Woken Up Rattlesnake Is Menacing as Heck


It probably goes without saying that it's a bad idea to disturb a rattlesnake. What's amazing is how quickly this innocuous situation turns into a moment of stomach-dropping, primal fear. All those flags make a little more sense now.

Woman's Roommate Refuses To Buy Toilet Paper, Woman Hides Toilet Paper In Her Room


Cheap and entitled roommates can be a real handful. You'll end up in unfortunate scenarios where you have roommates who think they're getting away with stealing your food, or even cases where they simply refuse to pitch in for essential things like utility bills. In this case, we have a woman dealing with a roomie who won't pitch in for toilet paper. So, seemingly naturally she decides to hide that tp from her roomie until the roommate gets the wakeup call. Some folks just need you to give it to them.

Font - 1 2 1 @ 3 AITA for hiding toilet paper in my room? | (24F) have lived with my roommate (25F) for about 6 months now. In that time, she has NEVER bought us toilet paper, tissues, or paper towels. Before moving in together, we agreed that we would each take turns buying these supplies. Every time we run out, I politely remind her that it is her turn to buy, as I have bought it every time. She always comes up with some excuse that she forgot, has no time to shop, etc. So, I begrudgingly alwa

Font - I've recently started asking her to pay for half, but she declines to because apparently I don't buy "the correct brand." (I buy an off-brand, because l'm 24 and on a budget. Also, wtf.) She always says she'll just buy the better brand rather than pay me, but never does. Yesterday, we ran out again. She was home all day, and I went off to work. When I got home, I saw that she had gone grocery shopping for herself. I walk into the bathroom. Still no toilet paper. I decided to go buy some a

Rectangle - She hasn't responded to me. I know this seems juvenile, but I really find the whole situation unfair. If my toilet paper isn't good enough for her, she is more than able to buy her own. 4 2.0k 199 ↑, Share

Font - ScaryPearls · 43m • Partassipant [1] NTA - I had a very similar roommate situation once. She decided she was going to do some kind of "challenge" related to poverty awareness and live on less than $1 a day. Which, fine, you do you. But if you're just using food and supplies bought by other people, l'm not sure you're having the real poverty experience. I tried to no avail to explain purchasing power parity to her but ended up just keeping my toilet paper and snacks in my room. Reply Vote

Font - ChangeMyMind204 · 25m NTA, frankly I wish you'd went with her approach and told her not to worry as you are going to get some that night and then just never get any. I wonder how long she'd do without before realising that you aren't buying any to share with her. PS She's probably already hoarding her own supply in her bedroom too. Reply Vote ...

Twitter Thread: The World's Most Ridiculous Bird Names


This fun Twitter thread from @Stu_Bot3000 runs a quick study on some of the world's silliest bird names. Suffice to say, we had no idea there were these kinds of bird names running amok out there. It's as if some of the folks in charge of naming these birds have some sort of vendetta against birds, because some of these names are just brutal.

HR And Recruiters Share Job Candidates' Biggest Mistakes


This enlightening AskReddit thread about job candidates' biggest mistakes during the hiring process can basically serve as a guide for anyone going through the hiring process themselves, on what to absolutely avoid at all costs. Trying to lock down a new gig can be a grueling endeavor, and certainly one marked by errors that you don't even know you're making in the first place. So, take some of this knowledge with you for the next time you're trying to get a new job. And if this thread got you going, check out another recent thread we ran about the biggest red flags that people got during the hiring process

It means they're a liability, and would continue to be so under our employ. Likewise, it's a "no" from me when I ask a candidate ab
