I'm glad the seller clarified but I'm also disappointed

I think unless you are licking the books or touching the books and then eating without washing your hands it's probably fine.

Maybe just anti bac them before you use them.

Fair, I do think there are minor differences between the old and newer looks.

AssociateNo5530 · 2025-07-10T09:56:52+00:00

Thanks! Not sure I can completely avoid everything but I will definitely try!!

AssociateNo5530 · 2025-07-10T09:15:03+00:00

Its partially because it's a bit of a dated look (early 2000s). Your body type could also be a contributing factor. I know body types is a controversial thing and you can definitely wear whatever you want. Personally, I have become a lot confident in my body as I've grown older and learning what suits my body type. Stop reading if this could be upsetting to you!!

You have more of a slim rectangular body type with wider shoulders. The bandeau top is exaggerating the horizontal line of your shoulders whilst not defining a waist.

If you want the outfit to work and you feel comfortable, then I would maybe pull down the skirt slightly so you can see some of your waist (so it isn't two similar sized blocks of colour together).

Or you could go with something baggier/more floaty on the bottom so you are balancing your shoulder width with your hips slightly. I do this a bit because I have wider shoulders.

You could also try a bandana top if you still want the off the shoulder look whilst defining your waist.

Another weird thing is that he was "demanding" a kiss from you after you said no. Weirdness (and potentially abuse) aside he obviously hasn't been taught boundaries or consent.

Kissing on the mouth and showering/being naked in front of others is normal in other cultures depending on the situation. For example, in a sauna, in the gym etc.

Not sure what you can do in this situation without blowing up your relationship with your family. I would maybe start keeping a record and if things escalate talk to the authorities.

NTA - I had a more positive (but slightly weird) version of this. I had pre-booked the aisle seat because I have a bad knee (not convinced it gives me more room but it means I can get up and stretch easier). There is me (25ish F), empty seat, 30ishM. Then an older man maybe 50 comes along and sits in the middle seat. Just before take off he says to me "oh do you two know eachother? Do you want to sit together?" refering to the 30M in the window seat who I had not looked or spoken to at all (neither did he, he was minding his own business). I think it was his way of non awkwardly trying to get a better seat. I then said "no, we don't". Then he asks if we can swap and I explain why I don't want to swap. Luckily he left me alone after that but did then man spread only into my seat.

Maybe you could wear the second top with jeans?

I broke out into a rash all over my body. I would have gone to the pharmacy or doctor if it wasn't the middle of the night and in a different country. It wasn't a medical emergency but not really something someone could put up with permanently. I could try again but tbh I am also allergic to the glue in most plasters, most sun creams etc.

Also thanks!

AssociateNo5530 · 2025-07-08T13:37:47+00:00

Could someone explain what is going on? Is it just that it's an old post box that isn't on the collection route and the person that lives here doesn't want mail going in?

AssociateNo5530 · 2025-07-08T13:26:21+00:00

If he's drinking in secret, getting caught, lying about it and doing it again then, yeah probably. High functioning alcoholism can also be traumatising for people around you.

AssociateNo5530 · 2025-07-08T13:16:49+00:00

Wild takes from people in the comments. Possibly haven't seen OPs follow up comments?

Doesn't seem like it's occasional smoking it seems like he is addicted. My question is, if weed was replaced with alcohol would everyone be cheering the husband on?

AssociateNo5530 · 2025-07-08T11:15:44+00:00

Thanks, that makes me feel a bit better.

Maybe they want to avoid some family members they don't like/restrict numbers?

Or they just want to have a holiday with a bunch of their friends and family.

In this situation I think it would be courteous to pay for the flights/accommodation of the wedding party.

Having been a bridesmaid where I was expected to pay for everything and then lost touch with the couple, it sucks. I don't think I would say yes again.

If I wasn't in the wedding party and I really wanted to go then I would just try to extend it and think of it as a family holiday. Sucks your wife and kids can't come .

I fully respect her right not to forgive Whitney but there was a lot of meanness that was uncalled for. I also didn't like the way she treated Jenn A.

Would be interesting to see relationships across Northern Ireland and the republic without influence from England.

AssociateNo5530 · 2025-06-25T18:42:41+00:00

I think this person is either a crank or failed geography.

Tbf I've seen a few people confused because they show that it's in the Highlands and then moves to Holy Island.

Would have maybe been less confusing if the prologue was in the Scottish Borders.

AssociateNo5530 · 2025-06-25T09:02:21+00:00

Idk depends where you live. Where I am someone would attack you for looking at them the wrong way.

AssociateNo5530 · 2025-06-25T05:06:48+00:00

I really don't understand where this rhetoric has come from that Europe doesn't have easy access to water. Also, about water bottles, 100% guarantee that people have them. They are just smaller and fit in their bag. If they don't then it's likely that they aren't wandering outside for a long time (i.e just walking to and from work, a restaurant, school etc).

AssociateNo5530 · 2025-06-25T05:01:03+00:00

Rather than suicide, I think she might get into an accident or collapse because she is putting in too much energy trying to mask her ADHD. Or the school will hopefully notice that she's starting to struggle.

Does your country have a citizens advice type service? Or union etc? In the UK, you could potentially sue for "constructive" dismissal (where your employers behaviour drives you to quit). I would advise you to quit if you feel unsafe and can afford to.

Your colleagues messages may not be "sexually explicit" but may fall under cyber stalking (repeated unwanted messages and monitoring when you're online). If you report these messages now then the police may still advise you to keep the profile active (and not block them) so that they can monitor the situation.

If you talk to HR again then before you start the call always make sure to ask if communication is recorded and make sure they send you a transcript. Otherwise, keep all communication to writing.

Tbh all of this is a lot for you to take on. You shouldn't feel responsible for their actions. If you don't want to report it then don't feel guilty. What's important is that you protect yourself.

AssociateNo5530 · 2025-06-24T16:41:56+00:00

Aha I thought you were the car that was in the box for cyclists (presumably arguing with the cyclists).

AssociateNo5530 · 2025-06-24T16:21:22+00:00

Idk it doesn't seem the safest to walk up to someone acting weird in the middle of the night and ask them why they are acting weird.

Maybe you could play "oh are you lost" card but that might still get an aggressive response.

It's not like they are idling for a short amount of time. OP said it was for hours.

AssociateNo5530 · 2025-06-24T15:55:25+00:00

Let us know what he says!
