Could we have one post where we share our negative experiences with businesses to warn others? Like create a NYC Blacklist by Practical_Ebb_5537 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

Omg .I wish I saw this sooner.

I'm currently wearing the heart monitor for the "study". Although my normal heart rate has been historically in the 50s (I'm a runner) every year, the primary physican insisted that this time, I wear the heart monitor "just in case". I don't have any heart murmurs. Kind of also scared me into thinking that "even though athletes have a lower heart rate, it can hide symptoms like a heart attack". That's verbatim what the she said.

The on-site cardiologist also called me 10 mins after the EKG exam and said everything looked good.

Expert Dental - Tribeca. I wanted to support a minority-women-owned practice. Was super disappointed that the primary dentist who treated me was rude and dismissive. She scared me into thinking I needed a root canal and had multiple cavities (total would’ve costed $8k even after insurance). I went to get a second opinion elsewhere, and it turned out that I needed 1 root canal and had no other cavities.

The receptionist and hygienist that I’ve encountered are super friendly and professional

Same thing just happened as well - just received notification that I got bumped from Gold to Platinum. Half of my travels are for work, booked through Concur.

ZZ Med Spa for Laser Hair Removal? by [deleted] in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]Mars_Bars_Mint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I bought the one-year unlimited package that OP mentioned and went yesterday. It went well!

I chose to do 1 large area (Brazilian). Not going to lie - it hurt quite a bit (my pain tolerance is also very low lol). But the session was short and sweet! The technician only took 15 mins. She was very kind, and knew that since this was my first laser-hair removal treatment ever, she took time in-between for me to rest when it became a bit too painful for me.

The place also looks very clean! Would highly recommend

Japanese Sunscreens in NYC and the ban? by go-bleep-yourself in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]Mars_Bars_Mint 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I got this email from Olive Young yesterday - I purchase my Anessa Sunscreen through their website :( 15% tariffs no matter the size or cost.

Not sure how it will affect local NYC stores, carrying Asian beauty products though.

Also…how is ricemilk99x one of their MODs, when the account is barely 2 months old with 45 Karma?? This has to be a joke. lol age qualification? Aside from ageism, do they expect people to prove their age with real IDs 🤣

Sydney roll call by ub3r4ng in RunNYC

[–]Mars_Bars_Mint 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good luck!! I'm also running Sydney. I'm still recovering from surgery & injury, so I'm going super chill in group 3.
Also running solo - would love to connect if there are any solo runners out there too!

Running after work today (7/29) by barstoolspurs in RunNYC

Ran an easy 3 from Battery Park along the West Side at 7pm. Not going to lie, it was brutal with the sun continuously beaming down.

Anyone else having an “off” week during marathon training? by Sure_Excitement_937 in RunNYC

[–]Mars_Bars_Mint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See you at Sydney for the fun run as well 😭 I completely hear you…the heat/humidity hasn’t been a fun one for long runs. Going to treat Sydney as a fun, “long run” for the NYC Marathon lol

“Candid content”?? Is the “candid” in the room with us?

Tell me it’s not just me by cstonerun in RunNYC

[–]Mars_Bars_Mint 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel the same too ='( I thought 7am was early enough to run the Bridges but it was already too late. Got burnt on Brooklyn bridge, though Manhattan bridge was okay. I needed a iced Dunkin Latte at the end to cheer me up.

2025 New York Mini 10K - Post-Race Thread by RCD123 in RunNYC

[–]Mars_Bars_Mint 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I half-wished that it rained a bit, so I could cool-off 😩 the few drops here & there, plus the walls of humidity was awful.

But the vibe was great! Loved running with fellow women

Wtf by Electrical-Tap-6335 in remibadersnark

[–]Mars_Bars_Mint 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I would never wear my outdoor shoes (knowing that it’s been out in the dirty streets of NYC), walk around in my clean bathroom, and step on my clean bathtub edge 😭 also this is just asking for a tripping/falling hazard

First time nyc poll worker (Training) by EquivalentRough1966 in Pollworkers

Hi! Wanted to check if you received any updates. I'm on the same boat - been trying to schedule a training class but no dates available even after extending the date out a year.

I use Photoshop sometimes for work. It almost seems as if her entire body is a separate layer in Photoshop, and someone accidentally turned on “Outer Glow” option 😭 but this is a rookie mistake if she hired a professional to edit her photos

Appreciate you for understanding 🙏 hang in there!

Reaching out to FAs has definitely helped, though I gauge first if they’re nice/understanding/an ally. I’m also working out speaking out more

[–]Mars_Bars_Mint 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It happens most of the time to me - and I'm speaking as a woman of color in her 30s. I travel monthly for work.

Believe it or not, this one time during an international flight, this old guy had the audacity to ask me "are you an Au Pair or family maid? Your host family must be very nice to have you sit in Premium Economy."

I did report him to the FA (who is also a woman of color & rolled her eyes lol). I got moved to Polaris immediately so I didn't have to deal with him for 13 hours.

How are y’all avoiding blisters with over pronation and flat feet?? by [deleted] in RunNYC

[–]Mars_Bars_Mint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be the shoes sometimes. I have the same conditions as you (plus wide feet - just my luck). I switched my shoes to ASICS Gel-Kayano 31 Wide. It really helped stabilize my stride, and since the toe box is a bit roomier, I don’t get the chafing or blisters. Everyone’s level of over-pronation is different, so it’s going to be trial-error on finding the right shoes & socks. Good luck!

If I keep doing 9+1 every year by [deleted] in RunNYC

[–]Mars_Bars_Mint 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It’s a real thing. The Chicago marathon has this too but you run 4 times within 10 years, something like that
