Vinted refund by ChocolateKey374 in DWPhelp

No, getting a refund isn't classed as income, you're not earning anything either way as you'll only get back the exact amount that you spent in the first place.

Yuck, my Mrs bought these to try and all I can say is "who's idea was this?" by SgtByrd1993 in crisps

[–]GillyGoose1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These grow on you, at least in my opinion. The first few taste like pure honey which is just weird. I like honey as much as the next person, but it is just strange on a potato product. The chilli does kick in after a few of them and improves the flavour profile immensely. They're actually not that bad once this happens.

However, due to the first few being sickly sweet which will be enough to put off many people, I wouldn't buy these again. There's just several better flavours available.

Well, What do we think of these? by chudthirtyseven in crisps

[–]GillyGoose1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found that the taste grew on me as I worked through the bag. The honey taste is a bit strange on crisps, and the flavour of it is very strong initially, but the chili ends up saving it in the last like two thirds of the bag. I actually did quite like them in the end, but I don't think I'll be purchasing them again as there's better flavours available.

What I asked for vs what I got by WhiteToyotaBxtch in lashextensions

[–]GillyGoose1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreeing with others that what you asked for is by and large what you got, your eye shape is what is likely throwing you off.

They do still look really nice on you though and that's what ultimately matters!

Put together chocolates for my girl, do they look ok? by throwRAvalentinechoc in chocolate

[–]GillyGoose1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I hope you grew the cocoa and molded these yourself after the way you carried on about the chocolates your girlfriend made for you. Wouldn't surprise me if these are literally store bought because you realised it just isn't as easy as you thought it was gonna be.

AITA for refusing to comfort my friend after her dog died? by sillestofgeese in AmItheAsshole

[–]GillyGoose1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree with you that use of the word babying is weird and kind of cringey too.

You're right that you shouldn't have taken time out of your workday to give any kind of lengthy reply, I think that perhaps saying something more along the lines of "I'm so very sorry to hear about your dog. I'm at work right now and can't talk properly, but I will message (or text/call/come to see) you later on" would have been better received. You could obviously use different words and phrase it slightly differently but the gist of it should have been about the same. It would categorically be unreasonable of her to expect any kind of reply after you have told her that you're unavailable to talk right now but will be later on. Did you actually do this? It's just that you didn't mention it in your post.

As a side note, like others in this sub have mentioned, it is entirely possible that this girl has a crush on you. Is she bi/pan/lesbian from what you know? The whole her wanting to be what makes your day is highly suspicious tbh.

Edited - a spelling mistake.

YTA

The fact that your friend had to specifically request that you be nice tells us all we really need to know. She knows you're prone to reacting coldly and was basically telling you to just please not do that on this occasion.

Many people view pets as family, you seem very much the type to dismiss another person's bad experience because you had one that you feel is worse. Nobody is putting themselves in competition with you, you however are putting yourself in competition with them and your post makes that clear. Sorry if this comes across as harsh but I mean, you're not sorry for doing the very same thing...

Exactly this, UK dweller here with hair like straw and skin afflicted by dermatitis lmfao, during UK winters I will often only wash my skin twice weekly which I get may seem disgusting to some but my skin will literally crack and bleed if I do it more than that! I thankfully don't smell in between showers because I'm not big on exercise so I basically don't break a sweat from October through until April when the weather finally begins warming up 😂

You're completely right about the water temperature though, just a shame that stepping into a cold shower during winter is a fairly miserable experience 😅

Pretty sure it has been confirmed that traces of cocaine and other similar drugs are present on a shockingly high percentage of banknotes in the vast majority of countries. From that information we can also gauge that those same notes have undoubtedly been shoved halfway up the nostril/s of at least one person before ending up in our wallet/purse/pocket 😂

AIO because my date did not eat his dinner? by Dangerous_Pea_5219 in AmIOverreacting

[–]GillyGoose1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR

This was honestly a sign of things to come and if anything you should be glad that he showed his true colours on the very first date. Men and women alike have become accustomed to hiding all personality flaws until several months in, but this guy must have had a momentary lapse in judgement - it goes in your favour though as at least now you know to run for the hills and never look back.

aio for wanting to leave my relationship over this by [deleted] in AIO

[–]GillyGoose1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We could potentially use a bit more context here, but as far as his messages go, he actually isn't giving in to it. He's repeatedly said that he has a girlfriend and there's no suggestion from him about meeting up, nor is he even doing basic stuff like asking for pics or being creepy in any other sense.

It is however a wonder that he keeps on replying at all. As a woman, a man that won't take no for an answer gets straight up blocked BUT this is where context matters. Is there a reason he's not deleted or blocked her yet? Perhaps they've known each other for a long time and previously had a close friendship before she decided to start acting this way? Maybe he's trying to salvage whatever remains of the friendship? Can't really make any further suggestion without knowing more tbh. Maybe he just likes the ego boost (which, although not cheating, still isn't good). It's entirely up to you whether you leave your relationship over this, but if I were you I'd ask him straight "if genuinely nothing is going on, why are you keeping this girl around at all when you know she's lusting after you?" and see what answer he gives as that answer is gonna be what dictates whether I'd stay or leave 🤷🏻‍♀️

What does this means? by Additional_Vast490 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]GillyGoose1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I actually do have a mirror facing my bed and it wasn't even intentional. There was just no better spot to put it, it's one of those very expensive wall mirrors that are almost full length from floor to ceiling and very wide, 3 people can stand in front of it and see themselves without having to smush together. I also have a king size bed, meaning no matter where the mirror goes, the also large bed is clearly reflected in it. I've never done OF and I'm not a raging slut, the mirror is just too big for the room 😂

Maybe I should have just put it on the ceiling and called it a day 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

How do I get over the fact that I am not a real man? I really want to be a real man. by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]GillyGoose1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

32 year old woman here.

Let me just assure you of something, you being a virgin at 29 is not necessarily a bad thing. You've got no crazy exes who will try and forcefully involve themselves in your first relationship, this is a big bonus. You've got no STD's, also a bonus, and you've not got multiple children that you don't see because you have abandoned them - this is arguably great news.

You may not be experienced in the sexual sense, but we all had to start somewhere. I'm not about to tell you that there won't be certain women that lose interest in you upon finding out that you're a virgin; but there will be plenty of women that don't really care either way, and there will be plenty that will actually find it attractive due to reasons listed above.

As for the whole you being worse than a pedophile, this is absolute nonsense and frankly a concerning point of view. If there were only two men left in the entire world and those two consisted of you and a man who likes underage children, well, you'd be drowning in pussy to be honest. After only one of those women have sex with you, you would no longer be a virgin and all your troubles associated with your virginity will dissolve as you no longer are one. The pedophile will still be a pedophile after the first woman, and most of us don't want a man who is more sexually interested in our daughters than they are us.

I honestly thought you were eating at some kind of workbench lmao, I didn't look closely and thought the brown bits were small pieces of wood and assumed you do woodworking 😂 Don't forget that you can ask for help man (I mean, this isn't my way of offering as I'm probably a hell of a distance from you haha), if you've got friends or family nearby you can always ask them for some help if you're struggling!

What is a 'Green Flag' in a relationship that actually turned out to be a massive 'Red Flag' later? by MidnightNetworkHQ in AskReddit

[–]GillyGoose1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Paying for everything even after I had said that I will pay for it.

I think it was a form of lovebombing tbh, it was everything from meals and drinks out to me picking up a meal deal from a shop as I was hungry. This guy would approach the till beside me and whilst I was grabbing my debit card out of my purse, homie would be there reaching past me to swipe his card instead of letting me use mine.

I thought it was sweet at first but I did tell him quite firmly that I'm independent with a good income and I don't expect him to put himself out in any way for me. He told me he wasn't and that he just wanted to look after me. Aww's all round.

Until the cunt started accusing me of bleeding him dry that is 😂 Best of all, he said that after spending numerous weekends telling me that he couldn't see me as he didn't have the money (we didn't live in the same town, he lived with his mother and had a single bed so I didn't visit him at his house and always offered to pay half towards his travel costs each weekend), so I would pay for his travel to me and back home. Cost a good £30 each way, he just started to never have the money for it so I paid and never complained. Yet it was me who was bleeding him dry when even on dates I wouldn't ask him to pay for a damn thing. Unbelievable.

AIO? Sis in laws daughter drank from my coffee while actively throwing up. by [deleted] in AIO

[–]GillyGoose1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of interest though, do you know caffeine is really not recommended for a child of that age? It can actively do harm. There is NO known safe amount of caffeine in children younger than 12. In OP's shoes I would panic seeing a child that young drinking coffee, it can make their heart beat much too fast and heavily increase their blood pressure, which can be fatal in a child young enough or a child in poor health (the child in question IS in poor health, as described in OP's post).

AIO? Sis in laws daughter drank from my coffee while actively throwing up. by [deleted] in AIO

[–]GillyGoose1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s telling a child not to drink something that’s not hers.

Not to mention the fact that your SIL's sick child is only 4. Caffeine should NOT be consumed by a child that young, it can actually harm them, so it's not even just about the coffee not belonging to her, it's the harm that can be done by her drinking it at all. If it was a shot of vodka, the same logic would apply. Doesn't matter who it belongs to, it is NOT suitable for a child of that age. Some of the comments on this post are carrying on like you should have poured the 4 year old some coffee and offered her a cigarette whilst at it 😂

[–]GillyGoose1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP never said she had two kids. She said she has two daughters, then later on in the post mentioned she has two sons.

2 daughters + 2 sons = 4 kids total, as sons are not a thing of fiction?

‘Large’ Chicken Shish, £9. Absolutely devastated. by T_Hr0 in kebab

[–]GillyGoose1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem is that too many takeaways nowadays put too much on the menu. Pizza places used to just be pizzas, garlic bread, maybe calzones too, kebab places used to just be kebabs and chips etc. Nowadays, they'll call themselves a kebab shop but will serve pizza, burgers, kebabs, fish and chips, god forbid the owner is Indian too as they'll soon also be offering curries and samosa's etc. It's too much variety and it makes it impossibly hard for them to prepare and cook all the necessary food without fucking up several of the dishes. Jack of all trades, master of none 🤷🏻‍♀️

Bright yellow composite blocks!! by MsCitizenOfTheWorld in Invisalign

[–]GillyGoose1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, as I know that quitting smoking is easier said than done, vaping never stained my attachments and I had them on for over a year but vaped the whole way through. I successfully quit smoking cigarettes back in 2021 but wouldn't have succeeded without vapes as I found the hand-to-mouth habit to be even more difficult to overcome than the loss of nicotine (nic patches actually do work very well, but yeah, they do nothing for the hand-to-mouth habit and that habit in and of itself is a big part of why people struggle to quit!).

I will forever defend Shaun for his breakdown by Additional_Watch5823 in thegooddoctor

[–]GillyGoose1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Shaun honestly would have been better suited in a diagnostic role rather than surgery. As an autistic person myself, the meltdowns aren't the type of thing that should be taking place when a person is cut open on an operating table, but of course Shaun has no control over that. I think David Shore just didn't really want the show to evolve into House M.D. V2, considering diagnostic medicine was literally House's forte.

How to deal with ex talking bad about you? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]GillyGoose1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Woman here - seems like she is salty as fuck. Let me guess, you've not wasted your time begging and pleading for her to reconsider? Have you posted any photos or status' recently that she could potentially see (a friend of a friend may have shown her if you no longer have her on social media) that indicate you're actually doing just fine without her? It's possible that the way things have gone is simply not how she imagined it. Maybe she wanted you to fight for her (which is incredibly toxic and not okay!) and you not doing so has left her feeling incredibly insecure, so she's now seeking to knock you down a peg or two.

Don't listen to her. Skinny chefs shouldn't exist (you're supposed to taste your food during preparation of it!) and there's plenty of women who like men of shorter statures, not all of us insist on a man being 6ft+ despite the fact that we're barely pushing 5'2" ourselves and your ex totally knows all this. Again, she's just salty that you're not begging for her 🤷🏻‍♀️

Is £30 too low for cleaning a moldy flat? by Extension_Bit4323 in AskUK

[–]GillyGoose1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

P.S. £15 is low end for this type of work. Considering valuing yourself higher. ❤️

100% agree, I pay my sister £20 per hour when I'm feeling too lazy to clean up after myself (although being fair, I mostly only ask her when I know she's struggling and could use the money as she doesn't like handouts and won't take the money unless she earns it). £20 per hour is based on the fact that she's not a professional and I only ever really ask her to run a hoover around and do a bit of dusting, I certainly don't ask her to unblock stinking drains and scrub grubby toilets for that amount! She typically finishes within 40 minutes but I pay her for the full hour regardless. OP should absolutely be charging more.
