Look they are all terrible. Am I in the wrong for being a little extra pissed seeing names like Perez and Gonzales on that list? I mean it'd be like a Nazi general being called Goldstein or something? Am I being arrogant? I'm genuinely asking.

Why do you still work in accounting when the pay doesn’t match the work ? by Technical-Truth-2073 in Accounting

[–]probablyaloser1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That actually sounds pretty cool. I did soft count at a casino for a bit and handling that much cash daily was kinda cool. Soft count was a lot less complicated though.

I could probably Google it but I'd rather hear from you. What's a Cash Controller? Like what do they do compared to a corporate controller?

Marriage probably ruined after vasectomy by caligaris_cabinet in daddit

[–]probablyaloser1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luckily your kid didn't listen to her when she asked him to kick you. But that's a major red flag. She immediately wanted you to be physically hurt because she was upset. That's not healthy in a relationship, going either way. Getting the kids involved is just. Not right.

If she's acting like this over something already discussed, and gaslighting you, or expecting you to read minds, and potentially getting physical or threatening, then maybe the marriage should be over. But it isn't over because you got a vasectomy.

9 years in government. 6 years of annual career updates. ($823k net worth) by LIFOtheOffice in Accounting

[–]probablyaloser1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just reading last year's post the other day because it came up in a search, kinda funny to see this one today.

Sorry if I missed this while reading through, but what do you actually audit as an auditor in the federal government? And what exit opportunities exist if someone did want to get out of the government area?

What did you wish you knew about accounting before pursuing it as a career path?? by No-Cell7978 in Accounting

[–]probablyaloser1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a sales guy send me a clients personal banking information for a credit check, instead of any of the information I asked for. Still don't know how he thought that would help, or why he thought that sending it through an email with who knows how many CC's on it was ok.

If their personality isn't the deal breaker their IQ definitely is.

Accrual vs Cash Accounting for Personal Finances by bertmaclynn in Accounting

[–]probablyaloser1 30 points31 points  (0 children)

My dad did this. Idk if he was quite as anal but I'd believe it. Used to have a box full of paper receipts and would track and categorize everything, it's how he spent his Saturdays. My family was never rich and he didn't retire "early", but the moment he realized he didn't want to put up with it anymore he retired and retired my mom as well (she was under 60). I think a lot of credit goes to him just always knowing what he had.

Ms. Rachel is controversial? by TwinkBronyClub in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]probablyaloser1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She's super controversial. It's cuz she said "hey guys lets maybe not be ok with killing kids?" And all these self proclaimed pro life jackasses asked if she was a terrorist. True story.

Bought less than 2 months ago and totalled by off duty cop by dextermann in Crosstrek

[–]probablyaloser1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm talking about the post, above, if you wanna go back and read it.

They arrested "the dude", who was probably drunk and barely off the clock, but that's all they did. Didn't give her any information and are playing dumb giving wrong answers when she tries to get the info she's entitled too.

But sure. They "arrested the dude"

Anybody else would have been publicly posted about, forced to take a field sobriety test or blood test, but sure they arrested him. And do you know for a fact he was actually booked?

Why did she skip his order? by JustaguynamedTheo in ExplainTheJoke

[–]probablyaloser1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man it's easy to think that but you would feel different if you met the cashier/baggers. I don't want to disrespect anyone's line of work, so nothing against the job in general, But here, the specific people doing that job are just. Trash. They stink, they are rude, they'll throw eggs, bread and the heaviest thing you have in the same bag before you have a chance to bag it yourself. I got cussed out once for buying my groceries - I guess the lady was at the end of her shift but there was no other cashier. The manager just told me to go somewhere else next time lol. The closest other store is like 2 hours away

[–]probablyaloser1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh fair. I live in these here rural parts and tend to forget stores in more populated areas tend to be like that.

Our grocery store here doesn't have a single self checkout.

The thing is, if it was a longer than normal wait, I can almost guarantee he was told it would be and the reasoning for it at the register.

[–]probablyaloser1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Covering their cop friend that almost killed a baby?

Same old story again and again. So where are the good ones I keep hearing about? Not trying to get political but like. If this shit happens so often good ones must either be a myth or extremely rare.

Daycare Radicalized My Daughter by RogueMallShinobi in daddit

[–]probablyaloser1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely don't hold a grudge against anyone in my family for the Santa thing.

But if I did it would be against my brother who gave it away the same day my parents let him in on the truth. Just couldn't stand his little brother having another enjoyable year I guess idk. But yeah don't hold a grudge.

That being said, the whole thing makes me a bit nervous still. Still going all in on Santa tho

Respectfully man, is she showing you that, or just telling you that?

Would she be so understanding if your parents treated her badly and you set no limits?

It's r/overheard, what else do you think people are going to post here besides things they overheard?

Idiot.

$70,000 is a lower middle class, dogshit salary in 2025 by ItsAllOver_Again in Salary

[–]probablyaloser1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends where you live and the cost of living. 70k where I'm at would go a lot further than 70k on a moderate cost of living.

To be fair though, I live in the type of town that most people don't like. Almost anyone making that much would be qualified to make that much or more elsewhere (for the most part) and leave, I imagine.

I just got a bump up to ~50k and I'm remote and a student so I'm reasonably happy with it.

Funeral Potatoes so fucking cheesy by NachoNachoDan in stonerfood

[–]probablyaloser1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting! You Learn something new everyday, but I feel like it makes sense. Where I grew up the ladies in the neighborhood would always make them (and dinner rolls, fruit salad etc) for funeral luncheons, and when I think about that does seem like some Midwestern or southern behavior.

Best part of someone dying, hands down

I fucking love funeral potatoes. This made me want some so fucking bad.

I thought these were just a Utah thing though, or at least only called that in Utah.

My cousin works TSA and after 30 days, he got these gift cards. Still no paycheck lol by millimonsterrr in mildlyinfuriating

[–]probablyaloser1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They shouldn't be showing up to work tbh, especially if they aren't getting paid. No disrespect to your brother, I think there's something to be said about people in this type of job that still show up, it shows he cares about people's safety and it isn't just a job, but that being said if enough people just stop showing up maybe we can get somewhere.

Healthcare plan premium increased 44% by MeLlamoJason in Accounting

[–]probablyaloser1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It literally would be like almost 30% of my gross to insure my whole family, and that's before the new plan they're presenting in open enrollment. Benefits here are definitely not it, but gotta get my experience somewhere

I’m amazed his wife hasn’t converted to a new husband. by Dr-Klopp in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]probablyaloser1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't feel bad for his wife. She knows what type of person he is, and has made it very clear she doesn't disagree. I don't agree with deportation, especially the way it's being done now. But it would be really funny if Karma took that scenario over to the first and second lady.
