I disapprove even more of the stealing, and I think it's important to note I wouldn't know about it unless Liz told me - she mentioned it kind of casually, and while she doesn't do it herself or think it's really okay, she definitely isn't as bothered by it as I am.

I guess the first injury didn't convince the other two so they had to jam their legs against it as well. The lady was also a member of our corporation's membership program, so they knew exactly how to complain if they didn't get what they wanted. These complaints would damage our score in the corporation and could cause some penalties, so it was just easier to give the lady what she wanted. We credited the money back to her debit card. The family had a 1 PM checkout, but by 2 PM they were still hanging around and in no hurry to leave. I finally lit a fire under their asses. When they did leave, they had three cars fully packed with what couldn't have been less than 12 people. They were in a 4 person room. For three nights. The housekeeper, who was supposed to get off at 3 PM, then spent the next 4 hours cleaning what had to be the most disgusting thing I ever saw. They left: 4 HUGE garbage bags of trash that were spilling across the floor, cigarette butts all over the floor, weird, smelly stains in the bathroom and tub, and, of course, no towels, washcloths, or tip.

So he calls him and tells him that he doesn't like the joke. The cousin apologises and says that he thought it would be funny. We thought it's over.\n\nThis morning, he emailed everyone in the extended family with links to high quality videos (I imagine he has tracked down the source of the videos and bought high quality copies). This was the video that he sent to my husband and other videos as well. He then says in the email that \"It's who you think it is\". Also says that they would have loved to know the truth before allowing \"this girl\" part of the family and around our children.\n\nSo as soon as this happens, we had phones ringing asking what's going on. Multiple emails saying they don't want their children/teenagers around me any longer. Multiple people deleted me as their Facebook friends and some have taken the liberty of posting some really hurtful status updates like \"the girl we accepted as part of our family was in fact someone who swallowed someone's sperms in front of camera\".

That's ok.\n\nPOST: A little background first: I am a secretary and work for a small family owned company that has been in business for 33 years. I started this past year, taking the position on as a second job. It is common knowledge at this company that for the first 31 years every year at Christmas time all the employees were given a full bonus, which was a check for 40 hours - essentially an extra paycheck worth one weeks pay - as well as hosting a company wide Christmas party at a local restaurant with an open bar. Last year, in the company's 32nd year, they were struggling with money and were having problems with several employees who were eventually let go for various reasons, but they still managed to give a bonus to everyone for 20 hours, so half of a paycheck, which in my opinion was still generous given the circumstances the business was facing financially and was a show of good faith to their employees. This year the company has been doing significantly better and could have afforded to give full 40 hour bonuses to the 10 employees that work there, however they did not. Now, I'm not by any means saying that they HAVE to give bonuses, cause well frankly they don't. Plus I have only worked there for 10 months, but a precedent had been set over the past 30 years, so a gesture would have been nice, one of the owners didn't even wish anyone a Merry Christmas when he called from his house in Florida. So we were all feeling a little bit like Clark Griswald. \n\nSo my revenge: Being one of the two members of the office staff, I had a pretty good idea early on that there would be no bonuses. And as an underpaid, frustrated employee I decided to seize my moment and enact my revenge. I have a large family and always like to send a Christmas cards to them, spending at least $50 in postage each year. So one day about a week and a half before Christmas I addressed all of my envelopes brought them to work, and used the stamp machine in my office taking about $53 off of the account. $53 is far less than a 40 hour bonus would have been, but damn it felt good.\n\nTL;DR:", "output": " Company I work for didn't give Christmas bonuses after doing it for 32 years, so I used the prepaid stamp machine to send out $53 worth of personal Christmas cards.", "generator": "preferred_response" }, { "id": "tldr_test_0069", "instruction": "SUBREDDIT: r/relationships\n\nTITLE: I [M 23] think I'm falling for someone [F 23] I shouldn't.\n\nPOST: About early January I began dating this girl and i never really thought it was going to go anywhere.

I used to try to be the bigger person and apologize for upsetting him(usually when I did nothing wrong), but that never got me anywhere other than him acting as though he deserved more than my apology. I'm pretty laid back person, but when ever he talking down to me, or even worse my mom or my sisters it enrages me. I think of all the years of low self-esteem and depression I went through. The hard thing is, he isn't some heartless monster. He loves us a lot, and he gets really upset after he hurts us.

I'm having a rough time with it.\n\nPOST: Here's the story (we're 21/22 year old females): My friend (\"C\") since preschool started dating a girl (\"S\") that we knew from girl scout camp. S had been dating a guy, broke up with him, and they started dating on the down low about 2 years ago. I found out after the summer had ended and was shocked, but got over it. The three of us were good friends, but I'm obviously closer to C, who I've known most of my life. \n\nC and S were working together at the same camp this summer, I didn't come back this year because I had an internship. A few weeks into the summer (they've been dating for almost 2 years at this point), S says she's kind of into this other counselor and just needs some time ALONE to think about their relationship, etc. So they go on a \"brea.\" C is crushed, but goes with it. They get a weekend off, and S comes back with hickies all over her, and it comes out that she's been hooking up with this other girl. \n\nSo I hear about all this and it just hits me really hard. I'm shocked at first because I can't believe S would do something like that, then freakin pissed at S for hurting C so terribly. I almost called S and cussed her out, but stopped myself. I visited camp for a night the day after I found out. I got the whole story from C, and S had the balls to come up and say hello to me like nothing was wrong. I was relatively friendly considering the situation, but underneath I was still pretty livid. \n\nAs some time passed, I was less angry and more sad because I had lost a good friend in S and never really got a chance to hear her side of the story. But now I don't feel like I can talk to her without betraying C.\n\nSo I'm really at a loss of what to do.\n\nTL;DR:", "output": " Friends dating each other, one cheats and they break up, don't know what to do about the friend I lost.", "generator": "preferred_response" }, { "id": "tldr_test_0096", "instruction": "SUBREDDIT: r/relationships\n\nTITLE: I [22/F] told my boyfriend [26/M] that I love him and he hasn't said it back.\n\nPOST: My boyfriend and I have been together since late February or early March 2014.

One of us has already gotten permission from his parents. It would be hard but not impossible financially - I work in a pet store one day a week and me and one of my to-be roommates both study IT and there's always some way to earn money in that sector. If necessary, we also have a backup plan to earn some extra bucks that I'd rather not share here. Due to several reasons, I can't tell my parents about this. \n\nMy main motivation for wanting to move out is the fact that my parents are moving far away from where I live now, making my daily commute to and from school (with public transport) a 2 hour one instead of a fifteen minute one, plus the added downside of leaving everyone and everything I know for a small village in the figurative middle of nowhere. They also keep telling me that I am not prepared for the real world and this, to me, would be a great way to learn how to function completely or almost completely autonomously in society. \n\nThe problem is that I don't know how to convince my parents to let me go through with this. I'm inclined to do it anyway even if they don't want me to, just because I need a place where I can get away from them and it's impossible if I'm stranded kilometres from every place I know.

My job has a $50,000 base salary then the rest is commission based. I currently have loans to pay (auto and school), I have an emergency fund, and a comfortable amount of cash in my checking account.\n\nSO - I know now is a good time to start saving for retirement. Based on my income, and the implications of being able to withdraw tax free in my retirement, the Roth seems the obvious choice. \n\nHowever, I keep making more and more. And should I hit my goals this year I will be above the income limit for a Roth ($116,000). So my question is - Should I open the Roth now with the knowledge that I may be over the threshold this year or within a couple years? Will I be shooting myself in the foot by then having two separate IRAs. Can they be combined?

Not sure what's going on here and looking for insight.\n\nPOST: I don't know if this is the right place for this question.. but I'm finding myself in a very confusing situation with a girl that I've known for about 6 years. To provide some background information, when I first met this girl she had a boyfriend in a long distance relationship, we hung out regularly and became very good friends. After awhile though.. our friendship began to turn into something much more intimate. We settled on describing it as \"friends with benefits\".. but even then we weren't sure. Essentially, we were a couple without being a couple. Even a friends with benefits scenario wasn't quite accurate. We went on regular dates.. we went out to dinner, movies, went on trips .. spent every waking moment together practically.. all under the tacit understanding that we weren't a couple and that we weren't in a relationship together. This carried on for about 1 1/2 years .. and yes .. she maintained her long distance relationship while this went on.. I'm a horrible person, I know. Eventually, her boyfriend found out, they split. She moved across the country shortly after and we lost contact.\n\nFast forward to two years ago. She resurfaces and occasionally visits the state I live in.. whenever she does, we always fall back into our old ways. On some occasions we're just friends, on other occasions we're more than just friends... and on other occasions still, we're once again a couple without being a couple.\n\nFast forward to two weeks ago.. we hook up again.. we go out for a romantic dinner, caught a movie, stargazing etc. etc. the next day, she casually mentions that she has a boyfriend and that she feels bad .. not because she has a boyfriend, but because she doesn't feel bad about having a boyfriend. No matter what we do, we always find that we come back to each other without ever knowing what we're actually doing.\n\nI'm oblivious when it comes to normal relationships and even platonic friendships, and yet I continue to find myself in this twisted mess of nonsense...

I (age 21) broke up with my gf (age 23) a few weeks ago and i'm going through the motions; guilt, longing, acceptance, \" fuck it, i'm free!\"-mode, etc. We were together for around two years and it was a long distance relationship. Our relationship was never easy. Three months after my previous (1 yr) relationship i initiated the relationship. I was looking for something casual because my previous relationship didn't end on the best of terms and she was looking for something more serious. I told her from the beginning that I wasn't ready for anything serious but I felt like if i didn't tell her what she wanted to hear I'd lose her. She's one of those brilliant shy types.

I couldn't afford my place, wasn't getting enough hours, wasn't in school, not really going anywhere in life,etc; so I moved back in with my family. We both had bad experiences with LDR, the answer seemed pretty obvious. We remained friends, I went back to school & figured out my major, our relationship became one of those on and off relationships. We would break up, then see each other and get back together. We kept breaking up because of the problems that come with a LDR. Everyone-including the participants,was getting sick of it.\nAs i said before, i ended up breaking it off a few weeks ago.

Second, I don't if this is going to come off petty, but I'm out of ideas. \n\nI'm a sophomore in college and currently living in an apartment with 4 other girls. Three of the girls I knew my freshmen year and we decided to live together.

However, when we first met our roommate we found out she was an exchange student. \n\nWhich is no big deal, but some of her lifestyle ideals are different because of the culture she grew up in. First, she doesn't want anyone talking or using the living room past midnight; which is pretty much impossible for college students living a college lifestyle. Second, she wants the doors to be locked at all times, and gets angry when someone leaves the door unlocked. These first two rules are livable, and my roommates and I all try to be as quiet as possible after midnight and lock the doors when leaving or before bed. But recently she has wanted to keep the heat at 73 degrees. We're living in the Midwest so the average temperature outside is about 20 degrees Fahrenheit. By keeping it at 73, we are increasing our electrical bill astronomically. Last month is was $300. This roommate also has a space heater that she leaves running constantly. One of my other roommates tried to counter this by turning down the heat whenever she could. This still uses a lot of electricity as we cycle from hot and cold. What can I do about this reddit, are there any options? We all signed separate leases, and there's not a way to switch roommates. I just can't afford to keep paying $60 a month for electricity.

From my tattoo artist who is now a competitive bodybuilder to my SO when we started this journey, it has been a consistent cause of frustration for me, as these terms- as well as constitutional psychology in general- has been discredited for years.\n\nConstitutional psychology was developed by a psychologist named William Herbert Sheldon in the 1940's. He asserted that the human body could be split up into three \"somatotypes\"- the endomorph, ectomorph, and mesomorph. He wrote a book on the topic in the 50's called *Atlas of Men*. Each somatotype was characterized as representing a different temperament, level of intelligence, and overall value. It had/has foundations in racism and antisemitism. \n\nThe three types were described as follows (from Wikipedia): \n\nEctomorphic: characterized as linear, thin, fragile, lightly muscled, flat chested and delicate; described as cerebrotonic inclined to desire isolation, solitude and concealment; and being tense, anxious, restrained in posture and movement, introverted and secretive.\n\nMesomorphic: characterized as hard, rugged, rectangular, athletically built with well developed muscles, thick skin and good posture; described as somatotonic inclined towards physical adventure and risk taking; and being vigorous, courageous, direct and dominant.\n\nEndomorphic: characterized as round and soft with under-developed muscles and having difficulty losing weight; described as viscerotonic enjoying food, people and affection; having slow reactions; and being disposed to complacency.\n\nI just wanted everyone to recognize that though it would be very convenient to have this wonderful defiance of the laws of thermodynamics to excuse the inability or lack of desire to lose weight, they have long since been disproven and to use these terms is intellectually dishonest.

When I told my parents about it my Dad kind of scared me that I needed to maintain some form of debt that it didn't impact my credit score down the line.\n\nAfter reading the FAQ, I learned there are obviously a lot of misconceptions about what does and does not impact your credit score. Clearly, failing to pay or paying late has a negative impact, and clearly having a high utilization rate also has a negative impact. But now that I have paid off my 2 big loans (student/car) will that eventually have a negative impact on my score? I'll continue using my two credit cards, but I have no plans to buy a house or another car anytime soon so I do not forsee myself taking out another loan for quite some time. Can someone shed some more light on this or offer some advice?\n\nTL;DR:", "output": " As of today I'm 100% debt free, will not having any significant loans such as a house/car/student loans for the next few years have a negative impact on my credit score?", "generator": "preferred_response" }, { "id": "tldr_test_0185", "instruction": "SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit\n\nTITLE: Reddit!

We do everything we can to keep up with it, dri-z-air containers in every room, ionic pro air cleaner, run a fan all night long in the bedroom (burrrr) and I can only clean so much!

They did this in June....the dry season...I have taken pictures of the worst of it and sent them to the property management company and had several conversations with the landlord about it. I have taken to every spring doing a cleaning then putting on a fresh coat of Killz but it comes back every year.

I haven't run much since December (read: one 5-6 mile run every 3 weeks or so), so I don't think I can jump right into a full running schedule that an advanced runner would use, but I also need more volume to maintain fitness than a program that a beginner would use. Ideally, I want be able to run the marathon at at least an 11' mile pace (That's about 30''/mile slower than my steady pace right now). Do you have any ideas on how I could best structure my training so that I don't lose fitness as I'm increasing my running volume? Right now, I'm looking at starting out running 4 days/week, 3mi/3mi/3mi/6mi, and supplementing the shorter runs with about 30' minutes of cardio, as well as throwing in 2 extra days of cross training.
