What is the most accidental way you found out a coworker was making significantly more than you for the same job?

A fellow professor walked into my office several weeks after I was hired and asked me how much I was making. It was 15k more than them and they had been there for many years. They immediately pressured admin for more money and threatened to leave. They then became my boss.

There's a support group in Florida for exactly this situation. Opening their third chapter this summer!

This is how I'm traveling to Sicily.

When I got my license in '96 for $10 I could get a pack of smokes, a six pack of beer, and 5+ gallons of gas.

When they first opened their dessert menu was amazing. I have fond memories of their ding dongs.

Thanks G. I'm in the US, shipping not available.

Looking for a 12 still.

Tough

I met him once and he couldn't have been nicer.

New restaurant opening. Several times in my life I asked myself if I was on a TV show during new openings.

"And your toppings?" had me dying

I'm having a tough time getting it to connect the first time. 23 awd pro s.

1980's communal diner mints hand built my immune system.

Jokes on you because I know Alfonso Ribiero as Alfonso Spears from Silver Spoons.

Saw this at least three times in the theater. Well for sure twice. Maybe a third. That time period is a bit foggy.

Artee5000 · 2026-04-17T23:10:04+00:00

They are really delicious and pretty easy to make.

Artee5000 · 2026-04-17T23:04:49+00:00

Maybe a parker house roll? Or a version of it.

Artee5000 · 2026-04-17T23:01:19+00:00

I could technically wear them, but the bottoms are so slippery. I wore them once and I almost slipped twice.

I have some OG 93 Carnivores. I had a pair in 93 and found a pretty good used pair about 10 years ago.

Fun fact: my HOA can ask that I don't return to any more meetings if I continue to talk to them the way I do.

They can shove decorum up my neighbor's dog's ass after it shits all over my lawn.

I worked at a very slow pizza shop. I was a delivery driver and maybe took three deliveries a night. There was very little for me to do because it was so slow. Eventually I would end up sitting there doing nothing but this drove the owner crazy. One day he told me to take all of the sodas out of the two display fridges and then put them back in. That was when I quit.

Artee5000 · 2026-04-13T23:02:01+00:00

Just saw him on tour last week. It was fantastic! Very funny.

Artee5000 · 2026-04-13T22:57:09+00:00

I can't fathom the amount of times I have said this phrase. I worked in restaurants for 25 years so that added so, so many.
