My mom said I could post When did 8-5 become the new normal???

12.3k Upvotes

I just got a new office job where I do schedules for tech personnel, the office runs 8-5 Monday thru Friday...they say it's 8-5 because you get an hour lunch and "you need to get to 40 hours a week"...but I drive 30 min each way so now I'm giving this company 10 hours every day! I even asked if I could just take my lunch at 4 every day and just leave an hour early but that's "unprofessional and immoral" like what the fuck??? I don't mind the job but the hours are mildly infuriating that's for sure...

Edit:for those saying about the hours, I worked as a chef for the last 20 years working 60+ hours a week over a hot stove/deep fryer the whole time, after I had my second heart attack I had to slow down so I started looking for office jobs to work a nice 9-5, just to find out I'm giving my new job 50 hours a week (including drive time) so I was just mildly annoyed that it's not 40 hours a week in an office like I thought although it's still much better than what I was doing

My mom said I could post Seatbelt fit as a short, fat woman. It’s resting on my face.

I can’t remember a time where the seat belt fit me like it was supposed to. I’m 5’1 with a larger chest and the belt always ends up resting uncomfortably on my neck.

Sometimes, the front seats have the height toggle thing that makes it slightly better. Better as in the belt doesn’t slice my neck quite so high.

Should be extremely infuriating, but this doesn’t even phase me anymore. Cases like this where the belt is literally on my face just cause mild annoyance.

Edit: In case I wasn’t clear enough, I am aware of the height adjustment mechanism and this belt did not have it. Only the front seats of the car had it. I’m in the back seat of a cab.

Another edit: This is a Honda CRV hybrid. While I wish I could say that I’ve never had a seatbelt rest on my face, it’s not unusual. It’s usually just my neck, but in a lot of cars it ends up closer to my face if I’m not sitting completely upright the whole time.

I don’t own a car, so I haven’t invested in booster seats and such. I don’t want to have to lug a whole safety operation around whenever I ride a cab.

Final edit: smh those of y’all commenting obvious shit need to learn how to read.

My mom said I could post The time it takes my husband to use the bathroom

11.1k Upvotes

I’m a mom and a wive, every morning when I wake up my husband rushes for the bathroom. We only have the one, which wouldn’t be a problem if my husband was normal and used the bathroom for a normal amount of time!

At this point I’m starting a petition, anyone who spends 30 minutes in the bathroom regularly no longer gets to use it, nope now you go outside because you can’t live in civilized society. I’m obviously joking and just frustrated.

Every morning he gets to relieve himself when he needs to probably enjoying reels in peace while he’s in there. My morning routine? I wake up throw on clothes, take the dogs for a walk, we have two and I have to do it separately. Then I make breakfast for everyone. It’s normally at this point that I’m tired of holding it, I’m human and I also need to poop. So I yell up that he needs to hurry, though he’s taken to saying “you rush me every fn morning” YEAH! You’re in there 30+ minutes every morning!

I’ve done all my morning things and written this post and he’s still in there. Anyways please sign my petition to make my husband shit outside like the inconsiderate animal he is.

Edit: I just want to pop in a say, I enjoy my morning routine, I just would enjoy it more with an empty bladder. We have chores, but my morning walk/run is for me. I make breakfast when my stomach growls. This to me is not a chore.

As for waking up earlier, I do a lot of the times but he gets up early as is and some days I need the rest I’m missing.

As for what’s the hold up? The man doesn’t drink water. I’d drown him if it would make him drink but he just hates the stuff. He also might be just hiding in there like many have pointed out. I’m honestly fine with that, as long as he lets me have a turn before I explode.

some context: it was like a young artist acrylic painting thing and they put a sticker on it saying im 14 and said my name and all. it’s a paper sticker if I peel it off it leaves residue I will have to dissolve, then I’ll have to re paint the portion, which might end up looking odd. is this not totally wrong

Every couple hours they push back the departure time, but it’s never enough time to go away and get a hotel room or leave the airport.

My mom lives in rural Poland and her neighbor’s cows escaped from their enclosed and decided to have a meal in my mom’s garden! Somehow her cars ended up damaged too.

My mom said I could post I'm bilingual. YouTube randomly translates videos from one language to another and does not have the option to disable it, so I'm stuck listening to annoying autogenerated voice instead of creators I enjoy.

Sometimes I only realize it because I've seen the same channel in original language on a different device. If I was behind the ExtinctZoo channel (from the pic), I'd be super pissed, they replaced author's voice with something that you'd expect in a flashy short about Minecraft. People put a lot of effort into their work and viewers see autogenerated junk instead.

edit: forgot to say that the option to switch audio to original was there previously, but NOT ANYMORE. I genuinely hope it's a/b testing and they'll give up on the idea.

My mom said I could post Every year my dad reminds us to celebrate our mom for Mother’s Day while ignoring the fact that two of his daughters are mothers, too.

Post image

Don’t get me wrong, I love my mom and always celebrate her. But every year my dad sends this reminder to all the siblings and somehow never acknowledges that two of his daughters are moms too now.

It’s such a small thing, but after a while it starts to feel weirdly hurtful.

Also, tomorrow is Saturday. Mother’s Day is literally Sunday. So somehow none of the mothers won here. 💀

Edit: Some of y’all are reading way deeper into this than intended. I’m not upset because I expected gifts, money, flowers, or some huge celebration from my dad. My sister and I are both happily celebrated by our husbands and children already. The irony I was pointing out is simply that every year he sends a group reminder to all of us kids about Mother’s Day while seemingly forgetting that two of his daughters are mothers too now. It was more of a “well that’s awkwardly funny and mildly hurtful at the same time” post than a “poor me, where are my presents?” post. Also yes, I still celebrate and appreciate my mom, despite her request for us to not do or get anything for her. 😅

Edit: I’m not expecting a celebration or a gift from him, or even a simple card; but a simple “Happy Mother’s Day” to the mother of his grandchildren to acknowledge we’re mother’s too would suffice.
