Join a party? Minecraft doesn't really have a concept of partying, unless it is a mod of some time. And griefing other people's builds was a big problem, but most servers turn griefing off.
OP might have meant that her brother joined ex's minecraft world.

I had the opposite idea... if you budge your steering more than 5 degrees to the side, it automatically turns on the turn signal
I figured this out years ago - If the car makers can detect when you're driving out of your lane, and warn you, then the same little computer could detect when you're turning, say, more than 60 degrees, and also detect whether the signal was on. Then, when you go to get your yearly licence renewed, the clerk taps into that computer, and charges you extra for all those times you turned without signalling. One single year would rid us of the BMW curse.

A brain delay device that requires you to think for a short period of time before responding.
I already have that. It delays my response in an argument until three weeks later. Not as useful as you'd think. 😉
Load More Replies...Ya but what if your using your phone for Google Maps or music?!?
Load More Replies...How about a car that reads your mind and puts the signal on for you?
New cars with assistants already show some resistance if you change the lane without the signal turned on... I`m always really startled when people complain about this feature. Riding motorcycle this is a life or death feature for me.
*swerves to avoid accident* car responds with *nope, you didn’t signal, you are heading straight on* me *braces for impact*
Just like with any good experiment! You need a control 🧑🔬
Well, I tried high jump in high school. So the "control" for that entails a really low bar that I still manage to land directly on.

We could get hurt even trying many of the events. My children were in a gymnastic club years ago. When my wife and I went to pick them up, people were setting up apparatus for older children. I saw the still rings and mentioned to my wife that I had not seen those since high school. An instructor was behind me. He asked me to try them and see what I remembered. Then, my children started asking me to try. I surprised myself with how well I was doing and tried to do an iron cross (start with arms at the side and gradually lower yourself until they are horizontal). I got half way there, then my hands smashed together over my head. The bruising was so bad that people at work asked if I had been in a fight.
Even an athlete from another sport would show (by their lack) the skills necessary. I have occasionally seen a color piece where the network sets up two athletes from different sports to try each other's. It is instructive.

The ‘Really Dumb Tweets’ project is very popular with the Instagram crowd. It prides itself on “posting the funniest tweets you’ll ever read.” At the time of writing, the curator of the page had attracted a jaw-dropping 1.6 million followers.
Of course, this didn’t just happen overnight. No! It took years of hard work and consistent posting. The Instagram account will be celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.
Every pakistani house has it too. I am sure we didn't invent it though. But our moms generally are keepers of things that "might come in handy someday"
That's universal too, I have drawers and cupboards full of junk that "might come in handy someday" (and I'm not even a mother) - we're all far more alike than different.

'Le Bag'! My mum had one of those things ^-^ LOL, a great example of adding 'le' in front of something so it's 'fancier'
Load More Replies...My mother was born in Cuba. Once, in our Long Island, house, she was throwing out the plastic garbage bags, wondering out loud why “white people keep them.” Decades later, I still feel a little like a culture traitor when saving my grocery bags.
They do come in handy though. I donated mine to the school district for kids to take their lunches home in when they went back to school after covid but weren't allowed to serve lunch in the cafeteria yet. I had so many they put out a notice that they didn't need any more after they got mine, lol.
Load More Replies...Standard white middle-aged American guy here, and I'm sorry to report that my family also has a bag o' bags. Though I do roll mine into little rosebuds to save space.
Every NZ house used to have it. They banned plastic grocery bags a while back, now we have piles of re-useable ones and paper ones 😅 I actually sold an older plastic bag with an older supermarket logo to a collector. It's a nostalgia thing now. But it's not better. Like, i used to use plastic grocery bags as bin liners, now I need to buy bags to use, but at least they are biodegradable I guess. They feel weird lol. (im a bit squeamish about bin germs, in that the amount of chemicals id be using daily to wash my bin if I didn't use a bag would be just as bad environmentally)
South Africa here. Everyone has a bag of bags in their house. Ironically, we're supposed to re-use them because they charge like ZAR 1 per bag at the grocery shop. However, you always forget the bag of bags at home, meaning you end up buying more of them and adding them to the collection.
Yep, the "plastic bag full of plastic bags" is evolving into the "reusable bag full of reusable bags" 😅
Load More Replies...Culture difference! I as a Finn have a narrow cabinet filled with plastic bags where I just shove new ones in the front instead of the bag of bags, just like my parents taught me.
My high a*s laughed harder than my white a*s should have.I then felt guilty and then angry that anyone should have ever been subject to the brutal stupidity of racism.
I had a disturbingly similar experience here in Hamburg, Germany, early one Sunday morning. Bit of background: I'm British and Jewish, had been living in Hamburg for about 10 years at that point. So, I was walking home from a long summer night out in the early hours so it was already light but there was no one around. I turned the corner and came face to face with the law courts, decked out with long swastika banners, with people wearing Nazi uniforms outside. My heart nearly stopped! Anyway, when it started again, I realised they were making a film. They had to do it at a time when there was a very low likelihood of people being around because the use and display of this symbol is illegal in Germany. Just their luck that it was seen by one of the (relatively) few Jews in town!
Love this! Definitely have come across (& promptly removed from my life) people like this. Only issue I have with it is the masculine explanation. Other genders are just a capable of attaining this award
However many people might enjoy X as a social network, it isn’t without its flaws and controversies. As reported by The Guardian, after Elon Musk took over Twitter in October 2020 (and rebranded it as X in July 2023), the social media platform has lost a whopping 71% of its value.
So, a network that was bought for $44 billion (yes, ‘billion’ with a ‘b’) has lost nearly three-quarters of its worth in less than two years. This is staggering.
This begs the question, what are they going to do before my next colonoscopy?

The fact that he is worried about the cat makes me believe he will turn out alright! Yes indeedy!
Anytime there's a cat or dog in a movie I always end up more concerned about what happened to the animal than what's going on with the characters. My husband gets annoyed watching movies with me. "But what happened to the dog? Where is the cat did he make it inside? Are they just going to leave the horse there he doesn't have any water!?"
Load More Replies...I knew a child like this, not everyone enjoys surprises, no matter how fun. Some people need time to wrap their head around an upcoming activity and get excited.
I'm mildly autistic, and surprises were always a problem for me since I need time to parse and place sudden changes. In short, I can't be happily surprised at the exact moment, even seem a bit cold or emotionless.Or react like this kid with something unexpected. But I will probably like it and be happy if you give me something like half an hour minimum to adjust. This has lead to some disappointment among people trying to surprise me in my childhood I can tell you.
Load More Replies...This reminds me when I took my kids on a trip to "Southern California" - my youngest said "Hey look! Our hotel is right by Disneyland!" and STILL didn't realize we were going to Disneyland in the morning. Such sweet innocence.
Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT have a pillow fight with a memory foam pillow.
It’s not just the network’s value that’s dropped. Many users have been leaving the platform en masse after Musk’s takeover and ensuing changes. X’s monthly user numbers dropped around 15% in the first year since the entrepreneur bought it.
These users were concerned over the rise of hate speech and disinformation on X. Meanwhile, Musk has reduced the moderation of content and cut around half of all employees.

There’s no ‘perfect’ formula for having your posts go viral on social media. However, there are lots of small things that you can do. Then—with a bit of luck—you might find hundreds, thousands, and sometimes even millions of people enjoying your content. One of the most essential things that you can do is make your content relatable.
Lab grown diamonds are literally the exact same thing as natural diamonds....minus all the bloodshed
I used to work in the business, and every day there would be an announcement that someone had died, in a mine, mining greed for silly people. For every 1 diamond harvested, at least 2 people die..... go work the horrible math for yourself and DO NOT BUY DEATH GEMS
FYI: Diamonds ARE NOT EVEN " rare"... If you think that's not the, walk into ANY jewelry store ANYWHERE... stone ratio: Diamonds 95% of the stones available.. Color gems 5% of the stones available... DIAMONDS DO NOT NEED TO BE MINED ANYMORE!!!!
There's rumor DeBeers plans to swamp the market with synthetic diamonds to bring down their price. The goal is of course to ramp up the price of mined diamonds. By the way: There is no reason at all for diamonds to be this epensive. It's the monopoly that decided to make them so and the marketing that keeps it this way.
Whomever wrote the marketing materials for "natural" diamonds (diamonds are forever, two months salary is what you should spend) have a lot to answer for. It's made people believe a specific kind of rock is the only one you can use for an engagement ring and how much you spend is directly proportional to how much you love your partner. It's sick.

TBH, if you’re able to successfully run a crime family (thuggery and hits aside), you most likely are smart and have some natural business savvy. It pains me to see so many people with that potential turn to illegal business instead of legitimate. Glad to see one that gave up the illegal for the legit, and make a totally above board success of it.
Like in this Woody Allen movie, where he rents a store and his wife should sell cookies as an alibi business so he and the others can dig a tunnel to a bank in the basement undisturbed and very soon the cookie business makes a lot of money, which makes the planned theft superfluous...🙋🏽

Naturally, different people have different interests and senses of humor. So no matter what kind of content you post, you won’t be able to make everyone happy. And that’s all right. Content creators need to embrace this fact. They can then think about the type of audience they want to attract with their favorite content.

Are the content creators aiming for broad(er) appeal with non-offensive posts and dad jokes? Or do they want to have a more niche fan base that enjoys more unique interests or slightly edgier jokes and dark humor?
Whatever the case may be, it’s important to be consistent once you make that choice. You can’t cover everything and anything on a single social media account because your audience won’t know what to expect.

I would rather have my five year old speaking clearly (or at least as clearly as they’re capable of) like an adult than babbling the few words they know incoherently so you have no idea what they’re saying.
i love that kid. his name is herbert, i just KNOW it.
Load More Replies...People always think of memory decline in the elderly but don't seem to realize how much of a steep IQ drop there is from newborns on up. Learning a language is easy for them as long as they aren't given bad data like "baby talk" and other BS. Not saying to force them into all study no fun, but anything you can get them interested in and have them study on their own helps immensely. Only down side is when they hit school age you will have to be after the school to place them appropriately for each subject so they don't get bored, the elite noticed an experiment where a baby was raised with a monkey and saw how it destroyed their intelligence so that is why they forced a least common denominator approach to public school curriculum.
Yep, things aren't always what they seem, so mind your own business unless it looks like someone is about to be physically hurt.
I had a teacher tell me believe none of what you hear and half of what you see. I've always thought that was a pretty good standard to live by.

Ideally, you’ll keep doing that. If you were to suddenly pivot and start posting car memes or political commentary, you’d only confuse your audience.
And it only worked because he was a decent guy who respected his wife's intelligent. That's a keeper.
If your day entails a lot of concentration and mind power work, sometimes it’s relaxing to do an easy and repetitive job like washing dishes, doing laundry, folding laundry, etc. Something that isn’t hard work, and doesn’t take a lot of brainpower, aside from just using the correct stuff to get it clean. The great thing about laundry is that the washing and drying is just setting a dial and pushing (or pulling) it.
Well, the Woman-owned laundry service that I patronize will definitely disagree but YAAY Grandma! 😉

My favorite play on names is something I learned in Texas history. Governor Jim Hogg, elected in 1890, had four children, including his daughter which he named Ima. From Wikipedia: Ima Hogg (July 10, 1882 – August 19, 1975), known as "The First Lady of Texas", was an American society leader, philanthropist, mental health advocate, patron and collector of the arts, and one of the most respected women in Texas during the 20th century. Hogg was an avid art collector, and owned works by Picasso, Klee, and Matisse, among others. Hogg donated hundreds of pieces of artwork to Houston's Museum of Fine Arts and served on a committee to plan the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. An enthusiastic collector of early American antiques, she also served on a committee tasked with locating historical furniture for the White House. She restored and refurbished several properties, including the Varner plantation and Bayou Bend, which she later donated to Texas arts and historical institutions.
Ima Hogg's first name was taken from The Fate of Marvin, an epic poem written by her uncle Thomas Hogg. She endeavored to downplay her unusual name by signing her first name illegibly and having her stationery printed with "I. Hogg" or "Miss Hogg". Although it was rumored that Hogg had a sister or sisters, whose names was suggested to be "Hoosa Hogg", "Ura Hogg" or "Wera Hogg", she had only brothers.
Load More Replies...Though you don’t have to focus on humor in your posts if you don’t want to, the simple fact is that it helps you stand out. If your jokes and insights are original and genuinely funny, folks will remember you.
Making others laugh and smile is a very powerful thing. Combine that with some authenticity on your part (instead of just playing a specific character), and you’ve got something special.
Awwwwwww........When my mom was going into open heart surgery, I was walking along side her gurney whispering "Mama, if you see a light, don't you dare walk towards it! I will have a huuuuge chocolate sundae waiting for you when you come home". Whelp, when she was recovering, she looked at me all angelic like and whispered, "I'd like my sundae, please". 😍
I wanted these little milk chocolate balls in a white shell called snowballs (I think) when I came round after nearly dying as a kid. Had to hide them under the covers when the doctor did his rounds. It was the only time I truly felt close to my mum because we exchanged a brief conspiratorial glance.
Cue the 2010 SNL sketch with Betty White talking about her moist muffin.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-7Kd6FwfB8
Evidently, God wanted this person to have a few more chocolate muffins and see that his or her family would be happy with the outcome!
How exactly does this work? She has not had a chance to get to the first window yet so how did you have a receipt by the second window? Maybe it's because I'm not from America but here we have 3 windows, first to order, second to pay, and third to collect. It seems there you order and pay at the first window and second one you pick up, which makes sense, but how did anyone know what food she wanted? I guess they went to ask her?
You order at a speaker, drive to window one after speaker, then drive to window two. So by the time lady who paid for other persons food was at window 1, the other person was behind them ordering at speaker. She probably waited until their order was finished at window 1 and told them she wanted to pay for their food

If you don't have kids, the lights aren't left on and the remote is right where you left it.

I would reply "l'm so sorry l overlooked your email on the 28 working minutes it's been on my inbox. I'll try and be more diligent next time"
I shall provide the unnecessary math work here for those unaware or lazy. OP ended his work at 5 on friday (13 minutes of mail being in his inbox while working). Then proceeds "3 days" of non-working days (0 minutes). OP comes in on Monday at 8 where 15 minutes, while working, go by until he sees the email that was "3 days old". 13+0+15=28. Thus concludes this time wasteful math lesson.

I once got accused of cheating, because my pen ran out of ink halfway through, and I had to switch to a new one, and I obviously cheated, cuz the ink changed halfway through... WTF? It was handed out to me at the beginning of class, was done there with the teacher watching, and was handed in within less than 30 minutes. I always get A's on tests, and don't do my homework. Turns out I'm autistic.. joke's on them.
My class was going to the cinema. Only I didn't bring money, as I was visibly poor. The teacher asked the principal to come and they together criticised me in front of my classmates. Then the class left and I was locked in the classroom until they came back. That was in 2000. Now I'm a teacher and can't believe how much school workers spoil children.

It was for a high school English class that I thought was a joke because my dad teaches English and I got a better education at home when I was much younger. I got an A. These days, you don't cheat and you get accused of it...

I've watched a few when the wife binged them from time to time. They really do paint women in an awful light. Usually wrong, making bad decisions, sometimes out of spite. Trying way too hard at something they should easily be and to judge isn't possible in the time allotted etc. and then "saved" by the sensible man who's been shaking his head at her the whole movie

Load More Replies...The love interests are always vastly different kinds of people with nothing at all in common. I expect a year after the movie ends, they're filing for divorce.
I don't watch them, but I will sit beside my wife while she binge watches them before Christmas. It gets confusing. My wife will say something about the movie. I will watch a bit while talking to her. This happens a while later. I make a comment about the bad guy, and my wife explains that he was the bad guy in the previous movie, which ended 10 minutes ago. He is now the good guy, and the guy who was the good guy is now the bad guy.
I imagine a group of 40's movie actors sitting around watching one of those Hallmark movies, and shaking their heads in dismay.
The thing you NEVER see anymore that used to be a thing in those 40's movies is that there was a plot, a sub plot, several other story arcs all interlaced. Now it's one crippled plot that falls apart if you aren't stone drunk.

That is why i prefer korean drama. Many of them are very good because they do not push their character into stupid relationships completely irrelevant to the plot and ruining an otherwise good movie. Also, no awkward bedscenes.
i've literally been on a k-drama binge for like a month now. i'm watching one now, in fact. and i agree with you. i also like that the men have no problem crying or being vulnerable or admitting they like/love the woman, even if she doesn't like them back. the protagonists also tend to not lie or be deceitful/shady for no apparent reason in their movies. i love that.

I read this as "turn over this number of glasses" and thought it was a reference to drinking alcohol shots.
As a northern Canadian , growing up it was the complete opposite. We went shopping (or mom made) costumes that were intentionally huge for our snow suits to fit underneath, and the first time I saw a movie with kids trick-or-treating in pretty princess gowns that weren't covered up, and NO SNOW on the ground, I was mind blown.
Yep! In Northern Alberta I was a princess every year, but my mum designed it over my little snowsuit so I kind of looked like a Michelin man princess
Load More Replies...My mom made one costume for inside at school and one that fit over warm clothes for trick or treating.
Snowmobile suit(the full body kind) under my fairy princess costume on Hallowe’en when I was 7. I’m Canadian.
Completely get it. This op's post seems backwards from what I remember growing up.

My dad sometimes says "we have other plans" when told "have a nice night" just to mess with them n give them something to share after work
If someone says "have a nice day" or suchlike I usually say "sorry but I've got something else planned".
Two years ago one of my students died suddenly. A few weeks later his parents and brother came to clear out his locker and talk a bit. Turns out the brother was his identical twin. We had more than a few shocked and confused looks.

Load More Replies...Or he just has a life he has to pay attention to—-I don’t mean he’s married or has a girlfriend, I mean he’s just a normally busy grownup—-and isn’t hovering desperately over his cellphone waiting for a call or text. He’s more likely responding to your text, then (for example) eating lunch, then responding to your next text, unless you respond to him immediately, before he gets up to eat. The simplest explanation is usually the truth. Give the benefit of the doubt u til you have concrete proof otherwise.
Or he just isn't super obsessed with his phone and does other things.
Hmmm... This could show where his priorities are and where you rank
Now this is me except I forgot about the text for 3 hours once
I do this to my bf. Love him but if im playing lethal company im focusing on not getting my neck snapped in that thanks
then he should SAY THAT! if i know there's a distraction, im less likely to be upset by the delay!
Maybe try having boundaries and not expect him to do as you please. Are you okay with the roles being reversed?
Load More Replies...It's like when I was a small child (in Utah) and was trying to explain to my cousin where my school was. I said "It's next door to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints." I was all proud of myself that I remembered such a long name , but my cousin just cracked up laughing. That was the day I learned Mormons' government name.
Wait, wait, he memorized the perfume his wife had at home which said tester. She either stole the perfume or works at a beauty department in a store.
I'm still not sure about mine. It was a present and we have a tiny kitchen with very limited surface space. So far, I have made good sweet potato fries in it but not much else. It bothers me every time I look at it because it takes up so much space and makes it hard to use other appliances. But I don't want to seem ungrateful. Even though I got it a week after my birthday, unwrapped.
Load More Replies...Ouf... something similar happened to me once. One of the presents I got my wife for Christmas one year was a fancy tripod for her camera (she had just taken up photography). A few days before christmas at her parent's house, she causally mentions that she needs a tripod- my father-in-law (who was an art professor at the time) was like, "oh, I have a ton from my classes that aren't used anymore. Just take whichever one you like." Not sure how I kept a straight face after that...
I don't understand the hype around so-called "air fryers". It's a frickin convection oven and we've had them for, like, forever.

Good for you. When it goes from being a kindness to a guilt trip it's time to break the chain.
But it’s fun when you choose to do it. I won’t give a person cash, but I’ll buy him food.
Load More Replies...It's like being asked "do you want to add (X) amount to your bill" when at a checkout for a charity they support. They seem shocked when I say no. (Don't worry, I have charities of my own I DO support).
I laugh every time the supermarket screen asks me when I check out if I want to donate to some random charity. They make millions of dollars in profits yearly off their insanely high prices. How about this...I pay my bill and you greedy corporate bastards take a portion of your profits and donate it instead? OR, maybe just maybe, stop price gouging so everyone can afford decent food again? I know, it's crazy talk.../s.
Load More Replies...If the order of the car behind me is more than what I was prepared to pay for my own then I would break the chain too.
The car behind me can afford to pay for their own order, otherwise they shouldn't be in line.
I have never been shamed or guilted. Sometimes I pay it forward, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I start one
As a former Starbucks barista, we'd prefer you accept the kindness and go. It gets complicated tracking the orders, and there is a lot of pressure to keep drive thru times low.
I actually have a friend named Elizabeth who goes by Liz and her childhood nickname that she still uses as an adult is Lizard.
My nickname sometimes as a kid was Lizardbreath because of how it sounds like Elizabeth. Hahaha good times

I was watching a veterinarian show. They cut to the vets 6 year old daughter. She got a new puppy and her dad asked her what she wanted to name it. Her immediate response was "skullcrusher!" Her dad said "I'm not yelling skullcrusher across the park!" So they named it "skully."
i'm still mad at jessica biel for not naming her kid batmo... :-(
I once knew a woman named Sherry, when I asked her if that was her given name or whether it was short for something she turned beetroot red and mumbled "No, it's short for Sheherazade", which I think is a beautiful name.
this is for all the females named Elizabeth that were actually called 'lizard!'
I found a phone once. held on to it waiting fora call so I could find the owner, meet up, and hand it over. it finally rang and they threatened me so I took it t the nearest carrier store. good luck
This happened to me too! I found a phone in a bathroom stall at the LA zoo and started walking to one of the service desk areas to turn it in. It rang so I answered it to let the person know I had found it and where they could pick it up. They started cussing me out and accusing me of stealing it, so I tossed it in the trash
Load More Replies...I found a phone once. I answered it when it rang, it was the owner's friend. They contacted the owner via Facebook and they both came to pick it up. I got a box of chocolates and a cheap bottle of wine as a reward, so a good deal!
I once ran out and I realized I forgot my phone at home so I searched my bag to get my phone so I could text my daughter that I forgot my phone just in case she needed to get in touch with me. Yeah....my mind is shot.

My galaxy has on option to put text on the lock screen. I have a message and a contact first name/number (not mine as i dont have another number, and with their permission) if a nice person finds it and wants to get it back to me!
Sometimes men and all their horror make me feel really discouraged about being alive and the future of the planet and humanity. And then I remember women exist and it feels like being hugged by your favorite person simultaneously wrapping you in your favorite blanket fresh out of the dryer.
That's, like... one of the nicest things I've ever seen someone say about women. You're either a wonderful human being or an absolute sociopath. Can I keep you?

Sent my brother a text this morning asking if he had plans for the superbowl tomorrow. He responded by asking if I had been kidnapped and then said call him so he could verify it was actually me that had sent the message
Could you imagine sitting down to a salad and now you have to have a weird and strained conversation with a 'concerned' friend who apparently has boundary issues?

Load More Replies...Not suddenly. You’re given the syllabus that tells you exactly what will be covered and what assignments are due and when—-with rubrics for all the assignments, to boot—-for the entire semester on the first day. It’s only a surprise if you don’t at least glance at the damned thing, though reading through it completely is what you’re supposed to do. College instructors aren’t going to babysit you like public school teachers have to, because if you’re in college, you’re expected to take care of yourself like an adult.
This is currently my life, we're going into week 6 this Monday. What sucks even more is I commute roughly 2.5 hours each way, 3 days a week, all for the same class. (2 days of lecture and 1 day lab) all my other classes are online, which helps but trying to balance out the work of each class can be difficult. Fortunately I'm a lot older than most of my classmates and I have more experience in life in general, but sometimes it's unfortunate that I'm so much older because I'm so tired.. 😩
Do you study while commuting? Because that was a big thing for me when I studied at the uni. Reading and making notes on the bus to and from uni when I could. Making the commute a practical study-thing makes the time spent on it a lot more tolerable. :)
Load More Replies...You know what kills me? From the time we're small, were sent to school for 8 hours a day, and then STILL expected to do hours of homework on top of that, after we leave and go home. Then we grow up and go to work, and are expected to do more than our pay, plus unexpected overtime, sometimes also unpaid, and sometimes even take work home. And then we want to bítch about *that*? No, it's not right. No, a lot of us, myself included, don't do it anymore. And no, school isn't paid. But still. It's almost like we're being trained for it, from the very start. Hmm...
Currently suffering from this, but it's my last semester of undergraduate studies.
In American schools a quiz is a short little test you probably get every week. It only takes a few minutes and it doesn't count much towards your grade.

Don't see what the problem is as long as he assisted the callers accordingly
When I was managing, that would have made me laugh, provided he was ant good at it!

I think OP just missed a comma. It should say "4 years ago, the day I did my trial shift..."
Load More Replies...I once got bítched at when I managed fast food, for almost the same thing. When we'd run out of something, like say, bananas or eggs, sometimes I'd have to send someone to the grocery store with cash from the register, to buy some. When I did that, I had to send paperwork, along with a copy of the receipt, to account for the cash. When I sent the paperwork, instead of writing bananas or eggs, I'd log it as something like "long yellow fruit", or "unhatched chicken embryos". Just trying to inject a little fun into my daily drudge. The paperwork wasn't seen by anyone outside the company, and as long as they knew what was meant, and the money was properly accounted for, it didn't matter. No one ever cared. In fact, a few laughed. Well, we got a new district manager, and she didn't like fun. I got a very angry lecture about professionalism, and "taking things seriously". I told her I DID take things seriously, of course I did, otherwise I wouldn't bother entering the paperwork in the first place. But that she didn't have to worry about that ever happening again. And she didn't. I left soon after that. She was why-not just for this, but for many other things she did/said too.
Aww, that's sad. To have the ingenuity to think like that deserves a raise ..... even if only for the humour !
If Scottish, 'the day' can mean the same as today. For example, "What are you up to the day?"
There really shouldn't even be a singular form of the noun
