One day back when I was at school, I didn’t have my phone on silent, and it went off during class. The teacher thought he’d make an example out of me and ask who the text was from. I replied “My Mum. She’s in hospital with cancer.” He shut right up and went back to the lesson.
在我还上学的时候，我当时手机没有静音，上课的时候响了。老师觉得他可以拿我当一个反例，于是问我短信是谁发来的。我回答“我妈妈。她得了癌症在住院。”他立刻闭上了嘴，回去上课了。

As a teenager I worked in a grocery store, I saw a customer who's back was to me struggling with all there items, so I asked "do you need a hand?". The man turned around and I could see he was missing a hand, there was just a stub there, that is why he was struggling. He was a good sport and said "Yes, it seems I do!", lifting his arm missing the hand in the air.
青少年时我在一家超市打工。我看到一个背对我的客人，很困难地整理着他买的东西，于是我问他“你需要帮把手吗？”那个人转了过来，我发现他有一只手截肢了，那里只剩个头儿，所以他才这么费劲。但他是个好人，他说“没错，看起来我确实需要！”，举起了他没有手的那只胳膊，在空中挥了一下。

That's not so bad, dude knew you couldn't see that they were missing it and it's just a common phrase. I know two people with that same disability and they've told me it never bothers them, because someone is asking if you need help :) That said, they don't speak for everyone.
这其实并没有那么糟糕，那个兄弟知道你看不见他没有手，而且这也只是常用语而已。我认识两个有这种残疾的人，他们跟我说过这种话从来都没让他们生气过，因为这是别人在问你需不需要帮助。话虽如此，他们也不能代表所有人。

I once had a friend in college that it took nearly 6 months to figure out his name even after going out for drinks after our evening class every week. I think both of us didn’t want to admit we didn’t know each other’s name so we just went with “buddy” for months until we recognized another student at the bar and we introduced ourselves and realized we were finally going to learn each other’s name
我上大学时曾经交过一个朋友，我花了将近六个月的时间才知道他的名字，尽管我们每星期上完晚课都会一起出去喝酒。我想我们两个都不愿意承认我们不知道对方的名字，所以我们就用“兄弟”彼此称呼了好几个月，直到我们有一天在酒吧认出了另一个学生，我们向他介绍自己的时候才发现我们终于有机会知道彼此叫什么名字了。

A new girl started at my old job and we were having a slow day so we all began to chitchat and somehow got on the topic of house pest. Someone brought of roaches and she asked “what do they form from?” No one was sure what she was asking so she stated “like ants form from rotting food, what do roaches form from?” This girl, late 20s, mother of two, believed that food would rot to the point it turned into ants. Like some kind of magic metamorphosis. That blows my mind. Someone can believe that last months meatloaf is about to become a swarm of insects.

Answer: “No. We will open a requisition to fill your position. “
回答：“没有。我们会重新招聘人才填补你的空缺。”

New job: “someone else already accepted the position first.”
新工作：“有人已经比你提前接受了这个职位。”

Be careful when using job offers as leverage. You almost immediately take yourself out of leaderships long term plans.
用新工作当杠杆讨价还价的时候最好小心一点。你基本上是立刻被领导层从长远规划中排除掉了。

This was mostly in reference to people actively getting offers to request/demand a raise. This is extremely risky, especially if you have no intention of moving jobs.
我主要是在说那些主动找工作来要求加薪的人。这种行为非常风险，尤其在你本来没有换工作的打算的情况下。

Contrary to what many are saying below, it is very common for large companies to interview and attempt to hire multiple people for the same position. Many of these companies have several of the same position available. New teams and departments are created quite often.
和帖子下面很多人说的相反，对于那些大公司来说，针对单个岗位同时面试并尝试雇佣多个人是很平常的事情。大多数的公司都有数个相同的岗位等待应聘。因为他们会经常创建新的团队和新的部门。

Real story, co worker asked other co worker “well where were you yesterday? Enjoying your day off?” In tears and VERY, VERY, VERY angry she replies “I was attending my grand daughters funeral…” just awkward and painful silence
真实的故事，一个同事问另一个同事“你昨天去哪了？享受假期去了？”她流着眼泪，非常非常非常愤怒地回答：“我在参加我孙女的葬礼……”当时的沉默又尴尬又痛苦。

This is a huge pet peeve of mine. I’m in the tech industry, working for a big company, and it’s not uncommon to go to a presentation with a large audience, or big meetings with way too many people. Then, get to the end: “any questions? Anybody? … No more questions? … OK? … OK, see you all- oh yes a question!” I don’t know if this is a cultural thing or what, but there are always people who (a) seem to want to be seen asking a question, and actually have to sit there trying to think of a question to ask, and (b) wait until “any questions?” has been asked multiple times, only interjecting when we are literally moments away from getting TF out of there.
我最受不了的就是这种事。我在科技领域，为一个大公司工作，所以我会经常参加那些观众很多的演讲，或是太多人参与的大型会议。然后，到结尾了：“有问题吗？有人吗？没有问题了对吧？好的？……好的我们下次见——哦好的有人问问题！”我不知道这是文化上的差别还是什么，但好像总是有这么一种人，他们要么是想要显得自己会问问题，所以在那里想半天想出一个可以问的问题；要么是等“有问题吗？”问了好几遍，然后等到我们只差几秒钟就可以赶紧滚出这该死的地方的时候突然插进来问个问题。

The questions are never worth it.
而且他们问的问题永远都没有任何价值。

Half the time you can tell someone has an axe to grind and is making their own little unrelated problem bigger than it has to be by throwing it straight at the executives, and the other half it's a legitimate question that they're not going to give a straight answer on anyway.
基本上有一半的情况你可以看出那个人是有自己的打算，他想要通过直接向管理层提问的方式让自己的那个无足轻重的问题显得重要一些，而另一半的情况就是虽然它本身是个好问题，但对方肯定也不会给出直接的回答。

Asking someone to repeat themselves a 3rd time.
让某个人把自己说过的话重复第三遍。
And it’s never anything important - the other person usually ends up screaming, “The grass is really wet over here!”
而且永远不是什么重要的东西——那个人通常喊的都是：“那边的草可真湿啊！”
