I hoped for a minute…

People in FL complaining about not being able to get insurance, this is why. The whole state’s gonna be underwater.

Look, if Noctua is going to charge me 10 whole dollars extra for the exact same fan in black, I’m getting the poop brown.

Anyone who genuinely loves sneakers is gonna look at those tacky pieces of shit and pass immediately.

Do you think we never got to stop working for a second? Yeah, retail is notorious for the whole “time to lean, time to clean” thing, but we actually did get to chill out if we were caught up. But we were almost never caught up because some people are jerks who leave their carts all over the lot.

As someone who had that job as a teenager, saying it’s better than other tasks is not a high bar. Yeah sure, it sucks less than cleaning the bathrooms or dealing with particularly shitty customers, but that doesn’t mean I was pumped to have to walk the whole fuckin lot to gather all the loose carts that lazy assholes couldn’t be bothered to put back. Gee thanks for the extra work for the lowest paid person at the store, how generous.

Oh that explains why it makes me so uncomfortable when my coworker uses customer names over and over. She comes from a sales-oriented industry and she’s using the same techniques even though that’s not at all the kind of job she has now. I really hate people trying to sell me stuff, so apparently I’ve been feeling annoyed on other people’s behalf.

Wish you could get our IT to make ours good fakes instead of coming from “whatever@cityname.securitytrainingcompany.blog.com” or some shit. It feels like they’re not even trying. Although I do work with one of the single dumbest people I’ve ever met, so maybe that’s to give her the teeeeniest chance at identifying it.

Probably the literal cleaners who come in to clean the building before/after hours.

But why? The water will be hot either way. Who cares how it gets that way?

Yeah we’re not exactly known for our tea here, unless it’s in a harbor or so full of sugar it’s not even really tea anymore, so I can see it not going over that well. I just made a cup but it’s one of my favorite kinds and I’m too afraid to try the salt in case it ruins it.

As an American (and filthy microwaver of tea, though I do have a kettle now) I just stopped scrolling in the hopes of witnessing some rage at the idea, but everyone’s being really reasonable. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Introversion just means socializing tires you out instead of energizing you like it does for extroverts. It doesn’t mean you don’t enjoy it or avoid it. Way too many people conflate introversion with social anxiety, being awkward, or just plain not liking other people all that much, but it doesn’t necessarily involve any of those things.

If people are interrupting you, try headphones. If I really need to get something done, that’s what I do - even if someone still interrupts, it gives them a visual clue that I’m doing something else, and then I can say, “oh hey, just trying to focus on ____, what’s up?” If it’s important, they’ll get to it faster. If it’s not, most people will say they’ll catch you later. But if people are just generally trying to interact and you see it as bothering you, that’s more than introversion.

Are you sure you really have a problem with people wanting to talk to you too much? Tbh, you don’t sound like (just) an introvert, you sound like kind of a misanthrope and I can’t imagine your coworkers are clamoring for the total lack of charm you’re showing in this thread.

I’m an introvert who’s great at socializing, and yes, even the relationships you may not seek out can be important at work. If everyone thinks of you as quiet but nice, you’re a lot more likely to get promotions, raises, good references, etc, vs if everyone thinks you’re rude or closed off. You can straight up tell people you’re introverted and they’ll generally be cool with it, but think of the time you do spend chatting as an investment in your career.

She didn’t really know, based on what she said when people called her out. She kept saying, “I didn’t say there’s anything wrong with being homeless, I just think they need to park somewhere else.” Idk, there’s a dude driving a Benz who’s been caught on camera breaking into several cars and houses, and another couple that drives a late model suv that follows delivery trucks and steals every package they can get, so maybe it’s not the homeless person in the shitty rv we need to worry about here.

A woman posted a couple of days ago about seeing an rv parked in her neighborhood and literally said, “I mean, I understand being homeless, but do they have to park in my neighborhood?” She suggested the city remove it the day before it was supposed to be negative temps because apparently an ugly rv being in her general vicinity is worse than someone freezing to death. Those people are fucking sociopaths.

So basically, you don’t really know what you’re talking about but decided to say the article was bad anyway? Thanks for clearing that up.

Oh good, it’s not just me. I came here to say that the odds of shitting pure pickle juice are way too high to make it worth the risk.

I said the same thing. My ex-husband was military (though not boot at all) and you could absolutely find this truck in the px parking lot. Probably driven by a 20 year old with a kid and a pregnant wife who goes shopping off base in his uniform solely so people will thank him for his service.

It’s the most infuriating quality of mothers everywhere, I guess. Like holy shit, I’ll help you, but you can’t just expect me to have a spidey sense for when you’ve decided to do some plumbing MY GOD MOTHER.

Ahem.
