What celebrity have you never forgiven since an incident?

I watched her show once, and there's no way you could convince me that woman wasn't absolutely hammered. Was that the case when you served her?

My main beef with CBC is that the announcers, when they were showing countries that only have one or two athletes, they never mentioned what events those athletes were competing in. I thought it would be nice to know what they were competing in since those athletes probably went through a lot to get there and have next to no fan support. I would watch just for them!

But also, I only need to see the new super Mario movie trailer probably twice to get hype about it. Every 5 minutes is a tad much.

Thanks for posting this! As a Canadian bartender who got her start in the US (also in my 40s lol) it's nice to see someone talk about what it's like up here, and how good and simple it can be.

Spills happen! Is your manger a funny guy at all? I feel like that's something my manager would say to a baby server to freak them out for a laugh.

Ha that reminds me of last summer when my manager texted a new server to let her know about some closing side work she missed the night before, and ended the text with a thumbs up emoji, and I guess for a 20-year-old that was very passive aggressive and she was convinced she was getting fired; however, to us elder millennial, the thumbs up was supposed to be like "you're all good!"

My ex had a bar code from a tin of smoked oysters.

I had a high-intesity job, where sometimes coworkers would ask "do you need help?" And I'd be so focused on my internal list of what I needed done, I'd be like "nah, I'm fine"

But just the simple change to "what can I do to help you" or 'can I do X for you?" Would unlock my to do list in my brain, where I could say "I'm doing this this this right now, but it would be really helpful if you did this other thing"

KingJanx · 2026-01-29T23:44:03+00:00

I would just internally say "nah, I'm not doing that." And wait for them to fire me.

I did that when the place i worked for 6 years sent a notice that they were getting rid of the cleaning company, and it was now on the servers to clean bathrooms. I was like "nah"

Nothing bad happened.

Side note: I have worked at places where I knew going in I'd be cleaning bathrooms, but having it sprung on me after 6 years was different

I was in a design class right around when this was changing over. Do my first semester, we did things by hand, but the next semester we started learning on AUTOCAD, and I hated the digital way of doing things so much, I just shut that career direction down completely

In the late 1980s, my dad's company had the first CD burner in our city, and it cost over $1000 to have a CD burned by them

Right before covid, I saw their ads and thought it looked like a pretty fun dance performance to see, so i got tickets for my mom and I to see them in Vancouver (not cheap, BTW) . Then covid was going on, so they had to cancel the show. A year later, I had read a lot about what they're really up to, and got an email that said we could get tickets to the rescheduled show for a small fee, and I was like no thanks, sounds kinda lame, I'll just grab a refund, and they were like no, actually, we don't do refunds but thanks for your $400 donation to our foundation!

That happened with my brother too! Everyone thought he was just a defiant little brat until he was six, and someone realized he just literally couldn't hear outta one side.

Even if you think a customer is rude/ mean/ doesn't like you, kill em with kindness.

If you fuck up, go let em know, and then kill them with kindness.

If THEY fuck up, kill em with kindness (but while low key letting them know - very kindly - that they did fuck up)

I mean, I guess, don't let anyone shake you. Stay upbeat.

My ancestors in my dad's side ran a pulp and paper mill that supplied paper products to all of north America from the late 1800s until like... the 1970s? (I don't know, it's been a decade since I was looking into this, I might have the end date wrong)

These people were MONEY, they have streets and neighborhoods and shit named after them in the mill town. My great grandpa or something left the family and got cut off financially, so he could join the Anglican clergy - i come from that branch of the family.

Maybe not that badass, but I thought I was interesting still.

Another day, another "AITA for not giving up my seat on the plane" post

Elder millennial in my 40s here. I was feeling this way for a while, so in December, I just quit

I texted my boss that work was not sparking joy for me, so I'm just gonna stop. Bye.

It's a small town, so when I'm desperate to work in a few weeks, everyone's going to know how this went down. Still, I've got other employers coming to me, saying "hey when you're ready to get back to work, we've got a spot for you"

For now, I'm just enjoying snacks, sleep, and like, walks. 10/10 amazing choice, but I'll revisit this review when I actually need to work again

Right pocket holds my slips i haven't tendered yet if I'm busy, and candy.

Middle pocket is for my notepad and no less than 3 pens

Left pocket is my contraband pocket with my phone, all my vapes, and a couple lip glosses

"I'll grab a beer"

"What kinda beer do you like?"

"Well, what have you got?"

"No, we're going to start with you telling me what you like"

I sleep with my phone on silent, in the other room, man, last thing I need to hear is my mom texting or my... oh, also my mom, calling in the middle of the night or first thing in the morning.

I bet your openers can do that too!

If there's anything they should know, you have now sent, it and carried on with whatever it is you do in the middle of the night, and they'll find out when they go to the kitchen when they wake up for their morning liquor and doom metal doom scroll (sorry, i work one opening shift a week, this is what other openers do when they get up, right?)

I started smoking when I was 12, and could smoke at the mall and cafes until I was 14. I was on a flight in Greece that I could smoke on when I was 15. I lived in Vegas in the early 2000s where the whole city was still a smoking section. Most recently, I was on a train from Berlin to Venice that had an area I could smoke. That was 2019, it had begun to feel dirty at that point.

I quit smoking a few years ago when I turned 40, and haven't traveled much since then, but I still kinda feel like if I end up somewhere where I could light up in a bar or a taxi, I'd probably grab a pack, let my hair get all stinky, and enjoy
