I know in New York women can go topless for whatever reason too. But like just in Central Park or some poo poo. Pride in WA was a bit shocking the first time around. My first year here I got to witness a guy wearing nothing and playing the bag pipes at the foot of the Space Needle. The World Fountain is always filled with naked people dancing in the water. It's pretty fun and I've experienced exactly 0 creeps so far.

Scathach posted:So I used to have a coworker with little boys and she taught them all to sit so she wasn't cleaning piss up all the time. I now live in a house with a teenage/preteen boys that can't aim for poo poo and it's terrible. I'm all for teaching dudes to sit inside and piss standing when outside. So, I know you had a thead about living in a commune you were building last year. Do the preteen boys live on the commune or is that done? That was a pretty cool thread and I was hoping there would be updates but it looks like it's archived now.

Ugh so long story short, we didn't know the landlord had PTSD from stuff 40+ years ago and my fiance looked a little like her abusive ex husband. She was also starting to show signs of dementia from a stroke she suffered from like a year before we moved in. Last October she lost her poo poo and kicked everyone out because she thought the men were out to get her. It's really hosed up because she was so awesome before. It's not her fault though, dementia is a terrible diease. We lost the bus since CNG isn't publicly available anymore and we couldn't afford to have a 20-ton vehicle hauled out of the mud. So for the time being we're renting from my fiance's family, hence living with little brothers around. It's alright because his mom has been sick and they needed a hand anyway. We have to wait for Dank AF to be at his new job 1-2 years before we can be approved for a mortgage. Once we get approved we're trying to find five or so acres to do our own community thing. We miss living with our friends-- they're all spread out now-- and miss having land to work with and bonfires and wildlife and poo poo. I really loving miss that bus.

If your partner had a prior work history he may still be able to qualify for a loan as long as division, bonus, ot, etc are not required for income qualification. I won't poo poo this thread up with it any longer but BFC has a house buying thread. Sorry about your bus

It's a different type of job, he went from crap retail to Boeing, so they said he has to wait because it doesn't show consistency or whatever. I guess if it was the same line of work it would be fine. But that gives us time to save and to pick a piece of property we like. And the bus, well, as soon as we get a little cabin somewhere I'm buying another one and turning it into the hangout spot. God knows whatever house we buy will probably be tiny anyway. E I'm cool with mandatory toplessness. Sounds reasonable in the summer.

The other side of that is her contributing $0 towards the house but get put on the deed anyway. There's also a 3rd side of that where you do split the costs, you do add both people to the deed, then you have a nasty break up and are in a super terrible situation. So what I'm saying is houses are the devil.

A Wizard of Goatse posted:nobody cares about the fate of the fuckin burrito they hate him because like half a food service worker's life is dealing with dipshits trying to scam free food out of them with some idiotic technicality, and if the manager notices he's likely to take the loss out of their paycheck. If it's the wrong order but it's still clearly edible and tasty to you, just loving eat it. Oh shut up. It's the wrong burrito. It's the house's mistake. I side-eye you for eating most of it before bringing it up, but whatever, here's the burrito you ordered, Piggy. Docking someone for a returned food item is just not legal in most states. I work in the service industry in Texas, where I can be legally fired for telling my boss I think his tax dollars should be used to feed starving children, and I've never seen a service worker take a pay hit for incidentals like that. Courageously defending the company's bottom line from vicious, burrito-chiseling outlaws is a waste of time and energy. If you feel any moral outrage against the dude, you are naive as gently caress. Yeah, it's not exactly in line with the social contract, but nobody should ever care that damned much. *I spit in the window girl's face, demand a free Frosty, and get one, because the food-service industry is a soul-crushing Hell. **I wouldn't do a Wendy's worker like that. I work for a living too.

You should count yourself lucky if you've never been a food service worker and had to look at a smug motherfucker with a satisfied poo poo-eating grin handing you 1/6 of a burger and demanding it be comped because "This is the worst food I've ever eaten" Honestly, I have a hard time believing that's not exactly what happened here (the fat gently caress ate almost two entire burritos) and he only came up with the "Don't waste food" story after his girlfriend called him an rear end in a top hat and before he went to Reddit. American customers are loving insane with their idea that an innocent and rectifiable mistake means that they're entitled to a bunch of extra poo poo for free.

When I worked pizza I had no problem telling lying customers trying to scam the business out of free pizza or breadsticks “No, we know what you’re doing” to their faces (or more often over the phone). “No, it hasn’t been an hour, it’s been 35 minutes, and those guarantees are illegal now anyway”, “No, your food was not cold when it got to you,” “No, I’m not sending you free food,” and “No, the customer isn’t always right, it doesn’t magically make fifteen minutes into an hour because you said so” are all things I said every weekend. It’s not that hard. Sadly most people don’t think it’s worth their time or effort, and they’re probably right, but gently caress you if you eat more than half of something and expect a refund or replacement.

Exactly, you can't say the majority of that at most chain places because then it's "Well, let me speak to your manager" who will immediately capitulate 99% of the time, then take it out on you the moment the customer leaves with twice the food for free. It's not about the free food, it's about eating poo poo and having to pretend you want seconds from both the customer AND the manager.

Yeah I should emphasize that I didn’t work for a chain and half the reason I was able to say the poo poo I did was because the manager was a huge wuss and just didn’t want to deal with any confrontation himself. Any national chain has dumb policies you might as well take advantage of, but if you’re scamming your local taco shop out of 75% of a burrito that’s different.
