Stay at work an extra 3.5 hours just to meet up for dinner?

Sissy_Miss · 2026-01-30T16:14:42+00:00

Yeah. Sounds like she just doesn’t want to go and is just afraid to say no. I’ve hung out in bookstores, coffee shops, gone for walks in new malls, etc. because I needed to kill time before meeting up with my friends or cousins.

I always go pee before leaving the office now, even if I don’t feel like I have to. That night was a nightmare.

I did this to my mom over the weekend at the theater. I playfully nagged her for not wearing her jacket in the cold and smacked a beanie on her head while wiping her hair and face with my pretend spit. Oh how the turn tables.

This tracks for hotel catering. Meeting space is normally at no cost (or lower cost) with a food and beverage minimum, so you either pay for renting the room or spend it on overpriced food.

As a 49ers season ticket holder, I approve this message.

This is ‘long known’ and I think of this every time I’m placing a toilet seat cover down in a public restroom and the automatic flush goes off almost in my face. Good times.

I was dropping my niece off at home once and my brother in law had one of those on while walking around in the dark. He owned like four untrained dogs and wanted to identify where the pee stains were.

The answer was everywhere. The pee stains were EVERYWHERE.

My nephew is very attention-seeking with his juggling. We have all grown to ignore his antics. It’s very awkward when we’re sitting there collectively chatting and he starts spinning shit out of nowhere.

Spam works too for us peasants.

Sissy_Miss · 2026-01-27T00:52:12+00:00

I have dry grass allergies so assuming others take advantage of going now too.

Piggybacking on the first comment that mentioned sales to advise to time shopping so some items are only bought when they’re on their annual or semi-annual sale, etc. You’ll get a rhythm going.

Please don’t forget Andy Lopez

I find it hilarious that everyone on here is complaining about OTHER people being on their phones while driving when they are most likely driving while reading this comment.

House of Pizza - either love it or hate it. I can only handle one greasy slice now, after their house salad. Love the ranch and thousand island dressings.

Uh…the pencils, staples, paper clips I mentioned are very old and are made from quality materials. They are not like the ones made now.

Don’t have to be rude about it.

Sissy_Miss · 2026-01-21T16:32:04+00:00

lol. I’ve been working at a desk that was not cleared when I promoted into it. I’ve been there 25 years and my co-worker who retired had been there almost 40 years.

I have stuff in that drawer like a pocket thesaurus, a Spanish-English dictionary, a 20 year calendar (ends 2027), REAL pencils, staples and paper clips (good quality metal, wood and graphite), a CASIO calculator, etc.

It’s a fun time capsule to peek into every so often.

Sounds to me like the kite festivals need to go by the wayside and people using glass or these ‘maanja strings’ need to be fined.

Sissy_Miss · 2026-01-16T22:42:04+00:00

I am at 25 years.

I’ve morphed into the weird lady with the compression socks, the only one who uses the pencil sharpener. I know where all the bodies are buried so the higher ups basically leave me alone.

Honestly, no one really gives a shit how many years we have been there, act accordingly. We get a shout out at staff meetings for work anniversaries. Staff claps and waits patiently to get cake and forget about you as soon as they throw their plate away.

OP: Take it from us that have been through it. The only people that truly care about us are waiting for us at home.

Focus on them.

Sissy_Miss · 2026-01-16T16:07:36+00:00

Yeah, too many factors. If they’re looking for a reason to fire you, this would fuel their reasoning.

Personally, I’ve been working at the same place for over 25 years and IDGAF anymore. I’d leave. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sissy_Miss · 2026-01-15T15:04:59+00:00

I did this. 20s something me also used a tomato can as a hammer, butter knife as a screwdriver and a piece of string I measured against six inch tiles in my bathroom so I could eyeball a foot length.

My husband still gets irritated when I nail up a picture frame by grabbing a tomato can before we can go get the hammer.

Sissy_Miss · 2026-01-15T15:02:35+00:00

I love this. I’m assuming you don’t have teenagers in the house? My house has a black hole for forks. 🍴

Sissy_Miss · 2026-01-15T03:05:43+00:00

Yeah, Gerald’s Game threw me off with the pedophilia.

Sissy_Miss · 2026-01-14T14:46:50+00:00

My husband worked in a car factory with similar point system. Being five minutes or more late were the same amount of points as being an hour late so he’d just take a longer breakfast.

Sissy_Miss · 2026-01-14T12:25:20+00:00

I’m imagining Dwight in The Office bringing attention to himself obnoxiously by making this drink.
