Did one of my coworkers write this?

I need to make it explicitly clear that my previous comment constitutes the single biggest shitpost I’ve ever written as part of the kinja commentariat. While sad, I’d completely understand if it’s grounds for me getting re-grayed. I am deeply remorseful for my actions, and can assure you that that is not in my heart. Read more

In protest of this I will start slicing by loaf bread like a bagel.

Well, suggesting people should only contribute up to the company match is a questionable pronouncement. Read more

I think the card itself looks pretty cool and would have contemplated getting one but the 1% cash back when you use the actual card is a deal breaker. I know I reached “you darn kids get off my lawn” status a while back with technology but I just don’t want to pay for things with my phone.

Bank statements, tax returns, 401k balances, credit scores. I knew his financial details as well as I… Read more

Better idea: if you have the money make the payment all at once. If it's like great lakes, it will auto calculate how many months you are paid forward.

I don’t know how prevalent those are any more, but where they do exist, they are almost always illegal: Read more

Depends on the comb? Is it one of those pick kinds? Or a fine-toothed? The pick one would be ok. The fine-tooth? Eewww.

She kind of sounds like an asshole. Maybe this was an editorial choice and the re-telling of the story did not follow what actually happened but “berating” the aide for forgetting a fork and then demanding he/she clean the comb afterwards? Gah....get over yourself
