Who used all the Wi-Fi?
Ah, apartment life.
Bad Wi-Fi, mystery laundry piles, and a roommate who says, I'll Venmo you.
Maybe 2027 deserves an upgrade.
Coming August 2027, Four Lakes Properties introduces the brand new Union Station Apartments, furnished in-unit washer and dryer.
Internet included a great central downtown location, one to five bedroom apartments, and no double occupancy fees.
That's less adulting and more actually enjoying where you live.
Union Station Apartments, now leasing from Four Lakes Properties.
Wait, we have a washer and dryer in the apartment?
apartment?
Hey, it's waters from the waters wake-up call here We are a week from Christmas and this morning I asked people whose jobs get extra busy this time of year What we the annoying consumer could do to help make their lives a little easier
one thing come in early in the day Because I'm busy and that's a really good time to shop number two try and organize your cart You know put your food together put your clothing items together trying to bag your things the more items right save time if
you're going to one of those
stores like whether it's Blaine's or Target or Walmart or whatever that sell food and clothing, that's a good
tip.
No, not yet.
You haven't picked that one or you haven't put in your pin number.
Well, you told me, it told me to take it out.
Right, because you put it in too early.
Working with shoppers, I've never done it.
I can't imagine.
I mean, really, waiting on somebody like me and it's got to be some kind of nightmare.
Yeah.
But I'd be glad to see you if you were there.
The most simple one.
Just...
my
pet peeve is in consideration whether you're driving or you're shopping or I don't know playing pickleball just be cool man it's hard for all of us just keep it in your head that maybe the guy you're getting mad at is having an even worse day than you are and if we all work together it's just gonna go more quickly for everybody
right
but this time of year is the most intense we should
They'll always be nice to each other.
Either
you're smiling, you try and make them laugh, you can always get an employee to laugh at your stupid jokes because they know that'll get a better sale.
That's always what I look at.
I think the moral to this story is we can all be a little kinder, more considerate, more tolerant.
It would make things easier for everyone.
Everybody.
Hey, thanks Mike.
Have a happy holiday.
Hey, how's Mike today?
Hey, I'm pretty good there, Farmer Dave.
How are you?
Pretty good.
Now, you ready for Michael's play?
Yes.
When I played Farmer Truck Driver, cause I could do that too, you know, I'd call my own stuff, is when we go up the hill, 45 or 50, then climb the hill and play go all the way up to 60.
Just go, but they have to
passes and then we don't go two miles and then they make a left turn in front of it.
Dopes.
So then guess what happens?
Slow down, start over.
Yep.
And
they just went away to 30 seconds.
We've been going faster.
They want to go anyway.
They'd be behind us and we wouldn't have to slow down again or honk the horn like they usually do.
Come on.
Just wait just a second.
That'd make it so much easier for
us.
Nice considerate people with common sense get behind the wheel and they become selfish jerks.
They don't care about anybody else.
You need to get to where you're going.
It's gonna benefit us too.
We're slowing our stuff down.
And I think some people you need to make it about them and then maybe they'll
realize.
I thought it would be a good time to maybe have a trash talk with Oscar's situation.
Yes.
I gotta start making sure we're taking care of the garbage sanitation recycle people.
Absolutely.
Thanks for bringing that up.
We gotta pick up all this garbage and recycling and thanksgiving it increases for the next few weeks and give us room.
Let us be safe out there.
Two, put your garbage and recycling out.
so we can get to it where it's not blocked out, but then we get out of your way faster.
Right, makes sense.
But the biggest thing is, is we want to be home at night too, and we really want to be safe, and I gotta be honest, we don't get a whole lot of respect when it comes to driving and giving us, you know, a little bit of room sometimes.
Right.
And, uh, we've got too many accidents that happen, and, uh, we've never been hurt.
Hi, I'm calling about the retail
thing.
You got a good tip for us, the dopey customer?
Well, I've been doing it since I was 16 and just be considerate.
That would solve so many problems, wouldn't it?
And then just that your co-workers show up on time and actually worse.
And it seems to be getting worse.
It is.
Like you say, consideration.
It would solve so many problems.
True.
You have a merry Christmas.
You too.
Thanks for calling.
I appreciate it.
Thanks, Mike Waters.
It's not for the delivery people first, if there is weather throughout the whole season.
Please make sure you have sidewalks cleared so that they don't have to trot through, you know, a foot, two foot of snow to get your package to the door.
Sure,
yeah.
Make sure you can see the numbers on your house.
Because sometimes there are people that are helping, so they don't know the numbers.
Sounds obvious to me, yeah.
Don't let Christmas decorations get in the way of the number.
And because of the holiday season right now, you'll see the postal carriers out at the early at six o'clock in the morning.
Sure.
And they are out as late as sometimes seven, eight o'clock at night.
Wow.
So have lights on.
So when you're looking at your, let's say, Amazon, and you see it's going to be delivered, make sure you're reading your lights on so that they can see your house number.
Great points.
They're delivering your stuff.
You want your stuff.
Make sure they see your number, lights are on, and decorations aren't obscuring.
So
all those things are issues that happen with everybody.
Right.
You know, just help everybody out, and then everybody can have a wonderful holiday season.
Okay.
What should we use?
Of
course.
Well, that makes sense, doesn't
it?
It
slows the whole process down.
Correct.
I always talk about, I don't want to be that guy.
I don't think anybody wants to be that person who slows things down for
everybody.
their living rooms are nothing without candles and those dishes of hard candy that started off as like 50 pieces but now has gelled together as one.
Right.
Right.
The candles and the hard candy common sense as well as your tips you wouldn't think you'd have to tell anybody because they'd be common sense but I guess common sense ain't so common anymore.
That's right.
I've
been doing this a lot of years.
It's not common sense.
Good morning, Mr. Mike.
Well, good morning, D-Man.
Getting ready to go to Mason to sell some insurance.
Maybe you can sell some wind damage insurance today.
Yeah, I'll try that.
Try that.
See what happens.
Hey, remember when you saw me selling that cookware?
Yes.
A thing I hated was people would come up there and when they get a phone call, then they're talking to me and talking to people on the phone.
Oh, people using their phone?
Can't they leave it alone for like a minute?
That's right.
Don't have two or three conversations going.
on at the same time.
Weekday mornings, 5 30 to
10.
