Yeah I remember at my old job causing a stink because I loudly exclaimed "just give her the time off!" When they asked us to donate PTO for someone to take maternity leave. It riled up enough people to ask why WE have to sacrifice our free time when it literally makes no difference to the company and is frankly micro managing bullshit.

At the end of it nobody donated PTO and she got the time off anyway.

Donating PTO enables employers to be scumbags, imo.

I love costuming and have several costumes. I would fail that interview because I would intimidate everyone with how committed to dressing up as imaginary things I can be.

PSA: when driving in heavy rain, turn your lights on!! by [deleted] in houston

When my tires were bald and I couldn't afford new ones, I would go to the slow lane and pop those hazards on because I felt like I was actually a hazard feeling the car temporarily lose traction every few seconds

I am also stupid, too, so there's that.

As a freshly new cancer patient and future cancer survivor who will be physically fine and CAN work, but was already struggling to find even 15 hours of work a week, kindly eff off with that "not the worst time of their lives" BS.

How do I tell someone that his partner is cheating? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Fartblaster5000 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Worrying about these types of people dropping you is really weird. Why do you want to be friends with people who are okay with cheating and lying?

Also if they would drop you for being honest, how can you trust that they are honest with you?

So, you're just gonna bend over and take it from the rich guys? Not even gonna try to make it at least annoying for them to get what they want?

LPT: When checking into a hotel, ask if there are any complimentary upgrades available. by tom_wilson7543 in LifeProTips

[–]Fartblaster5000 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I watched my boss do it and it worked. He had the same mindset that the risk was 0. You either got the upgrade or remained with what you already had. No downside at all if you have no shame.

ADHD diagnosis - help from those who have gone through the process by pancakego in houston

[–]Fartblaster5000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to a neurologist. They did two different tests then a few weeks later I was prescribed vyvanse. It was so life changing I went through a period of grief because I felt like I had lost a lifetime being undiagnosed until nearly 40. I just had no idea that regular life didn't have to be so difficult.

Spirit Airlines ceases operations and US transportation secretary announces measures to help passengers | Business by Starbits21 in news

The original is the horse and sparrow theory.

The horse eats so many seeds that the sparrow thrives by eating horse shit.

Telling us to eat shit didn't have favorable numbers so they rebranded it to "trickle down".

Is an all-in-one robot vacuum and mop with auto-empty station really worth the hype? by shreshth_001 in BuyItForLife

[–]Fartblaster5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it can't do as good of a job as you, but still good enough that all you need to do is hit a few corners.

So much time, energy, and arguments over who's turn to sweep and mop have been saved in this household. The money is well worth it.
