Then tie off the bag and take out the garbage. No biggie. But if I were at home, I'd hop in the shower.

Honestly, if they're going to stay together and have kids (and they shouldn't) then they need to GTFO the bay area if he can't get a better job than that.

But it's pounds sterling so we are talking about 31k USD to 38K USD, which in the US would be going from slowly sinking below the water to just barely a livable wage for a working-class family. When you factor in he doesn't have to pay for healthcare or insurance, it's a decent living for such a moron.

But you probably have to not be (that much of) a loser to start with. My favorite job ever was janitizing my college's student union. I knew what to do and could do it really well. If someone told me to improve, I knew how to do that and it was fully within my control to do so. Easy peasy. If I was only taking care of myself then I might go do that, but I have a wife and children. Unfortunately they won't pay me what I make playing with other people's money to mop floors and clean toilets.

CannonFodder posted:Mopping floors and cleaning toilets can turn into better jobs. He could have moved up to management of people mopping floors or gone into plumbing so he gets paid $$$ to install and fix toilets or made some diagonal moves and mop and clean toilets somewhere else that pays better. The OP and layabout boyfriend live in California, if all he could do was mop floors and clean toilets he could be a school janitor he would likely be unionized and getting paid way better than minimum wage. But the whole problem is he gives absolutely no effort into anything at all. Yeah, the dude is totally worthless, I agree there. I can just see where someone might think that their partner might mature into better jobs over time, and also why it might take starting a family to kick someone into high gear. It sounds like this guy matured into getting a minimum wage, dead end job and is content with that. In addition, he does not seem to appreciate that she is footing the bill for everything, and still thinks of the money from his job as "his money," despite the fact that she pays all the bills and buys their food. She should have dumped him years ago.

The Lone Badger posted:Have we discussed this person that is being PERSECUTED by the police? From some of this person's other posts it sounds like they were sober for a while, and that at least part of the drinking seems to be an attempt at self-medication to cope with nightmares from what happened. They need professional help in a big way, and frankly it would be safer for everyone, them included, if their license was revoked ASAP.

I don't follow all of the UK legal jargon, but by their own admission, they were blasted off their rear end drunk driving at 5x the legal limit when they mowed down someone in a crosswalk and killed her. Now their vehicle was caught speeding by a speed camera and they're refusing to tell the cops who was behind the wheel, so we can safely assume it was a.) them, and b.) they were quite likely driving drunk again. They need both professional help and to be behind bars.

This morning in 'You had to ask the Internet for help on this?!' Me [29/M] and my [24/F] girlfriend are having difficulties setting fart boundaries quote:My girlfriend and I have been together for 3 beautiful years in a very nourishing relationship. However, one thing that has become clear in recent months is that we have different fart boundaries. My wife [F30] mentions to me [M32] that she’s “planning on shaving”, does that mean sex? quote:We don’t have sex that often ever since we had our kid. I’m out of the loop as to what the signs are.

If it was $5k per month, that would put him up around the quarter million a year mark. Which sounds more likely given how oblivious he sounds. I can't find the original through google though, so he probably deleted it in shame. jk, people like him don't feel shame.

"It's my fault I'm still driving drunk! I have to drink to self-medicate because of PTSD I have from killing a woman while driving drunk! Why do the cops have to persecute me!"  He posted AGAIN in r/policeUK the about how unfair it is that the police are being so insistent he tells them who committed the moving violation in his car. The only post he has that isn't complaining about how unfair it that he's getting scrutiny from the and cops after killing a person was made hours after he got called out for acting like PTSD from killing someone means the cops should leave him alone about his moving violations. Not disagreeing with you, he needs help, but I do question his remorse.

lot going on in this one Am I (f/38) right to be upset with my sister (F/25) who got my OCD BF (m/24) a ATP bacterial meter on his birthday? quote:BG: Been together for 3 years, and he's been recently diagnosed with OCD. I've seen him develop symptoms before my eyes, it wasn't easy when he was diagnosed, but it feel comforting that it can be controlled, and I've vented to my sister about how it has affected me. comments quote:Omg. Looked it up.1500$ or more. Your sister might be next level crazy. Worst gift ever. quote:Not that this addresses deeper issue with your boyfriend and his concerns about his OCD, but ATP meters do NOT measure bacterial specifically. They are designed to only measure Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the molecule that basically powers all life at the cellular level and would 100% be present in food and on any surfaces that contained harmful (pathogenic bacteria) or benign (non-pathogenic bacteria, dead bacteria, food etc.) quote:100% this. They're supposed to be used in clean rooms for manufacturing and other sterile environments. Using one in the real world is crazy, because it will pick up something EVERYWHERE. quote:Why did you start dating a 21-year-old at age 35, and more importantly, why is basically nobody talking about this??

I just frequently get comments from other women, including my father-in-law’s girlfriend, asking to borrow my friend when it’s mentioned how much he cooks, cleans and fixes things for us. He actually has coworkers that keep trying to set him up and he begrudgingly agreed to a blind double date with the coworker, coworker’s girlfriend and their single friend. He’s not interested in dating right now though, so he’s just going to be polite.

Not only is the meter $1500, the one-time-use test swabs are over $2/each in bulk.13Pandora13 posted:I know "emotional labor" as a phrase elicits eyerolling these days but that is 100% that guy's problem. And I guarantee if his GF hand-held him though not being an inconsiderate shitbag at every possible moment he'd be complaining about her nagging him to do stuff all the time. I don't consider "basic socialization" of the type this guy is missing to be "emotional labor". It's just the kind of thing a normal person does, and feels neutral to good about it. Not like they've been "working".

"emotional labor" is actually a fairly specific idea that's still developing but encapsulates things like 1) maintaining friendships with other couples 2) remembering birthdays and grocery inventory 3) basically just managing a home vizier-style while your regulus is off converting heathens or what have you. basically, energy you expend thinking about other people or your place in society. it's work, because it needs effort put into it. now, you and i know that work is only real work when it's a man carrying something from a shelf to a forklift (or vice versa) but let's just pretend, in this instance.
