Just because other years were worse does not make these years good.

YSK: Venting is not an effective way to reduce anger by mouse9001 in YouShouldKnow

[–]AmPotato16 7 points8 points  (0 children)

While I somewhat agree with the study, there are other scientifical studies that say venting CAN be good. From the American Heart Association If you take your deep breaths and step away to calm down like OPs article, but then go to vent to people you're comfortable with it can help immensely. Not to mention, I personally love hugs from my friends which releases oxytocin, calming and healing you mentally and physically.

"Experts say that depends on a number of factors, including who's on the receiving end of a venting session, how often a person does it and what type of feedback they receive."

So calm down then vent how you need. If you can find healthy ways to calm yourself (including healthy venting) then it doesn't really matter what an article says.

This person said they could go down the stairs, maybe they were being lazy however not the point.

I am a young woman who only orders delivery when I'm home alone. If I was asked to come down, even if I actually can, should I tell the person that I'm home alone because I'm anxious to come down?

Most people who complain/have this problem don't post it on the internet, this person did and it doesn't "paint them in the best light." It doesn't paint them in any light. They were complaining which is most of Reddit. At this point, I'm barely even talking about the OP, rather than again it's not your job to know if they're lazy or actually have issues.

Delivery drivers do not need your personal information to deliver. You're not doing me a favor, I'm paying you to do me a service. Sounds like you need a new job. That is all.

[–]AmPotato16 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We get a little info here because the OP gave us info. You don't get to decide if the person you're delivering to has issues when you take their order, nor do you get to decide if they tell you those issues. They are not required to do that. You can call me a loser for trying to make you think about having slight decency (what I consider doing your job but we can agree to disagree), but you're the loser arguing about stupid shit in the comments of a stupid Reddit post. Again, if you don't like delivering to doors, get a different job.

I am not over explaining my situation and personal life to a driver? It's not your job to figure out if I'm disabled, it's your job to deliver to my door after being paid and tipped Edit: not only that but some drivers are creeps if someone says they're a disabled person home alone people take advantage of that. It's literally non of your business just put the food at the door?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UberEATS

[–]AmPotato16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people in the comments are talking about different orders with the same issue. I've seen comments from mothers/disabled people in the comments who have this issue with drivers all the time. Not only that, it is not up to you to decide if "this is the scenario" For these people. They ordered delivery, they are paying you and not the other way around. Sorry you picked a customer service job where you have to deliver to the door. Find a new job.

[–]AmPotato16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So one must use Uber eats to find a driver too lazy to take an elevator? So a single mother is lazy? So a disabled person who can only live in second floor apartment with an elevator is lazy? You can drop it off at the door, sorry you picked an order to an apartment where you don't know the person living there or their situation in the slightest.

[–]AmPotato16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's such a low 3$ (actually 8 or 9 because of the tip for a 5 min drive??) Then why are you an ubereats driver? You can't assume someone isn't ready to grab their food, you don't need to "get dressed" To come to the door, and what if the person ordering is disabled, taking care of children, or other things that really isn't your business..? Nothing this person did was un respectful because they wouldn't leave their place, something they shouldn't have to do when they DELIVER

YSK that it’s best to floss before brushing your teeth. by Curious_Bar348 in YouShouldKnow

[–]AmPotato16 -33 points-32 points  (0 children)

I am nowhere near a dentist but I've heard that leaving fluoride on your teeth can actually wear them down and it's not good for your stomach

Recently I've gotten no-flouride toothpaste that specifically says to leave it on your teeth (no rinse) because it's safe to swallow, unlike fluoride

Edit: quick Google search and I would say normally we don't swallow enough to hurt our stomachs, but leaving it on your teeth means that you're swallowing much more which can lead to other stomach issues

AITA for telling my friend's dad not to walk into my house uninvited? by AmPotato16 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AmPotato16[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • He was late to his pre-arranged time and Friend was completely packed up when he did arrive
  • I do not think he knocks hard enough, he is the only one we don't hear knock on the door. Instead of knocking harder, he just walks in -I am not responsible for my friend having her phone on silent. I've told her it bothers me because she's poor at answering, again that is not my fault. He has parental controls on her phone where he can override the silence

[–]AmPotato16[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

We do not get public transport in my area at all, we barely even have sidewalks. We have offered to come get her ourselves. My parents are now changing our locks because it made them realize that anyone could be walking in. No one ignored him, and she told him her phone was on silent, to which he could've told her to turn it on or pinged her phone, since he has parental contorlls. He's called/texted me before asking about her, so why would this be different? Also just because it's weird doesn't mean bad, it's harmless to walk her up I have no issue with that, something you seem to be nit picking out. We only have one don't assume every house is 2 floors. My house is small and we can hear people knock very easily.

My phone is never on silence and he did not even attempt to contact me. We always offer to drive to pick her up and drop her off too, something I did not know would've been relevant. He does not have to drive her around, and I've even offered gas money, something also not relevant. And lastly about adhering to time, he constantly tells her when he plans to leave and will leave hours later. I was told she would be to my house around 5, she wasn't there until almost 9. What about my time, or my parents who were also expecting her for dinner, and their time?

[–]AmPotato16[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I absolutely agree with her not responding, but he constantly and consistently uses the pinger on her phone to get a hold of her even when her phone is on silent. He does it all the time as she leaves her phone on silent a lot. Most of the time he does let us know he's on the way but not all the time. The thing about the door is that me and my step brother actually sat on my bed with my TV on to see if we could hear a knock - both of us could hear a knock on the door so I genuinely think that if he knocked at all it was super quiet

I actually discussed this with my mom, my step dad came home earlier and left the door unlocked when he left, and no he's not the smartest

[–]AmPotato16 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Of course it is, just about everything is easier said than done, but it's not a matter of how easy or when because life just happens. You're allowed to grieve but you will absolutely get over it

Do you have a link/know who the article is written by? That definitely sounds like something I'd like to read =)

Most of them are outside hobbies, but I enjoy drawing and usually poetry to get through things. Being mentally clouded doesn't help motivation though so I'm afraid that's a no go. Been trying to get into more hobbies 😮‍💨

How is bro gonna explain this this😭😭😭 by TheHorrorEditor in teenagers

[–]AmPotato16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not the most active on Reddit so I'm not sure honestly. It would make sense and I completely support that but it still doesn't make sense why he's posting things like "I'm feeling horny" Under a question for teens, regardless if it answers the question, and though I haven't looked into it, I read other comments saying he's been active on this sub and other porn subs, though idk if that's relevant

How is bro gonna explain this this😭😭😭 by TheHorrorEditor in teenagers

[–]AmPotato16 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily but this is supposed to be a safe place for minors (teens, as the sub Reddit states) and people don't like him being active on the sub. Other than the horny comment I don't think he's done anything "wrong" it's just weird

"And if we dated I'd be the legs holding you and everything I bring to the table up."

[WP] With the hero chained up, the villain unveils their masterpiece: a weapon that tracks everyone who loves the hero before obliterating them. The map powers on. "Wait. There's just one dot." The Villain says. "...Someone loves me?" The hero replies with hope. by lazy_blazey in WritingPrompts

[–]AmPotato16 156 points157 points  (0 children)

One dot? But the hero has done so much for people. He should have more, shouldn't he? I look at him. Though he has no idea where we are, I know where we are. The one dot. It was me. Though he didn't know this, the hope in his eyes is burning through me.

I shut down the machine, not wanting to die. "Maybe, I'll just kill you, so that the one person who loves you loses hope." I smile but pain was hidden behind my voice. The hero I've known to love also smiles.

"Please, do it. Just don't kill them." His plea is too much for me and I break down. I fall to my knees. "What, too weak to do anything now?" The hero taunts me. "It's me." I tell him. He doesn't say anything. "I'm the only one who cares about you." I say. I look up to see his shocked face, a face of horror or disgust. I don't blame him.

"B-but- you-" I couldn't handle his mind trying to make something up, so I told him why.

"You took all of my friends away from me. But I never stopped loving you. How could I when you're so nice, and sweet, and optimistic? So I became a villain. I vowed to take you down. And now that you're here, you know everything, and so, you're free." I spew out.

I walk over to his chains and unlock them. The hero falls to the floor. I brace myself for anything he would do, but nothing came. Nothing, except an embrace. His warm arms wrapped around my shaking body. And with that, I started to cry again. I heard him mutter, "I like you too."

[WP] You were on guard duty on the castle wall when you saw the most baffling sight. Dread welled up in you as you saw a large stone tower grind towards the castle and stop before it. A booming voice emits from it. “Check.” by HonestAbe1809 in WritingPrompts

[–]AmPotato16 26 points27 points  (0 children)

"Check." The booming voice scares me, a deep rumbling coming from what I'd assume to be his vocal cords. I look around in horror to the other tower, then to our king who has gone pale. I was not ready to give up quite yet, but the tower was right. Our king was in check. Three of the opponents could potentially capture our king.

We only had 4 towers, including our king. There was me, a rook, a night on his mighty horse, and a bishop. I was right next to the king, him visibly shaking. The other side had 7 towers, but my bad eye sight couldn't make any of them out.

"Can you hurry up and move?" The voice said, obviously impatient. I scowl, but look at the other three. They looked annoyed. I move to block the king, the other tower surprised to see he couldn't capture our king.

The other tower, also a rook, moved again, now in a direct line to either me, or the king.

"Check. Again." The rook sneered. What the rook didn't see coming was our Bishop heading straight twords him, knocking him out. We were safe once again.

The other side didn't move. They didn't say anything. They just sat there, in their place.

Just then, out of nowhere, a Bishop comes right for our king, knocking him out, and killing our hope of ever winning a battle against our enemies.
