The trick to drinking at work is to take iron wool to the outside of your tallboy of Steel Reserve and remove all the markings. Then if a coworker asks what you're drinking just say "I think it's root beer I found it on the discount rack at the grocery store." Also I couldn't find any comments on the pepper spraying when I looked up that story, which would be my first question.

Why didn't he mention that there's nothing about it in the employee handbook? If there isn't seems like it's fine. That being said probably not the healthiest thing and I wonder how many beers this guy drinks every day after work anyways. Because I'm exactly like that, luckily I go home for lunch so I can do as I please

Invisible Clergy posted:As far as subs not to waste your time with, despite our legacy title, I very seldom find good content in r/relationships. Most of the posts there are boring, and the ones that aren't are just straight up abuse, which we thankfully don't post here anymore. I also avoid justnomil, estrangedparents, or raisedbynarcissists. Aside from their impenetrable nomenclature, naming all the characters single initials and enforced use of a zillion stupid acronyms, the stories themselves are really long and not that interesting. cumshitter posted:The trick to drinking at work is to take iron wool to the outside of your tallboy of Steel Reserve and remove all the markings.

Like, fuckin absinthe, how did that absinthe interviewer not just emit a 5ft odour of alcohol

The worst are those weird mother in law subs where they can't just say "husband" or "fiance" or "boyfriend" or "mom" or "MIL" , everything is some stupid sub-specific acronym like: "So my DDBO5Y* got into a fight with my ATBM** and now my DBHS*** is threatening to go NC" *Dearest Darling Boyfriend of 5 years ** Awful Terrible Bio-Mom *** Darling Boyfriend's Horrible Sister

If your plan is to be able to deny that you knew you were drinking booze, from the can that you bought and brought to work...well, I've never worked for anyone that stupid, but vaya con Dios. Edit: One time I bought drinks for work, and the ginger beer was so spicy that some people just assumed they were tasting alcohol.

I think of this guy's story whenever the perks of a stereotypical startup environment come up. personally, and this is just me, even if there were no drawbacks and getting buzzed at work was my idea of fun I'd still rather be paid in money than in mediocre beer or pizza or whatever, and get out early enough that I can drink on my own time with my actual friends. It's like a twelve-year-old's idea of a good job perk My boss drunk-dialed my husband quote:I work at a high level in marketing, and I’m supervised by Tammy, an older, moody, and somewhat unpredictable woman. Besides her, everyone I work with is pleasant.

It's the whole reason humans invented names in the first place. Occasionally, when an otherwise interesting post from aita or something uses initials for character names as its only flaw, I will just make up names for the characters (and put a note in the post for posterity obvs) but with the subs I listed, there's so much just dross and bullshit, it makes it impossible to quickly tweak without rewriting the whole story, and life's too short.

Apparently a huge number of people just have zero spine or self respect and will put up with everything or have come to normalize incredibly hosed up poo poo because they've just not experienced anything else. "Hey my mom tried to cut off my daughter's hand for the 3rd time, feel bad going no contact though as family will get mad. Just going to try to keep knives away from her when she visits." "Hi my dog's in the vet again after my girlfriend poisoned him again but I can't afford the vet bills since she stole all the money from my account. I feel I'd be in the wrong breaking up because she has anxiety issues" "My roommate is actively shooting at me right now, forgive grammar as I'm posting on my phone behind a makeshift barrier dodging bullets. Roommate is unemployed so if we kick him out he might have trouble finding a new place, would I be the rear end in a top hat if we did?" Yeah, when it's just the OP who's involved, you can say "all right, enjoy your life of poop crumbs," but when they rope innocent people and animals into it, they cease to be victims and become complicit with the person actively doing the abuse.

There's also the risk that not everyone in your office understands "moderation" the same way and once your office gets to a certain size, the higher the chance some idiot is going to say "Well if Jimbob in Accounting has a light beer with lunch, my boys in the Sales team can do 5+ rounds of shots! It's not like we're DRIVING anywhere after, plus it's Thirsty Thursday!" I worked in a tech bro office that had booze privileges taken away after a couple dudes who were in denial about their alcohol problems started cracking beers open at 10 am and drinking for the rest of the day. They only ever had one beer open at a time, jeez, what's the big deal? And of course they would give some to the underage interns, who cares?? Everyone is soo uptight! It's just easier all around to say "no alcohol at work".

When it's Friday afternoon and you can finally crack open a hard earned cold one, that's a special feeling, I don't know why you'd want to diminish that by sucking down one or two beers a day all week long. Plus who wants to go back to work after they've been in chill mode drinking a beer anyways?
