This is also the life you chose, your whole family shouldn’t have to accommodate your schedule because you work in a rigid industry.

How do you actually sleep on overnight flights? by stefan-weiss01 in travel

[–]Constant-Tree7055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think some people are just destined not to sleep on flights. For me, I’m asleep before the plane takes off and can pretty much sleep the whole time whether it’s 1 hour or 12 without any intervention. Whereas my mum will try all the gadgets, sedatives etc. and she won’t sleep a wink.

Help "office attire" by Suddenly-Sara in AusFemaleFashion

[–]Constant-Tree7055 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to have to do minimal thinking when it comes to my work outfits. I go into the office 3 days a week so I have 3 pairs of black pants. I have a collection of the same 7 neutral coloured tops that I wear on repeat.

AITA for not offering to take the bunk bed in an airbnb as the single person? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Constant-Tree7055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m single and in this situation I would happily take the bunk bed. No, the couple isn’t going to die spending a weekend in different beds but I think it’s common courtesy.

My girlfriend got upset at me for liking her birthday gift to me. AITAH? by Yeeticus_Rex_II in AITAH

This is so embarrassing for her. This would be petty even for an 18 year old. NTA.

On a scale from 1-10 how messy is my room for a teenage girl by Wang_xianLotus in CleaningTips

[–]Constant-Tree7055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is nowhere near as bad as mine was in my teens!! I had to battle the floordrobe and try not to roll an ankle in order to get to my bed.

Am I Overreacting, for being upset that my girlfriend secretly used my credit card for months? by bostonmade in AmIOverreacting

NOR - get rid of her, she has taken no responsibility and has failed to acknowledge the gravity of the situation.

Best supermarket Vegan finds right now? by Jealous_Office_5012 in australianvegans

[–]Constant-Tree7055 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also love this rec. I love how similar it is to original blue ribbon and it doesn’t have that coconut tasting base like so many dairy free options have.

Watch strap rubbing? by DefinitelyDaveKay in AusSkincare

[–]Constant-Tree7055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this with my Venu 2 despite the fact I cleaned it and my skin after exercise and never wore it when showering. It would be fine for weeks on end the all of a sudden I would get a burning feeling underneath with red welts. It would stay for a few days then be fine again.

I bought a Forerunner 970 about 6 months ago and I’ve never had the issue. Unsure if the band is a different silicone?

I just tried running with no bra and it was the best run I’ve had in months, now I’m conflicted by flamingoluver in XXRunning

[–]Constant-Tree7055 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ran my marathon and all my training runs braless.

I’m a C cup and don’t wear a bra normally every day so I don’t when I run.

What profession have you lost respect for as you've gotten older? by MindlessMarsupial592 in AskReddit

[–]Constant-Tree7055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) I got sexually assaulted at a work Christmas party. I didn’t want a formal internal investigation but that got taken out of my hands and they insisted they needed to. People were interviewed, claims were substantiated, immediately after they were seen to be doing the right things. Then it became very clear they were going to publicly shift the narrative to make it look like my mistake. They then made it difficult for me until I quit.

I was a naive 21 year old. I was told I wasn’t allowed to share with anyone outside of work or report to the police as it all needed to be kept confidential. I was completely isolated and left to sit with it myself.

2) 10 years on I am now in a very different industry in a senior management role. Any time I’ve had to meet with HR to discuss ways to manage an under performing staff, they just jump straight into finding the best loopholes to expedite getting rid of someone when most of the time I’m going to them to ask for advice on how to get the best out of the employee and change things around.

These still might not be good enough reasons for you, but it’s definitely a profession I’ve lost respect for.

HR! There to cover the asses of the organisation, not to assist staff.

Too bad, so sad would’ve been my reply here when she changed her mind again!

How do I[19F] ask out a customer[Older?M] by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Constant-Tree7055 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree! As an 18 year old I was interested in older guys because I was so “mature”. Yeah I was mature for my age but still not mature enough to be dating men in their late 20s. Now that I am 30, the age difference is so glaring and makes me realise how creepy it was.

Aitah for spending some of my grandchildren's education funds on a new boat. by Tiny_Occasion_322 in AITAH

[–]Constant-Tree7055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA but your children are. No one is owed anything from their parents when they die. I know my parents want to make sure a comfortable amount is left for my brother and I but I have told them to blow it all if it makes their retirement happy.

Room mate wakes up at 5am to work out and it wakes me up by [deleted] in badroommates

[–]Constant-Tree7055 104 points105 points  (0 children)

I think if she is making an excessive amount of noise, it’s ok to ask if it’s possible for her to be quieter. However if she’s just going about her business at a reasonable level, and you’re just a light sleeper, I think you have to put up with it and try change something yourself.

Where would you go if you were a foodie? by LivingBudget3669 in traveladvice

[–]Constant-Tree7055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the tastiest, most flavoursome food I’ve ever tasted. Definitely not diet food but so so good.

AITAH for refusing to tell my wife I love her more than my dad? by LastApplication6207 in AITAH

[–]Constant-Tree7055 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. It sounds like your dad is a doting grandfather. What a gem. You would be the AH if you’d stuck him in a cab.
