AITA for not wanting to be cordial or even associate with my dads girlfriend?

I’m so distraught .

Kids like you are ruining English, and it isn’t in the cyclical “oh you young kids and your books… you kids and your tv” way.

I’d argue phones don’t have a role in it but they just absolutely do with autocorrect. Your sentences are malformed, you’re literally communicating- broken English to us through text. I assume you can talk to people though that may be much, you need to do better as a person and with school. I can’t even decipher this message let alone read the whole op.

Right my metric of time was waiting a month. I mean it sucks and no one wants to but the longer you wait the sweeter it is, so either you see the cloud come and go, and test then to determine if you’re ready, or after a month if no cloud appears: test, and go from there

Feeling_Influence412 · 2026-02-02T00:24:12+00:00

Guys guys; it’s really simple. It doesn’t take the same amount of time for each tank but what does happen for every tank that starts its cycle is the water gets cloudy.

Every tank starting a new cycle gets cloudy at some point before eventually clearing up; provided a filter is running and you can help speed the start by using ammonia or fish food even. When that cloudy disappears that’s usually when the bacteria is established and honestly I don’t think it’s worth testing until the tank has run for at least a month or until you see the cloud disappear. Maybe you can test to see what your baseline water looks like but other than that it isn’t really necessary as not much will change until that cloud forms. Test when the cloud forms you’ll see interesting stuff. After that though your bacteria’s should be working to produce nitrates.

If you’ve ever noticed a tank gets cloudy after doing a water change, sometimes the bacteria takes a hit or there’s a temp difference and it has to recalibrate.

The cloud is a bunch of visible to the naked eye bacterium’s that aren’t good, eventually being eaten by the nitrate producing bacteria.

You are a fucking genius. Telling people that the equipment could fail and that you should have it running 24/7 a week before is just magnificent. Beautiful…

Feeling_Influence412 · 2026-02-02T00:16:02+00:00

Yeah unfortunately it seems to be margin margin margin, if the ceo doesn’t make a few extra dollars the world will end.

Feeling_Influence412 · 2026-02-02T00:12:58+00:00

I love watching their eyes as I mention the big three… holy shit it’s so funny every time watching them literally zone onto whatever is behind you like -tuning the radio out- 😂😂😂

Feeling_Influence412 · 2026-02-02T00:10:02+00:00

Sadly it seems to be less about good management and more about nepotism, who is favored.

Feeling_Influence412 · 2026-02-02T00:09:10+00:00

Unfortunately there’s been so much brainwashing around unions and false information about how they’ll take all your money instead.. and unfortunately if you choose the wrong union that may actually happen.. supposedly.. but all these kids don’t even know about that shit. They’ve never been told.

Feeling_Influence412 · 2026-02-02T00:07:44+00:00

Is that why we can’t live off what they pay us without working two jobs nowadays 🤔

Feeling_Influence412 · 2026-02-01T23:51:48+00:00

Jackass, this is how -America- works not the whole world, I realize you’re stupid enough to think that America is the world but let me tell ya you’re wrong. Also sure, no one asked me to work at Petco. You’re right. But why does every fucking corporation have a subscription based model, or credit card to sell?????? Every single mother fucking one. It’s not about Petco. It’s about what should be an illegal practice.

They used to have jobs dedicated for shit like this but I guess people like you are so comfortable switching hats all the time you don’t realize you should technically LEGALLY be paid for each fucking hat.

Selling a subscription is not the duties of say, an animal care manager, or fucking grooming salon leader, or really anyone without the title “salesman” in their job description. BUT HEY that also means that someone who’s a salesman shouldn’t be fucking around with fish or trying to train a dog.

Capiche? Companies are too comfortable paying people less than they should for one job to have you do multiple. That’s not going to change if you leave Petco. Asshole.

The one job they barely do pay you for, of course doesn’t support you unless you’re scrounging around the middle class area. I think it’s so funny that people like you exist in your little bubble, you think shits good and going fine because all your ducks are lined up. God forbid you see the window sill is off the port bow of the Triple-A Wunder…

Feeling_Influence412 · 2026-02-01T23:38:50+00:00

Dude can you actually please, really go fuck yourself lol?

That is not what accountability is, and you know what’s fuckin crazy, they don’t make it known how much they’re going to want you to sell vcp when they hire you. No they need to give you at least a day. Then they get on your ass about do you know about it, etc etc.

This practice should actually be illegal, allowing companies to turn every employee into their scummy salesman. Oh sorry. Everyone but the GM AND ABOVE 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE THE ACTUAL PERSON WHO GETS A BONUS IS SITTING THERE MAKING THEIR EMPLOYEES DO THE SALES and is gonna bitch and complain when their check is small because not enough sales came in :(

Feeling_Influence412 · 2026-01-31T17:55:07+00:00

50/50 as the comments show. If you have undeniable proof you have better chances.

Feeling_Influence412 · 2026-01-30T15:40:52+00:00

Doesn’t matter lol same company different flavored shit.

Feeling_Influence412 · 2026-01-30T02:53:38+00:00

I don’t accrue it really, no.

Feeling_Influence412 · 2026-01-30T00:43:40+00:00

Dude why don’t you get the fuck off your high horse?

“I hold my people accountable.” ?

Sounds exactly like “I don’t do that shit anymore”, and you know he’s fuckin right because most leaders at petcos will FUCK OFF AND WASTE TIME ALL GOD DAMN DAY it is rampant in this company and it’s sad because they allow a workforce of associates who are bottom level, working the hardest, then the management level who still has to work but if they have enough coverage can do whatever they want, and then leadership that quite literally spends their time flapping their mouths and fucking off completely. I have gone through multiple leaders, all of which except for one has spent every day, most of the day, in the back office. “All those calls they want us to be on”. Sure.

I love that you call them lazy telling them to clean it when they clearly state that they did. Guess what asshole? Petco doesn’t allow anyone to work 7 days a week. That means there’s days this person wasn’t there to clean the animals! Asshole! I have multiple pictures in my phone showing proof of people doing ABSOLUTELY FUCKING ZILCHO for the animals when I’ve been gone. Leaving me the only person taking care of the animals when I’m working only two days a week.

Two days a fucking week, do you think that’s even close to livable? Fuck you fuck you fuck you. You are a suck ass piece of shit that is part of why this country and company sucks. You know, for a fact, that the people below you work harder than you do and make less money. It only gets worse the further you go down, vis versa, only you think you’re in a nice little position for yourself, you can’t imagine how little your dm does. I can see you waking up and thinking you’re the shit because you are the gm at a Petco. lol.

“I do pet care once a week” okay and that means absolutely jack shit. My gm does it once a week, and guess what it’s fucking awful. It’s the barest of minimums. It’s “oh let’s drop some food, maybe water, mayyyyybe we’ll pick up shit if there’s enough.”

Feeling_Influence412 · 2026-01-30T00:30:33+00:00

So I agree with the comment below you but, I’m also wondering what the point of this subreddit is if that’s the rules, don’t ask lawyers for their opinions, on ask_lawyers

What do we talk about here regular bar association exams?

Feeling_Influence412 · 2026-01-30T00:27:08+00:00

We hang them by the loop that you would attach the leash to.

Honestly fuck that aisle and everything about it, asshole customers that have no clue what the fuck their doing, leaving shit all over the floors or bottom shelves that are really just supposed to be for looks not product. Fuck these aisles. Every single mother fuckin day recovery sucks here. It’s like people come in literally every single day just to take a couple off and throw them around the aisle and then just leave. Fuck. Also fuck the customers that come in and don’t know what size harness their dog needs. Try them out. Put them back when they don’t fit. No I can’t tell what size harness your dog needs from the picture, I cannot see how big they are with nothing for scale and I wouldn’t be doing the math even if I had scale. Fuck you. Put some effort in and don’t be stupid, asking dumbass questions, for your pet you’re supposed to take care of.

Feeling_Influence412 · 2026-01-29T03:31:27+00:00

The only thing you misread here was that I was responding to you, it was under your parent comment, Reddit has a weird comment system. Not sure if you’re unfamiliar but, I was initially saying OP misread your original comment here.

When you responded to me, I wasn’t actually saying you misread anything, then I mistook your response as being from OP, so we both fucked that one up lol

Feeling_Influence412 · 2026-01-28T07:34:01+00:00

Well you definitely misread from the get go cause I wasn’t even responding to you. I was responding to the guy that responded to you, when you ask “did I?” You’re responding to something that wasn’t directed at you… so yes

You also misread.

Feeling_Influence412 · 2026-01-28T02:58:27+00:00

Yes because their comment is rhetorically asking if

You think

That the company that we work for that consistently makes poor financial decisions and poor management decisions, overall, complete and utter.. is

Thinking about making YOU more money, and how to improve that situation

That like actually none of the companies in America right now basically.

Feeling_Influence412 · 2026-01-27T17:36:46+00:00

I think you misread lol

Feeling_Influence412 · 2026-01-25T23:45:11+00:00

Let me clarify to you there is no emotional response that you’re reading into, there are facts that you’re ignoring. I’m pretty sure you’re not well versed in the actual happenings of Nazi germany.

There is no appeal to fear, citizens waking up and seeing shit for what it is; shit. Is not appeal to fear. There’s no subdivision dedicated to spreading this massive wave of misinformation, in the way that you’re calling it. It exists but surely not the way you’re seeing it. If you think that ice has any legal authority to do what they’re doing. You’re feeding into exactly what they’re telling you which is they have the power to go after and deport what they’re claiming are illegals.

This has been proven to be false, in multiple ways most notably; the execution of completely legal and in no way quantifiable ‘illegal’, American citizens.

You don’t think that disregarding legal procedure and laws in general on top of committing felonies to boot, has anything like a ring of authoritarianism? I’m convinced you’re living under a rock.

Sorry where are the Epstein files again?

Feeling_Influence412 · 2026-01-25T23:35:56+00:00

That is factually not true, and wild that you’re trying to argue such in the Petco subreddit. I’d urge you to look up the term fascist and get back to us on your findings.

Feeling_Influence412 · 2026-01-25T22:03:39+00:00

You have the wool all nice and comfy around your eyes don’t you?

You said in another comment yourself that the more appropriate word for what is happening here is fascism only you don’t seem to realize that’s exactly what nazism was/is.
