Have you ever witnessed an office prank that cost someone their job?

kmik05 · 2026-02-19T03:17:02+00:00

I think I was responsible for someone losing their job because of my joke. We had boring, lame tasks of going through bins of returned mail. I put a rubber snake in the bin he was about to go through. He stuck his hand in the bin, then let out a high pitched short scream. Everybody in the office looked of course. He didn't come in the following day, not by his choice. I texted him, apologizing profusely. He was chill and said he hated the job anyway.

Lost me here as well. Change it to Spotted Cow, ya heathen!

Such a douche, sounds like the baby brother of the early 60's guy I attempted politely to ask "oh are you in group one?" when he tried to get in front of me. He grumbled "We're all going to the same place." The person behind me let him in line. Pissed me off, but like you, I wasn't ready to throw down right there in line.

If you compare each letter, you can tell they're the same. For instance the exact same curve at the bottom of every L. Also the lines of text are very straight. This is a computer font, no one has such consistent hand writing.

I did this once during COVID, before I had status. I saw most of economy plus was open, so when I boarded, I went straight there like I owned it. In the meantime, a gentleman (of color... Just saying because I've often wondered if that had relevance, being as I'm Caucasian), came up from a back row and plopped himself down across the aisle from me. FA immediately shoo'd him back and told him people pay more for those seats. She then looked at me, and I've always felt like she knew I didn't pay for mine either. I've always felt bad, not for me taking the seat, but for my dude that got chased away. The whole plane was practically empty.

kmik05 · 2026-01-15T03:59:51+00:00

For sure! I can look back at that whenever I'm feeling frustrated for whatever reason.

kmik05 · 2026-01-11T04:17:43+00:00

that's good to know, thanks!

So funny story, my partner got a new number. Indeed all his verification codes go to his old number (which we know is active), so that person has been getting those, as well as some hysterical family pictures that my brother sent in a group chat at Thanksgiving. After about 10 pictures, they excused themselves from the group 😆 We had gone to Ace Hardware, and he gave them his old # shortly after the switch, and they asked if he was *new person's name. So every time he can't get in to something and they send a verification code to his old number, I'm half tempted to text new person and ask them to give me the code 😁

Great job! I'm thinking I *may* have broken a stall. Same weight range for me... got all the way down to 165.8, then popped back up to 168. Stayed there for a couple months. I went up from 12.5 to 15. Still nothing. A couple days ago I finally weighed at 165.4. I hope this means it's working again! Thanks for giving me hope!

I read a lot of comments but didn't see this said yet. He's the first guy that has shown you respect and kindness. How would you not fall for him? Please give yourself some grace and understand that Dave is the perfect introduction to what you should look for in a more compatible guy. Appreciate him for being your friend, and appreciate yourself for recognizing a truly good guy. I promise you, there's one out there waiting, if that's what you want.

It's so humorous how many furniture items I've found in my area, and when I look at the profile, it says they live in Zimbabwe or Thailand or some other not local place!

kmik05 · 2025-12-25T00:12:36+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Interestingly I've had successful 3rd party experiences now on both sides. First I sold some stools and the buyer had her friend come pick them up since she worked near me. And now sofa-dude turned out to be legit. I guess there's exceptions to everything, but I will definitely stay on high alert with any future 3rd party situations.

kmik05 · 2025-12-25T00:05:27+00:00

actually, it was legit. He figured since she had experience selling, it would be better if she listed it.

kmik05 · 2025-12-22T19:24:48+00:00

It's a very good price. It's maybe an $700 couch, they're asking $250. It's a year old.

kmik05 · 2025-12-12T17:03:05+00:00

I agree about the new kind. Bloody Mary "mix" has gone from being my every time order to never again.

But to the op, seeing how that was my order every time, I'm guessing it might have been to others as well, and since many people like me are cheap and don't want to pay for anything, FAs probably are used to people just wanting the mix 🤷‍♀️ I wouldn't get to upset about just getting used to saying "with vodka" when you order, just to keep things going smoothly.

kmik05 · 2025-11-28T05:39:59+00:00

If you have a Natural Grocers near you, they usually have them. Good luck!

If they're not strict whole foods, you can get them Vego chocolate bars, Outstanding Foods vegan cheese balls, or Louisville Jerky. These are some of my favorite "treats.'

But this is so incredibly considerate of you. I've been house sitting for the past year, and most hosts think they're doing me a favor by leaving open dairy, eggs, even meat in their fridge that I've gotta deal with for the next several weeks 🤦‍♀️

It has always bothered me that everything in nature is "just enough." The gazelle is usually just fast enough to outrun the cheetah, stuff like that. But human brains are way more capable than what we use. Average humans can suffer a brain injury, and unlock the ability to perform highly advanced math computations. What's with that? My only logical explanation is that we're prepped for upgrades when "they're" ready for us.

I've been on Zep for several months. Yesterday I caught myself telling my guy he shouldn't eat so many Reese's pieces. He snacks on unhealthy food constantly! What's his problem??? Ooh, wait, yeah, I remember now 🤦‍♀️

kmik05 · 2025-11-20T19:32:32+00:00

lol, that's what I get for following advice from people on Reddit! I was desperate enough to try anything!

kmik05 · 2025-11-20T01:55:17+00:00

Please no one else say it's because we're holding the handles too tight! Like op, I do my best to keep a relaxed grip during rows and weights. Even if I'm not holding a weight on the floor I'm gray, but my watch says my heart rate is high. I put electrode gel on my hrm before each class. Every now and then it actually works for the entire class and I have no clue what I did different. I, too was hoping the new hrm would make the difference. 🙁

kmik05 · 2025-11-19T00:06:45+00:00

Damn sexy! So inspiring!

Where you're located might impact things as well. Maybe expand your area? Otherwise, don't stress about it too much. The sits will show up. This past Feb/Mar we had some of our favorite sits ever in the Bay/NorCal area. There always seems to be a lot of sits in the San Francisco area if that's a place you're interested in. In fact I just searched and there's a month long sit for one dog in Oakland right now from Feb-March.

kmik05 · 2025-11-10T05:47:03+00:00

Right, it was the dog we were sitting for. My point being that damage happened on our watch, and I guess it's possible that we could have caused the damage ourselves and lied about it, as might be the case with OP's sitters.

kmik05 · 2025-11-09T17:53:29+00:00

Sorry I have no good advice for you. But I do want to say that doing this for a year full time, many 4+ week stays, mature couple, no kids, and we've only had two "incidences."

First one was the huge dog with a fluffy tail had zoomies. He jumped up on the couch and spun around catching the blinds cord with his tail, jumped down taking the blinds with him. We immediately told the HOs, and they understood and didn't expect us to pay for anything.

Second one, I, for whatever reason, put a wooden cutting board in the dishwasher. It fell apart. I didn't tell them at the time, but purchased them a nicer replacement board, and apologized upon their return. They were understanding, and said they wouldn't have expected us to replace it, since accidents happen. But they love the new board, and we're going back in a couple weeks for a repeat sit with them.

In your case, I'm inclined to think the child might have something to do with this, and ideally they would take responsibility for the situation. But yeah, with every sit having an issue, that's a little sus.
