I am. You generally dont want to get pho from a place that sells things that arent pho. The best pho places dont sell anything else. However, good pho isnt hard to come by.

Pad Thai is less common here, but still readily available. I also go to Thailand fairly regularly.

oh, cool. 2 countries are like right next to each other, is it hard to go between countries, customs? They are similar kinda the 2 countries, like one is less restrictive on human rights ..etc... and stuff

Didn't refuse to sign it, but I laughed at them for it since they needed me too much to fire me

what, you still work there though?

FLAMING_EVIL_HOMER posted...

No. I signed it and just put my 2 weeks later whenever i found job real quick.

you really hated them? just not even put in a 2 week notice, why did you even do that though?

He's not mean. But he is manipulative and selfish. He'll screw over anyone he can if it'll benefit him in some way.

His wife is the same way, except she is very mean. They make a good team for each other, what he can't get with polite manipulation, she takes by force and threats. And vice versa, if no one is willing to help her due to her bad attitude, he can generally pressure them to do so with less aggressive means.

I don't mind the job itself, but I don't get along well with these people.

you think you will at least work there for the next few yrs though, i guess you kinda like it

Hexenherz posted...

I've had that happen to me and I just record the fact that the individual received the (or refused) the negative feedback and push it to the next level if necessary.

what do the higher ups usually do in that case?

thronedfire2 posted...

no but I walked out with no notice from my last job and then got a termination letter I was supposed to sign in the mail a month later

what? sign this term. letter we mail to you, why?

KogaSteelfang posted...

God no. I'm far from the sharpest tool in the shed, but that guy is aggressively dumb.

One example, I left a note reminding them of something important. Something like "Hey, just a reminder to do _____ at noon today.
-Dustin"

So instead of doing it, they saved the note till the next day and gave it to me. Said it was left at the desk for me. I told them that I left it as a reminder for them, but they refused to believe it because it had my name on it.

Oh, he also believe there's a secret underground facility under the stock exchange in NY that's run by an advanced AI robot who secretly controls the world's billionaires.

Also, several different times he's told me that China will drop an MP3 on the USA. Yes, an MP3.

And the Illuminati and NWO have made our money obsolete, and is just waiting on physical money to die before implementing some kind of social score crypto currency, where a person's social value determines how much money they earn and that the working class is already negative score and we'll never survive once the stock market AI robot signals the Illuminati to implement the NWO to control us all.

is he like a mean boss otherwise, besides being kinda dull, you work at that hotel still, you like it there?

Any write up is to create a paper trail for when they eventually fire you for a business decision. Dont sign, and start looking for another job.

so you think even first write up in most cases they want to fire the person?

DarthAragorn posted...

Because I like literally every other person I work with and am hoping I can get reassigned after this season.

If I can't, then I will definitely be looking elsewhere.

is she like really mean though?

DarthAragorn posted...

Maybe, considering she's intelligent enough to force me to do the vast majority of her work and get paid for it while there's nothing I can do about that.

extremely sad, why don't you leave?

BloodMoon7 posted...

Yeah he was talking about me. I'm indeed more stupid than the average person. The average person isn't even that stupid, I once grabbed a cactus plant for no reason.

what kind of work do you do though? you don't seem like a mean person though, imo not being really mean is a big plus , no matter how intelligent you are. This seems to be underrated by many people.

BloodMoon7 posted...

By default, most people are more intelligent than me, even the stupid ones.

get some more self confidence dude. Great george carlin quote "just think how stupid the avg person is , then think half of them are stupider than that"

ECW_Originals12 posted...

I dont think I could imagine a more exhausting job

Than being a cop, why though?

Sufferedphoenix posted...

Naturally. The most common crimes at my unit where murder rape child molestation and meth.

Are many of them doing life sentences though, this is a maximum security prison?

SauI_Goodman posted...

Cant they both enjoy it equally? In b4 women are sluts for enjoying sex.

yeah totally agree with the 2nd part of your statement. Sad that many people believe that. Have heard others say that easily men are more attracted to others that they have never met before.

hell's kitchen show was named after that expensive part of manhattan?

Sufferedphoenix posted...

I did not mind working fast food. It's the pay that sucked.

But generally I'm happy with any job I feel I'm good at and I was good at it.

Yeah like usually even less than Walmart and you have to do more work

FL81 posted...

I was one myself at one point in life

fuck that shit, will never go back

Why did you dislike it so much?

Sufferedphoenix posted...

Never been a cop. It has nuances though. Like whe you make a traffic stop you never know what you.are about to deal with.. in prison we know all these people (at least majority cause innocent people do get convicted) are criminals.

We at least know to assume everyone has bad intentions but we are locked in a building and outnumbered heavily by them.

So it's different. Cops are in danger cause they never know what to expect it could be grandma who wasn't paying attention to the speed limit or someone thats got a resaon ro run or attack.. it could be us dealing with known criminals and being outnumbered

Many are convicted murderers in there?

They were legal at one stage but after this psychotic madman Thomas Hamilton blew away 16 children and teachers in The Dunblane School Massacre the public petitioned furiously to get handguns banned!

Read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunblane_massacre

Even before that gun ownership was rare because we in The UK are smart and know other ways to solve our problems unlike trigger happy Yankee Land who thinks that solving problems come from the end of a gun barrel!

Currently out of a population of 67,000,000 people in The UK there are 3,600,000 civilian guns.

https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/gun-ownership-by-country

Oh and before anyone goes on about knives carrying a knife in public without a good reason is a serious serious offense here.

Forgot about that one in 96, so before it was easy to buy a handgun now pretty much impossible?

mustachedmystic posted...

Actually in Americaland we do have another way to solve problems besides guns, civil courts. We are extremely litigious.

Yeah is u.s. most litigious in the world?

Kai_Laguna posted...

I'm too old to be a neet, but if I didn't have to worry about rent, utilities, and food I'd gladly become a hikikomori instead of working.

what is that, hikki?

it is lossless . you think it's better than flac, or wav, no difference?

Sufferedphoenix posted...

Apparently idk what their pay is but I heard a cop say he had been trying to get a correctional officer to switch over but he understood why he would cause he made more money at the prison.

As it is thr starting rate is problem 35k now it was 32 when I hired on but you get a raise every year up to your 6th year working there. Ontop of raises the state government approved which in my 4 years we got 2 or 3 2% raises.

I used to lean conservative because they tend to be nicer to us but our Democrat governor hasn't been that bad for us. So when he comes up for election I'll likely vote for him. The republican wanting to go against him seems like a real piece of work

is like prison work, you consider safer than regular cop, less work..etc...?

emblem-man posted...

Where do you get this information from?

you're a new yorker and you don't believe it?

Sufferedphoenix posted...

Here the prison and jail pay more. Think the jail is like 45k prison is like 35k.

regular cops there make less than 35 k?

megamanfreakXD posted...

Anyone under the age of 17 gets a get out of jail free card for commiting crimes, and if nypd actually arrests someone get they released after a day anyway. So why bother arresting anyone unless they actually murder someone?

NYC dug their own grave, and hard working New yorkers will die in it. The recent subway shooting is proof of that.

yeah heard that that most new yorkers think that in general ny is way to lax on lawbreakers , have heard similar things about sf area. So you ride the subway frequently and it is getting much worse in your opinion, is crime in general in nyc much worse? Have visited a bunch of times there.

$709. In store in Howell NJ, I was hoping to buy a used one for cheaper that I saw they had on their website but they didn't end up having it. It's better to buy in person IMO, online in NJ charges too many fees and many dealers rather not deal with the hassle of making stuff NJ-compliant.

Cry about it buddy

so used guns are almost always pretty solid guns right? yeah i guess way better than buying a used watch. Still probably as good as new. Not sure if you would save a ton though.

Akagami_Shanks posted...

No I only plan on using it when I'm going to the gun range, unless I get a concealed carry permit. It's a pretty heavy big boy gun too, I can see why people like compacts now. If you carry this thing around you're definitely gonna feel the weight

ok

so you don't plan on getting a concealed...permit.....iirc some states are like much more strict to get one than other states, like night and day.

98 percent answers untruthfully

you think most of these neets are lying? Yeah, what do they do for money though?

Ratchetrockon posted...

I think so

really , then why don't you do that?

Akagami_Shanks posted...

ask me anything

how much was this, from an online gun dealer...etc..., isn't online usually cheaper but much more of a hassle? Would you ever buy a used glock?

thronedfire2 posted...

how much did it cost?

I want to get a gun but my state doesn't let you buy guns if you've consumed marihuana in the last year(autocorrect just changed marijauna to marihauna, I did not know that was a thing now).

but any drunk idiot(we have a lot of them in massachusetts) can buy a gun.

how would they know if you consumed? really, weird law

Ratchetrockon posted...

Nah just drive-thru now

isn't going inside and ordering usually faster?

Sufferedphoenix posted...

Was in fast food ages ago. That place wasn't typically too bad. Bojangles is more known for older people eating there in the mornings. And they where all regulars so super nice and polite. Like it was the same crowd every morning. Some would even come back for lunch. But we did have a community College literally across the street so some younger people would trickle in here and there.

He never bothered me again after that he still would come in sometimes. My gut told me to just ignore him and my gut is usually right

did you really hate working in fast food, would never do it again? don't blame you seems very few people want to work in one. Almost all like teenagers.

UT1999 posted...

is it really cheaper , have heard others say that when there's like a deal on fast food, then burgers there are usually cheaper than making it your own

yeah, this, that.

Sufferedphoenix posted...

It can vary. It's about avg pay here. New Orleans at least like more than a decade ago they where the most poorly paid cops and they wondered why so many where corrupt and taking bribes

did not know, n.o. Most of u.s is like 50 k per yr right? Still much more than walmart and mcd's at least

Trumble posted...

Or, ykno, maybe just the fact that they think if a new lane opens, they'll be the first one to get to go through it.

who thinks this usually though , the younger people right? unrealistic expectations......

If you ever did

MangaBroski posted...

Most boomers I interact. More likely to complain that theres only one cashier whereas gen x and millennials usually just complain about that person taking too long.

Yeah....interesting.....might be true. What would be the reason for this discrepancy though?

Zwijn posted...

Sweden is a few countries north and Switzerland a few countries southwest. Sweden locally has issues with crime too I believe, dont know too much about Switzerland but I cant imagine it being a huge issue there.

Yeah iirc avg income might be the highest in Switzerland in Europe and world, have not read much about other 2 in this dept

emblem-man posted...

Assuming I didn't care about pay, I think it'd be interesting to try out for a little bit.

I kind of think it's probably a good thing to have less "stereotypical" people become cops. Be the change you want to see and all that.

So you believe most cops are usually low pay...ect....at least it's more than mc,ds walmart
