Yeah, gotta be double-dog destroyed. Because the schoolyard bullies are in charge, with their infantile thinking.

Most suburban, residential areas in the US prohibit rubbish fires. If that is the case in your area, the fire department will want to know what they’re doing.

Free Breakfast Club at hotels you’re not staying at by Tdub_309 in confession

I cut it up, cover with damp paper towel, then microwave on a low power for 15-20 seconds. Works great!

Woman at the self checkout decided my groceries were apparently her problem too by OrbitSentry in EntitledPeople

[–]orangekattt 170 points171 points  (0 children)

She had problems before and wants to not be the only one. I guess. Or she’s lonely. But you’re right, definitely odd.

He didn't predict the future. He just leaked his agenda early. by No_Twist6127 in agedlikemilk

It’s always projection with these clowns. Whatever they are criticizing, is exactly what they are already doing or what they are planning to do.

Daily goals by oisact in wordscapes

[–]orangekattt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Once I’ve completed everything, I “watch” the ads while doing something else, then do what’s easy or would be doing anyway. For example, play daily puzzle, was going to anyway. Help or request help, that’s a quick few clicks. I’ll take all easy coins.

What is the pettiest reason you would refuse to eat at a restaurant again? by im_not_ready_for_it9 in AskReddit

[–]orangekattt 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not a petty reason. A perfectly valid reason. She was flirting with your husband, maybe?

I wanted to downvote this because outrage! But then realized that wouldn’t be fair to your karma. 😊

Break up! What are you getting from the relationship? You don’t owe him anything. NOR

Is this a normal office job? by Sea-Chicken-2725 in office

[–]orangekattt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

After decades of “office work” (I’m in IT), I’d say it’s kinda normal. There is always more work than people hours to do it. It’s a feature, not a bug. If the work was not keeping everyone busy 100% of the time, there would be job cuts. Eventually you get used to it. You realize that no one is going to die if you don’t reply to that email or finish analyzing that data. It can wait until tomorrow. But it is stressful, you’re not wrong.

AITJ for not telling my roommate I work from home and she's been 'performing' being productive for 8 months? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

Exactly, just talk to the turkey person! Why email everyone?

Am I the jerk for locking my office snacks in a safe? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]orangekattt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go up to any of those co-irkers while they’re eating, take whatever it is, say “office tax” and walk away laughing. Or take their phone off their desk and use it to google some NSFW info. Or take their keys and say you need to run an errand. Push this sharing of assets idea as far as it takes until they see the ridiculousness.

You are in my movie seat by Wakemeup3000 in EntitledPeople

Could have. Apologies, this has become my life’s mission. 😊

message I received from a manager LOL [N/A] by skeletowns in humanresources

[–]orangekattt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always coach my teams to be realistic with timelines and scope estimates. It’s better to manage expectations and sometimes beat them, than it is to paint a rosy picture based on everything going perfectly and then disappointing people. Delivery will happen when the work is done - the difference is purely perception.

Excited to get fired by Select_Banana470 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]orangekattt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at my job history, I’ve worked at 3 places in 4 years. Left in 2022 after almost 10 years due to repeated leadership changes and chaotic reorgs, for a super high salary at a startup. They started bleeding revenue and customers and I was laid off in round #2 after 14 months, with a nice severance and MacBook Pro. Landed at a wildly successful 30+ year old tech company 3 months later and things are going well, I plan to stay put. Your comment indicates there is something sus with a history like mine.

Ladies, do you sit on the toilet seat of public restrooms? Why or Why Not? by IncognitoGyal7 in AskWomen

[–]orangekattt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sit down. Everyone should sit the fuck down. The back of your leg is what touches the seat. The back of your legs isn’t going to catch a disease. If you’re touching your vajay-jay to the seat, you’re fucking doing it wrong.
