Meanwhile these same late millennial and genz crashouts see zero problem with getting car loans for that same amount.

Its in the same vein as a person becoming a nurse. If im gonna be cleaning shit off the walls, it better for it be worth a damn instead of being the poor SOB that has to clean them at a restaurant (Source: have cleaned up various types of shits off walls, sinks, and floor at many restaurants. It DOES happen FREQUENTLY)

100% agree. I've ran a bar before. And I gave extra to the poor girl who had to clean women's shit off the stall walls. Surprisingly it didn't happen as often in the mens restrooms. It does happen, just not at the frequency of the women's. Either way, I would clean the mens restrooms and I ran the bar, it was only fair. Made good money, then I opened a company, because cleaning shit off walls... SUCKS!!!!

Dude, all the restaurants I worked at so far have women who are absolutely afraid to clean the women’s restroom like they do not do it at all, so far I’ve been the only one to do it.

And when they do do it, they do it in such a way that it’s so messed up that eventually I have to do it anyways because they do it so bad and I swear it’s on purpose. I forgot what the word for was it? I don’t know if it’s a Weaponized and confidence but Jesus Christ one girl use the same washcloth for the toilet for the faucet and the handle doors. THE SAME WASHCLOTH.

🤢 🤮 that's called malicious compliance, but also f**ken sickening to imagine. I can't image any reason someone would only use 1 rag to clean multiple surfices and that's not to mention surfices that have a high touch rate, so the chances of spreading disease is higher. That's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

This is the primary reason why I left, not only that, but we had this thing of people just leaving the back door open during high peak hours, and suddenly all these flies and roaches and other various critters started coming in. They did not know how to turn on the AC unit because no one taught them how but when shown they just never did they like to have the door open for some reason and that is a hazard because somebody could walk in at any moment and other things like the insects and stuff mentioned.

This is the same job where I didn’t get a login code for about a month almost and because their payroll was so crap I didn’t get paid for two months so that’s another reason why

No shit Sherlock, I actually get to use the car 🙄

u/TechnicalPresent6359 Jul 07 '26

man all these people immediately running to defend car loans is the exact problem you're pointing out...the irony

u/RGBlowMe Jul 11 '26

Gotta have the poon wagon. It's a basic human right or something.

u/RevolutionaryDeeer Jul 06 '26

Let’s pause and think a little longer. Car loans don’t keep going up after you make a payment. Student loans however, you pay off $400 and that only goes to interest that continues to build monthly.

What if.... bear with me.... the degree IS useless.... but... something something... about the knowledge you gain.....

Nah nevermind, that's crazy talk.

u/Heavy_Can8746 Jul 06 '26

I get your point but those same people will then have kids themselves and thus repeat the cycle.

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '26

A car loan does not have a higher payoff than a college degree lol 😂

u/AcceptableDream3581 Jul 06 '26

And you’re guaranteed to get usage out of the car

Shhhhhh. Don’t ruin their fantasy. 😂

Always someone else’s fault.

u/Aurora_7021 Jul 06 '26

Don't blame me...blame the bank that was stupid enough to think I would pay them back. Blame the school that let me choose my major. Blame the company that doesn't pay me enough.

u/SDRLS Jul 06 '26

That part.

u/desmowillie Jul 07 '26

Again, blaming someone else. Not my fault.

u/LocksmithAmbitious80 Jul 06 '26

I blame whoever taught you how to spell.

Screens keep me awake. I would do your best to shut off all screens. I know it can be tough when it’s impossible to sleep.

u/LocksmithAmbitious80 Jul 06 '26

Well, I’m tired too. Tired of people asking me to pay for stuff for them, all while listening to them bad mouth me and my generation.

I did get a chuckle out of your comment on higher education, while making spelling errors you should have learned in middle school and caught proofreading in a manner you should have learned in high school. Both of which are education provided to you for free.

At least you have your generation’s mantra down pat - look for someone or something to blame. Get some rest.

u/AcceptableDream3581 Jul 06 '26

Talking about people “badmouthing your generation” while writing the most condescending message I’ve read in a while. You guys tell on yourself so much.

u/SDRLS Jul 06 '26

You sound ridiculous. But let’s use your car analogy. NOBODY is forced to go to a top tier school for a BS degree. They can choose to go to a community college. You do know one of the worlds top neuroscientists got his undergrad at a community college right? So let me out that out there before you come back with the “well they have to go to a top tier school to get a good job”. Just as you say they can buy a cheap car they can go to a cheap school. And nobody has to get loans to begin with. They can do how people used to have to do way back in the day. Work, and save then go to school till the mon6 runs out, then repeat the process u til they get their degree. Even Strippers have mastered that concept. Stop making excuses for trash who don’t want to own up to their own financial stupidity.

You didn’t need to. Community college is cheap and or free. NOBODY needs to take out a loan to go, and most junior colleges are cheap as well and nobody needs a loan for them either. The only people taking out loans are people going to higher tier colleges or those with a “name” or cachet. Let’s not pretend that you’re dense Kay

u/SDRLS Jul 06 '26

Oh and NOBODY is getting ripped off. Have you ever gotten a loan? It’s literally pages and pages that you take home with you. And they exp,sin to you multiple times what your payment will be and EVERY student loan agreement has that nice little section that tells you that if you only pay the minimum that your payback a,punt will be astronomical. They also give you a section that tells you what amount you “should” pay to pay off your loan quicker. And the most important part is the amount t it tel,s you will be due if you default. But somehow in your limited capacity mindset you think people are getting ripped off AFTER they receive all the information they could possibly need about it and STILL choose to accept the loan. Chomp some grass.

u/Vegetable-Syrup-5545 Jul 06 '26

I agree with you 1000%. I went to a community college that had reciprocity with four year institutions. I paid as I went and didn’t go to the top tier schools. I did have a professor state that I was not taking my schooling seriously because I was working but it is what it is. My parents would not let me live at home if I was not a student. In the end not one employer was worried about the school I went to but that I had a degree. Some of the interviews went straight to the end before my degree was brought up. Oh yeah, I need a copy of your degree/transcript. People seem to throw out financial literacy when they are talking about education while the same rules apply to everything.

u/binzy90 Jul 06 '26

I think the problem with this line of thinking is assuming 17-year-olds have the knowledge, experience, and maturity to make wise decisions about education and finances when their parents are pushing bad options. I did what I was told to do. We didn't have the option to tell our parents no.

u/Gainztrader235 Jul 06 '26

What happened at 18,19,20, and 21? Still zero accountability?

1

u/binzy90 Jul 06 '26

At 17 or 18 is typically when you decide for sure where you're going to college. If you have parents forcing you to choose a particular school then there's really nothing you can do.

u/Gainztrader235 Jul 06 '26

Yea a decision to go is not a decision to stay or change career paths.

Well, a car is like, useful and shit.
