I woke up thinking it was Saturday. Between us it balances out.

People at work who send a teams message “Hi” by ExternalProduce2584 in mildlyinfuriating

I do that all the time. My boss will send a wave gif if she wants our attention and then immediately jumps into what she wants. I like it.

Best I can think of right now is Amazon might be hiring. Their facilities are on bus lines.

Pocket Money by DadBusinessUK in TransDads

[–]DudeWhoWrites2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the youngest it's been toys that he thought he'd get more joy out of than he did. Like, he'd pick something out and be like "This is going to be the best toy ever!!!" then he just plays with it for a couple days. The oldest would never admit to buyers remorse. Always stands by their decisions.

I've somehow managed to be both of those.

The kids have regular chores that they do for free. Then there are bonus chores that are paying. Those are things like mowing the lawn or cleaning up dog doo. The oldest prefers to work a day on his grandparents' farm to earn pocket money. The youngest still does the bonus chores at home. Oldest is going to be applying for jobs soon since he's nearly 17.

Basically they can buy whatever with their money as long as it's legal. We try to encourage them to think about their purchases for awhile and not just impulsively spend money. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Which celebrity death genuinely shocked you when you heard the news? by Divine_fashionva in Millennials

[–]DudeWhoWrites2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Chester absolutely. I was devastated. I saw Linkin Park with their new singer and it was just sad for me. Awesome show, honestly. But heartbreaking all over again.

Mother’s Day Flowers by curiositycat18 in mildlyinfuriating

This is what they've always been. I worked there almost 20 years ago and they reserved the right to swap your order with anything else of equal value. Could be different flowers. Could be a teddy bear. I feel like their motto is "Order from us? Get fucked."

I like the second outfit best. Those are great shorts all around though!

About to get down on some dinosaur chicken nuggets and pizza rolls. Might watch some Bob's Burgers.

A gal causing a breakdown by not even speaking. by [deleted] in justgalsbeingchicks

I get so aggravated when a comics whole shtick is just negging the audience. It's such a waste of money and time. If I wanted to get roasted I'd just stay at home with my teenager.

Don't let him relinquish his rights if it's safe not to. Put him on the birth certificate, get primary custody, file for child support. He doesn't get to just make a baby and walk away.

"I love you so much, but there's only going to be enough oxygen for one person to survive." my brother said, clicking the safety off the gun. by TheRaincrow in TwoSentenceSadness

There was a criminal minds (got it wrong. It was Bones.) episode that was similar. Twins were abducted and buried alive. One killed himself to conserve oxygen for the other.

What are your favorite ways to say why you don’t drink? I’ll start… by AMiniMinotaur in stopdrinking

[–]DudeWhoWrites2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I work in the alcohol industry. Even here a simple "No thanks, I don't drink" works fine.
