When I was younger I used to work at a big bank under a team of advisors. I was the main associate for our group, but also lended backup assistance to two other groups. I had a situation where an FA - not the one I worked for - needed me to do a few tasks for him when his assistant was out; nothing crazy time-sensitive. The main way we communicated was through chat/email, and he would get upset when I prioritized my own group’s clients, regularly becoming verbally aggressive.

One day he decided to threaten me with calling HR, so I turned it around on him and replied “Let’s. I’m sure they’d be really curious to know why you think it’s acceptable to talk to me this way.” That one interaction changed his tune quick (apparently he’d already gotten complaints).

Don’t let the older generations bully you in the office. If you’re good at your job, do things by the book, and have receipts, threats are empty.

Eh, screw the whole thing.

I started making my own at home using the seasoning packet and sauces. Target also sells a kit that includes the tortillas. Tastes like a better Taco Bell, you can stuff it as much as you want, and you don’t get spicy butthole after.

Calm down, Emily Gilmore.

Just stop eating at McDonalds in general. There are equally as pricey but healthier and tastier burger joints out there (or both). Check out your local restaurants; they’re likely on par in price.

I see him more as a Donnie Darko type.

Anybody else see this photo and think 1) damn, that’s a nice smile; he’s fine, and 2) my hero.

I won the D.A.R.E. essay contest at my school. I like drugs.

Shhhh you can’t let all the beans out of the bag

Yes, more beans better.

Isn’t Heinz their favorite brand for beans on toast? I think they just like the tomatoey sauce.

Feels like my birthday

Anecdotal, but I grew up in the US and I learned this in middle school as a gifted student. Others have mentioned it depends on the state/curriculum. I imagine in other countries they also divide their students between standard/honors/gifted-type tiers; they certainly do in the Netherlands, which is where I did my graduate studies.

But does it say it thrice?
