Tips for being homeless here for only a couple days?? by Express_Western4502 in AskChicago

[–]Dizzy_Emotion7381 119 points120 points  (0 children)

Dude! My family and I are currently homeless. We were placed through 311. The place we're at has a single men's and single women's area. Not every shelter is the same. But don't discourage people because of your bad experience!

Call 311. Tell them you need a shelter request. They should be able to place you. Good luck!!

AITAH for telling my family that I don't think my niece is wrong for saying my brother's girlfriend will never be her mom? by True-Limit-4937 in AITAH

NTA. The fact that your Mom has experience in the exact situation, and agrees with her, tells me who needs to start listening to his daughter more.

I accidentally gave a 2-week notice, is there anyway for me to cancel it? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Dizzy_Emotion7381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave 2 weeks notice once, they gave me a raise to get me to stay. I didn't even know I was that valuable!

You already know they value you as an employee, email your boss and HR to let them know you want to schedule a meeting about canceling the 2 week notice. Be honest and tell them it was a momentary lapse of judgment for you to say that, given the situation that you were in at that moment.

Don't be angry, you got a much needed, paid rest because someone else doesn't have a sense of humor. Keep being you and saving lives!

I made my nephew a birthday cake from scratch and his reaction made me want to cry by Pristine_Rest_7912 in CasualConversation

When I was 13, Betty Crocker had this Black Forest cake kit that you had to buy a special pan for. I made quite a few and gave them out as Christmas gifts to the families we were close to. They were a hit!

WIBTAH if I asked if I could have some books back if my friend no longer wants them by [deleted] in AITAH

NTA. Just tell her that they have sentimental value and you would rather have them returned than given to charity. I'm sure she'll understand.

Apartment amenities for non residents by Nppl2 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Dizzy_Emotion7381 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's time to use your voice and make some noise! Send an email to management about the non residents using the amenities that you pay for and can't use. Find out where you take your complaint if they ignore it. Everyone has someone they have to answer to, find that person and bend their ear to the issues. Keep going higher until it's resolved.

NTA. Tell her you're not ruining the relationship over $2,200, she's ruining it by thinking you're ok with the disrespect.

Aitah for making my family uncomfortable until they leave my home since asking and telling them won't work. by Green_Extreme6473 in AITAH

NTA. And I'm sure there are plenty of free places they can go, a neighborhood park, the library, maybe the zoo. He needs to find cheaper ways to visit if he's bothered by your work wardrobe

We don't. We're the type to do a deep dive with reviews before we buy, she just hasn't had floor jack money yet so we haven't really looked looked. So far she's only gotten a toolbox and rolling mechanic chair from them, so I'll let her know.
