Eh, you can always pass on shit like this to a supervisor or manager.

Even if you can’t directly contact/locate one at that exact minute, you put the person on hold until you can.

I’ve worked in several call centers and you’re not gonna get written up/fired if the call record shows someone on the line clearly stating they are LEO and they require immediate info.

It’s something called being “above my pay grade.”

Not all folks working at entry level jobs are there because of a shitty economy or bad luck. There’s a fair percentage of people who just aren’t smart enough to get any further… and then some who can’t even perform at that level.

Right… in some social circles or cultures it’s a part of a long tradition and is fully expected and welcomed.

When I got married we had (between savings and what was gifted by family to spend on our marriage celebration) about 20k.

We spent about 5k on the wedding (attire and rings included) and the rest on the Honeymoon.

The ceremony was on the beach totaling 30 minutes, and then a reception at a nearby restaurant.

We had people have the option of RSVP’ing to one or the other or both.

We were both on the same page about doing a quick ceremony and spending the bulk on the Honeymoon… 10 years later, it was and still is the best “vacation” I ever had.

No financial worries about spending and having a bunch of expensive random experiences…like getting a penthouse suite at a 5-star hotel for one of our nights there (and then going back to the cozy B&B for the rest of the trip) just to see what that was like once in our lives.

I personally don’t get the “huge, long-ass, and expensive” wedding thing.

No one likes them… except for the people charging for services and space, the couple and maybe the parents of the couple.

I’ve been to a few of these and they are just horrible. I don’t care that you rented a horse drawn carriage and 20 doves, but it’s like 90 degrees outside and now everyone has to sit around and wait because it’s gonna rain for the next hour.

I love going to backyard weddings. There’s friends/family… maybe a 10 minute ceremony and then you hang out for several hours and leave the happy couple to their future lives.

I had neighbors (in a rental, thank God) in SoFl who were completely broke and a little “off.”

I thought the place was vacant when we moved in, but apparently they had been living there for years with no electric or water. They had a small hole in their roof when we moved in, which had progressed in 2 years to a 6 foot opening, inhabited by a family of ducks.

Right before we moved (after 4 years), they finally got evicted and someone bought the house at auction and flipped it.

I feel bad for whoever bought that house as although the flipper put a new roof on, they didn’t do a gut renovate and God only knows how much water/mold had saturated that place given it rained daily for six months out of the year.
