80:56 - I work at a very fancy hotel. A new employee recently joined my team, and in an effort to be friendly and helpful, I've been answering their questions about our policies and so on. However, in recent days, her questions have taken a different tone, pumping me for info on things like how late the security guards stay in the building, how many cameras are in the service corridors, if the codes for inner doors change regularly. How much trouble am I in? Should I alert the hotel authorities? Then again, I'm on minimum wage. Should I be asking to get in on the grift? - Unwilling Extra in an Ocean's Movie in Dublin, Ireland

16:23 - Y - Sent in by "a bunch of folks", from Yahoo Answers user Manny Ocean, who asks: "Is it blasphemy to say grace when eating food from Burger King? Just considering its fast food. And.. always wondered if religious people consider it a sin to thank god for the food when eating stuff like that. Just curious?"

22:46 - A fellow student has taken it upon himself to start writing fan fiction about all of us in my honors class at university. I started actually reading them out of morbid curiosity, and it's come to my attention that if I off-the-handily say I enjoy something in class, it ends up becoming a major trait for my "character". How do I explain to this kid there's more to me than liking Star Wars and escape room games without making things weirder than they already are? I have to take multiple courses with this guy and I'm afraid he's going to kill me off. - Characterized in California

Me and my friend both applied for Papa Johns, and they ended up hiring him but not me. I’ve never been so angry in my life. Can I sue Papa Johns?"
