oldpainless posted:Public bathrooms always being loving disgusting. And not just at a bar, where I’d expect it from drunks partying or liberal cities where 90% of the population are habitual drug users. But at coffee shops, restaurants, gyms, department stores, normal places the bathrooms are still gross. My bathroom isn’t gross and I don’t make other bathrooms gross. Stop doing it. Yeah this never fails to baffle me. You can go to like lovely restaurants or plush offices, and there's still piss all over the toilet floor. What the gently caress is going on? Who is doing this?

The last time I was in a public restroom, a fight broke out in the stall next to me because one guy pissed all over the seat. "What the gently caress, hey there's piss on the seat!" "Ain't mine." "You just came out of the stall!" "Well I didn't pee, so." "So you sat down on all this pee? gently caress you!" smash crash bang \/\/ what? \/\/ credburn has a new favorite as of 03:43 on Dec 3, 2023 |

I'd be legit dismayed if I met a man who could poop without peeing. It's unnatural.

God, stores that can't just be honest about stock and etc, and instead yank you around hoping you'll be too lazy to cancel the order. Store 1: Bought some ovens alongside some lamps. Ovens were in stock, they only sent the lamps, marked the delivery as 'partially delivered' and sent no mention that the ovens had not been sent. I only found that out when I got the delivery and they were missing. Now the ovens were out of stock. I cancelled the ovens, as there was no indicator of when they'd be in stock. Store 2: Same ovens were in stock, I ordered them. 2 Days later a 'oopsie woopsie ur dewivvery has bween dewayed' delay email came. I checked the site, ovens out of stock. I checked the order and there's no indication of when they might be in stock. There's no sale or anything special going on with them, so I can only conclude that one or both places pretend like things are 'in stock' when they expect them shortly or something. Just be honest, if I get a 'It's out of stock and probably won't be in until the 10th' then I'll know that and will probably stick around unless it's urgent. When I just get a vague 'oopsie', I'm cancelling the order as fast as I can because for all I know you might be stringing me along until january.

That was the worst when I was still working with that garbage call centre that dealt with issues with deliveries for a sporting goods conglomerate. The website and the back end didn't update in sync, they updated in waves so a bunch of people would see a bunch of an item listed as in stock when the stocking system said that there were only 5 of them, so a bunch of people would order that item then the ones that didn't get it were like "Well why did the website say it was in stock then?!"

Extra good when the item in question is supposed to be a new old stock replacement part that nobody has manufactured in 50 years. Are they wanting me to wait around until somebody in their warehouse figures out how to build a time machine?

How other people can seemingly say whatever words they want and I'm supposed to figure out what they meant, whereas I have to be precise in my language and any misunderstanding was my fault for being unclear. It'd be an amusing phenomenon if it didn't happen so often.

Since we're on toilet-talk, the ones my office suck. They're automated, but poorly. The toilet sensors are too-sensitive, they ALWAYS go off as you're taking your pants off/getting ready to sit down, so you basically have to stop lowering yourself down halfway every time to let it finish the flush or you get sprayed with toilet-water on your rear end. Then the urinals are the opposite. They almost NEVER flush, but they also don't have a manual flush button under the sensor like the toilets do, so there will be times when it's just full of piss. I try to remember to place my hand in front of the sensor and move it around when I'm done so I know it flushes, but clearly not everyone is doing that.

My office has a mere five toilet cubicles for a floor of about 200 people, so you often have to either go to a different floor and try your luck there, or just god drat hold it in.

There are 3 stalls (I think - never been in there) for the 4 women. And one of the dudes destroys the toilet so you gotta either hold your breath or come back later anyway

Duolingo: I guess that "このお弁当はおいしいです" may literally translate as "this lunchbox is tasty", but let me tell you, that is absolutely not the correct English translation. It is a crazy thing to say. No one would say this.

Duolingo recently has been like Answer: (It) (is) (now) (seven) (o) (clock) Duolingo: correct! But there is a typo in your answer: it is now seven o'clock gently caress off! You didn't GIVE me an apostrophe to tap on!

But there is a typo in your answer!" But translate something as "I am going practice piano and then eat dinner." and it'll be like "No. Wrong. You left out the word 'to'." Motherfucker, I am not here to learn English.

From watching my partner do the Japanese course it seems like some courses don't have speaking exercises, but for mandarin some of the tasks are to read and speak back a phrase, and they simply.... Didn't train the voice recognition on numbers. So phrases that are mostly numbers, like times, can never be successfully passed. Also, they dropped the discussion sections on answers because "reddit already exists" which is the worst excuse in the world lol

I stopped using Duolingo after it said my translation of "fire kyllinger" (I don't remember the whole sentence) to "4 chickens" was wrong (the right answer was "four chickens"  ). Basically the last straw.

YeahTubaMike posted:I stopped using Duolingo after it said my translation of "fire kyllinger" (I don't remember the whole sentence) to "4 chickens" was wrong (the right answer was "four chickens"  In English, you spell out numbers less than ten and write digits for numbers great than ten. I forget if you also spell out 10 or just put the digits.However I will concede the point that it shouldn't ding you for getting the English wrong. You're not there to learn English, drat it!

People say this and I wonder how it's possible. How do you ask someone if they want to learned English while you learn their language in a language you can't speak? I also am not sure how having someone type a bunch of words to me I don't understand will teach me a language. I'm not trying to be pithy I'm genuinely wondering how you do it.
