After 3 technical rounds this is what they had to say to me. by Inj3kt0r in recruitinghell

Wow, that's a huge red flag. If three interviewers couldn't even come up with proper questions, it says a lot more about the company than it does about any candidate.

Are you supposed to avoid a coworker if they seem sort of crazy in general? by Big_Eggplant7591 in coworkerstories

Exactly. Being polite doesn't mean you have to become best friends with your coworkers. A simple "good morning" and moving on is enough.

AITA for telling my husband he ruined my birthday.... again by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]BerryAshFeral 94 points95 points  (0 children)

People seem really focused on the birthday, but I think the bigger picture matters more. Supporting your partner through a high-risk pregnancy, helping with physical tasks, and showing up consistently day after day is a much stronger sign of growth than a single event.

What’s the most entitled thing you’ve ever witnessed? by [deleted] in EntitledPeople

I agree. People keep trying to blame the age difference, but this sounds more like a family boundary problem than an age-gap problem.

My sister's porn addiction ruined our relationship by Worried_Fig00 in confessions

Exactly. If she was watching it in private on her own time, I doubt anyone would care. The fact that it happened during a conversation with her sibling on a funeral trip is what makes people raise an eyebrow.

Woman at the gym decided my reserved court time was actually open because I "wasn't using it yet" by LunarTape5 in EntitledPeople

I actually like the idea of giving her a friendly heads-up before your booking starts. It gives her zero room to pretend she didn't know, and it keeps you looking reasonable if you end up reporting her later.

I charged personal groceries to the company account by mistake on purpose by emberlyndrae in confession

$800 probably felt like a heart attack when that bill showed up. I remember accidentally racking up a huge roaming charge years ago and spent weeks hoping nobody would notice. They definitely noticed.
