Interesting article, but I disagree with #3. Just because people eat at their desk doesn’t mean they are working. I know many, including myself who prefer to eat at their desk, while they watch YouTube or play games or work on personal projects. That doesn’t represent a cultural issue. A great team is represented by…

I can’t skip breakfast.

Living in LA, riding public transportation, walking around a ton of homeless people, I can tell you that I smell perfume stench WAY more often than any person stench. I have coworkers that I can easily tell were in a room or the bathroom just because of the smell of their perfume/cologne is still hanging in the air.…

Ran a data center for 5 years, I wholeheartedly agree. First thing I did when I took over was had my team switch to velcro. It’s also too easy to crush or constrict a cable or hose with a zip tie.

As an IT guy on an anti-ziptie one man crusade in my department I endorse this statement with a star! So many cables get damaged by zip ties, even twist ties are better for most data work.

Ugh morning people are THE WORST

Typical morning person. “It’s super easy to wake up earlier because I do it so obviously anyone can!” NO.

Offer it with turbo and All-Trac, or GTFO.

I saw this pop up on Facebook a little while back from another outlet, but with almost the same title. I would’ve hoped the Lifehacker folks would put a bit more critical thinking into their title, but I suppose it baits more clicks this way... Also, following the reference, this paper is from 2003 - I wonder why it’s…

It’s never a good idea. No matter what the relationship, including marriage, have three accounts. One for each and a central one for bill paying. Nothing worse than having to get approval to buy your significant other a gift or have to explain why you bought a damn cup of coffee.

I always had this idea that a thankyou note was supposed to be unsolicited, spontaneous, of the moment, yet from the heart, but not a trained or enforced thing, not meant as a rule.

Your own example disproves you. When that $1000 water heater gets replaced, guess who REALLY is going to be paying for it... the RENTER! It’s already factored into your rental payment. You are paying for ALL repairs, maintance, taxes, PLUS extra profit for the landlord. That’s a fact. They don’t rent out to you at a…

That’s what my parents did and it doesn’t make disgusting foods taste any less disgusting. They still eat tomatoes in front of me all of the time and I’m still not eating a raw tomato because it’s still disgusting. Same with like mayo and salad dressing: Seeing my parents eat it doesn’t make it taste good.
