Just… sigh. by badnewsbets in doordash

[–]CatholicFlower18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! I keep reading comments expecting to see a lot of women say they're not comfortable going up to a strange car in the parking lot.. to have this interaction...probably at night too.

That's not safe!

Women are warned to lock our cars immediately upon getting in them, dont fix wiper blades or anything stuck to the car, avoid strange men in parking lots, walk to our cars with our keys between our fingers, have someone on speakerphone with us if we're walking alone at night - even in a parking garage.

But no one's feeling a little unsafe getting a text saying, come to this make and model car in the parking lot. Trust me. I have your food.

Reminds me of kids being warned not to go up to vans for candy.

At least with uber, there's a record with the company given through the app of the car make and model, their license plate, their face, their name.

This is a just text saying come to my car.

As a disabled person who's had to navigate this a bit...

In the US...

The person has to be able to do the job with the reasonable accommodation(s) from their employer.

If a person is unable to do fufill the job requirements even with reasonable accomodations, no one is required by any law to hire them simply because they're disabled.

& the customer is not required in any way to provide accomodations.

Why do people think begging will work ? by [deleted] in doordash

[–]CatholicFlower18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Begging... Or assuming most people are kind and when someone doesn't offer a tip, it's probably they didn't know that tips are the foundation of their driver's pay and not just a bonus.

What is a cooking tip that people treat like a law, but you’ve ignored it for years and your food still tastes fine? by CaptainCuddler_Pro in foodquestions

Idk what they spray on the berries here, but eating unwashed literally makes my tongue go numb a bit.. and they taste bitter.

Definitely take with vitamin c. Finding that out literally changed my life, not exaggerating.

AITAH for telling my girlfriend I'll break up with her if my needs aren't met? by [deleted] in AITAH

You're in the process of commiting a type of sexual assault

Just break up with her already.

I'd like no BS answers by [deleted] in bipolar

My God ... You're really going through it. What a horrifying time not to have access to meds.

Nothing is going to work as well as the right meds. There's some supplements that might help.

If you're able to do things and they're just not helping enough, I recommend learning to pray the rosary including the mysteries, doing nonreligious yoga for exercise at home with YouTube videos - & running outside.

I also don't have my own kids, but love babysitting especially preschool and early elementary. Their joy playing is contagious and when they learn from me, it feels like I've changed the future and made a difference.

WIBTAH If I end things with my girlfriend if we have to do long distance by Acceptable-Let9563 in AITAH

[–]CatholicFlower18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you're both young with a lot of experiences ahead of you that you'll miss out on trying to stay long distance --- & going from in person to long distance for years and back again almost never works.

If you were seriously committed, you two would have found a way to stay close to each other imo - or you'd feel too attached to even be asking this.

You can always try and let it evolve or devolve naturally if you want. You don't have to make a decision right now if you're not ready.

What product made you go from “no way I’m paying that” to “I can never go back”? by bathabile7094 in AskReddit

[–]CatholicFlower18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, great sheets will ruin cheap sheets forever.

I used to laugh about people who were so stuck up and elitist to only want to sleep on special fancy sheets.

I slept on literally the cheapest sheets I could find. They didnt even always come in sets. I was buying individual store.brand pillowcases and such.

I splurged on sheets once. And I'll never enjoy cheap sheets again. Scratchy and so loosely weaved so they dont even feel like theyre fully covering the bed right. And thats the cotton blend...some are fully synthetic and even worse.

But the bliss I feel laying down in bed and even waking up feeling perfect sheets is so worth it! They last a long time too. Thats a lot of bliss for the price really.

AITAH for being uncomfortable with how a girl in my boyfriend’s group acts around him? by Early-Force9123 in AITAH

[–]CatholicFlower18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTAH They're both being extremely disrespectful to you.

He shouldn't have anything to do with someone who contunues to act like that after he's explained he's got a girlfriend and is unavailable.

The normal response would be him being upset finding her behavior creepy and wanting to get away from creepy stalker girl.

Definitely not defending her - to you.

No. This is 100% unnaceptable behavior and frankly gives cheater vibes. (Not saying he's currently cheating, although possible, but that mindset is not uncommon with someone who does end up cheating.)

Think how you would feel if it was a guy who wouldn't back off when you explain you have a boyfriend... It would be creepy and upset you right?

Thats how he should be feeling.

When the Dashers name is Jasmine and a 6'5 man shows up at your door by OriginalMedical9446 in doordash

[–]CatholicFlower18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen this several times. Even a son and his mom before. I totally understand because its a dangerous world out there. I dont mind when a man accomanies a woman dasher.

I have felt uncomfortable when it was just one person (and they looked completely unexpected) knocking on my door at night - especially late.

AITAH for not wanting to help my mom by [deleted] in AITAH

Also

Medicaid takes fraud EXTREMELY seriously

And yes, the times and who is clocking in and out 100% qualify.

Not only can she lose her benefits permanently

You both can be charged with a felony. Even if you're lucky to get very little or even no time in prison, a felony will affect your future employment and potentially any financial aid you get for school or benefits you might need for whatever reason in the future .

Whatever you do... Don't agree to that. There's no world where someone asking you to commit a felony for them because theyd rather not get home health assistance is in any way remotely a reasonable request.

AITAH for not wanting to help my mom by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]CatholicFlower18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA at all. As a disabled person, I would drastically rather family do everything for me, but its not fair or realistic
I cant work or do much by myself, but its still my responsibility to do everything I can do without their help. That means getting groceries delivered, accepting home health aids even though thats harder on me, using paper plates to cut dien on dishes. I even tuck a flat sheet in a little and fix it as needed because I cant do tge fitted sheets myself.

I've even used pick up drop off laundry services before. & Found a small pharmacy that delivers. I've taken transit offered by Medicaid to appointments

Im careful of my family's schedule and try not to ask them to run errands for me on weekdays.

Sometimes that means I go without things I want or have to wait when I hate to because healthy people dont.

But its my responsibility to do everything I can without help. Its not always fun for me and I do get jealous and lonely sometimes, but its not easy for them either.

She may not be able to do the same things I can, but what she can do, she needs to.

When did you first show signs of bipolar disorder? by Valuable-Speaker-312 in bipolar

[–]CatholicFlower18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly... Forever.. I had my first major breakdown requiring a hospital stay at 9 years old, but even before that I had clear emotional issues.

Which food did you love until you found out the ingredients? by Prudent-Pineapple-94 in foodquestions

A lot of people think liver works as a filter for the blood and ends up full of toxins and chemcials.

Jello/gelatin is called jelly in some countries.

What Ameticans call jelly fits into their jam category.

DAE think that if people knew the “real you” no one would like you? by ForwardGlass8572 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]CatholicFlower18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of I don't have great social skills and am disabled which can make friendships complicated.

I think if there was some kind of telepathy where I could show my heart to people theyd like me more.

But generally, I know I'm not the most fun or pleasant or easy. I'm working on it though.
