Some jobs, it would seem, lend themselves to one dumb joke or another. You’d figure that people would just assume that you’d heard them all.
You’d be wrong.
“When you’re clearing someone’s empty plate and ask if they liked their meal. “Oh, no, I hated it!”
Can’t believe this hasn’t been mentioned yet. I used to hear it literally 10x a day when I was working in restaurants.”
“Some guy during his abdominal ultrasound: “so is it a boy or a girl??”
cue fake laugh and internal eye roll”
“When I delivered mail: “you can keep the bills” or some other comment about not wanting the bills.”
“When i worked Retail,
Me: “Can I get you anything else?” Customer: “Yea, a million dollars”
Now usually i just pulled the fake customer service laugh and let it go, but if it’s a cute girl, I once said this…
“We sell mirrors on Aisle 7, I’m sure you’ll find it there”
“If something doesn’t scan at the register “that means it’s free, right?”
“My boss’ name is Josh, everyday he says, “I’m just Joshing ya!” Every. Day.”
“I’m an operator in a power plant.
“Oh my God are you Homer Simpson lololololololololol! Do you want a donut hahahaha!”
“Work in a morgue. “Oh people are just DYING to come see you!!” To which I respond “Obviously. I’m delightful.” I also was once asked how things were going in the morgue and I replied “Lively” as it was pretty busy that day. They thought it was so hilarious and now 2 years later they won’t let me forget that I referred to a morgue as “lively” one time.”
“Can you turn off the suck button”
Recording engineer. Haha, I get it, you’re not a very good musician, now let’s take it from the top because you’re ignoring the click.
And the joke that the engineers always make is, “Yeah, that was ok, but this time maybe sing it like it’s a record”.
“I’ve had an influx of people moving their insurance from other carriers and they always try to make some witty response about how the company they are with weren’t working out for them. For example, if they had Nationwide, I swear to god every single one of them says “Nationwide wasn’t on MY side!” Or if they had Progressive, they say something about how Flo didn’t use her price checker tool for them or with Allstate they would say they weren’t in good hands. (These are just examples)
In reality, though, your prices were increased because you’re a shitty driver and think you’re entitled to lower rates when you have 3 pages worth of MVR violations.”
“Preschool teacher (in sweden).
“Must be nice to just play all day long, right? Hahaha!”
Let’s put it this way. You and your SO are sitting in an apartment with 2 bedrooms. Suddenly someone opens the door and 18 screaming three year olds comes running in. Two adults in a small area with 18 children.. How much playing do you think you have time for?”
“I’m a salesman who’s name happens to be Jake.
I hear on a daily basis
“Oh you quit your job at State Farm? Why?”
Or
“Why aren’t you wearing khakis?”
I laugh along most times because I want the sale. But I’m always internally screaming. Don’t get me started on my last name.”

We all want happy lives, right? I mean, obviously there are going to be ups and downs and highs and lows, but what about the long stretches of even? Humdrum? Every day? Those are the times when being happy matters the most, I say.
So, let’s check out 10 rules (according to psychologist Mikhail Efimovich Litvak) to help you get – and stay – there!

Or the easiest one. The road to happiness and success may not be straight – it’s important to remember this when it feels like your own path is doubling up on itself. You can still be headed in the right direction, given some luck, patience, and perseverance.

According to Viktor Frankl, happiness, joy, and success are simple side effects of a well-organized life. You have to perform daily acts that make you experience and reach happiness, joy, and success during your routines.

Giving yourself something to work for, save for, etc can be like setting the focus on your camera. With something to keep an eye on, you’re more likely to keep going, and to get what you’re after.

Every person you come across is a human being with their own backgrounds and views. They’re all fighting a battle. Never act like you’re better than them or that your problems are bigger.

Live your life for yourself – if you waste time trying to prove other people wrong, their opinions become more important than your own.

We are defined by our actions, not by our words. If you say you’re going to do something or want to do something, at least start down the path. It will make you happy – and other people will respect you for it.

Mature people can use time alone to self-reflect, and understand that another person won’t be able to make them happy – only you can do that, for yourself.

There’s no better way to shed your grudges and free yourself from the negative feelings than by finding success doing something you love. Simple, right?
Photo Credit: Pixabay
Your life will be happy and in balance when what you want, can, and must do are the same. Bottom line? The only thing you must do is work on yourself. The rest will follow.

You have to face the barriers you’ve set for yourself that stop you from growing and changing. Once you do, you’ll be able to move forward with a version of yourself that you’re able and willing to face in the mirror every day.

No one likes to get a bad egg, but it can be hard to tell how fresh the last few in the container are (or are not). It turns out that all you have to do is drop them in a bowl of water. Fresh eggs will sink, bad eggs will float. If they do a little side-sink, maybe give them a hard boil instead of eating them over-easy.

How many times have you been dying to take a water or smoothie in the car only to find the travel cups in use or in the dishwasher (or missing, if you have kids!)? Well, no more – just put a hole in some Glad Press N Seal wrap, stick in a straw, and go on your way!

Simple trick: a paper towel on top of your salad lettuce before sealing the container can help them stay crisp up to a week. You’ll just need to replace the paper towel every few days as it absorbs the excess moisture.

We’re al keen on rinsing away the pesticides, dirt, and various other specks from our fresh produce, but you don’t need to buy anything special. A few teaspoons of baking soda in 1-2 cups of water will do fine – dump it in a spray bottle and go to town.
You’ll still want to give them a final rinse afterward so nothing gets in the way of the fresh taste.

Flick the dry stem off the bottom at the grocery story. If there’s a brown patch underneath, put it back. If it’s bright yellow-green, take it home.

Many times, we reach for something to eat out of boredom as opposed to hunger. If you think that might be the case for you, pop in some gum first to see if your mouth just wants something to do.

We’ve all bought a pair of shoes on a whim because they’re super cute, only to admit after a single wear that they’re too tight. Instead of relegating them to the back of the closet, try shoving wet newspapers inside and waiting for them to dry.
