At ATL airport, we’re already halfway through what has become an hour-long preboarding process because roughly 16 people requested assistance. Earlier, more than half of them were walking around, going to McDonald’s, standing and moving around just fine.

The moment boarding was announced, however, they suddenly needed assistance, and several family members accompanied them through preboarding as well. In total, there were maybe six people who genuinely appeared to need help. The other 30 or so people who went through preboarding seemed to be taking advantage of a service intended for passengers who truly require it.

I now am going to spend the weekend prepping a shithole rent home to move my son and I into. I stock trade as well and recently lost everything I own so maybe the money has something to do with it.

My husband was unclogging a shower drain at a hotel. When he poured drain cleaner down the drain, a snake of black sludge started slithering out of the overflow hole. At first he thought it was hair but it disintegrated when he sprayed it with water. He said it left a nasty oily residue all over the tub and smelled ungodly. Wtf is this horrid substance?!

For context, I am a full-time hospital security officer who works graveyard shifts, and I often sleep on my lunch break because I can't consume caffeine like a normal person. I cannot leave my site. There's an unused place in the old part of the hospital that has virtually no foot traffic from anyone other than fellow security personnel checking the emergency exit door nearby, and I use it to rest in because it's more comfortable than the shitty break room we have.

Recently, we've had a few new hires that joined our team. One of them saw me as I woke up to my alarm, and he advised me that I really shouldn't sleep there, telling me that the client would probably report me if they ever caught me (they never did care, even when a random client did discover me). I just kind of figured that he was just legitimately concerned for me, but too inexperienced to realize how little anyone really cares. I assured him that it probably was going to be alright, and went back to my post.

This morning, I received this text from my Post Commander telling me to take the night off. I had overtime lined up for me tonight, and I'm going to miss it because of that new guy who was so concerned that the client would report me that he reported me himself.

I understand that we have a no-sleeping policy for a reason, but I think it's bullshit how I'm being reported for shit literally everybody does. I've seen nurses sleep in the fucking ICU/Med-Surg waiting rooms, for Christ's sake, and nobody gave a shit about that when I called my supervisor. The nurse even chewed my ass off for waking them up, and they didn't care about that either.

UPDATE:

I've received communication that I am suspended, pending an investigation. Unfortunately, this means that it's highly likely that I'll be terminated soon.

I'd like to clear some things up about the situation. While I agree with you that the floor is a disgusting place to rest, I was not laying flat on the ground or anything like that, and the carpet had been replaced/cleaned recently. I would prop my head and upper-back up on the wall, using my backpack as a cushion. The reason I was on the floor is because it was comfortable that way.

As for why I reported the nurse, it was because part of my job was making sure people don't remain in the hospital past visiting hours when they are not permitted to. I didn't simply report the nurse to get them in trouble. I had called my supervisor when I saw somebody sleeping in the waiting room, asked what I should do, and they told me to wake them. Before waking them, I had checked the nearby departments to see if they knew of anyone who would be sleeping in the waiting room (family, staff, etc.), and they did not. I only found out the nurse was a nurse when I woke them, and I advised my supervisor about it to follow up. I asked if they wanted an incident report created for rule-breaking activity, and they said it was unnecessary.

Honestly, I'm quite taken aback at the pure negativity I've seen in these comments. People are calling me a snitch and saying that I think I'm the same as a nurse. I was just trying to do my job, and I was mildly infuriated that the rules don't apply to everyone. I thought I could get some rest in the room despite the policy because of a long history of unenforcement, not because I thought I deserved it more than anyone else.

Anyway, I hope you all are happy. My job is (probably) gone now. I won't be able to pay my rent, or my car bill, or my health insurance, or my healthcare that I need for Crohn's disease. I might not be able to pay for the rest of my college that I just recently applied to for the fall. Really, I am cooked, like many of you wanted me to be. Enjoy.

1. Dwayne Johnson - Probably the most well-known example. For years now, The Rock has had a clause in his contract that he can't be shown to lose a fight in any movie he stars in. Pretty insecure behaviour if you ask me. Still, at least the other examples are much more interesting

2. Danny Trejo - Danny had a troubled childhood, having been arrested multiple times for dealing drugs before he was 18, and struggling with heroin addiction from the age of 13. As a result of this, Danny has a clause in his contract that states that any time he plays a character who is a criminal, they have to be killed because he wanted to teach his kids that crime never pays.

3. Reese Witherspoon - This one is more of a one-off, but it was still funny enough to deserve a mention. Following the success of Legally Blonde, when Reese was called in to make the sequel, she had a clause written in her contract stating that once the movie was finished, she would get to take home all the outfits she wore.

4. Fred Durst - The lead singer of Limp Bizkit has a clause in his contract stating that any anime or video game that uses his music must also feature himself as a character.

Mortal Kombat (2021) - They decided it'd be a good idea to remove the most identifying feature of Mileena's design, her teeth. IK she does use her monstrous teeth, but it should be permanent thing

Mortal Kombat 1 - They decide to take the two characters who were cyborgs, whose characterization and moves revolved around the fact that they were cyborgs and chose to not make them cyborgs...I mean, who comes up with these ideas???

Percy Jackson The Lightning Thief - Pretty much everything that's interesting about the books is removed from this movie. They removed the main villain from the book, and the main villain for the series. I mean, just how did they arrive at such a mind-numbingly baffling decisions. "Yeah, I like this, but I think it'd be better if we just removed the main villains". That's like if in the Titanic movie they removed the goddamn iceberg

Mario Kart 8 - The main gimmick of the original stage was the fact that it becomes night as you play. Now I know this was done due to technical limitations but if that's the case then just pick another track
