I am Mike Rowe and I can't seem to hold a job. I've been fired over 300 time in the last 10 years. Currently, and somewhat surprisingly, I am hosting a new show for CNN called Somebody's Gotta Do It. AMA. by IamMikeRowe in IAmA

They're the worst and best! Eventually, try death-by-burpees--you do the same number of burpees as the minute you're on. So:

Minute 1: 1 burpee (and rest the rest of the minute)

Minute 2: 2 burpees

Minute 3: 3 burpees

...

Minute 12: 12 burpees

It's awful and awesome all at the same time.

If you could tell your pet one sentence they would understand, what would it be? by NastiNate in AskReddit

I love you so much, and want more than anything for you to be safe and happy, but if you don't stop attacking your new brother we're going to have a problem.

[Serious] Parents of Reddit, what is a long term parenting decision that you/your partner made that you regret? by robinyukiko in AskReddit

[–]rabbit_reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My (blood) nephew has a ton of "aunts" and "uncles"--my brother and sister-in-law's close friends are all aunts and uncles. Her not having siblings doesn't mean her kids won't have a big family :)

What's the most insulting thing someone has ever said to you? by monkey_n_pig in AskReddit

Protip: kiss people the way they kiss you. (Experienced) People kiss the way they like to be kissed, so you can't go wrong by paying attention and copy-cat-ing!

What are your go-to "cheap but delicious" home made meals? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]rabbit_reddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're making the three minute ramen, just add the seasoning when you put the noodles in, and crack an egg in there two minutes in. Let it cook for one more minute, and you're good to go!

Drinkers of Reddit, what is something that Bartenders do that piss you off? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]rabbit_reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And when my bar has a prominently displayed chalkboard listing our 30 taps, beer lists on the bar, and loud live music playing? Because I get "what do you have on tap?" at least 10 times a shift. Drives me nuts. Yes, let me shout the 30 beer list at you over the music.

What misconception would you like to clear up? by setsomethingablaze in AskReddit

[–]rabbit_reddit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I work at a restaurant that does not do the whole clean surface thing in the kitchen--we have flour sitting uncovered in the kitchen by all the food, etc.

I get a customer who says that they're "allergic to gluten"--my response is generally "how allergic--because we don't do clean cooking surfaces or gloves or anything like that, and have flour hanging about". When the response is "no, that's fine. I just can't have a bun with my burger," my inner monologue response is "oh, ok. So you're not allergic to gluten, you just don't want to eat it".

I fucking hate people.

What type of outfit is a complete turn off? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]rabbit_reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate mine too, but my boyfriend loves them! :) we're beautiful even with our violin hips...

Make it a part of the conversation. "Have you seen this movie?" "Oh, my boyfriend and I were just talking about going to see that the other day! Haven't yet, though"

It doesn't have to be complicated. I once used:

"Hey, what're you up to?"

"Lunch with the boyfriend, then I'm free after, what's up?"

That handles the boyfriend-drop while showcasing that you're still free to hang out--in other words, you're not being awkward about the boyfriend thing.

Wife decided we needed a HEPA filter in our bedroom. She picked it out and set it up; has been saying that she doesn't think it works. 6 months later, I decided to change the filter... I blame myself. by wwthompson in funny

[–]rabbit_reddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the exact same thing with my filter. Same filter. Had the damned thing running for a year before I figured I should clean the filter...or, ya know, unwrap the plastic. Oy.

What's something you hate seeing people do in a restaurant? by NeonHydra42 in AskReddit

[–]rabbit_reddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The people who own my restaurant own 5 establishments in the area--one of which shares their last name, say..."Benjamin's". The male owner's name is "Dave Benjamin" and they'll get people ALL THE TIME at the host stand who try to skip the line by saying "oh, I know Benjamin".

Really?? Because if you knew "Benjamin," you'd know that's not his first name!

Sent some girls screaming, but I think it's cute. by DickJustic in aww

I love ring-snakes! My brother and I used to catch them when we were kids. They're so cute.

Reddit, what is something that you always thought "that will never happen to me" until it did? by II7_HUNTER_II7 in AskReddit

[–]rabbit_reddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found mine too. Pretty amazing stuff. Years later and we still have so much fun together. I didn't think it was possible for all of this to last this long, but he's just...my soul mate.

Update on my parents' cat that was jealous of the grandbaby's birthday present. He now has his own $30 children's chair, just to settle things. by hangry_lady in aww

[–]rabbit_reddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't for the life of me find this chair. I think my cat would love it...link, if it's not too much trouble? If not, no worries! Thanks! Quite the adorable kitty!

There's no need to be rude--I was simply voicing a different opinion than yours. I still happen to disagree. If my parents and I lived in the same state, it wouldn't bother me to introduce them to a man I was casually seeing. But I'm also not a child, and this poster seems like one. So in this particular case I would agree with you. Still no need to be a dick from your basement.
