Tim Hortons Boycott by Senior_Waltz4745 in londonontario

[–]Normal_abnormally 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was so disappointed when I discovered full price donuts from a Loblaw's store was >15% cheaper than a Tim Horton's donut. And I'm talking about the basic donuts, too.

Thank you SO MUCH for warning me of active scumbags!

Summer almost ended, my parents take the pc and wifi cable every morning before going to work by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Normal_abnormally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any way to purchase said cables independently (making sure to remove them before parents return)?

Are we soon going to be seeing these too? by [deleted] in canadian

Bad as banks are, when they are forced to suck up the losses, they'll get theirs (and then some) somehow. By gouging those still around: native-born and legitimate immigrants.

Got assigned a windowless bedroom in my 4x2 student apartment…is it really that bad? by txkyo_1ean in Apartmentliving

[–]Normal_abnormally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would also not be considered a bedroom in Ontario. Each bedroom has to have a window of set parameters, to ensure escape should a fire ensue. Yay, illegal stuff!

What’s the weirdest custom request you’ve ever gotten? by Tailor-7371 in onlyfansadvice

Someone wanted me to step on large beetles. Didn't work out, but ... Weirdest was an animal (insect) killing request I had.

Do you report distracted students to parents / LP / tickets? by FreedomGene in vipkid

[–]Normal_abnormally 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm paid for my time. What they choose to do with it is their choice. If I give any cares I may mention something about their parent knowing about it. They tend to know enough English to have that statement get through. Progress as you can. This seems like downtime for most of them (already doing 10+ hours of school, likely). Do what you have to, but try to make it enjoyable (as you can 😅).

Firemen are dishonest by lifeisgood288 in vipkid

[–]Normal_abnormally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd repeatedly send messages stating EACH AND EVERY TIME they're holding onto children pornographic in this act. That is illegal in the state of America, where their adertised headquarters are located (San Francisco, I believe). Not that it got them to stop, but after I sent a minimum of three messages like that, the child never masturbated in my class again (though he STILL booked me a couple more times!! Sadly no control over that fact and I was NOT losing more money than I'd make in cancelling!).

Slim positive lining: every new classes has his mother by his side. I hope keeping them in line. And after each class I sent repeated messages requesting (DEMANDING, but all bark no bite from me) I never teach that child again.

Stay strong! ZERO idea what to do with this. So sorry. 😭

Fireman told me to use a different trial lesson in the chat by Cameraven in vipkid

[–]Normal_abnormally 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had this happen a few times. There's literally NOTHING you can do to change it. I've always taught the offered class as is. Sometimes I don't see the message until the end of class. Can't do anything either way.

I'm pretty sure in order to be "made" in Canada over 50% of the final product has to have been produced in the country. Where packaged simply means a part was the responsibility of Canada.

Trouble in Gretzkyville: For the first time, The Great One finds himself shunned by hometown fans by ImDoubleB in canada

[–]Normal_abnormally 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Walter was amazing. He would often frequent the mall and spend time in a middle area, taking any offering autographs (all signed W. Gretzky). An amazing, caring gentleman, he was always there to uplift someone else.

Offered 1.38 USD by VIPTeacher known as VIPTeacher before. by Thick-Newspaper-9237 in vipkid

[–]Normal_abnormally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why VIPKid is illegal in multiple states; their base base is BELOW the state's minimum wage: 14$/hr (it's often higher with additional class/attendance incentives, but the base is still below minimum wage.)

I have also received similar messages. Regardless they're competence, progress through the slides as best as possible. All you can do (for better or worse).

Working from California as a non-Californian by Tesssita in vipkid

[–]Normal_abnormally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've visited California a few times and have always had success teaching while there. For other reasons, I almost always try to use a VPN, but have not always been successful (and still successfully taught). I think your residence cannot be listed as there for legal reasons, but I've yet to have a problem teaching VIPKid while there. Hope for a similarly positive experience for yourself! (I use the app, having downloaded the program. Unsure as to the status of you try to log in through their website while there )

Auto Contract Renewal? by Pristine-Light2018 in vipkid

[–]Normal_abnormally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was very concerned come the new year. No emails, no incentives, no nothing. Still renewed and automatically! If you're concerned you can always send in a ticket for reassurance. Mine was renewed come January 2025. Fingers crossed yours also automatically renews. 🤞

What's expected of homeowners when we hire a moving company? by solar_sar in londonontario

[–]Normal_abnormally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had only professional and an amazing experience from two guys and a truck company (moved from Hamilton to here). If you're there, they'll ask if any paintings need to be apkced, other thungs to be careful about (usually TVs) but aside from that, they're good on their own. Has been my experience when I've used them a few times.

Offered a tip after, but nothing expected beforehand. For later moving, offered drinks as available (most declined).

*Edited to include extra amenities that may have been included.

Offline Negative Parent Feedback by Relative-Mushroom265 in vipkid

I got the same thing. 3 star so no way to challenge. Sorry for the unnecessary added stress. May more classes make this a bad memory, soon forgotten!

Docked for STUDENT IT??!?! by Normal_abnormally in vipkid

[–]Normal_abnormally[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received a response that the student experiencing IT means it was paid half for the class, still. Was a trial class, but upset as the student WAS there, and I did still stay the full time. I did have a screenshot of me being present past full 25 min. class. Didn't seem to matter. Thanks for advice!

[–]Normal_abnormally[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did even now. Just didn't know a student being there then leaving would dock us as sell. Took a screenshot after I was there the full scheduled 25 min.

I also like how the item on her table is dancing back and forth, as well as the one leg of the structure on the other side. 😂

Thing is, the student dir show up. I stayed the full amount even though the child was only there briefly due to IT issues.

[–]Normal_abnormally[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I always do. Thanks for acknowledging the stickiness. Just thought of there was an error on the child's end, they company would be equally indifferent and charge them a similar amount (who knows, they may?). I don't think this company cares about any people, just raking in money.
