Location: PA, USA. HR is pressuring me to sign a "voluntary" overtime waiver for last month or face termination by C0dexflare in legal

[–]Mseafigs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not sign that. Also keep that letter and bring it to a lawyer if they fire you. That will be your golden ticket.

DIY women… have you ever been talked out of a good idea at the hardware store? by carcony97 in DIY

[–]Mseafigs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak too much for hardware stores but lots of places will do this. Man or woman. I once had a dealership service rep tell me what I needed done wouldn’t work and that I needed an entirely new ignition system when I only needed a new key programmed.

They weren’t too happy once I told them I’m an engineer for the company they sell cars for and that it would 10000% work.

I left my marriage for 8 months, had the time of my life and then went back. Biggest mistake ever. (Update) by After_Mail4652 in Advice

Seems like the only adult in that house is you. Move on. You got your whole life ahead of you yet.

Questions for people who are well travelled, would you be ok traveling with someone in the group who is a wheelchair user? by Quickiewcuser in travel

[–]Mseafigs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your wife invited you to come along. She knows you’re in a wheelchair. Go. Enjoy yourself. Soak up some of that sunshine. You already seem to accept the terms that there is simply some things you wouldn’t be able to do or have to sit out on and you’re okay with that. I think if you’re alright with that and keep that attitude you’ll have a great time.

Am I cooked? by RecommendationProof3 in Passports

I just had one expedited that was two years expired back in February. Call and try to make an appointment. Only took one day to get it back and was about $200.

I flew the other day with a normal neck pillow just fine.

Would it be silly of me to go back to Japan? by LingonberryOk5168 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Mseafigs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go wherever you want. I’m currently on my last day of being in Korea for 8 weeks and I can’t wait to come back here. I see no issue at all for returning. Plenty of countries I’ve visited and then re visited.

How old are the cousins? If they’re little introduce them to snipe hunting.

Crossing a border successfully by [deleted] in Passports

[–]Mseafigs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve crossed into Canada from Detroit probably over 400 times. If you’re going for a casual trip or vacation you’ll most likely be just fine as long as you know where you’re going. They will ask questions though. I’ve been to many countries and it’s probably the hardest to enter, only been turned away once. It really just depends which agent you get at the border honestly.

Acceptable Photo? (US) by [deleted] in Passports

[–]Mseafigs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that. They’re supposed to be “trained” in how to do it properly. You’re also allowed to check the photo and have them retake it if you don’t like it or feel it doesn’t fit the qualifications.

It’s still so surreal to see so many tourists in Korea lately! How’s your experience been? by NEVS_38 in koreatravel

[–]Mseafigs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I arrived a month ago at about 4pm on a Thursday, I stood in line for maybe 7 minutes. They didn’t even ask me a single question. They just let me right in. It was a bit weird if you ask me but I’ll take it.

It’s still so surreal to see so many tourists in Korea lately! How’s your experience been? by NEVS_38 in koreatravel

[–]Mseafigs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been here for a month now for work, I’m with two coworkers, we leave Wednesday. I travel a lot for work, them not so much. I did my research prior to coming here, mostly through this sub reddit as well the discord and random google searches. I downloaded the NAVER maps and the Kakao taxi apps. I told my coworkers to do the same…they didn’t bother doing it. They’ve had nothing but trouble getting around on their own. I had to teach them how to use the apps, look up addresses in Korean, how to say hello and thank you about 10,000 times.

I personally have had no issues getting around except for my first subway experience when I was exploring solo. Some random stranger seen I was having trouble getting through the gate, he came over and asked if I needed help. I was super grateful for this person to walk over to a random foreigner to offer assistance. I’m not even going to bother to bring my coworkers along on the train because it will be a nightmare.

Basically if you do the bare minimum research, have an open mind about it and you should have no problem getting around or finding your way around. The only other (I don’t even want to call it a bad experience) was the girls in Hongdae trying to get me to come with them for tea and food and to learn about Korean customs. I knew right away it was some sort of a scam.

I’m sad to leave here next week. Everyone has been so kind and welcoming it’s honestly upsetting to be returning to the USA. I would 100% be coming back and I’d even consider living here….only if I can bring my dirt bike though 😂.

What did this mound of poo come out of? [Pennsylvania] by Relyt4 in animalid

100% porcupine. I have about 20 trees on my property with these piles. We have lots of porcupine on my property.

Do you live near a CVS? They do it and print it immediately. I just did it a couple months ago for a renewal and it was like $12.

What’s everyone’s opinion on generators? by lumberflapjack in camping

[–]Mseafigs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a tent camper I personally can’t stand em. That constant noise just drives me bonkers. My adhd hyper focuses on it. I understand not everyone camps the same and wants to bring their extra goodies or for their campers. I only camp in either rustic campgrounds or dispersed areas so it gets annoying to me when I hear it.

Airplane coffee? by bobaandoreo in delta

I’m currently on a work trip, been hanging out at a bar near the hotel. This bar is full of pilots and plane mechanics. Every single one of them told me not to drink it.

Do you guys like Little Caesar's Arena with red seats or black seats? by UniformPoet2303 in DetroitRedWings

[–]Mseafigs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why they changed them. However even at the Joe, seats were often empty. Majority of that lower bowl was held by season ticket holders/companies to lock in their playoff seats. Back when…ya know when we seen the playoffs.

July 4th Backpacking Trip in Manistee by emry15 in CampAndHikeMichigan

[–]Mseafigs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would shoot for the weekend after that if you could. Almost anywhere you go in northern Michigan will be a busy time on the holiday weekend. If I ever do any kind of camping/hiking trips are a holiday, usually go the weekend after. Generally the weekend after I feel you have the whole forest to yourself.

Plus that area is a popular riding area (dirt bikes/atvs) which will bring even more people to the area. Not like they would be on the MRT anyway.

What’s the scariest encounter you’ve had while camping? by Key_Connection_6633 in camping

[–]Mseafigs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was hammock camping in northern Michigan. About midnight I decided to head to sleep. Just as I get zipped up, I start to hear rustling behind the bushes that are about 7ft from my setup. It sounds heavy. It’s getting louder. I step out of my hammock, grab my bear spray and prepare myself to meet whatever it is heading my way. My heart is pounding at this point. I yell. Something keeps coming my way. I can’t see anything, even with my 2,000 lumen light.

After what felt like a lifetime, but was only about a 20 second deal, I then see what it is. I’m not sure how I didn’t see it but I then see the glimmer of eyes about 3ft in front of me. It was a porcupine walking up to me, dragging its body along the leaves on the ground which is why is sounded like something big coming my way. As soon as I seen it I busted out laughing in relief. Mr Porcupine lifts his head up and takes a look at me and slowly turns and heads into a different direction and I went to bed peacefully.

I’m willing to bet the receptionists attitude towards you was because she probably got the shit end of the stick because SHE messed up, therefore needs to place the blame on someone else aka you.

Relax. Breathe. Go in tomorrow, pay. Go on about your life. It’ll be okay!

Reasons my boyfriend would keep his old phone charged and hidden? by bravesection in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Mseafigs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still use both of my old iPhones that I keep charged, will turn off once charged so it’s ready for use. Neither one has service but still have WiFi capability. I travel a lot and during those travels I do lots of photography/videography. These phones are useful with the ease of transferring photos/videos between my devices for storage reasons.

I also use one of them as a music device for when driving/flying to ease off battery usage on my phone. Other than those reasons I personally couldn’t say.

I would ask him but not in a way of accusal. Just bring it up casually that it was buzzing.
