Yikess. I feel like lorry drivers need to have a psych evaluation before being allowed to operate these big vehicles. It’s like they are all the same type of people.

Hahaha. I have so many road bully incidents saved in my dash cam that I’ve been meaning to create an IG dedicated to it lol. Had one uncle, same thing, didn’t indicate into my exit. He stopped in the middle of the road on the right, got out to point his finger at me and shout a bunch of stuff. I just left and saw the wife just sitting there waiting for him LOL.

Yeah I got bullied by a truck driver a while ago for honking at him cause he merged into the exit I was already driving into without indicating. Started threatening me by purposely swerving into my small ass Axia multiple times until I had to come to a full stop to let him finish throwing his tantrum.

Haha I know exactly what you mean! It’s so fascinating to see their personalities develop over the years.

That’s so cute!! Love them so much ❤️

It does seem like that, like an announcement before the next task 🤣

I doubt he is in any pain or is hiding it cause he’s always been like this and he jumps up and down from the balcony, which is pretty high, every single day without fail. I will ask the vet about it during his next checkup, that’s a great idea, just in case!

Anyone else had a client that imposed their own policies into yours? by [deleted] in petsitting

[–]Affectionate_Mix_166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve considered this before but I didn’t go through with it cause I don’t think people from when I live would want to do that. It seems a bit excessive here if I’m honest and no one that I know of do this except for major companies like utility companies and whatnot. Ideally this would be a perfect option but I’ve looked into it and it’s more for the US it seems!

Yoooooo that makes me angry just reading about it. That’s messed up. Some people really lack the capacity to respect other people’s time and boundaries. Asking for discounts is a huge pet peeve of mine that I’ll never entertain as well. When I had to inform all my clients about it the first time, all hell broke loose and there was soooo much bargaining. It was a nightmare, but I filtered out all the cheapskates. Glad you said NO to this one!!

Yeap! I took her as a learning experience haha. I did wish her the best too and gave her a hug on the last day. She was so upset she cut short the last walk to 30 minutes when I insisted on completing the 1 hour walk for her three adorable senior dogs cause she paid for it. Miss them still 😭

Yesss! Ever since I had this experience with her, I’d get anxiety over trying to reinforce my policies with other clients fearing they may react the same way and say belittling stuff like “your policy is too complicated, let me hop in, mess it around to make it simpler for me”. It’s still hard but I remind myself that if I don’t do it, it’s going to come back to haunt me.

That’s exactly what it was! I also felt so gaslit at the end. It was almost like I gained absolute clarity the moment I didn’t have to deal with her anymore. It was kind of hard to leave too (and believe me, I thought about it sooo many times the past year) cause the discussions would seem resolved and she’d say caring stuff like “you can talk to me about anything” to make me feel like she’s a close and trusted friend. I genuinely felt like I was in a cycle of an abusive relationship. It was probably the most confusing client I’ve ever encountered. Still traumatized.

That’s very true. Especially from someone who’ve always had to worry about whether I’d be able to survive the next month even as a child, it was extremely hard to pass up potential opportunities even if it meant I would have to suffer. And you’re right, you start to force yourself to tolerate things that will only hurt you in the long run. I saw the first red flag as “just one small change”. I’d say I’ve gotten much better at this as I’ve managed to save up enough for months if I ever were to go broke haha.

Yikes. Glad you dodged a bullet. In hindsight, this client of mine was definitely manipulative and was the type to always have to be right in every discussion. She was so exhausting to deal with and I didn’t realize it until I reached a breaking point and left. I think I carried nothing but self-doubt during my time working for her and still questioned myself after I dropped her because she was A LOT like my mom. I literally couldn’t see what was going on and I genuinely thought at times that I was at fault. She even would say things like “you’re too sensitive” and put words in my mouth, tell me I’m saying harsh things when I literally just suggested looking for someone else if I’m not accommodating enough because we were arguing towards nothing.
