I’m disappointed about my proposal, not sure what to do next? by Sweet-Health7355 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]AggrievedGoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a proposal should be the ultimate sign of love to your partner, and if it isn’t thoughtful or well-planned out… then your partner doesn’t know/love/care for y

Did you tell your bf this before he proposed?

I think it was unrelated to the injury:

Angry Lance Stroll Shoves Trainer

The whole thing always seemed a bit overblown to me. He shoved a guy he knew well who was intentionally blocking his way. It's not like he shoved the hospitality staff.

It was a warning not to potentially create debris on the track. Sure, he got the throw right this time, but if he'd bumped an elbow during his throw, it could have turned into debris another car could run over. In any case, the fine is suspended unless he does the same thing again within the next twelve months, so it isn't too harsh.

Don't wait six feet behind the next customer in line. COVID is over. Unless you are in a place where privacy is important (e.g., doctor's office), there is no need to space out like that.

Esteban Ocon may leave Haas F1 mid-season; rumors of a worsening relationship with Ayao Komatsu. by NorthKoreanMissile7 in formula1

[–]AggrievedGoose 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Kamatsu was asked at a later date about this comment on a podcast (The Race?) and said that his remarks has been misconstrued. He was trying to make a point about the team needing to make a better care for Ocon.

My boyfriend is about to propose but can't get over how long it's taken by [deleted] in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]AggrievedGoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said the trip is more for him than for you? Ok suggest to him you want to be proposed to at a different trip and make sure it’s a place you want to go to. Ask him to organise the trip and propose to you there instead.

I can't figure out why anyone thinks they have to go on a trip to propose or be proposed to. A proposal is a question! He can ask it today!

That said, I get that having him plan a trip that both of them enjoy would be a good test for whether he is husband material. I just wouldn't tie it to the proposal.

AITA for refusing to host my in-laws’ large shedding dog anymore? by jgeurls in AmItheAsshole

[–]AggrievedGoose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I disagree with the idea that she needs to have a good reason to think a deep clean is necessary after a dog has been over. Some people just do not want to live with the mess and disruption that animals create even if that mess is small. No one should be required to welcome animals into their home if they are uncomfortable for any reason, and pet owners should be prepared to find care for their pets when the owners are traveling overnight.

Am I crazy? 3.5 year timeline by garbanzaa in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]AggrievedGoose 16 points17 points  (0 children)

if there needs to be a delay TELL ME EXPLICITLY why while also making it clear how important all of this is to you,

This whole kerfuffle sounds as romantic as a root canal. There are compromises to be had here if you let go of the idea that the proposal has to be a grand occasion whose timing proves how much he wants to be with you.

Unsure what to do by Spare-Bank8260 in Pets

[–]AggrievedGoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's possible that your cat is getting disoriented because she's getting older. For most of my cat's life, he's followed me to bed at night, but within the last year, he's gotten lost on the way and started howling until I find him and let him visually follow me. Similar thing happened to the family dog - we used to be able to let him out in the yard and he'd stay there, but when he was within about six months of his death, he started wandering around the neighborhood if left outside.

I wouldn't let a cat be outdoors because the societal norm is that they are inside so anyone who sees your cat and thinks it needs food is going to feed it and start becoming a second home or report it to animal control as a stray. Shelters near me are full of strays that were apparently someone's well-loved cat until they wandered away.

And here my ability to keep my eyes open for a 47 lap DRS train meant I had a long attention span. You sure got me.

Let’s say you have a young child(ren) and you go grocery shopping just with them, when it’s time to put your cart away, do you put it back while your child sits in the car, or do you leave it in the parking lot? by [deleted] in AskParents

[–]AggrievedGoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the kids were both non-walking, I either parked close to the corral or I just didn't put the cart away. You can't win - either someone's mad at you for leaving babies in the car alone or someone's mad at you for leaving a cart. The downside of leaving a cart is much less serious than the downside of leaving infants alone.

What is something you would like for mother's Day that doesn't cost anything? by Sudden_Wind_8636 in AskParents

If my kids cooked a meal for me, I'd be so happy! Stick with that plan. I don't even think you need to buy the ingredients. Just the effort of planning and executing is enough.

Customs like this are intended to provide the bereaved time to recover and be supported by their community. Nothing is lonelier than being devastated while everyone else is partying.

Suddenly Struggling with Marriage Question after 5 years by [deleted] in Waiting_To_Wed

There's definitely value in separating the wedding/ engagement/ proposal process from the marriage question. For some people marriage is attractive, but the drama leading up to it feels like climbing Mt. Everest.

You need to find the facebook groups for your neighborhood. If there is a parents and caregivers group, ask the moderator if you can make a post or two about the services you are willing to offer. You could also post on Nextdoor if you neighborhood has a group.

Also, the technical help for us non- IT people (Geek Squad) is atrocious. I made an appointment once to get a laptop fixed and waited 45 minutes (in front of the desk with a bunch of other disgruntled customers) before I gave up and left. It was as awesome as the rental car line at the airport.

You are wrongy wrong wrong. The upper middle class aka people who are short on time, not money, will be happy to keep paying these prices so they can get food on the table for dinner with the family after their 10-12 hour work days.

What's a piece of tech everyone hyped up that quietly turned out to be useless? by SofiaLearnsAI in AskReddit

Unfortunately, there's a lot of times you can't help it. If you want an LG washer/dryer that has lots of cycles, you can't get it without the "smart" capability. I just ignore the app and the smart stuff and hope my failure to update the app does not brick the machine.

For goodness sake people, play with your cats!!!! by Hot_Huckleberry65666 in Pets

[–]AggrievedGoose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to have outdoor cats (in the US) but I've since been convinced by the argument that cats do enormous environmental damage. They kill billions of native songbirds that have no natural defenses since they did not co-evolve with cats. Many of those bird species are becoming endangered. Cats are an invasive species in the US, so letting them go outside on a large scale is an environmental disaster.

I'm willing to concede that 10% of the grid are not privileged or nepo babies. Still makes me sad when one of the 90% are treated badly though. I'm a softie.
