    Gotta love that the meme is pointing out how under appreciated the teacher is but then refers to the teacher as “it”.

    The disrespect is real.

    Someone needs to teach me this trick of buying pizza with the pizza’s own money.

    “Dominoes hates this one weird trick.”

    I once bought little prize things for my team. Nothing special, stress balls in funny shapes and things like that.

    Got pulled into the office for using my own money on that one lol

      I got a job once at this little video production company, and everyone was always trying to find pens. I’m pretty sure this one smart ass there was stealing them just because he thought it was funny that no one could ever find one…

      Anyway, it was probably my second week on the job and I got pissed off because there were like 10 cups that were supposed to have pens in them at all times and I couldn’t find a single one, so I went to the grocery store across the street and bought like 3 boxes of pens and filled all the cups again with the warning that these were my pens that everyone was welcome to use but if they all went missing I would start keeping them locked in my car. Everyone seemed happy to have pens again.

      I got hauled into the managers office 2 hours later and questioned as to why I spent my own money on office supplies, why I didn’t just requisition more pens, told never to do that again and handed a check for $11 for “stationary supplies”.

      That was the last time I ever bought anything for anybody at work ever again lol

        Haha yes! You did the right thing though. It’s all about timing. I knew my team needed the dumb prizes that week/month for the extra goodwill. You knew everyone needed goddamn pens.

        How long would it have taken to get that done going through management?

        “So I spoke to manager X and they said we’ll have pens in a couple weeks” doesn’t exactly inspire anything.
