Once, when I was walking home from the bus station, I dropped a lighted cigarette onto a bridge near my apartment. It was a hot, dry Southern summer, and the tinder ignited - I called the fire department, but by the time they got there, the bridge was gone in a cloud of smoke.

Heard a staff tell a partner they were a moron for selecting that person to be laid off...then proceeded to linger around the office crying and screaming for a good 2-3 hours.

The last act of an outgoing intern was to clog all the toilets on our floor. It wasn’t provable but I knew it was him. The boss was a real jerk so I’ve got to hand it to him for a job well done.

Did he clog it with TP or his own work?

Sounds like OP is playing the blame the intern game 🤔

Do folks have trusted/valuable resources for researching luxury family travel with young kids? I don’t care the cost, I want to know what is most convenient and nice for my family. Feel like generally most resources are geared to either a) families on a budget (I don’t care which hotel is best bang for buck w/mid breakfast) or b) couples / adults only travelers. Do folks just stick to true five star hotel concierges for help? Do folks just book luxury tours like A&K? How do folks research?
