"he/ she clearly was a wonderful father/ mother / friend/ etc and I'm sure they'd be proud of how much of an influence they had on you"

He was good at his job, just shitty personally.

Im not sure of the right things to say but this is what I’ve done for a friend in the past who’s mother passed away somewhat recently. I started by saying something along the lines of “I know you’re sad and I just want to say I’m sorry for your loss, I’m also proud of you for being strong this long.” Then I asked her things like “What was she like?” “What was your favorite thing about her?” “What do you miss about her?” “What’s your favorite memory of her?” All while emphasizing it’s normal to be sad. It’s okay to grieve over a lost loved one. It’s not going to be something that just goes away. You’ll always miss them, but try to think of all the good and even the bad times you had together. & when she answered those questions I asked her I told her that her mother seemed like a truly great woman, but the beautiful thing is that you’re just like her and your carry those parts of her on with you.

Moths destroyed a Persian rug we bought in Iran in the late 60’s. Had it on the floor in a craft room. Found the damage when moving.

Andrew Tate been arrested for less than 24 hrs and new top G appears

Holy crap, Andy Tate! They let you text from lockup?

If you are uncomfortable and don’t want to go too deep, maybe try to ask questions with concrete answers like, “When did they die?”, or “What made you think of them”? If you don’t mind and want to delve deeper, ask how they died, how they are dealing with it, etc.

“yeah!? Ya know I’ve been thinking about them, too?”

Stop being a bitch , you know what u have to do

Two suggestions I have

1 - roll with the punches, don’tshow frustration. Even double down on any jokes where you’re the butt of the joke assuming they are not incredibly hurtful and personal. That gives you room to then roast that person back and they are way more likely to be good natured about it.

2 - find new friends and implement number 1 permanently. It’s ok to get roasted and it’s fun if you’re not visibly frustrated because I promise you you will learn the ability to roast back.

> Some errors are worse than others and you may even get fired but your next job won’t know what you did!

That depends entirely on your job and your mistake.

I’m pretty sure everyone knows where Bill Cosby went wrong.

I don’t know if you’ve ever worked in a pizza shop but that’s how you get your hours cut and given to someone else.

The driver doesn’t get the delivery fee, at all. None of it. They just use it to further subsidize paying drivers the lower than minimum wage base pay they give them. Meaning it benefits the company, not the guy who is destroying his car bringing pizza to your door in any weather.

Nothing, I say nothing

I have a friend whose been in this situation, and the worst thing about it is that he doesn't understand how vital it is that he removes himself from that circle. If you understand how unhealthy that kind of dynamic is for you and your friends, you'll ditch them. "Close" how, may I ask? If they make you feel like shit, why are they close to you? Do their actions make you trust and appreciate them more, or less?

Best of luck :)

Honestly is the best policy in every situation, if you find yourself trying to weasel your way out of a mistake just bite the bullet and deal with it head on and admit your error.

People will trust you and I haven't found too many people that can't understand an honest mistake. Some errors are worse than others and you may even get fired but your next job won't know what you did!

You are ok with $1 tip?

"is there a memory of them you'd like to share?"

OP purposely excluded that part and said elsewhere in the comments he continues to tip generously with a negative balance in his bank account.

They take up less storage space when neatly folded. Which makes it well worth the 90 seconds it takes to fold them after washing & drying them.
