30 Funny, Petty, And Rude Things People Have Seen Done To Customers' Orders At Restaurants

As someone dealing with an ED that meticulously counts calories on every single thing I put in my mouth, this would absolutely horrify me. Like, I would completely freak out. Spilling water or not offering refunds is one thing, but tampering with the amount of calories/food for the purpose of fattening someone up- that's my worst nightmare. For God's sake, don't do this.

Woman Was Married To Her Husband For 10 Years And After He Passed Away, She Contacted His Mistress To Break The News To Her

This whole situation is so cringe. why on earth would you go tell the mistress but then not tell her where hes burried? Because you're cruel and wanted to hurt her. Sure shes a nasty harpee but seems like OP is too

Honestly having to go to church as a little kid. Felt like an endurance test every Sunday to just get through it. Like, dude I’m 6 I wanna play with my action figures or be outside or game. I don’t wanna fight the fidgets in the pew listening to adults breathy sing to tired hymns while I just want it to end so I can go be a kid on the weekend. Then as I got older all the obvious reasons you see everywhere, the contradictions, violence, stupidity etc

Ruined-Religion-Reddit

There was never an answer. I wanted to believe desperately. I wanted to and I begged God to allow me to be doubtless. I tried and tried and tried to make it work. To make it fit. I asked questions. I wondered. I pondered. I just got to a point where there were no more answers. No one had an answer that made sense. Nothing that the next person couldn’t alter or contradict. Nothing that was ‘set’ or ‘fixed.’ It was all up in the air and I just needed more faith. I tried. I really did. But my mind just won’t allow it anymore.

YES YES YES!!! Wanna hear MY five second rant? No? Then, universal healthcare NOW! I've worked all the difficult crummy jobs that give you no benefits. I've spent half my life with no coverage. I've survived a lifelong life threatening IBD condition. Medicaid basically saved my butt. But why doesn't everyone have coverage? ALL the coverage? Eyes and teeth are important too. Why is your employer responsible for this? They may be a small business who can't afford it, or a big corporation who sleazenbags its employees into 39.9 hours just shy of "coverage"...or you're working three part time jobs to make ends meet and still have no coverage. And no one should lose their home because they could not pay medical bills or racked up huge debt. The situation is ridiculous, and destroys lives.

Woman Asked If People Consider 23 Minutes A Walking Distance And Created Quite A Debate On Twitter

It's not just about where you live and what shoes you're wearing. Do you have 23 minutes to walk each way when the drive would be about five minutes? Do you have a gaggle of small children to get from point A to point B? Are you lugging laundry to the laundromat and back, or groceries? What's the weather? Obviously I would love to take a leisurely stroll alone in the park for 23 minutes on a lovely day, but that isn't my life.

US is not balking at the distance/time it's the expected weather/terrain/social dangers. Hometown in Alaska is only 2mi long, but on a mountain, in the rainforest. Other cities, Las Vegas 100-120f for 9 months. Oregon was pleasant in some places.

You have the Selective Service System, where almost all men ages 18-25 who are U.S. citizens or are immigrants living in the U.S. are required to register with Selective Service. Citizens must register within 30 days of turning 18. Immigrants must register within 30 days of arriving in the U.S.. If Congress and the president authorize a draft, the Selective Service System will start calling registered men ages 18-25 for duty. The men will be called in a sequence determined by random lottery number and year of birth. The men will be examined for mental, physical, and moral fitness for military service. They'll either be deferred or exempted from military service or they’ll be inducted into the armed forces. https://www.usa.gov/selective-service

I want to add the barbaric eviction process you Americans have where you send armed police to serve tenants eviction notices and then send SWAT on eviction day. What other country does that? Usually it's the landlord's business and the police are only called if an escalation arises or if the person refuses to vacate. As well as your insistent on arresting college students for having a drink or being drunk in public, even if they are going from the cab to their house. I saw that once on Campus Police. A girl had just stepped out of her lift and was about to go into her house and these cops arrested her for public intoxication. All these young adult's college enrollment and careers ruined for what? Having a fun night?

35 Petty Things People Actually Did To Take Revenge On Someone Who Wronged Them

Something about the way this is written feels off to me. I'm not sure I buy the OP story. Obviously these are all very one sided. But this one just seems vindictive and like they very trying to climb up the ladder and looking for ways to push the older woman out. I reckon if we could hear what other people in the office think of OP it wouldn't be too flattering, just a hunch.

"We have a big family & enjoyed cook outs during the summer months. They hated us having parties & we weren’t even doing anything out of the ordinary." Big Family, Cook outs, Parties. Yeah, this sounds like the neighbors from hell. Poor old couple.

Raised by a preacher. She'd use 'examples' and tell stories in her sermons that I knew weren't true/had never happened, and the congregation would take it as gospel. There was also a period of time in which her parenting skills took a nosedive and I struggled for it. No cult though, just good old American Christianity

30 Ex-Employees Reveal The “Dark Secrets” About Their Former Jobs That Common People Aren’t Supposed To Know

Worked at a locally owned supermarket that went out of business shortly after I left. The owner (old, a*****e) would have me the only person working on closing shift (in the day we had two cashiers, someone in the office, and two stockers). I wasn't allowed to leave my register and would get written up if I did. I was also supposed to clean the entire store every night. Without leaving my register. I was also given strong hints that it was Totally Fine if my register 'couldn't handle' SNAP, WIC, or EBT cards. It could. There was a button for that. He just hated poor people. He also marked up the price on formula even higher than it should have been and we were the only place in town that sold one of the special nutrition formulas. Shouldn't have given me the code to manually adjust the price, jerk.

Whatever you do, don't dissolve styrofoam in diesel and then add a little bit of motor oil to lengthen the burn time. It doesn't do anything so doing that is pointless.

Cops can and will say they're going to get you on something really bad but they'll lighten the punishment if you just confess to __________. Do not trust this. If you get picked up by a cop in the US, ask if you're being detained. If they aren't detaining you, you can go. If you are detained, don't say anything without a lawyer present. And be careful how you word it - you can say "I won't say anything without a lawyer here" but that won't get you any closer to actually getting the lawyer there because it's not actually a request for a lawyer. Side note, somewhat unrelated: if a cop ever takes off his badge while standing in front of you, you get the hell out of there
