This one is kind of obvious, but try and guess before you mouse over the spoiler all the same. AITA For leaving my shift over socks? quote:So I work at a chain restaurant for the past 3 years. Think Australian and steaks. The managers are all egotistical & like to treat the servers/hosts like children. One manager went on a weird hunt for a little bit making sure everyone was wearing black socks. (Our uniforms are bell bottom pants so you can’t see out socks). He would make us pull up the bottom of our pants when we clocked in for a “sock check”. I own mostly only black socks so I just happened to be following this rule most of the time.

Brawnfire posted:Yeah, you're the rear end in a top hat, it's normal for a business to lose its poo poo at a client for expectations of service George Orwell posted:I found—one might expect it, perhaps—that the small landlords are usually the worst. It goes against the grain to say this, but one can see why it should be so. Ideally, the worst type of slum landlord is a fat wicked man, preferably a bishop, who is drawing an immense income from extortionate rents. Actually, it is a poor old woman who has invested her life’s savings in three slum houses, inhabits one of them, and tries to live on the rent of the other two—never, in consequence, having any money for repairs.

I left jobs if I'd been there multiple years cleaning up messes and they decided to get petty with me. The smaller the thing, the more likely I'd just loving walk, because it's clear that no amount of good graces was ever getting me past the "idiot we hired off the street" category in some diseased restaurant manager's mind.

When people say that, they mean fair to the parents, not the kids. 50/50 possession is hard on kids. It's two home bases, two sets of rules and a different routine every couple of days.

OP's not going from absolutely 0 custody, so the 2 rules and differing routines is already at play: "currently I get them every other weekend and 2-3 evenings a week" Sure, maybe only one home base, but I think the kids should have a solid exposure to what kind of family life is waiting for them.

boop the snoot posted:Terminate the lease early probably means cough up several months of rent to do it. He says in the story the landlord gave the option to terminate early. I assumed that meant like, with a clean slate. But maybe the landlord was just pointing out "you can get another place [but still have to pay on this one for the rest of the lease lmao]." I dunno. In any event I wouldn't want to stay with a dickhead landlord for any longer than I had to. Yes, all landlords are bad, but all of mine so far in life have been either pleasant enough to talk to or at least faceless corporations.

Blastedhellscape posted:From a few pages back, and I get the impression this whole post is exaggerated for dramatic effect, but the idea of even waiting two weeks to change bedsheets kind of grosses me out. Personally I've got to wash my sheets and sleep on new ones at least twice a week, and if I were rich and could just buy unlimited, high threadcount cotton sheets I'd be changing those things every day. When I finally moved into a place where I had my own washer and dryer, I started switching my sheets out daily. It feels like I'm sleeping in a hotel bed every night, absolutely glorious and worth the extra bit of effort. (Also, you don't really need an unlimited supply. I have 6 sets of sheets and so each sheet still only goes in the washing machine about once a week, and they hold up to that pace of washing fairly well.)

sephiRoth IRA posted:Yeah. Like it would be great if everyone was super woke and see positive but unfortunately we're humans and he's having a very normal reaction to what is a lovely situation. The experiences are one thing, but "maybe I should have married him" is at best a crappy, mean joke (assuming that's not their standard style of humor) This isn't being sex positive, from my view it's just the opposite - sex positivity pushes mutual consent, and here it seems like she's getting a thrill out of humiliating her partner while he wants no part of this. Because she's not just remembering, she's editorializing in a way to get a reaction ('maybe I should have married him', etc). Even discounting that potential aspect, sex positivity endorses healthy boundaries, which means respecting if this is something that would bother someone, regardless of how innocent it may or may not be. Nah, this is just your standard sex jerk.

SMEGMA_MAIL posted:loving PEASANTS WANT A HOUSE FIRST AND NOW THEY WANT ELECTRICITY??????? Ridiculous Okay so landlords suck, but also: quote:So where we live, there has been a lot of recent storms and flooding, causing highway closures with an unknown timeline for reopening. I am 90% sure that this is southern British Columbia, which is currently experiencing some absolutely unprecedented (climate change. Its definitely climate change) rainfall, mudslides, flooding. The town of Merritt was evacuated, is still mostly evacuated (I have a friend who's been out of their home for weeks, and had to leave one of their cats behind and is EXTREMELY WORRIED), a major highway route is basically destroyed and will likely take months, if not years, to repair, and a huge agricultural area that supplies a lot of food to the province is mostly underwater right now. It is a very serious natural disaster that is still in progress and will continue to be for the forseeable future. I'm further north than the danger but so much freight comes through Vancouver that in my neck of the woods supply chains are badly strained, and the full ramifications have yet to be seen. Yes, this redditor should have power in their office. Yes, that should be fixed. But also, maybe pestering someone to fix a minor problem during a natural disaster is loving tone deaf.
