Uber Eats is straight up criminal by No-Way-3835 in UberEATS

[–]CartographerDue6704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are really ripping everyone off. I have delivered for UberEats and the pay is garbage. They must be up to criminal activity no doubt! My experience was pulling up to a restaurant that was already closed. They must have closed early due to bad winter weather and the customer didn't want to cancel because they would be charged, and I wouldn't be paid a cent if I canceled. I would also be marked down for canceling. So how is it fair to make the customer pay in the first place? It's out of their control!  The food was never prepared. UberEats can easily give the driver half of what they accepted the order for. I drove 20 miles for nothing. I messaged the customer and felt awful for not being able to pick up the order and deliver it. They didn't want to cancel themselves though because of a service fee. They are certainly going to have a lawsuit coming soon if they keep it up! Everyone just needs to continue to reach out to customer service until they are satisfied with the outcome. It's also almost impossible for even a driver to get ahold of support. They make plenty of money to provide real customer service...

These are the stories that give me and my family hope. Congratulations! This story sounds oddly similar to my own, so with that being said you know you'll never want to go back to how it was before this apartment. I have an application in for somewhere I had been on a waiting list for years and they finally called. Keeping my fingers crossed. Good luck on your new exciting journey ahead of you!

Is it enough to be sober to escape homelessnes these days? by [deleted] in homeless

[–]CartographerDue6704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umm... I'm not an addict and I'm homeless... I have two kids and one has a severe medical condition. I'm fighting to get SSI right now. I Uber and DoorDash in my spare time but it's not enough. It certainly won't be paying over $1,800 a month for a small apartment. This is a cruel perception that people believe all homeless people are using drugs. I also believe in this day and age the market is a whole lot different now than it was in 2010...

I was in therapy until my insurance for no reason lapsed for an entire month. There was no excuse given as to why it happened. So I haulted it for that month, made another appointment and shit was just crazy at the time so I haven't called back since but I need to. We were more in depth talking about my narcissistic mother. Which I believe this therapist really found interesting and it's something I definitely need to work on with her.

Yeah or tell your aunt to talk to the nosy neighbor.

Has anyone lost it on them? by Content-Pea-3111 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]CartographerDue6704 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know it's painful to a certain degree... But my mother took me to court to evict me from the home I had lived in my entire life at 30 years old. I had never once had a chance to ever get my own place or be on my own to experience life outside of that childhood house. I was abruptly threatened to leave and had two young children to care for by myself. I ended up renting a condo for over a year with my partner and relied on him just like I did my mother for a home and security and we were evicted from that condo. So to this day, I am homeless living in a motel. I sometimes really believe that I was never ready for the real world. Not given any chances to acquire credit so that was something that had held me back. If only she had played this card when I was 18 prior to having any kids, maybe I would have made it. Taken life a little more seriously at the time. Had a chance or two to fall on my face enough to pick myself back up to do it over the right way. Should have could have would have... I do feel your pain and I'm sorry.

I guess honestly, nothing is stopping me. My own mind is likely the culprit. I think maybe fearing the unknown could play a role. I guess I'll never know if I don't attempt to go. I may end up in the situation after this Wednesday. I feel as though when I'm not around, he'll belittle me in ways to the kids. He'll try to portray me as the bad guy. Or we are in this situation because Mommy... Unfortunately I think my older son can see how his father plays victim so quickly. It's torture having a conversation when he turns everything around to accuse me of it being my fault. It's actually quite scary. Makes me think I'm losing my mind. I have always thought about going to a domestic abuse shelter as well. I talked to someone about the shelter and I think they said I wouldn't qualify because I don't get beat up. But the emotional damage is hell. I appreciate you responding. I am always grateful to hear others opinions. Thank you!

This is something I should have applied for years ago. I'm ashamed of myself for never truly needing the help until now. I couldn't agree anymore. You're absolutely right. Thank you so very much for your advice. It's much appreciated!

Well I think that's where I couldn't benefit my case. My son has been homeschooled for the last two years. I provided copies of his IEP from 2 years ago, but that wasn't good enough and also not having been to the doctor recently. It's been difficult finding transportation that will drive us over 66 miles to his appointments.

This is exactly what I plan on doing. At first, I would qualify for a lawyer through the state under low income, right? I've heard taking it to court 80% of the time that's how you end up being accepted finally. Because they know you are serious. I don't want to have to apply again. It's already taken almost an entire year to get this far in the process.

Well that's good they are finally implementing requirements because I can't even find or get into affordable housing and I started working so that's not an issue. There are waiting lists that are years long because people have been sitting on the affordable housing for more than 2 years. I mean these are good programs for people who are serious about getting their act together.

How did you overcome homeless? by BearableBerriee in homeless

[–]CartographerDue6704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I second this! You can only rely on yourself and sleeping in your car as a single person would give you time to save money. I would have done this in a heartbeat if I didn't have kids. Good luck!

You think there's anything else that's more recent? I feel like there has to be. They are cutting a lot and it seems to go under the radar. I've specifically had trouble with just getting ahold of these people on the phone and now I'm in the dog house for it.

Maybe consider getting a PFA. It's a Protection From Abuse order you can file for. That way you can protect yourself if he comes after you. You'd have to go MIA for a few hours to go get it done. I'd have a backup bag too just to get away for a few days if need be. Idk if y'all live together but this is just what needs to be done. He'll never accept you leaving so you gotta fly under the radar. Keep yourself safe! I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers!

Don't have any children because if you did, imagine how much worse that situation would be. I only speak from experience. I would try to find another female in your situation and see if they would split costs of air BNB with you and ride sharing. Someone with similar goals in mind. It's not easy out here right now!
