I knew someone on staff was concealed carrying. We deal with a lot of shot, but the last thing I want between me and a troubled kid is a gun.

"You really think you can tell me what I can do with my body?"

REPUBLICAN PARTY has entered the chat...

Can confirm. My daughter loves to play co op with me or her friends.

As a teacher, just a letter or card saying how they impacted you is enough.

I work in a public school. The older teachers are the ones that don't even look at the sender address. "Oh, this email that sort of looks like its from an employee says to blindly open this file that I would realize is clearly fake if I took more than two seconds to look at it? I'm on it!"

Our union negotiator didn't understand different sheets in Excel files. Had a document he wanted to share out on sheet one. For some reason on sheet two he had every union employee's name, birth date, social security number, address, etc. in plain text. Emailed to the entire school district. I caught it immediately and made them aware. The frantic emails to my friend the IT guy were hilarious. "I NEED YOU TO GO INTO EVERYONE'S EMAIL AND DELETE THE MESSAGE I JUST SENT." Then when it was explained that you can't just take it back, another frantic district email "DO NOT OPEN MY PREVIOUS EMAIL. JUST DELETE." Again, not understanding that unless they empty their trash, its still recoverable for 30 days.

Privacy.com is literally the digital equivalent of what you were talking about. As for bank services, I don't know that I have heard of any personally.
