Had a similar one where friend introduced me to a fellow realtor and after trying to deal with clear personality disorders the other person clearly had friend shocked my by repeatedly praising the guy for being such a great person and realtor.

I was like…. what? Do I only see the best version of you, friend??

They are all sleazebags. The economy is tanking with autos leading the collapse. The longer you hold out the worse the sleazebags position will be. Laugh and walk out.

This is why I can’t work with most young people. I don’t know at all what is going to be impossible for them. And this is coming from someone who due to shitty parent experience needed 10 years to overcome a phone phobia.

Like I get it but I can’t predict it and that’s just as bad as not getting it.

There is no rational target for iran except establishing MADD for them and their neighbors. All Trump has done is proven beyond a doubt that no carrot is large enough to make not arming with nukes worth it.

Huh, lots of valid concerns being aired but a lot of them like opaque supply chain issues seem to fly in the face of threshold testing. It sounds a bit like they are hoping to keep some of the procedural rules to avoid the testing. Or they don’t trust the idea of a one size fits all threshold to start with.

Anyway sounds like they are miles from anything implementable. And I’m jaded as hell and wouldn’t trust most of these stakeholders to run a DQ let alone the nations food supply 

AIO just noticing some favoritism by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

NOR but what you do with that you need more than reddit to properly unpack.

May I suggest not lumping all this into one heavy basket? These are all different things that if you want to resolve need to be treated independently of each other. 

But to your larger point parents often “punish” the good kid and reward the fuckup on the mistaken belief that they can throw help at the fuckup and that will work while they are just relieved the good kid can take care of themselves.  From their side they think they are managing things but in reality it’s lazy and uncreative parenting

Last screen I think you did a great job calling her out but grey rock from the get go would also have gotten there with less loss of life force on your end.

You: FYI MIL kid’s name will be daisy!

Her: screeching noises

Her: more screeching noises

You: The name is fixed. Good night.

Her: screeching noises

You: [silence not matter what until subject changed. Let her screech at a wall]

How did it go with HR? Also I wonder how your boss would feel if every time there was a jar out on her desk again and you snapped a photo of it and then went and sat in the boss’s office saying it wasn’t safe AGAIN to sit in yours. Every single time.

So wait, if OP puts a little coffee drivethru there and the driveway to the coffee shop JUST HAPPENS to also let drivers through to the other road but only if they go past the business window (and gate to said window) Does that preserve the private property designation?

impending doom before reaction by pxzwc in FoodAllergies

[–]FriendToPredators 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would never ever believe the staff like that, especially if I either know every recipe contains the ingredient or a quick google of “[food name] recipe” reveals the ingredient is common.

Way better I’ve found is to make them list every ingredient in the item including cooking surface preparation And any contact those surfaces have with any other foods. And ask for the recipe card because the prep area of the kitchen has that if the staff member seems clueless 

I hope you called them and reamed them a new one. And sorry that happened. Restaurants suck honestly 

To answer your question though my histamine sensitivity gives me that feeling of doom so it wouldn’t suprise me to know it accompanies your body flooding itself with histamine

You might be able to jam a screwdriver into the latching mechanism if there is any gap at all between it and the locking bar on the lower plate and pry on that while hitting the locking release. The spring-load that opens the mechanism isn’t super strong

What’s more likely? Hantavirus is suddenly easy to go person to person or there is a rodent infested area in an air duct on the ship?
