Hey, Reddit. Which double standard irritates you the most?

The other day, I got a new iPhone from AT&T.

I told the salesperson I didn't want to make any changes to my account.

Two days later, I get an email saying,

Congrats on signing up for cell phone insurance for $9.99 a month.

Not once did this salesperson utter the words cell phone insurance. If I walk into an

AT&T every month and steal $999, I would go to jail. When a salesperson steals an extra $9.99 a month

from me, they call it cross-selling and don't see anything wrong with it. Work over 12 to 15 hours a day to get your project in by deadline is fine,

but don't you dare show up five minutes late the next day. Paid based on a 40-hour week,

trend towards 50 to 60 hours on average. Edit should point out that I love the job and I feel

I get paid a good rate. Just annoyed after getting called out by the sales staff who don't have to pull extended shifts.

I work for a small business, eight employees.

Smokers, four of the eight of us, are allowed smoke breaks whenever they feel like it.

We aren't given regular coffee breaks or lunch, during which they aren't required to punch out

or put anything other

than, and I quote management here, a reasonable time limit on.

I don't smoke, but I do like a bit of fresh air every now and then, so I go outside for

three to five minutes and check my email or read the news on my phone.

This is completely unacceptable to my boss because, and let me quote her directly again,

phones are an addiction that waste company time.

I asked her why smokers aren't held to the standard, and I was told, quote,

smokers need to smoke.
