Johnny Truant posted:What I don't get about some of the "drinking at work" stories is like, how tf does anyone else not just smell it on their breath? Like, fuckin absinthe, how did that absinthe interviewer not just emit a 5ft odour of alcohol Well for homeboy anyways Busch light is hardly gonna smell like anything unless you're making out with him or something If you're hitting the hard liquor at work you got some serious issues, this isn't the 50s anymore when everyone was blasted dawn till dusk. To answer your question they often will have mouth wash or strong mints around although it rarely works as well as the drunk believes it is Kenshin posted:This is hilarious because I've worked at multiple places with kegerators or beer in the fridge and would regularly (though not every day!) have a beer with lunch. So would other folks. Nobody cared. That's called privilege

Back when we were allowed to be in the office, rather than in perma-WFH, at least three or four of us had scotch or other such liquors in our desks and openly offered pours to anyone of-age who wanted it. Tech culture is loving weird.

The Bloop posted:I can't remember explicitly seeing Don't Drink At Work in an employee handbook At my prior job (call center) there was nothing in the handbook about alcohol. This allowed adult beverages to be served at business lunches and company events. One year at the Xmas party they gave out free glasses of champagne or beer. Each employee got 1 ticket for an alcoholic drink, and could request 1 for their adult plus-one. There immediately arose a brisk black market for unused tickets from the non-drinkers. After a weird incident involving the sleigh ride in the parking lot that ended with the Director's wife unconscious in the bushes, HR had a rethink. The handbook was amended to "alcohol during work functions must be approved by VP or higher" and then later quietly changed to "no alcohol."

Halloween Jack posted:Edit: One time I bought drinks for work, and the ginger beer was so spicy that some people just assumed they were tasting alcohol. Fentiman's? That one goes straight to my sinuses and is a bit staggering for the first sip of the bottle. I've had someone make a similar assumption about it, though I've never had an alcohol that tasted like that so either they drink different stuff (not that I drink much) or that's just their default assumption when something tastes even a little interesting.

The wife of awful ‘dishes spoiler alert’ husband is trying reallllll hard to convince herself she’s ok with the division of labor in those opening paragraphs. “I’m totally fine with it!” “I like it this way!” “Hahaha it’s just how we do it! Seriously it’s fine!” said through gritted teeth.

Runcible Cat posted:Has anyone else seen Volere Volare? It's a hoot. The woman the hero's in love with is a sex worker and among her clients are a couple who take turns pretending to be dead while the other and her mourn as dramatically as possible, threaten to kill themselves because they can't go on living alone etc etc. So obviously the OP and gf need to open their relationship to include another mourner.

Just Dew it: My (23 F) boyfriend (24 M) put Mountain Dew in my coffee to make "Mountain Dewfee" (yes really) and thought it would be "romantic". quote:My boyfriend and I have been dating for 8 months and until this morning I thought we were destined to be married. I walked into the kitchen this morning and witnessed my boyfriend pouring a 1 Liter bottle of Mountain Dew into my relatively new coffee maker. Into the spot where you normally put water. Mountain Dew. For about 3 seconds I literally thought maybe I didn't wake up and that this was some sort of dream. But no, it was real life.

Malkof posted:Just Dew it: I just want to hear from the boyfriend to hear what aspect of a horrible soda coffee was supposed to be romantic Why did he keep insisting that this weird invention was a gesture that would somehow mean more to her? It doesn’t sound like Mountain Dew is a big fave of hers, so where does the romance come into the picture?

you're all missing the worst part of the story: having to wait 2 days to make your own coffee this leaves only 2 options, buying 2 days worth of starbucks's and keeping them in your fridge until needed or eating spoonfuls of coffee grounds with breakfast

rotinaj posted:I just want to hear from the boyfriend to hear what aspect of a horrible soda coffee was supposed to be romantic I assume it's self sabotage, and the 24yo man simply doesn't know how to end a relationship without a dramatic blowup or it being someone's fault. That's my best guess, anyways.

Incoming estranged parent in 3... 2... Aita for refusing to call my daughter by her nickname? quote:I had three sons and when I had my daughter I was so excited. I decided to name her my all time favorite girl name that I read in a book in adolescence: Cataleya. Her entire life since preschool she insisted on being called “Taley” pronounced like “tally mark”. It’s so ugly. I have always refused to call her that nickname and always called her by her full name which she said she didn’t like.

I'm gonna assume there's something that we're not being told here, because "my daughter's cutting me off because I refuse to use what she thinks is her name" is JUST estranged parent-y enough that it makes me feel doubtful.
