No, the teenager's just being an rear end in a top hat.

Being pregnant is a form of temporary disability. Pregnant people deserve the same accommodations as anyone else who has trouble walking or standing, has to pee all the time, randomly vomits, etc, no matter the reason.

Also becoming pregnant is not always a voluntary decision.

The question of whose disability is more "deserving" of the seat is a huge can of worms, and in this case it's unanswerable because we don't know what disability the teenager had. But she was definitely being an rear end in a top hat by dismissing the pregnant woman's temporary disability in that manner.

Really Madcats

A few years ago someone stole two boxes of ice-creams from the work freezer. Facilities were so pissed off they bought myself and the other ice-cream owner replacements.

Also the last two places I worked had someone who'd taken on the role of 'Friday fridge emptier' - if it was unsealed and still in the fridge by about 1630 it was going in the bin. (Things like fruit were put on a communal snack table iirc, and there was a once a month 'everything goes' clean out)

I have trouble walking and standing, I pee all the time, and I vomit occasionally as well .. And yet, I manage to go through life without expecting special treatment. Funny how that works.

I was working at a place a few years ago where the operations manager had a huge problem with the fact that I was vegetarian so she twice tried to replace something I had in the fridge with a meat version. Like I had a leftover vegetarian eggroll in there and she replaced it with a pork one.

I had some food stolen out of a work fridge so I came up with with the perfect solution: Just leave my food in my bag. It's not going to rot in the 4-6 hours between leaving home and lunch time.

About 20 years ago I was on a Navy ship that was having a problem with people's snacks going missing (which is an even bigger infuriation when you are months from resupply). Anyway eventually it got found out who the thief was and a couple guys beat the poo poo out of him badly enough that he had to go on bedrest for several days and would have definitely gone to the hospital if we weren't at sea.

The resolution was that the captain fined the guys that had assaulted the thief, but none of them really ever had any other consequences. Meanwhile the captain gave the snack thief the maximum punishment he could legally give and then kicked him out of the Navy.

How dare you insinuate that my furbabies are less important than human children :qq:

It's not about "furbabies" it's about being greedy and wanting more money. This sort of thing can happen even when everyone in the family has kids. My grandparents decided to broadly split the estate 50/50 between their two children, while also leaving a fixed sum for each grandchild. The fixed sums weren't huge but my dad was pissy about the fact that his sister had multiple children and he only had one, saying it "wasn't fair that she got more" despite the fact that the money wasn't for her or him.

AITA for refusing to call my fellow student "Lord Jeff" just because he purchased it off some Irish website?

quote:

I am in this masters program and in one of our classes there is this guy call him Jeff. Guy is really socially awkward and the times I had to work with him he was very annoying. He would constantly correct the professor on the most useless of things, and some how relate every topic we are having on accounting about how his mom died.

Recently he addressed the class and told us that he is now a "Lord" in Ireland or Scotland ( I am not sure) and to please address him as Lord Jeff. I thought this was just a joke, but he has gone out of his way to correct people and even the professor if they don't call him Lord. I asked him like how did you realize you were a lord? and turns out his uncle just purchased it for him for a couple hundred bucks online, kind of like how you can name a star.

After finding this out, I refuse to call him "Lord", he has gotten very angry with me and accuses me of deadnaming him. Everyone else in our small class either avoids him or just calls him Lord Jeff, but I refuse to do so. He has threatened to go to the administration, and I told him he is welcome to.

But the brother also doesn't even have 30 million! He got the funding, but that's the company's money, from which he has to pay all of the salaries -- including his own -- and rent the office and buy all the equipment and everything. That's going to evaporate pretty drat fast if he's in the Bay area and hiring overpaid shitheads from Tesla and Google. Once it's gone, it's gone; I assume that like 99 out of 100 startups, this company is not profitable. And the way these VC investment agreements are written, if everything starts to collapse, the VCS will siphon up everything that's left and leave the company founders and employees with the scraps.

Now let's be fair, he could be embezzling heavily and actually consider the money "his".
