Hello. I hope everyone has a great day! Edit: I was going to listen to this before work, but work started early. ): Tell me guys, is the video as amazing as usual?
Yeah, I tried canceling my membership because I had a new job that did not allow me to visit that gym anymore. When I called they told me I had to do it in written form, but the owners just happen to be on holiday and they were "unsure if they can do it before the deadline" said deadline was two weeks out before my contract would renew for another 6 months....so I called them every day, untill they messed up and the owner picked up the phone and they no longer could lie to mr.
AOL (back when it was a thing) was also pretty much impossible to cancel. They had phone centers dedicated and trained to basically throw you around in loops until you finally gave up. My parents eventually just closed the bank account AOL had on file to get rid of them. I think they did receive some demand letters, ignored them, and eventually the ISP part of AOL went under. I wouldn't be surprised if the now noncollectable debt is still being repackaged and resold on the derivatives market.
I remembered that my manager at cracker barrel would get mad at the smokers for "needing" a smoke break every hour or so. "I've been smoking heavily for twenty years and can't go on smoke breaks at all some days! they can make it a couple hours!" I don't smoke, but appreciated that because people kept trying to sneak off on me
As someone who currently works at Cracker Barrel, it’s against corporate policy. Employees (wearing uniform) cannot smoke on the premises, on or off the clock. Some managers may allow it, but if one of the higher ups comes by, it’s immediate termination. I know a guy who got fired when our HR guy came down to visit randomly for smoking by the dumpsters. A lot of people and managers sneak to the bathrooms to vape though 😭
@@fogwhisker6879 agreed. People can get fired for smoking marijuana on their off hours, even if it was once 10 days ago since it’s visible on drug tests for a month but tobacco smokers can just not work for large chunks of the day?
Did OP say 10 plus smoke brakes? That's a break at least every 48 minutes assuming you work 8 hours a day. That doesn't even count a lunch break, depending upon who you work for the 30 to 60 minutes typically. That company must be hemorrhaging money, I'll assume the breaks take 6 minutes, only ten are take a day, so an hour. 5 working days a week for 18 employees means they're costing 90 hours a week for the extra breaks. That's 4,500 hours a year if each employee only gets 2 weeks vacation a year. At Washington minimum wage of $13.69 an hour as of 2021, that $61,605. The company could hire 2 and a quarter extra minimum wage workers for that. I don't know if it's just me, but I smoke, however, I only use the regular breaks because my work keeps me distracted. I smoke more heavily when I don't have anything to do. OP was right to come up with their plan, even with my conservative estimate of 5 extra hours per smoker, of paid breaks each week, that's still really unfair.
That dude messing with OP was an idiot. It is a universal constant on Earth, never, ever get the tax man involved. You certainly don't goad someone who only has something to gain by involving the tax man, into calling them. It was a joke made in a Golden Age Batman comic, but the Joker, who isn't afraid of a 6ft tall ninja dressed like a bat. Is terrified of the IRS. Batman can put his ass in the looney bin, but the IRS can put him in big boy prison (federal).
@@chaosreaver3597 I can still recall how the Joker went all "AAAAAAAUUUHHHH!!!!" the moment he saw exactly what he owed the IRS. At least he's smart enough to know better than to screw with the guys who handle taxes.
@@RiptoGakt I don't remember the issue number, but I'm fairly certain the issue was called "The Joker's Millions". He had three options after he was left counterfeit money as an inheritance from another crime boss. 1) Admit someone was able to pull a prank on him to get the IRS off his back, but lose creditably as the "Clown Prince of Crime" 2) Go to jail for tax evasion. Big boy prison time. 3) Steal the money needed to pay the IRS. Save face. He chose option 3. And he took it with a no nonsense approach, no calling cards or gimmicks, just in and out, swipe the money with no monologues or messing about and no convoluted plans. It's the only time he took crime seriously. All because the IRS is the worst combo of bureaucracy and law enforcement. Back to the real world, Al Capone is probably the most famous example, but thousands of criminals the FBI couldn't touch have been completely destroyed by the IRS. It's weird to think that in most countries someone who amounts to an accountant is more effective than someone authorised to carry a firearm when shutting down illegal operations.
I was lucky. At my previous job, smokers were allowed to take a smoke break every 3.5 hours. My boss, who was a nonsmoker herself, said that if smokers get a smoke break, then the nonsmokers can have what she called a fresh air break.
When I worked at Burger King, I would take "fresh air breaks" after my manager or this other specific coworker took smoke breaks. You get to walk away for 10 minutes, paid, but I don't? No fucking way. That specific coworker always made a big deal about it too. "You don't even smoke, what are you doing!?" Walking away from the bullshit for a few minutes, just like you.
Being done with people's shit is why I only take bathroom breaks on the clock. Sometimes I need like five minutes to cool down and recenter myself so going to the bathroom gives me some privacy away from customers, coworkers and managers.
OMG, I HATED that smokers got extra breaks at work! They get to slack off and keep getting paid, but I had to pick up the slack, making me seem like a sucker for not smoking. They might as well as say "we pay extra for giving yourself lung cancer!"

Glad my gym sent out a message stating that they weren't billing due to covid and ate the loss. I've been debating about upgrading my membership due to that
lucky, mine stopped the billing for a awhile but then started billing again and they gave us an annual fee even tho we werent able to go to the gym for the whole year
oh I'd absolutely upgrade in your position, it's sad but businesses normally just wanna drain us dry, so any actual consideration on their part makes me wanna reward it.
Ah love those story's of people going "I work twice hard as everyone so I should get a little time" "no everyone gets the same" "ok I guess I'll work less then and you well have to hire another person. Have fun paying 800 for 15 more mins!" "Wait no!"
As a smoker myself, I ONLY take a smoke break *if* there’s at least 1 other person working, we aren’t swamped with customers, and I get my coworker’s explicit consent. Even than that’s a maybe. People who take excess smoke breaks like that get on my nerves tbh. I understand the addiction and wanting to have a drag but at the same time, you’re at work and it isn’t fair to your coworkers who have to pick up your slack. Keep in mind, I smoke a lot unfortunately. Trying to cut back though!
I did the same as you when I worked and needed a cigarette I waited until it was my actual break and sucked down like two or three and then went back to work. It's not that hard and I too am a heavy smoker.
I’m planning to someday try smoking non-tobacco herbs (I found a website on all kinds of herbs you an use. Mint, sandalwood, lemongrass etc) simply because there are some really gorgeous handmade tobacco pipes out there and one day I will purchase one just for the aesthetic of being able to sit on my porch and smoke out of a carved wooden pipe like Bilbo Baggins
I've tried a few kinds of herbal cigarettes (the non tobacco kind, not the get-you-baked kind) and used to be a smoker, the herbal ones are horrible in my experience and contain about as much tar as tobacco. Tobacco ain't much better when you start in terms of taste and isn't really any worse for you aside from addiction. This isn't to recommend smoking tobacco, that's still a terrible idea but herbal ones are pretty much just as bad, just easier to quit. Tldr as a former smoker who's tried both, I recommend trying neither.
My mom gets these big boxes of tobacco leaves and makes her own cigarettes and loves it :) she breathes a lot better than she did while smoking store bought ones too 🙏🏻
Arkansan here- Can confirm that renters rights here are still abysmal. In a lot of cases, it’s cheaper to buy a home and make a monthly house payment than to pay rent (at least in my city around 2019, not sure what it’s like now)
"If I had a problem with that, they would have no issue speaking to the authorities." That's what they said. Guess what OP spoke the authorities. Now they're complaining why?. Well you told me that you would have a problem.
as a non-smoker I always thought it was unfair I had to 'keep working all the time" for presumably the same or worse wages, while smokers got to take frequent (up to hourly) 15 minute breaks to smoke- so I started taking "fresh air breaks" under the same guidelines as "smoke breaks" (all the same legal needs, hours worked, time permitted) and documented each and every one (something smokers didn't do) it always felt pretty nice. Managers always tried to pull the "were too busy for EVERYONE to take breaks" odd I never failed to do my duties, despite this "apparent workload"
My dad is a 30 year Ret Chief MSgt USAF. He never smoked, even though both his parents did. At his retirement party he stood up to give his speech (it should be noted my dad was Public Affairs, talking in front of groups was part of his job, and he was good at it) and proceeded to amuse the room. There were some very sheepish looks from longtime colleagues when he laid out the calculations of how many more months he'd worked than all the smokers. It was glorious.
Your story, RSlash, is not about luck. It's basic human decency, you know, the thing most scummy landlords have none of. One day is nothing, I would gladly allow you to use it if this means a safe transition from one place to another. You were actually unlucky for having a scumbag of a landlord, but it makes sense of why you left your old place.
I'm a tenant too but I understand that it's not just a day. Let me explain, in my country lease usually end on 30 or 31 and we have to vacate by that dey or else we pay for another month. And our move in date is the 1st therefore if I'm lineup to move in but previous tenant doesn't move out then I can't move in which happen to me once before and the landlord have to put me up in a hotel for 2 days as per a lease agreement and reimburse me for extension of my storage fee's. So yeah it's not just a day. Oh and for rslash on your problem, I just rent a temporary storage unit and a day in a hotel. It's much easier than a day of hectic move and more economical than letting 2 lease overlapping for a month.
Move everything into the u-haul on the 15. Get a hotel and park the u-haul there. Check out the 16 and move in… voila! Not sure why you’d need to leave everything on the sidewalk?
I had a nice landlord that let me get my keys a day early. I was an amazing tenant and left the apartment in better condition when I left. They called me to let me know I cleaned like a professional and wanted to hire me. Lol I would've did it if I wasn't moving back to Hawaii with my husband. (Army)
@@gypsydust - That's basically what I did with my most recent move. The landlords for the old place were unwilling to budge even a single day, claiming they had someone wanting to move in. It's been three months and the house is still empty.
Lol when I was in the army I had a peer that would take 45 minute smoke breaks 5 times a day, leaving me with the entire work load… So I started to take “fresh air breaks” my NCO figured out what I was doing quickly and then figured out why… she then chewed that dudes ass for like 10 minutes
I had the same argument as the first story at my previous employer. Smokers were given 1 hour per day for smoke breaks. Non smokers nothing. 5 hours per week extra work for me. I didn't get anywhere with it
I mean, I don't get why you'd go out of your way to do more work than you're employer asks for. If they say work is 9 AM to 5 PM, I'm working 9 AM to 5 PM. Especially if they institute draconian policies there's no reason for me to put in any more effort than exactly what is required.
My husband worked a well-known department store in our city during his younger years. On Black Friday the store was calling out specials for shoppers every hour. He and a fellow employee were called to an area that was soon to call out male and female hankerchiefs and socks for $.50 per single packages. About an hour before store was due to close, they called out the special. My husband and his fellow worker were set up on a platform and he swears to this day that he and his fellow employee watched, stunned, as a wave of people behan rushing their direction. When the customers arrived, they had to start tossing hankerchiefs and socks out into the crowd to survive and nearly didn't once the 300 or so packages ran out. He said it was the only Black Friday he feared for his life, literally.
Your story about the gym reminded one of my own: when i tried to cancel my contract with a gym and they kept insisting with every call and e-mail that I need to sign some papers and I can only do that in one of their gyms (which were closed due to pandemic). Well let's see what CAN be done online... move all the money to another bank account before the payment day and back the day after (yhea I was loosing a few bucks on transfer fees but was still cheaper than their subscription). A got a call in 2 moths and the guy on the phone said something along the lines of: "If you do not pay the subscription in 2 weeks we will have to cancel your contract". My answer: "Gee Thanks!"
We got a new GM, who wanted to make his mark. He issued a notice that all leave above four accrued weeks must be taken or be forfeited. I directed him to my contract, which allows up to ten weeks of accrued annual leave, at which point you must either take the leave, or be paid in lieu - no forfeiture mentioned. He shut up on that one, and I made sure to keep my leave at about 8-9 weeks (taking a week every three months, as we get four weeks a year by law in Oz) for the remainder of my tenure, with a nice lump sum payout of leave when I left the company. Don't let them push you around.
I was a nonsmoker at one of my military units. Originally there was set times for smoke breaks and anyone could go. After a command change, they did away with set breaks and send take them when you need, but don't abuse it. I was at the smoking area talking with some friends that were smokers. The boss came by and said you don't smoke and you can't take smoke breaks. I looked him dead in the face and said I'm taking my second hand smoke break, I sit here and breath in their smoke. It's cheaper and more effective than smoking my own cigarettes. The boss thought about what I said, looked at me and said fair enough, I can't argue your logic and walked away. I was there another 18 months before transferring and he never brought it up again when he would see me outside.
I work at a gym and i can say many people are getting screwed over by memberships and fees its crazy and while there ripping off customers they refuse to pay us above 7.25 a hour. I hate when people come to me and when asked about refunds all i can do is shrug my shoulders and apologize. I get yelled at non stop and people dont get its not my choice. I literally broke down crying cause if people taking there aggression on me and not my boss.
There was this older man I knew (he was my dad’s childhood friend) who kept the same packet of cigarets in his pocket for over 10 years so that he could just say “Can I leave for a smoke break?” while pulling out the old packet.Then he would go on a short walk
When my dad was in the Army (53-57) they'd say " smoke em' if you got em'" If you didn't smoke, you didn't get a break. So he started smoking. We lost him to COPD even after he quit smoking 25 years before he passed (71).
Depending on who says to read the damn contract it's either the best or most stupid advice they could give. So: make sure you read your contracts thoroughly.
Like the smoking one, I was the sole non smoker working at Red Rooster (Australian fast food) and I was usually left alone in the kitchen during frequent and long smoke breaks staff took all together. I said I wanted a Nintendo DS break and the store manager laughed saying I didn't need a break. I brought up the smoke breaks and she replied that smoking is different because it's addictive. I printed out and brought in numerous studies stating that video games are addictive (I didn't actually read the studies, but neither did she so it was no biggy) In the end I got my Nintendo DS break but everyone had their smoke breaks limited to 3 maximum per shift and 10 min each which didn't screw over the other staff working.
The gym story reminds me of something that happened to me. I had to threaten to sue them to get them to stop trying to charge me. I am transgender, and after about 3 months into a two year contract they told me I wasn't allowed access to their facilities. They told me they have policies against transgender people using their pools, locker rooms, and a list of other things that were included in the contract. Of course this policy against transgender people wasn't listed anywhere on any website, contract, or anything, and discrimination in itself isn't legal. They refused to let me cancel it and tried to make me pay out the entire contract, even though they were the ones who broke the contract by not allowing me access the facilities I was paying for. I canceled the debit card associated with the contract so they couldn't take my money, and every time I got a phone call, I'd tell them the same thing. I will not pay to terminate a contract when I was not the one who broke the contract. After 3 years, including a year of them trying to charge me even after the contract expired, I finally got tired of it. I told them that if the contract wasn't cancelled, with all charges dropped, I'd be calling a lawyer for discrimination against transgender people as soon as we got off the phone. I ended up getting forwarded to the vice president of the company who apologized and had all charges canceled. I'll never use Genesis Health Clubs again, and I almost wish I had sued them anyway.
I just remembered a malicious compliance story that happened to me when I was younger. I worked at a popular fast food place and we used to work overtime when ever we wanted the money was really nice. One day i guess the higher ups complained about the amount of overtime they were paying. Everyone who worked there up to that point got along really well and work was fun. Then instead of just having a staff meeting to address the overtime issues in a respectful and civil way the supervisor began treating us like children scolding us for the things we normally did that was never an issue and one bitchy supervisor.said nobody is to work any overtime ever. One busy day I think we were short staffed or someone was late or something and ended up not clocking out on time and I was berated for it. I decided I was not going to go through that again. I knew it would come back to bite them eventually. I never asked to work overtime again and I was contented 😌. One weekend I worked the morning shift and a few of night shift staff called in for various reasons saying they weren't coming in. The night was shaping up to be a busy one. My shift was ending and the bitchy supervisor was on the short staffed night shift. She came to me while i was doing my shift change duties to ask if I would work a double shift I said na I'm good. She got other people to work double shifts and it was just going to be my station to fill. She said don't you want some extra money I looked at her and said na I don't like money much and left. She eneded up doing her supervisor duties plus working as the back up on my station lol her night was very busy 🤣🤣🤣
Paying 12 months rent up front for an apartment you only intend on renting for a short amount of time might be the dumbest thing I’ve heard in a long time, all for the gain of not wanting to write the cheque out each month. He could have just written down 12 cheques at the start and sent them off each month and avoided the hassle.
Lol something similar to the first story happened to me years back, we bought those bubble pipes and just hung out in front of the store blowing bubbles until the smokers got the message

I worked in an office where everyone was 9 to 5. Except one guy who left at 3:30 because "I start at 7:30". I happened to be in early one day around 8:15, who shows up at around 8:45 while was in the loo. Gets his papers and books out (pre computer age) and when I come back from the loo, he is busy working. I said hello and made a big show of rummaging through my stuff on my desk indicating I now knew about his getting in early bullshit. Nothing was ever said but from that day on he stuck around in the office to 4:30 because " they cancelled my early train home, bloody cuts!".
Rslash you actually got lucky with your landlords. I have literally done the "load the uhaul from 10pm to 12am, move in from 12am to 2am" dance twice. Both times eventually learning nobody was moving in or out of the affected apartments in that time frame. Landlords are just douches by nature.
For the last story: In some Nordic countries, you get an hour off of work for "exercise/physical enrichment" once a week. There's a very strict rule what kind of exercise it involves, but just taking a full walk all the way home counts. (for example: walking/running/bicycling counts, but e-sports or some other "not moving at all" sport activity doesn't). This also means you can get off work early if you actually do the activity (mostly walks for me). I have been super happy about this opportunity, since I can just leave early on e.g. a Friday afternoon and just take a stress-free walk to my apartment. YAY!
Moving timing problems: you talk with the one leaving your destination and the folks moving in in your flat, and buy a day, a week, what you like. It's not hard all wants some time to move.
R/ 's move conundrum was strange. During a few moves I've been in that position, but the landlords of the places I would move to would always let me prorate for a few extra days ahead of the lease so I'd have time to move and also clean my previous residence. It is not like this kind of situation is unusual, and why wouldn't they be fine with a few more days of rent paid? There is no way that the new apartment would be move-in ready the day after it was vacated anyway. It had to be empty and ready to occupy.
I had a boss that didn't pay into my my Social Security one year. Or anybody else's (small place). We only accidently found out when an older woman who was thinking of retiring checked her SS, and it hadn't been payed into. We were all afraid, but since it had been taken out of our checks, she owed them big bucks. I hate scummy bosses.
12:10 I used to work in an office with a standard 7 1/2 hour day. Managers had a considerably higher salary than the rest of us because they were expected to work reasonable additional hours. Not my manager. In the door on the dot of 9am, half an hour for lunch, and he was out the door by 5pm every day. And usually at least another half an hour a day just chatting.
That "being on time" nagging has been around forever. Several times a boss (often a new one) has made it crystal clear to us workers that working starts then and then - not later. Lunch was 40 minutes - not one hour etc. Off course its important to be on time every morning and come in after lunch on time, right? Well, then its just as important to leave on time, exactly as the redditpost states. And every time they pressured us about punctuality the reaction became just that. Only that in my line of work there are many an afternoon when tasks emerge minutes before one is finished with the day. And there are many a lunch during a year that have to be cut short to satisfy customer demand, thereby securing all our jobs. So it pays for the company that everybody work 15-20 minutes extra some days. Everybody but the bosses off course. They were often out the door an hour early, to play golf, and regularly took over an hour lunch, while the folks on the floor did the labor. It adds up too. I must have worked a thousand hours for free over 35 years. All this on top of regular overtime which I got paid for. So this flexiblity made us expect the same in return. When denied that flexibility just because management liked to flex their authority, it backfired time and time again. After a short while the same "strict" bosses started asking politely if we could go "back" to the same culture of flexiblity and take those extra loads even if we were technically off the clock? Off course, sir/madam, was always the answer. But we were adament that the principle had to go both ways. Not surprisingly, they agreed.
I saw a meme with the picture of the baby Yoda that has the perfect response to this power tripping manager. It goes like this: Manager: You're late! Me: "I can turn around and go home if that's a problem."
5-10 breaks a day?!?! What's that a cigarette every hour?? Or do they mean everyone all together, added up, it's 5-10 breaks a day? I'm lucky if I can even get a cig on my 20 minute break. It's either eat or have a cigarette so I have to make a wise decision every time. Well it's simple for me. If I'm hungry, eat. If I'm not hungry go outside for a cig. 😂 I work part time so my breaks are 20 minutes for every 4 hour shift. Ok well now that's over lmao I have to say your mic setup is nice. It sounds really good. This one is perfect.
14:18 If paid hourly it kinda makes sense some of the time, but engineers such as these are salaried... The only thing that matters is their output and how they function with the rest of the company. My father owns a company that consists of only engineers(hardware development). They're typically always on the job from 9-3(more commonly 8-4or5), but it's not an ironclad rule. It just makes it easier to work together that way. Aside from that people work the amount necessary to get the work done and bonuses are handed out based on work completed.
One thing I love about working in construction is my boss doesn't care when I start or finish in the day so long as I put down the proper hours on my time sheet every week.

I once read a tweet that said "trying to cancel a gym membership is like tryna get out of the cartel." This checks out.
This is so true sadly
*cough* *cough* ~ planet fitness~ *cough*
Yeah, I tried canceling my membership because I had a new job that did not allow me to visit that gym anymore. When I called they told me I had to do it in written form, but the owners just happen to be on holiday and they were "unsure if they can do it before the deadline" said deadline was two weeks out before my contract would renew for another 6 months....so I called them every day, untill they messed up and the owner picked up the phone and they no longer could lie to mr.
AOL (back when it was a thing) was also pretty much impossible to cancel. They had phone centers dedicated and trained to basically throw you around in loops until you finally gave up. My parents eventually just closed the bank account AOL had on file to get rid of them. I think they did receive some demand letters, ignored them, and eventually the ISP part of AOL went under. I wouldn't be surprised if the now noncollectable debt is still being repackaged and resold on the derivatives market.
hence I will never get one

I don't smoke, but appreciated that because people kept trying to sneak off on me
i mean, if your addiction interferes with your work/daily life to the point where you need to smoke every HOUR, you should get help :D
As someone who currently works at Cracker Barrel, it’s against corporate policy. Employees (wearing uniform) cannot smoke on the premises, on or off the clock. Some managers may allow it, but if one of the higher ups comes by, it’s immediate termination. I know a guy who got fired when our HR guy came down to visit randomly for smoking by the dumpsters.

@@fogwhisker6879 agreed. People can get fired for smoking marijuana on their off hours, even if it was once 10 days ago since it’s visible on drug tests for a month but tobacco smokers can just not work for large chunks of the day?
@@fogwhisker6879 yeah my grandma whenever she visits we do activities but she leaves every 30 minutes or so to smoke :/
Did OP say 10 plus smoke brakes? That's a break at least every 48 minutes assuming you work 8 hours a day. That doesn't even count a lunch break, depending upon who you work for the 30 to 60 minutes typically.
That company must be hemorrhaging money, I'll assume the breaks take 6 minutes, only ten are take a day, so an hour. 5 working days a week for 18 employees means they're costing 90 hours a week for the extra breaks. That's 4,500 hours a year if each employee only gets 2 weeks vacation a year. At Washington minimum wage of $13.69 an hour as of 2021, that $61,605.
The company could hire 2 and a quarter extra minimum wage workers for that.
I don't know if it's just me, but I smoke, however, I only use the regular breaks because my work keeps me distracted.
I smoke more heavily when I don't have anything to do. OP was right to come up with their plan, even with my conservative estimate of 5 extra hours per smoker, of paid breaks each week, that's still really unfair.
“Why’d you report us? What did we ever do to you!?”
“Uh, you stole from me”

@@chaosreaver3597 I can still recall how the Joker went all "AAAAAAAUUUHHHH!!!!" the moment he saw exactly what he owed the IRS. At least he's smart enough to know better than to screw with the guys who handle taxes.
@@RiptoGakt I don't remember the issue number, but I'm fairly certain the issue was called "The Joker's Millions". He had three options after he was left counterfeit money as an inheritance from another crime boss.
1) Admit someone was able to pull a prank on him to get the IRS off his back, but lose creditably as the "Clown Prince of Crime"
2) Go to jail for tax evasion. Big boy prison time.
3) Steal the money needed to pay the IRS. Save face.
He chose option 3. And he took it with a no nonsense approach, no calling cards or gimmicks, just in and out, swipe the money with no monologues or messing about and no convoluted plans. It's the only time he took crime seriously. All because the IRS is the worst combo of bureaucracy and law enforcement.
Back to the real world, Al Capone is probably the most famous example, but thousands of criminals the FBI couldn't touch have been completely destroyed by the IRS.
It's weird to think that in most countries someone who amounts to an accountant is more effective than someone authorised to carry a firearm when shutting down illegal operations.
You can avoid getting arrested for a crime but you can’t defeat the irs for tax evasion

I was lucky. At my previous job, smokers were allowed to take a smoke break every 3.5 hours. My boss, who was a nonsmoker herself, said that if smokers get a smoke break, then the nonsmokers can have what she called a fresh air break.
Username checks out
When I worked at Burger King, I would take "fresh air breaks" after my manager or this other specific coworker took smoke breaks. You get to walk away for 10 minutes, paid, but I don't? No fucking way.
That specific coworker always made a big deal about it too. "You don't even smoke, what are you doing!?" Walking away from the bullshit for a few minutes, just like you.
Being done with people's shit is why I only take bathroom breaks on the clock. Sometimes I need like five minutes to cool down and recenter myself so going to the bathroom gives me some privacy away from customers, coworkers and managers.

Glad my gym sent out a message stating that they weren't billing due to covid and ate the loss. I've been debating about upgrading my membership due to that
That’s nice to know that the managers aren’t some greedy hogs and are honest people
lucky, mine stopped the billing for a awhile but then started billing again and they gave us an annual fee even tho we werent able to go to the gym for the whole year
oh I'd absolutely upgrade in your position, it's sad but businesses normally just wanna drain us dry, so any actual consideration on their part makes me wanna reward it.
@@damien678 agree, sad that honesty is rare enough to be considered an act of good will instead of standard business
I outright cackled when during the promotion at the end RSlash just throws himself as a punch line 🤣 thank you for making my morning so much better!

Ah love those story's of people going "I work twice hard as everyone so I should get a little time" "no everyone gets the same" "ok I guess I'll work less then and you well have to hire another person. Have fun paying 800 for 15 more mins!" "Wait no!"
As a smoker myself, I ONLY take a smoke break *if* there’s at least 1 other person working, we aren’t swamped with customers, and I get my coworker’s explicit consent. Even than that’s a maybe. People who take excess smoke breaks like that get on my nerves tbh. I understand the addiction and wanting to have a drag but at the same time, you’re at work and it isn’t fair to your coworkers who have to pick up your slack. Keep in mind, I smoke a lot unfortunately. Trying to cut back though!
I did the same as you when I worked and needed a cigarette I waited until it was my actual break and sucked down like two or three and then went back to work. It's not that hard and I too am a heavy smoker.
I hope that everyone is having a good Friday!
I thought it was Wednesday 😭
Thank you!
I didn't even know it was Friday lol

No u
I’m planning to someday try smoking non-tobacco herbs (I found a website on all kinds of herbs you an use. Mint, sandalwood, lemongrass etc) simply because there are some really gorgeous handmade tobacco pipes out there and one day I will purchase one just for the aesthetic of being able to sit on my porch and smoke out of a carved wooden pipe like Bilbo Baggins
I heard marijuana is a pretty good herb too.😂
Be careful though
I've tried a few kinds of herbal cigarettes (the non tobacco kind, not the get-you-baked kind) and used to be a smoker, the herbal ones are horrible in my experience and contain about as much tar as tobacco.
Tobacco ain't much better when you start in terms of taste and isn't really any worse for you aside from addiction. This isn't to recommend smoking tobacco, that's still a terrible idea but herbal ones are pretty much just as bad, just easier to quit.
Tldr as a former smoker who's tried both, I recommend trying neither.
My mom gets these big boxes of tobacco leaves and makes her own cigarettes and loves it :) she breathes a lot better than she did while smoking store bought ones too 🙏🏻
The smoke itself is still bad for you
Arkansan here- Can confirm that renters rights here are still abysmal.
In a lot of cases, it’s cheaper to buy a home and make a monthly house payment than to pay rent (at least in my city around 2019, not sure what it’s like now)
It’s still the same. I live in Bryant, and it is a bit better (not much).
Still the same.
That's crony conservatism for you.
"If I had a problem with that, they would have no issue speaking to the authorities." That's what they said. Guess what OP spoke the authorities. Now they're complaining why?. Well you told me that you would have a problem.
as a non-smoker I always thought it was unfair I had to 'keep working all the time" for presumably the same or worse wages, while smokers got to take frequent (up to hourly) 15 minute breaks to smoke- so I started taking "fresh air breaks" under the same guidelines as "smoke breaks" (all the same legal needs, hours worked, time permitted) and documented each and every one (something smokers didn't do) it always felt pretty nice. Managers always tried to pull the "were too busy for EVERYONE to take breaks" odd I never failed to do my duties, despite this "apparent workload"
My dad is a 30 year Ret Chief MSgt USAF. He never smoked, even though both his parents did. At his retirement party he stood up to give his speech (it should be noted my dad was Public Affairs, talking in front of groups was part of his job, and he was good at it) and proceeded to amuse the room. There were some very sheepish looks from longtime colleagues when he laid out the calculations of how many more months he'd worked than all the smokers. It was glorious.
rSlash has confirmed that he is a man of culture 👏
Your story, RSlash, is not about luck. It's basic human decency, you know, the thing most scummy landlords have none of. One day is nothing, I would gladly allow you to use it if this means a safe transition from one place to another. You were actually unlucky for having a scumbag of a landlord, but it makes sense of why you left your old place.
I'm a tenant too but I understand that it's not just a day. Let me explain, in my country lease usually end on 30 or 31 and we have to vacate by that dey or else we pay for another month. And our move in date is the 1st therefore if I'm lineup to move in but previous tenant doesn't move out then I can't move in which happen to me once before and the landlord have to put me up in a hotel for 2 days as per a lease agreement and reimburse me for extension of my storage fee's. So yeah it's not just a day. Oh and for rslash on your problem, I just rent a temporary storage unit and a day in a hotel. It's much easier than a day of hectic move and more economical than letting 2 lease overlapping for a month.
Move everything into the u-haul on the 15. Get a hotel and park the u-haul there. Check out the 16 and move in… voila! Not sure why you’d need to leave everything on the sidewalk?
I had a nice landlord that let me get my keys a day early. I was an amazing tenant and left the apartment in better condition when I left. They called me to let me know I cleaned like a professional and wanted to hire me. Lol I would've did it if I wasn't moving back to Hawaii with my husband. (Army)
@@gypsydust - That's basically what I did with my most recent move. The landlords for the old place were unwilling to budge even a single day, claiming they had someone wanting to move in. It's been three months and the house is still empty.
Apparently everybody can afford an U-Haul and an apartment.
"Why are you trying to ruin our lives?!"
The reason why you THOUGHT it was smart to rob half of what you owe me, *^_^* it just comes natural.

Lol when I was in the army I had a peer that would take 45 minute smoke breaks 5 times a day, leaving me with the entire work load… So I started to take “fresh air breaks” my NCO figured out what I was doing quickly and then figured out why… she then chewed that dudes ass for like 10 minutes
There's smoke breaks then there's this crap. Sounds like he abused his break time royally.
I had the same argument as the first story at my previous employer. Smokers were given 1 hour per day for smoke breaks. Non smokers nothing. 5 hours per week extra work for me. I didn't get anywhere with it
Should have "started smoking".
I mean, I don't get why you'd go out of your way to do more work than you're employer asks for. If they say work is 9 AM to 5 PM, I'm working 9 AM to 5 PM. Especially if they institute draconian policies there's no reason for me to put in any more effort than exactly what is required.
Exactly!
Hardest things to do on earth:

My husband worked a well-known department store in our city during his younger years. On Black Friday the store was calling out specials for shoppers every hour. He and a fellow employee were called to an area that was soon to call out male and female hankerchiefs and socks for $.50 per single packages. About an hour before store was due to close, they called out the special. My husband and his fellow worker were set up on a platform and he swears to this day that he and his fellow employee watched, stunned, as a wave of people behan rushing their direction. When the customers arrived, they had to start tossing hankerchiefs and socks out into the crowd to survive and nearly didn't once the 300 or so packages ran out. He said it was the only Black Friday he feared for his life, literally.
Your story about the gym reminded one of my own: when i tried to cancel my contract with a gym and they kept insisting with every call and e-mail that I need to sign some papers and I can only do that in one of their gyms (which were closed due to pandemic). Well let's see what CAN be done online... move all the money to another bank account before the payment day and back the day after (yhea I was loosing a few bucks on transfer fees but was still cheaper than their subscription). A got a call in 2 moths and the guy on the phone said something along the lines of: "If you do not pay the subscription in 2 weeks we will have to cancel your contract". My answer: "Gee Thanks!"
We got a new GM, who wanted to make his mark. He issued a notice that all leave above four accrued weeks must be taken or be forfeited. I directed him to my contract, which allows up to ten weeks of accrued annual leave, at which point you must either take the leave, or be paid in lieu - no forfeiture mentioned. He shut up on that one, and I made sure to keep my leave at about 8-9 weeks (taking a week every three months, as we get four weeks a year by law in Oz) for the remainder of my tenure, with a nice lump sum payout of leave when I left the company. Don't let them push you around.
I was a nonsmoker at one of my military units. Originally there was set times for smoke breaks and anyone could go. After a command change, they did away with set breaks and send take them when you need, but don't abuse it. I was at the smoking area talking with some friends that were smokers. The boss came by and said you don't smoke and you can't take smoke breaks. I looked him dead in the face and said I'm taking my second hand smoke break, I sit here and breath in their smoke. It's cheaper and more effective than smoking my own cigarettes. The boss thought about what I said, looked at me and said fair enough, I can't argue your logic and walked away. I was there another 18 months before transferring and he never brought it up again when he would see me outside.
After being stressfully woken up for a fire drill when I've only been asleep for 3-ish hours, this is a good way to wind down and relax lol
I work at a gym and i can say many people are getting screwed over by memberships and fees its crazy and while there ripping off customers they refuse to pay us above 7.25 a hour. I hate when people come to me and when asked about refunds all i can do is shrug my shoulders and apologize. I get yelled at non stop and people dont get its not my choice. I literally broke down crying cause if people taking there aggression on me and not my boss.
There was this older man I knew (he was my dad’s childhood friend) who kept the same packet of cigarets in his pocket for over 10 years so that he could just say “Can I leave for a smoke break?” while pulling out the old packet.Then he would go on a short walk
There's a saying in Spainish that says:
"The Devil knows better for being old that for being the Devil".
Good for him
Good morning or good nights guys! Didn't realize today's Friday xd
"I thought you said you'd have no issue talking to the authorities, so why does it sound you have an issue talking to the authorities?"
When my dad was in the Army (53-57) they'd say " smoke em' if you got em'" If you didn't smoke, you didn't get a break. So he started smoking. We lost him to COPD even after he quit smoking 25 years before he passed (71).
Depending on who says to read the damn contract it's either the best or most stupid advice they could give. So: make sure you read your contracts thoroughly.
I'm about to go to an anime convention and I get to start off this awesome day with Rslash. 😎 hope everyone else has an awesome day too!

Ah good, a new Rslash episode, now i can begin my morning routine
Like the smoking one, I was the sole non smoker working at Red Rooster (Australian fast food) and I was usually left alone in the kitchen during frequent and long smoke breaks staff took all together.
I said I wanted a Nintendo DS break and the store manager laughed saying I didn't need a break. I brought up the smoke breaks and she replied that smoking is different because it's addictive.
I printed out and brought in numerous studies stating that video games are addictive (I didn't actually read the studies, but neither did she so it was no biggy)
In the end I got my Nintendo DS break but everyone had their smoke breaks limited to 3 maximum per shift and 10 min each which didn't screw over the other staff working.
"SMOKER"
"SHOOT THE TONGUE, SHOOT THE TONGUE!"
The gym story reminds me of something that happened to me. I had to threaten to sue them to get them to stop trying to charge me. I am transgender, and after about 3 months into a two year contract they told me I wasn't allowed access to their facilities. They told me they have policies against transgender people using their pools, locker rooms, and a list of other things that were included in the contract. Of course this policy against transgender people wasn't listed anywhere on any website, contract, or anything, and discrimination in itself isn't legal. They refused to let me cancel it and tried to make me pay out the entire contract, even though they were the ones who broke the contract by not allowing me access the facilities I was paying for. I canceled the debit card associated with the contract so they couldn't take my money, and every time I got a phone call, I'd tell them the same thing. I will not pay to terminate a contract when I was not the one who broke the contract. After 3 years, including a year of them trying to charge me even after the contract expired, I finally got tired of it. I told them that if the contract wasn't cancelled, with all charges dropped, I'd be calling a lawyer for discrimination against transgender people as soon as we got off the phone. I ended up getting forwarded to the vice president of the company who apologized and had all charges canceled. I'll never use Genesis Health Clubs again, and I almost wish I had sued them anyway.
I just remembered a malicious compliance story that happened to me when I was younger. I worked at a popular fast food place and we used to work overtime when ever we wanted the money was really nice. One day i guess the higher ups complained about the amount of overtime they were paying. Everyone who worked there up to that point got along really well and work was fun. Then instead of just having a staff meeting to address the overtime issues in a respectful and civil way the supervisor began treating us like children scolding us for the things we normally did that was never an issue and one bitchy supervisor.said nobody is to work any overtime ever. One busy day I think we were short staffed or someone was late or something and ended up not clocking out on time and I was berated for it. I decided I was not going to go through that again. I knew it would come back to bite them eventually. I never asked to work overtime again and I was contented 😌. One weekend I worked the morning shift and a few of night shift staff called in for various reasons saying they weren't coming in. The night was shaping up to be a busy one. My shift was ending and the bitchy supervisor was on the short staffed night shift. She came to me while i was doing my shift change duties to ask if I would work a double shift I said na I'm good. She got other people to work double shifts and it was just going to be my station to fill. She said don't you want some extra money I looked at her and said na I don't like money much and left. She eneded up doing her supervisor duties plus working as the back up on my station lol her night was very busy 🤣🤣🤣
I think r/slash should make videos about his own stories I think he might have some and it would be entertaining
He has included some in the past mixed in with other stories.
Good afternoon all!
15:25: "...Again?"
Paying 12 months rent up front for an apartment you only intend on renting for a short amount of time might be the dumbest thing I’ve heard in a long time, all for the gain of not wanting to write the cheque out each month. He could have just written down 12 cheques at the start and sent them off each month and avoided the hassle.
I cut straws in half and colored the tips red. I had fake smoke breaks. 🤣🤣🤣

The title is at 6:21
I had a weird gap between leases once and I had to pay someone in the neighborhood to keep my stuff stacked in their living room overnight 😂
I worked in an office where everyone was 9 to 5. Except one guy who left at 3:30 because "I start at 7:30". I happened to be in early one day around 8:15, who shows up at around 8:45 while was in the loo. Gets his papers and books out (pre computer age) and when I come back from the loo, he is busy working. I said hello and made a big show of rummaging through my stuff on my desk indicating I now knew about his getting in early bullshit. Nothing was ever said but from that day on he stuck around in the office to 4:30 because " they cancelled my early train home, bloody cuts!".
Rslash you actually got lucky with your landlords. I have literally done the "load the uhaul from 10pm to 12am, move in from 12am to 2am" dance twice. Both times eventually learning nobody was moving in or out of the affected apartments in that time frame. Landlords are just douches by nature.
For the last story: In some Nordic countries, you get an hour off of work for "exercise/physical enrichment" once a week. There's a very strict rule what kind of exercise it involves, but just taking a full walk all the way home counts. (for example: walking/running/bicycling counts, but e-sports or some other "not moving at all" sport activity doesn't). This also means you can get off work early if you actually do the activity (mostly walks for me). I have been super happy about this opportunity, since I can just leave early on e.g. a Friday afternoon and just take a stress-free walk to my apartment. YAY!
Moving timing problems: you talk with the one leaving your destination and the folks moving in in your flat, and buy a day, a week, what you like. It's not hard all wants some time to move.
R/ 's move conundrum was strange. During a few moves I've been in that position, but the landlords of the places I would move to would always let me prorate for a few extra days ahead of the lease so I'd have time to move and also clean my previous residence. It is not like this kind of situation is unusual, and why wouldn't they be fine with a few more days of rent paid? There is no way that the new apartment would be move-in ready the day after it was vacated anyway. It had to be empty and ready to occupy.
I had a boss that didn't pay into my my Social Security one year. Or anybody else's (small place). We only accidently found out when an older woman who was thinking of retiring checked her SS, and it hadn't been payed into. We were all afraid, but since it had been taken out of our checks, she owed them big bucks. I hate scummy bosses.
That story you told Rslash, my first thought was, "Why not rent a U-Haul or something just for that night?" The situation was definitely sucky though.

12:10 I used to work in an office with a standard 7 1/2 hour day. Managers had a considerably higher salary than the rest of us because they were expected to work reasonable additional hours. Not my manager. In the door on the dot of 9am, half an hour for lunch, and he was out the door by 5pm every day. And usually at least another half an hour a day just chatting.
That "being on time" nagging has been around forever. Several times a boss (often a new one) has made it crystal clear to us workers that working starts then and then - not later. Lunch was 40 minutes - not one hour etc. Off course its important to be on time every morning and come in after lunch on time, right? Well, then its just as important to leave on time, exactly as the redditpost states. And every time they pressured us about punctuality the reaction became just that. Only that in my line of work there are many an afternoon when tasks emerge minutes before one is finished with the day. And there are many a lunch during a year that have to be cut short to satisfy customer demand, thereby securing all our jobs. So it pays for the company that everybody work 15-20 minutes extra some days. Everybody but the bosses off course. They were often out the door an hour early, to play golf, and regularly took over an hour lunch, while the folks on the floor did the labor. It adds up too. I must have worked a thousand hours for free over 35 years. All this on top of regular overtime which I got paid for. So this flexiblity made us expect the same in return. When denied that flexibility just because management liked to flex their authority, it backfired time and time again. After a short while the same "strict" bosses started asking politely if we could go "back" to the same culture of flexiblity and take those extra loads even if we were technically off the clock? Off course, sir/madam, was always the answer. But we were adament that the principle had to go both ways. Not surprisingly, they agreed.
6:24, for that story you can get THE MINISTRY OF LABOR involved meaning you could potentially SHUT DOWN THAT ENTIRE CONPANY.
In the words of Ryan Hamilton "If someone demands you to write a letter in this day and age, they are bullying you"
Woot woot morning!
I saw a meme with the picture of the baby Yoda that has the perfect response to this power tripping manager. It goes like this:
Manager: You're late!
Me: "I can turn around and go home if that's a problem."
When someone tells you to read your contract, do it! - no, always read your contract whether someone asks you or not.
"Report me!"
"Okay"
"Wait what?"
5-10 breaks a day?!?! What's that a cigarette every hour?? Or do they mean everyone all together, added up, it's 5-10 breaks a day? I'm lucky if I can even get a cig on my 20 minute break. It's either eat or have a cigarette so I have to make a wise decision every time. Well it's simple for me. If I'm hungry, eat. If I'm not hungry go outside for a cig. 😂 I work part time so my breaks are 20 minutes for every 4 hour shift.
Ok well now that's over lmao I have to say your mic setup is nice. It sounds really good. This one is perfect.
These people should really learn the old adage "Be careful what you wish for."
14:18 If paid hourly it kinda makes sense some of the time, but engineers such as these are salaried... The only thing that matters is their output and how they function with the rest of the company.
My father owns a company that consists of only engineers(hardware development). They're typically always on the job from 9-3(more commonly 8-4or5), but it's not an ironclad rule. It just makes it easier to work together that way. Aside from that people work the amount necessary to get the work done and bonuses are handed out based on work completed.
Hi everyone :D hope you're having a great Friday !
Me: "rSlash has been pretty good about his content lately, I can try listening to him at work agai-"

It made me unnecessarily happy to hear Rslash mention Hunter x Hunter
One thing I love about working in construction is my boss doesn't care when I start or finish in the day so long as I put down the proper hours on my time sheet every week.
I love that you put your ad at the end! Thank you so much! Great content.
