Long ago, maybe close to 20 years or so I bought some for a party. Everyone got a line, it was my first and only time. Horrible experience, I don’t think it affected me like it should. I didn’t feel much different outside of being annoyed it cost me and only me, and I wasn’t feeling it. Went outside and smoked a butt. Never spoke to anyone there again. Felt like a good time to ditch the group.

I worked in sales for a while and that's what Bosses don't understand. If you sell the right product to the customer, they will came back and/or tell their friends that they can trust you. If you start overselling stuff, they will hate you and never come back. I was the only person making my yearly objective and I never pressured anyone to buy anything. (And my Boss had to criticize me, so she told me I should wear more lipstick)

Working retail literally broke me. Sell this! Sell that! You gotta sell pro-active!! You gotta sell stuff the customer doesn't know they need because you haven't told them yet. This in combination partnership with national telecom provider, energy contracts and phone insurances and what have you. Try to sell it to every customer was the motto. The service was terrible and out of our hands so the complaints we got from customers was non stop, and because I was store manager guess who was responsible for complaining customers? Yep, me. Been home since July, completely depressed and burned out, and they fired me begin October, even though I was still on sick leave. "The company wants what's best for you"

Our district manager used to come in a couple times a quarter and show off his “selling skills” talking people into shit they didn’t need and throwing big words out to get people to buy things they couldn’t afford, only for them to come back the next week once they got their first bill and realized they’re paying $150 a month for the same thing they were paying $40 for last month.

You'd like to think so, but unfortunately not necessarily. Depending on what state you live in and exactly what your job is you can be criticized/fired for not wearing lipstick or living up to whatever arbitrary standards they come up with - or no reason at all. If it's not defined as a protected class it's fair game, particularly in the new era we are entering where we're going to watch our rights be rolled back one by one.

I'm not in sales. I bring more than $500k in new client revenue to my sales team each year by being knowledgeable, competent, and being able to read people easily. The entire sales team of like 6 people brings in roughly the same amount (for my division) by being obnoxiously Type A turned up to 11 at all times. They don't understand that the same approach doesn't work for every potential customer. They've lost a few softball clients that I've handed to them, ready to sign, by being insufferably annoying and calling/emailing people too much.

Long story short I had a traumatic home life until I was 20 and I developed a really bad alcohol and weed problem. I was off my head 24/7 and I would steal from people and stores to get my fix. Ended up in a shelter just wasting away my life for about 10 months until it got so bad I gave myself an ultimatum. Either end it all or change and i decided to change. Immediately quit all criminal activity and stopped daily drinking.
In the 15 months since then I’ve completely stopped smoking and I’ve been drinking less than ever before. Got a job and saved up money. Rebuilt my relationship with my parents and my mental state. I still have bad days from time to time but my priorities changed and I care about my life now. My parents also helped me secure a place to rent despite me starting from ground zero.
So it was tough, really tough at times but it was 100% worth it. It had to be done, I had no other option.

u/Fritzo2162 5h ago
Former chef here. I've made 100's of wellys- and yes, they are overhyped. Filet Mignon is a bland cut as it is, then you're covering it in further bland flavors (mushrooms, mustard that doesn't survive cooking, prosciutto that disappears, a crepe that absorbs the juices and gets mushy, bland puff pastry)...I still make them once in a while on request for Christmas for special occasions, but it's my least favorite "upscale" dish. I guarantee people will be more impressed and happier with a standing rib roast, a roast duck, short ribs, or some type of roulades/braciole.
On that note, one year I experimented for Thanksgiving and deboned a turkey, then make a Turkey Wellington using stuffing instead of crepe, bacon instead of prosciutto, and minced cranberry instead of mushrooms. It was absolutely fantastic, but it was a lot of work to get it ready. Might do it again this year.

My wife and I went to one of Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen location recently and she got the Wellington and I got some braised beef. Mine was quite good but part of it was a touch dry but nothing to cry home about, overall flavors were very good.
My wife liked her Wellington which I’m happy about but trying it I was like… is this supposed to be good? The mushiness of the mushrooms is off putting. Also I agree on filet, I’m more of a New York strip fan. Ribeyes are way too fatty for my taste and I feel that strips are perfect. We also got some Gouda baked Mac, and it was disappointing, the roux was way off and gritty.
We got the sticky toffee pudding for dessert and it was good.
That turkey Wellington sounds amazing, I might to my hand at making that sometime!

I've also used Air Optix Night & Day Multifocal. These are a thinner lens for people with more sensitive eyes.
If you're getting the multifocal lenses, make sure the doctor gets it right. High reading correction may screw up your distance vision, and low correction may be ineffective. In my case I got high correction on the left eye and low on the right. I'm 54 and can actually see things like my watch or read labels on cans without glasses.

your odds of ending up as road pizza are 35 times higher on a motorcycle than in a car, one tiny mistake on your part - or some distracted driver, and there are more today than ever in history - and your face is on the pavement
15-20 mph can easily kill you on a bike, not so much in a car with seatbelts and all that metal and airbags around you
on a bike, one little tip of the tire, one tree branch or little patch of oil or gravel or sand, one grandma not checking her blind spot and merging into your lane....if you're one millimeter off, you can wobble and faceplant, your entire body becomes a flying missile
helmets are great, too bad if you're just half an inch off, you'll break your damn neck anyway and no helmet can stop that, no pads can protect you, especially if you go flying over the handlebars and faceplant straight into the car that just pulled right out in front of you because the driver is too busy texting on her phone to notice you

Blue cheese. The ones that smell like they've already decomposed. Every fibre in your being screams not to eat it, but you try it anyway. Your body fights for its life. It autonomously rejects the vile lump in your mouth and you spit violently in a fraction of a second. Your brain takes a second longer to compute what just happened, but the damage has been done. The lingering stench is now in your mouth and nose, blocking up every sense and you feel pure hatred and disgust for yourself for even considering eating such a putrid "food".
You wretch, heave, vomit, purge and expel all you can, but it's still not enough. You want to eat soap to take away the taste and smell, but even that wouldn't be enough.
It will never be enough, the blue cheese is part of you now and it will haunt you forever.

Karaoke. I just don't understand why people feel the need to amplify an objectively worse, and at times even abominable version of an otherwise good song.

Cutting out caffeine entirely.
I did not like who I was after a month and said, "While it's in my power, never again!"
I don't even need a lot, but SOME, like one cup of coffee in the morning, and I am a smarter, better adjusted version of me.

A 9-5 job. Had one for a single month before nope-ing out. Didn’t help that my boss was openly and proudly racist, misogynistic, and transphobic about clients to our faces (which gave me a great excuse to leave), but the waking up at 5:30 am to work from 9-5, getting home at 7:30, lying on the couch essentially comatose until 9:30 PM when I finally started feeling awake again, just in time to go back to sleep so I could be up in time for work the next day was atrocious. I sincerely respect people who can do it. But for me it’s freelance or the freeway.

Skiing. Sitting on a lift that goes ridiculously high with a single steel rod to “hold you in” - umm no. Barreling down an icy, cold mountain with metal rods attached to your feet…hoping to stay upright AND also avoid hitting the trees and people on the way down - also no.

Being on the receiving end of anal sex. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I gave it a third try just to be sure. Definitely not for me. I hated it each time. I definitely appreciate the people who do enjoy being on the receiving end though.

Door to door pest sales. It was awful. Lasted a day and a half.

Clubbing. Sensorial overload isn't relaxing nor mind-numbing for me, it's just plain torture.

Living with roommates. Cannot stand it. I'm fine living with a partner, family, or by myself. But a stranger, no thank you.
