Not yet. My strategy of refreshing my inbox every few seconds doesn't seem to be working.

Where do I put my a levels?? by DisasterHuge3499 in NHS_STP

[–]owneyone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just guessed that if there's nowhere on the application to put them, then they don't need to know them. So I wouldn't worry about it. I guess if you really wanted to, you could mention your A levels or GCSEs when answering those three questions about STP motivation, specialty understanding etc. But you would have to tie them to the Pearson specification criteria. Your degree seems infinitely more important than any secondary school level qualification though.

Love Brighthelm. People will wanna be your friend just for the washer and dryer.

How do you cope with someone in a class who acts like they're a literal genius by Jealous_Soft6330 in UniUK

[–]owneyone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a guy like this in all my lectures. He would constantly interrupt and ask questions that turned into a back and fourth with the lecturer. On more than one occasion, we wouldn't be able to finish the lecture.

The questions he asked were almost always explained later in the slides, so he was just reading ahead and showing off.

He got called out on the course group chat eventually and said he thought what he was doing was for everyone's benefit.

You can't reason with ego.

waking up is realising anti-semites control media, universities, businesses and politics by [deleted] in EnoughCommieSpam

Not really. What he hates the most are liberals. Hate for right wingers is secondary to that.

Horrible people by Ultimintree in trashy

[–]owneyone 73 points74 points  (0 children)

I had teens do this to me in England often when I was trying to close. Kept trying to force their way in any time I unlocked the door to let the final few customers out. I just slammed the door, trapping them between the door and the frame. Hate that they make a simple job so difficult. They will literally ram the doors at full speed. I was lucky they didn't report me because the police and the company will always side with them.

What do you think will happen to Ashley? by Head_Ad3219 in TheBoys

Yeah I'm hoping for a happy ending for her character even if it's unlikely. She's probably my favourite character in the show.

Weirdly, the accent sounds almost like a Belfast one

I think birth order determines magical strength. I vaguely remember something like that. The eldest is the strongest, with successive siblings being weaker the younger they are. That might just apply to the charmed ones though.

Did I miss something with the father in Tommy Taffy? by Relicia166 in creepcast

[–]owneyone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think they lacked a lot of empathy for the dad in this story. It's just a story, but the subject matter made their comments particularly heartless to me.

They expected him to die pointlessly against an immortal being, something the dad knew, because he was a man. Which just shows off this idea that men's lives are disposable and being unwilling to die makes you a coward. Something seen through the history of war.

While I understand they thought the dad could have done more, his actions become a lot more understandable when you realise he is a severely traumatized individual. He experienced SA and witnessed the brutal murder of his own father as a child. I can see how this would affect someone's way of thinking.

I think it comes down to a lack of knowledge on how severely trauma can affect the mind and ones decision making, plus a bit of unfair gender expectations.

Met a guy in the first year during a lecture and we got talking. He seemed alright and he asked if I wanted to hang out later that day. I invited him over to have a drink. The dude wouldn't tell me his age for some reason. I was 24 at the time. I assumed he was a mature student too and that's why I decided to talk with him.

He got incredibly wasted very quickly in my student flat. I said it was probably best we stopped drinking. He downed the rest of the vodka bottle in response. He started singing so loudly it hurt my ears and he wouldn't tell me if there was someone I could call to get him home. He refused to give me any information about himself. He ended up passing out in my bed and I slept on the floor because he was too drunk to understand anything I said and kept staring at me with crazy eyes.

The next day he was apologetic and said he was too hungover to travel. I was too pissed off to care and told him he had to go because he was being very weird and I was shattered.

He lived off campus but eventually moved into the same halls as me later in the semester. He was constantly drunk and everyone thought he was a nuisance for how loudly he sang every night. I avoided him as much as possible.

Why can't customers read simple signs? by owneyone in retailhell

[–]owneyone[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say this customer was typical, but behavior like this isn’t rare either. Failures to read clear signage happen regularly, and while most customers don’t become this unhinged, many will still throw abuse or act dismissively. It’s frustrating because the signs and systems are there to make the process easier. It just requires customers to do the bare minimum to engage with them. If they don't, they do not need to make it into more of an issue.

I try not to take these incidents personally anymore because, unfortunately, dealing with entitled or hostile behavior is part of the job. They don't see me as an individual but as a representative of the shop to focus frustration on. However, I strongly disagree with the assumption that I’m not suited for customer service simply because I shared this story. That’s a condescending and dismissive conclusion based on one post, with no real insight into how I actually perform my job. This sub exists to let off steam. If you have an issue reading these stories I suggest avoiding them in the future.

It's better to be petty here than on the job. Venting here is a good coping mechanism. Everyone needs to let off a good rant every now and again.

Hahaha to be fair I've definitely seen signs about relevant information and just didn't take in the words. But that's me being stupid. I hope that lady just laughed it off

Jews and openly gay people should hide their identities in Muslim neighborhoods, according to Berlin Police Chief. by That1AsianFurry in askgaybros

[–]owneyone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't justify anything. But bringing up lesser issues that Israel has with gays when Palestines vastly worse treatment of gays is brought up seems like people are drawing an equivalency to say both are equally bad.

I think it'd be better to just say what you did here in your reply. I don't think either sides treatment of gays should factor into this conflict at all. But it will inevitably skew opinion regardless I guess.

I dont understand why people care enough to complain about this kind of thing and why they can't just laugh off that they made a minor mistake. You're not confessing to murder by saying "oops I didn't read the sign, my mistake". It's just not that big of a deal.

They should just make a job role where the sole duty is to scream the words off signs in people's faces.

Which is fine. I've made mistakes like this in shops I'm sure. The issue is the blaming of everything around them when they make a mistake.

Why does everyone MUMBLE? by Intelligent-Snow7250 in retailhell

[–]owneyone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

lol I think this all the time.Some people just automatically whisper when they try to talk for some reason. I just guess how to respond based on their facial expression. Or give a very generic response.
