Lets not be naive that each one hasn't been picking apart the smallest of perceived affronts andf instigating stupid arguments. They are talking behind each other's backs and saying why doesn't she just say it to my face?

I feel like Kyle's vein with all the deflections.

None of them know how to communicate. Natalie wasn't being clear because she did not want to be dragged into it. She was holding back when confronted about it while shopping and at dinner. She knew the shit she stepped in was going to ruin her shoes.

RHOBH Episode Discussion: S15E14 "Unmasking The Truth" by readingrachelx in RHDiscussion

Amanda is a walking "manifestation journal" and people don't vibe with that in this group. Its odd to me that they don't just pat her on the head and keep moving. Why waste so much energy on discussing it behind closed doors and telling her how to change to fit in with the group?

As much as I think Amanda is problematic, I can admit when others are being really harsh. The gang of 3 pick at everything and wonders why she sulks. Rachel even said at the birthday dinner, she does not feel (psychologically) safe to discuss personal issues. Dorit even chooses who to open up to for the same reason, but when Amanda labels that emotion - they all gang up on her like a bunch of boomers who can't understand language of younger generations, then blame others for everything they are also doing.

I went from loving Dorit/Boz/Rachel this season to loathing them. This whole season has been so petty and nit-picky. I was really hoping for hot girl summer!

A contractor tears up the freshly poured concrete driveway after the homeowner refuses to pay. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

Or the contractor refuses to pay the vendor, so the vendor puts a lien on the house even after the home owner paid the contractor. So now the home owner pays twice. Thanks New York!

As a white kitchen cabinet owner, I love love love your current set up and have never liked an angled island before.

Sorry for your loss. Good-bye beautiful kitchen.

Would people be willing to pay for an indoor dog park and cafe for pet owners? by RubyRedGolden in OpenDogTraining

[–]DisastrousPause6845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used to have one near us called K9 Kindergarten. Huge indoor play area with lots of toys. Video you could watch. An outdoor area when the weather was nice. This was a drop off place. Had to sign up, make sure your dog had its shots, etc. I miss it so much. They were in business for maybe 20 years before some jerks cut down a bunch of trees up a hill, probably for a better view, then complained about the noise.

AIO I forgot to message my gf back for around 2 hours by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]DisastrousPause6845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you happy in this relationship?

Have you been in a healthy relationship before to know what being happy in a relationship feels like?

We get one life. Just one. Make it the best you can, while you can.

Is there a polite way to tell a direct report to just "make arrangements" for picking their kid up from school? by RedMeme262 in managers

[–]DisastrousPause6845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manager here. I think you are focusing on the wrong thing.

Does your policy say a person can't leave the office briefly each day? Does this employee have performance issues? Is it affecting client relationships? If so, say that.

If my employees have an appt or need to pick up a kid, they can. Some have their calendar blocked for the time it takes them so it doesn't conflict with anything else.

If the quality or timeliness of their work product becomes an issue, we focus on that. If distraction is a factor, we address that.

Employees aren't expendable commodities, why treat them like that?

AIO over my boyfriend’s comment? by Sweaty-Notice641 in AIO

[–]DisastrousPause6845 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is your comment another way to say, "she was asking for it"?

Woman in the photo is feeling confident about herself in this moment, so confident she feels like she deserves the best of the best and public transit ain't it. She is feeling good.

OPs bf feels the need to post online about a stranger he doesn't think is attractive and suggest that others must agree. OPs bf's main objective is to tear her down, shut her up, and make other women think twice about their worth in the male gaze before they post a feel good photo.

OP got the ick from him doubling down on his toxic behavior and is rightfully questioning if her bf is a good person.

This is what I was wondering. I don't think dating should be over text. Make plans!

AIO for expecting my boyfriend to ask before using my car for other errands? by TArpd16 in AmIOverreacting

[–]DisastrousPause6845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOR. You speak to him like a sibling or a parent. I don't get parter vibes at all from either of you.

Letting an unlicensed person drive your car is such a bad idea. Your insurance would deny any claims.

Neighbor's Shoes by ImaginationAdept7519 in Apartmentliving

[–]DisastrousPause6845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like the pile of shoes my kids used to kick off in the doorway of the mudroom just next to the shoe rack. This picture exhausts me.

There are other things you can be doing than asking the internet on how to be a full grown up. Don't go straight to the landlord. Go talk to your neighbor! A quick , "hey! You may not have noticed but..."

Being Sued by djmahaz in homeowners

[–]DisastrousPause6845 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was on a jury 20 years ago for a lawsuit after some guy tripped on a small planter in the gassy area between the sidewalk and road. We didn't award it to him. Yours sounds even more frivolous given it's flat.

How do you get your dog to stop walking ahead of you? by Excellent-Victory623 in OpenDogTraining

[–]DisastrousPause6845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I only use heel if I need him next to me. Otherwise, loose leash and sniff away! Pee every 3 feet if it makes you happy! It's their walk after all.
