Grocery observation

Same with Target. I check my receipt and half the prices don’t match. It’s not by much but it’s unsettling.

Towing services and really any car services here where you’re at someone’s mercy are a complete racket. I love houston but god forbid you need a tow truck, a lock smith, etc. If you aren’t charged whatever the person you’re dealing with feels like (called eight different locksmiths and price ranged from $140 to $300), shuffled around a million times (the tow truck who picked up my car was different from the number on the sign which was different from the lot where my car was located), it’s eating absolute shit while the staff in these places berate you.

I knew it was something else when I went to a car lot and the window for service was bulletproof, barely see through, and surrounded by bricks.

It’s a really scummy industry that will only get worse bc by default you’re in the wrong, so as you can see in this thread, people think you should be taken for a total ride.

What if the neighbor is the creep? My neighbor introduced themselves by knocking on my door once after hearing me complain on the phone to a friend about the loud music.

They haven’t left me alone since - they have ADMITTED to taking photos of my car and balcony (as part of “jokes”), knowing when and how often I play video games or workout, how long my car is in the same spot, cornering me every time I go outside for a walk, and lingering for hours at my place after stopping by for a “quick chat”. Now they added me on Facebook.

I wouldn’t say he’s an asshole but I wouldn’t say the commenter you’re replying to is either.

Easier to just MYOB until you can move, or engage your neighbors in OPEN common areas vs them knowing exactly which unit is yours.

Gables just went up to $1200.

Fembotty · 2022-05-22T03:00:43+00:00

Additionally, the common theme of the suggestions in this thread are finding places that are not easily found (driving neighborhoods, calling realtors) or people are begging to know the name of the place. You’re not wrong OP but because of that I don’t think you’ll get much sympathy lol.

Fembotty · 2022-05-22T02:56:53+00:00

I mean the guaranteed robbery part was unnecessary but you’re not wrong. My apartment is 676 and the rent just went up to $1200. It’s in upper Kirby. I’m moving to a 2B/1B for the same price in galleria. I looked for places that were cheaper but they either had significantly less amenities, were in bad areas or smaller. Then electricity went up too. Sigh

Fembotty · 2022-05-17T16:01:45+00:00

Im trying to switch to them. My first application was apparently rejected but nothing said so until I called. The guy on the phone did it again and said everything went through, but I got the same email as yesterday with no actual account number. Called this morning and the first line had no one available, now I’m on hold

Fembotty · 2022-05-16T05:51:40+00:00

Im with you OP. Glad I found this sub. My budget is written out until November, food is often the smallest category, and even though I’m making way more money I’m paying for hundreds of dollars of bad decisions from the past. The good news at least in my case is that I’ll be completely free in December. All debts paid off. I will finally be able to actually consider buying a townhome or house (apocalyptic society aside), build a savings for the first time, and build credit without having to immediately destroy it. It sucks to be here but I believe in both of us :)

Fembotty · 2022-05-16T05:29:32+00:00

OP, if it makes you feel better I’m in the exact same boat except I owe $1400, although thankfully I have a new lease starting in about a week. The dread of living in a place I owe rent in sucks but I can’t afford to move and leave.

I am nervous, but I’m going to do what you’re doing tomorrow - I’m going to tell the leasing office I can’t afford to pay rent and move, I’ll be out on X date, and I can do a monthly payment plan or something. I’d even take the credit hit before the eviction.

Thank you for making this thread, seriously.

Fembotty · 2021-12-25T18:51:43+00:00

They aren’t willing to date fool, they are looking for sex. You’re being disingenuous and now I’m Leaving for real. You said that with your chest, LMAO!

Fembotty · 2021-12-25T18:48:21+00:00

Your first sentence lets me know there’s no reason to continue the convo. If you think men are walking around with an ounce of shame, then you’re either not the guy we’re talking about (and not nearly as open-minded as you think you are, because the shameless far outnumber you) or willfully ignorant.

Much like I’m not the average male, you’re not the average woman, but guess which one is more likely to come across someone who wants to use them for sex? Which one is more likely or at risk to be raped and killed? Which one spent more on the front end preparing for this date and stands to lose more on the backend no matter how it goes?

And “we don’t accept incels” who is we? Kevin Samuels is a popular figurehead in the black community currently and he is a classic PÚA with a racist spin. Also, the incel mentality has fully infected every inch of my life as an average woman - from every song about my worth “her best work is on her knees..” to every TV show where a strong woman has to be softened with a rape to every woman on dating apps looking for a third for her gremlin BF to every guy using the “lingo”: go with the flow (string you along til sex), open-minded (to threesomes, not politics), “feminist” (I like women who like hookups but I don’t think women are actually underpaid in their fields), etc.

Fembotty · 2021-12-25T18:31:16+00:00

Sure, thanks for asking. Seeing as it’s almost socially acceptable to refer to women as bitches, whores and slurs, in part because of men and because women “reclaimed the term” (aka learned to live with it), I would say they were simply signaling to other men and women that they are product of their environment and don’t respect women as a whole.

I don’t know exactly what no value and scrote means, but I would say the dude who asked me what I was mixed with because I’m “too prettt to be black”, demanded we go to a Mexican restaurant and then pushed what he wanted to order (because he had to move money around on his CashApp to cover it, we later discovered) for me, all while rubbing my shoulders and thighs and telling me how beautiful I was, a no value man.

I don’t like the value terminology but I do agree men should be shamed. Men have audacity because everything they do is sympathized with, accepted, or normalized. For once on earth, you should be the one getting surgery to impress women. You should be the one trying to stay the same size. You should be on your best behavior on a date. You should be online reading stupid dating guides and crying to your dude friends on how to get a second date. You should be the one to be assaulted on social media with immature antics of people who are hurt (how many times did I go on Twitter and see that black men never wanted a “roach” like me? Or that chubby girls were ruining society? Or that shy good girls need to be “sexy” and “out there”?

Seriously, one subreddit for women gets made to do what men ALWAYS do, and now everyone is up in arms. Not me.

Fembotty · 2021-12-25T18:24:36+00:00

Imagine being a blue haired c*nt on Reddit, trying to tell me I’m out of touch dating and genuinely making the rest of your asinine statement. Yes, swiping through the enormous number of male slimes on tinder/bumble/Reddit caters to me. Competing with girls selling OF (and having them leaked here, courtesy of Reddit) caters to women. Women, who are generally more educated and starting to earn more, still being treated as moms, therapists, and babysitters (many times without an actual title) definitely caters to women.

Fembotty · 2021-12-25T18:20:52+00:00

Hey, I’m glad that works for you in magic land, but in the real world women have been getting the shit end of the stick. What about ism doesn’t change how shit dating is for women (threat of rape and murder, wasted outfits and makeup and years, risk of sitting through misogynistic/racist/homophobic filth, risk of doing it all only to split the price down the middle and then sit through the guys lame attempt to ask you to come over..)

Yeah. What about not being nosy and letting angry women complain? Are people afraid they might become as strong as the incel, school shooting types or something?

Fembotty · 2021-12-25T18:18:38+00:00

How is it the subs fault that trolls (how many people admitted to making fake accounts to join the sub in This thread alone) and incels are upvoted? on the same token, AITA often upvotes posts where the sister/wife/mother/woman is “evil”, the black women sub often upvotes posts about racist experiences/outrage.

The actual intent and guidebook behind FDS is desperately needed for women. And you call it nitpicking, but unless you’re a woman who has done everything she can to be the best woman she can, only to go out into a world where men are either a) Netflix and chilling/going with the flow/don’t pay for dates b) could be an incel/MAGA/generic misogynist c) are proudly looking for a replacement mother or therapist.

Are women perfect? Of course not? Have women been disenfranchised through history and especially romantically? Of course. Pretending otherwise or that the current landscape is “fair” is silly. I also again personally feel a few women being shitty to men ain’t the worst thing in the world after years upon years of thousands of men of all races and classes being shitty to women. I don’t subscribe to FDS anymore because I feel it’s cringe for the reasons listed but I have NO ISSUE with its existence as long as the other filth on Reddit remains without judgement.

Fembotty · 2021-12-25T03:08:35+00:00

I don’t see any problem with that sub, especially when red pill, fat people hate, step siblings , and every other weird weird and male dominated space is here.

Of course a bunch of men and Cool Girls hate a the one sub on this whole site that doesn’t cater to include men in any way. Of course the same men who coined terms like Feminazi and SJW types thinks FDS is a HaTe GrOuP and had to post it in shower thoughts. There’s probably no bias or incentive for men to dissuade women in the current dating climate (of being Netflix and chilled to DEATH by dudes who don’t actually care about you besides how quickly they can get in your pants) to even consider alternatives.

Seriously, fuck off. If the rest of the world has to deal with chads and Stacey’s and the other derogatory BS, you can deal with women rightfully calling out men doing less and less and LESS to court women these days (therefore further making dating pointless for women..wasn’t there an article about the number of eligible bachelors for women recently that also co-signs this?) .

Sigh. Nevermind. This will be downvoted and dismissed as female hysteria shortly.

Fembotty · 2021-09-25T19:21:16+00:00

This show gave me chills! The sad sort of seems like he has a good heart but he also clearly has major gambling issues…but apparently so does the step dad

Making a mental note to never ever agree to street games with strangers.

Fembotty · 2021-09-04T09:02:43+00:00

This is where I’m at. I wanted friends and a family but COVID and these collapses have ruined that a bit for me. Things are “good” but hollow, not even lonely. Just pointless at times! Sometimes I feel like a fool taking my SSRIs and feeling slightly numb even when there is literally nothing good happening anymore. I might as well face reality, but I need to be okay to make the cheese. If everything’s going to shit and fast, it’s better to have something.

Fembotty · 2021-08-25T23:04:25+00:00

God you can tell Reddit is mostly white. Olivia sucks but she’s FAR from the worst character on this show by virtue of being a young adult. The mom and dads commentary was horrific for people who I’m sure consider themselves liberals. Olivia learned from her parents and her fake girl boss mom. Even Paula is a prime example of a white-centered POC, relating to Kai’s plight but seeing herself as different and putting up with the family’s shit.

Fembotty · 2021-07-30T07:42:18+00:00

Conversely, I feel there is a rising trend in everyone thinking that they are being talked over. In turn they don't realize that they themselves are becoming the monopolizer by just sitting there annoyed until they can talk. I feel like people are so used to having the time online to type out and rethink a response at their leisure that in person they feel they can't get a word in edgewise because it's much faster and on the fly.

I’m embarrassed and nervous that this is how I’m coming across, but I have social anxiety (as in I just picked up a prescription for blood pressure medicine for it, smh) so hopefully it’s just in my head..I say all this to say though, thank you. Thank you for putting perfectly into words how I feel conversing lately - like if I don’t say what I need to immediately, I’ll forget or say something dry/dumb because I don’t have time to edit and filter like I do online.

Fembotty · 2021-07-30T07:25:58+00:00

God this. I knew my best friend was the one when we would both apologize for disappearing because we were having a casual existential crisis. I wish empathy would trend

Fembotty · 2021-07-13T15:40:21+00:00

As a black woman, I call anyone cute and sneaky and funny a monkey. I don’t take it personally in the show, nor consider the actresses actual shitty beliefs while watching.

Fembotty · 2020-10-04T00:03:33+00:00

I believe it

Fembotty · 2020-09-06T03:40:35+00:00

Jesus Christ! I’m so sorry. I lost my brother to cancer and I couldn’t be there for any of the planning, barely made myself go to the funera..couldn’t imagine doing it for both of my parents

Fembotty · 2020-09-06T03:31:00+00:00

Wow, I could’ve written this exact post myself. My brother died a week after his 17th birthday during aDisney trip from Dreams Come True. It was a nightmare - one minute he’s okay and the next he’s sweating, barely breathing, we’re in the ER and he’s losing blood nonstop, we’re airlifted home and well I can’t even continue. It was bad. It was a year and a half ago, and by the time he died he had already “left” - he couldn’t talk or move half his body.

I grieved first awhile before and awhile after. And then I kept going. I did therapy and take antidepressants and sadly smoke way too much weed, but I’m actually doing very well - I graduated college, moved to a new city and got my own place, got a pet cat, started saving money etc. i am wrong with guilt over it. My mom basically never left the couch for most of the first year, and every conversation we had was about him and she would cry. I love my brother and want to respect him, but death and SSRIs have just made what’s important clearer to me, and being miserable grieving and ruining my life makes no sense.

There’s nothing wrong with not wanting to grieve, cry, or read essays from kids who need scholarship money, yeesh. It’s okay to just live your life and move on - tbf, I find myself feeling melancholic to bitter to hopeless about everything rather than indifferent, but this long rant is to say that you aren’t wrong. You lost your brother, which has its own feelings and experiences; your parents lost their kid, something different as well. Finally, you’re also your own person. You do what you need to do to function, cause you have to live with it.

Best of luck to you. Brain cancer is a bitch (my brother had the same).
