Posted on Facebook asking about deodorant that wonât irritate your underarms. Someone younger than me commented and recommended a product, I thanked him. He continued to comment 2-3 more times about âtipsâ.
âOh and just so you know old spice is juvenileâ
âAnd axe body spray wonât make the ladies come running, it usually makes them run awayâ
Yes, thank you I am a 22 year old college grad. I survived middle school, I know axe doesnât make panties drop.

I’ve been working in restaurants for years now. Barman and server, mostly. There’s this one guy who comes in super often, very haughty, very self-important. Runs some kind of business, import-export of something I cannot be bothered to care about. Anyways, I’m glad to allow him to pontificate about his Important Business-icity(TM), as he tips well.
Anyways, one day, he just turns to me and says: “see, the problem with you, u/el_pobbster, is that you work too hard for your money. What you need to do is to make your money work for you!”
…I had to hold back *so hard* about telling him about my roughly 25k investment portfolio.

I worked as a retail manager and one of my staff asked me how to input a %off coupon in the till, as they had only done $off coupons before. The customer asked us for a calculator to show us how to calculate a percentage. I was going to a top engineering school at the time and my staff member went to a prestigious university as well. We just gave each other a look and I taught her how to enter the discount into the till. The assumptions made by the customer that we were uneducated pissed me off, but I donât mind being underestimated.
