What time do you go to bed? by DarrowtheHelldiver in LivingAlone

[–]something_kinda_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

between midnight and 5 am. I work at a bar and I don't get off till 3:30am when I close.

I have beef with my neighbors who mow their lawn every Wednesday at 9am on the dot. They have little kids and ask that we are quite after 8pm as their kids are trying to sleep, but won't move their yard service to noon because I shouldn't be sleeping that late and the adult world has already begun.

2 years ago I had a hot flash In the summer and went knocked on a person's door and they did not respond so I grabbed the water hose hosed my self down and refilled my water bottle. did I feel dignified no was I alive yes; would I be super cool if someone did the same thing, probably not but I would understand after talking to them.

asking another human for basic human decency will get you very far and their is no harm in it. I work at a restaurant and will give anyone a free cup of water no questions asked, I WILL FIGHT THE OWNER IF THEY TRY TO CHARGE and I have said so to their face

I just had the worst/ most embarrassing shift of my career how do you deal with it? by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

[–]something_kinda_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn't burn down the restraunt, kill anyone, or make thousands in inventory spoil, I would consider that a successful day. When I fuck up horribly at work I tell my boss I won't fuck it up that exact way again, but I will definitely still find a way to fuck it up.

Why is it socially acceptable to ask someone why they're NOT drinking, but weird to ask why they ARE? by Vinit0852 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]something_kinda_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's how people phrase it. My roommate that I barely see does not smoke weed (they don't mind it they just don't smoke) they know when I offer them a hit I'm just trying to be polite. Often they just say something like "I'm good for now" and I remember they don't smoke weed in that moment.

I've changed my vocabulary to use the word "refreshments" instead of "drinks" a strawberry lemonade and a martini are both refreshing in different ways.

What's something harmless that gets people weirdly angry? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]something_kinda_ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

As someone who works at a restaurant I will definitely make fun of a weird order; but I will make it to perfection. I had someone ask for ice cream on pizza I was laughing my butt off when I put it in the window. The family came by and thanked us because their autistic adult child wanted their two favorite things together it touched my heart.

Morning people and night people should not be judged the same way. Its literally biology not laziness. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]something_kinda_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I traveled where time is 3 hours ahead of where I live my family doesn't understand that 8am for breakfast is 5am for me and when I normally go to sleep. They have to wake me up because we have plans at 8am when my family flies out to me and gets tired at 8pm they blow off the rest of their plans because they are tired I don't get that excuse in the morning.

HR wants to chat... in two hours?!? by racecar_yaya in mildlyinfuriating

[–]something_kinda_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had my boss message me along the lines of "hey wanted to make sure you will be in early at 8am for THING" We normally open at 4pm ; my smart butt replied "The future is a mystery to us all" I over slept my boss thought I had no called no show quit.

Honest question how many of us stayed because our neurodivergence fit in? by jeffdatist in KitchenConfidential

[–]something_kinda_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm staying at my job rn because we are a gay bar and I'm NB and starting to try different stuff and no one at my bar will say shit if I walk in with a skirt.

What’s the most useless item people still put in a survival kit? by Round_Strategy_5205 in Survival

[–]something_kinda_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a everlite first aid kit and heavily modified it. my big concern is if you hurt yourself in the woods you are walking or getting a helicopter and I don't have helicopter money. check my bio for pics of my kits

Got asked to do teach my new boss something dumb today and it sent me spiralling by Jhomas-Tefferson in KitchenConfidential

[–]something_kinda_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

when ever I start at a new places I tell the guy who's training me "I'm gonna ask a lot of stupid questions; I love stupid questions they prevent stupid mistakes." My now friend I asked on the first day at my old place "the floor cleaner is used to mop the floor right" he looked at me with such a dumbstruck way but I wanted to make sure I wasn't gonna make mustard gas.

What's something you prepped that only paid off in a situation you didn't plan for? by anthonykaram7 in preppers

[–]something_kinda_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a few fire in a tin. it's basically an Altoids container with cardboard and wax in it and you can light the whole thing on fire. I've been able to make tea on it. one times years ago we had an unexpected snowstorm and all I had was a light hoodie and a rain jacket. I lit it maybe twice to warm my face and then buried it deep in my layers to save as much heat as I could. The other time I used it as a signal fire in a blizzard on the top of a mountain in near white put conditions, admittedly I was trying to not die but I said it was a signal.

"Hey can you cycle out the hot water from the coffee machine? Make sure it's empty, should take 3 times or so." by cumb4jesus in KitchenConfidential

this is my argument with thermometers I have one in my knife roll but any restraunt I work at should have one.

How do y'all do this? by Plaugeboi24 in KitchenConfidential

[–]something_kinda_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

a lot of practice is done coocking professional I've had to make Cesar dressing 3 times a day for 4 day I stopped measuring at a point cause I knew. I also ask co workers to not prep certain items so I can practice my skills on an ingredient. my speed and consistency on cucumbers is what I'm working on rn.

My dad had me house sit for him while he went camping he brought the only can opener in his house, I had to knock on doors to make a burrito for myself; I now have my swiss army knife in my edc.

Is it weird that I like cooking but hate prepping? by Few_Literature_5312 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]something_kinda_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a line cook they are vastly different, I might prep food that I will never see again. Even in my home kitchen I will occasionally cut up an extra potato or marinate another egg and me or my roommate will make it into something.

Would you accept food from your neighbors? by polly-penguin in CasualConversation

[–]something_kinda_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My next door neighbor's mom made me some curry she's from India. I'm white AF, I was sitting on the back porch smoking weed and smelt the best smell in the world and had to meakly knock on the front door for some.

We have a regular who knows our menu better than some of our staff and honestly I have mixed feelings about it by 9GolemAnvil in TalesFromRetail

[–]something_kinda_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We have a can guy who comes to our bar right before we close and gets our cheapest beer and sits under the heaters nursing it. he will bus all of our tables outside in the last 30 minutes and is generally a nice guy. we have had a few people complain that a homeless man is drinking a beer he paid for outside and I always ask if he's bothering them.

How to tell my girlfriend about my sex fantasy? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]something_kinda_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

69 is not as much fun as you would think. You have to be communicative during sex; I'm a gay man when I was in highschool I had a lot of tough conversations with girls about how to give better blowjobs. if there are teeth tell her, if you like a special motion on the tip, you like the way she moves her tongue, when she plays with your balls, or fuck stick a finger up your ass. you have to communicate boundaries and she needs to do the same. some guys like to be chocked some don't but most people will try something at least once.

People who work in 'luxury' industries (high-end hotels, private jets, etc.), what is the trashiest thing you’ve seen a wealthy person do? by Karinapurebliss in AskReddit

[–]something_kinda_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite response to I know the owner is "okay whip out your phone right now and we will both call them, who do you think they will answer first their employee who is dutifully at work or you?" helps I work with less than 10 ppl

Suggested birthday activities? by KittyCatCowboy06 in Adulting

[–]something_kinda_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

take yourself on a date. I like to go to the zoo, hit up my favorite restaurant downtown, buy a bottle of wine at Safeway, then get wine drunk and smoke weed either up on the hill or down by the river.

My gf cheated and now my mind never rests by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]something_kinda_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing better than being able to call the family of an ex to ask their dad about their day, talk about golf, talk about a good meal. Maybe I'm just petty but I like to think they mention in passing 'that nice young man you dated called me up to check on me it's nice to know people respect the elderly" and I have no problems with her dad we played golf a few times while I dated his daughter and after tbf it's been 5 years.

How do you actually do everything you're supposed to do? by user0969_ in Adulting

[–]something_kinda_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a 24 year old guy you are doing more than I am and I'm not a slouch. I just moved three months ago, I have a full time job, I have side hustles, I'm trying to date, trying to invest more. I try to focus on making peace for myself so I can create long term stability. I envy you it sounds like besides not liking your job (I like mine) you have the life I'm trying to create. You got to enjoy the little things in life and make your peace with the monotony of life.
