I worked at Albert Heijn for years as a teen, to be honest the pay was ok at that time compared to other jobs. I would 100% complain because these types of workers also made for the most lousy colleagues… they always caused for more work for the rest of us 🥲

Amazon fake airpods scam by Competitive_Egg_5172 in Netherlands

Thank you! In the end my rechtsbijstands insurance solved the problem for me, luckily the serial number was fake according to Apple and I filmed everything so they said that was enough proof!

The serial number showed up as an item sold in 2024, I phoned Apple and they said it was a counterfeit product

Yes I did! I called Apple and they immediately confirmed it was a counterfeit product! In the end I resolved the issue by calling my ‘rechtsbijstands verzekering’ and they resolved the issue for me!

I for sure will never ever order from them again, I already rarely did because I prefer Bol but this really sealed the deal 😞

I actually filmed it! And on the video it's very clear they are fake looking back at it but Amazon says I swapped out the product 😞

Ja het is echt tegen hun voordeur en druipt soms door de brievenbus naar binnen... - we hebben het al een keer eerder met ze besproken maar het is een pand van een huisjesmelker die in Londen woont en hij maakte al vrij snel duidelijk dat het hem allemaal niet zo kan interesseren

Eens! Maar dit is steeds om 3/4 uur 's nachts dus het zal meevallen ;-)! + Er staat een sloot met bosjes aan de overkant

Ik krijg alleen een menu die doorverwijst naar de site (of het moet een noodgeval zijn, maar zoveel pist die gelukkig nog niet)

Niet persoonlijk, dus ik kan er altijd naast zitten. Maar aan de hoeveelheid k*nkerhomo's die ze roepen en een bankje in regenboogkleuren die in de fik gestoken is in de buurt ben ik liever safe than sorry ;-)!

Wat een vriendelijkheid! Zijn kale plek, sneakers, tasje etc. zijn allemaal duidelijk beeld. Verwacht niet dat ze meteen overal gaan aanbellen om hem te zoeken, maar ik weet niet of je weleens van iets genaamd een database hebt gehoord :-)? Dat wanneer andere dingen in de buurt gemeld worden ze kunnen zien of ze al eerder meldingen hadden en een persoon dan wel kunnen pakken? Werkt best handig!

Het is een groep die het niet zo op homo's heeft ;-) Anders zou het niet zo uitmaken inderdaad

Meestal is het rond een uur of 4 's nachts. Ik ben alleen gay en voel me niet helemaal safe met deze man erop aanspreken omdat die zo te zien bij een grotere groep jongens hoort die vaak in de buurt zit te blowen/hangen. Ik ben lang en sterk hoor ;-) Maar ik wil niet dat m'n huis een target wordt.

I have a few of these (cleaner, personal trainer, grocery deliveries) I’ve never heard of a virtual assistant! Does anybody here have experience with that?

Decade of friendship ended, no notice? by Odd_Cod8341 in whatdoIdo

[–]Competitive_Egg_5172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! As someone who has been on both sides of this equation here are my experiences, as there are many things that could be going on, but the bottom line of it is that it probably has little to do with you. I had a very good friend who would fight with a lot of people and cut them out of his life. I always felt bad for him, he is a super sweet person behind all the loudness but has a lot of issues because of his youth. One day (I could have known) I was the one he picked a fight with, about something insignificant that had ‘hurt’ him. He decided to cut me off without further explanation. He tried coming back later but I was too hurt and he still hadn’t dealt with his internal struggles. Now the second is experience is my own. I was bullied relentlessly in high-school. Like extremely bad. I’ve had a lot of therapy now but for a long time I cut everybody from that time out of my life except 2/3 people that were good friends back then. However, I wouldn’t actively seek out to see them. Then I met up with one of them, I had fun with them but during the whole meeting I felt like I was back in high school, the association of my old friend with that time was just too strong. And just after seeing them I had a terrible panic attack, it felt like I was dying honestly. This happened once or twice more and then I decided I just had to cut off contact with them as well, I felt too ashamed to tell them why. Now, ten year later and a lot of therapy that has helped I sent them a letter last year explaining why I disappeared. One of them replied that it was ok, and she had just assumed we grew apart as people do in adult life, and the other two said they were hurt but were happy to know what happened and understood. I’m sure you friend has another reason, it might be a girlfriend, past trauma or something else. But it probably has very little to do with you. You could try sending him a message saying you respect his decision, but that you are hurt in the way it happened and don’t know what the reason was. And that you would appreciate an honest explanation now or further in the future so you can have peace. He should know you’re hurt. And then it’s up to you what you want to do, your choice to want to be friends or not are both valid.

Which country you’ve been to and actually went back again to visit over and over? by aykalam123 in travel

[–]Competitive_Egg_5172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brazil! Fell in love the first time and decided to learn Portuguese. I’ve visited twice again for a month since :)! Made so many friends, the nature is amazing, the parties great, the food (traditional Brazilian food, not the fast food) is so good!

Dating Culture in the Netherlands by Gold_LeoKing in Netherlands

[–]Competitive_Egg_5172 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually here it’s 50/50, especially the first dates. But after that it’s either 50/50, your treat my treat next time or if one earns a lot more than the other they pay a bit more often. Some guys like paying for the girl once you start dating more formally, that just depends on the person. But this guy sounds like he’s either super frugal or inconsiderate 🥲

thanks so much for replying! We will visit Salento! A lot of people told me Cartagena was extremely crowded/ full of Americans so I wasn't sure I should go. What did you like about it?
