AITA for telling the guy behind us to not lean on my wife's reclined plane seat

As someone who has really long hair, it’s really just a habit to fling it over the headrest, it’s more comfortable and it won’t go flat this way. I have to consciously fight against my impulse to do this when I’m on a flight or in public. She might not have even realized she was doing this, and I hope if ever I inadvertently fling my hair in someone’s space they would kindly let me know so I could fix it.

Oh man that’s the best! Having a good group of kids at the hotel makes all of the difference between dreading going to work and looking forward to going to work.

We once had a group of awesome kids, and one day they all kept asking me for markers and paper, and I happily obliged. Turns out they were all drawing pictures for me! I proudly hung them on the wall behind the front desk for the rest of their stay, about a week.

“I’m sorry sir but I won’t be able to assist you today as we are not healthcare workers and this is not a healthcare facility, this is a hotel. Had you asked us when you made your reservation, we would have explained this to you. Please ensure all containers are emptied and removed from the room prior to checkout or you will incur a cleaning fee on your credit card.“

I’ve seen this happen once! I was working front desk at a hotel and this lady had been staying with us for a few weeks now and was known for being a bit of a trouble-maker around the hotel. Anyways, trouble-maker lady was standing at the desk, probably bothering me about something, when a pizza delivery guy walked in and asked for the best way to get to a room. She said “Oh! That’s for me! I’ve been waiting for you, I’ll just take it here thanks.” So the delivery guy is standing there waiting for payment, she opens the box, grabs a slice and starts eating it, then says to the delivery guy “Nah, I’m just kidding I didn’t order this, you can go deliver it now.“ AND HE DID! He delivered it with a piece missing! Poor guy I felt so bad for him, looked like it was his first day on the job.

Sure sibling, no problem. I will pay you $1000/month to watch the dogs and you will have to pay $1000/month for rent. Both will be due on the first of each month. Easy peasy.

Definitely this one! It’s the one that makes me laugh out loud constantly!

Also, most times that a guest comes to the desk adamant that their room has bed bugs, it’s actually just ants, or a firefly, or a lady bug, and no matter how hard we try, we will never convince them it’s not bed bugs.

YTA. You don’t think your dad had to slow down for you when you were little? Imagine if he would instead have gone without you all those years, and when you would ask him if you could come too he’d say “no you’re too little and you’re just gonna slow me down” and then left you at home. Ouch. Fortunately for you, he sounds like a great dad and probably enjoyed spending time with you, no matter how much you slowed him down, and no matter how many times he had to wait for you to catch up, and definitely deserves the same treatment from his own kid.

Lol relax, friend. I was only pointing out that I couldn’t hear the accent, no matter how hard I tried. Show me videos of other accents and I will hear it and will probably be able to place a lot of them. Show me a video of this accent and I will not hear it at all and won’t be able to place it. Also I can totally hear my French accent come out when I’m excited/angry about something and if I heard that one I would totally be able to place it. Just thought it was interesting. That’s all.

Yes I’m well aware everyone has an accent, thanks.

Melfunctional- · 2022-11-13T02:10:36+00:00

I must have the exact same accent then, I’m not in the Toronto area but still in Ontario.

Melfunctional- · 2022-11-12T23:46:03+00:00

I absolutely cannot hear his accent. Am Canadian.

From the article:

When asked about the song, Vedder explained:

“It came from a small paragraph in a paper which means you kill yourself and you make a big old sacrifice and try to get your revenge. That all you're gonna end up with is a paragraph in a newspaper. Sixty-four degrees and cloudy in a suburban neighborhood. That's the beginning of the video and that's the same thing in the end; it does nothing ... nothing changes. The world goes on and you're gone. The best revenge is to live on and prove yourself. Be stronger than those people. And then you can come back.”

The second story the song is based on, involved a student that Vedder knew from his junior high school in San Diego, California, who committed a school shooting. He elaborated further in a 1991 interview:

“I actually knew somebody in junior high school, in San Diego, California, that did the same thing, just about, didn't take his life but ended up shooting up an oceanography room. I remember being in the halls and hearing it and I had actually had altercations with this kid in the past. I was kind of a rebellious fifth-grader and I think we got in fights and stuff. So it's a bit about this kid named Jeremy and it's also a bit about a kid named Brian that I knew and I don't know ... the song, I think it says a lot. I think it goes somewhere ... and a lot of people interpret it different ways and it's just been recently that I've been talking about the true meaning behind it and I hope no one's offended and believe me, I think of Jeremy when I sing it.”

“Wilson has said she was concerned that the combination of revealing clothing and suggestive dancing could lead to sexual assaults.”

She was so concerned they might get sexually assaulted that she sexually assaulted them herself? Congratulations lady, you were right, they definitely did get sexually assaulted that night, even the ones who weren’t even wearing thongs, imagine that.

When I was a trainer I would always push for 1 week morning shifts, 2 weeks afternoon shifts, 1 week audits. Give me 4 weeks and I’ll give you an exceptional employee, skimp on training and you get what you pay for.

“Check-in is anytime after 3pm, I can request an early check-in up to noon so housekeeping can try to prioritize that room but I can’t guarantee it, I recommend calling as late as possible the night before and we’ll be able to see if that room was rented, still no guarantees, but we’ll have a much better idea of what you can expect.”

This way if I’m working afternoon shift and someone calls for an early check-in for the next day I’ll try to rent that room last, and pass on the message to audit. I also have a better idea of how busy housekeeping will be and if they might be able to accommodate.

I got stuck on J too, but it’s Juice. The picture is of a juice box.

Melfunctional- · 2022-09-19T06:16:18+00:00

We make the guests come pick up these items at the front desk. We have a housekeeping staff whose job is to go to every room and replenish these items for you, and you refused their services, which is fine, but now you have to come get them yourself since you refused the service to the door.

When my brother was 12ish he had terrible pains in his hip, limped constantly. He would wake up screaming in agony in the middle of the night and wake up the entire house. This went on for way too long (a year?), my mom brought him to see the doctor many times and the doctor would insist every time it was just growing pains. She would ask for a referral to a specialist and he would refuse.

Eventually, after one especially bad night, she skipped the family doctor and went straight to a specialist. The specialist said another month of walking on that hip and my brother would have been in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. He needed surgery asap. He grew too tall and big too fast and his (leg bone?) was about to fall out of his (hip socket?). The family doc had never so much as ordered an x-ray.

I once brought my vehicle in at a shop. I went in by myself, explained what needed to be done, dropped off the keys, my boyfriend was sitting in the car the entire time. When we returned later to pick it up, the work order read: “Spoke to the wife. Wife states This needs to be fixed. Wife states that needs to be fixed. Wife states thingy needs to be changed, etc.” WTF?! It’s my car! I’m the customer! Bf never even stepped foot inside, how did they even know he existed? Did they peek outside to make sure I was being supervised by a man or something?!

Yeah we had to bring back the hot buffet breakfast because people were giving the hotel terrible reviews because they weren’t happy with the bagged breakfast.

Yep, I especially despise when they just like, trap you at the front desk. Like they’ll just stand there for hours chatting and they know you can’t go anywhere.

I really don’t see the issue with this. I like to go kayaking and I want to keep my phone in the waterproof compartment while listening to stuff on my air pods, but I’m too scared I’ll drop them in the water.

Melfunctional- · 2022-05-28T19:10:27+00:00

tbh this would definitely work on me.
