I work as the early morning freight guy(sorting through deliveries and putting inventory in the right spot etc) and I get to see how busy you guys get every day. I work full time and I NEED my weekend in order to rest/ handle things like errands, but more and more often my managers are not respecting that I have things outside of Panera bread that I have to handle. They regularly make me stay past my clock out time for things like dishes and dropping orders off, and most recently they scheduled me a sixth day in a row with absolutely no warning. I've worked here for a little over 3 months and I've had to cancel nearly every appointment, date, or outing because my boss just doesn't give a shit. I've been doing my clothes washing in the bath tub for the past 3 days because I can't get away from my job in time to get home and make an appointment. I told the manager today I need my two days, but she doesn't seem interested in fixing the schedule and I'm getting really frustrated with them. I wouldn't mind coming in if my boss had let me know at least a day in advance that I might be needed, but instead I find out the day the schedule is posted?
Development teams try their best. Sometimes what works in an alpha or even an early beta test completely collapses when certain player behaviors present themselves that increase server load - applications prove unstable over time while running etc. This is the a natural part of burn in - in any game with a major update.
Communities that crush their developers with negative crap online constantly end up with a "we're sorry to announce there will be no further development" notice. Don't be those douche bags that get the game killed over what is actually normal shit. Software development takes time.
The likelihood of you getting a great game at the end of this goes way up if we respond to this like adults and support the developers in their efforts to improve the game continuously.
Thanks.
Here I am, trying to recover from years fo being a judgmental ass to everyone due to my BPD.
I have lost all my old friends and am completely alone now.
I try to be super nice to others now, since I was such a jerk before
What I’m noticing is that most people are not cool at all.
I am saying good morning , smiling at others, listening closely to others speak, and really trying to understand and appreciate everyone.
Most people aren’t deserving. It’s sad but the amount of people that don’t smile back, or wish me a good morning in return , or listen to me is baffling. It’s most people.
Trying not to revert to being a douchebag to everyone but wow, people are very cold and distant nowadays.
I try to be a nice person and the world is shutting it down.
Need advice to deal with this before the BPD anger takes over again and I start venting in the wrong way.
When I go to the grocery store, I am often frustrated by the number of people who decide to drive past a parking space, then reverse and back in. It usually takes them a substantial amount of time to carefully align themselves between two cars, and they often have to make several further attempts, pulling in and out until they are centered. It is substantially slower than simply pulling in by the front of your car. Additionally, it is inefficient, because your trunk is now facing another car, forcing you to bring the shopping cart between the two cars in order to put your groceries in the trunk.
Defenders of the practice have told me that it saves time while pulling out. While backing out of a parking space takes less time than pulling out, backing in takes much more time than pulling in forward.
Finally, this is discourteous to other shoppers because, not only do you slow down traffic, but people behind you may not realize that you intend to back into a space, and thus pull up closer. That means that the person behind you has to stop, realize what you are doing, back up and wait for you to do the little dance that is required to perform this unnecessary maneuver.
I realize that this is a small matter, and a minor annoyance. However, I see a lot of people doing it without much justification. I can understand it for handicapped spaces, as the individual's handicap may necessitate them parking in a specific way. However, for non-handicapped individuals, I believe the practice is silly and counterproductive.
He's a prince, rich, strong, powerful, handsome, hot, a great lover and completely adores me. I'm dazzlingly exquisite and alluring, and can easily bench press 500kg! Now I remember also telling the Goddess I didn't want to be "some sickly weak girl", but come on, she knew what I meant!
Yes, I was really stupid and a bit rude, but it was her mistake and I was still really upset that I died immediately after one of the hottest guys in school confessed to me. It was probably a dare or them teasing me, which doesn't help... Dammit, I would never just DIE in such a situation!
I can just imagine that Goddess laughing and eating popcorn now...
The Prince is really dreamily hot though...
Can you relate with me and show some sympathy to justify my personality, which resembles nothing like an INTJ.
I work in a retail store popular for cosmetics and other beauty related merchandise, and part of our requirements is to have someone up at the front at all times to tell guests about our one way aisles and the fact that there aren’t testers anymore and to ask them if they have masks if they aren’t wearing them. Normally, when greeting, I stand right in the entrance so people can’t just skedaddle past me, but in this instance, I had gotten pulled away to the register.
Enter bitchy woman, her bitchy mom, and her bitchy daughter. Since I was by the register, I had to approach them from the side and slightly behind. Normally, people turn around when they are being addressed, but as soon as I greeted them and asked them if they happened to have masks with them, because of course they weren’t wearing masks, the woman kept her back to me and said, “No,” as if I was an idiot and moron for wasting her time by doing something my job requires me to do. So I start my spiel, and the whole time this lady just has her back to me, and her sneering mother and daughter won’t look at me either.
So what do I do?
I start talking as slowly as reasonably possible, asking them to remain six feet from everyone else in the store, telling them every detail of our new store standards, and including information about our extended return policy. In doing so, I stretched what is usually a 15 second monologue into at least 40 seconds if not a minute.
And then I finished it up by asking if they needed help finding something, forcing her to prolong the conversation even more with a terse “No,” or be outright rude by ignoring me. I made sure to give them a nice, cheery, “Let me know if y’all need help finding anything!”
If they’d just had an ounce of courtesy, they could have entered within seconds. Instead, I wasted a few minutes of their time.
Disclaimer since I think people are going to jump to conclusions: We are not an essential store. No one needs to come in here, so nobody’s in a rush to pick up essentials from us. We probably shouldn’t even be open, but tell that to our CEO. Additionally, there wasn’t any mention of our loyalty program, credit card, or our sales. Everything I said is important information relevant to keeping everyone in the building as safe as possible. So don’t come at me because you don’t like when retail employees pester you about the store credit card or want your phone number.
I moved into an apartment a couple months ago with two of my fraternity brothers. Roommate Y has the master bedroom while me and Roommate X have our own rooms but share a bathroom. The problem is, X has no respect for shared spaces.
For example, X always leaves the kitchen a complete mess. I'm talking like leaving spilled food to just collect on the stovetop and counters. Yesterday, I found a puddle of mustard laying on the counter and a used bay leaf sitting on the stove. That would take 15 seconds to clean up, but I guess that's too much work for X. There's always crumbs and stains on the counters and I know it's not Y doing it because X has a very distinct cuisine.
X has a fucked up sleep schedule. Actually, I don't think you could even call it a schedule. X seems to just do whatever they want, whenever they want, and goes to sleep when they're tired. Just this morning, I was woken up to the sound of X putting the dishes from the dishwasher away which would be GREAT IF IT WEREN'T 4:30 IN THE GOD DAMN MORNING. X was making no attempt to be quiet throwing silverware into the drawers and letting plates clink around. It's so bizarre. Does X not realize that other people have healthy sleep schedules and go to bed before 12am?
And now we move on to the bathroom. Oh boy, the bathroom. Like I said, X and I share a bathroom, and it's honestly the worst I've ever experienced. After 10pm, X just stops flushing the toilet so when I wake up in the morning, I'm greeted with the nice scent of aged urine wafting into my nose when I use the bathroom. Maybe X thinks they're being courteous as to not wake me up when I'm sleeping, but that doesn't make sense because of the paragraph above. Thank god X flushes when they shit so that way I don't have to deal with that.
I've thought that X maybe doesn't flush because they thinks they're saving water, but X takes a shower twice a day and uses the bathroom like 4x as much as I do, and I'm not exaggerating. X goes in there to piss probably twice an hour. I'm pretty sure X has some sort of condition, but I understand they can't control that. So not flushing to save water doesn't make much sense either.
Oh, and X's bathroom hygiene is terrible too, besides the whole not flushing part. X doesn't have great accuracy, so there will always a whole-ass tablespoon of piss just chilling on the toilet rim which I inevitably have to clean up because it doesn't seem to bother them. What I said about the kitchen counters also applie
... keep reading on reddit ➡So, I was booted from my association today. Without warning. Over the most head-scratching reasoning.
Last night, my assoc. president informed me that Discord chatting would become mandatory, and that since I haven't posted since April (as I don't use Discord at all) she felt that I "hadn't made an effort to be involved in the community". Meanwhile, I'm in the assoc. chat a few days ago asking my members who needs diamonds because I'll send them the most.....and a few days before that, congratulating another member on her marriage. She also implied that I should simply quit, out of the blue.
I asked why and how she felt unrelated conversation in a separate app was relevant to LN, and apparently random conversation helps make us competitive...?
Nonsensical reasoning aside to that, I have severe social anxiety and chatting up people I hardly know is a rather daunting task. But that night I went to bed with the resolve that, despite how silly the requirement was, I'd try to use Discord more often. Especially since I didn't want to leave the association I'd been with since I started playing back in March.
But like I said; I was kicked out this morning. With no notice and only a grossly dismissive reply about how "all top associations have this requirement."
So..... Venting aside, how exactly do the rest of you feel about this? I'm so hurt right now, and honestly feel like quitting the game after being tossed aside like this.
Are there any members or leaders of top associations that can weigh in? To me, nothing about this feels right..
EDIT: I never expected to much warmth in response to this issue! I was so worried that this behaviour would be considered normal, but I'm so pleasantly surprised. Thank you all SO much for being so encouraging and even welcoming me into your associations! I was ready to uninstall the game but after reading so much positivity, I'm not going to let one inconsiderate jerk ruin this game for me! You guys are so freaking awesome!
This just kills me every single time
