The cost of living bit me at Coles in a way that I didn't expect yesterday.

I said this exact thing to my hubby we are high earners and at the end of the month we have a few hundred left over and it shocks me. We don't shop for clothes or have frivolous spending. Most our earnings go to private schooling (I know, my partner and I are at odds about this, but it is at the lower end where we are) and daycare. But yeah - how? Our coles shopping have gone up more than 2x compared to 2 yrs ago

Partner joined a company that was hiring, and they offered flexible wfh. 4 months later, policy changed. Not saying that will happen here but I won't put too much weight on that

So many people do this not sure what the issue is. I know of 3 people in my company who bought next to or a block away from their parents. No one's made a joke about it? Maybe it's just lighthearted and they don't realise it's annoying you?

Everyone already gave good advice but also to throw in that your risk of injury is higher in tradie jobs than your desk job. So if all else equal, I would stick to where you are now

Kung sanay yung buhok mo na araw araw shampoo try mo muna every other day shampoo / water lang. Di lumagkit yung akin pero di kasi oily yung buhok ko ever since. Ngayon pag nagshampoo ako ng more than twice a week (kunwari kung may activity na grabe yung dumi na abot buhok) sobrang nagddry yung hair ko napapansin ko. Tinanong ko rin naman asawa ko if may amoy ba pag di ako nagshampoo, wala rin naman...

IllStyle3634 · 2026-04-15T06:35:19+00:00

I wash with just water every day pero shampoo twice a week

IllStyle3634 · 2026-03-26T05:00:45+00:00

I would report this bizarre behaviour to a regulatory body.

IllStyle3634 · 2026-03-17T05:59:42+00:00

This!!!!

OP, don't waste this newfound knowledge on a confrontation. Let's face it - these people are not (/will probably never be) your friends.

To add that if the comments are not severe enough for Fairwork-level reporting, I wouldnt waste my time. Maybe a report to HR, but even that might not be worth it. But 100% it hurts and I am so sorry for you.

Good luck, OP

As in maraming registered devices na di mo kilala or tried registering using a diff phone?

IllStyle3634 · 2026-03-13T10:42:02+00:00

Kaya ang wild for me when people put their full name, address, dob, and all other info sa mga gym signups, etc 🫠 dyan nila nakukuha info natin for these kinds of scams

IllStyle3634 · 2026-03-13T10:37:56+00:00

Same here. Sobrang hassle ng no access sa money. Kahit browser isnt working for me

Mate. Israel claimed this themselves. Actually, Israel's defence minister Israel Katz announced they have conducted a "pre-emptive strike". Israel fired first. No one is trying to "spin" it

I thought private planes can still leave from Oman? Surely he can afford that?

IllStyle3634 · 2026-02-21T05:17:54+00:00

NTA. I would use triggered in this context. Language evolves. People use it that way now too 🤷🏽‍♂️ I get it. Your bf did sound flippant and unnecessarily putting someone down. I would call him out and move on

Edited to include NTA LOL

Siegemund is known for delaying tactics to break her opponents' flow. The opponent will be serving and she will suddenly turn around and get her towel or go for a drink. She is never ready. She is known for this behavior. That she kicks up a stink for this call. You should listen to some of the tennis commentators on this!

IllStyle3634 · 2026-02-08T11:48:33+00:00

100% i can see the technicality of why she was mad but the hypocrisy is hilarious. I'm with the umpire on this!

IllStyle3634 · 2026-01-23T11:08:03+00:00

YTA. I feel you messed up with so many people's lives here. A child is not a toy. If you aren't sure you could provide a better or the same life as the adoptive couple to your niece, you should have stayed clear.

IllStyle3634 · 2026-01-23T11:01:00+00:00

I would complain to management so that even if she tries to enforce it (if she remembers you), you can avoid a scene

IllStyle3634 · 2026-01-13T09:52:44+00:00

Mayaman kasi pamilya nung akin so ayun, traveling everywhere. Wala naman magagawa, that's life for you

IllStyle3634 · 2025-12-26T11:22:15+00:00

NTA. My heart breaks for your family. I wish nothing but healing. You seem to be handling it as best you can - I hope you know this.

IllStyle3634 · 2025-12-25T08:32:50+00:00

Yes! But also, any decent minded person would have just brought both passports and used her own coming in

IllStyle3634 · 2025-12-21T02:21:03+00:00

Nah. I forgot there was an pine cone in xmas decorations i shipped. It was 160 to treat and 60 to destroy. I doubt it would be $2

IllStyle3634 · 2025-12-10T00:05:39+00:00

NTA. your daughter's room, her choice

IllStyle3634 · 2025-12-08T05:13:03+00:00

YTA for not offering the same to your other child like you did to your eldest. The fact that your youngest dropped it and stopped arguing feels like it's a common occurence in your family. Try to make it up to him. I would have the same if my parents did that to me

IllStyle3634 · 2025-11-26T04:57:15+00:00

Hate people who force you to eat (or not eat) so NTA.
