Job Interview Takes An Unexpected Turn The Moment Candidate Is Shown Expectations And Salary

Honestly 55K is insulting for any skill-specific job in California. The state is one of the most expensive in the US (CNBC actually ranked it as THE most expensive but I'm not splitting hairs). The sad thing is there still will be someone desperate enough to take it in this economy.

“Potty” is way more embarrassing for a grown adult to say than “toilet” imo 😅 if my boss told me “brb I’m going to use the potty” I’d be a little weirded out.

Lol my French teacher taught me that in French, the sentence “I am the duck,” is “je suis le canard.” But the sentence “I follow the duck” is ALSO “je suis le canard.” (First suis conjugated from the verb être, second suis from the word suivre.)

In Australia, it's "pulled over for an RBT" (random breath test). Yes, if you drive, you will get pulled over for an RBT pretty regularly. (About once a year in my experience.)

27 Stories Of Tourists Having Really Cringy Moments While Traveling To Another Country

No, in poorer countries it's often how police and other government workers get paid. Tax incomes are often low, and corruption very high, so they often go for months without wages. Obviously some will misuse the situation. But others are just doing their job and need to feed their families. If you don't like it, stay at home.

My recent travel to Hong Kong was more than 15 years after my first one. This time, I was vacationing with my sisters. On our first night we went to all these food stalls along the street and I kept seeing “Octopus available” in almost all of them. So I thought to myself, “Wow, grilled octopus must be really popular here!”

I then went ahead to the next stall and bought myself some grilled Octopus. I was so excited and told my sisters “Look, I got some octopus! It seems to be very popular here as all the stores say they have it!” Only for them to laugh at my face and tell me that Octopus is what they call their train cards, much like Oyster for the UK. Good thing the grilled Octopus was tasty.
