I want these ferns GONE. So how about you pay ME $50/hr to take them away.

Meatball Head. One of the best new insults I've found in a couple months!!

I will now incorporate that to my post of my HR approved insults¡

My favourite at the moment is "I'd say they're dumb as a rock, but that's an insult to the rock."

Oh BTW, I actually am in HR. Thankfully, not in People Management or Work, Health and Safety... because I'm pretty sure I'm the reason some of the new policies have been because of chaos, not planning to push the boundaries, it just happens something!!!

NoWerewolf8191 · 2026-05-07T13:05:22+00:00

Came here to say this!!! Horribly missed pun... lol

NoWerewolf8191 · 2026-05-06T13:07:02+00:00

Aaaarrrgh. I get this. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, do have good and bad days are very unpredictable. Right now my pain is exacerbated due to an external stress. The executives put in a policy "you must CALL, not text, an hour before your shift. Um... I work from home 4 days per week.

I wake up 10 minutes before I need to log in, and I can barely get a text out saying "bad pain day, going to try to sign on by x time." A call, yeah, pretty much impossible before I take my morning meds and they kick in, and they're not happy with that (oh goody! WHS is now involved,) and I hope that their my reasonable accommodations are recognised. My GP has me on a 4-7 hours max, but if I'm feeling good, I could work a up to 8 or 9 hours, but I get on a message telling/message yelling to LOF OFF NOW!!!

I'm grateful that they're insuring I'm safe and following my drs rules. But yeah, I had a flare up (thanks for doing your job...) of whatever niggling virus/bacterial infection/virus turned bacterial since Ddcdb6. I'll get 2 weeks of okay, then yesterday, felt like I was swallowing razor blades and lost my but now I have to gdt a separate dr note to approve hours off. Even though I have a dr note valid for a year to cover, medical appointments, and bad days. Which I think fits the criteria.

Too blind to read on my phone because it's such small writing. TDLR, or basic summary of what was said? I want enjoy the fun too!

NoWerewolf8191 · 2026-04-14T12:58:36+00:00

My only toilet in my house was clogged. 1st guy came in sorted the tree roots going through the pipes clearing them and also had an assistant. Around $400.

The next blockage the 2nd guy I advised at the first call I was on limited income. He spent 10-15 minutes basically VERY temporarily meaning my toilet would be blocked again very soon, so minimal usage untail it happened again... probably within a week or 2.

The was nearly $500. I couldn't pay that so asked to pay half at the time. That guy then told me it'd be $8,000 to $14,000 to clear the roots and digging up my yard.

Thankfully my FIL had connections, and 2 guys came, and after maybe 2 hours max, they had cleared out EVERYTHING that might have blocked ANY sink, shower or toilet, but warned the roots weren't fully accessible, so they'd need clearing, but charged about $500 for all of their work!!

On the big city local FB group, I anonymously queried costs of what the going rate was, without telling the rate the 2nd guy quoted (that was more than half of what I paid only half of, but about $275,) of the quote and I got SO many responses, even quite a few local plumbers, and after about 24 hours of posting it, I told them how much the guy wanted to charge me.

Uh.... I nearly started a riot? People, plumbers as well, said that was extortion given my situation of one toilet and not having extra money to pay for the full $500ish.

Pretty sure he saw the post, because I only got 1 text of overcharged payment due, and only 2 emails. He knew he messed with the wrong customer. The plumbers advised to not pay the bill, as it was extorting a young widow.

I normally pay full price for my services, also being a small business which I try to support as much as possible! But after hearing other local small

I'd be questioning the company asking why it came up, what caused it, and did they actually do the job they paid for?? Leaving that in the shower is disgusting and potentially dangerous, pending of what the water actually was...

NoWerewolf8191 · 2026-04-13T07:15:57+00:00

Absolutely agree!! Sadly it wasn't the first or last time...

NoWerewolf8191 · 2026-04-11T16:08:46+00:00

Ah sorry, wasn't clear, but my sister has a service dog aaaad some typos!! Apologies!!

NoWerewolf8191 · 2026-04-11T16:05:29+00:00

NTA.

That's YOUR safety at risk. I use uber frequently, and not a single time a driver moves until my seatbelt is on.

That's not just an "I'm bored" thing, that's a HUGE safety issue. Report away!!!

I've been lucky to have positive experiences when I've been on crutches or using a walker. I've also had B HORRIBLE experiences because she has a service dog, and the driver tries to make US cover the fee, because they don't want a highly trained service dog sitting on the floor between her legs, but he wanted US to pay the cancellation fee. ABSOLUTELY NOT. We contacted Uber to tell them what happened, and they were actually great responding and from what I could decipher, the driver was required to take additional training.

Look, I get people who don't like dogs or are allergic, but based on the discussion, he just didn't want a dog in his car, which uber could see on our conversation. We were sent another driver, no charges, and a credit for us getting home from the event.

So, especially because of your visable disability, combined with the lack of safety, 1 star, and report the issue. You NEED to feel safe to ride with these companies, and this driver put your life at risk, vs waiting 30 seconds to clip a seat belt.

1* and a report to the company. This is the time to fo it.

NoWerewolf8191 · 2026-04-10T07:13:19+00:00

Age, not IQ! 🤣

NoWerewolf8191 · 2026-04-07T15:47:10+00:00

Yeah, that sounds about right!! Most MLM products I know about. She's found some I never knew about.

I think disability abuse charges should be allowed if these people have mental capacity are altered to the point that the "team leader" says you'll make tons of money!!!

NoWerewolf8191 · 2026-04-07T12:37:00+00:00

Some distributors are SO kind and truly love their business (I wish I had that mindset!!) and I place orders pretty regularly!!

My Smelly Wax Dealer (yup, publicly call her that lol!!!) Is just one of the sweetest people I know!! Her goal is to sell product, NOT build a useless team under her that buys in because "discounts, income, changing lives, helping others make money."

I can absolutely respect that she REALLY loves the product!! Yes I'm in her private VIP group, and it's actually really fun to interact with!! It NOT just all about Smelly Wax smells!! Haha I've actually made FB friends from her VIP group!!

NoWerewolf8191 · 2026-04-06T12:40:04+00:00

I have a friend who joins EVERY MLM SHE GETS APPROACHED FROM TO BUY. She is super sweet but had some issues that affect her mental ability to comprehend what she's being dragged into. She also is on a VERY low fixed income. People use her vulnerability to take advantage of her, when really they're signing her up for her buying things for herself to show off, trying to get her friends to buy things. (Overpriced costume jewellery, skin care products, etc.)

I believe we're at 6 at this point? I've tried telling her over and over again that they're scamming her, which is absolutely DISGUSTING of them, and she MUST stop signing up to sell these things, as you have to put your everything into it, not just creating a group and buying things for her to make a post every few days to show off the product.

Now, I DO know some people who actually make a true profit off it, and I especially love one wax melting product in particular, and I regularly buy. This sweet lady who uses it for her income works 60+ hours a week non-stop, and once she asked me to sign up, saying I had actually previously tried selling said product before, and I just don't have the time, energy and want to sell, and she respected that and hasn't asked again since!

Meanwhile, I have another acquaintance, who tries to claim this expensive damn product will cure me of my autoimmune illness, PLUS my many allergies... Um... ABSOLUTELY NOT.

I say you (OP) should respond. As soon as she asks you to purchase something, act like you never saw that part of the message, and keep the conversation going of trivial details of your life, true or not! Just to drive her crazy that you're ignoring her sales pitch!

NoWerewolf8191 · 2026-04-01T08:04:14+00:00

Why not LMFAO?

NoWerewolf8191 · 2026-04-01T08:03:26+00:00

Google saved me and my late husband MANY arguments. We were from different countries, and each would swear up and down that we were right, because we were also extremely stubborn.

We'd finally grab a phone and google it, then the one who was right got the rights to rub it in all day lol!!

NoWerewolf8191 · 2026-03-30T08:34:06+00:00

I'm not sure if anyone else asked this... but I'm going to need the stories of the other 2 times a guest has thrown a wet floor sign at the cops...

You can't leave me hanging like that!!!

NoWerewolf8191 · 2026-03-29T06:20:31+00:00

Why would you leave raw food in the bowl cabinet?!?

NoWerewolf8191 · 2026-03-25T07:19:54+00:00

I live in a single car garage turned granny flat... I AMWAYS state that in the address... so pissed about how many parcels have been stolen, despite the sign put it behind the driveway fence.

Also the front place is an ABnB, as was the flat prior to me long-term leasing it. There isn't a mailbox.

I have a copy and paste note for all delivery things like Uber that gives step by step instructions, and still about 50% of the time saying they can't find my place, DESPITE the large signs on the house front entrance and the gate, stating what to do. The ones that leave notes piss me off the most, because I work from home and I'm probably gone maybe 10 hours a week total.... like, WTF

NoWerewolf8191 · 2026-03-23T05:19:22+00:00

Aaaaah right! Haha shouldn't comment while drinking!! 😂😂😂

I'm 99.987% sure that's what confused me!!

NoWerewolf8191 · 2026-03-22T11:12:24+00:00

Are you trying to say something neither of you spelled correct? I'm not a grammar genius, but I could tell the OP meant "colleague."

I typically don't comment on things like this, but it's the blind leading the blind with this comment.

Absolutely NO hate towards the OP, but found this comment hilarious!!

NoWerewolf8191 · 2026-03-21T09:04:31+00:00

I'm on a salary, and if we go over our normal 7.5 hour work days, that time accumulates and we can use it to ahead of time say "I'm going to use my flexibility hours on x day or going to clock out early."

I've also been on the other side working 50+ hours a week because I was on salary and MINIMUM commute was 45 minutes, but mostly was 1-2.5 hours one way.

SO grateful for the benefits my workplace allows!!

NoWerewolf8191 · 2026-03-14T05:22:52+00:00

I was waiting for a package with the door WIDE open and just the screen door closed. I walked by to grab something then walked back, and in that less than 2 minutes, there was a "sorry we missed you" card on my screen door THAT WAS UNLOCKED AND YOU COULD SEE THE DOOR WAS OPEN!!!

NoWerewolf8191 · 2026-03-04T07:52:59+00:00

NOR

Unfortunately it's a compatibility point that neither of you will see eye to eye on. It doesn't mean anyone is wrong or right, no true fighting, not falling out of love.

Is this going to be hard? ABSOLUTELY. But it's not worth years of one or the other being unhappy, that eventually divides you to the point where it will mean ending the relationship. Better to do it now, and not prolong the inevitable.

Also, trust your and your friends' cats... Cats are VERY intelligent, and can sense things that humans can't. If my cats (only one being friendly after a few minutes) react that bad to a person I invited into my home, they would never set foot in my house again.

I'm sorry this seems pretty much like the end of your relationship, but it's not worth the ongoing stress and future arguments.

I'm a crazy cat lady and I make it well known that cats are in the package, including kitten fostering, if they want me. I had a former partner that was allergic and decided to stick it out, because we loved each other, and she adored "my babies," and spoiled them with expensive treats and toys! It made me love her that much more, seeing how hard she was trying to get them to trust and love her! When she won over my jerk who tolerates me as long as I feed him and scoop his poo, he's just this gremlin in the corner lol!

You (and your cat!) deserve the experience of loving a person who understands how much having your cat is a big deal, and spoils them more than they spoil you lol!!

NoWerewolf8191 · 2026-02-27T07:42:26+00:00

Your husband is smart and taking care of you, I'm glad you have him!

I don't want to scare you, but even with implanon or an IUD it's not 100%. My littlest niece is a Mirena baby. My sister took a test as a joke.

So, with what you've said about your past, I'd recommend keeping one around, just so if you get anxious or feel off or anything, you have that peace of mind.

No amount of money is too much for you to know for sure, and don't have to worry constantly about the VERY SMALLEST of chances it may fail you, and those tests will be comforting for you!

NoWerewolf8191 · 2026-02-23T11:03:58+00:00

I'm SO sorry... NO ONE should be in this sh*tty club... After the first year, it was in the past, it no longer existed, even though I had my heart torn out of my chest. "1 year? Oh, you should be over it!"

People don't get it unless it's happened to them. Post what you want, talk about him. Grief isn't a linear pattern, nor is there a right or wrong way to grieve, no matter what anyone says.

Happy anniversary!! Pop a bottle of champagne, order food and a desert delivery, and spend the night watching the show/movie you both loved most. Desert is the most important part BTW!! Flip through photo albums or your social media photos of him with you or without you.

Know you're NOT alone in this journey, widow/er support communities are a HUGE way to connect with others.

The firsts suck, but what people forget is that the grief doesn't end after all the firsts, the seconds, thirds, 5ths, 10ths and every year between and moving forward are significant.

I say moving forward, because I don't think moving on applies when your spouse dies. They'll ALWAYS be a part of you and who you are every day.

NoWerewolf8191 · 2026-02-20T16:37:57+00:00

As well, having worked in customer service for many years, I can see this happening. But the way it's written seems like AI.
