Top Signs Someone Has Zero Work Experience

We all know at least one person who's never worked a day in their life.
Even if they've never admitted this outright, it's pretty obvious once you get to know them – and it looks like I'm not the only one who thinks this. In one Reddit thread, people shared the telltale signs of someone who's never had a job, and it's wayyy too accurate.
I've rounded up the 18 best responses from the thread, below:
"They think you can drop work at any time to go on an adventure with them. Like, no dude, I need a heads up at LEAST two weeks in advance if you want me to do something with you during my work hours. And that's with me having a fairly lenient schedule. Some people need longer."
"They think that they can start in a leadership position at any time."
"They think a banana costs $10, which to them is cheap."
–Maximum_Pound_5633
"They're quick to say that someone should be fired. They don't understand that there may be extenuating circumstances or an actual reason something is being done a certain way."
"I fell to my knees crying at age 5 because my parents were divorcing. I fell to my knees crying when I was deployed and had to console an Afghan mother after her son was killed by a taliban rocket."
"They think 'just quit' is realistic advice for every job problem. Real workers know rent doesn't care about your feelings."
"They have never gone grocery shopping, paid bills themselves, driven themselves, etc.... Maybe Daddy's money would let them become president."
–OneTrueHutch
"They think lower classes are just lazy."
"They don't take accountability for their actions or situation. Everything is everyone else's fault."
"They are chronically really late to everything. Not just regularly 10-15 minutes late, but you can count on them to be regularly an hour or two late."
"They don't have an alarm clock."
–LowSprinkles3226
"They act shocked when you're tired after an 8-hour shift, treat weekends like a myth, and think 'just ask for a raise' is realistic advice."
"They have unrealistic expectations: they think they're above certain jobs or that success should come quickly and easily."
"They have a sense of entitlement and superiority. They refer to anyone who is in any type of service job or healthcare workers as 'the help.' They don't have much exposure to adversity, and think naively about the world."
"Based on the customer I've been doing landscaping for, they're indecisive. Nothing screams 'daddy's money' like having a $200,000 landscaping job done before deciding it didn't look right and having it redone. Honest wealth measures twice and cuts once."
–Ndsamu
"Everything is taken for granted. The car is acting weird? Just buy a new one. The appliance bill is high? Just get your house remodeled with more insulation and such."
"They consistently can't get along with other people."
"They don't understand the difference between having good choices and making good choices. Like, they're born on 3rd base and think they hit a home run based solely on their own efforts."

This Cemetery Groundskeeper Did An AMA, And People Had A LOT Of Questions, Here Are The Fascinating Things They Shared

Do you love all things weird, dark, and creepy? Subscribe to the That Got Dark newsletter to get your weekly dopamine fix of the macabre! It's a scary good time you won't want to miss. Recently, Reddit user odd_fisch, a cemetery groundskeeper, did a very interesting AMA on r/CemeteryPorn (they also shared the really pretty photo below!). And, unsurprisingly, a lot of people had a lot of questions. Here are the best and top-voted questions and then the answers from odd_fisch: 1."What percentage of graves get visited?" —finalgirl08 "Roughly 30% but it varies a lot depending on holidays." 2."Do you have many regulars who visit a lot? To visit particular graves, or to take in the whole place, typically?" —turtle2turtle3turtle "A few, some people come to walk, and some who visit regularly at graves. One gentleman has been visiting every weekend for years now. We also have a lot of Pokéstops LOL." 3."How common is it for people to piss and shit on the graves of people they hated in life?" —Famous_Suspect6330 "Well, I've never seen people shit but, umm, I have seen other unsavory acts, if you're smelling what I'm stepping in…" 4."Can share any particular incident or burial which made you laugh?" —OGadminOP "Nothing that made me really laugh. But my first week working there, prior to me living there, I was a pallbearer because there was no family in attendance so I and the other groundskeepers stepped in." 5."I volunteer in a previously abandoned cemetery. We have lots of cave-ins where caskets collapsed over time in the wooded sections. Do you experience this at yours? How do you handle it if so?" —isuzupup__ "We do have some cave-ins, and unfortunately, one of our best options is just to fill it in. Most of the graves that collapse are 150+ years old so they get few or no visitors." 6."When a headstone is broken or pushed over, who typically deals with that? Would it be you if you just happened upon it or would the family of the deceased have to ask for it to be fixed? I pick up headstones if I find them toppled or kicked over, and I always wondered who is supposed to do that since some of the ones I've picked up were seemingly like that for years, and no one picked them up. But I know I saw the groundskeepers. So I wasn't sure if it was a 'can't touch it till a report is made' type of situation or not." —Individual_Ad_6777 "Typically, it is the responsibility of the family. However, if we're able, we always fix what we can! Some are just too big to move even with four people on it." 7."Have you ever had any issues with visitors (living or ghosts, LOL)?" —DistinctBell3032 "The house I stay in is almost 200 years old — it's been used as a funeral home/office, storage, and some other stuff. Sometimes, the house feels a little spooky. But nothing unfriendly! Unfortunately, the living customers always present issues. Always complaints to be made. At the end of the day, it doesn't bother me!" Related: "That Sentence Sat In My Head For Months": Men Are Revealing The Most Hurtful Things A Woman Can Say To Them, And It's Actually Fascinating 8."How many high school metal bands have you caught trying to film music videos?" — GivemTheDDD "Not many LOL, but we do have people come in at night for 'séances.'" 9."Any problems or accidents with the people having 'séances?'" —HanhnaH "Problems? Yes. Accidents? No. Mainly, they tend to leave trash, candles, and other items." 10."I was in a graveyard with my daughter yesterday. We met an older gentleman who was mowing a section of the lawn/graves. He saw us walking and pointed to the stone a little ways away and said, 'That one's mine.' Being certain he wasn't a ghost, how often do families preplace a stone and do maintenance? I'm guessing his family of yesteryear is buried there. It was a tiny cemetery, under 20 rows." —fugensnot "Preplaced stones are a great money-saving option and take a lot of stress off of your family when that time comes! It very well could've been his stone, especially if there was no death date!" 11."Is your job well compensated?" —alwayssearching2012 "It is! Room and board are provided, and although it's mostly volunteer work, anything after 20 hours is paid!" 12."Have you ever seen a ghost in your cemetery before? I think that is the question that everybody wants to know the most." — International-Sea561 "No, not in the cemetery itself, but the house is a different story. I like to think I'm safe as I take care of the place in part!" Related: Here Are 50 Pictures That Make Me Grin Uncontrollably No Matter How Many Times I've Seen Them, In Case You Need Them 13."Do you ever feel afraid, especially at night, or are you pretty comfortable being there?" —Wintermoon54 "It feels more like home than any other place I've lived!" 14."Have you ever seen anyone ever accidentally fall into a grave?" —No_University6980 "No, but we joke about hiding in them pre-funerals (death jokes are a norm)." 15."What's the oldest grave there?" —Bleacherblonde "Dates into the late 1700s, it's barely legible due to erosion, but we have a record of it!" 16."For those old sites, since no one is around anymore to help maintain them, do you guys get together and help those out a little more?" —Oy_theBrave "Typically, yes. We knock out entire sections at a time, usually a couple of acres a day. We encourage people to come and maintain what they want to, but we knock out our stuff independently!" 17."Do you have a list of your favorite headstones? What is it about them that makes them you're favorite?" —crapatthethriftstore "I have a few I really like. Mostly, it's because of their interesting names, or because they're funny; we have a Nimrod McGruber. Poor guy. Some of the stones have nice sayings or cool engravings as well." 18."Have you ever been involved in an exhumation?" —genzgingee "No they are very uncommon!" 19."Do you assist with burials (like, set up those things that lower the casket)? What are the requirements to become a cemetery groundskeeper?" —CHAIFE671 "All I had to do was put in the work, and the opportunity arose for me to move to the cemetery! And we lay out burial sites and currently hire out for digging/ openings/closing. We're in the process of repairing and replacing a lot of stuff!" 20."I also work at a cemetery, primarily in the office, but I also help the grounds crew from time to time. What's the dumbest complaint you've heard about the way you keep your cemetery? For us, I'd probably say the lady who complained that our trees weren't trimmed pointy enough." —starwishes20 "Oh man, we just got one this Memorial Day, the local paper printed a piece from the VA saying we didn't allow any flags for the veterans. This simply wasn't true. We even had hundreds of them ready to be placed by anyone who wanted to! Sat them outside by the office and everything! We also placed a few around our veterans' monument near the entrance, so clearly, flags were not a problem." 21."Why do I see really old headstones with 'perpetual care' on them, yet they're cracked, toppled over, or broken? Doesn't perpetual care mean they paid so that if it ever broke, no matter how far into the future, it would be fixed? What happens when those old mausoleums start crumbling? Does anyone fix it, or will it just continue to fall apart? What if the mausoleum gets so bad that the coffin is exposed?" —Inevitable-Plenty203 "Mausoleums are typically family property. I can't speak for other cemeteries, but for us, when something like that happens, we file insurance and have stones replaced. Very old stones don't get replaced for a number of reasons — the perpetual care didn't exist at the time of the burial, likely was family responsibility, or it's simply so old that insurance won't do anything about it." 22."What do you do during a typical day?" —ImDeepState "Mowing, trimming, stick removal, and decoration removal (plastic decorations are hazardous in many ways)." "What's your favorite part about the job?" —Queenielauren "The peacefulness of it! It's quiet and living there gives me a lot of pride in it." You can read the original AMA on Reddit.

Teen Causes Family Feud After Choosing to Live with Her Former Stepmom Instead of Dad

An 18-year-old's father painted her as unstable and manipulative in the early days of his second marriage Years later, her stepmother realized the truth and worked to rebuild trust and support with the teen Now, the teen shocked her family by choosing to live with her ex-stepmom, sparking intense backlashA teen seeks support from the Reddit community after making the difficult decision to live with her former stepmother instead of her dad following their split. In a since-deleted Reddit post, the 18-year-old high school senior explains that things have been "weird at home for a while, but now everything's kind of blown up." 'My dad remarried when I was 14. His new wife had two kids from a previous marriage who were younger than me,' she explains. From the beginning, she describes her stepmother as 'polite, but cold,' never outright "rude," but always distant and reserved, especially when it came to her. 'She always seemed more relaxed and affectionate with her kids, which hurt, but I figured maybe that was just natural," she recalls. The poster goes on to say that whenever she entered a room, her stepmom would immediately stop laughing and look at her with suspicion, as if she were a threat to the family. 'For years I felt like I was walking on eggshells around her,' she admits, explaining how she tried everything she could to bridge the gap. 'I tried being friendly, helping out with her kids, giving her space, etc., but it never felt like I was truly welcome in my own home," she says. Despite the pain, she eventually became accustomed to the coldness. But everything changed in the past year, when her stepmom's attitude took a surprising turn. 'I don't know exactly what triggered it, but Stepmom started acting… different. More present. Kinder,' she explains. Her stepmom began to check in on her, invite her to join family activities, and even defend her when her dad would criticize her. 'That's when things started to click between us,' the teen says, reflecting on how their relationship began to heal. The truth behind her stepmom's initial distance came to light after she overheard a heated argument between her dad and stepmom. She learned that her dad had "told Stepmom a lot of stuff about me when they first got together—things like I was manipulative, dishonest, moody, lazy, emotionally unstable.' Her stepmom later apologized. 'She realized how wrong she'd been and how my dad was constantly nitpicking, belittling, and controlling, and how she never saw it clearly until she started watching how he treated me vs. everyone else,' the poster shares. After the divorce two months ago, her father assumed the teen would stay with him. But being 18, she had the freedom to choose. 'I told him I wanted to live with Stepmom,' she says, a decision that set off a wave of backlash from her family. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer​​, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Her father accused her of 'choosing a woman who never even wanted me,' and claimed she was 'turning my back on my real family.' The criticism didn't stop there, as her grandparents called her 'ungrateful,' and family friends accused her of being disloyal and 'just trying to hurt" her father. Despite the pressure, she stands by her decision, explaining that her stepmom "does want me now. She apologized, made an effort, and treats me like a human being.' She points out that her stepmom is the one who comes to her school competitions and helps her whenever she asks. 'My dad hasn't taken a real interest in me in years," the teen adds. "She listens. She makes space for me. She showed me what it feels like to be safe." Read the original article on People

Woman Says She Will No Longer Participate in Her Boyfriend's Family Events After Several Slights: ‘I Don't Feel Welcome'

A woman shared on Reddit that she and her boyfriend have been kept at a distance by his family The woman was upset that her boyfriend's sister-in-law didn't postpone her pregnancy announcement for a few days so that the couple could be present The woman now refuses to attend any family events due to feeling slightedA woman claims her boyfriend's family has kept her at a distance — and now she doesn't want to have anything to do with them. In a post on Reddit's "Am I the A------" forum, the 31-year-old woman detailed her fractured relationship with her boyfriend's family. The couple has been together for almost three years, and in the beginning, his family members 'were kind and really put in effort to get to know me," the OP (original poster) said. "His sister (27F) and his sister-in-law (29F) would text me to plan dinner together, we'd work out together, etc. The feeling was mutual," she continued. But then things began to change. 'Slowly, I've noticed them both distancing themselves from me with no apparent reason to my knowledge,' she wrote. According to the OP, her boyfriend's brother once reached out to ask if the couple wanted to go to Hawaii with him and his wife. The OP and her boyfriend took a few hours to consider and then said yes. 'His brother responds back saying 'never mind, we decided to go with a smaller group' essentially just removing us since everyone else was still going,' she claimed. 'They went on their trip and blocked me and my bf from seeing their social media stories (to this day we're still blocked but haven't spoken up about it to them). There was never an apology or an attempt to communicate what happened, it was just swept under the rug.' The OP also mentioned another incident in which the family had texted them to come over on a Thursday night. She and her boyfriend couldn't attend, but told the family they would see them that Sunday, which was Father's Day. 'The sister texts us a video that night that the SIL/brother are announcing their first pregnancy and that we missed it," she wrote. "There was no attempt to reschedule the announcement so that we could all be present for it. They could've easily said the news on Father's Day, just days later.' Feeling upset and slighted, the woman had a conversation with her boyfriend and expressed her 'concerns that his family is making it clear they don't value our presence." "Whenever we go over to the family home, it feels like everyone goes quiet and dilutes their personality until we leave," she noted. The conversation ended with the OP telling her boyfriend that she will no longer attend his family's events, nor will she congratulate the sister-in-law on her pregnancy due to her "standoffish" behavior. 'I will not go where I don't feel welcome. Today he went to the family home alone and I stayed at home," the OP finished her post, asking fellow Redditors, "AITA [am I the a------]?" For many users, the answer was a resounding yes. Some suggested that she was wrongly perceiving certain situations as slights. 'You can't expect someone to postpone their pregnancy announcement — they invited you, and they shared the video afterwards," one person wrote. "They are allowed to keep that separate from Father's Day, and to share the information with people separately. And refusing to congratulate his SIL is just churlish. It is almost always better to build bridges than burn them." Others questioned whether the woman was leaving facts out of her post to explain why there is a perceived distance between her and the boyfriend's family. 'This sounds a bit like a situation where there are missing reasons somewhere,' a reader said. 'The expectation that they postpone pregnancy announcement is too much." The same reader suspected that the family 'slowly distanced themselves for some reasons you are choosing to not analyze.' However, other commenters sympathized with the OP — particularly regarding the Hawaii invite that was rescinded — and encouraged a direct conversation.

'I'd want closure, and if I have to make family dinner awkward for everyone to get that closure, I will,' one person wrote. 'Then let them know that since they don't see you as family, that you will not be treating them as such and simply cut them off.' Read the original article on People
