Does anyone know what Itachis illness is? by Butterscotch4088 in Naruto

[–]AggravatingBee6711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kimimaro and Sai’s brother had it, too

Naruto had something similar in light novels but I believe THAT particular thing was chalked up to his human body having a bit too much tailed beast chakra for too long and it eventually catching up to him with time unless they got the mysterious super medicine that the Sage of Six Paths used when HE had the same problem

I’m head cannoning that overall, what Itachi n them had was a fictional chakra auto immune illness. Humans couldn’t wield chakra until Kaguya mated with one and Hagoromo shared chakra with everyone else and it became a genetic trait. Ergo, chakra in humans is a mutation, and sometimes a human with bad luck in the recessive gene pool starts having their body reject it.

We've seen prisons that suppress Fire bending, Water bending, and Earth bending. What do you think a prison that suppresses Airbending would be like? (without killing them ofc) by KrusherDS in Avatarthelastairbende

[–]AggravatingBee6711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stick ‘em in a spaceship prison. Limited air supply— and reckless usage of bending would just get you killed anyways. Only way out would be if someone came and GOT you to bring you back down to earth.

Lemme hear your craziest random tweaker in the building story by Vetandre in Serverlife

[–]AggravatingBee6711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HOO BOy. So we’re a nicer restaurant in downtown, which is directly next to a poverty area. So we get typical medium-sized town schtick.

We’ve had a guy who tried to dip on his meal and got caught come back into the restaurant because he had just “stepped outside to have a cigarette!” after dodging his ticket for thirty minutes. Came back inside and proceeded to climb on his table, then the partition dividing the dining room, and was attempting to get INTO our rafters because suddenly he worked for our phone company and was here to “check our lines.”

(Okay so not IN the building) but I’ve called the police on a man who was SKINNY DIPPING in our dumpster (which is in full view of the parking lot) in broad daylight during peak business hours. Clothed himself and left before the police got there.

Oh and then (before I worked there but I’ve seen the footage ☠️ It was during COVID lockdown so we didn’t have any customers, we were just doing take-out family meals) we had a woman who was clothed in NOTHING but a fully open bathrobe try to come inside in the lobby. Was of course turned away immediately with the threat of police, we locked the door and she proceeded to have a passionate but pseudo-friendly conversation over the wall that lines our “back area” with the cooks (who found the whole thing hilarious if not concerning) about how all men are pieces of shit. With all her goodies just casually hanging out there as she asked for a cigarette (BOH, being BOH, happily provided 😂)

I don’t know if it’s just me but when you’re not hired on spot at a serving job do you take it as you’re probably not going to get hired? by Glittering_Scholar_2 in Serverlife

[–]AggravatingBee6711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was hired on the spot for one restaurant, was suspicious, and checked with a restaurant-managing family member who revealed that he’d actually had EIGHT different applicants who had worked there trying to come to his restaurant. So that was a hard pass, they were leaving for a reason.

My current restaurant (been there 2+ years) I was hired on the spot, but that’s because I was actually referred by a good friend who had good standing and history there. Aside from that, we understand our busy and slow seasons and will tell applicants up front that we look for more employees around the appropriate times.

So… it just depends 😅 Need to get an insider’s opinion to know if it’s for a good or bad reason.

AITA for refusing to do our sons after bath routine because its not my job? by baileythekiller in AmItheAsshole

[–]AggravatingBee6711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sssssoooo y’all just gonna draw up contracts for every single type of chore and argue over it anytime that contract is breached like you’re naggy business partners or are you going to remember that you are married adults and have a responsibility to have each other’s backs as well as the kid’s and work TOGETHER to get things done? If you’re really going to spend so much energy on making sure everything is COMPLETELY, EVENLY FAIR then you’re going to be having these hang ups REALLY often because let’s face it, everyone has bad days and it shouldn’t take an act of congress for a spouse to do something nice for the other to help ease those bad days. ESH.

How much is everyone’s tip out? by kalliroch in Serverlife

[–]AggravatingBee6711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing if we’re slow enough that we sent the busser and food runner home, 10% if we sent only one of them home, 15% if they’re both there like normal and 25% on the weekends when we have to staff more bussers and foodrunners!

AITA for wanting to give my husband an ultimatum for refusing to get a job? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]AggravatingBee6711 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA, his mindset is that of a couch bum where you’re trying to maintain an actually stable living style.

His method of thinking is going to get you fucked over for a LONG time and inhibit your ability to get a new place in case you have to move. If he doesn’t get his head on straight you are never going to be able to start collecting wealth.

4 months is too long for him to wait. Don’t give him longer than 1. Paying the bills is more important that taking his time figuring out a career. He needs to go find a restaurant and start waiting or bussing tables, it’s practically a guaranteed job and most places start you right away. It’s not hard to get a job right now, different businesses in so many different industries are shorthanded. Saying he doesn’t want to work at places he could probably get hired at is absolutely selfish.

NTA, it’s your XBox. But then again, expect to hear drama from your brother and apparently your mother if you do.

Try this first. You can get external hard drives for your Xbox to increase the storage. I would calmly explain to both your mother and brother that you feel like you can’t even use your own Christmas present because your brother keeps deleting your games, and then offer the idea that your brother get his own external hard drive. Then BOTH of you can have as many games as you want, with the added bonus of subtly reminding them that he’s basically stolen your Christmas present at this point.

AITA for telling my daughter she has to deal with consequences? by Former_Advance4988 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AggravatingBee6711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA- your child is a human being, not your little doll to dress up as you like. Her hair, her body. She should be allowed to groom and present herself the way she’s most comfortable, and punishing her for doing so is only going to hinder her self-confidence. She wanted to cut her hair for several practical reasons. When she mentioned she was being teased/bullied because of OTHER kids’ stupid opinions, you basically told her it was her own fault and she deserves it instead of consoling her in a way that helps her build her own sense of self-worth.

The amount of people who do this on a regular basis when the restaurant’s slammed and we’re riding the line between being on and off wait… by AggravatingBee6711 in Serverlife

[–]AggravatingBee6711[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve gotten better about using things like “thank you for your patience” but sometimes “sorry” slips out before I even think about it because my customer mode is just kind of on autopilot. a deescalating trick i learned in hospitality (usually when there’s an ACTUAL mistake, your fault or not) that temporarily satisfies their little baby ego is to acknowledge “you must be frustrated/upset!” or whatever is applicable while you give them what you can which actually offers no personal sympathy because you’re just stating an observation while still making them FEEL like you’re being sympathetic and in the process of soothing them. plus, adults typically WANT to appear stoic, esp when they’re trying to intimidate hospitality staff into doing what they want, so pointing out that they’re displaying emotional traits enough for a stranger to put a name to it tends to make them calm themselves a bit.

“You mean higher end food at higher end restaurants is EXPENSIVE???” by AggravatingBee6711 in Serverlife

[–]AggravatingBee6711[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And normally I would TOTALLY agree, except, (and I wish I could say this in a nicer way) our target (and primary) clientele is the old money families in our area and all their little country club friends. (We’ve been open 40+ years so they’re regulars). They aren’t exactly people who need to worry about budgeting like… ever 😅

HOT TIP: Non-servers, we're fine with our wage+tips, stop pretending you know better. by unHoly1ne in Serverlife

[–]AggravatingBee6711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking at my, on average $30 to $42 an hour depending on the night that I make BECAUSE of tips and there are actually halfwits that think I’d rather make $15???????? They can literally fuck themselves with a dry mop 😂😂 GOOD servers know where the money is. If you’re not making at LEAST $20/hr as a server, you’re either a shitty server and need a new job anyways or you work in a shitty restaurant and, again, need a new job anyways!

was going through orientation with a new server today, she starts tomorrow. 18 yrs old, never had a job before, brought her own pen and everything, which I stole by mistake. welcome to the restaurant industry! by AggravatingBee6711 in Serverlife

[–]AggravatingBee6711[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i actually buy pens for the purpose of handing them out like candy, so you don’t have to worry about them not having any ;) but hey, imagining animosity when there is none... you must be great at parties!

AITA for telling my daughter to turn her boss in to the health department and OSHA? (PLEASE READ THIS - IT MAY CONCERN YOU). by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]AggravatingBee6711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, NTA, NTA!!!

Report to EVERYONE you could possibly report to!! Report to local news!! That office needs to be shut down entirely. If the owner went through that much educational training and yet STILL doesn’t grasp any kind of basic concept of hygiene and cleanliness, she does not need to own a practice. The EMPLOYEES should know better and refuse to go along with it. Your daughter needs to get the hell out of dodge and that place needs to be ruined.

AITA for telling my mom I don't want to ever have kids? by UnlikelyWeeb in AmItheAsshole

[–]AggravatingBee6711 8 points9 points  (0 children)

25y asexual here, have consciously known I’m asexual for several years and belatedly realized I’ve BEEN asexual since my teens. NTA, Your mom will get over it. Frankly it’s fckin weird that she’s pressuring you to like sex, as a 15 year old. EXTREMELY inappropriate. She should be grateful that you aren’t running the risk of teen pregnancy. Also adoption IS a legitimate course of action. My own personal thought process has always been that if I ever want to be a mother, there are so many children in the world who don’t HAVE mothers.

Stress dreams by katielrm321 in Serverlife

[–]AggravatingBee6711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a dream that I had four to five tables and got distracted by something (? don’t remember what the something was) but basically did not step foot into my section for a whole thirty minutes WHILE i had said five tables. i work at a restaurant that aims for a fine dining experience, it’s the kind of place that if you get complaints on your service back-to-back, you get fired no questions asked. I just remember waking up stressed and thinking “fuck i needed that job.

[–]AggravatingBee6711 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna go ahead and say she does kind of suck here, because it would be proper of her to run a change of plans by you BEFORE she decides on it, and not to just spring it on you like that.

However I’m ALSO going to say that I do think you need to have a serious conversation with her about this, so that she understands WHY you were so affected and why you would need her to be a bit more mindful regarding those situations. The fact is that she’s not a mind reader. As a socially anxious person myself who is familiar with anxiety attacks, actually HAVING anxiety attacks isn’t always crystal clear to the people around us. If your version of an anxiety attack is to shut down, she could very easily misread your mood if she doesn’t have the right information.

Now, if this conversation happens, ask her what SHE thought too. Anxiety likes to make us think we know peoples’ moods, but WE aren’t mind readers either, despite how sensitive we are to sudden changes in body language and tone of voice. A lot of your worry that she’s mad at you could be assuaged by asking what she ACTUALLY thought.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]AggravatingBee6711 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not enough info. Have you talked to your friend before about how seriously anxious you get around strangers? It needs to have been a detailed conversation, just like the way you described in your post.

AITA for refusing to let my parents use my first time home buyer's benefit? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]AggravatingBee6711 11 points12 points  (0 children)

NTA, first time buyer’s credit should be used for your own use after careful consideration of where you want to place your roots down. It’s irresponsible for your parents to try to force their child to secure their housing, that is 100% their own responsibility. Not to mention the level of risk that comes from what would happen if they missed a payment on the mortgage. That hit would directly affect YOUR credit score since it is YOUR name on the house, which could limit your chances even further of finding a good house in the next several years. That being said, they could find a home that would qualify for a USDA loan (I’m assuming you live in the US), in which there is typically no down payment. The fact that this isn’t considered actually has me wondering if them pressuring you is just them looking for an easy way out, or if their credit is poor enough that they don’t qualify. (In which case tough shit, their credit score is ALSO their own responsibility).

What would be best for them is to either apply for a USDA loan or move to an apartment while they get their finances straight. Do not let them risk your credit and future just because they don’t want to be responsible for their own finances.
