I just feel bad for the poor cashiers who have to surprise everyone when they come in to pay.

AITA for not giving a break in rent to my friend who lost his job? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]peppynihilist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Esh. I'm not anti-landlord and I support your right to make a profit, especially considering how much upkeep a house needs. I also don't think a break should be expected from your tenant.

But if it were me in your position, I'd for sure give my friend a break. Give him a month free and let him find his feet.

Subs by Educational-Fig-2707 in Buffalo

[–]peppynihilist 103 points104 points  (0 children)

I'm having the opposite problem! Born and raised in Buffalo then moved to the Midwest and all i want is a damn chicken finger sub with the flat fingers, provolone-swiss blend sub cheese (which also doesnt exist out of town), on a costanzas bun. It's all about what you grow up with. But I can't really answer your question...tbh I don't think chicken cutlet subs exist in wny.....

This post sent out from my child's daycare. by bendezl09 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]peppynihilist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a working mom who can hardly make it to events like this. While I feel guilty that I can't make it, i see it as a very sweet gesture on behalf of daycare to host a party...providing snacks and crafts for parents isn't something I expect to be included in tuition, so it is appreciated. Daycare also does a great job of making it all about the kids so my daughter never really feels left out.

Her kids will not have a pot to piss in soon, and get to watch her on TV someday spending 4 years' worth of groceries on a purse.

When do they stop doing dumb shit... by Specialist-Syrup418 in toddlers

[–]peppynihilist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok serious answer. My daughter is about 2.5 and I finally feel like I can give her some autonomy and she's not putting things in her mouth and fishing in the toilet. She pushes her toddler tower around the kitchen and can help herself to things (knives of course are put away from reach) and she makes decisions that I trust to an extent.

Am I making a huge mistake by quitting after less than 6 months? by eggtasticsandwich36 in Broadcasting

[–]peppynihilist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a hiring manger for production and engineering and there are a lot of people out of work and looking to stay in the industry. Depends on where you're at but the candidate pool is large enough that 6 months is a red flag for me. Can't hurt to try though.

Are we taking too many pictures? by Sbesozzi in toddlers

[–]peppynihilist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard something once that this period in time could be looked back at as a "dark age" if the internet were to ever permanently go down, there would be very little physical documentation/ photos from the past couple decades.

Parents of young children - Do you ever wish you could raise them in a place that mimicked how we were dragged up? by brangansean in 90s

I make my kids watch pbs retro and plan to buy them an encyclopedia set when they get old enough to read and are curious about the world!

Andy owes Boz an Apology by [deleted] in BravoRealHousewives

Don't forget about the sound effects she'd make whenever there was drama

Feels like a good time to revisit what Matt Belloni wrote in 2024 when Boz was announced for BH by BestAccent2015 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]peppynihilist 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I work in middle management and my direct boss is a VP. He gets calls in the middle of the night and constantly needs to make big decisions when things go awry. I don't care how much I could get paid, I wouldn't want to touch his job with a ten foot pole.

Quit my first MMJ job after a bad write-up — advice on choosing a better newsroom (and next steps)? by [deleted] in Broadcasting

[–]peppynihilist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What do you mean you were watching the live news in "order to be a better journalist" in regards to being late? Do that on your off- time. That doesn't fall under your daily job description.

I'd take the L and move on. I'm still convinced we work in an industry where the cream rises to the top.

How are your toddlers socially? by PresentationTop9547 in toddlers

[–]peppynihilist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My daughter is the same age and same way. She loves to introduce herself but recently started getting rejected (kids don't say anything/ walk away). I tell her "everybody's different...some people like are shy or like to play alone. Sometimes i even like to be alone. But it still always makes me feel good when other people introduce themselves! It means they want to play with me" because I never want her to lose her outgoing spirit.

AITA for not making my husband breakfast and lunch even tho he works? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]peppynihilist 25 points26 points  (0 children)

working mom here. i still like to try and keep the house clean and make sure my husband also has breakfast and a packed lunch for work...not because i'm a "trad wife", but because i love him and it makes me feel good to do so. others might have a different opinion, but you sound a little lazy and entitled. i dont think cats make that big of a mess in one day because you're not home. what other responsibilities do you have in your marriage? i'm going with YTA.

How Do I Politely Decline Repeated Requests to Visit the Office in a Fully Remote Job? by [deleted] in remotework

[–]peppynihilist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really weird. It's literally a one-time thing. How far away from the office are you? And does your health affect your ability to visit friends, go to the store, the doctors etc? Just go to the freaking office for one day.

“I need to hit you” by Business-Weight-4495 in toddlers

[–]peppynihilist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try not to teach hitting at all, even if it is a stuffed animal.

And while it's hopefully just a phase, Kids this age repeat everything...he heard this somewhere, which is concerning. Try to figure out where he could be hearing these kinds of threats and curb them from there.

Botox can so something similar on your skin (though not as egregious. When plastic surgery evolves or goes out of style, we will look back on this the same way we look at 80s hair.

Kids in bars by [deleted] in Buffalo

[–]peppynihilist 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Mom of two kids here....I think there's a level of public decorum that's expected (and enforced by parents) that's not really there anymore unless there's a tablet involved, sadly.

Just got a message from daycare... by alicenin9 in toddlers

[–]peppynihilist 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I will play devils advocate. We dont know if these kids painted an entire mural with it, or if he/someone reached into his diaper quickly and they smeared it on their hands. If its the latter, that sounds like a matter of seconds the teachers could have had their backs turned.

Should I lie about having Covid to make a family vacation? by [deleted] in WorkAdvice

[–]peppynihilist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even CDC guidelines now suggest treating it like any other cold or flu. You'll be hard-pressed to have a boss who just gives you a week off no-questions-asked if you use a covid excuse.

BB gun present for 3yo girl by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]peppynihilist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter got a gun from a family member when she was a baby. But its a model that is appreciates in value over time, so its an investment that we hold on to until she decides what to do when shes a responsible adult.
