Alexa Clarifies Smartest Breed Of Dog, Dog Isn't Ready


I mean, hey, even the most intellectually gifted beings on this planet need to give their brains some down time every now and again. This Border Collie just got caught up in a vulnerable moment.

Random Street Interaction is Real-Life Theatre of the Absurd


As many times as one watches this clip, it only results in more questions than answers. Where'd that guy come from? What's that other guy doing? What is going to happen after? Sure it has Oblivion music under it, and it does play out kind of like a glitched-out NPC interaction, but at its heart this is just an extremely weird sequence of events.

School Administration Won't Budge, Dad Takes Detention Rap


Despite a litany of reasonable excuses, this school administration was determined to send someone to detention. This person's dad, being a bro, decided to show up for detention and make a point regarding the absurdity of the whole situation. Sometimes school faculty isn't this rigid and vindictive, like these teachers who pulled total bro moves.

Font - Posted by u/TropicLush 13 hours ago 2 2 6 3 My Dad Served My Detention oC M When I was a freshman in high school I went to a school that was 30+ mins drive away. They had a policy that three tardies (with a good excuse or not) across a semester would automatically assign an after school detention. I was a really really good kid; never got in trouble, ever; always really nice and friendly to everybody; worked really hard at everything I did from sports to studies (even if I wasn't the best

2.

Font - My parents declined to sign the detention notice and explained to administration how I had 0 control over when they left, and especially no control of road/traffic conditions even after us leaving extra early to have a time cushion (I was only late by a couple mins on the rare time I was even late), but administration declined to remove the detention assignment. I asked my parents to just let it go and let me serve the stupid detention just to be done with it, or just decline and leave it

3.

Font - The next day my little professor-y looking social worker counselor dad with the big glasses, briefcase, worn down notepad, and his prized 20- year-old Mont Blanc pen signed himself into the school to serve detention the next afternoon-much to the embarrassment and discomfort of the administrators. They had a hard time holding eye contact with him and were visibly uncomfortable; they found an empty room to put him and checked in on him once or twice-even offered to let him leave early but

4.

Font - To my recollection, after that there seemed to be a differentiation between excused and unexcused tardies (idk if for the whole school, but for us anyway -it was never an issue for me after that. But like I said it was rare anyway to even be a couple mins late). At the time I was so embarrassed, but looking back now it's kind of funny, and I appreciate the point he was making in not letting me get punished for something I didn't do wrong and had no control over.

Supervisor Demands Employee Use Lint Roller Before Meeting


It sounds like this supervisor had their hands full when it came to trying to enforce some kind of universal standard for how employees should present themselves at virtual meetings. These are strange and tumultuous times, no doubt. And some folks are certainly having a harder time muddling through this time than others. With that being said, it sounds like Annie might've pushed the boundaries a bit too far, in terms of what the company expected from her. But you be the judge on whether or not this supervisor was ultimately in the wrong. 

1.

Font - AITA for handing an employee a lint roller and telling her to use it before heading into a meeting? Not the A-hole I supervise 15 employees. Annie got too comfortable WFH. We gave a wide berth for everyone to try to cope, but Annie took a mile. She'd attend meetings in her unmade bed with bed head, let her dogs bark & insist she couldn't put them in another room, etc. We let it slide because this was an adjustment for all, but did remind her that despite us being on Zoom, we needed to sti

2.

Font - After coming back, it got worse. We don't expect everyone to be runway ready, but she'll wear hoodies that have obviously been worn for days, leggings, ratty shoes, hair in a very messy bun, old makeup, etc. Annie came in with a black fleece absolutely covered in dog hair. I pulled her aside, asked if she had a change of clothes for our 11AM meeting. She said no. I asked "Then do you have a lint roller?" She again said no and looked down and asked what was wrong with what she was wearing.

3.

Font - I tried my best to be gentle, saying she had to either change or take off the jacket. 11 comes around, I'm greeting clients, she comes in, still covered in nasty dog hair. I pulled her out of the room saying we forgot her USB, went to my office and handed her a lint brush. I told her to get as much of the dog hair off her jacket as she could, and we'd have a talk later.

4.

Font - Annie stomped off instead and said she was using her sick time for the rest of the day. I handled the meeting. She threw a fit all over social media about her Oppressive Employer who just doesn't understand what depression or anxiety are, how hard she worked just to get out of bed, etc. She said I shamed her publicly, made her feel lower than low, all because she was experiencing separation anxiety from her dogs while she was at work and was struggling with depression dealing with everyth

Font - delli_e • 1d · Partassipant [1] 4 Awards NTA. Annie is unprofessional on so many different levels.

Font - swiggs313 · 1d NTA. I'd write her up, not necessarily for the wardrobe stuff-she can consider that instance as her first verbal warning and will be written up in the future-but the social media behavior. That is unacceptable, and depending on the company's policy, possibly a reason for immediate termination.

Organism - Interstellar_Nebula • 1d NTA - it doesn't take much for an employee to be presentable and i dont think its asking much for an employee to not be covered in dog hair at a client meeting.

Font - Cloudly_Cane 1d NTA. "Giving her dogs extra cuddles." Is not a excuse to not show up ready, she sounds like a child stomping off for something so simple.

Font - Virulencer • 1d • Commander in Cheeks [266] NTA. Unless you were aware of her mental health issues prior to this incident, how were you supposed to know she was having issues dealing with depression and anxiety? It isn't unreasonable to ask your employees to dress appropriately. It's not like you were asking her to come in a full business suit, you just wanted her to not be covered in dog fur.

There is this little evil part of me wonders if she's milking it when her request get demanding like keeping her cat as a emotional support in the office. We couldn't because of my allergies.

Non-Americans Biggest Cultures Shocks With America


It's easy to forget just how strange the place you call home is, until you're offered that outside-in perspective. It could be something like not being aware of how comically big the serving sizes can get in America, or perhaps the differences in greeting behavior.

Font - buzzed_aldrinn • 11h Small talk. Back where I grew up, you generally avoid making eye contact with anyone you don't know. Here, you say good morning and how are you to complete strangers, without really meaning it. I struggled with it at first because l'm generally an introvert and don't like small talk. It just felt unnecessary to me. And also, the way people say "how are you", they do it so robotically that it becomes a jumbled up mess of syllables but you still know what they're saying

Entitled Folks and Their Wild Boldness


As decent and reasonable as we try to be to each other, some entitled people among us have a hard time of grasping the concept. People on camping trips will request the wildlife be less noisy. Companies will ask for a skilled worker and expect to pay them an entry level salary. Customers will kneel on bread. Entitled people and their absurd audacity will never cease to amaze.
