Boarded my flight from ATL to NYC and this woman (clearly a consultant) bats her eyelashes and asks a guy to put her overly stuffed roller bag in the overhead bin. If you can't lift it...check it!

I like lifting things for pretty ladies.

I have back problems and have to ask strangers to help me with my bag, and I actually hateeee it because it makes me look like this. Yes, could check it, but with traveling every week and waking up so early, the extra time checking adds up - especially when there's always a nice stranger. Again though, I have serious back issues, and I cringe every time I ask (I generally preface).

You don't know why she's asking for help so don't judge. I had surgery several months ago and could not work out so lost a lot of upper body strength. I hate asking people for help but on one of my first flights after my leave, I tried to hoist my bag up unsuccessfully, I managed to stop my bag from falling - with my face and sported a giant bump on my head to the client site. So no more pride, I can't lift but I also can't afford to lose my luggage so I'll ask for help if it not offered.

I am short and sometimes find it difficult to put it up or bring it down without knocking off people on the way. So stop judging when someone needs help coz I ain't spending on checking a small bag every time 😑

Thanks P1. Hope you feel better as well. Almost green lit for upper body exercises. Which is great bc winter clothes are heavier.

That was me - packed for 2 weeks in that thing, mad I didn't ask you?

Is it irrational for me to get an “ick” for this?

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom. As we were leaving they said “thanks for lunch” — I was hoping they’d at least ask to Venmo me half as a kind gesture. Following lunch we grabbed dessert. I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
