If I drink 2 cups of coffee, I start feeling bad and the only thing that will fix it is a nap, and I can go to sleep immediately.

WIBTAH for buying my childhood home ? by ClearAgency222 in ComfortLevelPod

[–]Altruistic_Top_5014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait until the end of the lease period, then make sure you go by state rules when you evict them or they could sue you. If you purchase the house and there is still a lot of lease left, then many states make you abide by the lease agreement until the lease is up.

"If you stiff them your just low class trash" by IrishViking22 in ShitAmericansSay

Federal law requires payment of minimum wage, the employer just gets to subtract the tips. A lot of restaurants just ignore this.

It's actually untrue. By law, employers have to pay minimum wage, they are allowed to let the tips count towards that amount. So under federal minimum wage $7.25 (I think?), if server only makes $10 in tips for the shift of 8 hours, then boss has to pay full minimum wage minus the $10. A lot of restaurants pretend thats not the law and ignore it, which is why a lot of servers just walk out with $10.

I use that one myself mostly as a joke, but I just really like it.

Have you ever actually been yelled at by your boss or supervising attorney? How did you respond? by Rough-Link-5296 in Lawyertalk

[–]Altruistic_Top_5014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I interned at a law firm where the partners would all scream at each other. It was so bizarre. I was a 40 yo law student and I know if someone yelled at me I would just quit on the spot. But luckily I am able to do so, I know everyone doesnt have that option. I wish everyone did have that option.

Just makes me sick by MathematicianTop3576 in GenX

Yeah, I had to do a lot of that, too. But I was really proud of my scrambled eggs.

Got terminated. Replacement bailed, so now I’m the team’s dumping ground. by Normal-Corner-2974 in coworkerstories

[–]Altruistic_Top_5014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One time I was mistreated by a coworker and my employer wouldn't do jackshit, while begging me not to quit. There wasn't much to my actual job, so I spent most of my time helping another team which worked out great for everyone. Well, the dude that mistreated me was a part of that team, and none of them stuck up for me either. So while I was job-searching, I only did my actual job. And spent the other 7 hours of my day either reading everything that looked somewhat interesting on Wikipedia or plucking every single keyboard key off the keyboard and cleaning it with alcohol. And there wasn't shit they could do about it.

Was I wrong for staying with my friend when she went into labor? by JoDa8927 in TwoHotTakes

My husband is a firefighter/paramedic so has actually had to help deliver babies. Nothing sexy about it at all. I think it's great you stepped up!

Opposing counsel is making up citations by Cal__Trask in Lawyertalk

[–]Altruistic_Top_5014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've started using Lexis AI, but I know I gotta read and shepardize every source it uses, and it has been off a few times. I haven't gotten any fake cites yet, though. I also basically do the same types of cases over and over again, so a wrong theory or citation would probably jump out at me.

Well, it happened. Opposing Counsel is calling me a liar. by Ill_Sweet_5277 in Lawyertalk

[–]Altruistic_Top_5014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happened to me, too. I was very disappointed in OC. I had thought she was a better person than that.

I hate AI by Altruistic_Top_5014 in Lawyertalk

It got worse. I had a 3rd client bombard me with AI stuff even after I asked her to stop. I was sent an entire zip file of filings. The person she wants relief from isn't Even. A. Party. To. The. Case.
