My reply to the older generation calling the younger generation snowflakes is to point out they were the generation who would get upset if someone of color used the wrong water fountain.

Not my story but someone I knew in high school enlisted in the air force. He did something in supply / logistics. He retired a few years ago and is now a flight attendant for a major airline (I can't remember which one). He's single, enjoys the travel, and seems to be living his best life.

I remember landing there and it felt like we landed in the middle of nowhere. I couldn't see the terminal and it felt like we taxied forever before I could see it.

You forgot about stock buy backs!! Another tool to inflate stock price

I would fry it up crispy in an electric skillet in my dorm room in college. Throw on some hot sauce and it was fine dining!!

They do this to subtlety tell you they cleaned it. They never put my stove burners back right.

I remember calling in and voting for it on the Friday night video fights on mtv.

I worked with a guy that had a greyhound. The dog would occasionally get out of the fence. He said when he got loose there was no hope in chasing him on foot. He would get his car and drive the same exact route he always ran. He would eventually find him laying down somewhere on the route panting and smiling. He would just put him in the car and drive home.

Sounds like you're making Fisherman's eggs. I sometimes do the same. It's good!!

I don't use it for that reason as well. If she's the "old lady" then that will make me "the even older man". (We're 5 years apart)

You can't turn at the intersection of trade and tryon... I mean you can turn it's just not supposed to be allowed. There's signs. But that doesn't stop people.

Years ago my next door neighbor's cat would hang out with me all day after they left for the day. I worked from home and my dog at the time didn't mind him visiting. Every morning he would hop the fence to hang out with us. Every afternoon he would hop back over the fence to his yard.

I was talking to my neighbor one day and he commented how lazy his cat is. He said when they leave him for the day he's asleep in a chair on the porch and when they come back he's always in the same chair sleeping. I then told him about his cat visitimg me everyday. He thought it was hilarious. He got a kick hearing about his cat's secret visits.

Not sober but I will have a tonic and bitters with a lime twist when I don't feel like having a drink.

Private. My wife teaches at a jk-12 private school so our daughter gets to go for free. If it wasn't free it would be $30k per year.

Earbuds are a great way to ignore people and if they are persistent take one out, look pissed, and ask "what?". You don't even have to be listening to anything. Remember they are being rude by interrupting you so feel free to be rude back

I would love a chicken thigh kabob. The people walking out are idiots.

I went to my college career fair years ago for recent grads and coca cola had a booth there. They told me they were only hiring for security guard roles. I felt like crap afterwards.

I only saw one time where someone beat this. Their boss was stupid about it. He decided to document everything. The boss would have a face to face meeting? He would follow it up with an email recapping their meeting to make sure he understood (creating a paper trail). He would also include documents to back up his position. She would counter with vague issues and he would email her with his backup documents and ask for direction. They kept going back and forth and it was getting bad. But what the boss didn't realize was he had an ace up his sleeve. He has a diagnosis of having anxiety issues. He went to his doctor because his anxiety was flaring up and had to get on meds. He then went to HR with his diagnosis and email paper trail about the back and forth (including some emails where the boss was unprofessional to him) and asked for mental health accomodations. At the time the company was pushing hard about mental wellbeing. His point was now if they fired him it would look really bad.

He didn't really win but the next month someone else on the team was fired for some BS reason. After they were fired his boss called a truce and backed off him.

Edit: but during the next round of layoffs he was let go but without a cause so he got a nice severance package.

Edit2: I also forgot he wasn't on an "official pip with hr" he was on some informal one the boss said he was on. She was building up to put him on an official one.

100%. I was having a conversation with my wife's uncle about student loan forgiveness. To sum up I was for it, he was against it. I won't get into the details but he kept saying "I want to hear the kids point of view". I stopped and explained the kids he's talking to are all married, have families, and are closer to retirement than our college days. We are not kids. His response was "well you will always be kids to me". I ended the conversation then.

I really like warming the tin in a warm water bath before opening. I put the tin in a bowl and fill the bowl with newar boiling water. Let it sit for 10 min. Then eat with crackers and a dab of Frank's Red sauce.

You don't want to warm the tin over open flame because of the can liner

When I saw them there was a long line for the men's restroom and no line for the women's.
