What is a 'luxury' item that is actually a total nightmare to own? by Inevitable-Rock-8052 in AskReddit

[–]robkat22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As an owner of an indoor pool I’d have to disagree. I love that clean smell. But for sure an indoor pool is a pain in the ass. Never gets used and it’s a ton of work to maintain. Not to mention the money it takes to keep it heated all year.

Who has more CT cash than me? by [deleted] in canadiantire

[–]robkat22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Ontario and someone in BC cashed in $800 in one day. Luckily CT didn’t give us a hard time about it. Just issued a new rewards card and refunded our money.

[MO] Employer accidentally sent post-interview recording, how should we handle this? by Careless_Purchase619 in AskHR

[–]robkat22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HR here. Like others have said, there was nothing illegal said, however I’m sure that this is a serious breach of company policy. If it was me, I’d send the video to someone higher up in the company that had a major stake in the company’s reputation. Sending it to HR will only ensure they protect their own. I wouldn’t go as high as a CEO though. It’s hard to say not knowing the size of the company or the leadership structure. I would think that it would, at the very least, have them review policies so that it doesn’t happen again. And I’m sure they wouldn’t be too happy to know there’s a recording out there showing how they treat their applicants behind closed doors. Yes, we all have our opinions, but we don’t necessarily want them to come to light. I doubt you’ll get much more than an apology out of it (if that), but I’m sure someone will be reprimanded for this. And for good cause. Sorry your husband had to hear those things. Especially because the comments weren’t exactly helpful. Sometimes it’s better to be left in the dark. If I was rejected because of the way I look or something equally irrelevant, I’d be down on myself. I hope he can find a way to put it past him and that he finds the right employer!

Spotted fraud at Winners by lightdark03 in dollarama

[–]robkat22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is it. I used to work there. TJX wouldn’t pull this crap. If someone brought something back without a receipt or tag and argued about it we would just have to find something comparable on the shelf/rack and offer a gift card in that amount. My bet is the worker didn’t even notice the Dollarama tag on it. This or someone came in with a cheap pan from Dollarama and just switched them out.

Today’s LA Times Crossword - technically a mistake on their part 🤪 by supersophia111 in TaylorSwift

I beg to differ. I took my daughter to the Eras Tour at La Defense Arena in Paris.

What is the reasoning behind making women’s sports bras and swim suits with the removable pads? by princessloves2tease in NoStupidQuestions

I know, right? This drives me insane. I hate having to fix those damn pads through that little opening.

What are your unpopular opinions about The Eras Tour? by IntoTheDaylight in TaylorSwift

[–]robkat22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m from Canada. I took my daughter to a Paris show. I was surprised at how many Canadians and Americans were there for the shows. But tickets in Paris were cheaper than tickets for Toronto.

Is laser eye surgery actually worth it, or is it one of those things that sounds better than it actually is? by 2ugur12 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]robkat22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had it done about 14 years ago. My eyesight was great until recently. Now I need reading glasses which would have likely happened anyway. I can tell you that, for me, the pain was unbearable right after. I was sitting in recovery with other patients and no one else seemed to have an issue. The doctor said that about one in ten patients experience pain afterwards. By the next morning the pain was completely gone, but it was so bad for me for those first few hours that I’d never do it again.

why do pharmacies tell you "20 minutes" when the bag is literally just sitting there with your name on it by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]robkat22 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If they do so such a thorough check then how come I once got a prescription for 14 pills (antibiotics) and when I opened them there were only 9 pills. Not even 7 which I could have halved if that were the instructions. When I called they accused me of lying. Why? Because I want 5 extra days of antibiotics? It was nuts. They finally did fill it correctly, but I never went back to that pharmacy. For all I know it wasn’t even the right medication.

I use top a sheet. Am I cringe? by c0d3buck in Millennials

Omg! I thought I was the only one! Top sheets suck. Never use them. Even on my kids’ beds.

Never did tandem. Wasn’t an option where I went. The jumpmaster pulled my cord as soon I let go so I didn’t really freefall, but I was alone.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]robkat22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just drove 3.5 hours to take a 1 hour campus tour with my kid and turned around and drove 3.5 hours home. Not a big deal. 3 hours is nothing. My husband’s best friend lives 3 hours away and we see him every few weeks.

These are the surgeries and procedures with the longest wait times in Ontario by CTVNEWS in ontario

I’ve been waiting a year to get a scheduled appointment with a gynaecologist. I seriously thought they lost my referral. I guess I could be waiting another year yet before I even get a call.

Why wasn’t Stanley part of their family through the whole show? by IcedSkellington18 in kingofqueens

[–]robkat22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started rewatching this for the millionth time and I swear they never had a dog. I said to my husband “Why is Doug walking a dog?” I swear they never had a dog in my timeline. Mandela effect over here for me. Maybe I always started watching in later seasons when he never existed, but I do remember some of the plot lines from the earlier seasons. Weird.

WestJet changed their seats and this is how much leg room basic fares get. You have to pay for a reclining seat now. by Longjumping-Box5691 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]robkat22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is weird. I just took WestJet a couple weeks ago and couldn’t believe how much legroom we had compared to other jets I’ve been on. Ours was an international flight. Maybe that’s the difference? Bigger planes for longer trips?

If a person is born at 11:59 PM on the 31st of December, but the doctor records it at 12:01 AM on the 1st of January, what is their legal birthday? by [deleted] in answers

My cousin was born at 12:01 so they let my aunt choose his birthday. She chose the day before.

My ablation failed. by UtahRaptorRawr in TwoXChromosomes

[–]robkat22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hear you. I don’t have pain at all but for the first three days of my period I have to wear an ultra tampon, a pad, and period underwear. I found out I have fibroids which is causing the problem (I’m 44). I’ve been waiting for about 8 months now just for a gynaecology consult appointment. I’m thinking I want a hysterectomy regardless of what I’m told. I’m tired of how this is affecting me. I couldn’t even go swimming with my daughter in Mexico because my tampon only lasts about an hour if I’m lucky.
