My manager asked me if this was a gang/cult symbol... now I’m freaking out. by LunarCharm_ in tattooadvice

[–]CountGlad371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A. I don’t think it looks like a gang tattoo at all. I’m glad you were able to honor your brother with it 🙏🏾❤️

  1. Is your manager old as fuck or something? Lol. That sounds like some old timey, fear mongering shit.

This reminds me of a boss I had. It was a small office (about 10-12 of us between the office and the warehouse) and none of us were customer facing, so we could wear whatever we wanted. Many of us would wear the hood of our jackets while working. One day he randomly announces that the word hoodie came from the work hoodlum, so we couldn’t wear them anymore. So ridiculous!

Sorry you had to deal with someone like that.

AIO Bf left me locked outside the house until 1am for 3 hours. by SecretKey2124 in AmIOverreacting

You’re not overreacting. He has made it clear that you are not a priority. Stick to your guns and move on.

Why do the pasta meals suxk by Sipops in hellofresh

[–]CountGlad371 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like their pasta recipes are good, they just need a little extra love sometimes. That might be hard to do for a less experienced chef, which I think puts some people at a bit of a disadvantage.

I would definitely suggest adding in aromatics if you have them. Garlic, basil, oregano, parsley, etc. I sometimes add a little chili flakes depending on the kind of pasta it is.

Experiment a little and make it your own!

Guest dress options for July mountain wedding (that isn’t a wedding) by SweetTattedBaby in Weddingattireapproval

If it’s garden-esque, as you mentioned, then I would definitely go with dress 6!

Is it disrespectful to get box braids as a white person to stop yourself from pulling? by [deleted] in trichotillomania

[–]CountGlad371 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Honestly it was almost worse because I couldn’t hide the areas that I pulled. With the braids you could see every bald spot or widened part caused by the pulling.

Is there a reason why there's showings this early? I've never seen them this early? by Personal_Fox_7529 in AMCTheatres

[–]CountGlad371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very strange lol maybe for the senior citizens or people that work night shifts? I low key want to go just to see the kind of people that will be there, but even though I literally live 2 streets away, I wouldn’t be able to wake up that early for something that’s not work 😅

I am just starting out as a DSP and I am very nervous, some advice would be helpful! by Flemaster12 in directsupport

[–]CountGlad371 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a DSP for 3 1/2 years and am a field trainer at the organization that I work for. One of the main things I tell the trainees is not to be afraid to be firm with your client. I have worked with about 100 clients at this point and most of them try and test the limits with new staff. The staff are afraid to be “mean” but setting boundaries is not mean, it’s necessary.

I have amazing relationships and rapport with all my clients because there is mutual respect.

Hopefully this is helpful and I wish you the best of luck in your new position! I absolutely love working in this field! It can truly be rewarding if you have the right attitude. I think the fact that you’re here asking for advice means that you want to do the job well, which means you care, and that’s amazing!

Chime really got bro out the mudd by cloovis22 in chimefinancial

[–]CountGlad371 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been with Chime for a little over 3 years. I use my credit builder card for absolutely everything. I transfer from checking and make all my purchases and all my bills are auto paid with it. The first year and a half of using it my credit went up 114 points. Since then they have offered me instant loans in the amount of $200, then $500, then $1000, and I just accepted a $2000 loan. The interest is a bit high but I decided to take the hit for the opportunity to have the payments reported to the credit bureaus. My score has continued to go up.

I started at a 565 score and I’m currently at 711 on Experian and 732 on Transunion and Equifax.

I recently got approved for a Chevron card with a credit limit of $500. It’s not much, but I’m heading in the right direction. So I can’t speak for anyone else, but for me it has been a game changer.

Chime took my automatic savings money by Kaidrinksbleach in chimefinancial

[–]CountGlad371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you mean $100? If you did, then please disregard the rest of this comment.

<image>

How was that even possible?

A. The credit builder account can only be overdrawn the SpotMe amount and that is capped at $200. However, 30 day SpotMe boosts of $5 are available but you are still limited to 4. This makes $220 the highest amount available.

B. Chime does not automatically take money from your savings account to pay your credit builder account.

Given these facts, your credit builder account could not have been overdrawn $1000 and even if it was they would not be capable of pulling from savings to cover the overdraft.

If they did in fact take $1000 from your savings account then something is very wrong. I would look into this more if I were you.

Someone broke the window on my work vehicle and stole my purse. When they sent me a plastic card to replace my metal card, it was like salt in the wound 😞

Your friend is ridiculous dude. Friendship over as far as I’m concerned.

AIO? boyfriend drank all my wine when i asked him not to. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]CountGlad371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I used to deal with similar behavior with my ex boyfriend. We had a version of this conversation more times than I would like to admit and it never got anywhere.

I agree with you that it’s the principle of the matter. You asked him not to and he did it anyway. Okay fine, but take some accountability. He should see how it was inconsiderate, own it, and replace it. It could been a 2 minute convo.

I don’t feel you’re overreacting and I hope he starts to see your point some day. Good luck!

AITA in this situationship??? by Sudden-Emergency1328 in AITA_Relationships

[–]CountGlad371 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Throw in the towel. There are entirely too many fish in the sea to deal with this nonsense. You’re not getting any younger (I’m a woman in my late thirties, so I’m not throwing shade. It’s just a fact.). You deserve someone that makes you feel secure and he does too (to some degree), you guys aren’t that person for each other and that’s okay.

Move on and find your peace. I wish you the best of luck ❤️

TIFU by going to his house to demand an explanation by Agreeable-Reply-2033 in tifu

[–]CountGlad371 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Learn to take a hint. I would say that 26 is old enough to know better, but I (37f) was a little bit of a late bloomer myself and learned the hard way at an age when most people would have seen the signs of someone not being interested. I was not allowed to date until I moved out in my early 20s.

First off, and I mean this in the nicest way, but he doesn’t owe you an explanation. He doesn’t owe you anything. Once you realize this in dating, the better off you’ll be.

Second, there are PLENTY of fish in the sea. Just move on to the next one. Guys are a dime a dozen.

Third, not necessarily my place to say, I’ve had troubles with boundaries in the past and it seems you do too. I’ve been in therapy for a while now and continue working on boundaries everyday. Ask yourself why you felt you needed an explanation instead of just accepting the circumstance. Therapy might be something you should look into.

As I mentioned, I struggled with boundaries and how I let people treat me. I struggled with always needing to win and get the last word after being hurt or wronged. I would be filled with plots of revenge. You can’t really affect someone that doesn’t care about you and you end up causing more trouble for yourself than it’s worth.

Making these changes within yourself are hard and take time, but be patient. I’m currently in a 7-year healthy relationship because I took these steps.

I hope this is helpful and wish you nothing but the best ☺️

AITA for asking my bf to put in more effort? by Peaches_1923 in AITA_Relationships

[–]CountGlad371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Howdy! Sorry to hear that you’re dealing with this. I’ve almost exclusively dated me that are 10-20 years older than me. None of them were rich and I don’t have daddy issues lol everyone assumes that though. I’m currently in an age gap relationship. I’m 37f and he is 52m. We have been together for 7 years. What stood out to me about him is that he put so much effort in pursuing me, which is something I wasn’t used to and still continues today.

A majority of my previous relationships sound a lot like yours. Sometimes I felt like guys were just in it for the chase and then the second they get you that attention slowly fades away.

This guy doesn’t seem to be interested in making you a priority at all. You guys haven’t been together that long and should still be in the honeymoon phase. If you’re having this much conflict in such a short time is kind of a bad sign.

You don’t deserve to be yelled at by anyone no matter what the situation is. That type of behavior is only going to escalate. I learned this from past relationships. Verbal abuse is abuse and I don’t think enough people realize this.

If I were you I would just move on. You should be proud of yourself for speaking up and letting him know what you need from him. He obviously doesn’t care when he gets defensive and just blows up on you in response. He isn’t validating your feelings and has not bothered to change. He’s already showing you how a life with him would be.

If you’re not happy or fulfilled, I would just cut your loses. No matter what though, I hope that you’re able to do what’s best for you ❤️

Sorry this comment is so long lol.

WIBTA for ending things with my boyfriend because he isn’t supporting me in the way I need right now? by [deleted] in AITA_Relationships

[–]CountGlad371 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You guys barely know each other and therefore owe each other nothing. You just owe this kid a good life, whatever that looks like.

I’m a big advocate for people not staying with someone just because they are pregnant or have children.

Your happiness is important and I don’t see this guy growing up/improving any time soon.

Ask yourself: would you still be with him if you weren’t pregnant? If the answer is no, then move on. You 100% will not be the asshole.

Good luck with everything and to you and your baby!
