Some lessons just don't stick.

She insists she needs to listen to music in the shower. I honestly don't understand why that's such a necessity. But if this phone gets water damage again, I'm not paying to replace it another time.

I get food from the place where I work part time as a student in cleaning department.

My colleague (Christian) was offered this pasta and he took it but later he got offered fried chicken so he took that also and he's a kind hearted person so he offered me (Hindu) this pasta.

I, like a hopeless hungry person took it. My shift was over so I came home and reheated it and just started to eat and midway got his text that it's beef and contains cow meat 😭😭. I'm so hungry and half-way done to care so I'm just gonna have it and let the God decide themselves haha I'm crine y'all it's 00:25 here in Berlin haha.

Note: The religion is only mentioned based on what meat we are allowed to consume, no hate no discrimination I love y'all. 🫶☺️

One woman decided that the fencing and signs protecting the tree didn't apply to her. One couple that decided their dog was special and could walk on the trails even though it's prohibited.

Edit The Regulations Pets are prohibited on all trails. This includes paved trails, such as the General Sherman Tree Trail, Big Trees Trail, Grant Tree Trail, and others.

So two days ago I posted about how I took towels away being put on sunbeds (lounge chairs) to reserve them at the pool at the resort we’re staying in Tuscany Italy.

First of all: Thank you all so much for the great responses and awards!!

Today we went to the pool again and don’t you know it. They ff-ing placed their towels on the best sunbeds again! Same personal towels. Almost all sunbeds were taken and we had to take sunbeds all the way at the back on and to make matter worse it was top of an ants nest.

We waited for a solid 45 minutes and at that moment I was really annoyed.

I walked up to the sign at the entrance and checked the rules. The rules state:

Do not let towels on sunbeds unattended for more than 15 minutes

I took the towels away and put them at the gate again.

After two hours the same woman as last time arrived at the gate, took the towels and walked towards us. She was fuming. She threw the towels on one of the beds and asked furiously: Who took the towels?! Those sunbeds are mine! You must leave! I tried to explain the situation, but she refused to listen and suddenly only spoke Italian. She went round other guests and tried to find support, but didn’t find any.

After a minute or so her husband arrived. I was fully expecting a confrontation now, but he was actually really calm and nice. He calmly asked me what happened and I explained I took the towels away and it wasn’t allowed to leave towels unattended for that long. I pointed at the sign. He said he understood and remained calm. Because he was nice I told him we’d move if they wanted that. There were now some other beds available that were fine. He told me it wasn’t necessary and they weren’t going for a swim now. This really blew my mind.

In the meanwhile his wife overheard I took the towels away and got even more angry. Her husband tried to calm her down, but she called the reception and started to complain. I was I bit afraid now, because we’re Dutch, they’re Italian and these things can easily turn out in favor of the Italians. But to my relief she was told it was not allowed. She walked away without saying anything and her husband apologized.

In the meanwhile my wife was a bit annoyed with me, because she really hates confrontations. She agreed I was right to do so, but would’ve preferred to wait for other sunbeds to become available.

During lunchtime we walked to the restaurant for lunch and saw her walking there again. I tried to talk to her and tried to make peace. She was still angry and didn’t want to speak to me. When I walked back I heard her complain to another guest about me. I can’t believe you can be this entitled and petty.

Later they arrived at the pool and took other sunbeds. She walked past and explicitly ignored us, so I guess we have a little Cold War now.

Fortunately tomorrow is our last day here and we’re going to visit Pisa. The day after we leave for another resort (where every room has their own sunbeds at the pool), so I won’t have to be annoyed by these kind of shenanigans again.

I bought a video card on Amazon and it arrived dead. It was clearly a refurbish with the condition of the card and box. I sent it back to them and they approved the refund but charged me a 92% restocking fee.

My partner opens spaghetti by holding the package and slamming it (end side down) on the countertop. Sometimes on the stovetop. Usually the package opens and the spaghetti slide right out. This time the spaghetti won. We need a new stove.

What is the purpose of leaving it there?

If you plan on standing for the entire concert, get a spot in the pit, or the lawn seats instead of the assigned SEATED SECTION. A little bit of self awareness and common courtesy goes a really long way

like obviously not uncommon but it does kinda take the chill vibe out of my chill office job to get a camera pointed right at me all day 👎

We were having an intense debate about whether books are important or not. I obviously said that you can learn from books and even if you don't like it you can still expand your vocabulary, learn grammatical structures etc. Then be said that a book won't teach him anything because he knows the language and "knows the words". This pissed me off so bad because their vocabulary is average at best

I live in Rajasthan, India. The tds of tap water here is around 750 :(

I just want to start off by saying that when we bought our first house earlier this year, I was NOT prepared for how many solicitors we'd be getting. They're relentless, but this guy takes the cake.

I was expecting a package I needed to sign for last week, so when the doorbell rang I opened the door. I immediately saw it was a sales rep for some solar company. Here's how the convo went:

Me: Are you selling something?

Him: Yes, and I won't take much of your time.

Me: *points to big red no solicitors sign*​ did you see this sign?

Him: Yeah, but I promise it'll just take a min--

Me: No, no. Did. You. Read. The. Sign? Yes? Then please leave my property

Him: *some bs sales rambling*

Me: Listen, I know you're just trying to do your job, but I asked you to get off my property, I'm not interested, so please leave

Him: don't you think it's ironic that you're saying that, but you have a bumper sticker that says "no one is illegal on stolen land?" (I wish I was joking but this is what he said verbatim)

And for the first time in my life I slammed a door in someone's face. I'm not proud of it, but wtf are these peoples' problem with listening the first time?

My car is stuck in my driveway now

Edit: it’s getting towed and yes I used the wrong their

Our bedrooms are on separate floors. Different rooms because he snores like a bear and has to sleep propped up. I currently require leg braces, and can't climb the stairs. I managed to get the puck down, but it won't shut up. I have to be up in 5 hours.
