How it's apparently OK for people who have children to treat people who don't like they're children themselves. That, and the implication that the people without kids should always be willing to jump to help out the people who do. I had this basic conversation with three different co-workers:

"I noticed that (manager) let you have a week off at the end of the month, how did you get away with that? We've already got a bunch of people scheduled off that put in way ahead of you. It's going to be a nightmare for everyone still here."

"I got a jury duty notice for April 30, I don't know how many days they're going to need me but I'm obviously going to need those days off. The week is tentative, sometimes it takes that long."

"But you get off at 6:30 in the morning! (I work nights) You can easily make it down there in time."

"So, you want me to work basically 16-hour shifts with two commutes, thus guaranteeing I get 4, 5 hours of sleep maximum in addition to not being able to do anything else."

"Oh, don't be such a baby. When you have kids, 16 hours of work on 4-5 hours sleep is something you deal with every day. You should learn to deal with it now."

I fucking hated that shit in the military.

Life is rustling my jimmies hardcore right now;
So my grandpa on my fathers side died about 3 weeks ago at the age of 88.

In 2006 my dad started taking care of him because by that age grandpa had become infirm and was more or less the entering the early stages of dementia. During the year or so that my dad was taking care of grandpa, my dad was stealing from him. Grandpa was obviously on SS but he also got a disability check from the VA and both came to around $4000. This stealing went on until grandpa finally had a moment of clarity and was able to realize all of his money was disappearing. Once grandpa sees that hes being stolen from he kicks my dad out and pretty much disowns him.

Some how after my dad getting kicked out he was able to set grandpa up with a drug addicted piece of shit to be grandpa's caretaker. This drug addicted being the piece of shit she was just continues on with what my dad was doing. She would have grandpa write $1000 checks out to cash and other such bullshit.

We finally found out about this early 2010 due to the fact my mother was still on grandpa's checking account and the bank called her about suspicious activity. My sister and her husband end up driving out to Dallas were grandpa lived to try and fix the situation but by then it was hopeless. Grandpa was even more senile by that age and Im sure in his not all there mind what happened between him and our dad was affecting his mindset. Sister ends up leaving with grandpa in the care of a piece of shit methhead

Flash forward to 2012 and the methhead for whatever reason decides to leave. Some distant cousin of ours comes into the picture and says hes going to take care of grandpa and make sure he is taken care of. Eventually he ends up having a woman move into grandpa's house to be his live in caretaker which is paid for by the VA. From this point on we really dont have much contact with grandpa seeing as how we all live in Arizona, have fairly busy lives and the last time that any of saw him it ended pretty badly. This arrangement continues on until grandpas death a few weeks ago.

With grandpa dead my sister learns that she is the executor of his estate, an estate which has about $8000 worth of debt. As the days go by after his death it becomes obvious that grandpa had been continued to have been taken advantage of by our cousin and this live in caretaker. The caretaker was scamming the va, as she was being paid by the va but never even lived with grandpa. The cousin was on grandpa's checking account so he was able to do whatever he wanted to.

Anyways my sister drove there a few days ago to get his ashes and try and sort through all this mess(her, my brother and me were the only people in grandpa's will) and see what was left. She said there was literally nothing left when she got there. His house(which wasnt really his since his dead wife fucked him over somehow and willed it to her kids) was completely empty. As soon as grandpa died the cousin and caretaker just cleaned the place out. Everything they wanted they simply took for themselves. Even personal items like pictures of grandpa with us was taken.

Shitty way for a 88 year old WW2 vet to end his life.

My bank's fucking insane website security. I have to select a password with rules so intricate that it's nothing like any of my other passwords, hence I can never remember it. And if I get the password wrong twice in a row, which I invariably do, I get locked out and have to call them to reset it. THEN I have to select a totally new password, which can't be the same as any of my previous passwords, and repeat the whole shit-fucking fiasco over again.

considering pretty much all orphans are black, it would be pretty ridiculous if she wasn't black.

I think it looks pretty decent for what it is. What really rustles my jimmies is when remakes of musicals are not musicals.

I went and watched the trailer to the original film and was shocked to see that she wasn't a ginger. I'd somehow made her into a ginger in my mind since I last saw the film (prolly 25+ years ago).

I honestly don't see any problem with this? Are people mad because they cast black people? What year is this?

It looks like they were pretty faithful to the original.
I figured it was more the redhead thing than the black thing. I mean, just dye the black girls hair red and be done with it. But then, I hate the show and always have, so I refuse to get animated by something like this.

I also didn't realize she wasn't ginger in the original movie, but wasn't that movie black and white? I'm pretty sure she's been a ginger everyplace else she's been depicted (like comic books).

Overly helpful people who feel the need to get their hands involved in what everyone else is doing, and who get pissy when you tell them you "got it" and don't need their assistance.

Neighbor lady in the apartment across from me (we share a stairwell), offered to bring any packages I had in from the rain. I said don't worry about it, and she kept trying to convince me (the UPS guy always wraps them in a plastic bag when it rains). I'd prefer she didn't get hurt carrying something or even fucking with them. She was kind of huffy about it after I said "nah it's okay, don't worry about it" repeatedly. She made some comment about "just trying to be neighborly". You're 20 years old than me lady, go away.

This apprentice we have at work keeps almost trying to be my kid brother, its pretty obnoxious. Sometimes he tries to carry my jacket for me, its fucking creepy. I told him to leave my stuff alone, but he still does it occasionally. A couple times I was pulling a pallet jack with no load and he grabbed the other side of the handle and tried to walk it with me. I told him "I got it" repeatedly and he got all disgruntled and muttered "fine".



The only other sure jimmy-rustler for me are cashiers who won't fuck off when you tell them you don't want to sign up for some bullshit membership card. I said "no" already, piss off.
