mandatory question on a job application trying to be quirky or something lol I’ll probably finish the application later but like… huh

We dressed up last year without any issue. This year we get a guilt trip and a sermon.

Edit: in the comments I shared where he explicitly said no costumes or decorations. I couldn't share the entire email without doxxing people

Went to McDonald’s and asked for a large drink with not a lot of ice and a medium french fry and this is what I got. What are we doing here? We have totally lost the plot. This cup isn’t even full and this is definitely a small french fry disguise as a “medium”.

Edit: the drink is called the Red Bull Dragonberry Energizer.

I haven’t been to McDonald’s in such a long time I thought I’d swing by and just grab something small. I am part of the problem and realize it. I will never go to another fast food place again. It’s been such a long time I didn’t know that’s how they fill drinks when you ask for less ice, it’s been that long and it was never a thing. Again, I am part of the problem. Never again.

To top it off he was berating the customer service worker which felt very on brand.

Fuck American healthcare.

I took my daughter today to her first ever hair appointment at an actual Salon. Salon had 5 stars on Google and me being a Dad of a daughter thought, huh 5 star google salon in a pretty yuppity area, gotta be good. Surprised her this afternoon and went in. From the get go I should have ran, the guy behind the register greets us, then my daughter who is diagnosed ASD, BPD, and a litany of others has a little bit of a reaction to actually being there to get her hair done. The gentleman proceeds to tell me that if she is loud again like that “maybe you guys shouldn’t be here, because it doesn’t seem like she wants to be here.” I sit and have a talk with her about containing her excitement and everything is fine. Fast forward to speaking with stylist, looks at pictures my daughter shows her, guarantees my daughter she understands the assignment, quotes me for 3 hours of time. This is at 6:30, fast forward again to almost midnight, hair nothing like was discussed, then proceeds to try and explain to me that because it’s blue dye on fresh bleached hair it can sometimes come out splotchy….Continues to try and gaslight me about how she’s highly educated and sometimes these things just happen. Will not budge on price, will not admit to messing up even though my daughter overheard the list of mistakes being discussed while I was out of earshot, to top it all off I now have a melting down 16 year old that has homecoming this Saturday!!!

Edit 1: I spent the better part of last night trying to respond to as many of you all as I could, and I have to say honestly I’m lambasted by the out pouring of support and general kindness many of you have offered. I have had a few people offer to fix it for us, and it really hits home to know there are people out there so willing to offer help to a stranger. We’re in Southeast MI so if I didn’t respond to your request to help I apologize but know that I saw it and I appreciate it tremendously. Aside from the few people that are always going to just nitpick and troll the majority of this has been so positive and welcome that my daughter and I both are much more at peace with everything. She spent a good part of this morning just reading through comments and smiling to herself because of how many people said they loved it and it means the world to me!!!! Thank you all so much!!!!!

Edit 2: I’ve spoken with the owner and was profusely apologized to. He’s decided to take her on tomorrow himself to make it right for us at no charge as well as compensating us for the situation. Thank you everyone for the advice and well wishes, and to everyone else…I hope you find happiness somewhere in life, because a lot of you truly need it. Love all of you, even the not so nice ones of you!

Edit 3: Here’s the end results after after the hairdo redo… https://imgur.com/gallery/hair-do-redo-qOpvyrz

Why? Just enjoy the fucking show.

So at work we have a wall of personal mugs from home that everyone uses. We also have another display just like in the photo for plain white mugs the company provides. I always wash up my mug and put it back on the correct wall when I’ve used it without fail (mild OCD). Well over the past few weeks a few guys keep using and leaving it dirty. I’ve made a post about it on teams when someone took a photo of my mug being dirty and left in the sink and posted it to complain when I hadn’t even been at work.
My mug is white like the corporate ones but mine is very clearly shaped like a pumpkin in person and is always on the personalised wall. They still use it after I posted. It’s such a stupid thing to get annoyed over but who uses someone else’s mug they brought from home almost every day and not even wash it up? This doesn’t happen to anyone else’s mug but mine and it’s only the men that keep using it. I have a 2 y/o at home who’s always infecting the house so if they really want to share my germs that’s on them

Edit: I don’t have a desk, I have a locker but it’s small and holds steel toe boots for a courtyard which gets dirty. The board is truly the lesser of two evils 💀

Apparently wearing headphones pretty consistently almost everyday for a couple decades can deform the shape of your head.

(Edit: For clarification, if you pay attention I never mention skull anywhere in the title or description. Also, majority of my time spent in headphones is when I'm outside listening to music, gaming headphones might take up about 8% of all time headphones use)

My dish washing gloves. This is the second or third pair that has done this. ...

EDIT: I will no longer read and respond to comments, I think I've read pretty much all the arguments people (mostly men) give me against my post, so feel free to scroll down to check my responses before commenting, kay bye :]

Bought my first house and hadn’t even moved in yet. The day after I got the keys, someone walked right into the yard in the middle of the day and sprayed tomato juice all over the facade.

My dad and the painter were inside in another room and didn’t see a thing. And because the windows were open, it didn’t just hit the outside wall — it got on the front door, the window, the porch floor, and even made it inside onto the interior floor and the windows in there too.

I was confused about the first note, because stall 92 had something other than a pickup in it the first day (the notes are from 92). I parked pretty much identical the 2nd day (when I got the other 2 notes), which is shown in the picture. My bumper is against the wall. I just emailed management and told them to move me to a different spot

Cleaning crew is hired at my work to come in once a week and clean our branch, windows, trash, mop the floor stuff like that, I'm not trying to sound entitled but they barely ever do what they're supposed to do, it got to a point where my manager was actively complaining to his higher-ups that the cleaning for wasn't doing their jobs, are windows would have stands on them for weeks on end. We've come in a few times to see trash just laying on the floor in the break room that was left behind while they were taking out the garbage. And even today when they did their job they just left their cleaning supplies out for us to put back in the storage closet. It's just frustrating to be told by people who don't do their jobs to do better, fuck those people.
