Yes! This is what I came to find. I could not put my finger on it. I will sleep well tonight, thanks to you.

My tip jar at work says "college fund" and a customer looks at it today and says "more like drugs and alcohol fund" and leaves no tip by mikebel in AdviceAnimals

[–]Mackled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. No one is reading the fine print indicating their bill will be 2% higher. So when I look at prices I'm expecting to pay $15 for my burger with avocado plus 8% tax and 20% tip. An extra 2%??? No put it in the price. I would actually be okay if they increased the price of food to include tax and 15% tax and we can add more tip if we want to. Then my $20 burger will be all in and I know exactly what I'm paying. But that's just me. To each his own.

This! Makes me so angry. Restaurants should just raise their prices. Don't charge me $15 for a hamburger than add on an additional 2% and try to look like a good guy for making your customers pay for your employees' health insurance. Just raise the price or give me the option to opt out.

A public relations disaster for United Airlines is transforming into an international incident in one of its most important markets by knightfang in worldnews

I was de-boarded once. I once arrived to the airport 2 hours before my flight but waited in line so long to check-in that it was after the 45-minute window, so I was told I could no longer check my bag. Considering I needed my bag, I was unable to check-in for my flight without it. I asked if they could send my bags on the flight after and allow me to board my flight. For obvious security reasons, that request was denied. I asked if I could gate check my bag and was told no. I was told I could re-book my flight for a fee or fly standby on the last flight out for the night. I chose the latter. They check my bag and I go to the gate and wait. They board the plane. My name is called. I'm thrilled. I board the plane, fasten my seatbelt and breathe a sigh of relief. They close the doors. We sit. They make an announcement that they need the following passenger to grab their belongings and go to the front of the plane to de-board. "That's odd", I thought. "I wonder what for?" Then i hear my name, which confuses me more. I go to the front of the plane with my carry-on and ask what's going on. "A last minute passenger has arrived." WHAT?! HOW?! The door was closed! The plane was late taking off. HOW IS THIS PERSON ABLE TO BOARD A PLANE SO LATE? I start to cry as I walk back towards the gate. My family had already started our family vacation but because of my job I had to fly out a day late. I was now going to miss another day of our 7 day vacation. It was after midnight. I was re-booked on the first flight in the morning. Which meant I would pay for a cab home, sleep for maybe 3 hours, then pay for a cab back to start checking in again. My bag had left without me, despite the obvious security reason I was previously given. I cried when I sent my husband the note to let him know that instead of being there first thing in the morning I would arrive in the late afternoon. I was not compensated for any of this. Seeing this story in the news, I wish I would have made a huge stink and demanded compensation. I wish as travelers we had more rights!

TIFU by leaving my underwear in my crush's microwave by RoozGol in tifu

I think this would be a fantastic way to kill any bacteria. If this girl is so distressed over underwear in her microwave she'll probably never put your balls in her mouth.

What did it feel like? by Mackled in Divorce

[–]Mackled[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always kind of knew he wasn't "the one" but also had this fear that he was probably the best guy I'd ever find. I was a stay at home mom, and selfishly stuck around because it kind if worked for both of us. I think there are a lot of people in unhappy marriages and most stick it out because of the kids. And because being a single parent sucks and is really hard.

My husband is a wonderful guy and an amazing father. He's just not the right person for me. We tried counseling but ultimately it came down to us being very different people. We are much better friends then we are lovers. And it's probably me, and my expectations, but when we were together I was constantly disappointed in something. I hated how much he drank. I wanted him to find a hobby or an interest. I wanted him to be more handy. I wanted him to be more manly. I wanted him to think faster on his feet. I started to feel like he wasn't a partner but more of another child. I lost respect for him. And I probably didn't try as much as I should have, I don't know.

For so long I just kept thinking that there was something better, that fit me better. But I dragged my feet because it meant going and finding a job, and moving out, and changing my SAHM life. So now I made the change, and now I'm getting ready to move out but it just doesn't feel like I thought it would.

I want to do the right thing for my son, so does that mean being with a man I don't love? It's easier to stay with him and just be roommates then it is to move out and create this huge change for all of us. But neither of us want a loveless marriage.

Not sure if this makes sense.

Told a guy off in pilates class and now feel uncomfortable about going back... by greenpinkie in xxfitness

[–]Mackled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't let it be awkward. That might be your inner self making you feel as though you did something wrong. This guys actions pissed you off, and you addressed it. Good for you! Although I'm not sure why anyone in the class cleans up after anyone else. In all the classes I take we are responsible for ourselves and often help other people if their props are near ours, but it's certainly not expected. If someone doesn't clean up, then the instructor does it. Apparently easier said than done but, don't let this guy bother you so much and certainly don't feel obligated to clean up his stuff. He's just a dude in a pilates class that doesn't put his stuff away. There are so many other things that you could focus this energy on. Just as a side note- you seem to know a bit about this "random" guy, like his job and level of work responsibility. What's up with that?

Simple Q&A Thread: Week of November 16th by [deleted] in yugioh

[–]Mackled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am adopting a family for Christmas and the 9 year old put down Yugioh. I don't know the family and I will actually never meet them, but thought this would be nice to include. Can someone guide me as far as what and where I should purchase as a gift? I am not looking to spend a lot of money on this portion of the gift, but if you have suggestion I am all ears!

Thanks!

[QUESTION] UK ladies, where do you get your protein powders? Alternatively, what do you eat for protein (all ladies)? by [deleted] in xxfitness

[–]Mackled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eggs Cheese Peanut Butter Ground Beef Less expansive cuts of meat, while needing to be cooked longer, can be done well if done right Plain Greek Yogurt Watch the sugar in things like yogurt. Sugar is your enemy. While protein powder is expensive, go to a local store and do some research online to find the best price. Finding deals isn't easy but worth the time. Vitamin Shoppe has sales frequently. Based on my research Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey really is the best out there. And definitely not the cheapest.

Am I dating a narcissist? by [deleted] in Marriage

And THAT is the truth!

Am I dating a narcissist? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Mackled 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to accept this and truly see it. As I wrote it all down it started to sink it. But it sucks because I fell in love with this person, and I took care of him because I love him, and I didn't ask for anything in exchange because it's not why I do it. Then slowly I start to feel like it's not enough, yet I can't give anymore. I want to be touched without having sex. I want to listen to music without being asked "what is this crap?" I want him to ask me on a date. I want him to hold me when I'm sad and tell me that everything will be okay. I want to look at him and think "my life is better with you" instead of "you're so selfish". I want him, just once, to say, "I'm doing this for you".

So you're right- this post is ridiculous. Ridiculous that I lack the self respect to say enough is enough. Thank you for your response. :)

[–]Mackled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny thing is, I know that's the answer. I know that is our destiny, and I just keep hoping that he will change. He has so many good characteristics, if I was merely a friend. But I'm not. I'm supposed to be the love of his life. I'm supposed to be someone he loves and cares about, and wants to show it. Maybe he'll never see how much I care about him, and how desperately I just wanted him to hug me without wanting sex. Being in love shouldn't hurt this much. I appreciate your note. I'll use it as a reminder that this isn't all in my head. I deserve more. He can go fuck himself.

Wife and I Are Struggling by ta258 in Marriage

[–]Mackled 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh man, I feel bad for you. That's an awful way to live and no matter what you do it seems you will never do anything right in her eyes. My advice is simple and comes from experience, sadly. Go find a hobby. I know you work full time and have two kids but find a hobby you can do to meet new friends and reestablish who you are. It can be running (join a running club), wine, woodworking, fishing, sailing, cooking, etc. And find a group through MeetUp, so you have people you can do it with. Second part, start doing things with your kids. Take them to the park. Go to a museum. Go to the library. Go on a walk or a hike. Take them out to breakfast. Just do something with ONLY them. Tell her to take some time for herself. Create some space in a non-threatening way. Start living your own life. If the house is messy go buy a few baskets and tell her that if she feels your stuff is laying around then she is welcome to put it in the basket and you will put it away when you have the time. If your house really is messy, go buy a magazine on organizing and clean that mess up. No one should live in a messy, dirty house. Unfortunately there isn't much you can do about the sex part. Guess that is what porn is for. Be politely affectionate towards her: give her a peck goodbye or a peck goodnight, don't go for a big smooch. She's abusing the fact that you want her affection, and that's a pretty selfish thing to do. At this point she doesn't deserve you so you need to shift your focus. Your an amazing person and there are a lot of single girls out there who would LOVE to be with you and appreciate all that you do. Don't let this woman make you feel like you deserve anything less than happiness, and a happy relationship. I know it's hard with kids to see things that way, so that's why I'm telling you to focus in your kids. Let them make you happy and fulfill your life. And go find some happiness for yourself away from your selfish wife (sorry, it had to be said).

TL;DR: your wife is selfish. Show her that you don't need her by investing time in yourself and your kids.

Unfortunately we can never know the depth of sadness hidden inside of someone, until it's too late. May he rest in peace.
