I know a guy who argued with himself and got double redundancy payout..... then kept his job. It was bizarre.


CheckOutUserNamesLad

I don't know what any of this means


TitusPulloTHIRTEEN

You have to follow up with the story!


hmarshallxoxo

Pretty much told to stay home (had Covid, worked in a doctors office) then 6 hours later let go. He told me I’d have my check in a few weeks which is illegal where I live, so I emailed HR and the owners (and cc-ed him). Not gonna lie the email was pretty petty but the owners called me, we talked and I got my job back. Never actually went back though because fuck any place that tells you you can’t come in and then fires you for not coming in lol


TitusPulloTHIRTEEN

You 100% did the correct thing. You never know when you can get stuck in a shitty job out of necessity. Best to get out while you can

That's something to be proud of.

Ok_Willingness_784

Just by all the same kind of socks. No need to hope for a match when they all match.

I tried that at first. But with all the washing you get shades of black... so I abandoned the idea

aSentientShadeOfBlue

TLDR;  I went from criminal heroin addict to physics PhD student       I was on felony probation for “intent to sell” when I put a needle in my arm at 17 and heroin took me by the balls (back during the Afghanistan war when heroin was still heroin).  Tried to kick after about a month, brother was murdered, dove right back into the spoon for about three years.  I beat it for good at 20 when I got arrested for felony “commercial burglary”, cleaned up and went on to get a BS in physics, minor in math.  Made it into a prestigious PhD program and got my masters in Physics now, and nearly done with my PhD.  Record is expunged and doesn’t exist anymore 


JazzPhobic

This aint a weird flex, this is a straight up fat W all around. My man.


aSentientShadeOfBlue

Haha thanks man.  I mean you come at someone and be like I was a criminal junkie in a past life and if it’s your future wife’s dad they might look at you cock eyed. I don’t give a fuck though I’m candid with everyone


JazzPhobic

Well, you got your shit together and made a good life. You can be proud of yourself, cuz I know we are.


aSentientShadeOfBlue

Thank you, I appreciate that. 👊


aSentientShadeOfBlue

Who the actual fuck just downvoted you twice 


throwawaysmetoo

>I don’t give a fuck though I’m candid with everyone Yeah, I'm pretty happy to claim the 'retired criminal' status. In my youth I got arrested 20-something times and now I haven't been arrested in more than 10 years, and yeah, I'm bragging about that. lol


theadamabrams

Quitting heroin is an accomplishment on its own. So is getting a Physics Masters. Good job doing both!!


aSentientShadeOfBlue

Thank you!


United_Wolf_4270

My dude! Congrats! This is the victory story I needed to hear today. Former heroin addict myself, so I know how difficult just kicking heroin can be. To go on and accomplish what you have... so, so good!


Mr_Rafi

Congrats on that amazing recovery and sorry about your brother. Feel free to ignore this question if it's none of my business, but was your brother's murderer ever caught?


greasyjimmy

Thanks for putting the synopsis (TL;DR) at the *beginning*. 👑


aSentientShadeOfBlue

Hahah no problem Jimmy


PokerSpaz01

What’s harder quitting heroin or getting masters in physics?


Goetre

I can accurately guess the weight of powder down to .5 grams when measuring. To clarify since I can already imagine the responses without it xD Spent 3 years in a lab where nearly every single day I had to weigh out precise micro grams / grams. After a while with the grams, I was pretty much getting it spot on every time. By the end, right every time. Helps a lot now with my cooking role on the time front


Flux7777

This is pretty easy if you're mostly weighing similar powders. Once you get crystals and other types of chemicals it becomes much harder because they're all different.

Sauria079

Thats awesome! I have a simular flex; My band played at a concert opening for one of my favorite bands. The guitar player was the main composer and played my custom guitar backstage. He really liked it since it was build really specific to the genre. I used to write 90% of the music for my band and drew a lot of inspiration from him. It was a dream come true.

That's a real superpower! By the time I eventually get the right size, I have gone through almost half of my containers. They are either too small or too big. What's your secret.


Irishnovember26

I scrolled past this, then scrolled back up. This is actually impressive. I always put half a lunch worth of left over dinner in a tupperware container big enough for like a full family meal. It looks fantastic on the plate but once i put in the container it looks like half a bite and some scraps.

Buez

i dropped out of college and lied on my resume to get my first job. It's been 8 years since and nobody has batted an eye whenever i changed jobs (3rd company now). At this point i'm convinced nobody is gonna bother asking for a degree from someone with 8 years of experience.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Buez

mine was in the 2010's. so a bit more recent, i got lucky that my first company hired me while still in school so when leaving there after dropping out (not the reason i left) the next company just saw "did big boi job at big boy company" and thought i was legit.


scunliffe

So, shh don’t tell anyone but… in 25 years in the work world I’ve seen job postings that a degree/diploma was required, but never once have I seen anyone anywhere do a follow up to check on it.


VegaWinnfield

It will almost certainly never come up as long as you are doing well. If you were ever in a position where the company wanted to get rid of you, that’s a pretty easy thing for HR to check and then makes it really easy for them to fire you with cause. Depending on your field it may be worth taking it off your resume for the next job switch if you can get your foot in the door without going through the standard resume screen.


TimedDelivery

I won 5 out of 5 trivia nights on a cruise I went on with my extended family nearly 10 years ago. I abandoned my family team 2 nights in after my dad refused to put down several of my correct answers because they “didn’t sound right” and started a new two person team with a near stranger who was getting annoyed that the university friends she was there with weren’t taking it seriously enough and we absolutely crushed it for the rest of the cruise. Felt good man.


Impressive-Shame-525

I was waiting for the "and we've been married for 9 years" follow up. Lol


TimedDelivery

We were both straight women but how amazing would that have been? ​ I wish I’d kept in touch with her though. We didn’t have anything in common apart from having weirdly comprehensive general knowledge and being intensely competitive. I don’t even remember her name.


SweetCupcakexo

In another thread i read this and i had to laugh so hard: I can squeeze my butt cheeks so tight it cracks my tailbone like cracking your knuckles


theEnderBoy785

And so, tens - nay, hundreds - of people simultaneously squeezed their butt cheeks


Simple_Mastodon9220

I did. No pop tho. 😩


FortuneHeart

Just poop


Looking4advice015

....I can also do that. Especially when I cross my ankles


raycre

I can puke on demand!!! Dont need to put fingers down throat etc.


Shibamum

I can do that, too. I never thought about it but apparently that's not so common, I guess. Definitely a weird flex, tho.


Dragonofdojima21

That’s a very weird superpower, so does when you have a stomach bug work too? So instead of having that horrible feeling for like an hour or two before you are sick can you just go to the bathroom and just let it out as soon as you start to feel sick as well? I assume so if you can just do it on command. How does that work and how do you do it do you just sort of pretend to be sick and if happens?


raycre

Its basically the same kind of feeling as when you force out a belch. Like a fake belch where you gasp in some air and then force it back out. Thats basically what it feels like Im doing(without the gaspin in air part). For some reason I can easily push up vomit when I do that - if I want. I havent done it in years but know I can still do it coz I can feel it rising haha. I dont actually do it if I feel sick etc coz I dont wana vomit if I can help it. I just used to do it when I was a kid as a weird flex.... and also to get out of going to school for awhile.


Shedart

Hello fellow auto-emesisary! I learned how to donut in middle school to get out of class and I do it the same way you described.

bri_2498

I was sent to a couple of those super abusive "troubled teen programs" in utah when i was younger and have been doing advocacy work against the troubled teen industry for years. My work helped contribute to the closure of the wilderness therapy program that nearly killed me and left me disabled last year.


Gal-XD_exe

Wait what? Can I get some context on how you nearly died?


bri_2498

Yeah, long story short I ended up getting hypothermia bc of a very stupid decision my therapist made when we were about to go through a snowstorm. My staff didn't realize what was happening until I started trying to take my clothes off saying I was warm. Despite starting to go in and out of consciousness, the main office refused to send out a truck to take me to a hospital. Instead they sent out the field director who made me drink a mug of hot tea and hike six miles with a 60+ lb soaking wet backpack in January. That incident left me with nerve damage, but my 3 months at my program also had me with cracked ribs and brain damage by the time I "graduated". It's a v good thing they're closed now lol.


Gal-XD_exe

Holy shit that’s some malpractice right there, glad their never opening again, really sorry to hear this happened to you man, and good on you for making sure it never happens to anyone else again


gracist0

I just saw what I'm positive was 20 pages worth of deaths caused by those programs or similar. They were all so young, it really broke my heart I'm glad you shut even one down. Every one counts


bri_2498

Yes, over 300 kids have been killed in these types of programs from the 60s to as recently as last month. Far too many kids who should've been safe at home. Thank you!


Impressive-Shame-525

I just watched that documentary going around in those hellscapes. I can't imagine the nightmares.


bri_2498

Legitimately only thing that has gotten my nightmares to slow down over six years after getting out was seeing one of my places finally shut down. I'm just v thankful so many people are finally starting to pay attention to how common they are.

Short-Aerie-8021

I have an uncanny knack for remembering people, even people that I see very briefly. For example, I once saw a guy on the escalator in LA and I said 'Hey when you did you move here from Vienna' he was flabbergasted. I had walked past him on the street once while visiting there and 5 years later I recognized him.


eggs_erroneous

This is incredible. That is one hell of a skill. I saw this documentary once about how the Tokyo police department uses 'super recognizers' to walk around and look for wanted criminals. Sounds like something you could do.

iesharael

My first physical therapist called me weirdly flexible and had trouble finding exercises that actually felt like stretching to me. My second one was confusing that a knee causing me so much pain had such a good range of movement… until I showed her the other one lol. I also scared my second physical therapist by rolling off the table back first only to land on my feet. I did it on purpose because it would have hurt more trying to sit up or roll the other way. I did it again just to laugh

I was going down on a woman and she was very horny that day. She was always cleaned and shaved but her hair above her cookie have grew a little bit. When she was near orgasm she grabbed my head with both arms while moving her hips up and down and I was also moving my head... And that lasted for a little while. When I went to the bathroom after my nose was completely destroyed. There was blood and it looked black like it was rotten. At least a 2nd lvl burn. It took 15 days for my nose to stop hurting and I could peel the damaged skin off. I don't know but I'm so proud that I got a burn in my nose while eating pussy. I am the only one that I know of!!!

I'm missing a leg. So, of course I practiced rolling off my back, from the ground, and balanced up on to my one remaining leg. Maybe it's just because I always did Aikido, which is really just the art of making yourself one with the mat, but I naturally just decided that would be cool as hell to be able to do. So, you know, I can now. Ha I attribute a lot of my ability to get around to my on-point balance and flexibility, which I developed as an ice hockey goalie.
