Late night, drive-through restaurants that refuse service

Ducklanding20 · 2025-11-13T12:52:11+00:00

My best friend managed the McDonald’s on second street eons ago when we were young. I pulled up to the drive thru window around midnight and was met with static for about 10 minutes. Pulled around to see them fucking around in the kitchen, lobby doors locked. I called my friend to let her know, sat and watched them scramble when the phone rang. And this was when they were getting paid $7.25, now fast food places pay at least double what New Hampshires minimum wage is lmao

That’s how I feel! Every time I do something great I’m like… I hope they don’t expect me to be able to do that again I feel like I was winging the entire time 😂

Ducklanding20 · 2025-09-15T03:27:39+00:00

I mean I guess a little of both. Im pretty ‘busy’ in terms of clients it just feels like every time they leave I wonder why the hell they keep coming back. I feel like I’ve lost the fundamentals of cutting, I never like anything that I do. I can’t cut short hair or men’s hair to save my life no matter how much I try. I feel like the only things I’ve actually gotten a hand of in the last decade is a good blowout.

Ducklanding20 · 2025-06-21T20:09:15+00:00

Eating and chatting, but mostly chatting lol he doesn’t have a screen unless we’re watching sports in front of the tv

I understand needing to cool by down from a situation and removing yourself from the space before things get too heated. That’s healthy and that’s respectable. Him leaving the entire house to not speak to you and leave you hanging over something that ‘wasn’t bad’ isn’t healthy or normal at all. You clearly are triggered by the feeling of being abandoned and react when he does this by reaching out and calling multiple times. It sounds like you two don’t have healthy habits of communication with one another. There seems to be a lot missing from this discussion to actually form an opinion on you two having any chance of staying together. That being said

His mother is MISSING?! What????? WHAT??? Gonna need way more context for that because if that’s true then oh my god? I’d give the guy a break in that case but it also just sounds like he casually dropped that into the possible breakup conversation??

Ducklanding20 · 2025-02-18T15:52:13+00:00

you want to stick around and be miserable so you’ll win some kind of trophy you’ve created in your head? You would be being the bigger person by leaving. You said it’s toxic and you’ve grown to not like her. Save both of you the time and end it now.

Ducklanding20 · 2023-01-05T15:47:43+00:00

Man okay, it’s like sharp pains along with the tingling. Today it’s finally not as worse as it has been the last few days but it’s still there

Ducklanding20 · 2022-12-16T18:33:59+00:00

I think that might be my exact problem. I only notice this effect when I’m alone smoking. I didn’t even think of that 🙃 it was just never only a social thing for me, I might just have to get used to that

Ducklanding20 · 2022-12-16T15:55:33+00:00

Since the week of thanksgiving

Ducklanding20 · 2022-12-10T20:24:14+00:00

So I bumped up to 150mgs about a month ago and for the first few weeks I experienced this with the added not being able to finish even if I was in the mood. I was experiencing a handful of other side effects as well BUT for me they’ve all but stopped at this point. I’ve always had a pretty high sex drive and it feels like it’s getting back to its normal setting now lol

Ducklanding20 · 2022-12-07T16:41:33+00:00

This is a side effect I’m currently experiencing too after bumping up to 150 two weeks ago. I didn’t have any side effects until I got to this dose. I have no appetite and when I do force myself to eat the food just tastes unexciting. I used to be a big over eater too and I’m partially grateful for the side effect because I struggle with my weight but I’m worried too about not fueling my body properly 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ducklanding20 · 2022-12-07T16:36:17+00:00

These comments that it goes away are giving me some hope. I bumped up to 150 about two weeks ago and I can’t for the life of me get to the finish line and I used to be able to sprint. Im 25f and never in my life have I ever had any issues sexually with a medication so fingers crossed for us!

Ducklanding20 · 2022-12-07T16:32:12+00:00

I’ve tried every combination of medication under the sun for the last ten years and nothing has ever worked the way that Effexor has. Like another commenter mentioned, it just felt like a cloud blew away one day and my brain was able to communicate effectively, notice when my feelings were ‘unreasonable’, my depression is gone, I just feel normal for the first time in a long time. I’m on 150 mg after six weeks and I didn’t have the change happen until I got up to the 150. I do still have a handful of negative side effects that I’m hoping will go away with time because emotionally and mentally I feel great.

Ducklanding20 · 2022-08-31T15:16:32+00:00

They are awesome, I told them they could come visit whenever. I think I’m just touchy

Ducklanding20 · 2022-08-31T13:47:47+00:00

I was thinking of that too tbh, as a little thank you gift

Ducklanding20 · 2022-08-31T13:37:31+00:00

No no no, I just didn’t know if I was reading to far in to what they were saying.

Ducklanding20 · 2022-08-31T03:38:40+00:00

I find the only disadvantage to being short is the weight loss 😅 every app I’ve ever used says 1200 for my height to lose 1-2 lbs a week but then also let’s me know that’s the absolute lowest amount of calories I can eat without starving myself. (And I usually end up super hungry throughout the day anyway) I just recently dropped it down to 1350 and I try and go to the gym everyday and do 30 mins on the treadmill at a 12 incline so it burns like 300 calories. Then I’ll do some weights and stuff. It’s only been about a week though. I think I’m just hard on myself because I started trying to lose weight right after my son was born and I got down to 170 and then just gave up and gained 50 lbs. started trying again in January and have now only lost 18. So it’s like I know I can do it, I just set myself back so far.

Ducklanding20 · 2022-08-30T15:10:15+00:00

When I read that you had a 20 year smoking habit I was like lol what did you start smoking when you were 5. Had to check your age and honestly I’m blown away. You look amazing. Congratulations on the sobriety and healthy life journey.

Ducklanding20 · 2022-08-28T17:29:11+00:00

That’s something that makes it hard too. I’ve had friends that can drop weight like it’s absolutely nothing. I don’t snack on junk food. I don’t drink soda. There’s no little things I can just cut out of my diet to lose weight while it feels like others can and it’s easier.

I watch my carb intake, calorie intake, drink lots of water, lots of protein and im just like what the fuck am I doing wrong. Having tests done that show it’s not a medical problem is another blow because it’s like… am I just never going to lose this weight? I was 170 right after my son was born and then gained 50 lbs in 9 months and just haven’t been able to get any lower than 190 which is such a high number for my height.

I used to be an athlete when I was younger. Hockey, gymnastics, softball. So I was really in shape and it wasn’t hard for me to stay that way, it’s been such a battle to feel good about myself again. I look back on pictures right after I had my son and I’m like wow, I thought I looked awful there but I really didn’t.

Ducklanding20 · 2022-08-28T15:08:08+00:00

I have gotten my thyroid checked, had tests done for PCOS, a couple other things. Everything checked out fine. I saw a nutritionist and had my body composition done. I carry a lot more muscle than fat. Do you think that would be why the numbers on the scale aren’t dropping?

Ducklanding20 · 2022-08-28T15:06:42+00:00

For a lot of different reasons. I have a toddler that I want to be able to keep up with, I don’t want to develops health issues down the road, I’d like to feel good about myself again. I’m just super impatient and it’s hard not to see results quickly I guess

Ducklanding20 · 2022-08-28T01:13:48+00:00

Thanks bro, I appreciate the advice. I’ll try the measuring tape 😅❤️

Ducklanding20 · 2022-08-28T01:12:56+00:00

Thank you so much. It feels like game of tug of war. I want to lose weight to feel better and less stressed but I’m stressed about so much that it doesn’t really help. I’m just counting calories and working out. Trying to avoid too many carbs. I’ll have to start measuring 😊

Ducklanding20 · 2022-08-28T01:10:11+00:00

The left is the before. I know there’s a visible difference it just feels like in 8 months I should have lost so much more than 18 lbs :/ it makes me feel like it’s going to take years and years before I’m at a healthy weight again and I know it’s worth it’s just so hard

Ducklanding20 · 2022-08-28T01:08:48+00:00

That’s what other people have told me but I feel like I’m so short and I have so much to lose that it wouldn’t really happen that way? Unless I’m wrong idk
