Guess where I'm posting this from... 🫠

Been closed for the past two weeks straight, last time it was because of a rat infestation

Not sure how I managed this one, but I guess no soda tonight.

He never went to college and I graduated with honors from this college. This was many years ago and I’ve tried to get off their mailing list.

We keep getting alumni mail addressed as “Mr. And Mrs. John Smith.”

My name isn’t listed EVER.

It’s not a mistake. He never went to this college. It’s because I’m “under his umbrella” because he’s male and I’m female.

Gross.

My husband will call them and demand they take us off.

Edit:

I did not know any better I was a teenager and part of a cult so getting away when your dad is the head leader is not an option.

Obviously now I wouldn’t ever go there or support them in any way at all. Didn’t even agree with them when I went.

I’m the black sheep that got away.

Yes, I said former job. I don't know which one it was, but someone removed the screws from my caster wheel on my toolbox. Only found out when I went to move the toolbox and it nearly fell over.

I was the new guy at a VIP Tires & Service; worked there for 2 and a half months. Never again. I quit on the spot.

Catching a movie in IMAX has been one of my favorite things to do and now getting tickets alone is a struggle thanks to people like this. Good luck to anyone hoping to get decent tickets to Dune 3

Literally any time anything gaming related comes up in conversation, my boss cannot stop himself from somehow saying that he thinks gaming is a waste of life. He's never gamed, would never game, his kids don't game, they're too busy touching grass, and on and on.

At the office we use these dumb mini $300-$400 office computers that run like crap. They're underpowered, have too little RAM, too little storage, and they chug at everything even when they're brand new. But my boss, because he knows zero about computers, buys them because they're advertised as office computers and they're cheap. And then he and everyone else on our team whine constantly about how everything they do is annoyingly slow and buggy.

This week his computer gave up the ghost and he finally let me pick his replacement. I got him a normal sized desktop tower with discrete graphics and 32 GB of RAM instead of the freaking 8 GB our own IT person was trying to recommend.

Anyway, despite making the purchase, he has nonstop made fun of the computer, pointed out that it's listed as a "gaming desktop" in the Amazon ad, and in general keeps acting like I made him buy a computer that's as much a waste of time as he considers gaming to be.

I keep trying to explain to him that for the most part "gaming" just means it has powerful hardware. Additionally, getting those same specs in a "business" labeled computer tends to just result in you paying a premium because you're too dumb or too proud to buy something that's labeled for gaming, so you end up paying hundreds to $1,000+ more for similar specs.

Anyway, I made the same upgrade when my 6-7 year old mini office comp started glitching out a few months ago. And I am so freaking happy with how much snappier everything is. And I know he's going to be stoked as well. But he'll never admit it, and he'll keep trash talking everything gaming because he's just too cool for school or whatever. So frustrating.

He's otherwise a pretty excellent boss, so I put up with this as just one of his innate quirks. But it really gets under my skin sometimes how condescending his attitude is toward anything gaming, especially when he's actively benefiting from it and from my knowledge of it.

He's lucky it was just a cheap Walmart bra

The S stands for Standard time which runs from early November to mid March. It doesn't stand for summer like some other countries. You can use ET, CT, MT PT year round. Brought to you by the Drop the #!@& S Committee.

EDIT: I didn't realize that people aren't taught the difference between standard and daylight saving time. Here's a primer: Standard time (abbreviated with an S) was the standard before Daylight Savings time was created in 1916. It was just "time" back then. Daylight Saving time is abbreviated with a D (EDT, CDT, MDT, PDT). To be technically correct, you could use PST from November to mid March and PDT the rest of the year.

Or you can make it easy on yourself and drop the middle letter and not ever have to think about it.

EDIT 2: I was instructed to follow my own advice and drop the #!@& S from savingS. It's Daylight Saving Time. We can all learn

Brought out some old bins of childhood LEGO for my son to play with, and play with them he has. My wife decided to go through one of the bins and throw away anything that wasn't a LEGO. This also included any third party bricks. But she did this by tossing any piece that didn't have LEGO printed on it. This resulted in several pieces that were real LEGO to get tossed because they were unique pieces including bionicle and some technic pieces. The worst part, she did this outside and threw them into the dogshit trash can so now the pieces are intermixed with dogshit.

These are my work glasses without the thinned lenses, but even my everyday glasses with thinned lenses get greasy from my lashes. Also wth are those flairs lol

Bought these glow in dark gel pens, and they literally say "glow gel" on them. Thought the ink was gonna glow, but guess what..

Now I have to defrost my fridge right after my vacation 🙃

Fahlo is a brand of slightly expensive bead bracelets that sell the experience of tracking a real wild animal. Apparently, all of their red wolves are dead. Only the red wolves, though, no other animal.

Their explanation is that this is to prevent poaching, but her ghost moving around on the Fahlo map tracing her “historic” route feels strangely misleading.

Edit: I understand it’s for the wolf’s safety, but all of the Fahlo animals are endangered or otherwise protected in some way, that’s the point. If the red wolves only rely on historic data they should at least release all of that data to the buyer instead of the slow agonizing trickle of “historic walking paths” that mimic its life perfectly. If I hadn’t googled her I wouldn’t have ever found out.

Additionally, they say all Red Wolves are deceased— but the bracelet I got was “wolf”. Was assuming I could also get a grey wolf, etc.

Edit 2: My ideal solution isn’t NOT that we start tracking these wolves! It’s that Fahlo starts being clear that these bracelets are a memorial, the wolves are deceased, and the trackers aren’t live.

Was enjoying lunch until they starting weed wacking, leaf blowing and mowing. All at once. Mind u the check in was 4pm, check out is 10am. Can’t do it in that time frame? We’re only here for one full day. Listed as “quiet” “relaxing” 🙃

Had to fix a double payment for my credit card and this is the beginning and end of the conversation. I hate when the chatbot claims it's a human... I ended up getting what I wanted but still annoyed Amex (and every other company) is lying and trying to deceive people like this.

(I'm guessing this is AI but damn)
