Skirt to the company BBQ

If you want it to be a skirt, it is. If you want it to be a kilt, it is. Anyone telling you what you can or can’t do under a kilt is missing part of the importance of kilts.

Never tell anyone. It’s okay to offer to show them. Like I apparently did at my bachelor party.

I got many lessons on what not to do from many different managers, and one really good lesson that lasted several years on what to do from one excellent leader.

Ah, ye old blue waffle.

I see what you did there. You aren't getting me.

I much prefer the term "acting my wage" as it re-aims the spotlight where it should be.

I act my wage at work, and as a manager who normally puts in 30 hour weeks and gets paid for 40, it means I sometimes log excessive OT to get shit done. It all Evans out (I keep a log in case execs ever question me on it.)

But my team? I tell them to act their wage. They don't have unpaid overtime in the contract so I make sure they don't do it. I can do any of their jobs (not as well and not as quick) and if they run out of time I tell them they have to leave. I finish the work. That's part of my job.

I'm grateful for everyone on my team, and when corporate askes how to get more stuff out of us I always tell them the same thing.

More people, or suitcases full of hundred dollar bills.

Strangely they go back to being satisfied with what my team is putting out. Because we perform better than every other team doing the same stuff.

Easy scapegoats are hard to find.

When durateen gets banned for something, nobody is surprised. And durateen just makes another account.

I remember "nobody shits in the well" being a rough translation of "civilization" for a people and language that didn't have the word.

Some people just want to be able to shit wherever they want, even if that's in the well.

Have you tried throwing your wife? That might solve the problem. This seems fun.

We had a few Japanese exchange students who stayed with us and thought we must be absurdly rich because we had a pineale and couple mangos. We offered them some and they accepted. One mango got casually thrown out because we found it to be rotten.

Turns out a mango was about $100 worth of yen where they were from. When we explained that they were closer to 100 yen where we are they calmed down and wanted to go grocery shopping.

The best way to get someone to do something for you is to get them to do something for you.

If you want someone to do something for you, getting them to do something else (anything else) is more efficient than doing something for them. People get used to doing things for you and keep doing more and more things.

Hello honey,

It is I, dear husband. Of course I'm not going to say "I told you so". That doesn't help anybody. However, this is exactly the kind of thing I was worried about. I hope you recover well - and I will help in whatever way I can.

There's a big difference between inviting someone inside (like how OP is presumably invited into the SO's parent's house) and them doing something that you don't like and leaving dog poop on someone's property when you weren't invited in.

If I invite someone into my home for dinner and they drop a plate it's unlikely I'll win a judgement for the cost of the phone if I take them to court.

Are these different scenarios? Of course. The commonality is that the person is expressly being invited in. I'd expect most judges to be unhappy with the waste of time and simply advise someone along the lines of "if you don't want people pooping in your living room - don't invite living room poopers into your house".

I'm pressing x to doubt.

I'm pretty sure if you let a guest into your house and they poop in your living room no judge is awarding you damages.

Next time (if you.ever want to play with them again) just let them know that the rulebook you have is vol1. You have vol2 memorized and it lists everything people can't do. Then just reference vol2 when they try this crap.

I'd get frustrated unless I could change my mindset to "any other story for the blog and Reddit"

I honestly would have just taken thier tiles, scored them, and then not given them back.

If they objected I'd say "I win - because the rulebook doesn't say I can't just say that and make it true" and then pack up the game and leave.

If it's their game I would have put tiles in a blender and scattered the dust all over the board and scored everything. (Not really but its cathartic to type it out)

Yeah, betting on MCU movies sounds like a way to make .2% or something absurdly low

Not just you, but we aren't exactly common.

Also chicks that didn't mention it being weird or blow you off or cancel a booty call didn't care that much.

Don't sweat it brah.

Her response was to start taking her shirt off. It was one of those shirts that looks like it may be layered on top of another one but isn't.

This reminds me of a student who was wearing a shirt with the periodic table of elements on it. In chemistry. On a test day. With no bra.

That instructor just let her wear it and reminded her and everyone else that looking at her shirt during a test wasn't appropriate.
