15 of the worst parts of the jobs I've had

Original prompt: What's the worst part of your job? Also, I'm pretty sure I've done something like this before... Being hit on by old men Being asked what men were there from my job Swear words appearing in an email after I'd done significant work to help them My job being referred to as "not a real job" Rules being enforced unevenly Being underappreciated Being underpaid Having my outfit be gossiped about Benefits being taken away My efforts to grow being thwarted Not being given opportunities to advance my career Problematic boss Having a boss I didn't click with professionally Returns Having people tell me they'll just buy the book on Amazon after I'd spent significant time helpin them (Prompt provided by Brianna Aaron) "typing" by Kiran Foster .  Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0) .

Yo-yo in Tierra del Fuego

This is a slightly tweaked version of a story my grandmother Helen told my mom and aunt back in 1989. I've edited it a bit, but it is mostly a straight oral history with some names changed. I made a few notes when I got confused on names, but otherwise I'm removed from the story. This also took way longer than 15 minutes, but oh well.  Since I don't want it to be officially published, you can find a link to the Google doc here:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xURfYBBT2K3KSinZ7gdRAZqotqZvuw6QaPB713C8iSA/edit?usp=sharing   (Prompt by me) "Cities_of_Tierra_del_Fuego" by Geo Swan

90 Day Fiance season 9, episode 16

Time for unhappiness Bilal's daughter is so cute This dress looks too big for Shaeeda Wow Shaeeda can't hide her disappointment Wow. Bold to say that you did a different look cause Shaeeda didn't know what she wants when she specifically asked for something else Oh it was a joke Wow that is a lot of change and travel for Thaís Ah Patrick has some "siblings" Flipping off the boat seems so dangerous I would go down that slide though Uh Thaís, not sure Patrick's friends are the right people to vent to either Oop Thaís, this is a lot to spill I think it's good to invite Bini's family since they'll just be there virtually and thus can't throw wine in Ari's face I like Ari's dress Oop Yve's friend was a runaway bride This is a nice place for Jibri and Miona Reverend Grams To be fair, "Why not?" isn't the best reason to get married, Jibri Jibri, your parents have jobs and can't just "drop everything" at the drop...
