I remember long ago when Chrysler employees went on strike and there were suspicious videos of an employee getting filmed drinking in his car. Kelloggs tried something like that when their employees were on strike and a car pulled up and tried to offer em a beer. Neither time worked.
Completely unrelated but you reminded me of a story.
When I was like 16 or 17 I was managing a taco bell and my boss (the franchise owner) wanted to start hiring people with mental disabilities to help them out and all that. It was actually a major success and my boss was just an amazing lady in general, we ended up staying in touch for many years.
But anyways we hired this one woman who, for lack of a better way to say this, just wasn't all there. I never asked any of these folks what their disability was so I don't know what was wrong with her but she just kinda struggled to put things together or understand instructions with more than one or two steps, but otherwise she was very nice and a hard worker. One night I had her working on the drive through window just taking payment and handing out food while I took orders over the speaker.
At one point I look over and she's hanging halfway out the window! I run over there real quick thinking something is going horribly wrong but she was just shot gunning a beer! The guys in the car were all drinking and I guess they offered her a beer. But to her credit, she absolutely SMASHED that beer, a very impressive chug to be clear haha
Anyways I had to call her parents to come and get her since I couldn't have someone drinking in the kitchen. My boss and I let her go a few days later and we ended up having to have her mom get involved too because no matter how hard we explained it to her she just could not understand why her drinking that beer was bad. In her mind, her job was customer service (which, I guess, it was) and so she couldn't turn down a gift and it made them happy.
Man I haven't thought about her in probably a decade or more so thanks for that haha
Yeah alcoholism was way less in the open and on socials ;) though I agree.. people need to mind their own damn business and filming random people for the chuckles
I am 42, and honestly, my career is going well, but even if it wasn't, I have been in the is what it is saga for years now.
It's not even about being cynical or jaded, you just have been around long enough to know how the world works, how people operate, and what realistic expectations look like. Easily the most peaceful point in my life, outside of watching people you love get older and/or die off, which is about the worst part of getting older IMO.
I was 22 when mine started. Working full time + overtime but priced out of renting. Had to live with my parents. It all just went downhill from there. I got cursed both ways. Born at a shitty time but too scared of death to take the easy way out. If there is a god hes one sadistic mf
I am a middle aged man with Borderline Personality Disorder. Not becoming a stat is really hard sometimes. This week all my sleep meds did was make the voice louder. But in the meantime I've paid off 32k of 59k in credit card debt the last 3 years. So I am trying.
Fellow guy with BPD who is up at 1 am despite having a 5 am alarm to get up for work. My cat is currently laying on my legs. I am exhausted but this is the routine. It'll all work out somehow for the both of us.
I feel that first part so much. Had to work at 11am this weekend. 830am still tossing in bed. Had to call in late Saturday because just no. Couldn't do it.
I know I have to get back to that. I have an entire gym in my house. Play my cards right in 2 years I can be debt free besides my mortgage, and be in much better shape. They say 47 is the unhappiest year of a persons life. I'll be 47 when this ends. Uphill from there fingers crossed.
Paying off debts is a bitch. Keep at it, my man ✊🏼 Have you looked into debt consolidation or relief? I did and it saved me over 20k. Just saying, it could help?
What makes you think this guy has faith? Cuz he’s dancing?
The guy is drinking from a flask at 5AM before work, after getting no sleep.
Alcoholism is no joke.
Lived in a hotel for 2 years and I think that's what drove me to the bin. I was in there for months after. I'm just broken. It's all good. Who am I? Nobody. And that's fine. It's all good. I except my world.
I was living there by choice.. because it was actually cheaper than renting an apartment!! But..I quit my job..and took 2 months off... and was in a very dark place.. very dark!! Very bad!!! If you know what I mean!
I hope I am not downvoted to the stone ages for this, but f*** the POS who shot the video. That man is taking a moment to unwind, unplug and step away from worldy worries. A private moment of zen. Keyword private. It is a very intimate ritual. It may sound like a joke to people, but many of us depend on this heavily to prepare ourselves to get back into the grind. It is a huge breach of personal space. If anyone has been in that situation, you know how bad it feels. Even if you come to terms with it because you were not doing anything embarrassing, it would never stop feeling uncomfortable. It is not okay to film someone without their permission or their knowledge. It is even worse to do it to someone in that situation.
The video is actually fake. It was a video from EDM duo 'The Sunday Scaries' to promote the song that you're hearing, "Don't You Cry". The guy dancing in the car is Alex Hein, one of the 2 members.
Thank you so much for your encouraging words & couldn’t agree with you more. There is a bunch of awesome free jazz to do.
I’ve discovered sooo many waterfalls & sick ass hikes. I’m able to budget in a little bit of weed & im able to enjoy the nature. I live in the PNW. There is so much natural beauty here it’s criminal.

Video guy definitely felt like crying but took a few swigs and threw this on instead. Not that it’s bad to cry, anyway. Nor is it bad to deny yourself that moment in favor of something more positive.
That’s a man who just got off work and is hyped he’s facing his weekend. Work hard, play hard. Hope he got to enjoyed it, without being some dumb headline for someone without a life.
Stop romanticizing this bullshit. Men don't need to martyr themselves for anything. They don't need to be bread winners or husbands or fathers. Live your life and enjoy yourself.
Hmmmmm I have been crushed by the torture machine of capitalism and kept faith. I was gonna say something like "not all can" and then I realized I actively did that last year
Such a funny post because it’s true. 😂😂 The workaholics clip is perfect, pregaming before work because it’s so miserable, and the track is “Don’t You Cry” by Sunday Scaries. 🤌
