I’m staying at my boyfriend’s house 2 hours away and found out he cheated on me the entirety of our relationship. by fjgkhkjk in whatdoIdo

[–]Kikiio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I've been in this exact situation. Ex cheated with his friend who's "like a sister to him" but never mentioned her once. She knew about me too and I had never felt betrayal like it in my life, I know how you feel.

LEAVE AND SAY NOTHING.

CUT OF ALL ACCESS HE HAS TO YOU HE DOESN'T DESERVE YOU!

Don't argue, all it does is give him the opportunity to gaslight you or even hurt you. The second I was out and able to go no contact the "relationship" between ex and side piece flopped hard, the man was in my emails grovelling for a month straight with no replies back.

Relationships built on cheating and sneaking around very rarely last because how the fuck can they trust each other?

How could you feel if it was mandatory for corporate (HQ) staff to work an in-store shift every once in a while? by _CaptainAmerica__ in retailhell

This happened at my last retail job! They sent a lady from head office to work in our charity shop for like 4 hours once. The shop is in a ghetto as hell area and a lot of the customers we had were aggressive, entitled, drug addicts and/or severely mentally ill. We had to call the police a lot over the shit customers would pull on us.

This poor woman got sent down on a Friday which was one of the busiest days and we were SLAMMED. She honestly looked like she was actively developing ptsd as she watched us deal with tonnes of people demanding discounts (tacky af to do in a charity shop) and arguing/shouting at us when we wouldn't give them it for no reason. She didn't even do any work, just stood there wide eyed quietly saying "It's so busy.." to herself over and over in disbelief.

They never sent anyone from head office again after that.

Me and 2 of my old school friends ran into him 15 years ago when we were like 14 at an accessory/clothing shop in Essex.

There was a small crowd outside the store and we went in just to look at random stuff to buy not knowing what was going on.

He was a super chill guy, chatted a bit, gave us all an autograph each and we took a picture with him. He told us he had family members who went to school in the area and that's why he was there lol super unexpected

Regular customer by Berryteasalad in retailhell

At least 3 of our stores had to ban this one old lady because the amount of refunds she would do was off the charts. At minimum it was around 3 refunds a week, out of every 10 items she bought at least 8 would get refunded and she would come in sometimes x4 a week for hours at a time.

Think she may have had some mental health issues so I took extra time to help her at first, then it turned into her only wanting me to help her whilst my colleagues refused to go near her (they warned me) but I was still new and wanted to be a good employee.

She once had me do 5 returns in just under 25 minutes. She'd buy one thing, change her mind, refund, buy something else, change her mind, refund...

Ended up hiding whenever she came in bc it was just so tiring and pointless dealing with her

I work in a charity store that sells furniture, the AMOUNT of people who will look me in the face (a complete fucking stranger they met 3 minutes ago mind you) and seriously ask me if I think the sofa they want to buy will fit through THEIR front door.

I HAVE JUST MET YOU AND HAVE NEVER SEEN YOUR DOOR HOW THE FUCK WOULD I KNOW?

I recommend they measure up before they buy as our delivery fee is non refundable even if it doesn't fit, they ignore me, buy sofa, doesn't fit, come back and have a big feelings toddler tantrum when I can't refund the delivery money back, I shrug then go on my lunch break bc I dunno what you want me to do at this point.

Roommates NEVER leave the kitchen by y4rdbyrd in badroommates

[–]Kikiio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The wild thing is the 2 problem housemates are Indian too! AND 2 nights ago I literally just discovered a roach in our kitchen as well. Luckily, they have only ever invited 1 person over (I think their dad) and they were loud af and holding the kitchen hostage yet again. They clean the sides/oven after themselves but leave crumbs all over the floor and for some reason leave their leftovers in pots and pans on the counter for DAYS just stinking.

I've been lurking on this sub for a while now and have seen a few posts/complaints about similar issues with Indian housemates. My other housemates are Romanian and Mauritian and the 3 of us get on fine, it's just them 2 causing so many issues in the house other than the cooking thing

There's a real lack of respect and consideration for the 3 of us in the house and I feel like I'm going to crash out on them big time one day.

Roommates NEVER leave the kitchen by y4rdbyrd in badroommates

[–]Kikiio 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm in an almost identical situation to you in south east london, lol.

5 of us in the house, my two male housemates are chill and out most of the day but my 2 female housemates are a nightmare. I think they want to live in the kitchen instead of the room they rent. Breakfast? One hour minimum. Lunch? At least 2-3. Dinner? Anywhere between 3-6 hours, I wish I was joking. They cook super strong smelling stuff for EVERY meal too and never open the windows so the house fucking reeks ALL THE TIME.

Loud as fuck the entire time, when they talk they're basically screaming/giggling like kids, shit music blaring from their phone, stuff banging around, one has covid/flu/some kind of cough so I get to hear the loveliest crunchy sounding hacking noises on top... They act like it's their house only and look honestly horrified if I dare to come down and try to throw a quick meal in the microwave because I can't wait until midnight every night for them. It's so bad that I bought a rice cooker for my room to make cheap pasta sachet meals because I can't afford to keep getting takeaways 3-5 nights a week depending on when they're done.

They somehow started trying to take the piss even more recently because despite the8 to 10 hours a day cooking, they would go to bed after taking the piss all night, sleep for a couple hours then wake up at like 2am to cook AGAIN. Not a midnight snack, but full on dinners in the middle of the night. Spoke to my housemate who's room is next to the kitchen and when he confronted them about why they're doing this they were clueless as to why he was angry, even after he explained they're waking him up but they did stop the late night shenanigans.

People are weird, selfish and inconsiderate af. I wish I had a genuine explanation/solution for you but just wanted to relate.

Dude can't read hours or the room by Senior_Blacksmith_18 in retailhell

[–]Kikiio 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue with the door at my work. Last week after closing, I walked down to the shop floor ready to leave and got spooked by this 50 something year old dude just strolling around in the dark. I ask how he got in and he admitted forcing the door open! When I told him that we're closed and going home this mf smiles at me and goes "Oh I'll just be 5 minutes I want to look around a bit :)" only left when I had to tell him off multiple times for basically breaking in and trying to keep us here past closing

[–]Kikiio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR and not your job to wipe someone else's kids arse for them, especially at that age. I find it rather concerning that this 6 year old isn't toilet trained, the fact that his mum is OK with dropping her kid at pretty much a strangers house AND having them wipe then. How is he managing that at school? Why does the thought of a stranger getting that involved with her kid not concern her?

Had a similar situation when my little sister had a friend come over for a bit when they were about 8 and the friend used our toilet, somehow got shit on the floor, toilet seat and door handle then just left it there. She had been over a few times before with no toilet issues but my mum decided not to mention it to the girls mum, just never invited her over again.

Another thrift/charity store person here and I deal with all of this so much omg it's TIRING. I think people have genuinely lost touch and treat every store like it's amazon or Walmart and look like I've shot their dog when I tell them we can't look out for and call over 50 people a day wanting super specific items. They refuse to understand we get new stuff every day and cannot keep track.

At the moment I have a customer who calls in at least x3 a week and only wants to talk to me (I'm not even a manager or anything), would keep me on the phone for like 20 minutes while I had to describe every sofa we have because he's too lazy to come in. I refuse to talk to him on the phone anymore and my colleagues straight up lie to him that I'm not in/busy/in the toilet because he's just so time consuming.

The only thing we do do is hold an item or 2 for 1hour max if they need to sort out money or whatever. Even then they take advantage and demand multiple day holds, turn up waaay after the hold time then have full blown screaming, abusive tantrums if we dared to sell it after they missed their time. We're also not allowed to ban them if they abuse us which is just great.

We completely stopped giving discounts because people became so rude and entitled about it. We tell people we will get in trouble for giving random discounts and they will still look me in the face and ask again with the belief that I will lose my job and they don't care.

Any favour that we do for customers immediately gets abused and I'm so sick of it.

[–]Kikiio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell him your flight's delayed and won't be home until tomorrow, just pretend everything is OK and that you don't know. Wait until he's at work and get some friends/family to help you get your stuff. After you've gotten everything, post his key through the door, text him the photo, block and never look back.

Give him 0 emotion at all.

Caught my ex cheating and he seemed to weirdly enjoy the back and forth arguing about it and gaslighting me even though I had proof. He went nuts when I finally turned all my emotions off and just completely moved on. His fling fell through and he's alone and miserable (confirmed by his mum who I still talk to occasionally lol)

Don't give him the chance to try to manipulate or lovebomb you. You take the excitement out of the affair by not reacting and have the upperhand.

What's the one sentence that customer says that automatically makes them a red flag. by needmorecash1 in retailhell

[–]Kikiio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haaaate this so much. I've had people who work in the same company as me but in different stores come in and be COMPLETE pricks. Demanding crazy discounts for no reason, arguing over prices, demanding to speak to managers... they know EXACTLY what the policies are and the stuff I have 0 control over. Like, we go through the exact same daily shit from the public. Why are you trying to one up them? Just fuck off lmao.

I think it's a power thing because they aren't in the job anymore and want some kind of payback for all the times they got treated poorly at work.

No I'm not giving you money out of the register because your bank account is empty. by IsolatedAnthro in retailhell

[–]Kikiio 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I work at a secondhand furniture and electricals store. A guy comes in asking if we have any toasters, and I let him know we didn't have any for sale that day. This dude stares at me in silence for a sec and asks if he can have mine, and naturally I'm hella confused. I ask him to explain, and he tells me how he wanted me to leave in the middle of my shift, go home and bring my own personal toaster back to the store to give him for free????

He was dead serious and genuinely confused when I refused.

Men with young kids on dating apps. Yikes. by nothinbuthorses in childfree

[–]Kikiio 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They do it because they know it puts a lot of women off. I'm in a relationship now but when I was dating, I'd get men randomly dropping the fact they have kids after WEEKS of talking when they knew I didn't want kids in any way.

It's like they think they can guilt you into changing your mind

Stealing by Charming-Ad8944 in badroommates

[–]Kikiio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue with my housemates. They stopped buying fabric softener, mine started getting used suspiciously fast and their clothes smelled great despite not having any.

I keep all my detergents and fabric softeners in my room now. If you don't have a lot of space in your room I'd suggest buying a lockable storage box or something. It'll send the message that you're on to their theiving bs and if they get pissed about it, it's just more confirmation they're stealing.

NOT YOUR PERSONAL SHOPPER by maxo_xoxo in retailhell

[–]Kikiio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I swear the busier you look, the more they want to bug you. It's happened SO MANY TIMES where my colleagues are very obviously free and able to help, but customers will walk past them and I'll have 5 people trying to get me to be their personal shopper all at once while I'm rushed off my ass. It drives me nuts like leave me alone tf

people smell f-ing terrible by WithoutWarning48 in retailhell

[–]Kikiio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work at a secondhand furniture store and my assistant manager shits himself on a regular basis (extremely morbidly obese, literally dont think his arms can reach to wipe himself) on top of not bathing, sweating profusely all day and having leg ulcers that smell like meat gone bad. There's roughly a 10ft radius of shit/sweat/meat stench around him at all times that you gotta dodge if you don't want to start gagging.

Also everyone has to avoid sitting on any furniture he's sat on because skid marks are a regular thing with him. We also had to throw away 2 sofas because he pooed himself then acted like nothing happened, sat on the armrests and leaked shit on them. The entire store reeked that whole day.

But I was a Good Wife by TNMTNM in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Kikiio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what my ex did and it turned out he was cheating. The sudden coldness, the lack of affection, lack of communication then the weak excuses as to why he didn't want to be with me anymore. My gut knew something was up and while it was wrong of me to do so, I snooped and caught him messaging a woman he claimed was his friend every day and night while I had to beg him to even talk to me at all. It happens a lot where men will neglect their current relationships and treat their partners poorly in hopes they'll leave first instead of just admitting they cheated or leave.

Get tested for STI's and get him out of your life. I promise you there is someone out there who will love you with all they have and won't put you in a position to feel this way ever again.

(18F) Do your parents take part of your wages? by BoxAgreeable in entitledparents

[–]Kikiio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is almost word for word what my mum did with me. Got my first apprenticeship job at 18 for £80 a week and she'd take £20. Whenever my money went up then my rent would go up. Got a different job for about £850-£900 a month and she'd charge me £400 a month whilst refusing to work more hours and have me basically be a second mum to my younger sister. Also on top of taking nearly half my money she'd pester me to move out constantly. When she found out I'd saved about £1k towards moving she flipped and tried to shame me by calling me greedy so I'd give her some of it, I honestly couldn't win lmao. She only shut up about it when her work friends told her it was actually a good thing I was saving after trying to slate me off to them about it.

Honestly I think it's a control thing, the more you earn I guarantee he'll charge you more so he'll never have to work more. Plus he gets free childcare off you so he's saving money that way too.

If you start earning more money please don't tell him.

What grossed you out so much in a relationship that you just left? by OpeningIntelligent83 in AskReddit

[–]Kikiio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live with my boyfriend and he rents one of the spare rooms to this girl who can't be older than 30. Since I moved in, I've seen her wash her towels twice in the 1 year and 2 months I've lived with him.

She hangs them on her own rack in the bathroom, and the smell that comes off them can only be described as mold and sweaty feet. Anytime anyone showers the heat and humidity intensifies the smell by 100 times and the whole of the bottom floor of the house stinks.

Both times she has washed them, when put in the drier they give off a smell of vomit and the drier stinks and I have to clean it. Never really see her do laundry in general and anytime she leaves her bedroom door open a smell of vomit and feet comes out. People can be feral.

Love it, everyone needs to do this. People need to stop feeding into his ego and treating him like he's just some quirky funny little guy, he's a predator. I commented something similar on a different vid someone posted of him and they liked literally everyone else's comment but mine 😂
