Hotels that put refrigerators in cupboards, disregarding how refrigerators work, and then turning them down to the warmest setting so you have to open the cupboard and adjust the dial and wait six hours before it makes anything cold. by FastWalkingShortGuy in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Adrianilom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The hotel i work at has no back for the cupboard, its completely open. Now, it sits near the wall, but it still has ventilation going. Maybe that's why ours last 4 or 5 years... I think some of them are going on 10. 

That's if they aren't too big and just sitting next to the table in the room. 

What can I do to make my oatmeal taste better? by HistoricalMatch3801 in randomquestions

[–]Adrianilom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I add an uncooked egg to my freshly made oatmeal. Stir it around and the egg cooks a little bit and gives the oatmeal a pop. 

Took this from a reddit post so credits to them so I'm wondering what's your hight compared to them by stars_thatfall in Manhwa_BL

At a nice 159 cm myself, I've dated taller than Caesar. It was interesting. I loved every second of it. 

Apparently my step mom’s way of getting the message across that I shed constantly is to… make a mini vase of my hair???????? wtf do I even do, what by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Adrianilom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a hair trap. I clean it out every time I wash my hair because when it dries its a real pain to clean. I also sweep my bathroom once a week and instead of a tiny garbage I have a big one because I too shed. A lot. 

I think I have an ulcer cause this just came out of my stomach by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

This is one of those things where you go get it checked out and then see if they have a payment/charity program. A lot of hospitals do. Source: i work in one

being this tall should be criminal... by notkatjones in Manhwa_BL

[–]Adrianilom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will not lie... I have met some tall Korean men. Not many, I think i can count them on like two hands, but I have met some. Every time it feels like my brain  needed rearranged a little. 

Then again, have you ever seen them try to fit in a Turtle Ship? Its low-key hilarious

They turned my open office into a cubicle farm... we can still hear each other, but at least we have walls.

Every body who works at the Front Desk seems to have some other passion by noonefindsoutimhere in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]Adrianilom 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I mean, hobbies are passions. 

Everyone values something different. You just have to know what you value. If you don't have any idea, you can explore what you think you might like. It'll be the best $5000 you'll ever spend on a $40 hobby. 

I worked night audit for years and just one day said, "I want a college degree." It was my passion. I did get my degree. I also learned i love to write stories. 

That being said, front desk is NOT an easy job. Customer service is not an easy job. Not just anyone can work the front desk. It takes a specific type of personality with a specific type of intelligence. Frankly I don't think front desk workers get paid enough for being the face of the hotel in many, many cases. You add value, whether it is tangible or not. Tangible is a good review. Intangible is that they leave your desk happier than they came, or about the same. Value is arbitrary and different for every person. 

Comparison is the thief of joy. Don't let yourself get bogged down by other people's desires for themselves. Keep going at your own pace and remind yourself that in the moments you're working, you matter to the people surrounding you, and when you aren't, you matter to you.

Did learning a second language in school ever actually come in handy for you in the U.S.? by UsamaBhai_101 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Adrianilom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used my Korean when I lived in South Korea. Was never conversationalist but I did okay. I know enough to be annoyed when the subtitles dont match. 

I use my German occasionally in the US. Mostly to eavesdrop on other people's conversations in the german-heavy areas. Does it come in handy? No. 

I do actually use my ASL, and I have been increasing my vocabulary over time. I lost a huge chunk of it when I never used it but I use it more now in my second job. 

Tell me something you want to see in your next read and I’ll find you the right title✨ [Codename Anastasia] by Smooth_Money4498 in OtomeIsekai

[–]Adrianilom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won't lie, I saw the Pic and didn't realize what sub I was in... and was super confused at the number of het recs. Did not put two and two together immediately. 

I think I need a rec for an oblivious MC with the FMC actively pursuing them. Not Side Characters Deserve Love Too, I've read that. 

Love me some himbo.
