What rSlash have taught me over the years: 1) Don't cut down your neighbours' trees 2) Never mess with the IT person and/or sysadmin 3) Always ask for things in writing 4) If you own a business; don't treat your employees like garbage. Especially not the only person who knows how to run things smoothly 5) If you're going to commit a crime, especially federal crimes; don't be a jerk to everyone around you. That way, it'll be less likely you're going to be reported to the authorities by whoever you pissed off

Dude, wtf. Pay your friend when you rent a room. The longest I’ve gone is a week. Because we both forgot and when his wife asked if I paid we had to check. I paid immediately. Don’t burn bridges with friends nice enough to rent out a room.

[@B0BBYL33J0RD4N]

Depends on how lax the relationship is. Dude sounded like he just didn't manage what week of the month was very well, and friend didn't badger him about it. When the friend mentioned it was bothering him something massive, he immediately payed and payed up in future to make sure he couldn't fall behind again. With how little info was in there, it could be hostile, or it could be a petty friendly thing. My money is on them still having a lax relationship.

[@scooblov]

This buy had enough money to pay and still was late: yeah? Buttholes do that. I had a long time friend as a roommate and he stopped paying rent. I was stressing, but young and didn’t know how to handle it. My GF was tired of hearing me complain, so she asked him for the money. Yes he had a pocket full of cash. He just wanted me to ask for it 🧐 Yeah, we’re no longer friends.

[@Omagadam1]

I love managers like this. I was in an SMB as the customer service manager with a young and just out of highschool staff. Being 24 at the time I had plenty of call centre and retail experience so I had already developed a thick skin to asshole customers. Because I wanted my staff to feel valued and because I had final say on how the team was run, any time my staff felt uncomfortable by a customer they were instructed to immediately pass the call to me with absolutely no additional information or context. My favourite tirade was something like "no, I don't care. I'm the manager, I have manager shit to do. I pay people to care and you treated them like shit. I trained them all myself and review their work daily so if you have a problem with them you have a problem with me. Now you get the manager level ultimatum instead of the customer service level service.". I would still offer the outcomes I expected of my staff but I was blunt and wouldn't sugar coat it. "You get either quick solution X, maximum benefit solution Y, or whatever the hell I feel like doing Z. Failure to clearly indicate what you want will result in Z." On the off chance they got a hold of my boss, they also had the opinion "we pay someone to do this so we don't have to. How did you get this number? Fuck off" I miss those days sometimes.

[@D64nz]

Perfectly balanced..

[@amateural]

Story 3: "I would rather lose a bad client for a better, higher paying one" Wouldn't we all? Is there anything controversial about that opinion? Sounds like the managers also make more commission if the person is spending more money no????

[@skorpiongod]

The manager would make more on the higher rates but overall it's still a small piece of his pie.

I've listened to folks who THOUGHT they had authority over people and situations but were shut down in magnificent style. I'm trying to figure out how to put this... Imagine all the big wigs in a planning session with a super bigwig there that they were all trying to impress. By impress, I mean talking down to little supposed peons while sucking up to him. A plan was put on the table and the peon informed the super bigwig that he was a dumbass for not taking anything more than numbers into account as people don't act like numbers and the plan would fall apart the instant any implementation was attempted. The peon then put the alternative plan, put together with a team of peons who knew the job intimately. The peon team got the plan enacted leaving the local bigwigs pissed. That stewed for over five years before the local bigwigs "retired" the offending peon who lead that team. On the upside, a lot of lives were saved... The downside, five years of misery for that peon who watched each member of that team fired, retired, or made to quit.

As someone who spent the early days of WoW having to play on a computer with 90's specs and on minimum dial-up Internet speed, the pain of playing with bad fps and random disconnects was bad enough. Had I lived in a shared student apartment, I would never provoke anyone to intentionally ruin my gaming experience. But by the sound of things, the guy in the first OP's story had bigger problems than being frequently disconnected. He needed anger management therapy. The kind of abusive person he might've turned into today is likely the kind who would get thrown into jail because someone even slightly inconvenienced him in his daily life - not to mention maintaining his lazy and irresponsible behavior.

[@Zeekfox]

Getting disconnected from games does really suck. Though I was playing a different MMO, a long time ago I had to deal with a weak wifi signal from the kitchen where the microwave would actually interfere with it. I had to sign on to do late night boss raids because I couldn't do them when it was dinner time or else risk that someone decides to cook potatoes in the microwave for a couple minutes while I'm in the middle of fighting the top end boss at the time.

[@melkiorwiseman5234]

ProTip: If your microwave oven is leaking enough signal to interfere with your wi-fi, it's dangerous and needs to be thrown out and replaced. Bonus ProTip: If it's caused by the power browning-out due to the load of the microwave oven running, then your house wiring is dangerous and desperately needs replacing.

[@Zeekfox]

@@melkiorwiseman5234 It was definitely just messing with the signal. We weren't losing power at all. I was just losing my signal on my laptop. And that was a long time ago, so the microwave has definitely been replaced since.

The first story the only way i would agree what the person did is if the roommate wasn't paying for the internet too and that the roommate was also not just cleaning his room or his own dishes. Becuase it sounds like the roommate stays in his room and doesn't use the rest of the apartment so why should he do anything esle except his own things?

[@gregmiller3523]

Um, well, I assume he would use the bathroom, cook, walk around tracking dust and dirt into the place, he most likely has washing he has to do, even if all he does is eat takeouts and shit in bags he still makes a mess. There are tons of ways a person can leave a mess without spending lots of time in a place. So yeah, lots of ways he probably made a mess and just refused to help clean.

[@Scarleto]

Keep in mind it only fucked with the WOW connection, if he did literally anything else on the computer requiring a connection it would have been fine. Also are you guessing this guy keeps his own dishes, food, bathroom, etc, inside his bedroom? Cus if not, he is using the rest of the house, and has an obligation to pitch in.

[@romeunleashed2]

@@Scarleto If he does his own dishes like I said in my post if you actually read instead of reading alittle then jump to comments. That also means putting them away. Also if he doesn't use the lounge room and so on. Then why should he have to clean it? He should only clean up after himself he makes a mess he cleans it. What the story says is there trying to make it no matter who made the mess other people need to clean it. Which imo is not right. It might be shared areas but still should only be clean up your own mess. Not other peoples.
