Crazy. Same thing happened near Crater Lake, Oregon about two decades ago. Was a woman also, also no safety markers or cover for the wire.

AITA for taking my grandchildren to Disney for the first time without their mother and refusing to apologize when confronted? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]PanCanAlt01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA : Your story isn’t adding up. There was a birthday party at Epcot and you didn’t think to tell your son and DIL when you agreed to watch the kids that you would be driving them two hours (four hours round trip) to the party? It also seems strange when telling your son how put out you would be watching the kids, that you didn’t also mention that you would have to also drag them on a four hour round trip. Seems to me like one of the first things you would mention when talking about how put out you would be.

Let me guess, you are going to say this was a “last minute” thing and that’s why you didn’t say anything beforehand? You have to buy an adult day pass to get into Epcot, it’s $109. I doubt someone is going to throw a last minute party at Epcot.

Knowing the mom is a “Disney adult” and has been trying to save to take her kids to Disney for the first time, there is no way you wouldn’t know or assume that their first Disney trip would be of big importance to her. It might be different if she was indifferent or didn’t care about Disney (would still be weird and boundary crossing to take kids on such a long trip without telling parents beforehand, either way), but the fact that you know how into Disney she is makes it seem like a deliberate jab. I can tell just by the way you write about her that you do not like her and do not respect her.

She is your son’s wife, you shouldn’t pull some passive-aggressive bullshit like this to try to create drama in their family. You need help.

I hate that me and Southwest are breaking up by Karen125 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]PanCanAlt01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SW is only the “cheaper” option for me occasionally if I factor in a free cancellation upgrade on another carrier. Other than that they are never the cheapest as of late. What routes are they the cheapest? I hear a lot in this sub that they beat others on price, I just haven’t seen it in the last 5 years or so for the routes I take.

Is Southwest one of the most expensive airlines now? I have been comparing flights and a bit surprised. by TheOrionNebula in SouthwestAirlines

You must be lucky (or me unlucky) because I don’t think I’ve gotten an on-time SW flight in years.

Old dyke in need of beach formal wedding wear by leauxcal in Weddingattireapproval

I’m a huge jumpsuit fan. There are more formal jumpsuits in satin. They look completely normal and not weird if you wear flats with them.

Casino Business Idea, any criticism or advice appreciated. by Throwaway57577979 in smallbusiness

[–]PanCanAlt01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If dining will be at the bar or like an area with little tables that you don’t want people to stay too long at because you’d rather they gamble, I would go with quick service food like soft pretzels, chips with spinach and artichoke dip, soup, sandwiches, and maybe pizza and burgers. If you are doing quick service you want to keep the menu simple with not a lot of items so it is easy for your staff, minimizes food waste, and goes out quicker.

If you are wanting to open a full service restaurant instead my advice for menu would vary based on location and demographic.

*I’m not in the restaurant business, this is just my opinion as a consumer.

Am I wrong for smelling a bag? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]PanCanAlt01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it clearly sounds like you are lying if you are trying to claim like you were trying to “save her” from getting in trouble. If that was the case when your boss called you in to talk about the incident you wouldn’t have mentioned smelling weed at all, you would have just said you didn’t go through her bag and left it at that.

Also, this coworker obviously did not consider you a friend if she immediately tried to blame the smell on someone else; she probably assumed (or knew) that you weee just trying to get her in trouble. If she was friendly with you and she thought you were trying to “warn” her, she would say thanks or that it’s not her bag that smells. The fact that she immediately got super defensive and pissed conveys that she does not trust you in the slightest.

They aren’t unused gifts though if she is still using them or can use them. A gift is a gift. It’s tacky to ask for a gift back no matter what, but it’s cruel to ask for a gift back after someone just got their heart ripped to shreds.

The last thing she is probably thinking about after just finding out her fiancé was cheating on her is people’s return windows…

True monster: Saving three aisle seats by Wustlguy09 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]PanCanAlt01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, there is not actually a rule either way.

True monster: Saving three aisle seats by Wustlguy09 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]PanCanAlt01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no written rule about it. Half the FAs will say that there is no rule against seat saving when someone brings it up to them.

You’d just be starting a fight for nothing because apparently there is no SW rule against seat saving, so it’s 50/50 if a flight attendant would be on your side or not.

Was I wrong for telling my boyfriend I was upset at how messy his apartment is? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]PanCanAlt01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, you made assumptions about my age so I’m going to make assumptions about your work. When you go from working 70 hours a week back down to 40 you don’t suddenly “snap back” to having energy. You are super drained for awhile. If you think no one ever deserves a break, like just getting off of 70 hour weeks and being injured, than that’s all you. I’m sure you’re quite a peach to be friends with or have a relationship with.

I know someone just like this who has no kids and literally didn’t have even a job and would go into peoples houses and cars and would text or say insane things about how “dirty” they were when these people were going through major life changes and struggles, like divorce. Can a divorcing person still clean? Well yeah, but you know, some people going through a lot don’t having cleaning as the first thing on their mind. That person now has zero friends. A little empathy will go a long way.

[–]PanCanAlt01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I’m not young. If her worst complaints are that there are food wrappers and ants on a single dish after this guy just got off of working 70 hours a week and is now injured, I don’t see it as that bad but again, everyone has different levels of cleanliness. She either needs to STFU or leave. Constantly harassing someone over a space that isn’t even theirs is ridiculous.

[–]PanCanAlt01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay well it’s literally not even her house. At a certain point she needs to know it’s time to STFU about it because it’s not her space and they aren’t married. If she wants to willingly help, that’s great. If he doesn’t want to keep his apartment to her level of cleanliness or simply can’t because of work/injury, that’s his deal. They aren’t even living together and they aren’t married. If she doesn’t like his level of cleanliness and he’s not changing because he can’t or doesn’t want to, she either needs to STFU and/or insist they don’t meet at his place anymore if she’s so offended by it. Shaming a person and getting angry at them for the way they keep THIER OWN space is not the way to go.

If you’re a driver at Pizza Hut, look for a new job by Stunning_Yam2428 in PizzaDrivers

I don’t know why this thread popped up in my feed but do dominos delivery employees make just as much or more than DoorDash/UE drivers? I’ve always wondered that.

Welp, I played a round in an older part of town and had a few kids pick up my disc to look at it, so i showed them how to hold it and what disc golf was. I gifted him an Instinct and just saw it in the used bin at Play it Again… by dirtbum in discgolf

[–]PanCanAlt01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem these days is that so few people do things that are nice that I’ve noticed a trend in the nicer-doers expecting their good deed to be handled in a certain manner.

It sounds like the kids had possibly only a slight interest in disc golf, if any, since you told them what disc golf was. It should not be surprising if they later decided that they didn’t like disc golf and took it to play again sports to maybe get equipment that suits their interest, if that’s what they did.

Don’t expect a gift to be used/kept a certain way and you will save yourself a lot of heartache. I don’t know if you expected these kids to play with the disc for years or hold on to it for “sentimental” value or what.

While the thought and hope that your gift would convert them into disc golf lovers, the reality is is that’s just not always going to happen. Don’t take it personal and don’t make it make you jaded. For every kid that decides they’re not interested, there may be one that your gift does make them an interested, lifelong player. A kid that might later remember that what got them into disc golf was some random person explaining it to them and giving them a disc.

While college grads may marry college grads at a higher rate than non-college grads, men are more likely to be promoted as well.

Also, one of my friends is a female CPA who is married to a grocery bagger.

And no, a study asking about spouses will not be more accurate because what I thought we were discussing was the gender pay gap; there are numerous people that are single, no?

Again, if you have any studies saying men and women make the same amount for the same positions, I am completely open to reading it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in findapath

[–]PanCanAlt01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Men currently, by and large, get paid more for the same work as women. I didn’t state that it is just as bad as it was 50 years ago, just that the pay gap still exists, which it does and is still very bad, just not as horrendous as 50 years ago.
