I had a boss once who would never give out 5's on the annual employee evaluation form because "nobody's perfect!"

It's a flawed system of ranking, sure, but once you get past that, treat it like ABCDF then.

our performance evaluation system is based on a scale of 1-3. my previous supervisors used to give everyone 2s. when i switched supervisors in the past 2 years i've been all 3s. i have not improved as a worker in any way. cool system.

three weeks pass...

People in supermarkets who take a packet of crisps or a sandwich or whatever from the shelves, eat it while they're going around the store and then present the empty wrapper to the cashier for scanning. Yuk.

I mean, this is just about permissible if you have a toddler in tow and you need to shut them up with a snack or something, although you really should be armed with snacks for them already. But otherwise, don't do it. I mean, I've even heard of people eating a banana in this way and giving the (price-tagged) peel to the cashier. Can't you wait?

I've heard of people doing this because they're diabetic or just one of those hangry types. I dunno.. It's not something I do, but I would do it if desperate. I wouldn't feel comfortable about it

I see it quite a bit. ok for kids imo but your own hunger should motivate you to do the shopping faster (and pick up loads of unhealthy impulse buys to open in the car)

Tesco have boxes of free fruit for young kids to take and eat now

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 21 February 2019 10:37 (five years ago) link

Who doesn't just bring along snacks for their kids when they're going places with them? My EDC is a box of chocolate milk and some graham crackers.

well yes of course but sometimes you get stuck out longer than you anticipate and all your supply of snacks has been eaten/bribed with/dropped on the floor.
I have not done this savage move btw! And the Tesco thing is great.

kinder, Thursday, 21 February 2019 11:12 (five years ago) link

They sell bananas by the pound at my store, so presenting just the sticker would be a bold move.

pplains, Thursday, 21 February 2019 13:07 (five years ago) link

Yes produce is generally by weight; also self-check thingies go exclusively by weight, and wouldn't recognize a half a box of graham crackers or whatever.

the local versh of krogers in CO (king soopers) allows each kid one free bakery sugar cookie upon request (not really tho, kids pretty much just take one. amazingly i've yet to see the policy abused, though what i don't see is plenty).

Nassim Nicholas Taleb spent twenty-one years as a risk taker before becoming a researcher in philosophical, mathematical, and (mostly) practical problems with probability. Although he spends most of his time as a flâneur, meditating in cafés across the planet, he is currently Distinguished Professor at New York University’s Tandon School of Engineering.

mookieproof, Saturday, 2 March 2019 02:58 (five years ago) link

I mean, at age 23 I'd have tried for the flâneur café-meditator bio but would never have thought to combine wanderlust with stated risk-taking

the platonic ideal bio for an edgy recent graduate is at most half as grandiose, he really went for it

mh, Saturday, 2 March 2019 03:46 (five years ago) link

i'd heard that he predicted the 2008 crash, for which i'd reluctantly grant him 'risk taker'

never ever any excuse for flâneur tho

mookieproof, Saturday, 2 March 2019 03:56 (five years ago) link

predicting a crash means risk avoider right

I think it's exceptionally rude. Even when you let your kid do it. People do it in our shop. I just want to slap them. 🙄

And people facetiming in shops. The fuck.

got home from gym and decided to bypass the spot in front of my neighbor's house and parked at the end of the block because i could just pull in. after i parked i saw her leave her house and get in her car and move it up two spots to be in front of her house, then go back inside. utterly despicable behavior. our houses are like 12 ft wide.

Maybe I'm missing something. What harm did she do by moving her car? Aside from maybe wasting her own time and effort?

Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Saturday, 9 March 2019 22:16 (five years ago) link

she didn't do any harm at all it was just so stupid

forensic plumber (harbl), Saturday, 9 March 2019 23:12 (five years ago) link

two weeks pass...

i had to get air this morning and stopped at a gas station. guy was parked right in front of the air thing with his car running. i waited a second thinking he'd get out and use the air. he did not. i had to pull in front of him, then turn the car around because the hose would not reach both tires i wanted to check. he was like, talking on the phone. there was plenty of room at this gas station for him to not sit in front of the air machine. i'm still mad at him.

forensic plumber (harbl), Tuesday, 26 March 2019 01:09 (five years ago) link

what an ass

I parked near the air hose because the lot was pretty full once and someone pulled to the side behind me and I was overly apologetic and asking if they needed me to move! nah, they were just parking over there

Cinema-goers who laugh at every single line of dialogue in the film, whether it's funny or not. I feel I've brought this subject up here before but anyway it bears repeating.

mine is people who get in the lift and have time to wait for the door to close

seedy ron (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 6 April 2019 00:15 (five years ago) link

I say slam that button

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Saturday, 6 April 2019 01:10 (five years ago) link

It’s not a ‘door closed’ button, it’s ‘door CLOSE,’ it’s an imperative, a command. I thiink you fail to see its functional role, this is why you fail to get with the goddamn program. it’s go time, get your stick and into the game.

I gotta say, I stayed in a hotel this past weekend where the elevator door closed immediately when I selected my floor, and it was super gratifying.

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Saturday, 6 April 2019 03:28 (five years ago) link

I think it'd be cool if the door just stayed open, like one of those paternosters.

God, it felt good

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Saturday, 6 April 2019 03:37 (five years ago) link

If I get in a lift and there's nobody else in there I will stab the door open button until there is. Having a lift to yourself is a wasteful luxury.

(I'd take the stairs but it's 5 floors)

koogs, Saturday, 6 April 2019 05:43 (five years ago) link

having a lift by yourself is an opportunity to DANCE.

(actually I'm not sure that's true. One of them certainly has radio 3 in it, because I can hear it from my desk, but I think the others are 1, 2 and 1xtra)

Come live here. People never ever laugh. Not even at jokes. My dad found it super annoying so laughed louder. So the audience started to join in. Lol

I know I'm old in disclosing but young people doing all the same poses when having their pics taken. The insta-pose is urghhhhh. I never liked posing for pics or people doing it.

Lol, recently had a vacation to Hawaii, and was struck by how every single beach visit featured youths spending their entire beach time doing elaborate selfie sessions.

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Saturday, 6 April 2019 18:32 (five years ago) link

there are so many art installations and pieces of architecture that are designed for instagrammability

there’s some traveling yayoi kusama thing that qualifies

mh, Saturday, 6 April 2019 19:18 (five years ago) link

I hit the door close button. I get mad at the people who hold the elevator for people who are still 7-10 seconds away when we are in a large elevator bank during rush hour.
