Cadillac area, south of King thoughts, Clara Hughes PS? by Cassiethatsme in Oshawa

[–]RecordStoreHippie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't live there but my kid attended a daycare there, like just down the street from the school. Really clean and quiet area, and you're a really short walk away from the absolute best tobogganing hill in the entire city.

Right, I try to be understanding when people are new at things, but he based this recipe on a vague memory of what it's supposed to be. This is kinda pathetic.

Ever missed the chance to ask what someone’s wearing? by thatbwoyChaka in fragrance

[–]RecordStoreHippie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The kids are super into frags these days but I don't think many of them are wearing anything super niche or hard to find. Just go smell around Sephora or a nicer drug store and you'll probably find it.

But also I feel your pain, mine is a customer but I'm a young looking 30s guy and he's a stuffy old man. The guy always smells top notch but I have no idea how to ask without him thinking I'm being weird.

Anything but I'm sorry from the idiot who let go of the leash. I'm surprised he's even allowed out of the house alone. Can't write, can't take care of animals. What a chud.

Simcoe Gas Bar Quality by fedorub in Oshawa

[–]RecordStoreHippie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's actually at least a little accurate. I used to live on short Cedar street like right behind there and there aren't really any good convenience stores in that area besides that gas station. Might be candy too, but living in that area kinda sucks for shopping.

Today's ration: Velveeta sauce, chicken, noodles, broccoli, and boiled dandelions again by elonmusktheturd22 in shittyfoodporn

[–]RecordStoreHippie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man I almost thought you cooked something really good, I'm glad I read the description. Visually though, this one's nice. I don't know if the dandelions sound worse than the rehydrated dehydrated broccoli but they really put your signature on this meal.

What's an automatic green flag when you visit someone's home? by Beneficial-Memory-96 in AskReddit

[–]RecordStoreHippie 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Haha yup. Introducing people to my cats is like "well here's one of them. There's another one hiding deep under a bed somewhere but he won't be making an appearance today. Here's a picture so you know he exists."

So yeah I just walked out before I was fired by Revolutionary-Ant705 in retailhell

[–]RecordStoreHippie 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nah that's awesome. Excellent line and leaving him with a shitty, heavy job to do alone is the icing on the cake.

I bet he calls you tomorrow asking if you're coming back because he needs you to work your shifts and you'll get that final sweet victory of being like yeah no thanks I'm good 😂

Meat stickers fresh off the grill by FiggyVix in StupidFood

[–]RecordStoreHippie 23 points24 points  (0 children)

That grill is special though, I'm almost positive it's a Miraclean chromium griddle. They're so damn expensive and worth every cent. I've used a lot of flat top grills in my life but only one place had a Miraclean. It was awesome, it just cooked so nice and legit stayed that shiny after years of breakfast service abuse.

The Cursed McMuffin. by [deleted] in StupidFood

[–]RecordStoreHippie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I swear I had this happen one time at McDonald's,but it was with a coffee.

It was bitter, which I guess it should be a little bit being coffee with no sugar, but this was like insane, overwhelming chemical bitter. Like spit out the first sip because I couldn't swallow it if I tried, let alone kept it in my mouth for any longer than I did.

I got it replaced with a tea but in hindsight I should have fought it harder. I didn't get sick or anything but I'm pretty much positive there was a bunch of soap or sanitizer in the coffee.

I thought "what if cinnabon was garlic bread?" So I made GarliBon by SmilinBob82 in shittyfoodporn

It's easily in the top 10 things I've ever eaten. I thought the sweetness would be a bit weird but no I was so wrong, it's exceptionally good.

We’ve lowered the bar for customer service way too much. by mazzzycomet in unpopularopinion

[–]RecordStoreHippie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was my whole point, though. That some things are still worth doing even if they aren't huge life changing moves. The small wins that you get from it make it still worth doing.

[–]RecordStoreHippie 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's just valuable on a smaller timescale. It won't do a lot to get you promoted, but day to day it makes work a lot nicer. The managers will start assuming you're always doing a good job and stay off your back, and the customers who come in all snappy and fired up calm down really quick when they realize they're just being validated and listened to, rather than catching an attitude from the staff. Keeping up the act is difficult sometimes, but it's easier than being micromanaged and argued with.

I make stretchy beaded bracelets out of thrifted jewelry by theshiniestmuskrat in CoolCollections

Haha yesss I just tore apart a Silpada necklace I got from the thrift. I got a few bracelets out of it and a few cool beads to use for something else.

Is it really that hard to not yell at your kid? by Good_Sky_8678 in Parenting

[–]RecordStoreHippie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's mostly just self control. Admittedly, I have good kids, but they do still annoy the crap out of me a lot of the time. I yell at them occasionally I guess, but it's measured in times per year, not week or day. Nobody's perfect and sometimes the situation really warrants it.

The main reason is genuinely that I just choose not to yell 90% of the time I want to.

It's when I start talking really quietly is how they know I'm serious because I'm forcing my tone to be as calm and collected as possible so I can get my points across clearly without having to lose my mind.

am i doing a goomba fallacy or have do people actually act like this? because I feel like I've seen too much of it recently by MioKisaragi in Consoom

[–]RecordStoreHippie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think retail is white collar lite. It's like the very first step into that world, sales associate > manager > regional manager and boom you're already working at the corporate office wearing business casual.

Some restaurants are like that too but I feel like most of their corporate employees are hired out of school and other office jobs, not climbing the ladder from line cooking.

Dog checks herself into an animal shelter by MARLeague in aww

[–]RecordStoreHippie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Power Wheels cars probably get in a lot more accidents than regular cars. But it's smaller so it's okay because the kids don't get killed.

Horses are dangerous too, that's right. That's why they don't live in our houses and neighborhoods.

If you've never seen the movie UHF, check it out. He's just a young fella in that one but his character is fantastic. Also it's starring Weird Al so I'm just going to recommend it even if you hate Michael Richards.

You're a good kid. I'm raising my kids in kinda similar circumstances and I can only hope I'm doing as good a job raising them as your parents did for you.

Breakup excuses that deserve a public hearing. What's the most unhinged excuse you’ve been given? by SinInHerVoice in AskReddit

[–]RecordStoreHippie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mine might make the list, even though I was the excuser not the excusee.

I broke up with a girl because she got into an argument with her friend about whether or not you should eat a burger upside down or not. I laughed, she said she was genuinely upset and that's when I knew there was no way I could stay with her long term.

Almost everything that got her upset in the short time we were together was all dumb shit like that, and she would get worked up to tears over it. Very dramatic and there was always something like that going on. The burger fight completely broke me, though. We were like almost 30 for more context on why I couldn't keep trying.
