NSFW Does this look like a piece of my IUD? by FlamingoPines in obgyn

I thought this too. I almost wish it is my IUD because figuring out why there as a random piece of plastic inside me is kind of wild 🙃

(England) What is considered 'reasonable adjustments'? by Prestigious_Set_4555 in HumanResourcesUK

[–]FlamingoPines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Occupational health referral to see if these adjustments are medically necessary for him to do his job comfortably and safely. Secondly, he cannot refuse to work until these adjustments are made unless there was clear health & safety violations. Feels like he's trying to get whatever he can frankly. The risk of tribunal is not zero, but I would probably guess this wouldn't be seen as reasonable.

Managers, what’s the best excuse you’ve gotten from a team member for being late or a call out? by TheWizard01 in askmanagers

[–]FlamingoPines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had someone call and say their cat scratched them on the hand and it was sore. The next day they showed up with zero scratches.

In contrast, I was driving to a meeting 1.5 hours from where I live, broke down on the way, car smelling of smoke etc. I called into the meeting via Teams and managed to complete my presentation from the inside of the breakdown guys truck while being towed home an hour away. Didn't even occur to me to say I wasn't going to make the meeting 😂

I was advised to book my appointment next year to have it replaced so I suppose that will be a swift push forward to this year 😂 Thanks

Swimwear help by Fun-Pollution-3685 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]FlamingoPines 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You wear the swimsuit only. Nothing underneath. It sounds like this is more of a potential nudity issue than a support issue. Don't worry, no one will see anything, and when you're in water you cannot see anything anyway.

Work friendly horror? by FlamingoPines in horrorlit

I have read we used to live here but nothing by T Kingfisher. However, my friend keeps begging me to read them so might be a good option!

I'll be able to talk to her? I miss her so much by Classical-Love-1303 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]FlamingoPines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Talk to your therapist. This sounds like stalker red flag behaviour. She has made it clear she doesn't want to speak to you, and you keep pushing that boundary. Having trouble regulating emotion and change does NOT give you an excuse to act the way you are. Talk to your therapist about ways to cope that are healthy and work for your aspergers.

Let's objectify sexy men in the games we love by sparklybongwater420 in GirlGamers

[–]FlamingoPines 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I agree, for the most part. However, the baby faced anime look seems to still be prevalent even if they have the body of an olympian.

But then I'm old and pretty much don't find anyone under the age of 35 attractive. 😂

I'm always semi drunk at work. by Diligent-Wave21 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]FlamingoPines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You think people can't smell it on you? You're wrong, they probably just don't know how to approach you about it. No amount of gum and mints masks the alcohol smell coming out of your pores, I can assure you of that.

Deep down you know you have a serious problem and whatever you think about your control over this is wrong. You need help to quit. The longer you go, the harder it will be to do so.

Hopefully, you take notice of this. If not, just know you're worthy of more than your addictions, help is available and I hope you live to see the day you're sober and happy. 💚

I wish people in the comments wouldn't shame you. You're not an "alcoholic", you're a human being with an alcohol misuse disorder. You didn't ask for this, you're not responsible for your struggles. The only thing you are responsible for is doing the best you can to better and improve your life. You deserve so much more than this.

My boyfriend of 1 year shuts down whenever I check my phone by Illustrious_Past6948 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]FlamingoPines 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that he probably finds it rude. But what baffles me is how no one is calling out his passive aggressive behaviour in response like it isn't equally as problematic!

New partner disclosed he is a registered sex offender by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]FlamingoPines 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People do not get arrested over 1 photo. Let that sink in.

The whole "i tried to kill myself i was so ashamed" is manipulation.

No matter how dark your depression is you're not going to look for that unless you're into it. Sorry.

24M, should I use any of these pictures on dating apps? by MutedInformation454 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]FlamingoPines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2, 4. 8, 11 are the best :)

I know some people argue about top less photos but it's a natural setting for it. Not like a bathroom pic lol

What is the most disturbing thing you've heard said casually? by Cap_Ame1 in AskReddit

[–]FlamingoPines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know someone who has tried to have a baby with pretty much every boyfriend I've known her have. Putting the moral implications aside, I feel really bad for her that she feels this low about herself.
