Used to work for a company where I automated everything.

(made the mistake of going above and beyond and helping my colleagues and was rewarded with an annual 15 cent raise to $15.15 for taking months of work and turning it into an hour).

I also had that same manager who gave me my shitty raise get pissy with me when I had no work to do and when I asked for work, she told me to figure it out.

So I worked roughly 30 minutes every day, and sat on my ass browsing imgur and reddit for my entire shift, because hard work came with punishments.

I did the same exact work as my colleagues, I just did it ridiculously faster than them because I was the only one who knew code and was licensed with the marketing software we used.

"hello police? I've just been robbed"

"the perpetrator? Oh its you guys".

Well I never claimed America was civilized.

They gave me a paper breaking down the fees which were all bullshit. And granted this was maybe 12 years ago so I don't remember clearly but I remember laughing at how expensive the granola bar and pouch of apple juice were. Something like $50

Edit: just remembered, the granola bar and juice was labeled as a meal rather than a kindergarten snack and juice.

Did you know you could get arrested for riding your bike on the wrong side of the road?

I sure as hell didn't. Cop even dropped by my house and dropped my bike and ipod off for "since I was so nice and did everything he asked"

Spent about 10 hours in a cell like you described. It was so crowded people were sitting on the floor still touching each other. I've never felt more claustrophobic before that day.

I ended up with a super cheap ticket (like $100) and over $1,200 in fees for sitting in a holding cell. They even charged me for the apple juice and granola bar that I declined.
