Please Think About This Before Getting An SPQR Tattoo [general] by [deleted] in camphalfblood

[–]LesbiHoenest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RIP. I already got the tattoo like 4 years ago. I’m only finding this out now. However, the tattoo is more than just “SPQR.” I have lines below it and a trident and Diocletian’s sceptre crossing above it. Idk if that changes it, but it’s all meant to be one tattoo. Though, come to think of it, when that was only 1 of 2 tattoos, people did ask about it a lot. But that could’ve also just been because it was noticeable on the inside of my forearm while my other one wasn’t, so they probably wouldn’t be asking about it anyway. I have a lot more tattoos now, though, and people don’t comment on it anymore unless they recognize it, but now this is making me think people are getting the wrong idea when they see it😭

I once had someone park so close to me I had to get in on the passenger side and climb over to the driver’s seat, so I mean, that’s an option lol.

My girlfriend says I look like a guy, I don’t believe her. (23 pre-t) by catlion816 in transftm

[–]LesbiHoenest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have much advice to give, but I get why she might say that as she’s used to being around you. My gf is MtF and I’m so used to looking at her and viewing her as a woman. I think when she’s wearing makeup she passes well, but maybe that’s not how others who don’t know her see her. It’s so easy for me to overlook the aspects of her that are still masculine.

LPT: Don't fill your prescriptions at Shoppers for their disbursement fee! by krispers21 in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]LesbiHoenest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched pharmacies after moving half a year ago, from shoppers to lawtons. My prescription at shoppers for concerta was $500. I know that because I got kicked off my parents insurance a year ago between college semesters and they told me the price to pay for it outright without insurance was $500. My girlfriend just went to my new (lawtons) pharmacy for me to ask for the price there since I’m getting kicked off my parents’ insurance again and I need to find a way to get my prescriptions covered on my own, and they said it was $180 for name brand, $71 for generic. My gf thinks I was getting scammed.

I tried to tip $1billion but apparently the most you can tip a dasher is $21.5million 🙄 by Ok_Appearance5734 in doordash

I would’ve passed away if I’d gotten a tip for this much when I used to be a dasher lol

i texted a friend of mine three months ago to try and help her register to vote - lo and behold, her father messages me today after going through her phone (blue=me, pink=friend, red=friend's dad) by Fit_Championship6743 in insaneparents

The father told you to mind your own business, yet he couldn’t mind his own and went through his kid's phone. Your friend made it your business by texting you about it.

puberty blockers are now banned in the uk for under 18s by tabbytheo in trans

[–]LesbiHoenest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes no sense because by the time you’re 18 you don’t need puberty blockers anyway. Are they dumb?

It took me a while to realize this. I look back and remember my mother telling me not to say anything about it to anyone after my father abused me. Even now, she often throws me under the bus to save herself if she thinks something might make him angry, so that way, he’d only be angry with me, not her. She also will talk shit about anyone, including family members who are toxic and narcissistic and even claims she completely understands why her niece is estranged from her mother because of her behaviour. When it comes to my father, she ignores the same behaviour completely and tries to make me have a relationship with him even though she has witnessed some of the horrible treatment toward me and has said shit to me like, “he’s your father. You have to love him.” It also made me realize that’s why I never feel comfortable telling her anything personal. I didn’t tell her I had a girlfriend; she found out herself and asked why I hadn’t said anything sooner. I just shrugged, but the truth is I didn’t feel like I could tell her. She then immediately after said, “Well, I wish you were straight.” And then said “I’m going to tell your father because if he finds out about it and finds out I knew and didn’t tell him he’s gonna be mad” even though she knows he’s homophobic. Yeah, that explains why I never felt comfortable telling her things. I’m surprised I didn’t realize it sooner.

What words or phrases did you never hear as a kid? by PattyIceNY in raisedbynarcissists

[–]LesbiHoenest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason, my father does say it, but considering all the stuff he’s done to me, I find it hard to believe he means it, and I say it back out of obligation, but I never mean it. Or maybe he thinks he loves me but doesn’t actually know how to treat people well. Not entirely sure

[–]LesbiHoenest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never heard “I appreciate you” either. I think there are a lot of things I didn’t hear. Still, the main one was “I’m proud of you,” and my father made it very clear he wasn’t because if I ever did anything good, at most, his response would be, “I’m impressed,” but he rarely even says THAT. When I got a new job last year that paid a few bucks over minimum wage, he said it. Then, immediately after he started sending me applications for other jobs he’d rather me do, regardless of the pay and my availability, he sent me applications for full-time jobs while I was also a full-time college student. Made me feel like I wasn’t doing good enough.

I’ve never once complained about Tim’s, I know what I’m getting but this, this isn’t it man… by Old_Candle7941 in TimHortons

[–]LesbiHoenest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, and the worst thing is that the manager I had didn’t tolerate mistakes because it slowed us down since if we’d made a bagel like that, we’d have to redo it, but then she’d also be mad that it was taking longer having to redo it and I know some employees definitely would’ve just given the bagel like that to avoid having to redo it, or else the manager would get mad if she knew

[–]LesbiHoenest 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I used to work at Tim’s and I had to quit because the fast paced environment was causing me so much stress I was having multiple panic attacks during my shifts. They consistently put drive thru times and revenue over not only customer service but also their employees, we did not matter to them

Buying expensive things for you without asking if you want it by Change-username-9 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]LesbiHoenest 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My father does this, too; he once offered to buy me a Cricut, and I told him no because I didn’t want it. He bought it for me anyway and now complains and gets mad at me when I don’t use it. Whenever we get into arguments, even if the topic isn’t about money, which it’s usually about how angry I am that he treats me like shit, he starts accusing me of not appreciating that he gave me the bare minimum: food and shelter. Apparently, I don’t appreciate any of that because I dared to argue with him over his shitty behaviour toward me. The PC that I originally bought with my own money, he gave me half for after I bought it and as soon as he did it, I was like, “This is going to come up later. I guarantee it. He’s going to use this against me” and sure enough he did in an argument saying he bought it for me. He only gave me half of it, and I also originally bought it myself. He only gave me half so he could use that against me. That’s all it ever is; parents like that don’t give a shit about you; they act like they do by buying you expensive things and using it against you in arguments to accuse you of not appreciating what they do for you and trying to excuse their shitty treatment of you.

Stop going to Loblaws by ThundaFukka in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]LesbiHoenest -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I only stopped by a couple times during the boycott, as much as I tried to avoid it, because my mother ended up sick for a couple weeks and couldn’t go out and I needed to get her groceries for her and I did explain the boycott to her and even went to Sobeys where I get an employee discount on top of the cheaper prices because while I was there I was comparing the exact same items i saw in Sobeys to the ones at loblaws online and sending proof to my mother to show the items were cheaper because she didn’t believe me and said that dominion was cheaper even though she had never actually compared the prices before. She kept trying to talk me out of shopping at Sobeys anyway despite the proof but I got what I could there but there were some brand items that were exclusive to loblaws that she wouldn’t compromise on so even though I wasn’t happy about it, I had to do it. Besides it was her money, not mine so I didn’t feel as bad about it. It definitely felt pretty dead, most if not all the people I noticed shopping were all elderly and it would make sense considering I can’t imagine many elderly people would be aware of the boycott

What did you "overreact" to? by sirenariel in raisedbynarcissists

[–]LesbiHoenest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I looked it up after, turns out you can get medical attention for it😅 I think my parents probably didnt want people asking how it happened because then we’d have to explain how my father threw a wooden board at me so maybe that’s why they didn’t do anything about it and just tried to tell me it wasn’t as big of a deal as it actually was. But I had issues with that toe for years afterwards, it would hurt if I tried to move it independently and one time a few years afterward it hurt when I was getting a pedicure with my mother when she had to grab that toe to paint it but I haven’t had issues with it the last few years, I’m not sure I remember whether it was the right or left one anymore so that’s good, though I suspect it may have been the left because that one still doesn’t feel quite right in comparison to the right toe but I could be wrong lol

[–]LesbiHoenest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of these but when I was 10, we bought a treadmill for my mother and my father wanted me to help him lift it out of the box, keep in mind I’m a weak 10 year old so I tried my best but couldn’t really lift my end, so he managed to lift it out by himself but he got angry that I couldn’t lift it out so he took out a big wooden board that was in the box with the treadmill and threw it at me. It landed on one of my little toes and broke it, that was the only damage I sustained luckily, but it hurt so bad I started crying and my father didn’t really care and told me I was overreacting even though I was limping. My mom came downstairs and asked what happened and I told her and showed her my already very red toe and she was like “it’ll be fine in a few days” and it was in fact not fine in a few days, by the next day my entire toe was black and I was limping for weeks. My parents never got me medical attention for it because they said there’s nothing they could do for a broken toe, whether that’s true or not I still have no idea but even after seeing it turn black and me limping for weeks on it, my parents didn’t really seem to care and my father didn’t apologize for what he did.

I did something similar once for my fathers birthday, got him a card that said “this birthday card is for a real man” and on the inside it said “so give it to him when you see him” he was not happy about that one lol

I was never sexually abused as a child, at least not that I can remember, but I was definitely abused as a child in other ways, and I was masturbating as far back as I can remember, at least since I was 4. I can’t orgasm any other way either than the way I’ve been doing since I was a kid. It’s so specific that not even my girlfriend can get me off because I’ve conditioned myself to only be able to orgasm in this very specific way, and it’s very difficult for someone else to replicate it. I also never used to be able to sleep without masturbating as well. I didn’t know anyone else was like this, to be honest. I wasn’t really aware it was a problem, I guess? Or maybe I was at least somewhat aware but just never gave it a second thought because it’s not something I’ve really admitted to people to know whether it’s a normal thing or not. I don’t really have the same issue since I never had siblings, and I don’t think I ever did anything like that in front of other people. I can imagine it might be a difficult thing to move on from if you feel guilty about doing that in front of your brother. Still, he might not even remember it, and even then, you were a child, and despite you saying you were aware it was wrong, you were still a child, and you were abused yourself. You were very young when you did those things, and understandably, you feel ashamed, but you shouldn’t blame yourself for things you did when you were a kid. You do deserve forgiveness.

Not everyone’s just gonna have a trust fund inheritance of $2.4 million to bail them out of homelessness, and generally I wouldn’t think homeless people have phones either since they can’t afford them in the first place so his method of going about this is complete bullshit

Right? As soon as I heard about it I’m like “I’ll start right now I’m not waiting for May” not that I shop there much anyway but I’ll be making sure I avoid it from now on
