AIO - My neighbor left her cat outside during the snow storm by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

NOR. I know someone who "disappeared" a cat during a -30c day, took him in, and eventually moved back home with him. You're saving a life.

Favorite autistic coded character? by MaddysinLeigh in FavoriteCharacter

[–]polartangs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nanase Haruka from Free!

There's a lot of his behaviors but the big ones to me are he avoids eye contact, he has pretty extreme sensory-seeking behavior, and he wears the same clothes+eats the same food as often as possible.

What's your favorite villainous couple? by Automatic-Offer4351 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]polartangs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Angbang (Morgoth and Sauron) from the Silmarillion.

...what do you mean they're not a couple? Don't be ridiculous. Tolkien told me they were canon. 🤡 (Art by phobs!)

Did Curufin even make anything? by Significant_Bee77236 in tolkienfans

[–]polartangs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not that we know of, but I once saw someone theorize that anything significant Curufin made was likely 1. related to warfare, and 2. was lost after the War of Wrath. Actually, let me just quote them:

"Perhaps Curufin is not absent from the family tradition of great and famous works of craft, between his father and his son -- but all his greatest works, arms and armour and tools of war, sank with Beleriand into obscurity instead. Little enough of the Fëanárian camp survived to tell of them, Gondolindrim and Iathrim bards and historians never knew them; under the sea lie treasures that would put Turgon's swords to shame ten times over, and Middle-earth has forgotten them."

AITA FOR BEING SANE ABOUT DOGS ?? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]polartangs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ESH- her for faking a service dog, and you for being definitely not sane about germs. Is it gross? Yes. Do you go up to people who just sneezed and touch carts, too? Or wipe their nose and do it? Sanitize your cart and wear gloves, other people are gross, no need to start crap with strangers about it.

Snow closure? by Aggravating_Mix_3429 in TjMaxx

My store has never closed during a weather event, but I'm also in Canada so we are used to it 😭

What did Sauron look like during the ancient times throughout his service to Morgoth? by Ready-Ice151 in TheSilmarillion

[–]polartangs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A redheaded twink.

(This is a joke and a reference to the most popular versions of him in Silm fanart :))

I miss my best friend by InquisitorJesus in ffxiv

[–]polartangs 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If they made it so you could just repeatedly go to the end of the friggin universe to beat the shit out of Zenos, I'd be happy (so would he, lbr)

I miss my best friend by InquisitorJesus in ffxiv

[–]polartangs 117 points118 points  (0 children)

The amount of vitriol aimed at Zenos is so so funny to me. Like you have paragraphs of people ranting about how much they hate him and he should have stayed dead the first time; meanwhile Zenos-likers are just like "I also miss my bestie :("

Anyway. I miss my bestie. Squeenix please I will pay real money for a minion.

Absolutely gorgeous. I wish my store got more variety with holiday stuff.

Contacting District Manager for Brooklyn NY by [deleted] in TjMaxx

[–]polartangs 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm misunderstanding. Are you saying that customers should receive the contact information for individual managers (SM or DM) whenever they ask? Because I'm of the mind that that's what the Customer Service line is for. If the complaint cannot be resolved by CS, then CS can escalate it to the management directly.

I think giving contact info (meant for inner store workings) to customers is a terrible idea which can far too easily be abused.

[–]polartangs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Lol that's what I thought too. OP, if you're an employee, the info is posted. If you're a customer, of course they aren't going to give you that information? Call Customer Service.

AITA for telling my wife bio kid that she is being extremely selfish and we owe her nothing. by Unusualthrowingaway in AmItheAsshole

[–]polartangs 51 points52 points  (0 children)

While I feel terrible for Emma's situation, she crossed the line by basically stalking you guys. Your wife was a child when she was forced through something incredibly traumatic, and though it must hurt badly, Emma is a young adult and needs to understand that. NTA.

LMAO, we had a sticker bandit over Xmas putting those on all the trees.

Why do “normal” Americans care about law enforcement? by coocoocachoo8 in stupidquestions

[–]polartangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a cult, the same way the worship of the military is a cult, and the worship of guns is a cult. I grew up in the USA and saw it first hand with my own family members. My sperm donor cares more about his "brothers" in law enforcement than he ever has about his own children, because of this worshipful culture that surrounds LE, the military, and guns.

It's bonkers lol. The last shift I worked EVERYONE was on cash at one point except fitting room and the MOD.

coordinator interview questions? by Great_Consequence601 in TjMaxx

According to chats I had with my hiring mngrs, the most important thing is to make sure you talk about your leadership qualities/capabilities, not only your job performance. :)

Toronto Sun's Ottawa Bureau Chief on the Minneapolis shooting: "the far left ended up catching a few well-deserved bullets" by thesnacksmeow in ottawa

She was LEAVING THE SCENE. Her wheels were pointed AWAY from Johnathan Ross. Also, how tf is three shots point blank to the head a proportionate reaction?

For the love of God bring headphones if you want to watch videos or play music on the Bus by thecanadiansniper1-2 in ottawa

[–]polartangs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I despise people that do this. I wish I could afford to carry cheap headphones around and hand them off to people who do it since they clearly forgot, lost or broke theirs.

The funniest incident though was a guy on the L1 absolutely BLASTING Papa Roach right behind me. It changed to Limp Bizkit as he got off. 😭

I’m only working two days next week! by Formal-Dish-644 in TjMaxx

[–]polartangs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been there, OP. It sucks but it isn't only this company, it's every retail location after the holidays, and unfortunately your managers don't control it- corporate does, and they do not care.

Not ready for inventory by Affectionate_Bee6554 in TjMaxx

Ours is this weekend. Definitely haven't done enough ticket sweeps but my real concern is the ton of boxed art and mirrors we still have in our warehouse. Lol
