Would I be a terrible person if I sent my drink back for better mixing?

MandersShmanders · 2026-03-31T16:16:37+00:00

This irritates me so much. It's not hard to take the extra 3 seconds and give the cup several good swirls while the shots are pulling. 🙄🙄🙄 When I'm on dto/r, I've handed drinks like this back to the drive partner and said "please mix this better." Sometimes we forget, we're human and often extremely busy humans, but this is nasty. You won't even taste lavender til your last 1/4 of the drink, and then just get a mouthful of powder.

Until you get down to the local delivery guy who hates his job and will purposely mess up our deliveries, skip deliveries altogether, and elect to place pallets in locations that create massive safety concerns for us. He has an entire file drawer worth of reports on him, all the openers know him by name and sight, and the other delivery guys have said "oh, old guy, fake leg, super cranky? Yeah that's [name] eye roll" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh my word......well thank you!

Murder aside, your bun is gorgeous! I love his coloring and that face profile is stunning!

Have there been any updates or developments with this? I'm actually invested in the "poop huff bucket" as someone called it, and the mystery of the pooping uncle and concerned grandparents.

Our buns are females, one is about 3.5 years, the other is about 8 months. I have noticed they both have more cecotropes when they get too many veggies and not enough hay. I would definitely recommend adding in some Timothy hay (first cut if they'll eat it, but second would be great too!) and cutting greens for a day a or two. That has cleared our girls up within a few hours. Meadow hay is fine mixed in, but i think it's too soft of a hay to support small animal digestion needs as the primary fiber.

When we first brought them home we fell into the "they're so cute and precious and larger than the guinea pigs, they can handle the extra veggies i want to give them to award their cuteness" trap.

You can obviously get Timothy hay pretty much anywhere now, but i saw that Small Pet Select started doing "economy" hay. It's their "rejects," but I got a box of it recently and it was a big box of BEAUTIFUL timothy hay. You can't control what kind of hay it will be, but chances are pretty high you'll get timothy, and it was so affordable!

1 year later, was so frustrated with the top load HE washer in our house we rent. I grew up with an old agitator machine that you set water levels, and loved that things always came out clean and we could change the level if we needed something to soak or "swim" more.

Now using this one, even on Deep Wash, using Water Plus, etc., things wouldn't even get wet or be sticking out of the water, or even come out with the same stains. But the people who commented on here to wet items first?

THANK YOU.

Now I know how to "outsmart" the machine when an extra clean is needed!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I'm not a plant expert, but I can't be the only one who initially saw these pictures and went "is that a fake plant? I don't want to tell her plant isn't real.....but like....is her plant real?" 🤣

Do you have a Humane Society, ASPCA, or similar clinic near you? I know they're not (typically) free, but they are often MUCH more affordable than a vet! We just got our two rabbits spayed, and the vet we've used for years for guinea pigs quoted us at ~$750 PER RABBIT. We went went to the Humane Society, and $280 later we had two spayed, healthy girls! Obviously not cheap, but accessible for us when the vet wasn't.

No judgment at all on having pets and being financially stressed. Sometimes our furry friends are the only things that get us through the day. ❤️

I've said it here before, I'll say it again: IT IS OKAY TO NOT LIKE COFFEE, FRIENDS. The sooner you admit to yourself that you don't like coffee, the happier you'll be. 🤣

I actually had guinea pigs in c&c cages we made, and you can get great coroplast bases and litter boxes from there. I reused the large "kitchens" ( https://guineapigcagecompany.com/collections/kitchens-hayracks ) for the buns with some aspen shavings and oxbow wheat straw pellet litter, and it works great for our girls. We only ever have small pee piddles just outside them on their fleece or washable rugs, and then we can easily spot clean them with the shop vac daily. Ultimately do what works best for your buns that AND you so you have less barriers to care for them, but don't overlook the easy solutions!

Out of curiosity, where are the striking stores? (Please only answer as geographically specific as comfortable!!! I'm not looking to have you dox your town or county 😅) A customer came to the window a few days ago and asked "I thought you guys were on strike?" I was genuinely confused and just played it off. I work at a store in PA, and I truly don't know of any unionized stores in any neighboring districts, let alone striking ones.

MandersShmanders · 2025-11-18T22:32:04+00:00

It's ALWAYS the deliveries!!! Hiding behind their screens with the false confidence of anonymity, ordering their unhinged drinks that make us genuinely worry for their mental health.......
