> I don't want to work at this company anymore so I quit, I just don't feel like working here anymore

Seems ok for the employee to quit "at will" so why not for the employer?

It's sincere, I don't think people are thinking through what they're asking for

I'm not particularly "vindictive" but these are the kinds of cases where capital punishment / death penalty seem justified

handicapped spots

if they're not being used, maybe they don't need to exist?

I've seen people say it's kind of weird people want the "handicapped" to be both treated equally and have special parking spots?

Honestly I've seen some attitudes and articles that "housework isn't exercise" and... I'm guessing such people don't do much housework? At a minimum, it could often be a lot of walking, which is fine low to moderate exercise.

Have you ever found housework (or chores) to be good exercise?

Court reporters have used stenography for over a century to write at over 200 words per minute, faster than most people speak

...

Shorthand is an abbreviated symbolic writing method that increases speed and brevity of writing as compared to a normal method of writing a language. The process of writing in shorthand is called stenography, from the Greek stenos (narrow) and graphē or graphie (writing).
