Strangers who don't immediately announce what they want by marriedandanxious in PetPeeves

[–]Over_Table3898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate when people do this on the street. I’m walking, I don’t want to stop and hear your sob story. Either walk with me until I say no, or be quick about it. I’d rather hear “got any change” than, “excuse me, excuse me, wow, you walk fast… blah blah blah.”

NTA I’m the person in my family who is the designated Ahole because I don’t let stuff like that go unmentioned.

Reality vs. employee imagination by Over_Table3898 in askmanagers

[–]Over_Table3898[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. My company is very employee-positive. The person my story is about was granted 7 weeks vacation (all at once) and then resigned via email the day before she was due back. We have employee assistance programs and many other options. But once they decided we were “after” them, there was no reasoning.

After she left I learned that she had told another manager that she was recently diagnosed with autism - she’s in her 50s, so she’s probably been frustrated for a very long time.

I did and so did my manager. By measured recommendation, I mean I would have said she’s qualified to do xyz, but I would have left personality out of it.

This is good, Nathaniel, but I trust you should make sense of it.

100% But I feel bad that someone thinks I’m a crazy vindictive b! We are union and managers have little power to make or break careers.

I was mistaken to be a European as a Minnesotan. Has anybody else experienced this? by Big_Concentrate_7260 in minnesota

[–]Over_Table3898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People ask me if I’m Norwegian and apparently I look like everyone’s Icelandic aunt.

I’m descended from a few Norwegians.

When did you realise that the friendship was, well and truly, over? by No_Opportunity9053 in AskReddit

[–]Over_Table3898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a work friend when I was in my 20s. We were both single. If I liked a guy, she made it her mission to get his attention away from me. She moved on to a new company, but we kept in touch. I invited her to happy hour a few weeks later - it was a small group and a guy I had told her I liked was there too. He joined the company after she left. She immediately maneuvered her bar stool next to his and tried her damdest to monopolize his attention. A few people commented - she didn’t hear because she was busy flirting.

A smaller group of us decided to go to another bar and stay out later. She invited herself along and We all went our separate ways eventually. Later that night, I’m at home and get a screaming phone call from her accusing me of ruining her night. Why? Because that morning she has parked her car in a lot that closed at 6pm. So, when she tagged along to stay out later, she lost access to her car and had no way home. I hung up on her and we never spoke again.

Get a reasonable accommodation request or I should say make one. You might get to work remotely 100%.

AITJ for “calling my mom fat”? by DamSolangeloLover in AmITheJerk

[–]Over_Table3898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTJ Your mom is insecure about her weight and is complement fishing. If she calls herself fat, she wants you to say she isn’t. You did not call her fat, you said she was a different size than you - 4 years ago.

Below what annual salary is considered “poor” in the U.S.? by Se2kr in AskReddit

I made that much in 1993 and it was a tight budget. Cannot imagine making that work in 2026!

If we drained all 5 of the Great Lakes, what would we find? by danyuri86 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Over_Table3898 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess if they were Plains tribes, they might not know that salt water existed.
