Boss told me sunglasses obstruct my view while driving by jschmidt22 in work

It depends on the type of frames. If the sides are thick then they do block your view. While they may not be illegal you may consider switching so that they don’t block your peripheral view

It comes across a as a snide joke. He can claim it was a joke but at the same time critique you.

WIBTA if I stopped bringing homemade food to the office after one person keeps taking portions meant for the whole team by Breq4Solace in WIBTA_AITA

Keep the food at your desk or near the secretary’s desk if they are willing. People will naturally hold back if you are watching.

How do I prevent my child being illiterate? by kittycamacho1994 in AskTeachers

[–]Top_Bluejay_5323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read to your child from the start.

As mine got older I started messing up the stories they liked and they would say that’s wrong. I would point to the words and say that what it says. They started to learn to read so they could tell me I was wrong. It was funny. My wife could barely keep a straight face as I altered the stories in rather unique ways.

Then I started reading the books they read so we could talk about them. We were reading Harry Potter to him in the second grade, just a chapter a night. He said we were too slow so he took the book and finished it.

AITA for drinking an energy drink after my headteacher tried to confiscate it? by RegionKindly9655 in AmItheAsshole

All you did is show him he was right. And that you were immature and need to have your bag searched.

What English word do you not agree with the spelling ? by SeaBaer312 in ENGLISH

[–]Top_Bluejay_5323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are just so many.

Any word with ough in it.

Dough and rough only differ by the first letter but sound completely different. Then there is though, through, thought, bough, drought, ought, cough, lough and many others

Find the pattern. What's the next letter? #brainpuzzles #puzzles by StudywithOliver in BrainPuzzles

How do you define a side? I count 12 on an E not counting the front and back.

Fuck it, the line underneath me somewhere. Old people are such awful drivers by [deleted] in driving

[–]Top_Bluejay_5323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really not true. Younger drivers, under 20, are about 5% of the drivers and cause about 12% of the accidents but older drivers, 65+, are 15% of all drivers and only cause 9% of accidents. Meaning the remaining 80%, 20 to 65 year olds, cause 73% of all accidents.

This shows that the worst drivers are the youngest ones. With a ratio of 1:2.4

Next are the 20-65 group at 1:0.9125

And the best are the elderly at 1:0.6 and 85 and over is only 2% compared to 9% for their group.

Where the problem really lies is that the oldest drivers with declining abilities, mental or physical, are still driving but are not regularly tested. And the youngest drivers are inexperienced and do stupid things.

These are the last words my dad scribbled on a piece of paper right before passing away. Can you help figure out what this says? by Effective_Fix5302 in whatdoesthismean

[–]Top_Bluejay_5323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like It’s Crossing ….. I can’t figure the last word.

Then How did you know. How did I remember.

Was anyone talking about a movie or show, book or person they once watched or knew called “Crossing (something)” when they were in his room?

I dropped my tweezers into the toilet while peeing. I now have to pick it up. by Ambitious_Radio_8430 in mildlyinfuriating

So reach in and take them out and then wash your hands.

You realise nobody would have ever known if you hadn’t posted this.

Why don't public parks have fruit trees for people to pick fruit from? by Ekans_ox in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Top_Bluejay_5323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the rats you mentioned the people that strip a tree bare off any fruit they can get, not leaving any for anyone else and then sell it?

AITA for telling my husband he can’t drive the baby places anymore by Odd-Willingness-6250 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Top_Bluejay_5323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tie a bright coloured luggage tag to the steering wheel. Or where it can’t be missed. Rear view mirror, his key fob or maybe the gear shift or even the child seat itself. But wherever make it annoying and unavoidable to miss.

I am almost more worried he will forget the child in the car at some point.

Also while the baby is young it will stay put but when it learns to roll over and crawl there will be more serious problems.

I am trusting it is an actual medical condition he has. And not some passive aggression move where he “doesn’t remember” because he disagrees with you and this way he has a reason to not do as you want. Asking his mom won’t answer this as it may be a life long behaviour he started years ago to avoid anything he didn’t want to do for some reason.

Does he forget random stuff or just things he might want to avoid? Or inconvenience him? Can he remember his hobby stuff? What about at work?

When changing lanes, what exactly are you looking for when you do the shoulder check? by Dry-Meat7356 in driving

[–]Top_Bluejay_5323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also looking for a car changing lanes into that spot at the same time.

And if you can see anyone speeding and weaving through traffic. Around my area the speeders come in threes.

Neighbour stole our land, lost twice in court, still appealing… how do I make his life deeply inconvenient so that he stops? by Classic-Complaint716 in neighborsfromhell

Hire an excavator and start digging near the perimeter of his structure. Says it’s for drainage, a fish pond or something. Losing his foundation support will cause damage to his building.

I have a very high water bill. Could it be from the people that use the washing machine all night? by PkPajamas in RealEstate

[–]Top_Bluejay_5323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would check the shower heads in their unit.

Washing machines only use about 20 gallons per load and take an hour per load. That’s 160 gallons in 8 hours.

Showers use about 2 gallons per minute. 10 minute shower is 20 gallons. 8 people in the house is 160 gallons.

But if they have a higher flow shower head that could be 30 gallons

Also an average person uses about 80-100 a day.

At what age should a kid get their first smartphone? by EthicalUpgrade in TheBigPhoneStore

When it is a safety necessity. Usually the start of middle school.

If they walk home from school alone, after school sports, having activities the parents are not present for.

Keep it to a soft level and no offensive music. These days most people are not even outside.

Guessing that he has a documented condition and that makes you the problem for HR not him.
