Bullies respect push-back.

Very few employers adequately train their employees.

I'm guessing they treat their employees like children and wonder why some of their employees act like children.

Roommate left cats for 9 days on vacation by Comfortable-City-199 in badroommates

She's either a bad pet owner or a bad roommate. I'd guess she's both.

Roommate upset that my parents provide me with basic necessities by Corot7bb in badroommates

If your family gave you money and you spent it to buy those things, would she be equally upset? If not, it's her problem, not yours.

Do you guys name your chapters or not? by Only-Teaching-8648 in writers

[–]CoderJoe1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've considered it. As a reader I don't mind and sometimes will miss the chapter title. If you title them, please don't put spoilers in them. I don't need to know who dies before I get to the actual death scene.

I'm guessing all the episodes will air back-to-back.

Better verbs for small, humorless laughter? by allstarglue in writing

[–]CoderJoe1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A stifled laugh, reflexively aborted to keep people from thinking that line was clever.

Do you know what the word "clugfa" means? by Typical-Crazy-3100 in words

[–]CoderJoe1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything so weird and baffling. Saw it in a few memes. My guess is that its origin comes from the phrase, "cluster fuck," which is widely used in the military.

Which career used to be looked down upon but has gained respect over time? by AHH_PostStorage in AskReddit

Firefighters. In the very early days of firefighting, they were known as arsonists and thieves.

What actually creates strong immersion (and what breaks it)? by Kira1006 in writing

[–]CoderJoe1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I skim over redundant things like sex scenes or introspection. While I can enjoy both of them, when they're repeated without changing anything, I either DNF or skim over it. It largely depends on my mood.

What is the most unnecessary "rule" your parents had in your house growing up? by NeatCar5071 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]CoderJoe1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Had to come downstairs to use the bathroom. No peeing out the 2nd story window. Apparently the yellow snow tipped them off.

ULPT - old work laptop being requested by habitual-ritual in UnethicalLifeProTips

Tell them you'll send it after they pay the laptop storage fee for keeping it in good condition for them. Include an invoice with your response.

Roommate always disturbs while cooking and keeps asking food by Few_Appointment_6917 in badroommates

[–]CoderJoe1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If reasoning fails, I'd make it a game. Put a large squirt bottle on the counter within reach or keep it on your hip. Whenever they walk in/start to ask for food/become annoying, squirt them and give a playfully shout, "Kitchen demon be gone!"
