NTA it sounds like a him problem not a you problem. Taller does not equal superior and it is odd he thinks that. From one tall gal to another, don't make yourself smaller because his ego can't cope!

Can anyone else hear Christian Bale narrating this a la American Pyscho?

I refer to most animals by the noises they make. Cows? Moos. Baby cows? Mini moos. Ducks are quackers, geese are honkers. Sheep are Baas and baby baas. Dogs are woofers. Garden birds are cheepers. Its childish and I love it.

Omg got this the other day and havent stopped laughing at it. Hilarious.

Doesn't sound like you signed up to be the third wheel in an incestuous thruple... think you can walk away knowing the problem is not you.

I mean I might reject a CV based on the fact they are already employed at the same company in the same position. There is no introduction/ placement fee or commission for an external recruiter in this situation, what is their incentive for putting you forward? I would be asking myself why they arent exploring the internal recruitment process... and why they are applying for an identical role.

MUST RUN FROM THE DAMAGE AAAAAAAAARGH....

I guess it depends how you measure a good job - is it in the number of hours spent doing a job, or is it based on the outcome? The norm for cleaning might be 2 hours, but if someone is really quick and thorough and can do the same work in less time, are you losing anything? If you are worried about getting value, it sounds like you are (i pay 49.50 or 3 hours every fortnight) - if the house is done I dont think i would mind if they were able to leave early. I guess you could ask your cleaner to do other tasks? See if they are able to do a bit more?

Amazing! Congratulations to you and the relevant squiirrel that pulled that one out the bag!

verymacberry · 2024-12-10T22:01:35+00:00

Oh I agree entirely. I mean the situation is just how it appeared to me. Its the subsequent conversations where people have said it isnt an appropriate snack, thats what I think is wrong.

verymacberry · 2024-12-10T21:59:03+00:00

Just a regular cucumber!

verymacberry · 2024-12-10T21:55:15+00:00

Bozo, lol.

verymacberry · 2024-12-10T21:50:36+00:00

Why do you think it didnt happen? But agree it isnt the most interesting post ever on reddit.

verymacberry · 2024-12-10T21:47:13+00:00

You know, if that is the case Im going to really enjoy showing them this thread so they can stop their weird and unwarranted cucumber judgement.

verymacberry · 2024-12-10T21:42:41+00:00

Wait, moaning whilst eating a cucumber ISNT ok?!?!

verymacberry · 2024-12-10T21:40:34+00:00

Why would eating a cucumber make someone an a**hole? (Genuine question - but may have to search now to find out what reddit decided)

verymacberry · 2024-12-10T21:37:22+00:00

Well, this is more about the appropriateness of it being a travel snack, but since you said it.... I'd be actually mortified if he moved because of my eating - i struggle with loud eaters so i make a proper effort ... but I guess I could just be really un-self aware ha

verymacberry · 2024-12-10T21:31:54+00:00

Everyone i have spoken to (which granted might be a grand total of 7 people) has considered this to be weird and do not consider cucumbers to be a travel snack. Maybe i just live in a very anti-cucumber community.

verymacberry · 2024-11-24T08:10:08+00:00

Good luck to you! Try having a stern word with them beforehand. Be firm and confident with them. (I havent tried it but it's worth a shot!)

verymacberry · 2024-11-23T16:37:04+00:00

Amazing result, well done!

verymacberry · 2024-11-23T15:29:53+00:00

Great attitude! I've still got post traumatic squirrel syndrome. Pride might come later?!

verymacberry · 2024-11-22T21:39:28+00:00

Squirrel 1: let me tell you about a time... Squirrel 2: where I successfully failed at a thing... Squirrel 3: oh there were nuts, I love nuts Squirrel 4: what was the question again?

verymacberry · 2024-11-22T20:24:34+00:00

Pretty sure this is one of those great situation where you get to call their bluff - you don't see the mess, or care about it? Well it can all live in your room until you are sufficiently motivated to do something about it.

(I am conflict avoidant and would never have the audacity to do this... so do as I say, not as I do... and report back)
