I don’t recall anyone ever saying that, unless it was to make a joke.

That would have to be the manager who complained to my manager that I was too friendly and wasting his time by saying hello and asking how his day was going every time we talked on the phone. 😐

I’m gonna be the cynic and say it - I think what we have here is a scammer hoping people will reach out with donations.

The account didn’t exist before this post was made. OP has a 76 IQ but uses perfect sentence structure, grammar, punctuation, paragraphs and five-syllable words like qualification. My spidey sense is tingling.

I have a similar story. One of the security guards was found to have a hard drive full of BDSM porn. When interrogated about it, she said “It’s not pornography. Those are my holiday photos.” And sure enough, she was the one holding the whip.

The compromise reached was that she wouldn’t put her holiday photos on her office computer any more.

A lot of the time I’ll read a thread, realise I have nothing useful to add, and move on.

One of my current co-workers. In his previous job, his company had him managing a warehouse by himself. Doing all the work, including the jobs that by the company handbook required two people and protective gear that they also didn’t provide. When they were finished with that place they fired him for ‘working unsafely’.

Not his responsibility, but still a dumb way to get rid of an excess employee.

I see some of the strangest questions in the sub. Objectively awful thing that only benefits a morally bankrupt few - yes or no?

Local council food scrap bags. We’re supposed to separate our food waste and store it in compostable bags made of cornstarch plastic. Which start to break down the moment you put something wet in there, like food tends to be. How hard is it to design a bag that stays intact from Wednesday to Wednesday?!

Whatever, now my wife has her own compost bin I can cut out the middle man.

Hell if I know. That was 30+ years ago.

Hoodie, tracksuit pants, woolly socks. Time at home is time not wearing a belt.

I don’t know what soap opera it was, because it was playing on the TV at my barber’s shop while I was in the chair. A woman started shooting at some people who had disappointed her. Just livin’ the dream.

I bet Jörmungandr the world-serpent, who gnaws at the roots of Yggdrasil-tree, destined to kill and be killed by Thor, tastes like chicken.

A golden apple enscribed with “kallisti”.

Because we have a flag because everyone benefits from the effort to learn about and educate about ancient cultures. We presume that even those cultures benefit, because the memory of them is preserved instead of being forgotten.

Digging up artefacts for private collections, though - that’s just grave robbery with a shine on it.

I’ve been confused about it in the past, but I eventually settled on mould if it grows and mold if it’s taking shape. I’m willing to let the rest of the internet be wrong about it, though.

Pretty great. I have money and free time.

This particular day I feel like a fistfight between me and Stephen Hawking would be too close to call.

I have some Brittany Spears and Backstreet Boys on my gym mix.

I gave at the office.

Dear God, this community has been nihilistic lately.
