"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Hey all...im a pharmacy student and i work (or worked) at a local retailer CVS. Yesterday i was leaving with a bottle of water that i thought i paid for but i guess i forgot to pay for it. The manager asked me for my recipt when i was leaving and i told her that it was in the pharmacy (but we couldnt check because the pharmacy was already closed) so the next day she asked me for the recipt again and we couldnt find it...blah blah ends up i got fired from my job..they said that there not gonna press any chargers tho. im still scared...have any of u ever been fired from a job before? and do u guys know how it could effect my future??
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I've been fired from jobs for poor job performance during their probationary period; never for any bad behavior, but it's never a good feeling.

It's been estimated that one out of three businesses which fail, fail because of employee theft. The estimates are that employee theft is a $10-80 billion a year "industry", which would be upwards of three times the size of the oil industry. Just yesterday I was trying to verify someone's loss of income and discovered not only were they fired from their employer for stealing but that they were out on bail for felony grand theft, presumingly from their job. So yeah, no wonder why you weren't let off the hook, it's a systemic problem which employers face.

The job will show up for any job that you apply for in which the company performs a background check.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

That depends how long you worked there and what was the reason for termination of employment. If you put that on the resume they might want refrences to call and check. If I were you I wouldn't mentioned I worked there.

As for you getting fired the circumstances are kind of strange since they never presented to you with any kind of proof. I wouldn't worry too much about affecting your future since there were never any charges pressed against you to the police and that's how you get a record. The police is too busy to charge someone taking a $5 bottle so therefore the matter has been solved internally within the company. You can pretty much apply for a new job anywhere but this company.
