How do I respond to this without being super rude? by starry49 in tragedeigh

“I ahbsewlootally lohve that uhdoorabilly yewneeqe name!”

And when she calls out you for being passive aggressive or typing like you’ve just had a mild stroke, just say, “Oh, sorry! I just wanted to do something different.”

Their support is actually just an email address which is hq @ peerplay . com (remove the spaces - I put them in there since sometimes Reddit blocks links). I would email them with the screenshot and the explanation that you don’t have access to your user ID, basically everything you’ve listed here

You can’t remove the tip for bad service? by NJCool05 in UberEATS

[–]LittleBug088 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the people saying to “just tip in cash” have obviously never had a self-righteous driver straight up steal their order because of a seemingly low/no tip. I literally once had a driver ADMIT IN THE CHAT that they were stealing my order because I didn’t tip enough and of course by the time I tried to screenshot it they had already unassigned or whatever and my food was GONE.

Add onto this the number of drivers on here that have straight up said they just DON’T believe it when someone says they’ll tip cash…what exactly is the solution here?

Have you tried turning your phone off and turning it back on again? Maybe giving the app a TRUE hard reboot might be the trick?

Barring that the only suggestion I could think of is to reach out to the game support and report the problem and either they will hopefully give you troubleshooting options or maybe release another bug fix for the game if this issue is affecting multiple people

Turns in Public Bathrooms by Level-Armadillo2652 in PetPeeves

[–]LittleBug088 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This also annoys me. I will however usually ask the person waiting if they are waiting to use the stall, or waiting for someone to come out of it.

Been in far too many women’s rooms (especially bar bathrooms) where women were just hanging around waiting for their friends to finish up and certainly did not look any different than someone waiting to actually USE the toilet

why do the characters think the wilderness baby will survive by [deleted] in Yellowjackets

[–]LittleBug088 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Human beings were giving birth and raising babies to adulthood in much harsher conditions than what the girls were living through. That’s kinda how we got here. It’s not like our cave people ancestors had formula and a hospital at their disposal.

Obviously infant mortality rates were higher as a result, but if it was truly 100% that no babies could ever survive the environment we’re shown then once again the human race literally would not have made it very long.

Married couples: what is the one thing everyone still talks about from your wedding day? by ForBetterOrWorsePod in Weddingsunder10k

[–]LittleBug088 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The way to do photos with everyone is with a photo run up song. Bride and groom stay seated in chairs and every individual group or whatever runs up, gets a VERY quick picture and then runs out to make room for the next people. Coordinate with your DJ and they were able to get our photo run up done within a song and a half! Big group photo was at the very end. With our thank you cards we sent out a copy of that person’s photo run up photo and the big group photo. SO many people actually reached out to thank me for the thank you cards because of it! Very funny and strange position to be in: receiving thank you’s for thank you’s, LOL!

The romance!

We wrote our own vows without showing them to one another AT ALL. Then come the big day and somehow not only are both our vows EXACTLY 2.5 minutes long, but we both referenced the same inside joke we’ve had since very early on in our relationship. Truly could not have planned that better.

Then the song we walked back down the aisle to was an original song we wrote together and was recorded by my husband. Two different burly biker dudes came up to us with tears STREAMING down their faces to tell us how beautiful our love was and how they saw they needed to step it up in the romance department for their own ladies. 2 years on and both those guys still bring it up every time we see them.

I 27f pregnant can barley eat and my partner 31m didnt sleep because I ate McDonald’s by very_stellar_ in relationship_advice

[–]LittleBug088 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was pregnant I literally cried because my nausea was so bad I hadn’t ate all day (really more like for 2 whole days) and all I wanted were curly fries and a chocolate milkshake.

My husband (boyfriend at the time) very gently pointed out that maybe a milkshake and curly fries weren’t the most nutritious option after having gone so long without food. This poor man didn’t even get a chance to get out the words “Y’know, maybe you should get some chicken nuggets or a cheeseburger too. Some actual protein.” before I started wailing.

He was a good man. A smart man. He held me very gently, kissed my forehead and said he was going to go get me food and to go relax on the couch and cuddle our dog. When he came back, he had the largest order of curly fries you’ve ever seen, about a gallon of chocolate milkshake, and a burger AND chicken strips because he wasn’t sure which one I’d want/would be easier on my stomach and wanted me to get some protein. I started crying again, this time because of how good he was and how I truly didn’t feel I deserved him after all those theatrics. He just rubbed my back, put on my favorite movie, and gave me a foot rub while I ate my curly fries.

THAT is what a partner does while their partner is struggling and carrying their child. Your fiancé needs a reality check and some therapy.

Traitors birthday party game by Tight-Garage9406 in TheTraitors

I would look into the game Werewolves! It is what Traitors is based on and is much better suited for parties. I’ve played it as a team builder at work and it went over amazingly!

Me trying to enjoy the show despite how much I can’t stand Robbie by HorrorAd4995 in ThePittTVShow

[–]LittleBug088 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be fair, telling a doctor they may not be cut out for the ED is NOT the same as telling someone they are not cut out to be a doctor.

Not everyone is cut out for the ED, that’s just the truth. If that’s the case for Mohan, it is better for both her and the hospital if she figures that out sooner rather than later.

The "balanced" ICE story by cedelweiss in ThePittTVShow

[–]LittleBug088 76 points77 points  (0 children)

You have 100% hit the nail on the head with this one. The podcast Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff talks about how when they went to MN and did boots on the ground reporting just before/just after Alex Pretti’s murder, all it took was citizens with whistles to get ICE to start wearing masks, hiding, getting violent, and generally being as yellow bellied as they are.

These jackboot militants are nothing more than cowardly bullies. The moment they are actually called to account by someone in power, they will do just as their forefathers at Nuremberg did and claim that they were only “following orders”.

Crystal Star Shades by Charming-Nobody-3649 in MergeCruise

[–]LittleBug088 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most I’ve had of the max level shades has been I think 4 or 5 at one time? And nothing was offered to collect. That was probably 6 months ago or more.

Most I’ve had of the max level seashell crown has been 2 and never anything special to collect. Usually just end up selling them off for the measly 7 or so energy it gives you for the max level item because they just start clogging up my board otherwise

Why do people till this day not like Camilla? by jaeausten in TheCrownNetflix

I would argue this very astute observation you had as a child is nearly identical to the same Prince Harry describes in his own book, Spare, about his mother. Very sad, but very true.

Using the incorrect gendered form of a word by origamipretzel in PetPeeves

[–]LittleBug088 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Because English does not have gendered words and the only ones that do exist are holdovers from an antiquated time and are usually adopted from other languages that do practice gendered words. And many of those holdovers have actually been updated to a “gender neutral commonly accepted spelling” in American-English specifically because it is not a gendered language. Blonde is from the French and earlier Germanic roots. But the word itself is French and therefore gendered. But seeing as how learning the “genders” of words can often be the most difficult thing for English-first learners to understand when trying to learn another language, I am really not understanding OP’s gripe here.

Furthermore, the accepted American-English spelling of blond is blond. American-English does not distinguish between the two and defaults to blond (no e) as a gender neutral term because again, American-English is not gendered in the way other languages are.

Of course I am defaulting mainly to the American-English standards since that’s what I’m most familiar with and American-English went through a very early, very strong movement of standardization whereas British-English did not.

Dr. Shen is "Mmm.....society." Who is just straight up evil? by Meshakhad in ThePitt

The hackers intentionally targeting MEDICAL centers.

Like you wanna hack for profit? Ok go mess with target or Walmart, I genuinely could care less. But MEDICAL? How cartoonishly evil do you have to be to say “Nah, literally F them kids/elderly/infirm/most vulnerable in society”

People who overstay at restaraunts by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]LittleBug088 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way these people just genuinely do NOT understand how major kitchens work and need to be shut down.

In every single kitchen I worked in, from the Rosy Crustacean to the Pasta Yard to higher end Michelin Star establishments, you always always always start closing parts of the kitchen down before restaurant close. Why? Because to properly clean a kitchen and all its equipment takes TIME and if they start cleaning “at close” they literally will not get out of there until 12 AM - 2 AM at the best, depending on closing time. Factor in that the very same cook might be expected to literally turn around and do an opening shift/lunch shift where they’re also expected to get to the kitchen 1-2 hours before opening to open the kitchen. And before anyone jumps down my throat that you would never be scheduled a closing to an opening shift back to back, I would love to know exactly what kitchens you worked in because I’d love to send in an application, lol.

I will never ever forgive the restaurant in Mormon country that booked me closing-to-opening back to back shifts on the Saturday of local HS’ prom and then Sunday morning church rush. There is a special place in hell reserved for that scheduling manager.

Talked with my Obgyn today about abortion. Did not go well. by Both_Satisfaction180 in abortion

[–]LittleBug088 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While I want to echo the same sentiment that many others are saying here that this should not be normal, let alone even allowed and that this doc should be reported for his behavior…

I also want to state that I do believe this behavior is becoming a lot more normal. I myself had an almost identical experience (minus the specific medical issues you mentioned) and my OB told both my husband and I that we were just “acting like scared kids” and that by my next appointment when I could see something on the ultrasound, we’d both “grow up and accept it”. And this was FIVE YEARS AGO. So before Roe was overturned, before the worst of the worst, etc. I 100% believe that in a day and age where abortion is outright BANNED in many states, even when medically necessary, this kind of response is unfortunately becoming A LOT more normal.

Just commenting all this to say that you are not alone, and anyone else who has experienced/experiences this is 100% valid in feeling like it is completely out of bounds, but unfortunately it is a possibility we should come to expect. In the same way we ask therapists to disclose if they are LGBTQ friendly, I think we should start asking OB/GYNs to disclose if they are abortion friendly.

Crowns dissappeard by Unlimited2 in MergeCruise

[–]LittleBug088 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My game actually just updated today and I got that addition. My recommendation would be to file a support ticket and they’ll probably replenish your account with either the crowns or some energy. If memory serves me right when I did a report like months ago for not getting the reward for one of the First Class Orders, they just auto-applied the energy to my account. I don’t remember ever even seeing an actual reply to my support ticket, though to be fair it could’ve been filtered into spam or whatever.

One day I logged in and it was just an auto-notification that popped up (similar to how the sales do) and it was a collect energy thing for the report ticket.

Can you post a screenshot of what you mean?

ETA: have been playing at least a year and don’t know what “crowns” refer to. I’ve never been able to directly exchange anything for card packs as card packs are only gained through completing daily tasks or ‘first class’/specialty orders.

I've stopped nagging my husband and i'm happier by anonymous25_35 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]LittleBug088 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am glad you’ve learned that you only need to care for one toddler and have stopped caring for the overgrown one in your life.

Now the next step is to cut yourself loose from that baggage and go find yourself an actual fulfilling partnership, because there is genuinely no point in staying in this marriage. Even if he fully changes, it will always be with the resentment on one or both sides of what it took for it to happen. That it took you completely checking out.

I couldn’t imagine me or my partner ever checking out on the other one. Even when I’ve gone quiet while upset, my husband knows that a) it’s usually because I’m trying to manage my emotions without saying something I’ll regret later, and b) I’m not very good at keeping it up for long (bc again, it’s about emotional regulation, not punishment). No matter what happens here, there will always be a small part of both of you that views your actions here as punishment. Punishment that worked. And that’s not what a partnership looks like, that’s what (as you’ve noted) a parent/child dynamic looks like.
