It’s not her fault that they can’t communicate as a couple. Some parents aren’t very good at communicating household rules to their babysitters.

Manager asks employee to give the company 3 months’ notice before she starts her new job, which starts in 4 weeks: ‘I don’t feel like I’m obligated to put my next job on hold for them.’
3 months is a ridiculous amount of time. There is something extremely awkward about the two weeks after you tell your boss you’re leaving the company for good. Usually, there’s a lot to do… telling your coworkers how to complete tasks you know only you can do, finishing up projects as best you can, and …

Company Demands Employee Work After Her Last Day on the Job Because She Didn’t Give a Full 2 Week Notice

Boss scolds 29-year-old employee for being too direct in emails: ‘The emails were literally things like: “Hi, can you send the updated file when you get a chance?”’
The workplace has gotten so casual that normal communication is perceived as a slight against your incredibly sensitive coworkers.

I’ve been told that, especially when you’re in your first couple of months working at a new …

Dude cuts up and eats his roommate’s pineapple because she bought it on December 19th: ‘She has a history of leaving fruit on the shelves until it goes bad.’
He should’ve asked, but she shouldn’t be leaving half-rotted fruit out. I’ve been a roommate for nearly eight years now, and in that time, I’ve learned that all the hard-and-fast «roommate rules» don’t always apply. The rule «never touch your roommates’ things» makes sense in concept, but if your roommate is constantly leaving rotting food …

In the words of a disgraced rapper, «Soon as you see the text, reply me.» And some people live by that. Some folks can’t stand to sit on a text. Their wheels will immediately start to spin, and anxiety will creep up their necks. They can’t stand to wait even an hour for a reply. …
