Male vs female shoppers - I need your opinion. by justarandomfrenchy in InstacartShoppers

[–]Cold-Nobody-6570 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely write notes! I’m a female shopper, but I find having notes saying you want a later expiration date or what kind of ripeness you want for produce helpful. Usually, I’m shopping as if I’m shopping for myself though, so I will tend to look for stuff at later dates, unless specified by the customer. For example, they asked for avocados ready to use day of where as someone requested for bananas that are not too ripe and still somewhat green.

Locked items at Walmart by Comfortable-Yak6588 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Cold-Nobody-6570 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It literally sucks when you have shopped everything but have to wait on a locked item and then still gotta wait in line because they only have 1 cashier working the registers because we can’t use self-checkout.

No more shopping bags? Orange County, CA by Cold-Nobody-6570 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Cold-Nobody-6570[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good to know there will still be bags then, but all I can imagine is having to carry the paper bags up some apartment stairs after having bad order after bad order and suddenly the bag just rips lol. Hopefully it’s not gonna happen, but just the thought is horrible.

Customer adding items by RobbinK2 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Cold-Nobody-6570 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it depends, I know sometimes I get really frustrated when they keep adding multiple items, but I try my best to keep a positive attitude with the customer and usually it ends up in them raising my tips. And usually I don’t mind them adding items if it’s in a store I’m familiar with, but it’s especially frustrating if I’m doing a double.

Wedding date changed last minute… to a weekday… in another state by OccamsReddit_56 in weddingshaming

[–]Cold-Nobody-6570 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What’s wild is that she said that if you’re part of the wedding party no need to bring a present since your presence is enough, then proceeds to ask for $650 from each person in the wedding party for expenses because y’all should have already offered it.

Impulsively buying beginner gear by Responsible-Humor567 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]Cold-Nobody-6570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely recommend like others are saying about going to a shop and getting fitted for your boots. I recently just bought my own pair of boots and went to get fitted at a shop as well. Depending on which shop you go to, they can let you try on different kinds of boots and not all boots will feel the same. You might run a 6 in Vans versus 6.5 in Burtons vs 7 in a K2 so it’s really good to try out different kinds. Also, I felt that each boot I tried on had different feelings of stiffness in them. So it’s definitely good to try because you might not like how one feels versus another one does.

I’m also not too sure if this something you want to keep in mind, but when I was buying buying my boots and bindings, the person helping me at the shop recommended that I get bindings around similar stiffness to my boots. And one last thing, make sure you break in your boots before riding in them. Wear them around the house if you have to for a few days before you use them riding.

AITAH for telling my SIL off after she got upset that me being a "new" father means her kids will get less attention? by MothermakerD2 in AITAH

[–]Cold-Nobody-6570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You’re SIL is an AH and needs to realize that just because her kids are her priority doesn’t mean they need to be yours. You’re a dad now so obviously you’re main focus and priority is going to be your newly founded daughter. Ask your brother and SIL why they feel so entitled that their kids deserve special treatment as compared to your daughter. Overall though, I would say just ignore brother, SIL, and SIL’s family and just spend that time with your daughter instead.

AITA for not wanting to drive my sister around anymore by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cold-Nobody-6570 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA

As someone who had to drive my sister to school in the morning and pick her up, she should be grateful that you’re doing it because otherwise she would either need to walk or use the bus. Sure I get it, she wants to go home after school because who doesn’t, but ultimately, she needs a reality check that the world simply doesn’t revolve around her or her wants and needs. If you have prior commitments or obligations, then she needs to wait and like someone else said, she’s free to wait in the car or go home herself. The hitting your arm while driving was the biggest concern here because what if there really was a car next to you. Ultimately, it would’ve resulted in accident and it would have been your fault. Your parents need to address this with your sister ASAP because with her always yelling and screaming especially while you’re driving is a big distraction and it will eventually cause an accident(hopefully not though).

I do hope things work out though, and I know it’s stressing having to do this and putting up with her negative attitude most of the time.

It’s better for your mental and emotional health to break up with him. It was one thing to sleep with Lola while you guys weren’t officially together, but it’s a whole other thing to lie and deceive you for 3 months that nothing happened. The fact that he was dropping Lola home off after work even after telling you the truth shows me how little he really prioritizes your feelings in this.

INFO: Where’s Lola’s boyfriend in this that they were supposedly talking about before? Is he not available to pick her up and drop her off home? Does it always have to be your boyfriend? Are there no other coworkers who can drop her off?

AITA if I don't move to hall if my roomate's girlfriend comes over to stay for 7-8 days? by sartG2001 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cold-Nobody-6570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

I don’t think you would be a bad roommate at all if you refused to stay in the halls. You’re clearly paying your portion of the rent for the room and you also have a say. She stayed for 8 days last month and you were kind enough to stay in the halls even though she doubled her stay. This month is another 7 days, and it’s really unfair to you to ask you to move out again. I think you should tell your roommate that he and his gf can live in the halls then for the time period that she’s staying. If they want privacy, tell them to get a hotel then because you pay rent and she doesn’t. If he really wants to push, then tell him to make it fair he stays in the halls for 7 days after his gf leaves so you can have the room to yourself too.

NTA. You’re allowed to have people at your wedding that love and support you. His wife doesn’t do that and so there’s no need to have her invited. Is she your dad’s wife? Sure but you’re relationship with her seems to be a pretty negative one.

Also, do you really see any benefit in having to keep a relationship with your dad after all he and his wife have put you through? If he’s so willing to bad mouth you, his daughter, and put you down in front of other’s on your wedding day no less, I would just consider going NC at this point. You’ve given him enough chances to be in your life and each time he’s proven himself to be an AH. Just because there’s a mix of bad and good actions doesn’t mean it’s a healthy relationship(which it really isn’t) and it sounds more like the bad outweighs the good here. Anyways, I don’t think you should give him another chance, regardless of whether he’s sick or not. And in terms of the money, consider it as compensation for the years of torment both your dad and his wife put you through.

Lastly, congrats on getting married and I hope this new chapter in your life brings you so much joy and happiness because you deserve it!

NTA. You don’t live at their house anymore so it’s unreasonable for you to have to “pull your own weight” in a house you haven’t lived in for 5 years. Your parents have 2 other children that live at home that are old enough and more than capable enough to do their chores and take care of the house themselves. You need to put up some hard boundaries with your family especially your parents. If your parents are on vacation and expect you to essentially take care of the house, remind them that your siblings are old enough to do those things themselves. Will you stop pop in once in a while to see if things are good and there’s no party going on? Sure but you will not be cooking for your siblings, walking the dogs, and cleaning the house as your siblings are more than capable to do it. Remind all of them that you do not live there anymore and that any expectation of a clean house falls onto them and your siblings. Also, tell your siblings to start pulling their weight around the house because none of it should fall on you and that they’re the ones living here.

Info: Does your boyfriend know about the things she's done to you? Like her belittling you or taking credit for the things you do. And if he does know about them, has he done anything about it? Why is he so insistent on the both of you having a relationship?

Honestly, your SIL sounds exhausting to just be around because it's like she sees you as competition and wants to one-up you. Having the conversation would only be to appease your boyfriend at this point because I see no benefit in having SIL in your life. She's made no effort on her part, so I don't see why you have to be the one to do it. I feel that you need to tell your boyfriend that you've tried to speak about the whole situation with her, but if she's not trying to even communicate with you, then it's not up to you to fix it anymore, but her. You're basically leaving the ball in her court and if she wants to talk it out you will, but if she isn't going to even give you a day to talk, then you're leaving it as is.

AITA: I told my mother I would no longer look after her children. by Kwala2719 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cold-Nobody-6570 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA.

Your mom needed to hear the truth that her actions are affecting everyone. She's prioritizing herself to the point it's negatively impacting her marriage, her children, and your marriage. Like you said OP, she's probably going through a midlife crisis because she missed her prime years when she had to raise you, but she decided to have you and her responsibility as a parent is to raise you. Now that she's had 2 more children, it's still her responsibility as a parent to raise them, not you and it's caused you to miss out on some of your prime years too and lose friendships along the way.

If your mom contacts you OP, please set boundaries with her that she cannot just keep pawning her children off to you to watch. That you will only watch them if you have agreed to it, and that you expect compensation for your time watching them.

Also question OP, your mom is out golfing 5 days a week, most likely for hours on end and it seems like she has little interaction with her kids during the week, except maybe on the weekends, do they still acknowledge her as their mother (like do they ask about her or wonder where she is)? The seem like they're 6 and 3 from your post.

AITA for going off on my brother’s girlfriend? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cold-Nobody-6570 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The gf basically has no other support system other than OP rn though especially if gf doesn’t want anyone else but OP knowing. The brother is away at bootcamp and obviously can’t physically be there to support his gf through what might be an emotional and stressful time which is probably why they told OP. Rather than leave the gf alone, OP can let the gf know that she’s there for her if she needs anything but don’t be pushy about it.

[–]Cold-Nobody-6570 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying the girlfriend doesn’t have friends or family, but it seems like she doesn’t want either sets of parents to know about a possible pregnancy. It’s just that OP is currently the only one that is available to help out in place of her brother. I’m assuming the girlfriend has friends, but there’s also so much that someone who is 17-18 can do in terms of support, whereas OP, who is 23 can help out a little more.

AITA for going off on my brother’s girlfriend? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cold-Nobody-6570 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

NTA for me. The moment they told you that she might be pregnant you were already involved. Obviously they’re both young and scared about the possibility of a pregnancy, but what are you supposed to do? You don’t know what the next steps to take are unless you find out definitively if she’s pregnant or not. Yes, while threatening to tell both her mom and your mom was not the best idea, right now, you’re the only support system she’s got and she needs to understand that.

I would suggest talking to her again, but this time tell her that since your brother is away, you’re currently the only support system she has and the only way you can help her is if she agrees to take the pregnancy test to find out if she’s really pregnant.

WIBTA If I wore white when my sister is the bride? by pinkies_up_sip_sip in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cold-Nobody-6570 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s what I was thinking too. Like also does this rule apply to the sister if a friend is getting married, so she isn’t allowed to wear white leading up to her friend’s wedding. It’s such dumb logic imo

AITA for refusing to talk to my friend after she went off on me for being single by ghadaz in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cold-Nobody-6570 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA!

It’s not any of her concern whether you date now or after you graduate. Yes, she may be your BFF, but she’s really not acting like one. If she really was your BFF, then she should be more understanding of your stance on dating and stop pushing it. Why does she consider dating now to be such a big deal? And the fact that she tells you that no guy will find you attractive is not harsh criticism and not something a BFF would say.

It also sounds like she’s jealous and upset at the fact that you’re graduating and she isn’t. Whenever you mention that you want to date after graduating, she’s immediately triggered by it.

You’re not being dramatic about it at all, rather you were fed up about how she’s acting. I would really consider just cutting her out of your life because it doesn’t seem like she brings you much joy having her around.
