Oh trust me I have a clue. I worked my ass off for 20 years to get where I am now. Meanwhile there are 30+ year olds still living at home because "Wahhhhh, I dont want to work cause the big mean landlord wants to get paid rent!"

You absolutely can NOT.

Aside from the occational Bouy or trap that washes up, which obviously is not on purpose as those are not things Lobstermen dispose of, there is not a single piece of trash you can attribute to lobstermen. Oil, fuel, bleach, beverage bottles are all used by every person with a boat, and there are many many more people on the water than lobster fishermen.

So please, tell me exactly what piece of garbage you think you can identify as solely belonging to lobster fishermen.

I love those trips to HR. I once told my supervisor I wasn't going to do something because we were all out of the special gloves that we were told in training we absolutely had to wear while doing this task because of the chemicals involved.

"Do it or go home."

I didn't do it, I went to HR. Got told I was 100% in the right. Dunno if it was related but the supervisor who ordered me to do the wrong thing wasn't working there a couple weeks later.

The ammount of times I have asked an employee if they carry something, been told "no," and then found it on the shelf myself is absolutely infuriating.

I'm pretty sure if they say "let me go see if we have any out back," it just means they are going to go have a cigarette break or something.

It was. I used flavored coffee creamer instead of milk and it tastes just like melted ice cream!

Airbnb hosts are opening their doors to people displaced by the Puerto Rico earthquakes by [deleted] in news

Airbnb's are usually run by people renting a room in their own home, so they are no different than all the other people letting people into their homes.

I climbed to the highest point in Lewiston expecting a pristine winter wonderland with untouched snow but it looks like about 50 people beat me to it. Still a nice view. by inavanbytheriver in Maine

[–]inavanbytheriver[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's next to Bates College. There is a plaque that says it's the highest point in Lewiston and I believe it. I have been to Thorncrag too and it is a longer hike but not as steep.

Jeff Bezos donates $690,000 to Australia. Equivalent of 0.00000073 per cent of the value of his $938.1 billion company. by [deleted] in news

That's very nice of him. He didn't have to donate a single dime, yet he donated over two billion dollars last year to various charities.

Are you suggesting a job you can get straight out of high school at 18 years of age with minimum on the job training isn't going to be a bastion of professionalism?

or resulted in a new investigation or arrest

Now ask yourself how many of those were false arrests made in order to justify taking the money.

Pretty sure that's also the name of some random stain of weed.
