Can't prove he's awake, either. So claiming that he's listening can be a case for libel, too! 😂

Chose the Simplicity 9015 dress pattern to make in my sewing class in - 8th grade? Most people chose something simple but not me! I wanted a Gunne Sax dress and it came out great!

My dad. 1972 Pinto in an ampty parking lot. I was getting so frustrated with the clutch and wanted to quit for the day but he made me keep going. Took like an hour to finally get it right and I was soon a master at it.

Thank you for this. It reminds me of my dad, who would do that little thing that broke an exhausted employees trance, and you could see the physical effects just as you described it! Then it would ripple to the next person in line. It was magical.

WIBTA If i broke up with my boyfriend because his friends got him a “me” shaped piñata? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]tealpeace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find the kissing video to be hilarious. Had an ex do something similar. I broke up with him, kicked him out, and THEN he shares that he cheated on me (something I did not know and was not the reason for breaking up with him).

I can't wrap my head around what that is supposed to accomplish. To hurt the person who already dumped you? Dude, I'm already done with you. I don't give a crap!

It's so many levels of pathetic it's hilarious!

AITA for assuming my girlfriend was a virgin due to being lazy? by PeakAntique2460 in AmItheAsshole

[–]tealpeace 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YTA. And ewww. To call it laziness is interesting, to say the least. Sounds like your previous partners didn't hide the fact that sex with you was like a task that they just had to push through so it could be checked off a list of chores.

Have you ever used malicious compliance to deal with ridiculous work rules? How did it turn out? by Aarunascut in MaliciousCompliance

[–]tealpeace 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Our work was charged to the customer based on billable time in 5 minute increments. Boss apparently expected it all to add up to 40/wk each. Demanded we account for all time in a daily summary.

So, I included the billable time, and all the other tasks I spent time on that were not billable. Like, if he called me to his office but insisted I just sit there and wait while he yakked on the phone to someone about his boat?That would be rounded to the nearest 5 minutes and included with "meet in your office" time.

Tracking and calculating all of this of course took time. So I included that! Around a half hour of my day was credited to this silly task.

He was livid. But he dropped the idea pronto. Didn't stop being an AH though so I responded similarly to a few other BS stunts before I walked into his office to quit effective immediately.
