The debit/credit card thing is to prevent fraud. They want to make sure you answer to the name on the card.

Completely irrelevant for me--my picture is on my debit card. Anyway, I answered to the Coffee Bean guy who called me Taylor for a month. I will answer to anything if it means getting the transaction over sooner.

I will just judge you until the end of time.

Um, how did that start?

Some possibly good news for Noise Design:

Interesting, but sadly that is Orlando Sanford, not Orlando International Airport. Sanford is a tiny little airport that manned by a handful of small commuter planes and charter flights.

Um, how did that start?

Brainfart on his part, really. I give my last name to baristas, and I guess he thought Taylor was a good enough last-name first-name for a chick, and ran with that. One day he actually looked at the debit card, corrected himself seamlessly, and we've never spoken of it. And, thankfully, he calls me by my last name, not my first. Though, he's Spanish-speaking, so he'd probably get it right.

I just having naming boundary issues.

my general response to any stare that lasts too long is to assume the person's a lech

I guess my default is "what is he/she *staring* at?" Unless I'm dressed up and meaning to be attractive, I don't usually think of sex first.

Staring at my body or my lips in a patently mind-elsewhere-carnal way...

...doesn't bother me (lately I kinda wish somebody *would*), but it's different than the predatory aggressive sexual stare.

Ha! Me too. If the extent of our interactions is, here's the money, gimme my thing, or hi/hi/see ya, I don't care whose name they call me by. I just want to get done with it.

Safeway cashiers are forced to address customers by their first names and I hate it.

They do it off the receipt at least, not the credit card.

I love Time Team and wish I could watch it online.

If you're willing to have fun with ISP/region blocker stuff, all of the series are available on 4OD.

I don't have a proxy server to enter into anything. From what I saw last time I looked, things are geared towards non-US people wanting to watch US content. I didn't see much out there for US folks wanting to watching UK content. But maybe I'm just too un-savvy in these matters to see what's in front of me.

Oh, but see, they're a creeper! That's the magic of the whole thing. I don't have to be attractive. There's something wrong with them. It's a very tidy system.

Also, when I'm dressed up, I'm usually in alpha-fuckit mindset, and I'd never notice something like that.

doesn't bother me

Totally bothers me! Please maintain extended eye contact instead! Do not have sex thoughts about my mouth! Do not undress me with your eyes! (Although if you have a backscatter scanner, that's perfectly okay)

I feel that "LOL" is totally appropriate here.
