I had a supervisor that caught me sending a message off and after 5 minutes of telling me how I shouldn't use the phone for personal business during work hours the message finally pinged on their phone giving them a heads up about a new E learning the company wanted done ASAP. Only thing I learned from it was to send the supervisor messages to their email that they can only check when at the location rather then their phone so they could get a message off to everyone faster.

[@lordjub-jub5254]

Old video but whatever I’m blessed in that my worst boss is from my early childhood, so technically not a full job, I was helping an old lady out with chores. Worked about 4 hours clearing sticks, acorns and shit off the yard. Not hard work but time consuming and tedious, the old lady didn’t see to understand my mouth and hands could move at the same time, and after four hours I decided to take a break to go home right next door and eat, she decided I didn’t work hard enough and gave me like 3 dollars for the three big ass trash bags I filled up. Needles to say I refused to continue doing the work and her yard never got cleaned because I was the only kid there willing to do neighborhood work.

I had a manager who yelled at me for correcting an order due to the person forgetting that an ingredient was on the sandwhich (After realizing the ingredient was on that specific sandwhich, he immediately let us know). He was like, "You can't just change the order last minute!" to which I yelled, in front of a full lobby during rush, "This guy's allergic to that ingrediant, the hell do you expect me to do?" He looked behind him, saw all these people staring, and sighed angrily as he walked off. About...two hours later? He came up to me and apologized, presumably, because the GM talked to him about the incident.

Another example with the tough guys in prison people think they can take, is back in the first season of early 90's Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Superman is in prison and isn't allowed to use his powers because people think hes powers are causing a heatwave and some nobody half his size crook thinks he can pick on him because he won't fight back. But like, its Superman, even if he's not using powers, if you punch him is like hitting metal anyway. But Superman just moves his head at the last second and the guy punches a big brute in the cell behind superman and that guy beats up the small crook. All while he's begging Superman to help him and he's smiling, 'Sorry, not allowed to use my powers'.

[@rickryan344]

[@du0lol]

I had a teacher that used to do the phone thing. He told us to turn off our phones, back at the time when phones had a small screen outside where you could see if you had a message or something. I used mine to check the time quite frequently, but it was always on Silent since I hate ringtones with a passion. One time I take it out of my pocket, check the time and put it back in, and the teacher comes over and asks for it. At the time, the common practice was to take the phone and call the kid's parents over to pick it up. I told him it wasn't happening (and I was over 18 anyway, so I would just pick it up myself later if the took it). He sent me over to the principal, where I just filled my own reprimand form and went on home. What an asshat.

[@gooner7331]

You was at school where a lot of kids can't be trusted to not fuck around with their phones instead of concentrating on the lessons. So the rule is legitimate. Oh and don't give it the "i never misused my phone" because you can't have one rule for some and a different rule for others. Also all school rooms have clocks in them. So you don't need to use your phone to check the time. You were being a fucking prick

[@sindri1447]

Agree with gooner here. Not that you were being a prick but may have absolutely overestimated how much of a necessity your phone was there and the teacher couldn't have known what you were doing. Rules are rules. Either they're there for everyone or they're not at all.

[@du0lol]

@@sindri1447 he saw me glancing at the screen for a fraction of a second and putting it back in my pocket. And it's not like he was explaining a task or something; I had just finished some assignment and was waiting for the next. He did it 100% out of spite.

[@sindri1447]

@@du0lol all right but I assume there is a scool rule where no phones are allowed in the classroom? That's the norm anyhow. Doesn't really matter. If you can look at your phone for a fraction of a second then the other kids can do it too. For a second, 2 seconds, 10, a minute. Being teacher is such a thankless job and maybe your teacher had it out for you. I wouldn't know. I just think it's weird that you assume a classroom of kids/teens aren't always trying to get chance to take their phones out of their pockets.

[@du0lol]

@@sindri1447 The thing you're missing is that this went down before smartphones were a thing. Phones couldn't do much more than sending paid SMSs, playing silly games and taking shitty 320x240 pictures, IF you had a camera phone. This pissed me off enough to drive up to the school yesterday though, to have a look at the alumni manual. I can provide a picture if you need proof and can read portuguese, but here's the deal: the manual was last changed in 1999 specifically to include rules regarding cell phones. The rule is as follows: "Students are not allowed to make or receive calls during classes. Students are not allowed to have their phones ring inside of the classroom. It is recommended that students turn off their cellphones during classes. If the student is in any sort of family crisis , or needs it for work, they are advised to keep their cellphones on silent and nearby, but not on their desk. If the student is in class and needs to pick up a call or answer a text message, they must ask the teacher for permission first and then leave the classroom." So yeah, having the phone turned on wasn't against the rules. Glancing at the screen wasn't either. Of course, students were expected to not be fiddling with their phones during classes, though depending on the teacher they didn't mind if the kids were on their phones, as long as they weren't interrupting their classmates or getting in the way of class. I kinda relate to that sometimes, letting my kids play on their computers (which is not really allowed) if their activities are done and they aren't bothering anyone else. This teacher was just kind of a douchebag about it. I remember him asking the time to one of my classmates once, just to see if their phone was turned on. Asshole.

One time I got sent home on July 1st (Canada Day) for wearing a white t-shirt to work that said "Canada" in red block capital letters. At the time i worked at a grocery store and it wasn't unprecedented to wear seasonally appropriate clothing (ie: Christmas shirt during christmas, red shirt for valentines day, etc) The assistant manager sent me home for wearing a shirt that said "Canada" on it, during Canada Day, was because she didn't get prior permission from head office. And she further tried to say that if I had toichange shirts because my shirt that said "Canada" on it could be offensive to people. I am not joking. According to the assistant manager, me wearing a white t-shirt that said "Canada" on it, on Canada Day would be thought of as obscene to the customers and coworkers.
