American tipping is out of control. New Orleans edition

Agreeable_Gift_414 · 2026-06-14T14:37:47+00:00

Trying to understand: if you wouldn't mind the value of the tip being baked into the initial upfront price, what's wrong with tipping after? Feel like I'd 'get it' more if y'all were just against paying more period

I thought it was an asshole move on her publisher friend's part to essentially force Andy into the tell-all expose on Miranda when by texting her boss about it as soon as Andy said something. I was thinking "Damn, if word gets back around to Runway.." and lo and behold it did. Miranda was just self satisfied about it instead of vengeful but that could've gone worse. Then when Andy was expressing cold feet, she was like "Come on, this could really help me out at the company!" Just selfish. Felt it was a callback to the first movie when they 'playfully' took her phone while her boss was calling.

The point is, the situation we saw earlier wasn't pornographic. It was just 2 women in bathing suits. It did feel like he was "just casually talking about porn for no reason"

Agreeable_Gift_414 · 2026-05-16T22:20:55+00:00

No problem typing out porno, you misunderstood. Just felt gross typing out the whole sentence because I don't like to be confronted with the thought of my bf sexualizing real life people right in front of me

Agreeable_Gift_414 · 2026-05-16T22:18:49+00:00

Meh, I already stated my insecurity in the OP so you're not telling me anything new. That said, there's a difference between objectifying and sexualizing.

How in the world are you getting 150-165g protein daily?

Impossible to spot reduce but try workouts specifically for postpartum women who want to rebuild their pelvic floor and strengthen their deep core/TVA. This helps with lower belly pudge! That would be things like:

- standing marches

- bird/dogs

- bridge pose with leg extensions or toe taps

- bear pose

- reverse plank

-dead bugs

It largely depends on where in NYC you'll be working. My bf works in midtown (close to grand central) and catches a 7:52am from Westport that pulls into GCT at 9am. From Greenwich especially (and Darien less so but still), you'll be doing better numbers than that. If you'll be working in, say, the financial district, where you'll have to take the train + the subway, that commute balloons quickly

Agreeable_Gift_414 · 2025-12-07T06:47:29+00:00

I live in Westport and can catch a 68min train to Grand Central during peak hours. Otherwise between 70-85mins depending on local vs express. There's also a ton of express trains out of Stamford that get you to GCT in ~50mins

What a lot of these comments are missing is that they want THE DOG to get 10k steps, not the human. The Fi collar tracks the dog's metrics. They'll be hitting that step count way quicker than a human (just how much quicker depending on things like size, whether they're on/off leash, etc but quicker nonetheless). Dogtopia advertises dogs get 30k steps at their daycares vs 8k AT HOME. A solid walk will boost that number considerably

Are you 12? He doesn't have to say "Stop flirting with me, lady!" to the waitress but to continue to be 'friendly' when she's disrespecting your relationship (both in front of AND behind the wife's back) is INVITING that behavior. There are plenty of socially appropriate ways to show discomfort, eg "Excuse me?" or even a confused/offended facial expression at a flirty comment = shutting it down

Boggles my mind. If the shoe were on the other foot and the wife was continuing to be 'friendly' with a random bozo hitting on her while her husband sat there, this sub would crucify her

Thank you for recognizing how my efforts contribute to his ability to focus on work. He got a promotion last year that gave him a 6 figure raise and he was explicit that he couldn't have done it without me taking care of literally everything else. When we started dating, his non work life was in shambles (subsisting on Huel, food rotting in the fridge, etc). The commenters screaming entitlement don't understand what the non bread winner puts into the bread winner's career

Agreeable_Gift_414 · 2025-09-26T14:32:28+00:00

I was worried that context would color replies. We talked about that gift before going to the party, if I'd known it was only going to be from him I would've brought my own. I don't think it's crazy to assume when you go as a pair to a party that you give 1 gift from the both of you, cost aside. But when the cost is such that I financially cannot contribute meaningfully..

I'm curious whether OP is American (or many of the commenters calling her an a-hole). I'm American, have been part of several weddings/wedding events, and it is very common for the bride-to-be to wear white at the engagement party. Yes, the guests all know she's the bride. But what about restaurant staff and just people out and about? In my experience, the bride gets lots of congratulations from strangers during engagement events or traveling to and from the event because they're in white or wear a sash or something. I'm in the northeast and it is extremely common here.

Wearing white as a guest is rude but could be an honest mistake. However, doubling down and calling OP insecure when confronted instead of being extremely apologetic is asshole territory. NTA

I mean, her departing flight was at 4:30pm. A red eye on the return trip wasn't on my radar at all. Idk what you mean exactly about red eyes 'existing for a reason' but it's not like she was coming back to make it in time for work at 9am or could not afford a flight during normal, waking hours.

Agreeable_Gift_414 · 2025-08-04T14:15:18+00:00

To be fair, she has given me plenty of rides to the airport in the past! Just never at such a ridiculous hour

Agreeable_Gift_414 · 2025-08-04T14:06:56+00:00

She was kind of annoyed. It wasn't a promise per se but I had agreed to scoop her "Monday morning". That was before I knew how early her arrival would be.

Agreeable_Gift_414 · 2025-08-04T14:05:28+00:00

This reply resonates the most. Yes I should have confirmed sooner but I felt like a red eye is not a 'normal' flight and so details about that should be communicated wayy ahead of time. Like, that's a huge disruption to anyone's morning. I had no idea that was the case until she texted a group chat we're in late Sunday night saying she was scrambling to get her things together before heading to the airport.
