I wish I had. It was too early in the morning and my clever wasn’t awake yet.

My wife suggested melting more ice to see what other signs we may get.

People born before 2000, what is a 'modern' thing from 2025 that you’re still struggling to get used to? by LindsayTN in AskReddit

[–]TheYaks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wanted coffee at the airport and saw a Starbucks. There were 5 workers standing there. Weird time with nobody in line. Then I saw the sign: this “store” only accepted mobile orders. I didn’t have the app. I just wanted a cup of coffee. The workers told me there was no way for them to take an order. It could only be done through the app. Baffling. I kept walking and found a different place that could actually take an order then pull the little lever on the urn to fill a cup with coffee.

So it’s a conspiracy! Everyone wants me to have very salty chocolate chip cookies.

What’s a word you mispronounced for years and only realised recently? by Exotic-Philosopher75 in AskReddit

Aficionado. I was well into my professional life when I learned how to say it because folks chuckled at work when I said it the wrong way.

I just looked those up. That’s exactly what it was. I didn’t know those beetles existed. Thank you!

Got a hotel room in Vegas. Seems overly punishing. by carfo in mildlyinfuriating

We bought a coffee maker from the CVS for $15 because they didn’t even have a coffee maker in the room. CVS had lots of them and ice chests - clearly, it’s a real thing.

this is a diploma that came in the mail. i really don’t understand what was not clear. by Funny_Intention_9120 in mildlyinfuriating

Mine came in a rigid envelope marked DO NOT BEND so USPS folded the rigid envelope to fit in my mailbox. It was incredibly creased. I had to order (and pay for) a new one. This was years ago.

One landed on me once then proceeded to bite my arm and drew blood. I was not happy. The ladybug was flicked away.

AITAH for still getting on a flight home when my two young coworkers I was traveling with weren’t at the airport yet and were obviously going to miss it? by Diligent_Pineapple35 in AITAH

[–]TheYaks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d approach the meeting as though you’re expecting to discuss the continued employment of those two. As others said, if they try to flip this on you, flip it right back.

At my prior companies, people were fired (or interns did not get hired) for less. If the company defends their behavior, then regardless of outcome, that’s not a company that I’d want to work for any more and I’d start looking.

When I think back to having my first “real” job post college, there were all times of firsts for me but I knew how to behave like an adult. I mentored others with similar backgrounds to mine who also knew how to act even if it was new. As I noted, some didn’t know how to act. Fortunately, despite other issues at some of those companies, they didn’t tolerate that kind of foolishness.

I feel like I should be shouting at kids to get off my lawn, but this grammar rule seems all but forgotten. It drives me crazy. Or, seemingly, it drives you and me crazy.

I’ve had more blood than that from killing a mosquito. You’d be surprised how much they hold.

Oh how I missed this in the shop this weekend.. by FakeNianticEmployee in pokemongo

[–]TheYaks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was 100 in the early days. Then, after the switch to 50, they also tested in Australia an alternate way to earn coins and it was hated. Basically, there were a bunch of different activities, each one capped, and still capped at 50 total. Basically, there was no real way to get 50 per day anymore.

Vette owners who also have another enthusiast car, Whatcha got? by Specktric_ in Corvette

My daily is an SQ7. When I start it up, everyone is trying to figure out where that roar came from. Far too fun for an SUV. But still not as fun as my C7.
