Mother Of All Whore Threads Non-VIP Edition v.1

Y’all talking about the looting makes me giggle. It’s a weekly thing here in Chicago. People have been driving stolen cars into Gucci, Louis Vitton, Nordstrom, etc. so often that the police had to put up concrete barricades to choke traffic.
 
Good Morning, Everyone!

I'm goofing off for Thanksgiving, as being too weird for my family to engage with has finally paid off.

Nope. Years past I've had to play Thanksgiving Personal Question Bingo and now that I'm 30 I know they'll get worse. I'm tired of trying to get my extended family to treat me like an adult.

Greatest Hits Include:

-When I'm finding a girlfriend
-When I'm moving
-Can you fix my laptop/mobile device
-Do I do anything besides watch Anime and eat Instant Ramen
-Why are you so thin

So this year I'm going to the Thanksgiving game; Raiders @ Cowboys instead. I'll be in a Honda-related shirt if I get on the Jumbotron.

Damn man. :oops:

Never had to go through that personally. Well.. once my wife and I got married for a good solid 2-3 years (sometimes even still) we got asked "when are you having kids?". That was annoying AF but then I got to the point where I didn't give a **** and said "we don't want any." and people gave me the :confused: what do you mean you don't want any face...

I'll be watching for you! Go Raiders :rotfl: I don't care who wins.
 
In my 36 years of living today was the first time I've ever asked for a raise. I've almost always been given raises at the right time since. Asked for $3 more, sounded good in my head and when talking to my wife but kind of a lot when asking my manager.

I think I did. Also asked to bump my eye benefits up because my daughter wears glasses and usually replace the lenses twice a year due to scratches. I only get $100 a year towards glasses right now.

Tell them if you don't get the spot that I'll drive by your job and rev REAL LOUD at 3AM until they do!

I’m 33yo and I’ve asked for a raise every year for thirteen years. Our company gives us “annual” raises every 14-18mo but I always ask for a performance raise as well. I’m now making four times what I did when I started. Just think about how much more you might be making now if you would’ve asked years ago. Don’t be afraid to value yourself and your work.

Edit - Didn’t realize it’s only been thirteen years. Thought it’s been fifteen. Haha.

You guys in the auto industry deserve it. I’ve got a friend who’s a Service Advisor that started off as a Lube Tech and he’s told me all about how y’all have to just work at full speed all day just to try and make real money.

Especially working off book time, getting paid 0.5 for "multi point" inspections all day long is awful. I worked at a BMW dealer a looong time ago and worked pretty close with the techs and learned all about how techs will get screwed on stuff all the time. Get paid an hour to diag a noise only for the customer to not want to fix whatever it is and hopefully you haven't gotten too far in to the car with tearing things down cause you're putting that thing back together for free

honda ... don't sweat it. Just like booty said, some people just never give up on that type of stuff. If you decide to get married, the next line of questions that never seem to end deals with how soon you'll be having kids and so on. Don't let it get to you. Do what makes you happy.
