It's definitely a fire-able offense (I used to be a teller in my youth) and I'm not sure about illegality, but it seems like it should be illegal, doesn't it? And yet, according to Pops Dunemi, it happens all the time.

HOLD UP! YOU DRIVE A VEHICLE AT ANIMAL KINGDOM?

I get bothered by them because they interfere with other people's enjoyment of a resource. I don't know whether it's a selfie stick learning curve or whatever, but they cause such delays and hubub in places where there are groups or lines waiting to see something/someone.

Pele loves assholes like that, they taste like chicken.

Thank god. Maybe my job site can get on this.

I don't have one (nor will I), but I work at a place that people take lots (and lots and lots) of pictures at, particularly selfies. It's a thing that once rang, but can't ring anymore. You get the idea.

I used to work for the Met in their Visitor Services dept, and we had super strict rules for tripod use (only allowed Tuesday-Friday, and you had to get a permission slip from the Info desk that needed to be taped to the tripod). This was also the case for any handheld camera extender (so I doubt they've ever allowed…

I have never seen one used in real life.

ROLL CALL: Does anyone here actually use those things? I know precisely 0 people who own/ use one, so I sort of figured they were one of those rumors where the internet makes you think something exists but it actually doesn't.

This is some next level Gossip Girl shit. Please write a tell-all memoir.

I used to do the same thing and stopped out of fear. Now I type them out on a word document, revise then copy them into an email

Guarantee you that people in the office know you're dating. Sorry. ;-)

When you communicate with people consistently and frequently, they won't depend on the grapevine.

Usually I have a rule - if I'm writing an email with anything even a little sensitive, I imagine that it's going to get forwarded to the person I LEAST want it to get forwarded to, and I read it as if I were them. Usually this leads to me either rephrasing what I'm writing (switching from "if…

OK, I know everyone shits on lululemon around here, but after have a premature mid life crisis a few years ago, quitting medicine and thinking I would devote my life to yoga (yes that happened) I went to work for lululemon. They had a policy there of no gossiping. At all. This was a workplace that was 80% women and…

Not as relevant these days, but I used to joke at my old job that if you sneezed when you were walking by the Purchasing department, by the time you got to the other end of the department there'd be a rumor that you had AIDS.

I didn't say you believe everyone's pain is equal. The part about the hierarchy of pain in my comment is directed towards the poster above you who made the comparison about broken arms. We can agree to disagree whether your experience is relevant or not. You feel it is, I feel it is not. And a family memoir, to me,…

yah, she's expert level teenager, heh.

Good thing she has her looks to fall back on.
