GUY NOT HAPPY BOSS MAKE HIM WORK ON SUNDAYS, WALK OUT OF OFFICE & NEVER RETURNED

I just walked out and I’m not coming back.

Sundays are not even my regular days and this is the fifth Sunday that my manager asked me to come in and my manager has the tenacity talk down to me each Sunday I come in when it’s only me, him, and another coworker.

I don’t make enough money to put up with this. Maybe he should learn how to talk to people next time. I simply clocked out and walked away with my manager right behind me trying to stop me. I didn’t say anything. I simply kept on walking.

Anyways, I can home to pick up my bike and I’m going out for a bike ride to enjoy this Sunday. I’m not worried about anything else at the moment.

Netizens’ comments

  1. People don’t quit bad jobs. They quit bad management.
  2. Good on you man. I’m sitting here alone at my job and was just contemplating just walking out and going home. Your health is not worth it.
  3. In moments like these, I find it best to just enjoy the time. If you get home and they’ve called you, I’d have a nice response written out for them, something along the lines of: “your repeated disrespect for my availability, your forcing of me to work hours outside that availability, and your general disrespect for me as a person have given me no choice but to leave. I hope the next person you hire will be treated with far more respect for their time and talents.”
  4. Good for you! These people must learn to respect the dignity of their employees. Social class is a stupid illusion. I hope you find something way better very soon.
  5. There’s always work to do somewhere, some way. If people don’t want to pay you for it, oh well. And I’m not being talked down to, y’all aren’t my parents.
  6. The moment you wake up and realize shit is f-ed up, getting underpaid, overworked. Take a day for yourself. You’re better than that shit. Go achieve.

DISABLED MAN WITH ONE LEG EARNS LIVING BY CLEANING CARS, EARNS RESPECT OF NETIZENS

DISABLED MAN WITH ONE LEG EARNS LIVING BY CLEANING CARS, EARNS RESPECT OF NETIZENS

In a world filled with stories of adversity and resilience, one particular encounter in Malaysia touched the hearts of a couple and shed light on the indomitable human spirit.

This heartwarming tale revolves around a one-legged man who, despite his disability, displayed unwavering determination and a can-do attitude that earned him the deep respect of a Malaysian couple and netizens alike.

The Chance Encounter

The story unfolded on Merdeka Day, the 31st of August, when a young woman and her boyfriend were about to exit their car.

On this sunny day, fate had a surprise in store for them. As they prepared to leave their vehicle, a one-legged man approached them, gracefully navigating on crutches.

With a set of cleaning tools in hand, the man wasted no time and immediately embarked on the task of cleaning their car, meticulously wiping it down. Simultaneously, he muttered a string of words that the woman could not decipher.

A Remarkable Display of Grit

What truly left an impression on the couple wasn’t the sparkling car lights or the pristine license plate. It was the sweat trickling down the man’s face and his resolute yet unsteady movements that told a remarkable story of determination. The entire cleaning process took merely five minutes, but those minutes spoke volumes about the man’s work ethic.

As the cleaning neared completion, the woman’s boyfriend inquired about the cost of the service. The man calmly quoted RM200 (approximately S$60), which included the three bottles of cleaning agent he had used.

While this amount may seem significant, the couple’s perspective put it into context. The woman disclosed that the RM200 was only a slight difference from the total cost of their groceries. She further clarified that they were not affluent individuals and that this sum could easily cover several meals.

However, the couple recognized a stark difference between themselves and the one-legged man. They were physically able, which made their daily tasks significantly easier to accomplish.

With this realization, they didn’t view the RM200 as payment for cleaning supplies they didn’t understand but rather as a tribute to a man who worked tirelessly to earn a living, one step at a time, guided by his crutches.

Unfazed by Criticism

In the world of social media, where opinions flow freely, some netizens criticized the couple, labeling them as gullible. Others expressed concerns that the cleaning agent might damage the car’s paint. Nevertheless, the woman remained undeterred, gracefully acknowledging that everyone is entitled to their own perspective and values.

As she concluded her post, the woman extended a heartfelt plea to the public, urging them to embrace respect and empathy towards those with diverse perspectives and values. In a world filled with differing circumstances and abilities, the one-legged man’s story serves as a poignant reminder that determination and a can-do attitude can transcend physical limitations.

S’PORE AT RISK OF HAZE AFTER HOTSPOTS DETECTED IN SUMATRA, TIME TO WEAR MASK AGAIN

S’PORE AT RISK OF HAZE AFTER HOTSPOTS DETECTED IN SUMATRA, TIME TO WEAR MASK AGAIN

In recent days, Sumatra, an island in Indonesia, has been experiencing a concerning increase in hotspot activity. These hotspots have given rise to smoke plumes that have caught the attention of environmental agencies and neighboring countries, including Singapore.

Understanding the Hotspot Activity

Over the past few days, Sumatra has witnessed a surge in hotspot activity. According to the National Environment Agency (NEA), there were 28 hotspots detected on 2 September, and an additional 23 were identified on September 3rd, 2023.

The majority of these hotspots are concentrated in the southern regions of Sumatra, which is a cause for concern given the proximity to Singapore.

While Sumatra is known for its lush landscapes and rich biodiversity, the recent surge in hotspots poses a significant threat to the environment.

One of the most immediate consequences of hotspot activity is the generation of smoke plumes. These plumes have been observed rising from some of the detected hotspots in Sumatra.

The presence of smoke raises concerns not only for the local population but also for neighboring countries, including Singapore.

Fortunately, the prevailing winds from the southeast have, for now, prevented the smoke plumes from drifting directly towards Singapore. This has provided some relief to the residents of Singapore, as direct exposure to the smoke could have severe health implications.

The NEA warns that the dry weather conditions prevailing over southern and central Sumatra are expected to persist in the coming week. This persistent dryness raises concerns of exacerbating the hotspot and smoke haze situation in the region.

If the dry weather continues as anticipated, there is a growing risk of hazy conditions affecting not only Sumatra but also spilling over to Singapore.

To assess the immediate impact of the hotspot activity and smoke plumes on Singapore, the NEA provides the 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) readings.

As of 4 pm yesterday, the PSI ranged from 45 to 76, falling within the “Good to Moderate” range. NEA is currently monitoring the situation closely.

NEA’s statement

There has been an increase in hotspot activity in Sumatra over the past few days, with smoke plumes emanating from some of them. 23 hotspots were detected today (3 Sep 2023), and 28 yesterday, mostly over southern Sumatra. The smoke plumes are still some distance away from Singapore and not observed to drift directly to Singapore under prevailing winds blowing from the southeast.

In the coming week, the prevailing dry weather is expected to continue over southern and central Sumatra. This may escalate the hotspot and smoke haze situation there and lead to a risk of hazy conditions affecting Singapore.

The 24h PSI across Singapore at 4pm today was 45 – 76, in the Good to Moderate range. NEA is monitoring the situation closely.

STEPMOTHER HATES BEING THE PARENT OF A DISABLED CHILD, NOT EASY

STEPMOTHER HATES BEING THE PARENT OF A DISABLED CHILD, NOT EASY

A woman shared how she hates being the parent of a disabled child from her husband’s previous marriage.

Here is the story:

My son is 16, and he has both a genetic disorder and autism. Maturity-wise, he’s maybe half his age. I hate my life. I hate it so much.

There’s never a day where it’s easy. You don’t get to have the same payoffs as other parents, where you experience their fun milestones in life. There no real future to plan for. There isn’t any hope that he’ll be able to live independently.

I’ve been raising my son since he was 4. His bio mom has almost nothing to do with him. She doesn’t pay child support or her half of his medical bills, and she never bothers to ask how he’s doing medically or in school. I’ve had to make so many sacrifices for a child that isn’t mine. My husband is wonderful and we have a great relationship. He is equally as miserable.

Every day is like whack a mole with his issues. We have to micromanage everything because he’s not capable of keeping track of anything on his own. He is charming in his own way, and that leads a lot of people to believe he’s capable of a lot more than he is, which means even more work for us. I am so tired of having to keep track of every school assignment. Of making sure he takes his medicine 3x a day. He’s been taking meds 3x a day since he was three and he still can’t remember to take it on his own. We have to make sure he puts on clean clothes, brushes his teeth, etc because he won’t do any of that himself. We have to ban food from his room because he will seriously sleep in food waste. He still can barely tie his shoes, which makes others at school uncomfortable because he doesn’t understand boundaries, on and on.

We have zero support system. It’s hard enough to make friends as an adult, but add in a child with severe disabilities? Our families live very away. My husband’s parents have never once showed any interest in having their grandson visit without us present. They don’t even offer to let us go out to dinner alone. The only break we ever have is while he’s at school. The last time we had any time away from our child was almost three years ago.

It’s absolutely miserable, who knows if we’ll ever be able to have him live outside of the house. It never ends. I am tired and at the end of my rope and I hate that every morning I wake up and wish I hadn’t.

RESORT LIFT FELL 100-METRES & CRASHED AFTER CABLE SUDDENLY SNAP, 5 DEAD

RESORT LIFT FELL 100-METRES & CRASHED AFTER CABLE SUDDENLY SNAP, 5 DEAD

Five hotel workers tragically lost their lives on 1 September when a lift cable at the Ayuterra Resort in Bali abruptly snapped, causing them to plummet into a ravine that was approximately 100 meters deep, according to Detik.

The Fateful Incident

On 1 September at around 1 pm, tragedy struck at the picturesque Ayuterra Resort. The victims, all employees of the resort’s housekeeping department, were ascending to a higher level using the resort’s lift when the steel cable supporting the lift suddenly gave way and snapped. This catastrophic failure led to the horrifying plunge into the ravine below.

Two of the employees were killed instantly upon landing, while three others initially survived the fall before eventually succumbing to their injuries and dying.

Eyewitnesses recount the terrifying moment when the cable snapped, accompanied by screams and a deafening crash that resonated throughout the vicinity.

One worker at the hotel, upon hearing the commotion, rushed to the scene and discovered the five employees at the foot of the ravine.

He then called for assistance from his colleagues to rescue those who were still breathing. Despite their efforts, the other 3 still-breathing victims were subsequently rushed to Payangan Hospital, where they succumbed to their injuries and died

Victims

The names of the five employees who tragically lost their lives in this devastating incident are namely:

  1. Sang Putu Bayu Adi Krisna, a 19-year-old man.
  2. I Wayan Aries Setiawan, a 23-year-old man.
  3. Ni Luh Superningsih, a 20-year-old woman.
  4. Kadek Hardiyanti, a 24-year-old woman.
  5. Kadek Yanti Pradewi, a 19-year-old woman.

Kadek Hardiyanti and Sang Putu Bayu Adi Krisna were the two victims who met their untimely demise immediately at the scene.

Heartbreaking footage has also surfaced, showing authorities meticulously transporting two lifeless bodies up the resort’s stairs.

Ongoing Investigations

In the wake of this dreadful incident, the Ubud police have launched a comprehensive investigation. Preliminary findings suggest that the failure of the cable caused the lift to slide downward before plunging into the ravine, according to Tribune News.

Furthermore, it is highly likely that the steel cable was not sufficiently strong to bear the load, and the safety brake may have malfunctioned at the time of the incident.

Authorities are also exploring the possibility of negligence at the resort, such as irregular maintenance of the elevator.

Resort Owner’s Commitment

Linggawati Utomo, the owner of Ayuterra Resort, has expressed her heartfelt condolences to the families of the deceased and extended her sincere apologies.

She has taken full responsibility for the tragedy and pledged to cover all the costs associated with the funeral ceremonies.

Additionally, Linggawati mentioned that there is death compensation and BPJS Employment insurance in place to provide further support to the affected families.

GIRL ACCIDENTALLY FLASHES TO SOMEONE TRYING TO HIT ON HER

A girl shared a story of how she had accidentally flashed herself to someone who was trying to hit on her by accidentally pressing the video call button while she was not wearing anything.

Here is the story

“Before I start let me say that I had lost all my contacts on my phone previously and I do get a lot of unknown numbers messaging me so I do reply them as they might be one of my contacts.

So today morning a random guy messaged me asking how i was. I had no idea who it was but i am also not very confident so i decided to give it a day and try to remember who it was before blocking him.

Fast forward to night when I’m cuddling with my boyfriend, we are both not wearing anything and he is the big spoon. It is rather hot so no blanket.

Another message pops up. My boyfriend was already asleep. The guy was apparently a typical “nice guy” and was calling me out for not replying.

Not surprising. I decide to block his number.

But no, the universe was smiling upon that guy. I accidentally tapped on the video call icon, and was dumbfounded for a second when I saw myself on the screen.

Instead of turning off the camera I just lay there in shock trying to figure out what had just happened for a solid 5 seconds. My brain just stopped working. I could not for the life of me figure out what in the world was happening.

And then I saw this creep stare back at me with wide eyes like he’s found the way to enlightenment or something.

Yup, so that is the story of how I had accidentally flashed myself to some random person.”

GUY THOUGHT HE HAD CHANCE WITH GIRL WHO IS JUST FRIENDLY, SENDING THE WRONG SIGNALS

GUY THOUGHT HE HAD CHANCE WITH GIRL WHO IS JUST FRIENDLY, SENDING THE WRONG SIGNALS

A guy shared a story of how he was working as a photographer for a sports event a few years back and got to know this girl who was also working in the stadium.

He shares that he was single at that time and the guy was very chummy with him which led him thinking that he had a chance.

He then plucked out the courage to ask her out only to find out that she was just being her friendly self with him just like she would be with anyone.

Here is the story

“I get to work as a sports photographer for an ongoing sports event many years back.

Matchday 1 : There’s this girl, a volunteer making sure everything is in place. She’s standing next to where I was photographing. After a little “hi-hello”, we talk at the half time and I tell her about the organisation I work with. A nice little conversation and then the night ends.

A day before matchday 2 : We meet again near the venue as we had some work to do, another “hi-hello” and a nice little conversation. This time we exchange Instagram IDs and vibe over how we both have broken phones.

Matchday 2 : We meet again at the same place, but I’ve to shoot some videos. So, I have a rushed conversation with her. Me & my team had to leave early cause the match got cancelled.

At this point it’s become an inside joke in my team that “this is my stadium girlfriend”

Later we exchange phone numbers over Instagram.

We have 2 nice little conversations over text, and my brain is like : Hmm, interesting girl. It’ll be nice to get to know her and maybe ask her out.

Me to myself : okay, you have 4 more matchdays to go. Take it slow, she’s probably just being friendly. Don’t rush in based on the inside jokes. Maybe you can try to flirt a little, either way only ask her out on the last match day!

Matchday 3 : Cancelled.

Me happily texting her for another nice little conversation.

Me : I should ask her for a hang out.

My brain : You’d be rushing in! BAD IDEA.

Me : Ahaaa, I’ll just casually slide it through

Me over text : I think, you are an interesting person… and it’ll be nice to get to know you! Wanna hang out some day?

Instant Regret. And before I could unsend this message, she’s already seen it.

Her : Sorry if you got any wrong ideas

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Now, I have 3 more matchdays to go and I guess it’ll be awkward.

Should’ve taken it slow and only asked her out on the last day, wouldn’t have had to worry about the awkward moments.

Now I’m out here with the song lyrics, “wise men say, only fools rush in” playing on back of my head.

I hope I manage to play it cool, for the rest of the matchdays.”

MAN ARRESTED FOR PUBLIC NUISANCE AND VOLUNTARILY CAUSING HURT TO A MINOR

The Police have arrested a 36-year-old man for his alleged offences of causing public nuisance and voluntarily causing hurt to a person below 14 years of age.

On 2 September 2023 at 8.45am, the Police were alerted to a case of assault at the vicinity of Kovan MRT Station. A 9-year-old boy was alleged slapped by a man. The boy, who was commuting to classes with his 7-year-old brother, further said that the man also hurled vulgarities. Preliminary investigations revealed that the victim did not know the assailant.

Through ground enquiries and with the aid of images from CCTVs, officers from Ang Mo Kio Police Division established the identity of the man and arrested him on the same day.

The man will be charged in court on 4 September 2023 with the offences of public nuisance under Section 290 of the Penal Code 1871 and voluntarily causing hurt against a person below 14 years of age under Section 323 read with Section 74B of the Penal Code 1871.

Anyone found guilty of the offence of public nuisance under Section 290 of the Penal Code 1871 will be liable for a fine which may extend to $2,000.

Anyone convicted with the offence of voluntarily causing hurt under Section 323 of the Penal Code 1871, may be punished with imprisonment term which may extend to three years, or with fine which may extend to $5,000, or with both.

The Police will spare no effort to track down those who commit such brazen acts and will take firm action against them in accordance with the law.

YISHUN LANDLADY KICKS TENANT OUT, THEN PULLS OUT KNIFE WHEN HE ASK FOR DEPOSIT BACK

YISHUN LANDLADY KICKS TENANT OUT, THEN PULLS OUT KNIFE WHEN HE ASK FOR DEPOSIT BACK

A tenant was evicted from his rented room in a Yishun HDB unit by his landlady, and when he asked for his deposit back, the landlady brandished a knife in response, according to Shin Min Daily News.

The incident reportedly took place on 9 August at Block 506B, Yishun Avenue 4.

Landlady from your worst nightmares

The story begins with a tenant who rented a room in July through Facebook and moved into the flat on the 16th of that month. Little did they know that their peaceful stay was about to take a rather unusual turn.

Soon after moving in, the tenant started experiencing early morning disturbances. The landlady would bang on their door and scold them at 6 am every morning, complaining about parts of the house being dirty.

This unwelcome behavior led the tenant to do some research, where they discovered that this particular landlady had already earned a reputation as someone to be cautious about, and that she had apparently been “blacklisted”.

The surprises didn’t end there. By the end of July, the landlady insisted that the tenant move out, even allowing two other tenants to move in before their departure.

The tenant, expecting their deposit back, requested the return of their $550 deposit. However, the landlady reportedly refused to return him his money.

In an attempt to resolve the matter, the tenant brought in relatives from Indonesia to negotiate with the landlady. Unfortunately, things took a rather dramatic turn.

The former tenant recalled the incident, saying that he didn’t expect the landlady to suddenly become emotional and pull out a knife from the kitchen, asking him to kill her.

Fearing that someone might get injured, the tenant decided to take action and lodged a police report the following day. Ultimately, the landlady did return $530 to the tenant.

Landlady called tenant’s workplace to complain

This wasn’t the end of the tenant’s ordeal. In their rental agreement, tenants were required to provide personal details, including their workplace information.

After moving out, the former tenant shared that the landlady had contacted his company and raised concerns about his character, even going so far as to request his termination.

Fortunately, the tenant’s boss was understanding, sparing him from the potential consequences of the landlady’s actions.

Other tenants also kena the same thing

Another former tenant, surnamed Yang, 21, corroborated these claims, revealing that he was also swiftly evicted and that the landlady had also contacted his company to complain.

Yang’s experience was equally troubling. After moving in on August 20th and paying a booking fee, he found himself in a rather challenging living situation.

The landlady, initially friendly during the tour, suddenly became demanding. Yang was instructed to clean up the room and toilet, buy groceries without receiving money to do so, and even had his access to water and electricity restricted.

The situation escalated when the landlady demanded Yang to pay the full rent upfront, which he couldn’t afford. As a result, he was evicted.

A Troubling Pattern

When questioned about these incidents, the landlady remained agitated and refused to respond. It seems that the unsettling behavior and questionable practices weren’t limited to just one tenant.

Other former tenants have also reportedly complained about similar issues, revealing that they were banned from locking their room doors or staying home during their off days, as well as not being allowed to bring food home to consume.

GIRL ASKS IF SHE SHOULD TELL HER BF THAT HIS FATHER KISSED HER

GIRL ASKS IF SHE SHOULD TELL HER BF THAT HIS FATHER KISSED HER

A netizen shared how her boyfriend’s father kissed her and she isn’t sure if she should tell her boyfriend because she doesn’t know if it was an accident.

Here is the story:

To start this my boyfriend (29m) and I (25F) have been seeing each other for about half a year and I have met his dad (50m) a handful amount of times…

Well, every time I come over his dad and I usually hug to say hello or goodbye, it’s just something friendly to do…

but today during our hug he kissed my neck, my hair was in the way so he mostly kissed that. We pulled away and that was that, nothing else said or exchanged. (My boyfriend said hi and had to run to the car to grab something so he wasn’t there when his father and I said hello)

My boyfriend is a very protective and territorial type of person, and I know it wouldn’t fly if anybody else would have done this.

So, do I tell him that his dad did this? How would I approach the topic? I feel slightly uncomfortable about it and I just don’t know if it’s a normal thing he does, because he hasn’t done it before.

TLDR; My boyfriend’s dad (50m) kissed my neck and I (25f) don’t know if I should tell my boyfriend (29m) or how to approach the topic.

Update: I sat my boyfriend down and told him, I told him I felt weird about it and thought I should tell him. We talked about it probably being an accident because his dad is a little shorter than me.

He also reassured me that no one is off-limits when it comes to me, and that includes his family. (Meaning if someone tries anything he’ll do something) That he also stated that if he needs to talk to his dad about it he will.
