Was at Safeway this morning to pick up a sandwich and some Tylenol. The aisle with the Tylenol? Completely locked down. No call button in sight. So I go to the self checkout (front end of that same aisle) and ask the clerk there if he can call someone to unlock a case for me. He does. I go wait. Minutes pass. No one comes. I go ask him again, he tells me they went the other way? At this point I give up and go get my sandwich. No one has come by the time the deli has finished making it. I leave without my Tylenol, mildly infuriated.

used an egg and a ruler to compare

edit: a lot of people pointed out I called it a burger, which I didn’t know is wrong because it’s called 魚柳漢堡/魚柳包 in Cantonese (which means “fish patty burger”) and I genuinely thought all sandwiches with round circle bread are burgers lol

Pass expired at 4pm…booted at 3:42pm…showed up at 3:50. Guy refused to take the boot off. Called the cops and they said it’s a civil matter and won’t do anything. Fuck Houston.

Edit: For clarification, this is my first time in this city. So no, I don’t have unpaid parking tickets here. And also the boot is on both my front and rear tire so I can’t just put a spare.
I ate the bullet and paid the fine when the guy showed up. Apparently they’ve had a few calls from you guys already. Anyways fuck this company, I’m gonna take them to small claims court.

I guess things happen to me?????

Are people stuffing frozen pizzas and fish sticks down their pants now or something? ffs

He watched me pick up sticks from the massive storms we had last week, put them in the fire pit, mow my lawn, and then start a fire with my husband and our toddler. I heard him say, "We'll see what the fire department thinks of this!" And 5 minutes later, there was a firetruck out front.

The firemen came in the backyard and told us we were fine. They said he reported a "massive, out of control, raging fire." Our fire pit is far away from everything, we have a huge yard, it isn't windy, we're not currently in a drought, we have a hose out, yada yada. They gave our son a sweet frisbee and talked to the neighbor, who tried to get in their faces.

I wish he could get charged with false reporting. The city, police, and fire departments all know he is a frequent caller who will call for any little thing. He has bonfires most nights in the summer, himself.

I tread lightly because this guy has DV and assault on an officer charges in a different state, he's violent and angry. We're a quiet family, we have a 3 year old, we don't party or drink or play loud music. We just live here and mind our business, in fact, we spend most weekends away camping.

Guess where I'm posting this from... 🫠

1. This was a cleaning position at a medical building, I'm leaving it intentionally vague as not to doxx myself.

2. I have dyslexia, but my disability would not have interfered with my work, I can read fine, it just takes me a very long time.

3. This was my first day

I asked for a TTS application for the reading portion of the training, which was extremely long and I knew I wasn't going to finish it in the allotted time. They said that wasn't built into their system so they couldn't do anything. ← That's not ADA compliant. I asked if I could add an OCR + TTS browser extension, they said it was fine.

About 40 minutes after I clock out, they texted me I was fired because they're apparently reducing headcount.. by firing one person... and leaving their "urgently hiring" Indeed listing up. Right.

Edit:

I'm not confident in my ability to sue because I don't have my accommodation request in writing. This was a verbal exchange, I was more so asking where the TTS option was because most job training has it somewhere.

When I was told they did not have TTS, I mentioned that's not ADA compliant. I then asked for either more time, a loaner computer (something I was already going to be getting after training), or permission to add a 3rd party OCR & TTS program.

They said that the third option was fine, so I did it, and listened to the training via third party app for the rest of the shift. I thought nothing of it. Lo and behold I was fired extremely coincidentally afterwards.

Edit 2:

This post is getting too many notifications of people saying the same things repeatedly so I've muted it 😭 If you're a legal professional of some sort and you have specific resources or concerns please message me or I probably won't see it.

I have IBS and therefore have to severly limit my diet. Mind you half the stuff on this list is food I really enjoy eating, or is virtually included in everything 🙃 the universe said you WILL eat that boiled chicken and rice and you WILL LIKE IT

I’m sure there are a lot of tipping posts here so to keep it short - I had my wedding at a fancy restaurant. On top of the TERRIBLE service, the bill came with “suggested gratuity” even though I was told gratuity was included. When I asked the manager, he said that the “S/C: 24% SRC REGULA“ was the included tip and the suggested gratuity was if we wanted to add something extra - basically trying to trick people into giving a 49% tip!

I had taken this week off work and expected to be able to enjoy the pool. The lease says we are to pay $150/month for weekly pool cleaning services but they didn’t come out this week and barely cleaned last week. Come to find out the landlord is “in between pool cleaners” and didn’t tell us.

I mean... at a glance its like WOAH 4 can dine for $9.99....

Until you are at the cash and they say " that'll be $45.15"

HUH??

"Oh sorry sir... it feeds 4... 4 people pay $9.99"

Gtfooo

I came home late from work a few nights ago and hadn't eaten all day. My wife and kids were already in bed so I figured I'd quietly make some stove-top ramen. This photo represents exactly how I found the cooking area.

The next morning my wife asks what time I got home and I mention in our conversation that I made ramen before going to bed. She couldn't believe that I used the stove "when the light was on". I said "Yeah, the light was helpful in seeing what I was doing". She insists I shouldn't have been using the stove and should have known because "the light was on".

I'm baffled. We are still arguing about this days later.

EDIT -- wow, overwhelmed by the response of fellow Redditors! We are... white...not from the southeast US..not children...and I left the stove as clean as it was before I cooked. I asked for clarification from my loving wife -- TRULY we have only ever been angry at each other a handful of times in our 10 year marriage -- and she says "the stove was clean and done for the day and you could have just used the microwave for your ramen". Apparently the light is how stoves go to sleep for the evening?

EDIT 2 -- we are getting a divorce. JUST KIDDING. My wife looked over many of the comments and acknowledges that she was in the wrong and is slightly embarrassed by all of the attention.

Ordered Starbucks this morning and the UberEats delivery guy spilt the drinks and instead of letting me know when I went to pick up the bag everything fell through. sigh Now I’m scrubbing coffee out the hallway carpet.

*I tipped 40% and the Starbucks is like a mile away.

Went inside Walmart to buy some ice-cream for the sick Wife.

Curiously, all other brands of ice-cream in varied sizes (some more expensive than Haagan Dazs) were free to grab without needing an employee to get this stupid container off.

EDIT: wow thanks guys I didn’t know this would blow up! To answer some questions: It is an apartment, it is America, I even live on the third floor on a corner so it would have barely infiltrated anyone else’s apartment. I will follow up with an email stating that the incident was smoke from some overcooked bacon, the ventilation system over the stove just kicks the smoke back out into the apartment above the microwave then there’s a vent around TWO corners by the door basically doing nothing so opening the door is pretty much necessary if any food hits its smoke point.

I have lived here for 3 years and I quit smoking over 6 years ago. When I called they said the email was “just a courtesy.”

Many people have been reporting copyright strikes for backrooms fan games, textures, and other references on Google play, Twitter and other spaces. Apparently the company thinks if they make a movie that suddenly they own the source material that existed years before the movie was even conceptualized. For an idea of how ridiculous this is, it's like saying James Cameron owns the Titanic and every survivor's story because of the movie he made.

With how shitty the world is becoming at what point is it enough, it's literally 1984, can't have shit anymore, even decades old community internet creepypastas apparently.
