"High volume recruiters spend an average of 10 seconds looking at a resume."
"The roses you buy at Valentine’s Day were harvested around Xmas. It’s the worst time of the year to buy roses and I don’t mean because they’re more expensive. They’re also the worst quality because it’s a longer holding time between harvest and use than any other time of the year.
Never ever ever send flowers through an order processing service. Look at the location you’re in or sending to and talk to a florist in that area directly. Don’t pick a picture off some external website. Ask the florist what they have and can make that fits your budget. If you’re worried, ask them to text you a pic of the completed design."
"My billable hours are not the actual hours"
"If you’re ever buying bulk gravel/sand/crushed stone from a local pit/quarry that has scales to weigh the amount of product you’re getting- you’re getting f@#ked because you’re paying for water. Most of these pits/quarries spray the living f@#k out of their stockpiles before/during operation to make the material heavier in the truck. Never buy by the ton- always buy aggregate by the cubic yard. It’s a measure of volume- not weight."
"I worked in the moving and storage industry and if you EVER pay movers to pack and move your family, DEMAND an itemized bill and proof of service.
These people are out here RAKING people over the coals. Inflating box counts, charging for services not performed, etc. it’s not AS BAD if it’s COD but if it’s a corporate move for your job?? DEMAND IT. You might not be paying for it out of pocket, but it’s still showing on your income as taxable wages."
"I worked at a major jewelry company in the US. When we wanted to buy jewelry, we paid what it costs to make the product (material, labor, shipping), plus 10%. I paid around $115 for a pair of $950 diamond earrings."
"HVAC guy here. Not really a secret but home owners sure think it is. CHANGE YOUR F@#KING FILTERS!!!"
"They put little weights in lipsticks to make them feel more expensive so they can charge more."
"Ex-farmer here. specifically, I worked at a “bio-certified” one. since there were no pesticides or herbicides used, every snail, every bug, every mouse had to be killed “manually” or by having a LOT of their natural predators around, ie. cats.
the reason? nobody buys tomatoes, or anything else with snail bites on them"
"When the health inspector shows up, a mad scramble happens in the back to clean the kitchen while they start the inspection in the dining/bar area of the restaurant."

Exactly why most Science is not Science.
no. You just don't have a clue how science works.
Actually I do, it's a method called the Scientific Method. It has very specific things you need to do to be considered science. Funny how they don't actually teach the Scientific Method in college.
This is perhaps even more true than you might think. Hitler worked with that principle and even said it.
nice tin foil hat, did you make it yourself?
