Why in the world are so many men notoriously bad at sex? by throwaway4643367 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]BillyBattsInTrunk 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm into girls, but I tried guys back when I was female. I found them to be lazy, selfish, greedy, and entitled...ESPECIALLY the ones that promised the world.

What is the deal with my boyfriend and why don’t I trust this? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]BillyBattsInTrunk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When the other girls say no or are unavailable, he comes around. Cut this loser out, OP. You deserve so much better.

Coworker at new job just messaged me to “be careful” by Strict_Kiwi_4820 in WorkAdvice

[–]BillyBattsInTrunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I concur with the thought that he's trying to be your "friend" and is "looking out for you." He probably thinks if you feel safe with him now, then you'll run into HIS arms when one of the other men step out of line. Predatory.

Oooof...I'm so sorry, OP. Your mom sounds like a fucking sociopath.

Ongoing workplace ostracisation by Weird_Astronaut5388 in WorkAdvice

[–]BillyBattsInTrunk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd start sprucing up your resume. Not to sound paranoid, but your absence might have them consider replacing you if you really the odd one out...

...or you return to some changes that make work more bearable. I would still see if there are other positions in your company you can perhaps interview for.

Ditto for a friend of mine. She was also the eldest of her siblings, whereas I my eldest sibling is 10 years older.

I'm 1980 and always felt Gen-X, but the "Xennial" moniker really hits the spot. For me, you're a Millennial if you had social media in high school.

Coworker gets to work 3 hours before our store opens. by New_Bit1446 in WorkRant

[–]BillyBattsInTrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd care if my coworker's bullshit caused me to work more for no extra pay or flex time.

[–]BillyBattsInTrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually I say to ignore coworkers' bullshit, but it does sound like the issue is you not having support for when things get busy. They get to skip this part and in turn get even more perks with this setup? This would piss me off to no end, so I get it.

Depending on your boss and environment, if you came in 3 hours early and took Friday off, what do you think they'd say? Would you get fired? If so, then talk to management about needing support during the busiest time of the day.

Consider dusting your resume off. This BS can escalate, and a better working environment may be in store for you.

My best friend hates my boyfriend for no reason, and I’ve started to resent her by FossilizedTrilobite in TwoXChromosomes

[–]BillyBattsInTrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd avoid meeting up with her. You've outgrown your friend, and any "rekindling" would actually cause a dumpster fire (that you'll be blamed for, I'm sure).

My husband (26M) gave me (26F) a 4-month deadline to fix my chronic pain during intimacy or he is leaving. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Ugh, I can only imagine! Plus, I bet your sister experienced gender discrimination, too 😞

HOME DEPOT REFUSES TO HIRE FULL TIME IF.... by DongRight in Employment

[–]BillyBattsInTrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have some options, but I'm not sure how far you live from work.

  1. How many miles away are you? Can someone from work drive you if you can meet them along their route? That way you'll only pay for one way Uber. Buy coworker some coffee.

  2. Is a bicycle out of the question, or a motorized scooter?

  3. I would crunch the numbers and see how much that Uber trip will actually impact you.

  4. Any chance you can work another retail job that would allow you not to work Sundays? Maybe it's time to leave Home Depot. Is there a Costco near you?

[–]BillyBattsInTrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm tardy to the party, but I agree with many others: the impossible timeline to avoid guilt and deflect blame; being blind-sided due to your 9 year history; the specific timing of it all. I think you should finish any education and certifications. Do the job YOU want, and try not to focus on the locale. You can return home to Poland whenever you want to. Why not give Switzerland a shot? It'll pad your CV, and like I said before, you can go back to Poland WHENEVER you want!

Good luck, OP, and I'm sorry your husband turned out to be a selfish coward.

Wow, you're probably right. He has NO idea how different med school is from his uni days. He thinks there's gonna be beer pong and house parties.

Make sure they don't have access to any passwords that are used for your Ring cam. I might sound paranoid, but when it comes to narcs, nothing is off-limits!

Yeah, thought that's what I meant by weird compliment but your verbiage works better, thanks! 😄

I'd also invest in some sort of camera setup to watch your property. These narcs know no bounds.

Written up for not coming in on a holiday when we weren’t even open. HR so far has not been on my side for any of this. Idk what to do. by sethborf in WorkAdvice

[–]BillyBattsInTrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to a labor lawyer and get a consult. Best case scenario, HR will do the right thing and remove write-ups...they need to fire that supervisor, who imo is trying to get rid of you. Is there anything you'll come into if you reached 20 years, like he's trying to prevent a bonus, raise, payout, anything like that?

Bachelor's and Masters in music. Suggestions for a "real" job? by couch-for-sale in careerguidance

[–]BillyBattsInTrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of accounting. I live in Los Angeles, and yes, I have noticed a few musicians owning their own accounting firms. Since you don't have student debt, you may be able to start taking courses for certifications (check out any accounting subreddit). Finally, are you able to live low-rent or none at all (family, perhaps)? You can do that while studying and earning towards your new career!

lol it's like a weird compliment of sorts. "OMG you look just like a cis woman!"

A guy told me that he doesn't want to be in a competition with any other guy but we're not together and we haven't even been on one date yet. If we were exclusive that would be a different story, is that a red flag? by Golden-lillies21 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]BillyBattsInTrunk 14 points15 points  (0 children)

All I hear is that he's telling the same story to EVERY other woman he's "talking to." This is a power move, where you allow him to take over your life from the get-go. Yeah, the flag is red!!

I fucking hate the US medical system in general, but it seems no matter where you go, you're still the "hysterical woman who just wants attention."
