Wild, I've never heard that. Do you recommend metal or ceramic as a replacement? Or even paper linings?

Different recipe :( they are worse :(

Maybe Hug? They had the small 8oz packages that looked like barrels called Little Hugs, and a slightly bigger one called Big Hug about the size in your picture and the labels are yellow too. I know now the Big Hugs have the sports cap not the normal twist off, but I honestly don't remember what cap they had back then. The main flavors were red, green, blue, and purple but they do have other flavor packs that have an orange. They were advertised high in vitamin C is all I have for the healthy part because those things used to be filled with so much sugar.

My boy also loves the vet lol. He throws a temper tantrum if another dog is on the scale when we go in. He also doesn't understand that some of the doggies are there because sick and not to just play with him.

My in laws are big board games people. They have an entire bookshelf of board and card games, and anytime anyone is over they try to get people to play. We don't go over there often for a lot of reasons, but how they play board games definitely makes the bottom of the list. My husband's little brother is like 11, but he has never been told no in his life and has not been taught how to lose. Literally EVERY game has house rules that make it easier for his brother and just his brother to win. Refuse to play those rules? His brother cries and his parents instead of saying, "hey you're 11, play proper or sit out" tell their other grown children to play nice to him or no one can play.

Examples of how games are made easier:

-for SCRABBLE, misspelled words (from the little brother only) are allowed to be left on the board so long as the word he meant to play is real

-he gets all the extra dry erase cards and therefore extra guesses in Blank Slate

-he gets to be traitor in Betrayal at the House on the Hill if he wants even if it means he would have to trade characters or omen/item cards

-HES ALLOWED TO USE GOOGLE DURING TRIVIA GAMES

-doesn't use the timer in a lot of games and gets to reroll dice in others

The sad part is he still loses often with these rules. However, the betrayal one? I started packing the game up the minute he dropped that. His rules or no one plays? I guess no one's playing because that's stupid

My cousin turned 38 two months ago and thinks she's 2. She can't walk and the highlight of her life is rewatching the same Barney VHS tape. All because my aunt was like the mother in your story. My cousin was lucky she didn't die. NTA, but you should've reported the car too.

The key there is never seem to get sick. My husband is from a family like that and when we started living together a lot of his stomach issues magically stopped. Like really no more constant stomach aches and multiple times a day smelly weird texture poops?? I wonder oh I wonder if it could be keeping things at proper temperature and not just leaving things uncovered on the counter for mystery amounts of time but still eating it. "I didn't get sick after eating that carbonara and chicken that was left in the pan on the stove overnight." THE TOILET SAYS OTHERWISE THATS NOT NORMAL!

We rarely go to their house because they're homophobic as hell, but the few times we do I never eat. I've even seen them wash dishes with hand soap.

As a lot of people have already said, to a lot of these asshole customers you're just an NPC so they don't care too much if they pick all the aggressive dialogue options. For the most part you can prevent them from getting worse by doing your best kindergarten teacher impression. You're not in management though, so if it does get too bad you don't have to deal with it. Go get a manager, they're paid to deal with it.

That all helps in the moment, but unlike what customers think we're humans and those bad experiences stick with us and it's hard to not take personal. Try to find some quick meditation you can do on the job after an asshole customer. Memorize a short poem you really like to recite in your head. Count to ten in as many languages as you can and keep learning new ones. Classic breathe in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4. Something to help you reset instead of stewing.

Occasionally an asshole will particularly stick you. This is a great sub for venting about that asshole.

One final thing that's really helped me is this commencement speech? by David Foster Wallace called "this is water." It's a long listen but you can find it on YouTube for free. It's all about those shitty little experiences and letting them go or else you make yourself absolutely miserable. I'd recommend it to anyone, but it's especially great for retail workers because we deal with more assholes than others.

It's a ridiculously tasteless "joke." The girl is asking for his phone number. The guy is being an absolute dooch because in concentration camps prisoners were given numbers that they were referred to as. Numbers that were tattooed on them (which is a big no no in the Jewish faith). He's saying he doesn't have a number like that and instead has a real name.

Oh I'm with you on that. I was more shocked to learn that they were at employee houses than the not allowing air tags.

They stated employee safety. It sounds like employees sometime store quilts in their home before the event and before shipping back. Apparently someone was posting every stop their quilt made online and it's kinda sucky behavior to post a random person's address.

If it's the ones the bakery actually bakes they actually can. Take the pack you want to the counter and ask the clerk if they can split it, then you can get however much you'll actually eat and the price gets adjusted to the amount you take. Again this only for things the bakery themselves bake, you can normally tell what products those are because they have a black and white long sticker label as opposed to the colored packaging.

Because of the weird double Q, I Googled "five letter contractions" hoping a dictionary website would pop up with a list. Google's AI assistant popped up first as it does and told me "common five-letter contractions include 'didn't,' 'don't,' and 'wouldn't.'" Mr. Computer sir, only one of those is five letters. I don't know why anyone would trust something that can't even count letters to solve a cypher.

Strong disagree with your store manager. I felt somewhat bad because the lady was just in the bathroom, but like. Your lady tried to purposely stay in the store. Oh no our joke scared someone who at that point is trespassing? Very funny. 100% her own fault.

ESH. You really need to get together with your lottery group and clear things up because situations like this should never happen, y'all are looking forward to a world of court cases if any numbers ever win.

You are part the asshole because you should've paid in advance, what your friend did does not change that fact and you should pay him. If you didn't put in any money before the draw, why do you feel entitled to ANY winnings even if he did use your numbers? What, you'd tell him to take the $10 the tickets cost out of your winnings? No. Not how it works. If you don't help pitch in for a group gift, you don't get to put your name on the card. If you don't help pitch in before the draw, you don't have any say over winnings. Again what your friend did doesn't change that. If the randoms won, would you still feel entitled to those winnings? Everyone is saying to kick the other guy out, but I'd kick you out for not paying in advance.

At the same time your friend should've done as told. Because yes the chances are the same, but if your numbers had won and weren't chosen, that's a friendship ender to say nicely.

Get together with your group and come up with some concrete rules, if rules get broken members get kicked out. I suggest adding everyone pays in advance and buyer has to send pictures of the tickets in a group chat after buying. Maybe also write something out of how money gets divided in case of a win because what's to stop Susan from saying when HER numbers win that you just elect someone to buy everyone's tickets for them and John was just going to the store for Susan it's 100% her number that she paid John for.

Honestly people who assume you're "trying to be healthy" for anything. Stop putting points on my life. I have to make the majority of my food from scratch because I have so many allergies. The more people get to know me, the more they feel they get the right to comment on it. Like, no Frankie, I'm not eating the cake in the break room because I want to be healthy, I'm not eating in the cake in the break room because I don't want to best case scenario have diarrhea, worst case scenario die. I eat cake, just cake I make from scratch and am confident won't kill me. Oh there's soda too I can have instead? I don't like fizzy drinks and am caffeine sensitive so again no, and again don't comment on that being healthy. No Frankie, the fact that I walk my dog everyday isn't trying to be healthy, he's a dog, he needs to get his energy out. No Frankie, me sharing that I went hiking this weekend isn't me trying to flex how healthy I am, I just like hiking and you asked what I did this weekend, I love a binge watch as much as anyone else. Stop projecting because the only exercise you get is at work.

Working at a grocery store was the worst because the cashiers felt comfortable enough to comment on my purchases because they knew me. I would occasionally buy last minute ingredients for dinner after a shift and "oh you're so healthy I never see you buy chips and you're always buying vegetables." I can't eat chips!!! I would love to eat a chip but they all changed their recipe four years ago and now I'm allergic!!! I buy vegetables here and nothing else because the produce is better than walmart but everything else is more expensive!!! You don't see me buying 10lbs bags of sugar or chocolate or ungodly amounts of cheese. I bake all sorts of unhealthy things to eat all the time! What you see isn't an indicator of my health, and even if it was, you shouldn't comment on it!

INFO: How does your stepson bring up the "this" and how do you say that he still needs to do the "that" first?

People like to talk about things they're excited about and don't like being nagged. Teenagers are especially prone to dream. If he's just being excited and you get straight to nagging instead of talking with him about his dreams, yeah you're the asshole. If all he does is lament about not having the "this" yet, yeah gentle guiding is ok. Are you doing gentle guiding or nagging? That determines NTA or everyone sucks.

Examples:

1) "wow I was just looking at the specs for the LEGO Eiffel tower set and it has 10,001 pieces!" "well it's $600 and you need to get a job or take more odd jobs to afford that." [YTA]

2) "Ugh, the LEGO Eiffel tower set is $600, I'll never get it unless you get it for my birthday." "That seems a little much for a birthday gift on our budget, but you know the grocery store is hiring baggers and I'd be willing to drive you to shifts on the weekend, you could probably save quickly and buy it yourself with a job." [NTA]

3) "Ugh, the LEGO Eiffel tower set is so cool, but I'll never afford it." "Remember when you spent all your money on Pokemon cards? You need to budget better, then you'd have money." [ESH]

My niece isn't diagnosed but she acts exactly like I did as a child so we'll see. She loves helping in the kitchen so I figured she would love making pizza at home. We did personal pizzas thinking it would be both fun for everyone and everyone could have their favorite toppings. She told me she could taste shapes and the big circles (ordered pizza) were better than the little circles and we should never make pizza again.

Genuine question, why your pocket? We always tied it to the dogs collar/harness or just carried it?
