I wish Commission jobs were not a thing.

Are you talking about commissioned work such as: I draw you a picture and you pay me for it, or working for commission such as I only get paid if I personally sell something; competing with co-workers for the sale?

This one.

I don't think I could do a commission based job if my life depended on it. I cannot sell things to people. I don't have the social skills or whatever the hell it takes to do it. I feel so uncomfortable trying to force something on someone, especially when I can tell that they are getting annoyed with me. I worked at a bank for a while and they were super pushy on making us offer home equity loans and credit cards. I absolutely hated that job. I think we got some sort of kickback but I honestly can't remember, it's been too long.

Ok then yes I agree it sucks.

I had an opportunist employee try to slide his way into a sale while the guy helping me stepped away for a moment to get documentation for me to look at. I knew this store paid in commission, and refused the new guys "help" as I stated that I was waiting for the other guy to get back. He was trying to screw his co-worker out of a sale.

How come butlers call male children "master" but male adults "mister"?

Also is that just a butler thing, or do maids do it too?

That is the point of CBT. It trains your mind to change the way you think. So if you worry, just start not worrying about an issue. I have done it and I rarely worry about anything now, and I have never taken medication. It works, you just have to do it and be patient.

You need to get a lock for your toilet lid.

Oh hell naw... that wouldn't fly with me. That's equivalent to a repair guy taking it upon themselves to raid my fridge or to rummage through my wife's underwear drawer. Just inexcusable. Sorry if you need to take a dump, there's a service station and McDonald's right down the street.

I know I'm not supposed to but I flush all kinds of stuff down my toilet and have never had a stoppage. Leftover food (including rice and pasta), cat waste (and cat litter sometimes), candy wrappers, bucketfuls of dirty mop water and disposable wipes - nothing stops this thing. You guys just need to install better toilets

One thing I've always hated about traveling was the poor quality of the toilets in my relative's homes. Half the time they were broken or had such poor pressure that they would stop up if you sneezed loud enough. It was a nightmare.

Wipes aren’t biodegradable and clog up the sewer system. Four billion per year in taxpayer dollars are spent on someone going down there and clearing all that garbage out of the sewers. It’s people like you causing our taxes to go up!

I've been going to therapy for years and nothing changed other than figure out obessivly what I want to talk about. at this point after a decade I don't think my my will change no matter how patient I am.

LMAO. Has anyone told Cottonelle, the makers of those disposable wipes? Or maybe Amazon, Walmart or the thousands of other stores should stop selling the dozen or so other brands of flushable personal hygiene products they sell. How about that really thick toilet paper? Unless you live in a Third World country, you don't have to worry about garbage in the sewers. We have the best waste management plants in the world

Can’t you read? I just said it’s bad enough that they need to send people in the sewers to unclog it. You’re ignoring the important parts. It’s costing Americans, $4,000,000,000 each year to clean out American sewers because of these products. Are you unable to comprehend simple English?
Unless you consider America a "third world country"

I kinda want that job. Walking through the sewers decked out in a hazmat suit, armed with a giant stick cleaning up disposable poop rags. Throw in a couple of fatbergs, too. I would, without question, wear a yellow cape with the biohazard sign embroidered on it.
