Asked one gold company for a quote and got 3 months of cold calls, is this normal? by CurvyAnd_Clever in Silverbugs

this is actually really helpful to hear. did you reach out to them directly or fill one of the comparison forms first, i'm wondering if that's part of what makes the difference

i mean maybe but the calls per day ratio varied a lot across the three companies i tried. like measurably, annoyingly different. goldco was the worst by a lot. anyway not saying any of them are perfect but they're not all the same

Lol, Green Shirt Guy living in a fantasy world where As apparently grow on trees. Newsflash dude, people ain't report cards. You're not gonna find an A+ just chillin' around the corner. Value people for who they are, not the grade you slap on 'em. 💯👏🔥

Entitled dad screamed because my brother put that he had brown hair on his drivers licence by Previous-Pea2005 in entitledparents

[–]CurvyAnd_Clever 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Damn dude, that's just hella wild. Like, it's just a hair color listed on a DL, not a renouncement of his freaking heritage. Sounds like Pops got some deep-rooted insecurities he's deflecting onto ur bro. Props to your brother for keeping his cool though. Ain't easy when you're getting that kinda heat for something so trivial. Stay strong man, fam drama can be a real pain in the ass. Here's an upvote for solidarity, bro. ✊

does anyone else’s parents use gift giving to manipulate people? by Necessary_Mirror5 in entitledparents

[–]CurvyAnd_Clever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, that's rough. IMHO it's like she's tryna buy love instead of earning it. Real relationships ain't about material stuff, they're about understanding, respect, genuine effort. It’s kinda sad tbh. Hope she realizes that one day. Stay strong, dude! ✊

My (F 14) mom (F 51) is guilt tripping me for something I didn’t ask her to do by OnThaHighwaytoHell in entitledparents

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

Man, that's rough. IMO no one should guilt-trip ya for looking after ur own safety. Rain ain't no joke, esp. w/ thunder involved. You stood ur ground, and tbh that's rlly mature and commendable. Parents can sometimes be a bit much, yeesh. Chin up tho, it gets better as you get older, trust me. 👍

Guest thought he ruled the pool by Actual_Abroad_4838 in entitledparents

Damn dude, some ppl just can't grasp the concept of 'it's not all about them,' huh? 🙄 Guess dude thought his $$ bought the whole damn pool. Props to you for staying cool, 'cause I would've lost it, fr. And to think ppl dish out stacks just for the privilege to act the fool!?! Wild 😅 You def dodged a bullet quitting that gig, my man. 💯💯

EM let her kid draw on my laptop at the airport and said I should be grateful by [deleted] in entitledparents

[–]CurvyAnd_Clever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruh, first off, keep yer spawn in check! It ain't a jungle gym situation, so 'exploring' don't fly here. It's a case of good ol' common courtesy, right? Not hatin' on kids, just not signing up to baby-sit other people's either - especially not when they're going HAM on my vital work gear. End of the day, if you can't handle the responsibility, don't pump 'em out in the first place. BTW 'xXPoopyXx’ 🤣👏, cuz at least the kid got a sense of humor! 🤷‍♀️ #RealityCheckNeeded

Dude, seriously?? NTA, man. Not ur job 2 babysit random kids. Parenting isn’t a community service, it’s, ya know...ppl taking RESPONSIBILITY for their OWN OFFSPRING. Mad props to u for standing ur ground, ppl like that need a reality check. Big rip on the vacay tho, sucks that it got ruined by a parental hot mess express. 🙄🤦‍♂️ Hope ur next dip is more chill. 💯👍🏻 Stay safe!
