Ugh, my wife's family's house has been broken into twice, both 15+ years ago. No one's gotten over it. They hide all their stuff whenever they go out and do everything they can to avoid it being that there's times when no one is in the house. There's bars on the windows in the bathroom and storage room (where people broke in from before) which means that if you were trapped in there due to a fire you wouldn't be able to get out. They actually have all their stuff hidden so well that they can't find it - as in the PS2 was lost for like eight years.
And you can't touch anyone's stuff or move anything because "it's just like coming back to when the house had been broken into and all my stuff was moved around". And they've like, amassed so much crap (they're hoarders, all of them except for my wife and they never want to allow her to throw away HER OWN THINGS), I imagine so that they can hide the truely valuable things in with the crappy things. That or getting their stuff stolen has turned them into the types of people who think even junk is precious because it's "theirs".
Yeah, last time I went to do something at the tax office I waited for like an hour despite that I had an APPOINTMENT! An hour past my appointment time! They're fast when they're doing the work but the office just needs to be open for more hours in the week.
I applied for Starbucks yesterday, some new shop is opening so they have like 30 places open. Starbucks wants you to list your nationality when you apply as well as give them a photo of you, this kind of screams racism at me... (I don't think I've ever had a place ask me for my nationality before).
By the way, a while ago I wondered about it so I looked it up, it seems like when it's a place like McDonald's in Sweden which actually comes from the USA, the higher-ups all have to actually report to the Americans and might always be in Email/phone connection with them, as in even though it's in Sweden the Swedes aren't actually in charge of how it's supposed to go and the Swedes are given instructions for how to manage/decorate the store and stuff from them however ill-fitting it may be.
