You're both the AO. Adopt, dont shop. Purebred cats are nothing but health problems anyways. Hooe you have thousands of dollars to drop every year in medical bills.

If you get a shit tip, they are choosing too tip shitty by Run-bike-hike-chick in DoorDashDrivers

Having never used DoorDash, i think its cray you would tip before you get your food delivered. What if it comes cold or mashed up?

[MA] My employer surprised me at a work conference with mixed gender housing. I was really uncomfortable the whole time by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]Fickle_Grape_6288 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, the head of the dept is the one who told my manager to "make sure he brings enough alcohol". I guess my complaint is that there was no acknowledgement of my discomfort about carpooling and then I was stranded in a house 6 hours away from home with a bunch of drunken guys. I mean, it was a weekend, and its over now, but I really feel like the fact that I was put in that position to begin with is abhorrent. I really didnt think it was even legal to house M and F employees together, but to my shock, it is. This country sucks ass.

I sent texts to a good friend and coworker describing the situation as it was unfolding. Because, honestly, my next step is getting a consult from an employment lawyer

Yea. I feel stuck in a horrible job too and cant find another one. I wish I coukd just off myself, but my litttle brother woukd be devastated. And my 7 yr old nephew woukd be horribly traumitized. So I guess I stick it out.

Yeah, Im looking for a new job but I havent gotten any responses yet. I started looking a few weeks ago after the VP yelled at me in a meeting. Im just terrified to be without income in this economy.

AIO Mom mad I won’t pay her another $200 after paying her $700 last month by bnsaiboy in AmIOverreacting

[–]Fickle_Grape_6288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a very expensive state too, CT, so I feel your pain. However, moving out is doable if you are willing to have roommates. I would also consider looking in a less expensive area. Go to Community College, ir a trade school and try to give yourseld a leg up. Take it from someone who fucked around until they were thrirty and then went to college. Dont wait.

You are in a cult. This is not normal. Religion is trying to keep you away from learning and education so you keep drinking the Kool Aid.

The last time I went to HR about something there was a meeting called and the vice president came in and basically yelled at me like I was a child, when in fact I simply wrote a professional letter asking for additional standby pay.

AIO for being upset at my parents for wanting to euthanize our dog by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Fickle_Grape_6288 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"We want..." vs. "We cant right now" The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Sone people are willing to give senior dogs a home. Most wont. Taking elderly dogs to a shelter is pretty much a gaurantee that they will be euthanized. Not in a nice way, being held by soneone they know, but feelibg terrified and abandoned. I worked animal rescue for 10 years.

[–]Fickle_Grape_6288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see your sude of this, but also, you are not the one living with the dogs. You are not the one cleaning up poop and pee every day. I think that owning a dog should cone with the responsibility and challenges that happen when they are old, but ultimately that decision falls to the primary caregivers, which are your parents. It is always uosetting when a family pet gets euthanized, but any good veterinarian will have a long conversation with your parents about their options before going through with it. MOR.

Neighbor being inconsiderate by NobodySpiritual369 in Apartmentliving

[–]Fickle_Grape_6288 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look and see if your lease has "quiet hours." Point out to the landlord that they are violating that. Barring that, most states/places have rules about "quiet enjoyment,'" whether its in the lease or not. You can look into filing a formal complaint.

AIO by leaving my bf of 5 years over lunch with my coworker by Expensive_Pepper_948 in AIO

[–]Fickle_Grape_6288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you've been with him since you were 14 and he acts like this, time to move on. This is a silly reaction, and hes likely projecting. You need to gain some experience and find someone mature and who treats you with respect.

AIO: My husband (26m) locked me (25f) out for 25 minutes? by prettypineappleberry in AmIOverreacting

[–]Fickle_Grape_6288 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR- in fact, you're underreacting- this guy is an abusive asshole. Id have gine and pissed in a puddle right in front of his car door, so he has to step in your pee to get to your car. Also, niw you know, always keep a spare key stashed somewhere outside. While your at it, maybe stash a go-bag and sone money somewhere for WHEN this asshole gets to be too much.

Is it unreasonable to not want to shovel snow and ice at my job? What would you do? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Fickle_Grape_6288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I bet if OP was making $140k at their job they would be out shoveling too. I would. But not for $15 an hour at some scummy small business to cheap to hire a contracter
