Omfg! Can this be first?

The last time this was true in the US, Willie Loman was at the height of his sales career.

This hasn't been true since the boomers, and wasn't true for everyone even then.

It was true in sovient union. People were given free apartments due their work

This was never true and as a gen X, I never heard of it except by and to boomers!

Some of them don't deserve to be in human society.

Right?! 'This guy called me a fat b***h and pushed me down. He must like me!🥰' 🙄

We never had anything like this when I was at school. Maybe it was considered, but they thought it wasn't a good idea to tell us where to go, who to find, and what to ask for.

To be fair that food triangle above looks really healthy. Sweets/junk food at the teeny top, fruits and veggies at the big bottom. Just do that.

My teacher said that when half the class already had mobile phones. This was like 1999/2000.

And so you will. No one says it is going to be happy and prosperous life.

Put everything in different bins and watch it end up in the same place.

Having lived next to a bay with a high tidal change uncovering vast areas of sand, quicksand is a very real issue and it will kill you - mainly because you will drown if you get stuck in it and the tide comes back in. You simply don't go out on the sands without a guide. It's not generally a problem is you stay on the land!!!

Are you sure? Because I think sweets are sent directly to my butt.

If you work hard you have a better chance of surviving than if you don’t. That’s the only guarantee. The game is rigged

I was awake for my first colonoscopy and they turned the monitor around so I could watch live and in color. No chewing gum. No piles of red meat. Just pink and shiny colon.

This was understood in the 1980s. Not sure who was still peddling that nonsense years later.

Ahem, it may not be stated as such in the law, but it can be considered reckless endangerment, since having a light on inside the car while driving when it's dark outside, will severely diminish your ability to see the road, other traffic, or objects (people, animals) beside the road.

My mom used to "check" my candy. The next day half the bag would be gone because she found glass, razor blades, pins, unexplained needle holes etc. I grew up in fear of my neighbors because of this only to realize when I was older she just straight up stole all the good stuff!!

You are in a corporation that is training you to be a better worker. Their idea of a great worker is one that takes work home. The system is fudged.

I use oral cursive all the time.

I saw a stat today - the LOWEST paid Premiership footballer, who almost never plays in public, is paid £2000 per week. I retired after 40 plus years, being made a manager in 1988 in the largest company of its kind in Europe, and the most I ever made was £1000. You can be dumb as hell but if you can catch or kick a ball, you can make a fortune.

Nah, your teacher just didn't like you.

It's not so much "debunked" as no longer relevant. Back in the days before the internet when you needed to rely on job adverts in newspapers or signs in windows, going into places to enquire if they have any jobs going and drop off your CV was one of the most efficient ways to find out who was looking for staff, especially retail.

This is not unique to Millennials. The hierarchal/authoritarian type have been demanding this forever.

Then the 'good choice' would be to find a different job that came with a wage to recognise your added responsiblities or a better work/life balance. The bad choice is just staying put and complaining.

Fads are fads.

I drink a lot of milk just because I like the taste.

Whilst this has truth everywhere, it seems as if that single-minded drive for money is more prevalent in the US. In Europe, while there are people of the same mindset of course, there also seem to be more people that prioritise happiness and a fulfilling life over money. No-one wants to be in poverty, nor should wish it on anyone else, but being rich is in the end, not the be all and end all.

Bullies Count on you turning the other cheek, because it means there are no consequences. It is tacit approval for them to continue.

I mean most people really won't. Sort of like you won't get paid to play baseball or football. And small handful of people will. But you, statistically, will not.

Makes your hair curl and I don't want to look like a twirly curls barbie doll! ;-)

As a recruiter and someone who has handled onboarding for 7+ years, this is absolutely NOT TRUE. If you lie about a job, education etc, and we run the background there is a good chance (depending on company policy and any regulations they have to follow) that your offer would get revoke. Now obviously, if you put you started March 2024 at a Job but it was really April 2024 that is a different story, but I can personally attest to at least 150 people over the years (in both regulated and non regulated) who had offers revoked for flat out lying
