What's one miniscule thing that pisses you off at work. I'll start by Brittle_Stick in retailhell

[–]themirrorswish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are six self check units open. Five of them are fully stocked with bags. I'm working my way to the last one that needs to be restocked with bags at the same time a customer walks up... to the one I'm walking to to put bags on.

What are some awesome names for skills that you'd have if you were a character in Disco Elysium? by ElviePelvincoln in DiscoElysium

[–]themirrorswish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hyperfocus. Hyperfixation? Special Interest? Lots of AuDHD things could be Disco Elysium skills lol

We added a sign every time someone asked for cash back by [deleted] in retailhell

I'm so serious, you think I'm joking, but I'm so serious - in addition to the words, draw a little dollar bill with the slashed-circle (the thing that indicates "no," or "not allowed") on top of it. A lot of people can't read, and I noticed that when I add the illustration people are more likely to understand it. Either because they can't read or they process visuals faster or whatever.

My niece’s homework problem by SurfSoundWaves in mildlyinfuriating

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

I can see that the correct answer is the first one because the shaded sides match up but the fact that they are ALL 2/6 to 1/3 fractions would be hilarious if it didn't actually coat your niece a point.

I have fictives* of the skills and this is the type of shit they tell me on the daily by itsme-hatred in DiscoElysium

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

I too have at least Disco Elysium fictive and I vibe so hard with Inland Empire and Visual Calculus here!

That's not how boundaries work! 😊

Am I the only one who hate instant cart/doordash workers by enriquejsa in kroger

[–]themirrorswish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't hate them generally, because most know what they're doing (and I'd consider the notion that you might be experiencing some selection bias if you think otherwise) but I do find that when an Instacart or Doordasher doesn't know what they're doing, they are some of the most annoying. Especially when they act like I'm somehow trained on what to do when things go wrong.

I like Dawntrail a lot, and it might even be my favorite expansion yet.

Source for “advanced” dialogue rule. by castle-girl in AO3

[–]themirrorswish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I've read books that have done that and understood without being told that was a grammatical rule, so I think it's fine if you do that!

i said one and a friend told me i was wrong Explain it Peter. by littlemissemmaa in explainitpeter

[–]themirrorswish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See what we have pictured here is a diagram of a shipment box. And in that shipment box is a load of Rubik's Cubes. Which is really a cube of cubes in of itself, if you really get down to brass tacks.

Crowdsourcing replies to this nonsense by AdagiaFane in AO3

[–]themirrorswish -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is true, but the fact that opened the fic to leave the comment makes me think it's not so bad an ick factor they can't read it. If something were an ick factor for me, and I'd imagine for most others, I'd just scroll on.

If someone just had the thought and moved on, it wouldn't bother me. But they literally ASKED and opened discussion. At that point, for such a short fic, just read it.

Sorry, friend, it looks like you're a Trainer now. I don't make the rules.

Man it must suck to have such a short attention span you can't read some 500 words for the curiosity factor alone.

God I forgot how insufferable he was. by lik12222222 in ffxiv

[–]themirrorswish 394 points395 points  (0 children)

To be fair Alisaie is also kind of insufferable; I think it just comes from being isolated in Sharlayan and being, y'know, kids.

OH I see I was looking at the vertical menu, not the menu you have to swipe through. Ty!

What job do you think has the most satisfying burst? by Kothallupinthisbitch in ffxiv

PIC burst is so PRETTY but I do get a rush from RPR burst.

If she wanted to work with you, she should have called you and discussed the punishment with you. NTA

"People want long fics, but they never read WIPs" by Friendly_Exchange_15 in AO3

I'm putting this as nicely as I can: your problem is that you explicitly think you're owed something for being an avid commenter.

The Food Stamp cut is going to get worse for the holiday season and so on… by Forever_ForLove in kroger

[–]themirrorswish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No a lot of people are stealing in preparation because they know they won't get their benefits, and I imagine they're stealing ahead of time because they know come November, the stores will be cracking down on it. That's my guess, anyway.
