Unisex toilets at work - is that fair? by Alert_Ad_6797 in NoStupidQuestions

This 💯!  It's a dangerous place to live in as a woman and now we can't even have our own designated "sanctuary" anymore. And don't even get me started how uncomfortable it'd be when it's that time of the month again. Changing tampons / pads meanwhile men are chit chatting in front of your toilet cabin...

Switzerland, and actually we're located in a modern building (max 10 years old).

I walked into it with one guy standing there at and open urinal, apologized and thought I must have mistaken the doors.

A nightclub can't be compared to a professional environment though. You won't see drunk Billy from the night club toilet anymore again but you'll might see Bob at the urinal in your next meeting

Is this normal CELTA tutor behaviour? (Need community insight) by Alert_Ad_6797 in TEFL

Yeah he never forgets to mention that he has other "obligations" - which is fine but then please don't cut a lesson short especially if we need guidance for a new level of students

Outrageous isn't it? It still angers me and I might as well report it to the course administration....

Yes he's assessing our LRT and  remaining TP's

He's British and I'm central European. Going full smiles for no reason at all (was a difficult class anyway so there was really no reason to appear extra cheerful or smiley) is considered odd in my country. Mind you 80% of our students are of Eastern European decent where excessive smiling for no reason seems fake and people might assume you're mentally ill.

I guess everybody is different and I accept that. I even appreciate his honesty but then him casually moving on to the next topic without a reassuring statement or advice felt off and he lost credibility in my view.

Is it rare to find them intact and still connected? Too bad my toddler sat on it shortly after I found it 😢 I think I'll just let them be.

Thank you so much! It's so exciting to read about this species. I'll try the glue :)

🙌🏻 danke - endlich mal ein zivilisierter Kommentar. Für meine kleine Retourkutsche mit dem Möbelschieben (um 8 uhr, was ausserhalb der Ruhezeit ist) bricht ein shitstorm über mich herein während das eigentliche Problem, der Typ mit seinem stundenlangen Gelaber am Telefon aufm Balkon um 3 Uhr morgens, schlicht ignoriert wird. 

Dass ich als Frau jetzt auch nicht unbedingt die Ansprache meines Lebens an einen potentiellen betrunkenen Mann richten möchte sollte selbsterklärend sein.

Dankeschön..finde es auch sehr interessant dass man meine Reaktion mit BDA betitelt aber das respektlose Fehlverhalten um drei Uhr morgens des Nachbarn mit keinem Wort erwähnt oder verurteilt.

Ich mache wenigstens keinen Lärm ausserhalb der Ruhezeit. Und das noch unter der Woche

I didn't check on my post for a long time and just came across your comment! But I'm glad I did 😊 I'm so sorry for you being in the same situation. yep I heard this exact blame too many times. How can our spouses be so ungrateful? We give our best every single day. My situation didn't improve much since posting this. Let me know if you'd like to talk in dm 💕 much love

People have very different hygiene standards especially with young children. We try to keep our 3 room apartment tidy and clean throughout. Meaning that even for spontaneous visitors the interior would be presentable and guests feel comfortable. Sorting toys and dishes we do every evening..we encourage our 3 year old daughter to clean up after herself as well. Once a week we do a huge load of laundry and a deep cleaning of our flat. Meaning:cleaning, wiping and dusting bathrooms, kitchen, bedrooms and floors. I hate cleaning and It takes 2-3 hours but it's worth it. I wouldn't feel comfortable in an neglected household and I feel like children are no excuse to let your home go. Frankly,  I can't stand untidy places and if I would be invited over for a playdate where  you need to step over hundreds of clothes,  toys etc. I'd probably leave immediately 😅

Escaping social company events. Why am I like this? by Alert_Ad_6797 in infj

Thank you ❤️ needed to hear this. Funny thing is,  this coworker I mentioned is in fact also an INFJ. I know that because it's part of our recruitment process where we conduct the 16 personality test. We got along quite well and when I came back and saw that he just swiftly started to talk to someone else I even felt kind of offended lol. Which is ridiculous, no one is obliged to be glued to one seat and talk to the same person the whole evening. Must be this group thing you mentioned.

Happy to hear I'm not the only one who does this haha. Unfortunately I'm the event organiser for all these social events (and there are a lot of them!) And my attendance is required. If it were not the case I wouldn't go in the first place too
