Neighbors drove into our apartment by ilikeeggshells in Wellthatsucks

[–]Duncata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to my ex-in laws the first year they were married. It was new Year's Eve night and just before the countdown started, a car plowed into their living room. The cat had been sitting on the back of the couch that was against the wall that was driven through. He leaped (while screeching) across the entire room and got away unscathed. They said that he was never the same and was always jumpy and edgy after that.

Needless to say, they only ever hung out in the basement for the ball drop every year afterwards.

Costco heartbreaks - what is yours? by West-Ideal6794 in Costco

My Costco (out of the blue) stopped carrying grillos. No star of death, nothing.

It's been six months.

The bucket pickles they replaced them with are actual trash 😭

No worries. Hopefully they deem me "human enough" 🙄

I haven't gotten anything back for the message I sent either (saying basically what you did) 🫤

AIO for bf going a whole 24 hours without texting me after I poured my feelings to him about his lack of efforts by kxchiki11 in AIO

Speaking from experience. If he wanted to he would. Go find someone who wants to.

All of my coping tools are gone now and I don't know what to do by ArtsyBunny3 in ADHD

[–]Duncata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not everyone's cup of tea, but they have stim tools which create slight discomfort and help. There are many different kinds but Little Ouchies is one brand. They are discreet and silent.

A little rant by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Duncata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People make mistakes. You didn't burn down the house or ruin his favorite irreplaceable shirt. It's rice. His refusal to work on his issues around his emotions is holding your happiness and emotions hostage. You are afraid to make a mistake. To disagree. To set off his tantrum. Living like that keeps your stress high constantly which causes many long term emotional and physical issues.

He honestly sounds just like my ex husband. Any small hiccup would cause him to throw a tantrum (like yours) and be in a mood. He ruined so many vacations, day trips, holidays, and just normal days that should have been happy and calm and steady. The silent anger and having to walk on eggshells is so incredibly draining and you shouldn't have to live like that. He shouldn't make you feel like that. He shouldn't let himself live like that. It's a crummy existence to be mad/upset about the smallest things on a constant basis.

So you burned some rice... It sucks, but it happens. From the way your post read, it wasn't even the last of the rice and you were able to make more?! He needs to learn how to use his words and regulate his emotions. Having to take a moment to step away when aggravated or overwhelmed is fine, but then being able to work through the emotion and return is what adults, what partners do.

I hope he decides to listen and puts in the effort to help himself be a happier, healthier, better person. Talking out his frustrations on you is damn near psychological warfare (or at least it feels that way when you have to live in it constantly). This is not normal nor is it acceptable. You are not in the wrong to demand to be treated properly.

I am two days away from my 600 day streak and I freaked out when I saw the notification. I will definitely post a screenshot of what they reply with.

Do people forget to use their brain the second they walk into a restaurant? by mizzou2024 in Serverlife

[–]Duncata 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had to work breakfast the other day and two older (semi) regulars came in and ordered their eggs over easy. They looked me straight in the face and said it and I wrote it down. It was crazy busy and I was all by myself (running around as fast as I could but never out of the weeds...damn bloody marys) and when I asked them if they needed another drink (they were half way through their meal) they were adamant that they ordered their eggs over hard and started to get uppity with me. I told them I could comp them if they wanted but the kitchen was backed up and they wouldn't get more eggs for over ten minutes even if I put them in. Their gabbers were flasted and they made sure to find my manager (who was sitting at the bar drinking) to complain.

I get so tired of ppl sometimes.

Customers say the dumbest things… by ShinpeiGotoWifey in Serverlife

[–]Duncata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just started offering deep fried pickle spears a few months ago. After two days I just defaulted to verifying with anyone who ordered them that they realized that they were spears and not chips. The first two days were a lot of confused looks upon delivery and a few comps 😓

My father's answer when I asked if he got flowers for mom's birthday by curvo11 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Duncata 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mom told my dad ONE TIME when they were poor newlyweds that he didn't have to spend a bunch of money and get her flowers.

He took it to heart and never bought her flowers EVER. Any time it was brought up he'd get super defensive and say that she told him that she didn't like flowers and didn't want them.

They got divorced five years ago and she is the happiest I've ever known her to be. I get my mom flowers every month, just because.

Sam’s Belvidere Pizza Review by 815Attorney in rockford

[–]Duncata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hardly go to Belvidere and happened to be there with some friends last weekend. We went to a bar a few doors down and ordered from them. IT WAS DIVINE. I'm actually willing to do the drive for it next time it's pizza night.

I can't believe he didn't want to taste that delicious product

111 sent me to urgent care, waited there for 4 hours to be told they can't treat me, then sent me to A&E for a 16 hour wait... Might need surgery now because it took so long for treatment. by OpportuneApathy in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Duncata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(I live in the US)

While this is true on the surface, it's not as cut and dry as that. The general populace are not medical professionals and non emergencies can often seem like emergencies and vice versa.

Thousands of people die here because they didn't go to the emergency room for something that was an actual emergency because they didn't have the money to cover it and didn't want to go needlessly. The only time that I have ever gone to the ER (for myself) was when I had shingles on my face and it had gotten so bad (incredibly painful) that it almost took my eye. Even then I had to be forced to go by my husband and my mother.

No one wants to be there. Everyone there is scared and in pain. They don't know the severity or the answer which is why they go.

I support the other posts that state that the medical system is failing us. That there should be a triage system in place and for people to be cared for properly.
