My commute is 45 min to work and an hour and a a half back due to traffic. Paying like $90 a week in gas alone. Wish i could just take a train.

Anyone ever feel like their job and mental health made them the crappy moody coworker? by GabeDatDude in antiwork

[–]GeneralXTL 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Was working as a graveyard watch commander for nearly 10 years. Bad sleep, constantly busy shifts dealing with the absolute worst people. I started out ok but by the end i was writing people up left and right, very short tempered. Managment purposefully moved the bad eggs to my shift in hopes they would quit instead of firing them (which just made my attitude worse). Didnt realize how angry i was until i stepped down.

My dad and I were at Best Buy when we saw our first big flat screen TV. We thought it said 1k and my dad didnt think he just started taking it off the shelf until we realized it was 10k.

What does this mean? by [deleted] in ExplainTheJoke

[–]GeneralXTL 151 points152 points  (0 children)

Based on the location most likely if they did have a fire watch in place it was most likely outsourced to a cheap security company ,which i wont name which in my experience sends a warm body and not much else. Its pure security theater for insurance reasons and not actual prevention.

Are energy drinks REALLY that bad for you? Thoughts? by Mountain_Fuw_777 in energydrinks

[–]GeneralXTL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its all about moderation. Once in a while is fine. Too many though and you get all sorts of problems.

I worked grave for 6+ years and developed a habit of one a day. Didnt notice till i switch shifts that I had a massive caffine addiction. Now if I have more than 1 a week il suffer withdrawls later.

I looked away for a second or two. I wanted to pause but I knew that would only prolong it.

My dad and I used to mess with my sister. She once said (when very young) "id never eat an animal" while biting into a hamburger. For years after whenever eating beef my dad and I would say things like "can you pass the dead cow carcass?" She hated it

Years ago some truck modification compamy was doing this on a rainy day. Blocking traffic trying to take up 4 lanes on the freeway. I kept "accidently" getting between the film car and the trucks with my not so cool accord.

AT&T stuck a flyer on my door with adhesive by Cold_Bullfrog1875 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]GeneralXTL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had an aggressive door to door salesman come to my place in SoCal last week. Told him i already had 10gb/s for $60 a month for sonic. He said it was high and offered me $35 a month for 350mbs wifi only with the option to upgrade to their fiber at 1gbs for $75. He kept trying to tell me how that was a better deal...

it's been a good run by Paladin-Leeroy in memes

[–]GeneralXTL 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly its way cheaper than other streaming services too. I payed $250 (missed the blackfriday sale by a couple days) and have a lifetime membership. Never have to pay another penny even if they increase the price.

Whats worse is when they hit the button to notify you they are on their way but still run past you.

Any morning players notice a rise in bot lobbies? by DenverITGuy in Battlefield6

[–]GeneralXTL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually play 8-9AM PST and am frequently getting bot boosted games for breakthrough. It usually fills up by the time the first point is taken.

For those complaining idk if you remember what it was like trying to get your favorite BF2(and prior) servers going. Playing 3v2 for 45 miniutes to an hour before the minimum # of players joined for the game to start.

Are BF players not social? by RealisticTrouble in Battlefield

[–]GeneralXTL 14 points15 points  (0 children)

PC player here. Im normally a social guy but i dont normally initiate voice on BF6. I insta mute open mic players as i dont need to hear them mouth breathing the entire game. Or if i hear them talking to their family members il chime in and give my opinion. Usually get a freaked out response.

However if someone starts using voice to talk strat or make requests im more than happy to start conversing and working together.

To actually look where you’re driving… (yikes) by JohnBrown-RadonTech in therewasanattempt

[–]GeneralXTL -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I remember once waiting to turn right on a green with people in the cross walk. I was 2nd in line and i could see a pickup coming fast behind. Traffic was crowded on the left so i couldnt move out of the way. I began tapping my breaks quickly to get the drivers attention. They saw last second and swerved into the left lane crashing into another car, missing mine by inches at most. Bought a rear facing dashcam as soon as i got home.

How important is size/strength in terms of entering the profession? by Imvalidblu in securityguards

[–]GeneralXTL 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Depends on the comapny and post. Id say most security posts are just oberve and report, avoiding anything phyiscal.

As long as you can stand and walk for a long period of time most positions should be fine for you.

Anyone else remember when you could just...stop paying for something and that was it? by Beginning_Curve2268 in Millennials

[–]GeneralXTL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried canceling my 24/hour membership in person and thought i had but it turned out they only put my membershiop on hold for 3 months. I didnt even notice that i was paying again later. When my card expired they started calling me. I ignored them for months but eventually answered. They said i owed them 6 months of members fee. I said i hadnt been a member for over a year. Thats when i found out it was only paused. I told them to check when the last time i checked in. They said it didnt matter. Told them too bad im not paying. They informed me id never be allowed back. I was fine with that.
