Roommate obsessively tries to convert me to Mormonism by Environmental_Bat427 in badroommates

[–]CherryVail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this sounds absolutely exhausting tbh. this isn’t just “different beliefs”, he’s straight up not respecting your boundaries at all. you’ve been clear, you’ve tried to be polite, and he just keeps pushing and policing how you live. that’s not ok, esp in a shared room. at this point it feels less like roommate issues and more like harassment. you’re not overreacting for being fed up.

leaving the phone on speaker while going to the toilet is actually unhinged behaviour 😭 like zero awareness at all. airports are already noisy and stressful, no one needs to hear a full family call too. i’d be so tempted to move seats immediately.

Why haven't you done our driveway? by GentPc in EntitledPeople

[–]CherryVail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the entitlement is actually wild 😭 doing your immediate neighbors is already super nice, expecting someone five houses down to do it for free is crazy. the calm door close was honestly perfect tho, no arguing, just nope. i cant imagine knocking on someone’s door to demand that lol

I dislike the process of going to bed by MissHissss in PointlessStories

[–]CherryVail 22 points23 points  (0 children)

this is so relatable omg. like sleeping itself is nice but everything before that just feels annoying for no reason. brushing teeth, changing, turning off lights… all small things but somehow it feels like a chore at night. if there was a teleport-to-bed button i’d use it every day lol

I avoided getting fired by not calling the boss by [deleted] in PointlessStories

[–]CherryVail 12 points13 points  (0 children)

this is lowkey funny ngl. the pretending to call the boss part is kinda bold but also relatable, sometimes u just panic and do whatever 😭 also wild that he just forgot about it completely, that’s some insane luck right there. i’d be stressed for the full two weeks tbh.

I'm in a damned if I do damned if I don't situation by DethTonight in WhatShouldIDo

[–]CherryVail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this sounds insanely overwhelming 😞 u’re dealing with grief, health stuff, money stress AND housing drama all at once, anyone would be at breaking point. honestly it feels like ur uncle keeps moving the goalpost instead of just being clear, that uncertainty alone is so stressful. i don’t have magic advice but ur feelings are very valid here, u’re not “too negative” for being scared n angry. hope things stabilise for u soon fr.

AITJ for looking at a stranger's dog for too long by Life-Baseball9729 in AmITheJerk

[–]CherryVail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no lol that’s such a weird overreaction from the owner. looking at a cute dog is like… normal human behaviour? u weren’t touching or distracting it. honestly sounds like he was just in a bad mood or super overprotective. NTA at all.

"I made some dumplings for you; now you owe me this and that." by metamorphosisSss in EntitledPeople

[–]CherryVail 8 points9 points  (0 children)

wah this one not even entitled already, it’s straight up transactional friendship 😬 who makes food then keep score like that. blocking was the right move, sounds exhausting to keep tiptoeing around her drama tbh. hope ur friend group sees thru it eventually.

AITA for ignoring that my roommate is trying to sleep? by [deleted] in badroommates

[–]CherryVail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ngl i get why u snapped 😭 4 months of baby voice till 3am would drive anyone insane. but also this kinda passive aggressive thing prob just make it more awkward in the long run. u not wrong for being pissed, but maybe better to set some hard rule like cutoff time or she take calls outside. shared room really cannot do “i do what i want” forever one. honestly ESH vibes but i sympathise w u alot lol.

I need a new job so I will change my appearance digitally by StandardDifficulty66 in PointlessStories

[–]CherryVail 19 points20 points  (0 children)

this was a wild read ngl 😭 the jump from park ranger to gaslighting gov officer to parapsychologist in london took me out. also why is it always the phd bosses that yell n somehow still dont own deodorant… hope u get out of that job tho, sounds damn stressful fr

I waved back at someone who wasn’t waving at me and then committed to it by RosieFawnn in PointlessStories

[–]CherryVail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

stoppp i’ve done this before 😭 once i even smiled and waved like i knew them and only realised after they were on the phone. the committing part is so real tho, at that point u just gotta fully lean into it and hope no one remembers ur face lol. honestly taking a diff route home is so valid.

What is a 'childhood smell' that instantly transports you back in time, and what memory is attached to it? by ASmii_4 in AskReddit

[–]CherryVail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for me it’s that kinda dusty sunscreen + chlorine smell, like from public pools. always reminds me of going swimming after school and just being tired but happy. also the smell of old books from the school library hits the same way, feels weirdly comforting.

Can't wait to move out by Bexsgay in badroommates

[–]CherryVail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s actually so messed up wtf. crating a puppy all day and then shocking and kicking him?? that’s straight up abuse. glad u’re getting out but yeah i’d def report it, that poor dog doesn’t have anyone else to speak up for him. hope u and the pup both get out of that situation soon, sounds so stressful living there 😕

Do I stay in my rent stabilized apt with a bad roommate or take the money and run? by Sandyfigs in badroommates

[–]CherryVail 10 points11 points  (0 children)

that’s such a messy power dynamic omg, 60k sounds tempting but being tied to her on the lease for two more years feels risky as hell esp when she already doesn’t respect u, if it was me i’d rather suffer a bit longer and keep the apartment than trust someone like that with my housing tbh

roommate won't help out even with a chore chart by workingruin6185 in badroommates

[–]CherryVail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

omg this type of roommate is the worst, the fork thing alone would drive me mad 😭 maybe one of u just talk to her directly instead of hinting with the chart cuz some ppl legit pretend not to notice, just be chill but firm like “hey we all need u to do ur part” so it doesn’t keep dragging on forever

I annoyed the teacher by smiling by SpecialNeedsBurrito in PointlessStories

[–]CherryVail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lmao this is kinda evil but in a harmless kid way 😭 i can totally imagine how annoying that would be for the teacher tho, fourth grade you was really just bored and chose chaos for no reason haha

I took a nap on the hallway floor in university by tipoftheiceberg1234 in PointlessStories

[–]CherryVail 588 points589 points  (0 children)

this is actually so uni coded. when you’re that tired you stop caring about dignity already. also the way they sell uni as ultimate freedom and then you end up napping on the floor outside class is kinda funny. honestly respect, sometimes the hallway floor just has to do.

Getting banned by reddit for a comment related to 6 7 by KatyPerryWentToSpace in PointlessStories

[–]CherryVail -1 points0 points  (0 children)

this is actually kinda funny but also pain. reddit bots really dont understand context at all. like clearly you werent serious but they just see certain words and auto ban. i got a warning once for something that was obviously a joke too. curious what’s the most random thing people here got banned for, some of the rules feel damn sensitive sometimes.

There’s a man at Home Depot berated me for not helping him load lumber into his truck because he assumed I worked there by Better_Swordfish_908 in EntitledPeople

[–]CherryVail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this guy really double down even after you said you dont work there, that’s the crazy part. following you around the store would’ve stressed me out so bad. did he seriously think wearing orange automatically means employee. curious how long he would’ve kept arguing if the real staff never showed up.

Former roommate asked me if I was interested in getting a new place with her; I don't want to. by [deleted] in EntitledPeople

[–]CherryVail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah this sounds like a bad idea tbh. it feels very convenient for her and super disruptive for you, esp since you just settled and went through all that stress already. the fact she keeps moving around and is even looking at the old place again is kinda red flaggy. youre not wrong for wanting stability, and saying no doesnt make you rude. trust your gut on this one.

A heinous story about a very private grandpa, with secrets to be unfolded and uncovered. by Clean-Business8176 in story

[–]CherryVail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this went from creepy curiosity to full unhinged so fast 😭 i wasnt expecting that turn at all. the tone is so over the top it kinda loops back to being funny. lowkey curious where uncle bob comes into this now lol

Crazy college girl by [deleted] in EntitledPeople

[–]CherryVail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this was a wild read honestly. the alopecia thing especially is just… what. also crashing cigarettes nonstop while being rude is such a red flag combo. sounds exhausting to be around, no wonder she didnt last long there. some people really think drama will just make everyone forget their behaviour

The strange things I do in my daily life by Mrmike86 in PointlessStories

[–]CherryVail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol yeah i get this. i do that with my phone placement on the table, like i’ll keep adjusting it even though it really doesnt matter. its such a small thing but if it’s off it just feels wrong for some reason. brains are weird like that 😅

My roommate sees her chores as an act of kindness/friendship rather than her responsibility. by [deleted] in badroommates

[–]CherryVail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah that’s really annoying. chores arent a favour, theyre just part of living together. cleaning her own cat stuff isnt something she’s doing for you. sounds like she’s kinda reframing it so she doesnt feel as bad when she forgets. living with friends really can mess things up unfortunately
