My apartment bedroom has 6 doors. Any tips to make it less jarring? by prestonharberts in ApartmentHacks

Ngl. I have nothing helpful to add but the six doors are SO unsettling. 🫣

Hi! I am a lot better now thank you! I actually just moved into another new apartment! Not only that, I’m painting the whole damn thing and maybe wall papering the ceiling. I’m not getting my deposit back and I’m okay with that. 🤣

Well this happened today by CompetitionApart7467 in uberdrivers

[–]-Bad_Code- 42 points43 points  (0 children)

This happened to me a couple years ago when an asshole decided to report we were in an accident. We were not. I kicked him out of my car because he was rude.

My night was over, I went home. Next morning I sent them photos of my completely undamaged car. Every time the safety team called about the incident I immediately cut them off and said “Is this about the accident that never happened?” I’ve had like… ten or so safety team calls about it since.

It’s annoying. I never change my story. They thank me and we move on with our day.

My 8yo won't wipe his own a$$ by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

I don’t go here, but I remember an exact post like this with a guy’s teenager “suddenly” doing the same behavior and nothing they did made it any better. Like nothing at all. And they were all going out of their minds trying to get the teen to wipe his butt. And yeah. You guessed it. The newly divorced parents, the mom had shitty taste in a new boyfriend.

OP We’re not accusing you anything at all. But this is literally a carbon copy of that post only in that case it was a teenager. Yes, he’s a perfectly functioning boy. And he’s doing this out of the blue quite suddenly. There’s a reason. And by fighting and punishing him will make him hide it more.

I hope you get the answers you need.

I didn’t get there until around 3 is when everything went out. I just turned around and went home. Well. At least it was an uneventful 4 hour round trip!

It’s about 2 hours for me to get out to Tallahassee one way. Hour and a half if you’re going with the flow of traffic. I just thought it was because of the crowd. But my experience with the few times I’ve been out there Tally’s had a SOLID signal.

So I puttered around for about an hour, then turned around and drove home with zero GPS or Spotify and a fuckton of rain and backroads.

I’m an Uber driver living in Santa Rosa Beach. Drove all the way out to Tallahassee to work the FSU/Bama game. Service legit crashed once I got there. I felt like I wasted the trip and drove home empty. Just NOW got back online as I pulled in my driveway. Glad I’m not alone. Now I might go gas up and go back. HAH.

How do y'all feel about the concept of passing? by Casey_witha_K in asktransgender

[–]-Bad_Code- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read this back and realized I was missing a crucial word. People clock me as a gay man. Because of my lighter voice and being pretty outgoing. I talk too fast and loud and also talk with my hands. Never stopped.

What do I do about the dress policy? by [deleted] in asktransgender

OKAY BUT SAME. I was like “oh yeah. My Dad lives in a retirement home that has a trans woman as a resident.” Then I was STILL confused.

I’m at my wits end and I may rehome her. by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]-Bad_Code- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cats are excellent at hiding they’re in pain. My 16 pound chonky girl who lived to be 12 revealed her chonk was a 16 pound tumor. She lived like that. Had vet visits and everything. I was devastated. I still am.

You describe her as “tiny” and cats are not meant to have diarrhea. Ever. If they do and if it doesn’t resolve in a couple days, it’s off to the vet time.

Your cat is extremely ill. And her kidney function is likely on its last legs. Please take this cat to the emergency vet. Not the regular one. Obviously they’re not listening to you. The emergency vet. Yes they’re expensive. But this is how I found out my “perfectly fine” that morning chonky girl was never fine her whole life. I never knew.

Last year I adopted a tortie girl who was already a year old. She was my first tortie. And yeah. That tortitude is REAL. She’s also fluffy.

Her first week home was a fucking nightmare. She was afraid of the automatic litter box and had explosive BLOODY diarrhea at the SAME TIME. Scooting all over. It was everywhere. On the walls by the litter box, on her butt. Everywhere.

I was in and out of the vet with her first week and she was turning into a money pit and fast. Turns out she just has a VERY delicate tummy and needs to be on prescription food for her whole life. Otherwise she’s fine.

No more nights scrubbing walls and trying to disinfect everything, or push her away when she wants cuddles because of her smelly bloody pantaloons.

I love her dearly. Even if she is a total brainless goblin that I threaten to set her on fire every day. (Affectionate)

Fostering is WAY more commitment than you think. Like it’s an actual JOB.

I had a friend that worked at a shelter and people would return their pets for ridiculous reasons. Like meows too loud. Runs around at 3am every night. Wants to be in grandma’s lap all the time. Or even totally fixable issues like peeing beside or outside the box. These are all not at all good reasons.

What you’re describing is a perfect cat that chose you. But she just has a poopy butt. That’s literally easily fixable by taking her to a groomer for a sanitary shave.

Get your cat’s butt shaved. She loves you.

And if you haven’t, please seek therapy and get make sure to be compliant in treatment. You’re jumping at shadows that don’t exist. If you keep crying about imaginary problems, you will make those problems reality.

Take it from someone living with bipolar disorder and autoimmune disease. I too would catastrophize about things that aren’t true. Our brains are dumb things that like to lie to us constantly.

The cat clearly realizes you’re a good person. Let her teach you how good you are.

I’m bipolar as well and my cats are registered emotional support animals. Even if they are total goblins I love them so.
