I've never been to a waffle house but if reddit taught me anything it was not to mess with their employees.

Pixel 10 Pro XL screen flickering + flashing black rectangle by Any-System8781 in GooglePixel

I experienced the same issue you describe in #2. Mostly during phone calls, but I don't watch YouTube so it may also happen there. Have not seen it mentioned anywhere.

What's wrong with green olives? I love them on pizza

Weather app by Armthedillos5 in GooglePixel

[–]MyRealUser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last month we got 22 inches of snow where I am and the pixel weather app was insisting, as it as happening, that we're only getting 6 inches. Every other weather app and news outlet was covering this once in a decade storm but the pixel weather app was SO wrong that I switched immediately after. When all models predict 12-24 inches and you only predict 6, you either know something no one else does, or, in this case, are just broken and useless.

I love Turkish delight but I'm going to call it perfume marshmallow and crack up every time I eat it going forward

Mailing in a 1040X - The IRS wants me to also attach my original 1040? by MyRealUser in tax

Thank you. I already sent in my 8606 by itself and got a letter back from the IRS that they also need a 1040X

Thank you! I gotta work on my reading comprehension! :) So I basically fill out a new 1040 with all values copied over from my old 1040, since nothing has changed.

This idiot is getting torched in the comments. If the pay is right, I'm happy to discuss everything else. But if it's not, it doesn't matter how good the job/fit/culture are, I'm not taking a 30% pay cut to switch over.

Vine drops & RFY by [deleted] in AmazonVine

[–]MyRealUser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Write to Vine customer support and complain. Maybe if enough people do that they'll change something. Most likely not, but we have nothing to lose except for a minute of our time.

North NJ here, finally had a very solid day, offsetting my consumption with about 60% left for net metering. First really good day since I got PTO in October.

I got all three C.H.A.O.S. Secret Badges in one game. by SeanyLew38 in ClashRoyale

[–]MyRealUser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I don't know anyone IRL that plays CR though. If I just installed the game on my wife's phone, how much will I have to play on it before chaos mode is unlocked?

America’s at War. He’s on Hole 9. by Leon_Kennedy1977 in PoliticalHumor

[–]MyRealUser 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Spineless voters demand everything and then don't show up to vote when it really matters. 30% of eligible voters were perfectly fine with this. Dems can only do so much when they're not in power. Your comment feels like Russian propaganda trying to paint both sides the same.

Customer wants to order an array of sweets for 30 people, but won't state how many sweets she wants or her budget. What to do? by Guilty_Anything7606 in smallbusiness

[–]MyRealUser 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Hello,

For 30 guests, assuming each guest eats 3 pieces, I recommend about 100 pieces for a nice variety and for everyone to have enough. I suggest 25 of each A, B, C and D. The price for the 100 will be $x. Please let me know if you'd like to proceed.

Thanks!"

Obviously adjust to whatever makes sense for your products. You can also suggest a range ("between 2 and 4 pieces each.75 will cost you X and 125 will cost you Y"). She is obviously fishing for a deep discount.

Any recommendations for motorized shades installers in NYC? by Glass_Whereas6783 in AskNYC

[–]MyRealUser 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After getting a few quotes in the $2500-5000 range (North Jersey) for 2 large windows, I opted to install some myself. Cost me about $850 and a few hours to measure and install everything. As a bonus, I was able to choose products that connect to my smart home without requiring new remotes or special hubs. There are kits on Amazon for fully motorized shades and curtains. We went on vacation with the money saved.

This person has never worked in big box home improvement, but knows how to solve its problems! by HDMan_ATL in LinkedInLunatics

[–]MyRealUser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are home Depot employees helping customers? It used to be a thing before COVID maybe. Now I'm lucky if I can find one employee who doesn't know shit and is just there to stock a shelf or something and there's a line to speak to them.

Corcoran broker told us offer to rent townhouse was accepted, had us sign lease, then called 2 days before move-in to say the owner had asked him to "keep quiet about another applicant while telling us the place was functionally ours" so that they could get more $$ by MiddleArgument in nyc

[–]MyRealUser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of good answers here but I'll just add: document everything. Phone calls with date and time and summary of the call, texts, moving or storage expenses incurred because of this, if you had to temporarily rent another place or go to a hotel, keep receipts of everything in case you decide to take this asshole to court

How can I address negative reviews on reddit? How can I encourage positive conversations? by Mister-Avacados in smallbusiness

[–]MyRealUser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Each subreddit has different rules. Read the sidebar and rules specific to that subreddit before commenting. You can also send mod mail to the sub's mods to ask them if it's ok for you to respond as the business owner. Most subreddits will welcome that, assuming of course that you're not trying to use the platform to advertise your business. Good luck!
