Someone that wanted to work at a zooshop where I had an intenship wanted to work 8 hours a week and expected to get paid $2000 every month.
my friend layla got into a fight with her ex best friend and asked why i didn’t stick up for her and i told her because she was wrong and she was like UR SUPPOSED TO STICK UP FOR ME EVEN IF IM WRONG BECAUSE WE ARE BEST FRIENDS! honey no.
A roommate didn’t want my boyfriend over between 5pm-10pm, but there was really no other time that fit with both of our schedules (I had college classes, he had work and college classes, and we all had our own rooms so I didn’t think she cared with both of our doors closed). Bf and I were seeing each other about twice a week due to distance, and carefully following the rules set out in the roommate agreement.
While mediating this, someone asked how much time she thought we should be spending together. She answered “Once a week for one or two hours.”
A woman I work with kept pestering me to let everyone go home early and have longer breaks. She’s in her 40’s, and doesn’t understand that she’s contracted to do these hours. She says it doesn’t matter if we leave half an hour early, but she won’t let anyone forget to pay her for those extra 15 minutes she did in an entire month.
I have 2 friends, who I’ll call A and B, who I hangout with a lot, we’re in college, me and A are 20 while B is 19. (For context, I’ve had no parents most of my life, and at 17 I was living alone; A’s parents are divorced and has worked from a young age to help sustain her family; B has only recently gotten a part time job and has a lived a mostly sheltered life with two parents), During quarantine, we’ve had online classes, projects and assignments to send, etc. The other day B group messaged us complaining about her parents being on top of her about everything, and wanting her to help around the house more, and wishing to be living on her own, when me and A obviously were not supporting this idea of her’s, and telling her what being on your own is like, she got mad at us for not being supportive, and just because she didn’t live the same horrible lives we have, that doesn’t minimize her problems.
I’m just saying, don’t expect sympathy if your going to complain about your pool to the people who are in the middle of the desert.
