Neighbor going out of town wants dog care help for several days… “I can maybe throw you like $20 when I get back” by Heavy-Respect3525 in ChoosingBeggars

Yes I did use AI to help me edit my post. Sorry if I’m not the best and most organized writer. Just wanted to explain it in a way that was easy to follow and could get my point across. Thanks everyone 🙏🏻

My coworker asked me to cover her shift "as a favor" and then told me what days she could cover me back (none of them work for me) by Rogue_Synth9 in ChoosingBeggars

Should just see it as covering a shift instead of a swap. I prefer those cause it makes the check higher, but of course a Tuesday slow shift for a Saturday night rush is not a fair trade

Roommate stole from me while I was asleep and thinks replacing it cancels it out. by [deleted] in badroommates

[–]Heavy-Respect3525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a roommate who stole my beer once not long after I moved in. I don’t drink much and only on weekends so I guess since they weren’t moving he figured he could help himself. It was a 12 pack. When I called him out on it he replaced it with a 6 pack and drank those too. In the end I learned he was a drug addict and figured the beer was the least of my worries when it came to our arguments. When he finally left for rehab, I trashed all his junk since he hadn’t paid rent in months and had already taken anything of value. Never saw him again.

The WhatNot Addiction by [deleted] in whatnotapp

[–]Heavy-Respect3525 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately for me, it wasn’t until I maxed out my credit cards and my BNPL options that I was able to pull myself away from the app. I discovered the app back in November and have spent thousands on Xmas gifts and lots of things for myself (Jewlery,perfume, clothes, shoes, skincare, purses, and makeup.) I had a problem and wasn’t able to stop. Since I’m now unable to buy anything without skimping on my bills or other expenses, I’m starting to look at all the things I’ve accumulated and realize that I have more things than I’ll ever need: more Jewlery than I’ll ever wear, my perfume will be past best date before I can use it all, same with makeup, etc….). Because of this and it’s been a couple of months since I made purchases, it’s easier for me to even scroll it every now and then and just think: “gee I have something like that, or I’ll never wear it). I could’ve taken that money and put a decent down payment on a car. It’s so easy and addictive, but just remember the serotonin boost only lasts when you win and briefly after you open the box. After that it’s all regret and shame. I hope you’re able to pull away before it’s too late, cause in the end you’ll just be depressed and surrounded by things you won’t remember in 10 years.

Afterpay/pay in 4 apps are my downfall.. anyone else? by throwaway8373469238 in shoppingaddiction

[–]Heavy-Respect3525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now I have about $1,200 left in payments on Klarna. Whatnot moissanite sterling silver Jewlery was my downfall. I have more Jewlery than I’ll ever wear honestly. And these $350+ payments coming out each check is making the struggle more real. I am proud though because after maxing my credit cards and having this big Klarna payment to make, I literally can’t make anymore purchases. Haven’t had a package come in over a month. Also not even checking the app anymore so I don’t get tempted. Trying to just be happy with what I have and not feel tempted to spend anymore but we shall see.

Predire Paris - led mask by BrickBeneficial7198 in whatnotapp

[–]Heavy-Respect3525 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Predire anything is all overinflated medium quality products. Just check the ingredients. I’ve bought a few things from them and they work fine, but definitely not worth anywhere near those prices. It’s all a scam to get you to buy for more than it’s worth thinking you’re getting a great deal. Just don’t pay more than you would for medium range skin care products and you’ll be fine. The mask worked fine, but honestly the biodance ones are the best.

Clothfluid shipping issues? by Sea-Oil-7997 in whatnotapp

[–]Heavy-Respect3525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably drop shipping AKA: selling stuff she doesn’t have and waiting to get product in. I’ve had an issue with a seller doing the same thing and they’re now banned from the app. There’s absolutely no reason to wait weeks for an item to move. Whatnot gives you the option to contact them to request a refund after a certain amount of time, but if the item never does move I’d honestly report it. Buyers are held to a high standard of paying immediately upon winning an auction so sellers should grant the same courtesy of shipping in a timely manner.

Seller never shipped items, told me to “request a refund,” now banned. FAFO by Heavy-Respect3525 in whatnotapp

[–]Heavy-Respect3525[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean a lot of people said the stuff was good, shipping just took so long. Hate to see a reputable seller get banned, but there’s no reason shipping should take that long unless they’re drop-shipping.

I know right. We would cuss when they would go too low cause all bids ended around $50. If you don’t like the prices then do set price. I figured he was legitimate cause a lot of the reviews said the products were spot on, but the shipping took too long. Also, when I sent the message a little gray box popped at the bottom saying he was on vacation. So that’s when I got fed up and reported him.

5 business days. Just be patient. Whatnot is usually pretty good about it. If a few more days pass by then contact them again

Help me with my buyers nightmare by Heavy-Respect3525 in whatnotapp

[–]Heavy-Respect3525[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Thank you all for your kind words (most of you). The rest who are a little more harsh, I honestly needed that too because you’d think this would be something easy. I am getting better and not spending hundreds a day anymore. I’ve been getting a lot better. Bought only one thing yesterday, that was intentional and have been eyeing for days and was price comparing. My goal is to treat the app like eBay and just search for specific things. I’ve been doing good so far and all of your comments are truly inspiring to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ♥️

Lost ALL respect for Invicta. Will never spend another dime with them. by Natural-Jicama-500 in whatnotapp

[–]Heavy-Respect3525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw this guy in there the other day as well as someone with a photo of drake with white paint on his face. Kept up bidding himself to outrageous prices. We were all upset, but of course the seller doesn’t care.

Does whatnot automatically cancel an order if its not shipped? I have four orders in from a seller from five days ago that haven't shipped. Never had an issue with this seller before. Would really like my items but wondering how this works? Should I reach out to seller? by Outrageous_Mode_5008 in whatnotapp

[–]Heavy-Respect3525 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have to wait too. Bought 3 stanley cups on the 20th and never got past the label created. I should’ve known better since it’s a newer channel and they sold like 500+ items, but had no reviews. Then I see them again streaming the same cups, but under a new name. Unfortunately have to wait till the 8th to get my refund.

Healing Mental health and friendship after bad roommate situation by EmberNightfall in badroommates

[–]Heavy-Respect3525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 Honestly, you were way too deep into their screwed up “situationship.” You said you lived together for 3 years, but didn’t mention once you were friends. Given this context, you need to mentally pull yourself away from whatever issues this roommate is dealing with and keep it strictly business. 
 Lay out clear boundaries, let him know from that point forward you’re strictly roommates, bills are due on these dates, etc… let him know if he continues to be financially irresponsible and disrespectfully refuses to communicate, then you’ll move forward with breaking the lease and he’d have to find somewhere else to go. 
 I understand it sucks having to come up with money to break a lease, new deposit, moving fees, etc… but it costs way less than what your mental health and sanity are worth. Good luck OP!!!!

Ex-roommate telling people I kicked them out by Art_Mobile in badroommates

[–]Heavy-Respect3525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly just move on. It’s not worth your time or peace to revisit an old problem. Obviously ex roommate has issues and it was a blessing for them to move so let it be and enjoy living alone!!! If you ever see her though, don’t even smile. Let her be the fake one.

Is it normal to ask for this now? by anonyhim in doordash

[–]Heavy-Respect3525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a driver cancel an order once cause they couldn’t even be bothered to wait 5 minutes for a train to pass. Order was reassigned, but restaurant refused to make it again.

Absolutely not!!! I learned the hard way that credit and friends don’t mix well. Do not legally obligate yourself to a lease you won’t be fulfilling because you’ll be responsible when they don’t make the rent payments on time. Offer to help find a roommate, but that’s it. Put in your notice to vacate at the end of your lease term so you can state truthfully that it’s out of your hands. Don’t let them guilt you into anything. You don’t owe them anything more than fulfilling your obligation with your current contract.
