Right, so leaving jobs off your resume is probably not a good idea. Year-long gaps in your employment history will get you passed on, as well.

So if you're keeping off any jobs that you've worked at for less than 2 years, does that mean you lie about dates to cover up the gaps?

Religion isn't the only arena that has charlatans, manipulators and con artists.

Which, if the retailer has any kind of a brain, will be followed by a polite request for a demonstration of how you were using said tool when it broke. They know what to watch for to identify scammers, trust me.

I believe a fair and reasonable restocking fee is absolutely justified when customers try to game the system. Having worked in several retail establishments over the years, I can tell you that this sort of behavior is rampant and I've seen lots of really shady shit from people, including:

  • Buying clothes for a special event and then trying to return them the next day.
  • Buying a tool to fix something in your home, and then trying to return it the next day.
  • Breaking an item that you purchased, and then wanting to return it, claiming that it is defective.

People are opportunists. If there are no controls in place to keep some people from doing shitty things, some people will do shitty things.

If ever there was a solid argument for not using corporate social media, this is it.

If there are no STI's involved, I fail to see how it's anyone else's business. Unless your partner decides to willingly divulge this info, of course.

I meant the type of event where nudity is present and expected.

There is always a social media propaganda campaign going on. On just about any subject you can think of. Is this really the first time you're noticing? You do know that governments, political parties and corporations employ people whose only job is to study and manipulate social media trends, right? What do you think a social media 'influencer' is?
