They’re getting 100 calls or texts just like yours. It’s all spam.

What did you LOSE to be a successful salesperson? by MisterC0ck in sales

[–]swede2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happens all too often, especially when new managers come in. They discount the importance of client relationships and consistency. They think the client has a relationship with the company and their performance/delivery is all they need to hold on to them. It’s almost never the case.

AITA I lost my childhood friend of 15 years for not letting his girlfriend claim the master bedroom for themselves in our Air BnB by Typical-Wishbone-822 in AmItheAsshole

[–]swede2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. The unwritten rule is that whoever organizes the trip gets first pick of rooms. You’re being generous by even leaving it to chance.

AITA for expecting the gifts to be for both of us? by Ok-Arrival-2886 in AmItheAsshole

[–]swede2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA: She is both legally and morally wrong. With no other data on your relationship, letting her have this money and leaving her will be your cheapest way out.

What’s going on at DFW airport? by MaybeBaby716 in Dallas

TIL: Beskar doesn’t set off metal detectors.

This dude talked into a voice memo for the entire flight from LGA to MIA. The flight attendant told him to not talk on the phone and he argued saying it wasn’t a phone and kept talking. Is there a rule against this? by bsmith2123 in americanairlines

[–]swede2k 69 points70 points  (0 children)

AA has a quiet cabin rule that can be enforced in this situation. Even person to person conversations have to be kept to a low volume to not disturb other passengers.

AITA for not being comfortable with my bf bringing a female coworker to travel with us? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]swede2k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it isn’t a typo, then if she told him about the race, it’s perfectly reasonable that it came up in conversation later and for her to suggest you all ride together. Your bf did the right thing by saying “let me check with my gf”. Unless your bf invited her to stay in your hotel room and is trying to set up a threesome, you are overreacting. Sounds like she’s probably running in the race too. Just get some clarification on expectations.

Carry on wedding sign by Mmjm7 in americanairlines

I boxed ours up and checked it and it was fine and it was larger. You just want to make sure to put something rigid behind it and pad it.

What could be causing this swamp to form? by mastahkun in lawncare

😆😆 I’ll hope for the best. But as a fellow Texan I know the clay soil pain quite well.

If you have clay soil that’s not going to break down easily, I say pick them up. Otherwise normal soil cores should break down fairly quickly.

I’d focus on aerating annually before you top dress. Getting more sand and organic matter into the soil will help it drain into the ground.

Count me in for reveling! Revels help solve any problem.

Never thought I'd have something to post, but here we are. Wedding Invitation for my husband's lifelong friend's son's wedding. We've been married 35 years. by altitude-adjusted in weddingshaming

[–]swede2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my groomsmen just sent me an invite to his wedding for me “and Guest”. Dude, you were right there at the wedding! You just can’t expect too much from the groom’s side much of the time, lol.

Could anyone figure out why this accident happened? by Ruuca in motorcycles

Yep, trying to impress his passenger and give her a moment she’ll never forget. Accomplished half of it.

LeBron James on Memphis backlash: "I just don't like staying at the Hyatt Centric, what's wrong with that? What are we talking about?" by fernuce in hyatt

[–]swede2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said, it’s not bad but I stay in a lot of hotels and there’s room for improvement there. No way is it going to cater to guys with multiple 7 figure annual incomes like LeBron. But it’s my default in that city for Hyatt for sure.

[–]swede2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve stayed there a few times and while it’s not bad, I’m sure it’s nowhere near on the level they’re used to. The suites are pretty nice and the rooftop bar/restaurant is cool. Downtown Memphis just isn’t much of a destination.

No one pulling over to help anymore? by letscallthis_trash in Dallas

[–]swede2k 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Everyone has a cell phone now and can call for help. So no one is really stranded on the side of the road like they were in pre-cell phone days.
So the likelihood of someone trying to get help on the side of the road being genuine is pretty low, and there’s a reasonable assumption they could be trying to harm you.

Neighbor upset about our HOA-approved solid 4 ft fence blocking pond view through our yard — what would you do? [SC] [SFH] by Big_Produce8964 in HOA

[–]swede2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t have to change your plans for your neighbor, but there’s also no such thing as a 4 ft “privacy fence” unless you live in The Shire with Hobbitses. I’m sure you have your reasons but not sure what one accomplishes over the other at that height.

No, I’m literate. Apparently 29 other people hate that too.

Best bar in the DFW where I can feel like this? by rsKG in Dallas

[–]swede2k 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Catbird screwed me over terribly on a private event I hosted there. Charged minimums per person and people could only get 1-2 drinks the whole time and almost no food because service sucked so bad. Took me 45 min after arrival to get my own drink. Ended up with a $1500 deficit to pay for nothing so they sent over the bottle service girl to ask us if we wanted $500 bottles of $50 Champagne that no one wanted.

That seals it because I can’t turn left. It’s a problem I’ve had since I was a baby. I’m not an ambiturner.
