THIS

Hahaha I can relate

My dear old dad used to say not to lend more money than you're willing to lose. Solid advice, I don't lend money to anyone besides my mom. I never expect her to pay me back because she's mom and has only ever asked twice to borrow money.

With all the disabled parking vigilantism and overall disbelief that someone is ill coupled with the general stupidity of the public in regards to chronic illness/injury - this does not surprise me at all.

It may be legal to discuss your wages with fellow employees, but I bet you're two to one if you do it and you tell your boss that they'll figure out a way to fire you.

Only in the US.

This is universal man smh

Including mental health days. Those are the worst

More over I miss companies having "sick days". I go in not feeling 100% because I lose money and I'll accumulate "points" that can get me terminated.

It's like that with everything. "I mean ffs that's typical of your mother to go and die on a Tuesday!"

Entirely this. I had a fever of 102° but I still felt scared telling my boss. Glad I did because it turned out I had COVID. (That's what I get for having worked in a mall where almost none of our customers wanted to follow the mandate.)

I worked at restaurants where if you called in sick they would give you a hard time until you came in even with a fever no matter how sick you were. This was in restaurants.

Seriously. I called in sick day before Easter. I tried downing dayquil and taking in caffeine just to get functioning but I had a fever and a raging headache. I felt terrible. Then two days after Easter my boss is walking around telling the room how she has bronchitis and her boyfriend told her to call out but she "didn't want to be a terrible person". 😑

But not when you are hungover.

I just text my boss. No guilt, since I only do it when I'm actually sick. Which was in 2018.

Sometimes I go places while sick in order to get things done, I'm not that sick at those times though.

In many countries, including the UK, this is either illegal or very tightly regulated.

Yep. I would just kinda anxiously nod at security at the exit and fear they'll stop me, thinking I might've shoplifted something. :')

Or in front of. Heck, I get nervous driving behind them because I had a cop use his rear speed radar and some questionable and unsafe driving tactics to goad me into speeding, just long enough for him to drop behind me then pull me over. He ultimately fined me for doing 70 in a 60, saying he could've nailed me for 75. Judge threw it out in court after hearing about his shenanigans on the highway. Apparently he had a habit of using unorthodox and unsafe maneuvers to trick people into breaking a traffic law just so he could ticket them. I still had to pay admin fees but that was nothing compared to the $300 fine itself.

So stupid. So us woman are allowed to enjoy music, theater etc for kids because it's cute but men aren't? Stupid people

German restaurants usually have the menu posted outside so you can read it before you enter - don't you have this in the US? It saves everyone a lot of trouble, especially if you are vegetarian.

'Looks great'. At home:😭 noooo

Pre-pandemic, not such a big deal but these days? Oh boy.

Air bnb?

As long as you aren't mean to them....

My boss would be pissed for being left out of the fun.

I feel completely the opposite - I am always worried that they will ask me to pay for it again if I use it in the shop it came from. No problem with one from another store :).

When you gotta go, you gotta go.

They would be banning you from doing math in your own head, right? Loads of dystopian sci fi novels tell me that's "thought policing."

Did this yesterday. I always keep the receipt in my hand just so I can wave it at security if they should stop me. In almost half a century, nobody ever has! LOL

This really should be illegal.

Not for me.

I have my licence for more than 28 years now and it STILL feels weird.

This technically is actually illegal. Until you pay for the goods, you do not own them and the shop owner/manager has the right to withdraw any goods from sale. By eating or drinking the produce before you pay for them you are taking away the owner/manager's right to exercise control of their goods.

This is not illegal but it is shady, First the mask thing is nothing, everyone is wearing or not wearing masks right now, However when you walk into a store with your hood up and sunglasses on inside a store it possibly could put the staff on notice that you - might - be there to steal. I know it's not fair but they don't know you, they've never met you so they have to go with their instincts.

Remember to look for singletons. They usually get tossed

What do they mean "after" covid?... it's still happening... one of my coworkers has been living her life like normal even after mask mandates were lifted... she just tested positive smh...

It doesn't feel illegal but it does feel like cheating on them. LOL

No, it doesn't.
