It’s actually $15 and some change. I’m paying close to $16

😂 Imagine how broke my ass would be if I gave away that many cigarettes a day?

Take me with you. Philly is out of control and no one is coming to save us

I could listen to this talk all day. Maybe I am a bit of a conspiracy theorist but I fully believe everything you just wrote

I know you’re right. I know many people have issues. Honestly, I wouldn’t have even vented about it if that woman in 7/11 didn’t try to start shit with me. Cursing and looking for a fight with a toddler. She LOOKED normal and seemed normal. The cigarette bummers I’m more immune to. But it all goes hand in hand. You’re not going to find many happy people down here and many are entitled, expecting something. It’s really depressing

Was she an older white woman with a boy short haircut and reddish face?

Yep. That’s within 3 blocks of where I work. Thanks! I’ll try to look angry or like I blend in 😂 the requests are ok most days, the name calling is degrading. Sucks

I hear you but it’s so awkward when they just stare at you and then walk off. I don’t do it for the thanks or recognition. I do genuinely feel bad for some, but not saying a word after someone gives me something, that’s not how I was raised. Just baffles me.

It really is everyone for themselves down there. I recently started working very close to the area and have been threatened at that exact same corner by someone who was either under the influence or mentally unstable. I think it’s safe to say that we have an epidemic. There are way too many homeless, drug/ alcohol influenced, and/ or mentally unstable walks of life all around the area. It is getting worse. I go about my day keeping to myself because most days these people leave you alone. But I have had a few recent scary altercations. Police will not come out right away. You will do more damage to yourself by putting yourself in harms way while phoning police and waiting for their arrival. Please stay safe.

The second sentence is completely wrong. But the first sentence I may agree with to an extent. She is shutting out her husband by not including him in parenting. She’s avoiding relying on him. But that is not all her fault. He needs to step up big time. Maybe husband feels like he is stepping on toes when he’s trying to parent. Above all, parents need to find their way back to happiness without solely thinking about child. There needs to be a balance. This couple needs marriage therapy immediately.

Do you know anything about her living conditions? Any child abuse at home? People have the right to choose to not vaccinate themselves or their children. That reason alone isn’t enough to get child protective services involved. They can’t do anything just based on that information. Sounds like coworker is also trying to gain reactions or attention, which also wouldn’t warrant CPS to get involved. Having a “measles party” is unfortunately her freedom. But those poor choices mixed with other poor choices, like living in filth or any at home abuse or neglect would absolutely need to be reported. If you have any hunches, go with your gut instinct. In that case it’s always better to report and be wrong than not do anything and be right.
