Later: why didn't you do the thing I asked?

The secret is: it's always your fault.

Oh I know. When you're raised by a narcissist with an obsession for controlling people, EVERYTHING is your fault. Never theirs.

Hey, did you know I'm responsible for my dads marriage failing, my school (a catholic elementary school) rejecting me (an athiest) for MC Hammer dancing in church (I was acting out a death scene portraying the lies of the church killing me), the holocaust, the dinosaurs dying, getting cancer, being fat as a 5 year old, my mom attempting suicide and going into a coma, having hearing problems, being born with the umbilical cord wrapped around my neck, my dad running himself over with his truck on a day I wasn't home, cats invading our home.....now granted I fully welcomed it, but I had nothing to do with it. Three of kittens LOVED me! And then he sent them to a kill shelter, because the no kill shelter was a 10 minute longer drive.

So yeah. I'm used to everything being my fault.

I feel you, my mom was the same way.

Same here, good luck you all!

Sometimes there are no words... only gif.

Sir / Ma'am, this is a Wendy's.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago

And the frosty machine being broken is my fault, I'm assuming?

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 1 points 7 months ago

Even so, it is Wend-ception, Wendy's all the way down...

Bit too specific there, buddy.

It's based on real life.

The 5th panel should be a copy of the 2nd one.

“Per our discussion…”

Mysteriously, your performance review is suddenly much worse, citing completely unrelated reasons.

Been there, seem that. I put it in writing that I won't do what boss asked because it would be illegal. Was never approached about this topic again.

This manager at least decides to park it rather than doubling down which honestly already puts her better than many.
