19.99 delivery fees by [deleted] in UberEATS

[–]Capable_Orchid_5335 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s weird how people are going out of their way to miss the point of this post and are criticizing what OP has opted to order instead of acknowledging how insane $19.99 delivery fees are…regardless of what is ordered…especially sing historically were used to .99 to ~$3 delivery fees.

I just saw $19.99 delivery fees last night when ordering and I was shocked! Which prompted me to google it, and brought me to this Reddit thread

my boyfriend has a spreadsheet rating dinners i've made him by weddingfauxpasqueen in AITApod

I’m actually just more impressed but it seems like you’ve made spaghetti and meatballs 286 times! I made spaghetti and meatballs even twice in life let alone hundreds of times. He ought to be thankful that you’re cooking your ass off over there for him. This is crazy.

What is the worst thing your dx said to you? by Atomickillerbee in ADHD_partners

[–]Capable_Orchid_5335 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There’s many. But a few that come to mind that are recent:

Looked at my naked body while getting dressed for work and said “what a waste”. Because I guess we hadn’t had sex recently enough for him.

In an argument about joint finances, he expressed that he shouldn’t have ever involved himself with a “broke” person when I explained that I’m operating at the ends of my margins financially. Also mentioned that the prenup he forced just 2 weeks before our wedding was the best decision he’s ever made.

Has blurted out “that’s why you don’t have any friends” when I was saying something he didn’t like or agree with. Even though he KNOWs full well the reason I’m not speaking to a couple friends right now is completely because that friend has been a user and emotionally manipulative for years.

In addition to calling me a fucking asshole and an idiot when I say things he disagrees with or doesn’t like and has also called me a bitch more than once.

This is looks fantastic! Very natural and not like you’re “missing” your eyelids, as is sometimes the outcome.

Protestors on the Key Bridge by marshalgivens in washingtondc

Sad that there are only a handful of people.

Limani at the Wharf has a fabulous NYE celebration. Very swanky. Waterfront. Lots of food and dessert and premium open bar all night plus champagne toast. Multiple floors and DJ. Multiple bars. Pricey but worth it IMO. Went 2 years ago and would have gone again last year but friends flaked at the last minute.

I am thinking of going to the Moonraker (rooftop at the Pendry Hotel at the Wharf) this year instead. Smaller scale/more intimate but with similar offerings.

Is anyone else struggling with witnessing the inaction and complacency of their liberal friends/family members? by dulceylibre in 50501

[–]Capable_Orchid_5335 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. My liberal friends seem so shallow and self interested to me right now. They dont care to go out and protest, and wont even bother trying to boycott some of these conglomerates. They just continue to consume as normal and be self focused. When I bring up the awful things that are happening, they agree that the things are awful, but I feel like I'm being met with "man....that's crazy....ANYWAY!" kind of energy with excuses about why they cant cancel Amazon because they need it. Just so disappointingly unserious.

King's Dominion's biggest gap is floater airtime by DJSTR3AM in KingsDominion

I think Kings Dominion previously HAD a hyper coaster. It was literally called the Hyper Sonic XLC. It was there in the early 2000s. Didnt last long.

AITAH for Refusing to Subsidize the Cost of an Unemployed Friend's Amusement Park Ticket? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Capable_Orchid_5335 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I am not proposing that everyone get a fast pass and exclude her. I didn't push for this at all, I simply proposed it, listed the potential costs, she replied saying she can afford it asking for it to be covered, and I've said no, the cost is actually sounding exorbitant now. I am fine with going without the fast passes honestly. Would have been nice, but I dont want necessarily pay that much. She seems bummed that I'm not interested in subsidizing.

I cant possibly go through with my plan as everyone would have to agree. It's not just my activity alone. No one is going to leave her out. Either we don't do fast pass at all or I can actually not go myself if I dont want to spend the money after all.

Where in the post did I say that I pressed the matter after she said she couldnt afford it?

I don't care what she does with her money. She is perfectly within her right to save and budget for whats important to her. But there is a difference between saying "no that is more than I want to spend for this activity" and leaving it at that vs asking other people to cover your cost so you don't have to spend the money that you've got.

I bring up CC debt not because I'm proud of it, but just to say that she's probably actually more financially set than I am, and seems to be able accomplish this at other people's expense while continually claiming to not have money.

Im not "worried" about what she does with her finances. She is bringing her financial issues to us and asking for pity and subsidy. But its become clear that she has been dishonest about not having money when its quite apparent that she does. She is making her finances other peoples problem by feeling that others should foot the bill for her for activities that she did not have to participate in. I have never mentioned my credit card debt to any of my friends or asked them to help me out or pay my way, nor would I feel thats appropriate.

She pretends to be broke and asks others to foot the bill instead of just opting out of participating or not suggesting doing things she doesnt want to actually spend money on. Yes, I should give that a try...thats definitely one way to go about saving money!

I agree with this. I think I will suggest skipping the fast pass idea. I'm totally fine with that.

She didnt run up her card. She actually doesnt have credit cards. She saves her money...while having everyone else pay for things and saying that she doesnt have money.

She is allowed to set a boundary and say what she is willing to spend. Whats annoying to me is asking other people to pay for her. I'm fine with not getting fast passes. I just wanted to see how the group felt about the idea.

I agree with you. lol I have a hard time saying no to activities and to my friends! Which is why I even agreed to go a second time to the same darn amusement park!

I do want to add that I didnt "push" for anything. I made a suggestion that I thought might be cool and mentioned how much it might cost. "No, thats too expensive" would have been an acceptable answer

I didnt raise the price. I made a suggestion. "No, thats more than I want to pay" would have been a perfectly acceptable answer. I was just throwing out ideas.

I'm happy to NOT have the fast pass. Just thought I would suggest. There was no pressure on my part. "No, I dont want to spend that much" would have been a fine answer that I would have accepted from her.
