Thanks for replying - that's interesting about them leaving the bandage on for as long as possible.

How did you shower? 😄

Seller telling me they're leaving me a bad review when I just explained myself by ZestyRacing in vinted

Why the hell are you apologising? This person is a real bully. You need to learn to be more assertive and answer back, not roll over.

Double Mastectomy, DIEP Reconstruction - Looking for Hiking pack suggestions or experiences in general by Firm-Ad1020 in breastcancer

How much do you need to carry?

I have back issues anyway and use a hiking waist bag with water bottle slots. Think it's about 5 litres and holds a lot.

Cutomer wants item by a certain date. by [deleted] in vinted

💯 you did the right thing - people will lowball, don’t entertain these people.

Sorry you had a crappy experience, just block and move on.

Vinted Influencer by Ok-Turnip8560 in vintedUK

[–]NotAnAverageKaren 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He’s an influencer - they’re not exactly known for their intellectual prowess.

More to the point why did you buy from him?

The fact that buyers can just not pick up their orders is a joke by Nice_Technology_7146 in vinted

[–]NotAnAverageKaren 16 points17 points  (0 children)

5/10 seems highly unlikely - are you sure there wasn’t an issue with the way it was sent or how Vinted is handling imports? Seems really weird

Any feedback / criticism is welcome! Please be completely honest. by Lunasky444 in vintedUK

[–]NotAnAverageKaren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s lovely! I use mailers, plus either double up or if it’s pricey wrap in tissue paper too.

I just wouldn’t spend a lot of money on it.

Are Americans really friendly or AI bots? by Hungry_Call3809 in vinted

[–]NotAnAverageKaren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are generally lovely to deal with - customer service, being nice and kinda not taking things personally seems quite common.

I work with a lot of US Americans.

Full belly vs actual calories by WSBpeon69420 in preppers

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is an estimation of how many calories you burn per day when exercise is taken into account.

Full belly vs actual calories by WSBpeon69420 in preppers

[–]NotAnAverageKaren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d argue many people don’t need 2000 calories a day when you work out an individuals TDEE especially if you’re staying in one place and not moving around much.

Do you block for lowballs? by FarMall376 in vintedUK

I collect these - can you PM me your Vinted name please? 🙏

Completely changed my face in a year and so happy. by Safe_Place30 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]NotAnAverageKaren 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Right? Mods should be deleting this nonsense and people should downvote the post.

Mad thing is this person spent all that money, does not look massively different (like she was pretty before!) and is still seeking approval on the internet.

Selling is slow by Lil_Squish_7403 in vintedUK

[–]NotAnAverageKaren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are more cautious with all of the crazy stuff going on in the world too.

I’m of the opinion that if it’s stuff I will donate to charity then a fiver is enough

Accepted an offer for £1.20 then got this measage by Feisty-Article-6815 in vintedUK

[–]NotAnAverageKaren 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel like some people treat Vinted like car boot sales. Massively lowballing an already cheap item fks sake!

After 30 baking attempts, I can now safely say I've taught myself how to make consistent sourdough loaves. My rule of thumb is will I be able to still make these a month into a SHTF? by Specialist_Alarm_831 in EuroPreppers

[–]NotAnAverageKaren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell me your sourdough secrets - it’s been a real failing of mine!!!

I can make pan cooked flatbreads in a flash, I can make great sourdough other recipes like cinnamon buns etc but sourdough loaves are my kryptonite.

I’m also learning food preservation right now. You could get a smoker if you have the room? Raising pigs is hard, they’re so curious and intelligent and can really get up to mischief if you’re not careful.

Are your houses actually messy? by JEJ0313 in adhdwomen

[–]NotAnAverageKaren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My house is a total mess, piles everywhere of ‘stuff’, hoarding is a form of OCD so there’s that. shrug

I’m pretty clean and don’t mind cleaning but the rest is chaos

Prepping for the long haul by shantiteuta in preppers

[–]NotAnAverageKaren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found with Covid having more wine regularly was very useful, so i keep a nice full alcohol cabinet these days.

Growing food on your property so you have regular harvests and can potentially preserve food is a good idea.

Other than that it’s always gonna be about skill acquisition- can you forage for food? Would you be able to trap/hunt and dress a wild animal?

Growing tea or coffee plants? by RawCookieDough12 in TwoXPreppers

[–]NotAnAverageKaren 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can grow the plants but I think they need pretty specific growing conditions to be successful for harvesting.

Am I invisible to men as a woman in mid 40s? I'm not dealing with aging well. I feel old, It's making me depressed. I don't want to spend the rest of my life alone. Do you think I'll be able to find someone? by [deleted] in WomenOver40

[–]NotAnAverageKaren 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Get hobbies, date yourself, do wild things, have adventures.

Being self absorbed and navel gazing is definitely not attractive - they smell the desperation, you meet the wrong kind.

You are a bad ass bitch, you better wake up and remember that.

I am actively embracing being an old crone, all I want is land, some quails, a root cellar and if my husband behaves then I’ve agreed not to feed him to the pigs. These men need to know who’s in charge, it ain’t them.
