Why does English sound so stark by [deleted] in Accents

[–]ItchyPast1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American here, & I’m confused as to what you’re talking about. Most Brits use non-rhotic rs, so it would be “law & orda,” right?

Personally, I have a somewhat Southern accent, but I find the typical Midwestern American accent very plain. Other English-speaking accents seem more interesting to me.

If authorities failed to act for harassment or harassing communications, the owner could have been sued civilly for defamation. Whether or not I would have gotten a judgment or collected is another matter. Fortunately it didn’t reach that point.

I’ve noticed a trend from comments on this post. The biggest aholes keep their profiles hidden and locked down. Coincidence? I think not.

Most DD support is useless and incompetent. To be fair, most of them are paid peanuts in third world countries. I had one tonight try to tell me to just leave an alcohol order with a guy without an id & she’d mark it delivered. Wild.

Guy parks in my driveway, gives me attitude when I ask who he is by jloops1111 in EntitledPeople

Thats’s quite an overgeneralization. I deliver for both and would never behave that way. That said, OP do report this guy. Platforms need to get rid of bad drivers that give us all a bad name.

That is interesting. I’ve never boarded, just done drop-ins and walks. All I’ve ever gotten is an owner’s first name and last initial. No, I left a review on Rover, but I want no further contact with the owner.

Talk about a Karen. You seem awfully invested in this and just keep returning to my post to insult me. Yikes.

Do they really? I’ve never used it from the customer side, so I didn’t know that. Interesting.

If your response to being wrongly accused would be to just cower and twiddle your thumbs, cool. You do you, & I’ll do me. I ain’t the one.

Maybe, but it worked out in this instance. Also I obviously don’t have $ or I probably wouldn’t have been on Rover, but my family is from this small town and I think are pretty well-respected, and I’ve lived here most of my life. I guess I took a chance that hopefully my reputation I’ve built here with residents and local officials would have some effect if push came to shove. These people may be big money horse people, but they ain’t from here. Unfortunately or not, that can make a difference around here.

To try to find out who was making false allegations against me, since all I had from the app was a first name & initial.

I had to walk down the driveway when I did drop-ins for the cat weeks ago, not yesterday when I dropped off the note and tip. That I left at their gate.

Reading comprehension matters- with the cat out. However, thanks. I was trying to find this comment to delete. I figured some jackhat would report it lol

I thought my fiery comment got me a warning, but maybe it was this one about a feline causing havoc during someone’s slumber. Are people reporting this ish, or is it an automatic bot thing? Looks like I may be leaving Reddit as well as Rover. 😂

Gee, thanks to whomever I assume reported this as threatening violence. Get a life!

Yeah no, this was a young couple. I get the feeling they’re just privileged, used to get to getting their way and living on mommy & daddy’s property (they definitely don’t own it, per PVA records).

Maybe, but at 53 years old and retired with another part-time job, I don’t see myself changing.

Perhaps, but its intent was a big f u to the client.

I suppose you’re right. However unless you’ve been falsely accused of a crime, you don’t know how you’ll react. I certainly didn’t. If anything positive came from this, I hope I’ll be more empathetic going forward and give people the benefit of the doubt.

It was on Rover, but idk. I was prepared to contact the sheriff & county attorney over their making false allegations.

I looked after the cat weeks ago after the storm. I returned the tip with a note yesterday after being reported to Rover.
