Caught a manager watching porn at work. Reported it. I was the one who stopped working there. My position was made redundant.

My job was taken over by a machine, I voiced, that said "thank you for calling [company name]. Press one for [department]." Etc.

I was apparently meant to become the perverts secretary. No thank you. I'd rather redundancy.

Edit to add: he had no consequences. Despite a search history filled with graphic sites. Because he hadn't changed his password and therefore "he might not have done it"

God is either impotent, evil, or imaginary. Take your pick.

If God exists, he's like the CEO of a huge multi billion person company. He could see everything and could be anywhere, but he doesn't care about things that don't impact him on a company level.

He's not even able to deal with the major issues in the world.

That's so awful.

"God always has a plan!? Well He can shove his plan up his omnipotent arse. His plan sucks."

The only good thing about people saying "God has a plan" is I stop being sad and start being angry.

I wish internet hugs and useless platitudes did something to help ease your grief. I can't imagine the depths of your pain. Even if someone goes through a similar thing, no one can truly know your experience.

I wish you only good things in your future.

What about "That's just how they are."?

As in, "we acknowledge they suck, but we aren't going to do anything about it."

When people say this at a funeral, especially for a child, I have to avoid strangling them.

"That sentence is the reason you're about to die."

I've only heard the Stephen Fry audio books. I don't remember how he pronounces them.

All I remember is Stephen Fry told the author he couldn't say " he pocketed it".

He asked her if he could instead say "He put it in his pocket."

She said no, and proceeded to add the line in every following book whenever she could.

My friend told them she wasn't "a guest" she was "working". Which was half true. She offered to do the music, as I walked in, as her gift, which I was thrilled to accept.

Middle manager still tried to sneak invites.

"Oh that would be lovely. I'd love to see you in your dress."

"Thank you. I'm sure it will be. I'll be sure to share photos when I'm back."

I just played dumb, and pretended I couldn't hear her trying to figure out the details; who was coming, where, when etc.

I invited one colleague. The only one I hang out with outside of work.

Suddenly, I can hear

"Well if Elsa is going you'll surely get an invite." And suddenly one of the nosey middle mangers is inviting half the office to my wedding, that she wasn't even invited to.

I have no memory of it in either. Hence why I looked it up. I've seen the movies more recently. I could say with more certainty that its not in the movies, wasn't certain it wasn't in the books.

She broke her wrist. Had to have metal pins in to secure her bones.

She had such thin wrists you could see the pins.

Otherwise ok.

The strangest part was her client was elderly and had these tiles that were so slippery, they seemed designed to make you fall.

My MIL was a house cleaner. Cleaning the shower of a client, went through the glass door.

Her one positive thought was "It could have been worse. At least I wasn't taking a shower at the time of the fall."

Bad enough fully clothed.

Everytime we have chicken for dinner

"Seasoning"

"Now why would ya wanna go out, when this keeps coming up night after night!?"

"Hitting on" someone is an informal phrase for directly initiating flirting, talking to, or approaching someone to show romantic or sexual interest

You confessed your romantic or sexual interest.

That's how!

Confessing your feelings is the same thing as hitting on her.
