Sounds like you've never worked in a factory; that's kind of what the environments like. Most folks are quite tired. The best way to get through 12 hour shifts is for folks to interact like they're all friends. If two people start drama, it tends to drag the whole team down.
If someone else’s alarm wales you up: be a good friend and make sure they get up. Walk in their room, flip on the lights and start shaking them. Make sure to NOT leave until they get up out of bed.
I noticed that the roommate was the boyfriends co-worker so presumably some degree of friendship yet no mention of the boyfriend talking to the roommate.
My brother did the early, loud alarm once. He had to get up really early for work and set it for 4am in the morning. I was still in school so didn’t have to wake up that early when I nearly fell out of bed to his loud alarm. He was still asleep in his locked room and I couldn’t hear my own knocking on his door over his alarm after waiting 10 minutes to see if he'd wake up to turn it off, and somehow my parents across the hall were also still sleeping. I went back to my room, put on my boots and went back to start kicking his door as hard as I could. He fell out of bed from the scare I gave him but woke up to turn his alarm off. That was the last time he ever used it. Our parents never heard a thing that morning either, though I'm not sure how.
I assumed the dad hung up when *he finished talking* not when he assumed the other person did. I’d have stopped calling back after the 3rd hangup. 6 is too generous, ESPECIALLY if this is a habit
after the second time, i'd send a text with the information and call it done. honestly, if it was a habit and my dad did this, i'd never call. texts and emails only. that is some bullshit behavior.
Story 3: It's rude to suddenly disconnect a phone call. Like, he definitely has zero consideration for other people's feeling about being suddenly cut off. Imagine if he did that with in-person conversations
Just a thought: I'm wondering if the father is on a spectrum. Not only is he weird on the phone but the son is managing dad's utility bills. Makes me wonder...
People who refuse to even attempt effective communications are always hugely inconsiderate in my experience. They might not act like raging assholes every second of every day, but it takes a fundamental lack of empathy to routinely make basic conversations a chore and not do anything about it. God help you if you need to tackle a real issue with them. Absolutely hate those types.
@@wickiwo1098that wouldn't give him an excuse though. his son has told him repeatedly how upset it makes him and the dad hasnt tried to change his behaviour at all. the fact that calling him 6 times isnt enough to signify importance is insane and shows a complete lack of respect or concern for his kid

I mean it really depends on the relationship. I had a coworker that was super close we were basically siblings 😂 she would come to me when she had woman issues (some I even didn't need to know) and I'd vent to her if I was having a hard time. Well one day I went into work and was pulled into HR and was fired for being "inappropriate with a coworker" and I asked them what they meant and they said that my friend had claimed she ran into me and her BF (who also worked there) "passionately hugging" in the freezer. Mind you I am not one to cheat nor ask someone to cheat. Long story short me and her BF got fired and I called her up and asked her "why?" Why would she lie, why would she try to get me fired. It was a couple weeks before I got my answer. Because I was in line for a promotion at work, and her BF was caught cheating on their home camera so she figured she could get rid of me and get the promotion and get back at her scummy BF. So yeah I can see someone getting close just to backstab you later.

The best one was when my Dad and I were visiting. When we were leaving we were stood outside and Grandma in the doorway. We were chatting a bit and I said: "Oh by the way..."

Phone story: why isn’t he paying his own bills? If someone hung up on me like that I wouldn’t be responsible for paying for my parents’ stuff. And he called back shouting? Nope. You’re responsible for your own bills. Relying on your kids to fund your retirement is disgusting. Boy, bye.
My fiance is in a similar situation with his dad; he's set up my FIL's account so that it pays the bills because he doesn't know how to do it himself. My fiance helps him become his dad has Alzheimer's, and he said that he will disappear and go into hiding if he thinks anyone tries to put him in assisted living. Maybe OP's situation is similar?
story 1: i cannot for the live of me understand when a company get's a golden goose, who does extra work for same pay, suddenly quits because of how poorly goose get's treated
that story where the girl told her coworker about the cucumber, um....why would you tell ANY coworker that? even IF they told wild stories, some things should just be kept private, especially at work...with that, you're just ASKING for trouble
a wild story to share with coworkers is that time your car broke down by a field and a crazy lady with a rake charged at your car screaming and you thought you were going to die, only for the crazy lady to reveal that she thought that you were her daughter and was playing a prank. not anything to do with personal time.
Congratulations 🎊! You should try to get some pet safe paint to do a paw pressing of Maven's, you could turn it into art or a tattoo but either way, you'll always have a piece of them ❤
That wont affect a mobile phone alarm, which is likely what it was from. Also, not always possible to flip the breaker without it effecting yourself in many places since the one breaker could be controlling two or more rooms.
Even though this'll probably be the only time you ever say that phrase. I hope that you make some merch with the phrase "When you live in a glass house, don't throw cucumbers"
Reading the comments and responding with a thought I had to those: but people tell me the weirdest shit ALL THE TIME, and I don't know if it's just my personality that makes them feel safe or what but sometimes I am just flabbergasted and have to be like "you know... I didn't need to know that." 🤣
Cucumber Story - OP sounds like a nightmare employee. Sharing intimate stories at work is an HR violation waiting to happen. Quitting, getting rehired and then quitting again is incredivly rude and unprofessional although I shouldnt be surprised that she is unprofessional. At least she's good at creative writing cause this is fake.
S4: Dude.. I used to do that then found the MAGICAL solution Sleep on the damn time. That time is different for everyone and WILL be at 7PM for some, but the closer you get to it and meeting your sleep requirements the less likely you’ll ever oversleep, And you won’t even need an alarm clock to wake up on time. Granted, I did realize I sleep for 6 hours and anymore and my body WILL punt me for it.. Am thankful my body doesn’t want much more.
I wish that worked for me 😭😭 I have insomnia and sleep apnea, so it's always something with me. I'm always accidentally napping and throwing off my schedule or trying to sleep on time and then rolling around for hours just awake or sleeping the perfect amount for once just to have such bad sleep apnea that I'm more tired than I was when I went to sleep 😭😭 so frustrating
I tend to also have an alarm that repeats frequently (though not as early), I don't understand being upset about being woken up if you have an alarm set to earlier than the time you've been woken up, have work on weekdays so need to get up at that time but want to sleep in on weekends? set the alarm so it doesn't go off on weekends as I sort of do (I have alarm on weekends too, but it happens later in the morning and is much less frequent). Like really, why do you have it if you don't want to be woken up at that time?
🎵 This looks like a job for me, So everybody, just follow me We need a little controversy But it feels so empty without me OP became his own main character
Overhead bin story - That douche wouldnt have been able to get his bag without the ticket unless he was able to describe everything within the bag to be his own items, or he had put something that ID'd himself in it if it didnt end up on a carousel. Specially when some airlines do actually charge for such luggage, meaning that OP should have left the baggage check ticket in the overhead bin once they retrieved their briefcase, then the douche would have had to go and pay to retrieve it.
Wait wait wait, 4-7 am READING in the lobby??? How is reading sleep disturbing? I'd think opening and closing the door once would be enough to wake a light sleeper as those fuckers are loud. If it's about the light I'd think of a better solution than leaving the entire room you paid for. WTF.
He should have rang the Front Desk and then moved rooms that day. Why are hotel doors so bloody loud? I’m always shutting mine quietly because I can’t tolerate the slamming door!
He was probably too irritated or angry to go back to sleep, or just too wide awake. Didn't want to disturb his wife, so he just removed himself from the situation. Plus, it's his vacation. Better to read in a nice lobby than to lay in bed awake, doing nothing
One of my fears is that I am the horrible roommate with the alarm at early hours waking up my roommate (to be clear my roomie and I have discussed this and he can't hear my alarm). To think that some people are that awful semi-on purpose without caring is insane to me actually.
About any indian men. (I'd bet money on him being indian) Social norm in india is: Men goes to work and brings home the money, women takes care of the house and family in any way required. And any women MUST do whatever her husband, or father if unmarried, requests. In india a women is nothing but a sex toy, house keeper, child incubator and baby sitter, and doesn't deserve to be respected. Even mothers don't respect themselves or their daughters, teaching their daughters to not complain about being raped, while raising her sons to be rapists...

Cucumber story: OP sounds like a trash human and a nightmare employee/coworker. She tells who she claims isn’t close to her about her sex habits. Lady, that is called sexual harassment. If a man was in her position, not only would he be fired immediately, but his work life in that field would be ruined. Not only that but she quits, gets rehired, then quits again forcing the company to go through all of these hoops and her coworkers to work with a short staff again. That’s not cool. She’s sounds entitled.
I used to work security and later manage a hotel. Had OP called the front desk about the noisy party girls, they would have been warned and possibly kicked out upon subsequent complaints, usually without refunds.
15:45 Yeah… I don’t think it’s a good idea to check a bag that isn’t yours and that you don’t know it’s content. That could’ve gone horribly wrong for OPs dad. Be careful not to screw yourself over while being petty. He could’ve just told the flight attendant about it and she would’ve given the AH his bag to put somewhere else, or check as cargo himself.
How? If it's a bomb, it would be even worse having it right over your head. If it's full of contraband, just don't claim it as yours. Plus this was the 80s. No TSA to worry about

@@heckinggi6034 nope… sometimes security will flag a bag and allow it to go to its destination to either arrest them in that other county, or to figure out who it really belongs to (the bigger fish)… either way, who’s carrying the bag would get arrested.
Story 3 OPs dad is just RUDE, OP is paying his dads bills and his dad can’t stay on the phone and be polite for one minute? He just sounds insufferable, I’d honestly stop paying his bills full stop.
I used to do that in my younger days. I would NOT get up on the first alarm. I'd turn that shit off and go back to sleep. The second alarm would actually wake me up and I could get out of bed. So if I had to be up by six, I'd set one alarm for 5 and another for 6. Now I don't even need an alarm unless I need to get up at a weird time.
For days I go in at 7:30 I set an alarm for 5:30 and another for 6:00. I spent years working in factories producing equipment for the oilfield (natural gas compressors, LACT units, Water Disposal units, Separators, ect.). For over a Decade I had to be to work at between 5 and 6:00 AM depending on if we were work 10's or 12's, sometimes 7 days a weeks for weeks straight to meet deadlines. On the days I go out of town, I have an alarm set for 4:30 and a second for 5:00 AM. Before that I worked in the oilfield roustabouting and pipelining, and had to be at work at 6:00 AM. Prior to that I worked in law enforcement where I worked mornings (0600-1400) evenings (1400-2200) and graves (2200-0600). We rotated every three months in law enforcement, plus on call so we could be called out at a moments notice to back/assist/or respond to calls for the SRT team (I was young and single so I volunteered for the SRT team). I write all this because after years of working odd hours at the PD, working early morning shifts in the oilfield and even working graveyards, I have a messed up sleep schedule. Most nights I get 7 hours of sleep or less (even when the wife wants adult fun time). The two alarms help me get up. My body is wore out after years of physical labor and stress (oilfield and law enforcement each bring their own stress and physical stuff, just more in the oilfield in the physical department). I currently work in a warehouse for a national brand who does window and door replacements with two sub warehouses under me that I have to deliver to. One trip is 4 hours one way, and the other is only 2.5 hours one way. But even this takes a toll on your body. Unload a semi from corporate, load for your delivery the next day. Then we have trim (lots of pine and oak), drive to the sub warehouse, unload, do inventory, pick up special orders, drive home. Now with two of us the time spent unloading has been cut in half, but it still takes a toll on an already beat up body. So I understand the two alarms. My wife gets up at 5:20 to go to work, even on my days off. Her alarm goes off and she can climb out of bed. But again years of living on little sleep, plus doing a physically and mentally exhausting job have worn me down to practically nothing.
So let me get this straight you are close enough friends to tell each other intimate details of your lives and extracurricular activities but you're not close enough to say hi or even give a wave of greeting?

Omg, a little while ago you read a story about a womans sister who announced she was pregnant and made her own husband throw up and cry in the shower and there wasn't an update at the time. Idk if you've read the update since in the last month because I have been moving and haven't been able to listen to your podcasts in a little while but I just saw the update on tiktok and it's bad. I definitely wasn't expecting that update.
I hate people that hang up on you like that. You gotta have a HUGE ego to be that rude and selfish. OP's Dad is a complete narcissist, why is she even paying his bills in the first place? Get outta that toxic situation. What OP should have done is hang up on him to show him what it feels like. Otherwise the self entitled prick may never figure it out.
It depends on the kid. Some of them sleep much longer at night by that age and need fewer naps. Others might like to nap all the way until like 9 or 10 years old! And some kids just need less sleep than others. 🤷♀️🤷♀️
To be fair, some people have a hard time waking up. I combat this by setting 3 alarms 30 minutes apart and turn each off as they sound. The roommate is doing it wrong because if you let your alarm go off constantly you can get used to it and it stops working.
ngl, with the morning alarm at this point I'd just fucking flick the breaker to his room. If you can't put your alarm softer when being asked I'll put it softer for you next to no power to your room
Ok, so an alarm goes off, and you get out of bed, and that screws over your roommate....how? Wtf would he care that youre out of bed? Op is a legend in her own mind lmao
She makes a ton of noise so he can't go back to sleep in between the alarms. She is trying to get him to either set one closer to waking up or use a quieter one so they can both sleep

The best one was when my Dad and I were visiting. When we were leaving we were stood outside and Grandma in the doorway. We were chatting a bit and I said: "Oh by the way..." And I almost got the door in my face! She thought I was just saying Bye, and closed the door. It was all good, Dad and I laughed all the way home. Grandma did also, but later. I miss those two, they were hilarious together. 💙
For the annoying roommate. May I suggest those random noise toys from Japan? That go off randomly. Hide em in his room.
Phone story: why isn’t he paying his own bills? If someone hung up on me like that I wouldn’t be responsible for paying for my parents’ stuff. And he called back shouting? Nope. You’re responsible for your own bills. Relying on your kids to fund your retirement is disgusting. Boy, bye.
My fiance is in a similar situation with his dad; he's set up my FIL's account so that it pays the bills because he doesn't know how to do it himself. My fiance helps him become his dad has Alzheimer's, and he said that he will disappear and go into hiding if he thinks anyone tries to put him in assisted living.
Maybe OP's situation is similar?
" _When you live in a glass house, don't throw cucumbers_ " Words to live by.
story 1: i cannot for the live of me understand when a company get's a golden goose, who does extra work for same pay, suddenly quits because of how poorly goose get's treated
that story where the girl told her coworker about the cucumber, um....why would you tell ANY coworker that? even IF they told wild stories, some things should just be kept private, especially at work...with that, you're just ASKING for trouble
a wild story to share with coworkers is that time your car broke down by a field and a crazy lady with a rake charged at your car screaming and you thought you were going to die, only for the crazy lady to reveal that she thought that you were her daughter and was playing a prank. not anything to do with personal time.
"Can you give us the passwords your idiot boss left on vacation without telling us?"
"Sure. For $10,000."

I’m picking up my rescue today!! My first dog! It’s been a rough life but Maven is gunna help me through it! Woo! ❤
Yay! Congratulations 🎊 😊 You're gonna be a great parent and Maven is going to be a great fur baby... I'm so glad you've got each other ❤❤❤
Congratulations 🎊! You should try to get some pet safe paint to do a paw pressing of Maven's, you could turn it into art or a tattoo but either way, you'll always have a piece of them ❤
@@SteviiLove Air set clay or whatever it is. Would look great next to a picture
LEZFUGINGOOOOOOOO
Congratulations!!!!
Story 4: OP has more patience than me; I'd have flipped the breaker each night after he goes to sleep so that the alarm doesn't go off.
That wont affect a mobile phone alarm, which is likely what it was from. Also, not always possible to flip the breaker without it effecting yourself in many places since the one breaker could be controlling two or more rooms.
@@Ryanthusar Ah, I didn't think about mobile alarms... that's a good point.
Even though this'll probably be the only time you ever say that phrase. I hope that you make some merch with the phrase "When you live in a glass house, don't throw cucumbers"
Never tell a coworker about your personal life. I'm sorry but coworkers are not your friends, especially when it comes to super personal stuff.
"I passionately hugged a cucumber " is a fantastic rslash line
No kink shaming, BUT, it's rather tacky to discuss it on the job. It will not end well. No "Happy Ending" here.
Reading the comments and responding with a thought I had to those: but people tell me the weirdest shit ALL THE TIME, and I don't know if it's just my personality that makes them feel safe or what but sometimes I am just flabbergasted and have to be like "you know... I didn't need to know that." 🤣
Even RANDOM STRANGERS ANYWHERE NOT EVEN JUST COWORKERS.
Cucumber Story - OP sounds like a nightmare employee. Sharing intimate stories at work is an HR violation waiting to happen. Quitting, getting rehired and then quitting again is incredivly rude and unprofessional although I shouldnt be surprised that she is unprofessional.
At least she's good at creative writing cause this is fake.
No it ain’t
I use multiple alarms to wake up cause I’m a very deep sleeper. As such, I’ve got sound insulation in my room so it only wakes me up!
S4:
Dude.. I used to do that then found the MAGICAL solution
Sleep on the damn time. That time is different for everyone and WILL be at 7PM for some, but the closer you get to it and meeting your sleep requirements the less likely you’ll ever oversleep,
And you won’t even need an alarm clock to wake up on time.
Granted, I did realize I sleep for 6 hours and anymore and my body WILL punt me for it.. Am thankful my body doesn’t want much more.
I wish that worked for me 😭😭 I have insomnia and sleep apnea, so it's always something with me. I'm always accidentally napping and throwing off my schedule or trying to sleep on time and then rolling around for hours just awake or sleeping the perfect amount for once just to have such bad sleep apnea that I'm more tired than I was when I went to sleep 😭😭 so frustrating
I tend to also have an alarm that repeats frequently (though not as early), I don't understand being upset about being woken up if you have an alarm set to earlier than the time you've been woken up, have work on weekdays so need to get up at that time but want to sleep in on weekends? set the alarm so it doesn't go off on weekends as I sort of do (I have alarm on weekends too, but it happens later in the morning and is much less frequent). Like really, why do you have it if you don't want to be woken up at that time?
For those wondering: Yes, Bar Harbor is the real life version of Far Harbor from the Fallout 4 DLC.
🎵 This looks like a job for me,
So everybody, just follow me
We need a little controversy
But it feels so empty without me
OP became his own main character
Dad: **Disconnects the call for the 6th time**
OP: **Doesn't pay for the electricity bill**
Also Dad: "where electricity"
unshocked pikachu face :P
Dad should be paying his own bills anyway.
Yes, and? Thanks for summing up the story in an unintelligent way?
*Everywhere I go, I see his face.*
@@Richard_Nickerson Oh, sorry. Guess I should just not comment because you said so? B*tch please.
They weren't close enough for her to say hi, but definitely close enough for her to talk romancing a cucumber? OK
Overhead bin story - That douche wouldnt have been able to get his bag without the ticket unless he was able to describe everything within the bag to be his own items, or he had put something that ID'd himself in it if it didnt end up on a carousel. Specially when some airlines do actually charge for such luggage, meaning that OP should have left the baggage check ticket in the overhead bin once they retrieved their briefcase, then the douche would have had to go and pay to retrieve it.
Wait wait wait, 4-7 am READING in the lobby??? How is reading sleep disturbing? I'd think opening and closing the door once would be enough to wake a light sleeper as those fuckers are loud. If it's about the light I'd think of a better solution than leaving the entire room you paid for. WTF.
He should have rang the Front Desk and then moved rooms that day. Why are hotel doors so bloody loud? I’m always shutting mine quietly because I can’t tolerate the slamming door!
He was probably too irritated or angry to go back to sleep, or just too wide awake. Didn't want to disturb his wife, so he just removed himself from the situation. Plus, it's his vacation. Better to read in a nice lobby than to lay in bed awake, doing nothing
“When you live in a glass house, don’t throw cucumbers.”
-Sun Tzu (probably)
In story 1, tbh, when OP left, standard operating procedure should have dictated changing all their passwords and disabling accounts to anyways
One of my fears is that I am the horrible roommate with the alarm at early hours waking up my roommate (to be clear my roomie and I have discussed this and he can't hear my alarm). To think that some people are that awful semi-on purpose without caring is insane to me actually.
Story 3 what grown ass man. Won't pay his own bills, and blame his daughter for the consequences of his actions. Smh
About any indian men. (I'd bet money on him being indian)
Social norm in india is: Men goes to work and brings home the money, women takes care of the house and family in any way required. And any women MUST do whatever her husband, or father if unmarried, requests.
In india a women is nothing but a sex toy, house keeper, child incubator and baby sitter, and doesn't deserve to be respected.
Even mothers don't respect themselves or their daughters, teaching their daughters to not complain about being raped, while raising her sons to be rapists...
The fifth story got me to go to reddit for the first time in months just to check if there's a rule against not having fallout in the story.
These are amazing since it’s only words and no real watchable (as in needed to be watched actively) stuff, I do dishes so these are awesome when I’m doing them
"Bad Boss": is the reason why labor unions exist.
Cucumber story: OP sounds like a trash human and a nightmare employee/coworker. She tells who she claims isn’t close to her about her sex habits. Lady, that is called sexual harassment. If a man was in her position, not only would he be fired immediately, but his work life in that field would be ruined. Not only that but she quits, gets rehired, then quits again forcing the company to go through all of these hoops and her coworkers to work with a short staff again. That’s not cool. She’s sounds entitled.
I used to work security and later manage a hotel. Had OP called the front desk about the noisy party girls, they would have been warned and possibly kicked out upon subsequent complaints, usually without refunds.
Bar Harbor Maine is a beautiful area! If you haven't gone before, don't let the last story scare you!
15:45 Yeah… I don’t think it’s a good idea to check a bag that isn’t yours and that you don’t know it’s content. That could’ve gone horribly wrong for OPs dad. Be careful not to screw yourself over while being petty. He could’ve just told the flight attendant about it and she would’ve given the AH his bag to put somewhere else, or check as cargo himself.
How? If it's a bomb, it would be even worse having it right over your head. If it's full of contraband, just don't claim it as yours. Plus this was the 80s. No TSA to worry about
If it passed through security, I'd think it should be fine.
@heckinggi6034 besides dangerous stuff. It could have had medical equipment or like epipen.
@@thebaregentleman2570 The asshole shouldn't be putting that stuff in an overhead bin on the opposite end of the plane from his seat. Keep that stuff on you
@@heckinggi6034 nope… sometimes security will flag a bag and allow it to go to its destination to either arrest them in that other county, or to figure out who it really belongs to (the bigger fish)… either way, who’s carrying the bag would get arrested.
I've been to Acadia National Park in Maine once before, and hearing rSlash call it Arcadia immediately caught my attention lmao
Story 3 OPs dad is just RUDE, OP is paying his dads bills and his dad can’t stay on the phone and be polite for one minute? He just sounds insufferable, I’d honestly stop paying his bills full stop.
That last story is not going where I thought it was going to go loud very passionate hugging.
Why is he setting an alarm for 5am if he doesn’t need to wake up till 6??!
I used to do that in my younger days. I would NOT get up on the first alarm. I'd turn that shit off and go back to sleep. The second alarm would actually wake me up and I could get out of bed. So if I had to be up by six, I'd set one alarm for 5 and another for 6.
Now I don't even need an alarm unless I need to get up at a weird time.
@@wingracer1614
That's terrible practice for your brain and sleep pattern
For days I go in at 7:30 I set an alarm for 5:30 and another for 6:00. I spent years working in factories producing equipment for the oilfield (natural gas compressors, LACT units, Water Disposal units, Separators, ect.). For over a Decade I had to be to work at between 5 and 6:00 AM depending on if we were work 10's or 12's, sometimes 7 days a weeks for weeks straight to meet deadlines.
On the days I go out of town, I have an alarm set for 4:30 and a second for 5:00 AM. Before that I worked in the oilfield roustabouting and pipelining, and had to be at work at 6:00 AM. Prior to that I worked in law enforcement where I worked mornings (0600-1400) evenings (1400-2200) and graves (2200-0600). We rotated every three months in law enforcement, plus on call so we could be called out at a moments notice to back/assist/or respond to calls for the SRT team (I was young and single so I volunteered for the SRT team).
I write all this because after years of working odd hours at the PD, working early morning shifts in the oilfield and even working graveyards, I have a messed up sleep schedule. Most nights I get 7 hours of sleep or less (even when the wife wants adult fun time). The two alarms help me get up. My body is wore out after years of physical labor and stress (oilfield and law enforcement each bring their own stress and physical stuff, just more in the oilfield in the physical department). I currently work in a warehouse for a national brand who does window and door replacements with two sub warehouses under me that I have to deliver to. One trip is 4 hours one way, and the other is only 2.5 hours one way. But even this takes a toll on your body. Unload a semi from corporate, load for your delivery the next day. Then we have trim (lots of pine and oak), drive to the sub warehouse, unload, do inventory, pick up special orders, drive home. Now with two of us the time spent unloading has been cut in half, but it still takes a toll on an already beat up body. So I understand the two alarms. My wife gets up at 5:20 to go to work, even on my days off. Her alarm goes off and she can climb out of bed. But again years of living on little sleep, plus doing a physically and mentally exhausting job have worn me down to practically nothing.
@@Richard_Nickerson Maybe but like I said, I haven't had to do that in many, many years so it must not have been too bad.
Many people with certain sleep disorders have to do that
I’m up to date with all R/slash video this guy helped me go through my graveyard shifts I even go back to listen older or same videos ❤
You must be some kind of monster in human skin to make fun of someone being in a car accident. 😡 That manager is an AH.
Literally!!
So let me get this straight you are close enough friends to tell each other intimate details of your lives and extracurricular activities but you're not close enough to say hi or even give a wave of greeting?
OP when that alarm goes off open his door and turn on his light.
I had a job at a place call 1 potato 2, the manager took a cucumber in the back office then came out wearing something else then proceed with cutting the cucumber up and had me serve it to people as a sample...
A 2,5 week trip to Hong Kong wasted? Depending on how much money is lost canceling it, it might even be pro level.
5:28 who would brag about it?
It's always the new managers.
Omg, a little while ago you read a story about a womans sister who announced she was pregnant and made her own husband throw up and cry in the shower and there wasn't an update at the time. Idk if you've read the update since in the last month because I have been moving and haven't been able to listen to your podcasts in a little while but I just saw the update on tiktok and it's bad. I definitely wasn't expecting that update.
I love the guy on the plane who checked the other guy's luggage but didn't give him the ticket.
my jaw dropped when we found out the toddler sleeps until 930-10 on her own. you would NEVER hear the end of it from me if you woke that kid up!!!!
I hate people that hang up on you like that. You gotta have a HUGE ego to be that rude and selfish. OP's Dad is a complete narcissist, why is she even paying his bills in the first place? Get outta that toxic situation. What OP should have done is hang up on him to show him what it feels like. Otherwise the self entitled prick may never figure it out.
OP on the first story, you can’t leave us hanging. Is your son okay?
The phone story was hilarious, he got some gall
Take a shot everytime rSlash says douchebag this episode.
It's funny to see the comments unanimous agree that one of the stories OP is trash.
Wait!! How o yet a toddler to sleep past 6am? We had 4 and they all got up by 6:30
It depends on the kid. Some of them sleep much longer at night by that age and need fewer naps. Others might like to nap all the way until like 9 or 10 years old! And some kids just need less sleep than others. 🤷♀️🤷♀️
@@NettylSpryngs but not even one of our 4 did. So unfair.
Morning alarm story. I hate to be the bad guy, but you do Liv worth roommate's that something you have to deal with when you have roommates bud
14:20 Huh that's the first time that I find Fallout 4's Far Harbor's setting inspiration in the wild
Who tf lets an alarm go off for half an hour straight!?
I hate those kind of people.
To be fair, some people have a hard time waking up. I combat this by setting 3 alarms 30 minutes apart and turn each off as they sound.
The roommate is doing it wrong because if you let your alarm go off constantly you can get used to it and it stops working.
Welp, Story 1 proves who's really running things. Things collapsed once OP left and rightfully so.
wow so many toxic people in the world, thanks rslash for always pointing them out lol
First story: The OP is so awesome! We all should bow down before his feet! He wrote his story as if the Earth wouldn't spin without his input.
People being shitty coworkers just confuses me. I mean, you have to work with these people... why not be decent?
ngl, with the morning alarm at this point I'd just fucking flick the breaker to his room.
If you can't put your alarm softer when being asked I'll put it softer for you next to no power to your room
Ok, so an alarm goes off, and you get out of bed, and that screws over your roommate....how? Wtf would he care that youre out of bed? Op is a legend in her own mind lmao
She makes a ton of noise so he can't go back to sleep in between the alarms. She is trying to get him to either set one closer to waking up or use a quieter one so they can both sleep
14:26 do you see an R in there?

I can't imagine someone setting their extra loud alarm for 5.30 in my house on a weekend and that person still being here the next day.

The first story seemed to be too good to be true. OP had only great things happen to him/her

Isn't causing someone to lose their job the definition of pro revenge?
What kind a freak has roommates at the age of 35?
Lady said it was her house. She was probably either a) trying to help out her husband's buddy or b) put a little extra money away with roommates rent. Nothing wrong with either senario.
Morning Rslash 😊
