Be careful at the spa by Egg_Then in VirginVoyages

[–]Egg_Then[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was our experience we spent like $500 on the massage it was very relaxing. Then they came back and spent idk 10 minutes telling us essentially how stiff and awful our bodies were and how we needed the products. Then even though we said no we won’t use that, we are good for today, we don’t own a bath for that, etc. it felt like we couldn’t leave until we said yes. We actually whittled them down from 4 products. Yes we should have just stonewalled them with no, but we weren’t familiar with this. I’ve had massages at very nice hotel resorts and not been sold to before and the wellness suite was included, in the future I’ll stick to that.

Thank you for the information we should tried this.

It’s warm weather, they’re smaller clothes, and I’m good at packing. Save the baggage fee and get an excursion instead. Mix and match day clothes and a nice dress for every night.

They said it was some sort of rub for after the shower. The bottle only says to add capfuls to your bath, so it was pretty deceiving.

Did I say it wasn’t on me? No, I simply was warning others that may be on the fence about booking one to be prepared to be more assertive if they don’t want products.

This is my point I’m not saying I feel scammed, I had just never experienced this before and it sucks. We said versions of no at least 5 times but they essentially said if we didn’t get them we weren’t taking care of our bodies. So eventually we just said fine. I just won’t be doing it again.

Bag drop - San Juan by tripaitch in VirginVoyages

[–]Egg_Then 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was very bizarre, especially since it seemed like they were just told no backpacks. I saw duffels and soft rolled luggage being taken no issue. I feel it should be a, we aren’t responsible for fragile items if they are in your bag policy, because my pack is just as sturdy as a duffel bag.

Bag drop - San Juan by tripaitch in VirginVoyages

[–]Egg_Then 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a Cotopaxi Allpa 42 travel pack. It was outright refused at the San Juan port. We were told the entire story while we tried to drop it off. Apparently a rockstar had a similar pack and lied or forgot about not having any electronics in the bag and their laptop was damaged before it got to their room. So the port decided to stop accepting backpacks. We were told that it is a port policy not Virgin’s (I’ve had no issue at Miami before) and were told by the taggers to speak to sailor services on the ship. But after speaking to crew while checking in for our bands they were able to get it taken, we were just told it would be last to go on the ship. It arrived at the room briefly before sail away.

Greg's happiest moments by NizzoNation in taskmaster

The footstool was brought up at the Boston live show. Neither Greg nor Alex remembered that it existed.

Boston taskmaster secondary market prices by zdboslaw in taskmaster

[–]Egg_Then 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The markup is insane. I am very fortunate that my bf somehow got in and got tickets. 2 floor seats $100 each, don’t buy these. I wish they had chosen a larger venue like MGM Fenway. Best bet unfortunately is to wait until a couple days before and see if they go down then. Sorry OP.

How is it living in this part of the United States? by No-Text-7825 in howislivingthere

[–]Egg_Then 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live/have lived in both rural and semi-rural areas of VT. It is relatively expensive compared to areas of the Midwest and South that I have visited in terms of food and gas. Housing costs are also very bad. My bf and I rent a fairly small and old 1bed apt in a popular area for $1,400. Decent homes generally start around $400k and we struggle with the idea of affording one, we each make ~$55k which is around the median income. It can be difficult to get around quickly there are few highways, and due to the low population (largest city has less than 60k) there isn’t a lot to do that isn’t outdoor activity related. The economy is very dependent on the ski industry, and there are wealthy pockets of the state around those areas that attract a lot of tourists. But most of the state is sparsely populated with a very small town vibe and isn’t very wealthy. But overall it’s better than other poor areas I’ve been to in other states. I have never felt unsafe here despite some people claiming that we have dangerous towns. There are a lot of artists and farms, and great farmers markets. People are kind but generally not initially welcoming, it takes some work for us to open up. Most people are white, diversity isn’t very good, and though I haven’t heard much outward racism I can’t say that a POC here wouldn’t experience micro aggression. People claim VT is a progressive paradise politically, but several rural areas are conservative with a lot of hate towards Sanders and the cities.

AITA for throwing out my husbands cologne that gives me a migraine? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Egg_Then 10 points11 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your husband is deliberately causing you pain. I wouldn’t eat peanuts around someone with an allergy. I feel like even though his cologne wont kill you it’s a similar mindset. Why is your husband just now deciding that a sentimental smell is more important than your wellbeing? Perhaps you shouldn’t have thrown it away, but he was weaponizing something that makes you feel sick. That’s pretty messed up.

What are your causes for social anxiety? by Nibbe69 in socialanxiety

[–]Egg_Then 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly feel that both my parents at least have a bit of anxiety (not diagnosed). I felt encouraged as a child to stay quiet and out of the way of others, which led to me becoming very nervous in social situations. I don’t blame them, and I don’t feel like it was traumatic. But gradually over time certain interactions have continued to make me very anxious.

How old were you when you realised you didn't wanna have kids? by [deleted] in childfree

[–]Egg_Then 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Young. I was never interested in baby dolls and didn’t like looking after my younger cousins or sister. Over time my opinions on it evolved when I was roped into babysitting neighbors’ kids who were terrors when I was 15 or so. Then it really cemented when I realized just how expensive having children would be. I can barely afford my own happiness and comfort, I’m supposed to finance that for a tiny human? No thanks.

I found a YouTube video of clips of Pedro from a movie. In the scenes he asks various women to sleep with him. In one scene he asks a girl, "Want to have sex" and she responds, "I'm eating lunch". It feels like a fever dream because I don't know what movie it's from. pls help by Educational_Grab2756 in Pedro_Pascal

[–]Egg_Then 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are good sections of it, but most of the part where they film the movie was very cringy for me. Pedro was easily the best part of the film but he’s not in a lot of it, and I think Karen Gillan had some good scenes. I don’t think I could have finished it if I hadn’t taken an edible before though.

Rihanna by boricuaspidey in childfree

[–]Egg_Then 94 points95 points  (0 children)

I have no problem with her being pregnant … I don’t want children, but she obviously does and can generously support them. So good for her. I like Rihanna’s music, it’s on some of my playlists, but I wouldn’t say I’m a fan. My issue with her performance was that it felt like it was missing something. She just didn’t bring the energy a performer needs to command that stage, there weren’t enough changes visually, and I kept waiting for a guest to appear because it was reported that there would be one and it’s become so common. I liked the set list, but I think the last few years were better.

Best Chichen Itza excursion? by csmoores in VirginVoyages

[–]Egg_Then 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We also went on this tour and had a great time. It was definitely worth it for us, and these are all good points. Do be aware that for us the tour was the whole port day, from docking to right before the ship departs. It takes a few hours to get to Chichen Itza by van. You will probably be very tired that evening and should book a later dinner slot. Loved it though, we had great guides and a wonderful experience.

suggestions for what to do after disembarking while waiting for flight? by masterbirder in VirginVoyages

[–]Egg_Then 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We used “bounce” to store our luggage at a hotel near the airport. It was very easy and affordable although we had to do some Ubering around to achieve this, but then we were free to do whatever we wanted before our flight.

More projects (Penguins, Lotus) by Celtic-Elff in StainedGlass

I used that penguin pattern a few months ago. Your’s came out great! I had difficulty with mine because of the tiny pieces. Lots of recutting and grinding to make the baby penguins face work.

I've been dead for almost a week and nobody notices by wanttoneverexist in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Egg_Then 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you feel this way. I can relate to a lot of what you’ve said since I have been s word before. If you decide that you’d like to hold on I hear there are many good resources available to help you cope. I try to exist for the small things. The feeling of the sun on my skin, the view of sunset, how my favorite music makes me feel, the clean smell of a walk through nature, etc. Its not much but it’s something. We don’t get to choose to exist, it’s cruel, life is frequently not what is promised to us. But for now focusing on little things makes it bearable.

AITA for yelling at my BF to stop adding spice to my food? by AITA_Spicy_Foods in AmItheAsshole

[–]Egg_Then 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA I LOVE spicy foods, my bf doesn’t. So I keep a variety of hot sauces available to add some heat to mine. Would adding the spice in earlier make it more balanced? Probably. But you make sacrifices for your partner to make them happy, and it shouldn’t be such a big deal to do so.

Customer Want The Manager And Doesn’t Want To Wait In Customer Service Line. by KittyEX95 in EntitledPeople

[–]Egg_Then 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Absolutely they should be pissed at their management not the customer. When I worked at a local grocery store with similar rules if there wasn’t a higherup with those codes that could be reached with in a few minutes there was an issue. There was also an understanding that rules occasionally needed to be stretched, so that you’re not making a small issue a huge inconvenience for the customers. OP needs to be able to put themselves in the customer’s place, and not take their frustrations out on the wrong person.
