Come on, don't act like a child throwing a tantrum; there is absolutely a connection here.

And what’s the issue with that? At least you wouldn't be wasting money on useless junk. Or maybe you would, if you actually knew how to manage your life.

Richard Lewis16 said:Honestly, we could really use some 24-hour convenience stores here in the States too, just to make life a little easier...
Whenever I find myself traveling around, I can't help but miss that constant accessibility; it’s such a shame they don't have a local 7-Eleven or even an old-school Walgreens open all night anymore like they used to...

I guess some people are just living in a fantasy world...🤣

You're the one dreaming, buddy. You're comparing countries where they certainly aren't paying minimum wage.

James Rogers53 said:Shortened retail hours aren't exactly doing the employees any favors. Half of them would probably be facing layoffs—because, guess what, there isn't a single full shift left covered.
Then there's the issue that most people work standard 9-to-5 shifts—meaning they can't just pop into a store unless it's late at night or during the weekend.

It's called organization, honey. Just a little bit of discipline and getting your life in order. But I suppose it's easier to just wander into a store and then swing by your mistress's house on the way home. 😉

Has anyone actually had the nerve to tell you and your friend that you’re both total morons for acting out like this?

And honestly, I’m just sitting here replying to an idiot.

Why so triggered? Did you see a little too much of your own reflection in that guy’s desperate attempt to skip the line? 🍿

Charles Ramos7 said:They’d probably survive, but they definitely wouldn't be spending their money there. If they’re happy just sticking to the bare essentials, then they can keep doing their thing.

Oh, they’ll spend it one way or another. At the end of the day, you either have to drag yourself down to the store or just handle your business online. It’s not like the money just vanishes into thin air, right?

Kate Chase59 said:The thing is, there are still plenty of folks out there working full-time jobs with responsibilities who simply can't make it to the store before 5:00 PM...
I remember one time I was hunting for a specific M6 bolt; I ended up wasting a ton of time and gas just trying to track down a single hardware store that was actually open... a task that should have taken maybe 15 minutes tops...

If you ask me, stores should be open 24/7 if it makes sense for their bottom line and if they're playing by the rules regarding staff wages and taxes.

Well, thank God it’s not up to you, is it? Honestly, it's exactly this kind of mindset that prompted me to start this thread in the first place. When people start getting all worked up because they have to wait in line, or when they start whining that shops should always be open until 11:00 PM, I just look at you lot and lose my patience. That's when I start snapping back.

Last week, a buddy and I actually locked some guy in the restroom at one of those local shops; they didn't even find him until the night janitor showed up.

I decided to skip commenting on the last two posts because frankly, they were completely missing the point. Pure fantasy.

Let’s be honest: we would all be perfectly fine if every single retail shop and business operated on a strict schedule, closing their doors by 5:00 PM or maybe 6:00 PM at the absolute latest, regardless of whatever pandemic nonsense is going on. It really just comes down to habit, doesn't it?

So why is it that some people refuse to accept this simple reality?
If you're one of those lazy types who demands "flexibility" just because you've grown accustomed to having everything available at your whim, don't even bother replying with your endless list of excuses.
And please, spare me the nonsense about how limited hours will stifle consumer spending. That is a ridiculous argument.
People will always find a way to spend their money, whether the shops are open late or not. 😉

Hmm, I think I ran into something remarkably similar to what you're dealing with.

After leaving my laptop running for a few hours—connected to the Wi-Fi and everything looking perfectly fine within the Network and Sharing Center—the internet would just... die. If that's even the right word for it. The absolute worst part? My torrent clients and background file downloads through the browser would just keep chugging along like nothing was wrong, even though I couldn't load a single website in any of my browsers. It was incredibly frustrating.
I spent ages Googling the specific error message that pops up in Chrome, and since it shows up in other browsers too, I can't say for sure if you're seeing the exact same thing. But when I dug around, I found identical issues being discussed on various international forums, and frankly, none of the solutions were any good. There were a handful of suggestions floating around, but they either didn't work for me or weren't helpful for most people I saw online. Eventually, after wrestling with it for way too long and dealing with a few other headaches, I just gave up and reinstalled Windows. For context, this was all happening on Windows 7.

I've had this on repeat all day long.
They always seem to put me in such a good mood—it’s genuinely calming. I know it’s probably way too early to be getting my hopes up, but honestly? I wouldn't complain at all if they dropped a new album right about now. 🙂

Jack Jones33 said:The Fn key should be located on the bottom left—I believe it's the second one from the edge. Hold that down and then hit Print Screen.

Well, thanks a million. It works perfectly.👍

I’ve gone through the entire ritual—hitting Shift, Ctrl, Alt, even Alt-Gr... but honestly? Not a single thing worked.

I’m reviving this ancient thread just to avoid cluttering things up with a brand-new one... so, here’s the deal: I’ve got an old HP laptop running Windows 7, and for some reason, my Print Screen key is completely unresponsive. I can't figure out if it's a hardware issue with the keyboard itself. On the keycap, it says "prt sc," but right above it, "insert" is printed in a much larger font, which makes me think the "insert" function might be taking priority. Does anyone actually know how to force this Print Screen function to work? If you have a solution, please, help a guy out 🙂. (Not that I'm totally helpless—I already have a specific screen capture program installed)...
