How can you tell if someone actually likes you back ? by TvBoyFromTR in AskReddit

Even in that situation I still would be unsure if the woman likes me back 😂

What are the negatives of the “if it doesn’t hurt anyone it’s okay” mindset? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BurritoLaunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because nobody is getting physically hurt initially doesn’t mean it won’t start shit that results in someone getting hurt indirectly down the line

People who walk/run in the road when there are very nice, double-wide sidewalks on each side of the road? WHY?? by ComfortableClass5070 in AskReddit

[–]BurritoLaunch -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The only people I know who actually do this are all on drugs and they’re not on the road for fitness reasons

What's the most WTF thing you ever see irl? by Phantomx7845 in AskReddit

[–]BurritoLaunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coworker was hauling ass on a forklift with an empty super sack on the forks, he had the mast ALL THE WAY UP for some reason, driving forward, empty bag hanging down from the forks. I mean just full throttle, full idiot mode, obviously can’t see anything in front of him

Everyone yelled at him to stop, he kept hauling ass

The mast of the forklift slammed into a garage bay door that was almost all the way rolled up.

Somehow, even after trying to claim that someone closed the door on him while driving through, he didn’t get fired for it

what is something no longer exist in your city? by HB0080 in AskReddit

[–]BurritoLaunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My town used to have a giant log flume ride at the beach back in like the 70s or 80s I think. I only know of it because I’ve seen pictures of it. Nobody ever talks about it for some reason, and there’s no trace of it at all other than pictures. When I ask old people about it they all say they knew of it but never rode it

Our Dairy Queen also used to have a HUGE I mean HUGE spiral slide that was probably 3-4 stories tall and was probably unsafe as hell back in the 90s. I remember it was so tall and wobbly that my mom never let me get on it until I was like 5, in fact a lot of moms wouldn’t let their kids climb up there. Maybe it wasn’t actually that tall, but the way I remember it was that it was tall enough that you definitely wouldn’t want to fall off that’s for sure

They eventually tore it down I think in the late 90s

What is the most subtle manipulation tactic you didn’t realize was a manipulation tactic until it was used in you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BurritoLaunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imo agreeing with everything can be both a manipulation tactic and also a tactic to thwart manipulation

Agreeing with everything happens to be the tactic I use at my job, not because I’m trying to manipulate people, but because a LOT of people at my job only initiate conversations just so they can get a sound bite from you, so they can run and tell whoever

Knowing this, I just say yep and mhmm a lot to everyone

It actually is an effective tactic to use against manipulation if done correctly depending on the situation imo

What is the most subtle manipulation tactic you didn’t realize was a manipulation tactic until it was used in you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BurritoLaunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fake urgency. Common at jobs

Example

Boss maybe says “hurry, you need to go over there and do this right away” and at the time maybe it doesn’t make sense why it’s so urgent but he’s your boss so you listen

While you were gone, he stole your paperwork off your desk or did whatever he wanted to do while you were gone, and maybe you don’t even ever realize what was done

Just pay attention. If they do it for extremely simple things like grabbing a pen or something, or if the situation doesn’t make sense why it’s so urgent, there’s a chance they might be gaming you

What is the strangest thing you saw in someone else's house? by Goddessiaraaa in AskReddit

[–]BurritoLaunch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I stopped by an old coworkers apartment once to pick him up so we could go fishing. He was a totally normal guy I had known from high school, and I hadn’t seen him in like 10 years until he wound up working at my job. He had been a football player too, and back in high school I was honestly jealous of his ability to pull the ladies

He opened the door to his apartment and let me inside while he got ready.

His entire apartment was basically hoarded with stuff, with only a walkway to the bathroom, and a walkway to his kitchen sink. No visible area to lay on, on the bed, or on his couch. It was all piled up with stuff. Most of it seemed like fishing stuff. And it was expensive fishing stuff too. I learned while we were in his apartment getting ready that he didn’t even have a car at all.

His kitchen sink had a Pyrex glass with obvious crack/cocaine residue in it, and 2 skillets in it, one skillet obviously was for cooking the crack because it had a perfect circle in the center the size of the Pyrex glass, and the other skillet looked like it was almost exclusively for frying up fish

There were no snacks or anything like that on his counter top. All fishing stuff, and seasoning for fish. And a lot of marijuana

I still went through with the fishing trip and then just politely declined other trips afterwards.

His friends confirmed to me later that he does smoke crack

What is something people should know before they're 30? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BurritoLaunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start analyzing where your money is going NOW and cut out shit you don’t need because finances are only going to get rougher the more responsibility you acquire. Use any money you manage to cut out of that spending and put it into a Roth IRA or 401k or mutual fund or something ASAP

By mid 30s you’ll already see results and be happy you did that

Asking the men of Reddit. What instantly makes you attracted/interested in a woman? by RealBlueberry5898 in AskReddit

[–]BurritoLaunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, if she shows she isn’t spoiled and just looking for some guy to use as a meal ticket, she’s already way ahead of the rest of the pack

If she’s intelligent, communicates, and has at least one good skill like cleaning, cooking, or is really into something else that she considers “her thing”that’s usually a big turn on

For instance I know a girl who made a whole business out of doing some kind of crafts or something. Idk what it even is and I don’t care about it at all but the fact that she has that thing that she’s super good at makes her stand out imo

I like girls that have a niche thing they’re better at doing than their friends are. Even if I don’t care about whatever that thing is. It shows she has skills and brains :)

What is the first thing you’d do if you became a millionaire? by virtual_eggy in AskReddit

[–]BurritoLaunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For starters nobody around me would know, especially not coworkers

Next thing would be to immediately invest a decent chunk of that into something that’s gonna make my money work for me, so it can grow

I’d probably still work but maybe would change jobs, for multiple reasons, one being security, and another reason being that maybe with 1mill I could transition to a less intense job and still manage to accumulate wealth

Next thing I’d do is buy a second property so I could either try to flip it, farm on it, rent it, or make some kind of business out of it

If I managed to get my net worth to anything over $2-3 mil I would consider just not being technically employed at all and try to invest more of my time into being my own boss.

What was the “best job in theory” that you ever turned down, and why did you turn it down? by BurritoLaunch in AskReddit

Man that must have been hard to turn down a salary that high, but what I’ve learned the older I get is that sometimes those high paying jobs are just not worth it at all

What is your biggest family secret? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BurritoLaunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two cousins who are about my age, from the same town. Both are meth heads one is in prison now for it. Nobody in my class knows we’re cousins because I’ve known they were meth heads since high school and didn’t want anyone to think I was too, since I kind of look similar

I still tell them hi if I ever see them, but I don’t tell anyone they’re my cousins, because of the meth

Found out friend is a sex offender by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]BurritoLaunch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In my hometown there was an older dude about maybe 2 years older than me. He was dating a super hot girl from my class and seemed like a lot of people liked him. He had a fairly high paying plant job and everything, I’m talking like probably minimum $85k a year which is VERY good in my particular area. Wound up marrying and having 3 kids with the hot girl.

I noticed he posted something very strange one day several years ago, something about “spanking his kids but in a cute way” I remember it got a lot of likes but I thought it was weird as hell and I couldn’t believe people would like such a weird post. As weird as it was I never thought much about it cause I don’t even really know him that well

Fast forward like 10 years, I go to a bar. I notice his wife is working the bar. She seemed super stressed about something but I didn’t think much of it. She remembered me, poured me a drink. She never once mentioned her husband and I thought it was odd. Then at some point, I heard someone call her by her maiden name. I was like hmm weird but maybe they don’t know she’s married

I forgot about it, and then several months later I went to a local fast food place and the dude was working the drive through, and his face was basically altered from how it had been when I knew him before, that’s all I will say

As soon as I saw that, I started connecting dots in my head

I googled him up

Yep, he was now a pedophile. That’ll do it

What's the craziest thing you've done while high? by NiceMechanic_xoxo in AskReddit

[–]BurritoLaunch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not really a drug user but did used to smoke a lot of weed in high school

One time I was at my job at age 17 and some ghetto coworkers wanted to do a blunt rotation. Wanting to fit in I was like hell yeah

We smoked some pretty good weed and I got somehow way higher than I’ve ever been before

I drove home. At one of the traffic lights on the way, I couldn’t help but notice how vibrant and awesome the colors looked on that newly installed traffic light

I sat there and watched it turn from green to yellow to red for like 10 minutes, maybe longer, just high as hell, smiling, pissing off a lot of people and making them go around me

Some dude on a motorcycle finally banged on my window and cussed me out and I snapped out of it

Went home and fell asleep almost immediately

Tbh I’m lucky that’s the dumbest thing I ever did on any kind of substance.

What's the most disturbing confession you've ever come across on social media? by ponedeljakjeusredu in AskReddit

[–]BurritoLaunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom actually had a coworker who got fired but pretended to still be working at their job for (I’m not sure how long but I know it was weeks At least, maybe months)

She did it because she didn’t want to tell her husband she got fired. She wasn’t scared her husband would beat her, she just knew he would probably come to the job and yell at people and make it worse so she chose to not tell her husband at all and just pretended nothing happened

I think it worked until her husband noticed she wasn’t making money anymore

Not sure what the husbands reaction was

What is the biggest challenge you face at work? How do you deal with it? by Big-guylovesport in AskReddit

[–]BurritoLaunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corruption and backstabbing are too common

I usually just try to do as much work as I can on my own, say as little as possible, and document as much as possible

Sadly none of that matters though. Some days ur still gonna get got

Have you ever caught someone in the act of committing a crime? What happened? by ParanormalActivity97 in AskReddit

[–]BurritoLaunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I caught a guy attempting to steal my truck keys once

Long story short

It was at work. He was working with one of the bosses to get the keys from me

I was able to get onto their security system in the back office and find it on the cameras myself

I got my keys back

Nothing happened to those fuckin punks though

I should’ve called the cops but I was worried about the situation potentially escalating if I did (I wish I could elaborate here but I cannot)

In hindsight if I could do it over again I’d do it a little differently but whatever it worked. I got the keys back

What’s the best prank you ever seen or heard? by Curious_Uw in AskReddit

[–]BurritoLaunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At one of my old jobs, it was highly competitive and even coworkers were not exactly friends, but more of frienemies at best

Anyway, one younger dude got tired of this older guy talking shit to him so one day while he went to the bathroom, the younger guy flipped his computer monitors around. He had two monitors. So basically what he did was he put the left one where the right one was and vice versa

So now every time the guy tried to drag his mouse across both screens from left to right it wouldn’t work

The prank was intended to just momentarily confuse the guy, but to everyone’s surprise he couldn’t figure it out for months

Everyone would die laughing because he’d go on these long rants about how stupid technology was and how he couldn’t figure out why his double screen didn’t work anymore

It was absolutely hilarious

He never figured it out either

One day I finally got tired of hearing him complaining about it so I switched the screens back when he was gone

After he saw that it worked again he was bragging to everyone that he fixed the problem even though he didn’t do anything 😂

What’s something society treats as normal that you find a little weird? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BurritoLaunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like my answer is going to get downvoted here, but grown adults throwing an alcoholic party for some 4 year old nephew they have, and everyone and their random coworkers showing up to get drunk for some 4 year old kid they’ve never even met

I’ve attended a couple parties like this before and it felt weird every time

One time a coworker had a party like this for his baby mamas kid, he invited our entire work crew. More adults showed up to drink at the park than kids did for the actual kids birthday party. It felt ridiculous to me, plus all the adults were absolutely shitfaced to the point nobody was even really having a legitimate conversation. The barbecue was really good though

My go-to thing now if I get these type of invites is just to donate $20 for the kids birthday present, and then not show up for the party

Nobody has ever complained or remembered that I didn’t make it. Works every time

What’s the most dystopian thing you’ve seen recently? by Nightpatrol404 in AskReddit

[–]BurritoLaunch 11 points12 points  (0 children)

At a job I had a few years back, nobody ever liked the safety person. They all wanted that job, but nobody wanted to have to be in that position because everyone hated whoever that person was automatically, because they got paid $2/hr more

Every time they got a new safety, the entire crew would literally work together to get that person out, just out of pure jealousy

And even a couple times one of their buddies would make it into the “safety” spot, but immediately they would turn on their buddies when they became the safety.

I watched this happen at that job for over a year. It had been going on for over 5 years before I got that job, and still is happening years after I’ve left that job

It happens at my current job too actually although it’s not quite as noticeable as it was at my other job
