LPT: if you’re unsure of how to pronounce someone’s name and don’t want to offend them ask: “You’re name is so unique/beautiful/cool so I want to make sure I pronounce correctly.

LPT: Ask your coworkers/friends better questions about their vacations when they get back I stopped asking “how was your vacation?” and started asking “what was the best (or worst) thing you ate while you were on vacation?”. The former often leads to either overly vague or long winded stories. However the latter seems to really engage people and you get a better little anecdote of their time away. You get an idea of what kind of hol…

LPT Request: How do you ask a parent if their kid took something from your house? Basically my friend was watering my plants for me while I was out of town. She brought her two sons over with her. One of the boys was eating sunflower seeds (I could see it in the doorbell cam later). I had a bag with a brand new item of clothing in my room. Fast forward, when I got back, bag was gone, but sunflower seed shells were present. Wh…

LPT Request: How to ask how to do something simple at work when you’ve been there a while I think we’ve all had that moment of “at this point I’m afraid to ask” at work before. So I’m requesting a LPT on how to ask a supervisor how to do something that you should probably already know with how long you’ve been working there. Without looking like an idiot or making them wonder about your competency, of course. submitted by /u/P…

LPT: I’m getting more work handed, how should I ask for more money. Hey friends, I currently work as a principal IT consultant. Here’s what’s happening – I was hired in 2022 for the very specific skillset that I have. The job that I was hired for is for 1 customer only, who pays daily for 8 hours of my time. Even in my payslip, the project/customer is explicitly mentioned. I’ve been doing my job well, so on the …

It is quite hot and uncomfortable (30°C indoors – made a photo of thermometer). What is a reasonable % of refund should I ask for? (while in all other aspects the apartment is perfect). And if the host refuses – is there a way to escalate things via…

LPT: Make sure your paper prescriptions are on security paper. Make sure to ask for discounts and retroactive billing if you pay out of pocket for an otherwise covers prescription. 1) If you get written prescriptions, MAKE SURE they are on security paper. Yesterday I learned that some insurances, but especially the gov’t ones of Medicare/Medicaid cannot be filled without this. 2) if you absolutely need the medicine and the doctor’s office is closed, ask what discounts are available if you pay out of pocket. 3) Sam’s and C…

LPT Ask yourself why you want what you want and what does that look like. Tldr: Figure out why you want what you want because it helps develop a belief system rooted in self awareness. Thus allowing you to have the confidence in achieving the things necessary to have a life you find worth living. I believe a fair amount of people just live life aimlessly, unable to explain why they do or want most things. Thus leaving…

Can you ask an employer for a retroactive retirement contribution? I am super novice on the topic of investments and retirement. When I started my job a few years ago I received a form that would waive the typical two year waiting period for employer retirement contributions (they deposit 10% of my income into my 401k). I did have previous qualifying employment that would have waived this two year period, but I…

LPT: If ever you’re in a car with someone who is driving stupid and they won’t slow down or pull even though you ask, convince them you’re gonna puke. If you know someone who drives recklessly or if you happen to be in a car with someone who thinks they are auditioning for Fast & Furious 26, act like you are going to throw up. You make want to also start dry heaving for it to be more convincing. Even the most idiotic person doesn’t want puke on them or in their car. Edit: Pull over* submi…
