I mean... at a glance its like WOAH 4 can dine for $9.99....

Until you are at the cash and they say " that'll be $45.15"

HUH??

"Oh sorry sir... it feeds 4... 4 people pay $9.99"

Gtfooo

The other day I picked up my son from school and a couple guys who were putting flyers on doors came up to me and asked if I wanted a roof estimate. They told me I didn't have to buy now but I could use it as reference for when the time comes. I say sure why not and schedule a time for someone to come over.

The guy comes over and questions if I'm the homeowner. He tells me I look 15. After telling me the process of what he will be doing to get the estimate he asks me if I have time today to look at samples for the estimate. I say yes.

He then asks me if my father or brother could be present for the estimate.

My ring camera cuts out but he explains that he has daughters and they come to him with questions about stuff like this and that it would be better to have my dad or brother present to ask questions I wouldn't think to ask myself.

At this point I do not want to work with this company anymore, so I just say sure and he gives me his buisness card to give him a call to schedule an appointment when my father or brother are avaliable.

I didn't end up getting an estimate.

Edit: Please don't review bomb or harass the company or the person in this video. That is not something I advocate for or want.

EDIT: wow thanks guys I didn’t know this would blow up! To answer some questions: It is an apartment, it is America, I even live on the third floor on a corner so it would have barely infiltrated anyone else’s apartment. I will follow up with an email stating that the indecent was smoke from some overcooked bacon, the ventilation system over the stove just kicks the smoke back out into the apartment above the microwave then there’s a vent around TWO corners by the door basically doing nothing so opening the door is pretty much necessary if any good hits its smoke point.

I have lived here for 3 years and I quit smoking over 6 years ago. When I called they said the email was “just a courtesy.”

Here’s what happened

I have been putting in the work. Walking. Eating right. Not cheating on my diet. I had some health issues that my doctor discovered, and I worked really hard to get to a goal weight of 208 pounds. I finally hit my goal weight. I bought a smart scale to celebrate and memorialize where I'm at today. And the first thing it did was tell me I was obese and send me a notification asking if I would like weight loss advice.

Sometimes you just feel like life is 5 steps forward and 10 steps back.

I feel like this post flair is appropriate.

I found this so hilariously difficult to read due to the formatting, which is not creative or compositionally, even aesthetically pleasing. It looks like someone just discovered MS Word and got carried away. The seemingly random narrow font, like emphasizing the wrong syllable of a sentence. I must also mention the "truffle |scented| scrambled eggs"

Last time I checked in to my dermatologists office for a biopsy follow up I was given an iPad and asked to agree to several not HIPAA or immediate treatment related agreements.

They're using a new system and If you do not agree to have all of your previous and future medical records, appointment transcripts, and possible likeness for some reason be processed and used for training an A.I. system for the company they're using you have to pay a $6 fee to be billed through the mail. All of their online billing requires those total agreements for some reason.

I was told to download their app instead and pay that way when I said how absolutely insane that was and didn't agree.

You can't use their app for billing either unless you do another A.I. agreement for that same company and in their privacy section states "limited" information is available to "trusted medical vendors for advertising" that you can not specifically opt out of outside of CA and if you don't agree it just doesn't let you use it.

It was $2 before this change, it's $6 now, and I have to find a new dermatologist because jfc

Edit: Forgot to mention when I got into the room they wanted to take a face photo with an iPad for my profile picture on my records profile and when I asked if it's for the AI thing they didn't take the photo. So I'm working off the assumption they probably just ignore if you opt out or not and it's up to that company to actually hold up on their end that you didn't agree. Either way I'll never know. Very cool times we're living in.

Edit 2: After asking around elsewhere I was told that there's a possibility that it might be a hipaa compliant company using completely anonymized or deidentified data fed into an LLM that a third party may use for statistics but they still have to tell you it could be used for it at some point. But also said if you're ever part of another medical breech it's very possible to link that back to you. I personally do not think that matters if it's anonymized or not because there's basically nothing I could do about it anyway if it was ever used in a fucked up way.....just tell me what the fuck I owe you without having to agree to babysit some third party AI company TOS for the foreseeable forever until it ultimately also gets breeched like everywhere else does. It's not just the 6$ it's the principal of the thing.

IT’S ALIVE IN THE PHOTO the animal control guy said they’re probably in the vents.

Was doing my dishes, saw some movement and saw it. My first reaction was “that’s the ugliest toad I’ve ever seen” before noticing the ears and tail.

I submitted my resignation about 2 weeks ago, my last day is Friday. I’m moving states and starting a new job that I’m super excited about on Monday. When I put my notice in my boss was fine to my face, but apparently upset and bitter that I’m taking a lot of SAP knowledge with me. His true feelings got back to me of course, because people talk.

He randomly decided to buy everyone lunch today for our good performance the last few months, I was intentionally left out since my last day is Friday.

Free lunch isn’t a big deal, it was an unexpected surprise for everyone else. Just mildly infuriating to see everyone with their free meals while I eat the last remaining rice cakes in my pantry to prepare for my move 😂

Edit: Some of the guys at work got together and bought pizza for us/me today 🥹

How silly of me to expect a full pack
