Google, Amazon and Facebook will never see another cent, ad-view or personalized data point from me.
So far, this has affected relatively little to be honest. The most impact was losing access to WhatsApp.
I hate vegetables. Hate em. At meals I eat only protein and carbs. The only way I get vegetables is by making veggie smoothies and chugging them. Not bad in the morning with fruit and veggies
Recently saw a video where the presenter attended a press event, but ended up watching the thing from other attendees’ phones being held in the air, because the presenter wasn’t tall enough to see the stage 😢
I guess it could be a nice hack at concerts if you can’t see the stage properly
I stand on the wheels of cars when scraping the windshield or removing snow so I can reach the middle of the windshield. Doesn’t work with every car though.
I’ve never had problems for being short. Maybe I haven’t been paying attention but there’s nothing a stool or a chair can’t fix. Also, climbing on furniture is easy but rare. 🤷♂️
Bank of America. I have dealt with them on a corporate level, multimillion dollar assets, mind you, and seen gross incompetence and negligence that scared me. I’m talking about constant insecure data practices, inconsistent rules, terrible record keeping, and asset mismanagement.
The biggest weakness appeared to be how they treated their employees. Our “local branch” went through multiple managers in less than a year, and when we did business with the “employees du jour” in our quarterly meetings, they all acted like scared college students. Unprepared, inexperienced, and some cocksure with blatantly wrong information. And some downright unprofessional. For example, we had a meeting where they kept pronouncing our company name wrong, spelled our name wrong a different way, and kept adding parts to it. Like:
“Okay, as president of Reginald Incorporated–”
“Remington. Like the gun.”
"Regingun international - -
“No no. REM MING TON. Remington.”
"Right. Remington International - -
“Incorporated. There is no ‘international’ in our name.”
“But you’re a Japanese company?”
“No. We’re American. We do business with the Japanese.”
“Oh. Huh. Okay, as president of Remington Incorporated of Japan - -”
“NO. Just ‘Remington Incorporated.’ That’s it.”
“Oh wow. Sorry. I’m going to have to fix that on this paperwork, then.”
Every single one of my kitchen cabinets is too high and I can only reach the bottom shelf. My kitchen tongs double as a grabby thing so I can reach stuff. I bought a rather large kitchen cart/portable island thing and that’s where the dishes live and it doubles as my cooking prep station since it’s slightly lower than my counters.
This is such a funny thread because I am only barely tall, only as tall as an average man and it always seems the world is designed for someone around 5’2". Kitchen counters just a little too low always. Mirrors too. Door handles, everything calibrated just a little shorter than I am. Except those stupid over the refrigerator cabinets, which are made for someone 7’5".
The tongs trick I have used though - no matter how long your reach, something is too far. And when my kids were short we had to arrange things for them, mostly just making sure there were stepstools around.
When it comes to a point where someone can buy anything they want, gifts become more of non-material things, like spending time with family or personally crafted items that aren’t necessarily expensive.
