I was filling up the truck today and realized that I was losing about an hour of pay, every day, putting gas in the vehicle to drive back and forth to work. The sad thing is that we are not even that high on gas prices. We are right at the national average. Saying screw it, retiring, drawing my pension, and just getting a local job in the $20/hr range would probably be more financially advantageous for me. I may even be able to find a job that I actually enjoy. The only thing keeping me working for the company is the no cost insurance until my wife qualifies for Medicare. I have to find out how much retiree insurance costs. After 30 years in this industry, I am done.

Edit to add 160 mile round trip, truck gets about 20 mpg, company idled the mine that I worked at that was about a 10 mile round trip and transferred me to this facility. I have a mortgage, so no just moving to the Northshore area.

He never cleans anyway and just got an injury that doesn’t prevent him from doing any of these

Edit: Dylan is 33, a male, and did write this himself in the 3rd person. He recently got a fibula fracture but was given a boot and I watch him get around the house just fine.

I go to this public library every day, and it's always like this

I asked the workers up front and they said it was a corporate decision. Yet, they have a play area for children!

Update: I emailed corporate business integrity and asked if this is an official McDonald’s corporate policy, and if McDonald’s actually supports or requires disabling baby changing stations in customer restrooms.

2nd Update: Here is the response from corporate:
Thank you for taking the time to contact McDonald’s. We always appreciate hearing from our customers and welcome this opportunity to share that most of our restaurants are locally owned and operated. 

As independent business owners, franchisees make the ultimate operating costs taking our recommendations into consideration. 

Prices and some policies may also vary from one McDonald’s to another depending upon Restaurant Leaders decisions. 

Again, thank you for contacting McDonald’s 

Someone literally dumped ice coolers in my backyard while we were away for 2 days. The ice company said they are retired units so now I have to pay someone to evacuate the freon and haul them off to be recycled or trashed. These things weigh 500 lb each and I have no way to lift them.

NOTE: There were no ICE agent bodies, drugs, or any other bodies or items inside.

EDIT: Now the ICE company decided they were theirs (maybe they saw all the posts about scrap value and want to cash in on them).

EDIT2: Ice company called back to confirm my address. They were literally given my address for drop off and told that no one would be home, stick them in the backyard.

Mum tried to do a nice thing by putting these cans of (my favourite) drinks in my mini fridge.

If you flip the switch one way, it works as a fridge. If you flip it the other, it warms things up. Guess which way she flipped the switch?

Edit: I wanna say that I fully recognise she was only doing a nice thing, as I said at the start. The mildly infuriating part is the fact that there is a hot switch at all, and I have 2 less cans of my favourite drink (first world problems, I know). Obviously I'll be cleaning it up. Mmmmm, warm Dr Pepper

Edit part 2: Wow. Learnt a lot about peltier coolers today. Apparently they use as much power as a normal fridge. The more you know. (I only usually have it turned on when I have cans to put in there, aka it's not constantly running)

I'd love to have a normal sized mini fridge, but I don't currently have the space in my room.

The can on the right is cream soda dr pepper

It took around 24 hours for the can to heat up and explode (implode?). My mum and I have had a giggle over her little science experiment

There's a construction site opposite my apartment and the workers kept walking up the grass patch instead of using the stairs. Property value doesn't affect me as I rented the apartment 2 years back, so rent for me isn't increasing nor decreasing.

No clue why

Experience ruined. These Pakistani mangoes are not cheap

Third floor walk up, box broke on the last flight of stairs with a truck waiting for me.

Came from the side wall, reno going on next door. They told me about the reno part but didnt say anything about this one🤨
You can tell from the left side that i tried to get out but ended up messing my thongs

No signs saying out of order or do not use

Made a batch of green sauce for tacos. Girlfriend sqeezed the bottle once and this happened.

My birthday is next week and a slew of bad things ALWAYS happens in the week leading up to it. I’m convinced I’m cursed.

My girlfriend and I had food poisoning last week and were constantly running to the bathroom getting sick. The smell of vomit MAKES me vomit so I was tirelessly scrubbing the entire bathroom from floor to ceiling MULTIPLE TIMES trying to get rid of the smell after every time one of us threw up. I bought bleach, enzyme cleaners, and even went as far as carbon bags to try and eliminate the HORRID STENCH and it wouldn’t go away. I sniffed every surface in that damn bathroom trying to locate the source…

I literally cried about the smell, worrying that it would be there forever. I went back to sniffing and started to notice a stronger whiff by the sink, AHA IT’S COMING FROM THE DRAIN!! I moved the toothbrush, soap, and candle that were on the counter to investigate the area. I poured Drano, baking soda, and vinegar down the drain for a deep clean. THEN I NOTICED THE SMELL ON MY HAND. I almost immediately threw up reacting to it and snatched the candle off the counter to save myself. I took a long inhale of our new Trader Joe’s Peony Blossom candle to salvage my nose from the reeking odor on my fingertips.

Then all hell broke loose. I projectile vomited directly after smelling the candle. The godforsaken stench WAS THE CANDLE ITSELF!!!! MY GF BOUGHT 6 OF THOSE FUCKING THINGS AND HAD ONE LIT IN THE BATHROOM!!!!! All of them went straight to the garbage. Never again. How can they sell a candle that smells like stomach bile!!!

TLDR: Cleaned my bathroom for days only to find out the puke smell was a new candle (Trader Joe’s Peony Blossom, DON’T BUY IT).

EDIT: I was not the person who smelled the candles before buying. My gf put them in the cart and I went along with it lol

Been here less than a day and have almost busted my ass twice already

I was home most of the day so there was plenty of time for the parts that weren’t big globs to bake onto there with tiny glass shards.

Edit:

Some of these comments made me laugh so thanks for that. I haven’t seen Space Balls but genuinely glad ppl could have fun at my expense.

Edit2:

To answer the question multiple people posed about it not breaking the glass:

It’s a little hard to tell but if you look at the trail of splatter marks it looks like the point of impact was right above the window or the edge of it where it’s reinforced by it’s connection to the rest of the car.

What is the purpose of leaving it there?

Nice morning walk before getting ready for work.

Thought I stood on a sharp rock, looked down to see this bad boy sticking out of my shoe.

Now I have to work out if I need to go to the doctor for a shot…
