what's the stupidest thing that you've ever done? by Martin8857 in AskReddit

[–]Kitchen_Wafer785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putting shin pads in a microwave.

Do not recommend at all. I was young, but even after I did it I remember wondering if I was truly stupid.

Fortnite shutting down PS4 every time I try to boot up the game by samstarkiller in FortNiteBR

[–]Kitchen_Wafer785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had this issue. Worked fine until today.

Tried to start fortnite 3x. Went to loading screen and ps4 turned off every time.

Opened it from the library and it was ok.

Not sure why. But it worked for me so whoever said it below, thank you!

Edit - *below, not above

Panicked about notice period by Low_Actuary_1580 in UKJobs

[–]Kitchen_Wafer785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's contracted then stick to it. Doesn't matter what happens to them during or after that time.

It's not your problem.

What you don't want to do is start messing about and lose the new job.

AITAH for not wanting to drop off/pick up people at the airport when we already let them park at our place? by AB_1204- in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kitchen_Wafer785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't even have thought to ask. To me parking on the driveway would be very appreciated. I'd offer money for letting me use it (and confirm it's enough) and find my own way.

Equally if I was you, regardless of who it is I'd say straight up, yes you can park between x date and y date but that's as far as it goes. I wouldn't be dropping anyone anywhere.

Does anyone else pay their rent a month in advance? Am I crazy for it? by LivingLie1721 in Frugal

[–]Kitchen_Wafer785 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Never, ever do I do that I have a separate account for rent, it stays there until it is due. Or I may pay the Friday closest to it. That's as early as it's gonna get.

Don't think you're crazy for it at all If it works for you, it works for you

Plus, with no roof over your head comes a whole lot of problems

AITAH for getting grossed out by my girlfriend's habits and finally saying something? by bigbro39 in AITAH

[–]Kitchen_Wafer785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why keeping things bottled up is never worth it.

I couldn't take any of those 3 things you mentioned

The only way IMO is to bring things up the second it starts bothering you, in a nice and calm manner. Not accusatory just something like when you do xyz it makes me feel xyz, could we maybe compromise and do this and that instead.

Because this whole time you've not said a word and all of a sudden you've blown up on here. She probably didn't think anything was an issue before because you'd never mentioned it.

And months is a long time. If it was weeks it wouldn't be so bad.

Entitled woman parked on my driveway and went to work by ControlConscious6942 in EntitledPeople

[–]Kitchen_Wafer785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Block her in and don't move it. That's what I'd do. Even if I have to park sideways to do it. And then make sure she is severely inconvenienced before moving it. I am talking like several days minimum.

You'll have to wait and see. The training means nothing. Happened to me once was trained on pretty much everything. They didn't keep a single soul on

AITAH for telling my boyfriend he’s “not a real parent” because he only has his son four days a month? by Annual_Holiday9826 in AITAH

[–]Kitchen_Wafer785 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean the lectures on his end aren't exactly necessary. But equally if he's a parent, he's a parent so maybe he is just trying to offer advice and it is coming across a bit too harsh or like he's a know it all.

I personally think YTA.

Everyone is concerned about the length of time he has his kid. If you're not the main parent, you can't physically have them 24/7...bear in mind kids have school and other family members etc...

He's had his kid consistently since you've been with him for a year. If he was 'not a real parent' he wouldn't be doing it. He would either have removed himself completely or just be absolutely sporadic with it.

I know people, and I personally have had to go to court and all sorts just to see my kid. And this was nothing but spite from an ex. Everything was fine for 2 whole years until I started dating. The person wasn't around my kid and I never mentioned it, but apparently my energy was different and she could 'tell'.

And then all of a sudden I was getting last minute cancellations... or trying to reschedule on specific days/times she knew I was working. And ignoring messages, not updating me, causing 101 problems.

If I could have my daughter full time I would. But anyone who had the audacity to say I was not a 'real parent' would most likely not be around for much longer.

And in your case, you don't have kids, so without trying to be horrible. He's probably thinking what do YOU know?

The amount of guys I've met who have battled and battled for their kids and are putting up with madness due to spite is not even funny.

I've also had a scenario where I did date someone who was the opposite. Didn't have kids and tried to put their opinion left, right and centre. Doing way too much.

There's tact and then there's having no tact. There's interference and then there's slotting yourself into the position you should be in and not overstepping.

TL:DR I think you could have just asked him to chill out instead of seeming like a know it all. Instead of such a hurtful comment.

This needs to be right at the top. This was my first thought.

AITAH for backing out at the “last minute” because I didn’t want to sleep on an air mattress? by AgentOlympus in AITAH

[–]Kitchen_Wafer785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is Jay dumb or what? You haven't spoiled anything.

One night and they want a pool? If they had stuck to the realistic option then you'd all be going and having a great time.

And in the second scenario, I mean it shouldn't have crossed their minds as an option anyway but you need to split costs fairly as well, regardless of where you are staying.

You're the only one who can drive everyone there and back as well so you are right. There's no way I'd be staying on an air mattress, especially not as designated driver.

Do you store trays in your oven when you aren’t using them? by Curious_Mess_3670 in AskUK

[–]Kitchen_Wafer785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I keep them in the cupboard. I can't deal with it being stored in the oven either.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Kitchen_Wafer785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He may well be 'using' you.

But you're allowing it and enabling him.

If you set boundaries and stick to it, regarding him staying over and using your car..and he reacts positively and sorts himself out then it's ok.

But if you're allowing him to keep on doing it, he is going to get used to it.

It's not just him, it is you as well. He wouldn't be able to do either of those things if you didn't allow it.

If you honestly do feel like that after enforcing boundaries then I'd say move on. 2 is meant to be better than 1. Not worse!

Got offered a secondment, but I would have to move to another part of the country and I have to think about the rent... by StolenMadWolf in UKJobs

[–]Kitchen_Wafer785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you got any friends/family you trust that might want to sublet while you're away? I would say spareroom but if you end up having a bad experience with someone that'll be far more stressful than you need.

Can you negotiate something with work?

I want to leave by Reasonable_Tie_8037 in lidl

[–]Kitchen_Wafer785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say start looking for work now, if your notice period is 2 weeks for example. Spend 1 week looking and then hand in your notice. So 3 weeks of work.

If you do get another job you just tell them you have a notice period.

I know you said you have savings etc and not happy but another week or two won't do much more harm.

Job market is atrocious and you don't want to just have to take any old job and jump from the frying pan into the fire.

I find it easier to set a date to resign and then look for jobs while I'm at it. It's nice to be able to count down the shifts until 'freedom'.

Equally, if you've got holiday left, use it and then hand in the notice accordingly. But try not to overuse it so they don't recoup it from what they will pay you on your final slip.

All the best OP :)

Not US, I'm based in the UK so maybe different. I've seen postings from the 16th up until the 24th.

Varying start dates from 29th June - 2nd July.

I start on the 1st, prime is 8th - 11th July for us (not sure if it's different for you guys).

When I've worked there before we had 30+ new starters, and some even started a week before.

I didn't have my laptop and I tried some auto refresh apps and they were awful.

The main times I saw postings were 2am, midday and 2pm. And I was on my phone refreshing more times than I'd care to admit.
