"This Lily is no flower." - u/meleedeez
And ain't that the TRUTH. This woman sounds like your regular brand of every day absolute psycho. Her incessant need to inject herself in every situation and one up everyone and everything would be infuriating to experience. How messed up is it that she's just lying in wait for her parents to die?
Yikes. I'd rather have this awesome guy as a workplace neighbor instead: New Office Neighbor Enacts Epic 'Office Door Policy' That We Need to Standardize
Anyone who has ever experimented with one of those radical sensory deprivation tanks or chilled out in a pitch black cave for a hot sec will know that your brain gets bored very quickly and starts to churn out some trippy hallucinations to keep itself preoccupied till you return to the land of light. It's just a bit of a disorienting thing to mull over. Maybe this is why some people in this weird universe insist that reality as we experience it is nothing more than our brains' best guesses at what's actually happening. Like a collective hallucination of sorts. Even if that's the case, we're still all in this hallucination together. So might as well be a kind human being and enjoy the ride while it lasts.
We're not smart people, but we also understand that when a statement doesn't make logical sense and a lot of people are laughing at it, that thing is probably a joke. And if you didn't get it at first, it's better to say nothing than it is to double down on your own terrible sense of humor. People aren't exactly huge funs of fun-stealing dullards who didn't get the joke.
This one's going to take a while to live down... but then and again there is absolutely the possibility that she is overthinking this. Still, it's the kind of thing that keeps you up at night as you're laying in bed and it's playing over and over and over in your head.
Seems like the guys are determined to be kinda and accepting towards her here but sometimes that can be even worse because just the very fact that you know they're treating you differently than they treat everyone else can be extremely isolating. Sounds like it's early days for this crew yet so it will only be a matter of time before these guys are just as comfortable ripping on her as they are on each other.
But does anyone else think it's totally weird that there isn't even a female uniform available for her to wear? I'd probably complain about that and a variety of these other wild worker complaints that ended up being totally legit.
Work is its OWN reward! Or so this "motivational" message would lead us to believe.
Whatever redditor u/MisterCallegari's workplace was thinking when they decided to post this message we will never know. I can only imagine that some misguided middle-manager thought to themselves something along the lines of... "This will rally the troops into working harder and being more productive!"
I'm willing to be that they were also utterly oblivious to the eye rolls coming from their staff as they entered the office for the day.
As commenters on reddit have said, this message reads like some really dystopian stuff. It's essentially straight out of Orwell's 1984. Reminds me of the 'Demotivational Posters' that were all the rage about 15 years ago.
Oh sweetie... It's as if this is the first time in her life she hasn't been told exactly what she wanted to hear.
It's pretty safe to say that if she truly loved, even cared about, her boyfriend she wouldn't be forcing him to change who he was in order to meet her parents.
Even if she does it's pretty clear that it isn't enough to outweigh the value she places on the privilege her parents and family provide for her.
I have to say, this is the most utterly destroyed I have seen someone be in the comments of AITA. She just doesn't give up. Until the point that the mods have to ban her a** from the subreddit.
Have a read and enjoy as she goes out in a blaze of pretentiousness. She reminds us a lot of this entitled girlfriend: Wealthy-Entitled Classist Girlfriend Thinks It's Ok to Wear Little-To-No Clothing Around Her Staff, Doesn't Care if She is Making Them Uncomfortable
We all have moral codes that we say we're passionate about, but for some reason it's the smallest things that get people the most riled up. Call your coffee "an expresso" around the wrong person and they will cut you out of their life for being toxic. Mention on a date that you liked Jaws 2 and what was a perfectly fine night will end in seconds. If there's one thing that we can be certain about human nature, it's that people will defend their pettiest opinions to their last breath.
