Having a terrible day at work can be frustrating, overwhelming, and even demoralizing. Whether it's a challenging project, an annoying colleague, or just a series of misfortunes, sadly, there are plenty of reasons you might feel like you're a failure.

But as Sigrid and Bring Me The Horizon sang, "It's just a bad day / Not a bad life." And one of the ways to recover is by venting online. So we at Bored Panda decided to remind ourselves that the universe hasn't conspired against any of us. From time to time, everyone runs into some (undeserved) adversity.

Continue scrolling to see all the messed-up nonsense people have had to deal with on the job! And when you're done, see more fails previously posted here.

I've lost my faith in humanity. What we do defines us and this is what we do. We are not stewards of the land or caretakers. We are a blight. We are just vultures picking at the carcass of a dying world.

In some parts of the world humans do not behave like this so please don't lump us altogether or lose hope. I'm indigenous and my tribe work so hard at environmental care-taking and restoration, despite all the losses we carry. This is not human behaviour, it's a**hole behaviour.

No, vultures perform an incredibly important service: With their thoroughness and extraordinary digestive system, they clean up the source of possible disease before it can harm other animals. We do not contribute anything positive to the planet in any way. Even in death we hang on and refuse to give back as food or compost to other species.

Yes, lots of people suck. But I've seen many acts of kindness. I and my family participated in the RNC protests in 2004 in NYC. We saw a familiar face on the other side of the barricades on a side street and waved and yelled hello. It was Pete Seeger picking up and throwing out trash. When I was being treated for breast cancer the amount of people supporting me was wonderful. The actions of individuals do matter.

Life has suffered worse than humans and come out just fine. Life as we know it might be different, and humans certainly might exterminate ourselves, but the idea that we even could permanently scar the earth so badly that life would never recover is it's own anthropocentric hubris. In the grand scheme all our glass and plastic and nukes and fossil fuel use will mar the earth, but not stop life from thriving. We are more likely to be a blip than anything substantial, even if that blip seems really bad to us.

OP of all people should know that’s the result of being in a swampy low ground area. Water has washed all that mess there, that’s why it looks that way everywhere he goes. Yes, we consume and make too much garbage. I’m just saying all of this could have been washed here by a flood as easily as anything else. If he’s feeling like he’s cleaning up after trashy people, he’s probably wrong.

    These are in fact pretty common, most often being used as "tips" by certain groups of "Christians". ( I use the scare quotes because, while these people will tell you they are Christians [ loudly and often ], their behavior usually demonstrates few if any of the principles Jesus advocated for. )

    We had been at our church for 18 years and hosted a summer Bible study. One week the group leader devoted the entire time to what I call ambush techniques. Hand a homeless man a $100 bill. When he looks at it and sees it’s not real but a Bible verse, now he’s engaged with you and ready to listen! My husband and I thought, yeah by justifiably punching you in the neck. We switched churches after that. Talk about directly violating more than a few unambiguous verses.

    I had the misfortune of being a Mormon missionary. My leader was upset that we weren't converting "high quality" people (a.k.a. white collar executive types like himself). So his idea was that we 19-21-year olds should show up unannounced at offices and tell the receptionist we had critical information about the wellbeing of the top guy's family (a man whose name we probably wouldn't know). In the deluded mind of my leader, the boss would be so concerned something happened or would happen to them that he'd be anxious to learn what we had to say. Our message was supposed to be that he and his family risked not spending eternity in Heaven. I was a fairly ignorant kid, but even I knew such fakery would not be well received. [Fast forward a few years and our leader was convicted of fraud and absconding with clients' money.]

    Getting dealt a bad hand at work isn't the end of the world. Especially for content employees. According to Annie McKee, Ph.D., who is a best-selling business book author and advisor to top global leaders, from CEOs of Fortune 500 companies to government officials, those who are engaged with their jobs and colleagues work harder — and smarter. But that's quite rare.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "Far too many couldn’t care less about what’s happening around them," McKee wrote in Harvard Business Review. "For them, Wednesday is 'hump day' and they’re just working to get to Friday. And then there’s the other end of the bell curve — that nearly one out of five employees is actively disengaged. These people are sabotaging projects, backstabbing colleagues, and generally wreaking havoc in their workplaces."

    "Disengaged, unhappy people aren’t any fun to work with, don’t add much value, and impact our organizations (and our economy) in profoundly negative ways," McKee explained.

    "It’s even worse when leaders are disengaged because they infect others with their attitude. Their emotions and mindset impact others’ moods and performance tremendously. After all, how we feel is linked to what and how we think. In other words, thought influences emotion, and emotion influences thinking."

One day a family left the table in an awful mess and I had a migraine and was extra annoyed, the mum came over and asked for a broom and dust pan and brush etc to clean it herself as "my baby did it, I'll clean it up" and I nearly cried on her shoulder!

    I have had those days where our store was open earlier and later hours because of a holiday for some stupid reason. Our policy was if people came in before we locked the doors they had every right to sit for however long and eat. We closed at midnight and sometimes wouldnt be leaving until 3am. I remember dreaming I was sitting in front of the dooors crying begging people to go away. Mind you I was 16yr old at the time and still had to go to school the next morning. Working in the food industry is the worst

    I feel for them.They need massages with relaxing music,or long luxurious baths or showers,something soothing to drink,and bed.Sweet,uninterrupted sleep.And somebody,preferably a rude customer,to come in and clean up that mess,restock if needed,prep work,and be yelled at the entire time.So they know how it feels!

    And now comes the hardest part of their day - having to clean the store while dealing with angry people demanding food. Even locking the doors (if the manager allowed it) wouldn't be enough; you'd still get idiots pounding on the glass & swearing at the top of their lungs about how "lazy" the workers are.

    McKee thinks it’s time to finally blow up the myth that feelings don’t matter at work.

    "Science is on our side: there are clear neurological links between feelings, thoughts, and actions. When we are in the grip of strong negative emotions, it’s like having blinders on," she said. "We focus mostly — sometimes only — on the source of the pain. We don’t process information as well, think creatively, or make good decisions. Frustration, anger, and stress cause an important part of us to shut down —the thinking, engaged part. Disengagement is a natural neurological and psychological response to pervasive negative emotions."

    I've worked at a book seller some time ago and this is a normal occurrence with remaindered paperbacks that just won't sell.. From what I can see the front covers are torn off to be sent back to the publisher as proof. Book sellers, even the big stores, cannot afford to return the entire book due to the cost of shipping.

    To everyone saying they could be donated or given away: the bookstore only gets a credit for the unsold stock if the covers are returned both as proof of unsold stock and to render the stock unsaleable. Margins are relatively low in bookselling (higher than grocery, which relies on volume, but much, much lower than fashion) and booksellers can't afford to give up the credits. This style of credit management is generally restricted to very mass market titles such as specific romance brands.

    Used to work at Borders. We had to do the same exact thing. Rip off the front cover (to send to the publisher, proving that we didn't sell the book) & throw the entire book into the trash. If someone took the book for themselves (without the front cover) it was considered theft.

    If books don't sell, book stores are legally required to tear off the cover and discard. As a librarian (and former Waldenbooks employee) I don't like it, either, but millions of new books are published every year. If we didn't discard, we'd be awash.

    Drained and changed fryer oil for 11 years. Drain it at the end of a shift into a metal cauldron, through a metal sieve with a coffee filter-type filter. Scour the fryer with warm fat and a steel wool or fiberglass pad, rinsing with some of the filtered fat and let drain again. Either fill it again with clean new shortening or leave it until the morning. ALWAYS ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE VALVE IS CLOSED BEFORE ADDING NEW SHORTENING!

    However, it’s not just negative emotions we need to watch out for. "Extremely strong positive emotions have the same effect," McKee said.

    "Some studies show that too much happiness can make you less creative and prone to engage in riskier behaviors (think about how we act like fools when we fall in love!). On the work front: I’ve seen groups of people worked up into a frenzy at sales conferences and corporate pep rallies. Little learning or innovation comes out of these meetings. Throw in a lot of alcohol and you’ve got a whole host of other problems."

    So it sounds like having your suspenders stuck in your chair every once in a while can be actually quite beneficial.

    I worked at a famous UK chemists. Every even they toss away dozens of sandwiches. Why? Because before the gave it to a charity that gave them to the homeless. Until some homeless sued them over food poisoning

    Do you know if those are definitely still perfectly save to eat? Or do you think the needy should be fed low grade food? Are you aware that there are quite a couple of incidents where shops did give away leftover food that was fine and that got sued, after someone got sick? That's why many stopped.

    These are clearly from a vending machine, and the prepared food probably isn't healthy anymore. "They" didn't waste the money, you didn't buy the food. They took a lump, and if they are any good at cost accounting, won't give you as much, leaving you hungry next week, when you forget your lunch.

    Reminds me of most of the places I have worked. Such a litigious society that if you donate food that is "expired" you have to accept the liability for any sickness that could occur from ingesting bad food. So instead perfectly fine (even though "expired") food is thrown away instead of giving it to people in need.

    Worked in a bakery many years ago that threw out bins worth of bread at the end of each day. I managed to convince the owners to put them in clean garbage bags and donate them to the soup kitchen down the street. Because food waste is stupid in a land with so much hunger.

    Actually, depends on the place and reason for being fired. I worked for several years in a bank's processing center. There was one guy who was stealing money from the bank (normally if a deposit slip total was off by $10 one way or the other we just used a bank over/short slip, but he was using altered slips that placed the difference into his personal account). When he was caught, he wasn't even allowed back into the building past the security checkpoint, and the supervisor and HR rep packed his stuff.

    Had this happen last year. I put in my 2 weeks notice, which I actually let them know 6 weeks in advance that I was leaving. That gave them plenty of time to hire and let me train someone new. About 2 weeks after I gave them the notice I clocked out on Friday afternoon and everything was normal. When I got to work the following Monday, my personal items were no where to be found. When I confronted them turns out they were locked in his wife's car. I lost my s**t and quit on the spot. That was not the first time she had gone through our personal items. Needless to say, they cannot keep employees. Since I left, they have gone through 12 people for my position. I just laugh now.

    It is common in the tech industry, in order to minimize risk to code, data or IP. That said, our company always had security accompany the person so they could pack up their own things, two or more weeks ((depending on seniority) paid as well as all accumulated vacation. We then organized a nice little party or send off, unless the person was fired because of unprofessional behaviour.

    Sadly, in most cases fresh meat goes to the dumpster only. It's "more expensive and a problem of responsibility to give it away for free" - heard that from a person who dumped a few hundred pounds of fresh meat the day before Christmas. It's not even going to be burnt for gaining energy from the process. It will just be wasted! And that's why I want some first world governments to not allow such massive overproduction of meat what makes it cheaper to get thrown than to be given to those who would appreciate some free food! IMHO a real possibility to significantly reduce animal misery!

    Animals suffered during their short lives without any daylight, ripped away from their mothers and transported for hours in packed trucks before being prodded into a building reeking of death and terror for absolutely nothing. There was a time when our ancestors gave thanks to the creatures who gave themselves up so humans could eat.

    Since nobody can prepare for the unexpected (just the way they can react to it), it isn't surprising that workers worry about other things.

    "One could argue that today's employees are as equally stressed as their predecessors, but for different reasons," said Jodi Chavez, president of Atlanta-based Randstad Professionals, a segment of Randstad US, which provides finance, accounting, HR, sales, marketing, legal staffing and recruitment services. "They fear having their jobs outsourced to another country, have anxiety about how best to work alongside new technologies such as automation and robotics, have increased financial pressures with rising student loan debt and late retirement, and feel pressure to be 'on' and answering e-mails 24/7."

    I saw this in person… Glass transport to the local window manufacturer. Traffic light went red, breaks applied too heavily causing mass of the entire load to shift forward breaking where strap attached inside container, and then buckle the door braces. Glass slid through and luckily didn’t injure the driver. Both sides of the road looked like piles of ice and snow, very messy clean up.

    Splitting tips should be illegal. Actually could quite possibly fall under wage tampering laws. Guarantee when you call out that worker she'll say something like "we'll y'all had the rest of the night to get tips so I figured you'd get that much from those customers" Yeah right, with 10 minutes left till closing time?

    Additional I wonder if this is an American thing (car-society and all)... as in Europe you have to use coins (real money but also merchandise give-aways in the same size) to unlock a cart. This normally animates 99.5% of the people to return it also proper - and it prevents most teens to "steal" carts.

    It was the same at a supermarket close to us. Then they replaced the carts to new ones that can be used only if you put in a HUF 100 (~USD 0.25) coin. Now everyone takes the carts back to the corral. Sometime homeless people ask for the carts and they push them back to get the coin. I'm OK with it.

    In difficult times, you need to find an internal reserve of energy and hope to help you make your way through. In other words, you need to tap into your resilience.

    "Like so many other human traits, resilience can be woven into the fabric of one’s being (nature) and/or it can be learned (nurture)," career and business coach Marjie Terry said.

    "One’s natural disposition may lead them to always look on the bright side or to look for the silver lining. For others, with an accumulation of life experience, they develop a resilience perspective and realize that, as the old saying goes, what doesn’t break you makes you stronger. They develop an ability to recognize that it’s important to keep going even when life hands you challenge after challenge—they develop perspective."

    Sometimes, there really isn't much else we can do but endure. And laugh!

    We had a lot of foreign contractors work at my company at one time, we had a "last name first initial' email naming policy, I was always sure to ask them first if the naming was ok and not inappropriate for their language, and was always sure to check new names. We could also set up aliases if they wanted a 'personalized' favorite email name.

    People are pigs. My first job in high school was a dressing room attendant. We’d ask customers to please bring all clothes back out when they were done and more than half would either throw the clothes they didn’t want at you or “forget”. You’d find all the clothes left in a pile on the floor. Recently I went to Macys where there’s no such thing as an attendant. I walked into one of dressing rooms which, no lie, had a 3’ high pile of clothes. People who do that just don’t realize their behavior is what raises prices because of the extra work it takes for employees to clean up or even damage clothes that can’t be sold.

    People should be fined for vandalizing stores/restaurants by leaving ‘messes.’ I once was a designer in partnership with another designer- we had a high end retail shop. A couple of stuck up b**tches came in and literally ransacked our store…. Upon straightening up the carnage I came across her very high end, very expensive prescription sunglasses…. She asked if I had found them, I replied ‘no I hadn’t.’ She then asked to speak with the owner or the manager. I gave her a Cheshire Cat grin, ‘yes, that would be me.’ Needless to say, those glasses met a very unfortunate end. If someone is going to deliberately be an asshat, then, the kid gloves shall come off!

    I honestly saw the picture and thought it was the last day of school (where some schools let the kids throw all of their papers as a celebration) before I saw the caption. How does this happen on the first day though?

    Yeah and then they get the f.cking parents come to complain by the manager. It’s not the job of the school to teach manners to those sorry to say again f.cking spoiled kids. I am sorry for my f words bud I truly get pissed on those people and who raised them, who have no manners or respect.

    I was laid off 2 weeks before I was supposed to go on maternity leave. I was supposed to have insurance covered the rest of the month since I had already paid for it. They called the insurance company and told them I quit and terminated it right then. I found that out when I gave birth to my son. Yes, it is illegal but very hard to prove that it was because I was pregnant. Some employers just suck. And no, there are no workers rights. Even if you are supposed to be protected.

    I think this might make sense in a different way. I've never (in the US) heard the word "fired" used other than when you are dismissed from a job for doing something wrong (sexual harassment, stealing, i.e. something criminal or breaking policies). The expression "layed off" is what I hear when you are dismissed from a job because of downsizing or for other reasons. This explanation is about the "you are not being fired" and why it could be true, but still they could have provided some insight into the reason why.

    You wouldn't get away with that in the UK. If you make someone redundant in a position that needs to be filled you have broken the law by laying that person off if you plan to refill the position. Point is, you're not allowed to lie about why you are terminating that persons post. Doesn't mean employers won't try but it does provide some safeguards.

    I worked in warehouse of a grocery chain in Ontario, Canada. It was the first "long weekend" holiday ever in August. It's known as "Civic Holiday". One guy working a lift truck was super excited about it because he took a corner too wide and he hit the sweet spot of the metal racking used to store everything. Well when everything came falling down there were two pickers running for their lives down the aisle followed by a huge earthquake. Well, that's how the warehouse felt to me while everything came crashing down. My supervisor ended up breaking his wrist while helping to clean up the mess. What a crappy way to start a summer long weekend!

    Yeah it really sucks when you have to make something a second time (to be on par, bc they lost most of it), and pull every appliance back out in the kitchen a second time to clean under... These appliances are cleaned under every shift or you will get shut down by the health department! I suppose this luck is worse when you've worked 12 hours and then have to do everything a second time while being paid like c**p. This looks like a very clean kitchen, and these people work their butts off, so maybe don't be so degrading towards them, unfilteredcigarette73!!

    None of it that spilled would have been put back.They have to make more again and pull every appliance out again to clean under. The cooler has wheels. It just really sucks when you've worked long hours and are basically done... this restaurant is clean and is not like the typical junk you see on the internet; this person is disparaged bc they are tired, have to remake sauce to be on par, and pull the appliances out again to clean under. It's just another s**t day in the restaurant industry!

    A number of years ago; major hospital main clinic. Huge snowstorm. Ex husband was a tech and got up at 4:00 a.m. to shovel out of the driveway as he had to be in by 7:00 a.m.. Inched his way the 10 miles to work. Out of eight techs, two showed up. What did they get for their dedication? A voucher for a free lunch in the cafeteria.

    No, take down those signs, use the toilet and DON'T put the signs back up. Perhaps not a legal requirement where this was (USA?) but in Britain places are required to have facilities for both sexes. Possibly more in the near future.

    Okay. I’m going to say it. I’m a woman. And this infuriates me. If women are going to call for gender equality in all things, we DO NOT get to do things like this “just because” it’s a women’s conference. You don’t get to cry about exclusion if you create exclusion going the other way. Use the actual women’s restroom. Wait in line if there’s a line. Be a big girl. If you absolutely have to go or you’ll shite yourself, run into the men’s restroom, but don’t be so unbelievably entitled as to “claim” it as a second women’s restroom. Going to say “well, there were ONLY women there”? If you’d get offended hearing about men making sexist jokes in a group of only other men, then you don’t get to say that.

    I’m pretty sure all toilets are equally usable for everyone. Why even bother having gender separated bathrooms? Just build normal private toilet rooms where anyone could pee or poop in private. You know those rooms where you can lock the door and be alone!

    often the disabled toilet is inside the big bathrooms, and it's just one stall. that seems to be the case here :(

    Coworker at a tattoo shop I worked at coated the inside of a glove in stencil. The purple ink the stencils are made from. Guy wore that glove for 30 plus minutes doing a tattoo and his whole hand was covered. He had a purple tinge for a week but his nails stayed purple. Took a while to grow out the purple on his nails. Months. That “prank” was no longer allowed by mgmt.

    We sort-of have this situation where I work. The problem isn't smell related though. The building was built before adoption of the ADA, and as-designed there were no handicapped accessible restrooms. During a later remodel, they added one. Unfortunately, the drain in that new bathroom doesn't quite have enough pitch between the toilet and the main drain for the building, so it can get clogged easily. The unwritten rule is "if the option exists, use the other bathroom first."

    Oh man I would deliberately blow this bathroom up and then contact OSHA for this violation; " OSHA requires employers to provide all workers with sanitary and immediately-available toilet facilities (restrooms)." - straight from their website so banning bowel movements violates the "immediately available" portion of that sentence.

    Nothing, I turned up for a job interview as Head Chef in a halfway decent hotel in the UK Home counties having landed in country 4 hours earlier off a 12 hour flight, plus I'd had a bit of a party with some of the other guys and girls who'd left the cruise ship we'd been working on, so wasn't in the best shape - in fact I was definitely still drunk . Was a bit disheveilled but once I'd explained, and was given strong coffee, the owner had a bit of a laugh and offered me the job anyway as my reputation was vouched for by quite a few of his staff and customers. Loved that place and stayed for 5 years ....

    My brother had a pretty terrible driving record as a teen, after totaling several muscle cars, he got a little compact car. Our grandma had given him a St. Christopher's medal to keep in his glovebox. One day he saw that it had cracked so he brought the medal in the house. The next day a huge tree branch fell on his car and totaled it, although he opted to get it fixed and kept it until he finished college.

    If you can, scoop them up, take them back to the restaurant, and explain what happened. I bet they'll be happy to replace them. I've been working in food-service for 25 years, and when something like this happens, and we know it was an honest accident (and not a scam just to get free food), we are always happy to help. Accidents happen. We're all human. We understand.

    How quickly everyone forgot that gas prices spiked back in the early 2000s too. After we invaded Iraq. I remember $6.50 a gallon in Northern California. Again, this is almost 20 years ago. Back when $5 went a lot further. Also do the math. 100/24.8 = about $4 per gallon. Sounds pretty reasonable to me.

    Red Cup Day is usually in November… and you get a free reusable red cup on that day. And drinks get abandoned because they’re ordered on the app. The app doesn’t tell you if the store you’re picking up at is soooo busy that it’s gonna be a while. So, people order, then when they realize how long it’s going to take… they don’t pick up their drink. You don’t get charged till you pick it up. So, abandoned drinks!

    I live in Cali too. Employers have to pay you OT if you don’t take your break before the 5-hour mark. I got written up a few times when customers kept me over my 5-hour mark or if my department manager took her break before mine and I couldn’t leave the department unattended. Maybe OP lives in a place where this isn’t the case, though.

    I’m fortunate that I’m female and have small hands; I can get into a size small glove. When my dad was still alive (he died last year), my boyfriend and I would wear gloves whenever it was my turn to take care of my dad. Boyfriend would try to put on the size large gloves and rip right through them :( It sucks! There should be more options - not everyone is a “standard hand size”.

    I have very large hands, and I worked for a while in a nursing home, and, taking care of 20 or so residents, 4 times per shift, that's 80 pairs of gloves a shift. The owner was bothered by having to order so many gloves just for me, tried to make me reuse gloves by going in and washing my hands with the gloves on between residents. The Nurse on my shift called her on it, telling her that if the State Nursing Board heard of it, doom would descend on the place. Since owner need RN more than the RN needed owner (shortage of RNs in town), I got all the gloves I needed after that.

    Ugh, I remember at my school the brand new performing arts centre had a massive mould and leaking problem within a few months of opening. Mind you, we missed about a week of school because of flooding, but for a year, I'd have to dodge buckets in the hallway and there was plastic wrap on the ceilings sealing in the black mould... fun.

    Eh, pull it out and use a bandage. Desinfect if possible, otherwise at least squeeze out some more blood before. Those things do not much harm. And, of course back to work, it's basically an advanced paper cut.

    If you volunteer for certain food charities (ones that take damaged/discarded food from supermarkets etc) this is the sort of job you will do - sorting through egg trays to remove broken ones and repackage the good ones for distribution to people in need.

    We had a cork board at work where employees could leave “compliments”/happy note cards about their fellow co-workers. Terrible idea for morale. There are employees who choose not to socialize, or cannot due to anxiety, shyness, or introverted nature, and it hurts them as other employees may see them as unfriendly when they aren’t. The people who don’t socialize/act friendly will never get compliment cards (or Valentines etc) and that sucks. IMO a stupid and unfair system as not everyone is the same levels of energy, friendliness, socialization, etc.

    Has anybody noticed that the majority of people being drug tested tend to be factory workers? None of the upper class people are subject to this. Congress, who passed this legislation, is exempt, also people like judges, CEOs, etc. I got in trouble with my company after being sent for a drug test after injuring my finger. When I got back, I told HR "I'll put my p**s up against management's any day." I got away with that because I was in a good union.

    People in factories could suffer injury or die if their reflexes are impaired by drugs. On the other hand, look at the upper management. Do you really think their work would be WORSE if they were on drugs?

    I think something that needs to be amended or done away with is weed. With it now being legal, that stuff stays in your system without you still being under the effects- like, what if someone doesn't like to drink alcohol, but takes a THC gummy for sleep/ pain relief. Alcohol will get out of your system by work time but that gummy will take days if not weeks to get out of your system, and you don't feel any effects after a few hours with them.

Returns to work and immediately given drug test. Fails due to painkillers in system given due to work injury. (so, basically fired for doing job.) Make more sense, now?

    When I got my first big motorbike I bought leathers to go with it. I am not the shape they make leather bike jackets for. The assistant in the shop left a pile of leathers about 5 times this pile's size as I tried on everything with 54 inch chest in the store. The bib and braces were for a 54 inch beer gut, very handy in the winter as I could fit a hot water bottle in them. Ended up with a blouson style jacket, fitted at my waist, extra folds of material down the back (so I could move me shoulders and arms) and loads of room in front to carry excess shopping (plants and the occasional cushion). My usual clothing size...not too small. Also got trapped in a helmet when the assistant closed the latch on the strap, we had to read the instructions to find out how to release it. We were both in fits of giggles after seeing me in the first "skinny arms and shoulders" jacket that I got stuck in. Over a decade later he was in a different bike shop and still remembered me and "the pile"

    work as a cleaner. once i was finished 5 minutes late. I already had my jacket on, when someone came running "OMG you're still there! someone threw up in the restaurant and no one wants to clean it!" He looked at me with puppy eyes, i took a deep sigh, came with him and found the mess and one very embarrased guest. I first told her not to worry about it, then i cleaned it up so quick and well (i was so pissed off they didnt do it themself) with a whole crowd of amazed onlookers. Two weeks later i found a 150 euro christmas bonus gift card for a big shopping center on my cleaningcart. I was told that was the first time the cleaner got one. I think i impressed the right persons :-D

    Limited edition - coloured red with a flavour ‘inspired by space’. According to Wikipedia, ‘Many have described the taste as similar to that of fruit, vanilla or cotton candy. Junk food review site Candy Hunting stated it "tastes like strawberry, marshmallow, and/or cotton candy".[7] Aly Walansky of Food Network wrote it tastes "kind of like minty cotton candy sprinkled with vanilla".[8]’

    This is a theft tactic, They lock your locked bike counting on you just leaving there, the thief is hoping to wait it out and come back at 2 am when the victim and no one else is around, cut your lock and take the bike.

    That doesn't mean it's bad. Drain it, change the filter, install it, fill it with tranny fluid, run it for a little bit, drain it, refill. Good to go.

    Long, skinny, push-button activated grabber- auto parts stores have them for screws that mechanics drop in engine compartments.

    If you can get it past the grate, maybe try a magnet on a string

    I see paper towel. At least clean up will be easier.

    Not really. That shít soaks right through a paper towel, and it's super thick and sticky. If you leave it for even a minute (like if you're at the office and walk away and come back), and it cools *at all*, it will weld that paper towel to the glass plate underneath like glue. You won't be able to pull it off without shredding it, and leaving bits behind. It'll take hot water and a scraper to get it all off. Then you still have to scrub the plate. And even if you get it right away, it's so sticky that it'll still take effort. Oatmeal is one of the worst things to spill in a microwave, IMO. Ask me how I know (dàmn kids lol).

    Always use a paper plate when nuculating foods that tend to boil over. 1) easy cleanup, 2) can still eat the spillover.

    A lesson I've learned from rather a lot of sad person experience. Plates go under things that will boil over, and a vented lid/cover over anything that's bound to spatter. Unfortunately, when I worked at a convenience store with a microwave, zero customers could be bothered with that level of decency, and "Chef Mike" had to be cleaned about every two hours -_-

    That HAS to be stirred while nukealizing, otherwise it just all boils out of the container. The directions don't say that however.

    Lol no it's not. The ketchup packets are unopened, and can still be used. Just throw them in the breakroom fridge, and/or have everyone take some home. My God, lol. Chill out.

    I would take all the ketchup home, plus you won’t need to go to the store because you could fill up a ketchup bottle with them
