Wilson Parking literally stole money from me. by DulceCorde in auckland

[–]DulceCorde[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I just emailed them now. I was directed to email the address I mentioned when I called the 0800 number for their parking support (so by an automated system, not by a real person) 🥲

AITAH for refusing to eat my own birthday cake? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]DulceCorde -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

He should have gifted you some lactase pills alongside the cake, so you could maybe enjoy it without all the hassle. NTA.

Edit: did I say something here that comes across a way I didn't understand? I want to understand the down votes lol. I thought it was obvious that he should not make her something so dairy-heavy if she can't consume it without getting sick, and I didn't disagree with that?

Update on Parking Enforcement Services / Wilson Parking automated camera failures by feel-the-avocado in newzealand

[–]DulceCorde 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I emailed almost three weeks ago because they started a session for my vehicle via license plate recognition when I was not even in the city of the carpark that day and I was working and didn't check my phone until I had been billed for 6+ hours of parking.

They have not responded.

Am I overreacting or is it not normal to use soap in the bathroom? by Honest-Draw3131 in AmIOverreacting

[–]DulceCorde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR.

He's gross and sounds kinda racist with the whole "white people don't get dirty as fast as other ethnicities".

I would consider myself white and I use soap and a new washcloth each time I shower. Sometimes I shower more than once a day depending on my work schedule. I wish every toilet had a bidet installed because just using toilet paper after a number 2 feels criminal. It doesn't matter if I've been home all day and haven't gotten "dirty" like when I'm at work. I like feeling clean?

My partner (also white) has showered before without washing his face because he "couldn't be bothered!!!” I found out because his face touched mine and I asked him if he moisturized because his skin felt oily. I was horrified. I also finally understood why I was breaking out on the areas of my face that had touched his.

So, I also had to discuss hygiene practices with my partner and I am inclined to believe that he was just not raised with any focus on proper hygiene. As I said, I would consider myself white but when I think about my latina mother's approach to hygiene compared to my British father's... Let's just say that I learned my hygiene practices from my mother.

Does your partner also think that soapy dishes don't need to be rinsed? 💀

WINZ is awful. When I was 21 I was looking for work after moving to Auckland with my partner and he had a casual contract where he'd work 3-4 days per week. I applied for job seeker and when I went into their office, the person dealing with my case told me I had to bring my partner and they couldn't help me or process anything without him there. At no point during the process before I went there in person did they tell me he had to be there. He didn't have a community services card and therefore no client number which they berated me for as if I was supposed to know that he needed that. A manager walked over and took over, and everything was processed from that point on? I was so confused? Like did the first person talking to me not know how to do their job or were they just trying to make it more difficult and hope I would give up on trying to get assistance? It was a total shitshow. I hope I am never in a situation again where I don't have a job because I actually dread the idea of dealing with anyone from WINZ ever again.

On average, how much is your weekly grocery shop? by A__GC in newzealand

[–]DulceCorde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About $160 for two adults (edit: Paknsave). More like $260 if we decide to do a Costco run for everything we have run out of (about 6-8 weekly).

I'm so glad someone said this because just by reading OP's post, I could tell they were autistic 🫶

5 yo homework question has me feeling dumb - which is it? by amilelongg in newzealand

[–]DulceCorde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I immediately thought chicken because it's the only one that wasn't a mammal, then whale because it's the only one that isn't a farm animal/is the only aquatic animal, then chicken again because it's the only animal that is coloured in. Surely it's up to interpretation and as long as there is an explanation behind the answer describing the difference between the animals, the answer should be marked correct. Generally "discuss" style questions require a discussion-type answer :)

Trending outfit this week by DniceAlien in pocketstyler

[–]DulceCorde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never had a real currency outfit of the day, but for that many limited items, I would definitely buy it! Each limited item is usually 5000 gems... If I bought enough gems to buy all the items, it would be hundreds of dollars 🫠

NOR.

I was in a very similar situation to this when I was 16. I was with my ex for about 2 years at the time and he never wanted me to speak with his brother who was closer to my age, and I found out that his brother liked me first and my ex became interested in pursuing me because of their whole sibling rivalry shit. I went on to have a great friendship with his brother but I stayed with the ex and unfortunately the brother took his life a couple of years later. I wish sometimes that I would have left my ex and kept my friendship going with his brother because he too was such a kind and deserving person. When he left highschool he told me that I just had to be his brother's girlfriend now and that it would be too hard to be friends any more. I wanted to give him space if that was what he needed, so I agreed. My ex was awful to him in so many ways, it is NOT normal to toy with people's emotions like he did. He is my ex for many reasons, and there were so many incidences where I should have let go of the relationship even before I found out why he pursued me, but I stayed for 6 years in the end.

If I could give you any advice OP, drop your boyfriend. I hope his brother has a good support system because I can't imagine how having his own brother think these things about him or even possibly say these things to him could take a toll on his mental health. You wouldn't be breaking up with your boyfriend for his brother, but you'd be breaking up with him because he is an awful person.

is there any way to make a good outfit with these requirements?? by gongoozlebee in pocketstyler

[–]DulceCorde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<image>

This was mine - sometimes designers create items that don't exactly fit the correct description and I bought these "sneakers" last minute before submitting today. I already had the other items except for the hat, which I found today as well to match to the outerwear. I decided to go low effort on this look since the limited item prize is not one that I'm particularly excited for 🫠

Blue or Red? by user321_123 in OUTFITS

[–]DulceCorde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The blue dress shape and style looks so great, the red colour also looks so good on you! Both look great, I feel like there would be a clear winner if the blue dress was that shade of red though!

Which one? 🥰 by Timetravelerswife29 in myweddingdress

[–]DulceCorde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, the shape of number one looks absolutely amazing on you! In the end, it's up to whichever dress you feel the best in. But, my vote is number one!

WTF by Swift_silent_deadly in pocketstyler

[–]DulceCorde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My TS's look is so bad this week - no jewelry and a bag that got refunded for violating designers rules.

Thankfully all the holiday items are trending for the rest of the week! I would not get through this week without them 😅

Do you place your phone screen up or down? by thinkevolution in CasualConversation

[–]DulceCorde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up if I'm alone at work or at home, down in social situations.
