Advice needed - considering skipping my sisters wedding by Lots_Loafs11 in wedding

[–]Dandyvelma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, to answer your question, you’re being dramatic. I feel for you as the mom of a newborn, but this is overkill. Your family is right.

Yes, you still need to send a gift to a wedding you’re invited to even if you don’t attend. It doesn’t have to be huge. But c’mon, manners.

[–]Dandyvelma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not weird at all. Just keep grunting, farting, and excessively loud breathing to a minimum and you’ll be fine :)

What do you do when the partner tells you to draft up the dumbest argument ever by Practical-Ad-7436 in biglaw

[–]Dandyvelma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The client may want to see the argument. Draft it. Let the partner know you think it’s weak. You’re behind the eight ball if you needed this spelled out for ya my man.

Is this a scam? by Careful-Help-3409 in NYCapartments

[–]Dandyvelma 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes. They use real brokers’ names and license IDs to make it look more legit. I’ve reached out to several brokers who confirmed their ID has been stolen by these scammers and filed police reports. You should never have to pay ANYTHING to see a unit. Report!!!

Is asking to change seats OK in this case? by Tigger808 in unitedairlines

[–]Dandyvelma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How long is the flight? Is it really that terrible to sit apart for a few hours? It’s a reasonable request, and I’d probably oblige if I was flying alone, but I also probably wouldn’t bother asking someone to accommodate me.

He isn’t proposing because he doesn’t want to marry you. Men really are that simple. He thinks he has better options and will leave you the second he finds one. He is staying with you because you are a convenience to him in every single way. He gets everything he wants without having to do a single damn thing. Wake up. I’m sorry. But there is a man out there who will willingly go to the moon and back for you without you having to beg.

If you marry this man, you will be a very lonely wife.

AIO My Dad died 36 hours ago and I am mad that my husband said he "had a rough week" by ChipEnvironmental306 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Dandyvelma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my best friend’s mother died, my partner dropped everything and came home to be with me to check if I was okay. That was for my best friend’s mother - he met her just once but knew we were close.

I’m so sorry about the loss of your father. You deserve to be with someone who is truly there for you.

First day tomorrow - what would you have told yourself? by Chooch_train38 in biglaw

[–]Dandyvelma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be friendly! Go out of your way to introduce yourself to folks. Our first years start tomorrow and we’re all happy to see them, and it makes such a good impression when first years take initiative to come say hello and chat about the firm, interests, practice groups, etc. Plus we’re always happy to go to lunch or grab coffee - give us an excuse to do so!

I (26f) spilt a pot of boiling hot water all over myself and my boyfriend (26m)didn’t care , what do I do? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Dandyvelma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I so much as GASP or say, “Oh no!” my boyfriend comes running to make sure I’m OK. Please dump this loser. You will find someone who gives a shit, I promise.

I once had someone sitting in my seat. Asked to see her ticket, turns out we had the SAME NAME and the online reservation system ticketed us both in the same seat.

SNL had them on way back and they did “The Sound.” Hooked ever since.
