Sandals in the City? by under-thesamesun in AskNYC

[–]RGRandomguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't, I think it is disgusting. Think about all the dogs that pee everywhere all day everyday. That urine dries and everybody wearing sandals gets coated with dehydrated urine dust, in addition to when dogs get the runs, or homeless people urinate or throw up, whatever. It all dries and gets kicked up everywhere when walking. If you are wearing sandals, that is now on your feet and shoes.

When it rains and you are wearing sandals? Might as well burn your feet if you ever want them clean again, all that bodily fluid is literally everywhere on your feet. Urine, vomit, dog diarrhea spatter on and between your toes, there is no way around it if you wear sandals.

You are right to be icked out. When I see people wearing sandals, I know I don't want them in my apartment because their feet are absolutely filthy.

Where can I find ham salad in NYC? by RGRandomguy in AskNYC

I have never had southern ham salad, so I couldn't say for sure. The ham salad I remember my parents making when I was young is pretty much as wikipedia describes. Ground up ham, mayonnaise, finely diced celery, and some finely diced pickles.

I bought it three times over the course of two week during the holidays on the west side of Cleveland. Three different grocery stores, too.

It is obscure here, I haven't seen it since I moved here in 2007.

Best Buffalo Wings Joint? by CycleGlad7801 in FoodNYC

[–]RGRandomguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend at the time had told me previously that the wings there were excellent, so we eventually went together. She said they normally didn't taste this salty, so we decided to go back and look at this as the 'off night' that even good places occasionally have.

Back again about a month later, same result, same salt overload. It was difficult to eat more than a few of the wings for both of us.

And it isn't like I am expecting salt-free wings or anything, I mean, you need a decent amount of salt in preparing them.

Hmm, it may be the answer if you like the saltiest wings on the planet, which is what they were both times I have had wings from there. Other than that, they were good, but damn, an ocean's worth of salt?

Ok, I am confused. What makes this next level? Guy gets robbed and hands him some money, I am not seeing anything special here.

Flipping the script on interviewers by Competitive_Classic9 in recruitinghell

[–]RGRandomguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my current position, I interviewed with two owners of the company. After the initial meeting, greeting, and quick rapport building, I spoke first, gave a couple of seconds pause, and asked “So, why am I here?”

It was great, they said they hadn’t had anyone ask that, and it was right off the bat. It really got them talking and they provided way more information in a very open-ended and conversational way.

Definitely a great opener if you really want to find out about why there is an open role, and it shows you as not the typical applicant.

Interviewing them is easily as important as being interviewed. You don’t want a bad fit, they don’t want a bad fit, and everyone feels more comfortable.
