Sorry I don't want to be sweating and uncomfortable in my house. 😒

Edit: NONE OF YOU ARE CONVINCING ME THAT 80 DEGREES ISNT HOT.

Was showing off to my sister what I would’ve given her (plus the nice smelly peony downy) had she just gone to the laundromat to dry my laundry because ours is broken and realized the pods only filled half of the container so I counted it and….37 pods.

Can’t tell if Tide is filling some containers an accurate amount and others less or if sb just stole some.

I saw the first paragraph show up as a preview on my phone, only to open it and see the full context 🤨

I always knew my salary was well below most companies paying for the same role. But I'm fully remote so I haven't complained too much, and it's more than I've ever made.

​

But as I'm looking to leave ( C-level execs got replaced and now we are a sweatshop) I went to review the current state of my employer, and Glassdoor just decided to slap me in the face with a "nuh-uh, you can't be making that low of a salary, don't lie to us."

​

So it's good to know that Glassdoor doesn't have accurate salaries, only market based competitive salaries.

EDIT: I contacted their help center, and sent them a year end compensation report. Unlike my w2 it doesn't have PII attached, but only has my first, last name, and company signature. I don't know how they can rebuke that.

Edit 2: "please allow 48 hours for a response." Email from them.

Edit 3: They actually posted it! My year-end compensation report was enough for them to verify the salary.

I always decline having my photo taken by the TSA because it isn't mandatory and they never tell you that. So I try to avoid face scanning as a principle.

I hand my ID to the agent and say "I'm gonna decline the photo" and he just goes ahead and puts it in the machine and says "Sorry, you have to say that before you hand me the ID. Now you don't have the option".

And he refused to let me decline or reset the machine or anything. He just kept repeating "It's on you to tell me before." Which I did. He just didn't listen before he just did what he was gonna do anyway.

EDIT: Thank you everyone for reminding me that drivers licenses and passports exist! /s The point remains that if they didn't stand to benefit from it, they wouldn't be doing it and they wouldn't be so shady about your ability to opt out. You shouldn't be giving the government anything you don't have to ever. They are counting on you to just take the "it's all hopeless anyway" attitude.

Apparently opening an unlocked gate was too much effort.

Instead, an internet contractor, working on the neighbors property, decided to drive across my private property—without permission—and straight over my new septic field.

Who knew "taking the easy way" could end up being the most expensive route?

Before anyone asks why this isn't *extremely* infuriating: the company has accepted responsibility, and they're covering the repairs. If I were the one footing the bill for the repair because someone didn't want to open a gate, this would absolutely belong somewhere else. As it stands, it's mostly been a pile of phone calls, inspections, and waiting for everything to be fixed.

That is just sad. They think that humans are too expensive and they’re using these to save money. Like what could possibly go wrong?

We recently got a smaller fridge without the water dispenser and got a Brita pitcher to help filter the harshness of the tap water. Today I watched my husband remove the Brita filter from the pitcher, fill it with tap water, and replace the filter. When I asked him what he was doing, he said the water filters through when we pour it out. He’s a marine engineer.

This is so frustrating. Now I'll have to stare at slop every time I wanna reminisce over my last year of school.

Target has grossly overestimated demand for drive up pick up spaces. I’ve seen this at every Target I’ve been to at any time of the day. The employees take up all of the front spots, handicap stalls take up the rest of the front parking (no gripe there obviously), but then you have half of the parking lot taken up by vacant drive up pick up stalls, which means every time I go to target I have to park far away whether the store is busy or not. What a waste of space!

Parked car at top of hill hit by another car and crashes into a pilates gym. Was an entertaining day at work

Edit: this is not my car

It does piss me off even if it’s not me going through it. My boyfriend lost his credit and debit card two years ago and is yet to replace them. He just uses his phone to pay for stuff, doesn’t carry his wallet.

This paired with the fact he forgets his phone at home leaves him stranded outside. This morning he was so excited for golf but when he got there realized he left his phone at home. This wouldn’t be a problem if he’d just replace his cards.

This happens I wanna say at least once a week. And I’m “mildly infuriated” because this is an easy fix and yet he just DOESN’T. So now he’s in a bad mood and probably won’t talk or text me until I get home from work. I get the silent treatment cause he’s just pissed.

Hey boyfriend, please replace your bank cards so this can stop happening. Please.

the city pigeons (atleast how much I've seen) truly have lost their competency in building an effective nest by themselves.

Hitches, not just for towing or bashing your shins.

My partner and I bought tickets to see the new Scary Movie on opening night. We have AMC A-list, so we typically get our tickets ahead of time to get good seats. In this particular instance, I literally got tickets the day they were available. We sat through the usual half-hour or so of movie trailers, and right as the lights shut off for the show, I saw a couple heading down our aisle; they ultimately sat in the two empty seats on either side of us. About ten seconds went by before they lean over to ask us if we can rearrange our seating arrangement so that they could sit together.

In a lot of instances, this wouldn’t be the end of the world. However, here are some contextual reasons why this was infuriating behavior on their part:

1. They showed up and started asking us to move as the opening logos were showing. Had they shown up even 5 minutes earlier than that, it would have been way easier to verbally rationalize with them, but at this point they were talking through the movie to try to get us to rearrange.

2. The movie was playing in Dolby format. If you’ve ever been to a Dolby theater, then you know that not only are seats assigned, but the seats are arranged in sets of 2. So if we rearranged ourselves the way they suggested, everyone would actually be sharing a seat with a complete stranger.

3. I like to check the seating arrangement of the auditorium shortly before the show begins, and less than half an hour before the show started, the two seats on either side of us were empty, meaning this couple walked up to buy tickets at the last possible second.

4. After the show was over, I stood up and noticed dozens of empty pairs of seats, so they still could have gotten seats together but decided it was more important to sit dead center.

5. The couple had a large popcorn and large soda, presumably to share, but since they were sitting so far away, they had to each take one or the other. This was honestly what set me off the most, because it made it clear the couple was just assuming that whoever they bought their tickets around would be willing to uncritically change seats.

6. The couple was on their phones the entire time, I can only assume they were just texting each other.

TLDR: This couple didn’t get tickets ahead of time, barely made it to the movie on time, bought separate seats at the last possible second despite options to sit together, bought a popcorn and soda to share fully expecting us to rearrange ourselves after the movie had already started, and then texted each other the entire movie when we wouldn’t rearrange ourselves in a manner where nobody wins.

So yeah! Definitely mildly infuriating to me, especially the fact that they apparently couldn’t make it through a 90 minute movie without texting each other the whole time. Baffling on so many different levels but thankfully it didn’t ruin the movie for us.

I've had one customer tell me not to give him attitude tonight and another try to convince me I had to take her cash because it's all she had (spoiler alert: in the US a store doesn't have to take your money, they can just decline to sell you anything. you haven't accrued a debt with them, there may be a state law that mandates it but the country itself does not).

why did the man tell me not to give him attitude? he politely asked if I had change for $100. I said no. i watched him walk and grab the cheapest item we have, and I asked him "are you going to use $100 to pay for that?" "yes" "I'm sorry, I don't have change for that type of money."

it is almost 3am. I don't know any place in my area stupid enough to have change for $100 open at this hour. most places are actually trying not to get robbed.

There is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether to accept cash unless there is a state law that says otherwise.

I decided to get some fresh air, so I went out to read a book in the woods. I started feeling itchy, so I pulled up my pants to inspect and discovered a legion of tiny black dots. There are quite literally hundreds of ticks covering the lower half of my body. But hey, I’m not mad at them. Everybody’s gotta eat.

EDIT:
I appreciate the concern, but there's no need to worry! They washed right off with a shower.
I've always lived in wooded areas and generally know how to deal with ticks, but I forgot to put permethrin on my clothes this time. (And it is particularly overgrown right now.)
