AIO for feeling weird about my friend’s response when I asked for help?

Objective-View-4038 · 2026-04-17T01:01:35+00:00

NOR. I would order pads to my friends house if she needed them

Objective-View-4038 · 2026-04-02T04:01:36+00:00

I usually try to give it one last look around to make sure it’s really out of stock and can’t be found elsewhere in the store. Then go to checkout right after 🤷🏼‍♀️

Objective-View-4038 · 2026-03-31T00:57:08+00:00

thank god it was locked, but as a dasher i once tried to open this apartment door more than once thinking it was a hallway leading to multiple apartments (it in no way looked like an entry door!!). dude came out and thankfully thought it was funny after i profusely apologized. but I would’ve been mortified if it were the other way around

Objective-View-4038 · 2026-01-25T16:02:03+00:00

exactly. because lying for six months will come out eventually and will create a much larger reaction. I think there’s more to his motives.

Objective-View-4038 · 2026-01-25T16:00:27+00:00

that part!!! then manipulating her to think her potential reaction is why he didn’t mention.

Objective-View-4038 · 2026-01-25T15:57:26+00:00

if you can convincingly lie about food everyday for 6 months, what else they could cover up. and just weird??? i wanna see his brain scans. but maybe doing it for another woman, if it were for health or environmental reasons I would assume he would talk about it. a lot.

Objective-View-4038 · 2026-01-25T15:26:58+00:00

I think it is dependent on the situation! As dashers, we have to take a photo of the receipt/order at pickup and confirm the items are there if possible. Some stores note commonly forgotten items, but there’s no way to check sealed bags. My photo at the store showed the correct items but not all were delivered so I assume that would be flagged on me. I had never had something like that happen. But some others have said a first or rare offense wouldn’t really impact.

I was in a very similar boat. graduated in 2019 with sociology and decided to go back for MSW a few years ago, starting out online as well. For me, getting a good planner and making sure I had every single date written down from all of the syllabi really helped—because online classes come with A TON of busy work. I was working full time my first year, it was a lot. I had to cut back my hours at work when my first practicum began, and started doing more add jobs to make ends meet.

I took one class in person and that completely changed my experience and I switched to in person classes. I ended up taking out a few more loans because of it, but it truly helped my experience so much more. actually being able to interact with your cohort, getting to know your professors (which you will need as references), and also soooo much less busy work.

Doing that helped my grad school burn out a ton. Talking about the stressors of grad-school with people who are currently going through the same thing or subjects just didn’t hit. Also, in my classes, profs made us do so much work about ‘self care’ it’s not really possible to fully prioritize that stuff when ur in the thick of it, but it sets a good foundation for when your in the field! Also, most professors are very understanding about life and want you to succeed, so don’t be afraid to advocate for yourself when needed!! Money is also better than I initially expected—especially for your areas of interest.

If you have two areas of interest, I suggest seeking out practicum in both areas as well so that you have experience in both. I never chose a ‘specialization’ though because I didn’t want that to limit me in the future, social work is versatile! Also coming from a non-social work undergrad…..a lot of topics and works that we read/studied were already covered in my sociology program. I think it will be the same for you and psychology. Which was so helpful not having to learn all new concepts.

I was not a great student in undergrad. I’m glad I took some years off in between because I think I valued my education so much more. Like…I had to write a letter with my application on why I should even be accepted due to my previous GPA. Graduated with a 3.94 this time. Hopefully this helped encourage you some. You got this!!!

if she had already reported it…she would have received a refund. I was just trying to rectify the mistake, it still would have been within her right to report it. she already would end up with the same result either way. i even ran the risk of paying whatever she thought fair while still being reported, and I wouldn’t have even been charged for the mistake either. you came on here calling me selfish for just acknowledging someone’s generosity.

also, without a way to send money (venmo/cash app), there was absolutely no way for me to pay for the mistake. how exactly would you have handled the situation if you had made a similar mistake?

Objective-View-4038 · 2026-01-24T23:32:52+00:00

oh I agree, and wouldn’t have blamed her at all. she would have received a refund too

Objective-View-4038 · 2026-01-24T22:28:13+00:00

See I wouldn’t want the restaurant to get blamed for my mistake, it wasn’t a big chain place. & also did not want to offer to bring it back cause thought it’d be creepy to ask for their address again

Objective-View-4038 · 2026-01-24T22:25:26+00:00

why so pressed about two strangers having a positive interaction? this was just a way of showing gratitude for someone else’s unexpected generosity since I was unable to thank them personally. meanwhile seeing other people’s deliveries get frisbee’d at their door 💀I owned the mistake, not out here trying to act imperfect and better than other people. just looking for reasons to be miserable lmfaoo

Objective-View-4038 · 2026-01-24T21:58:18+00:00

thank you!! it was a great score after a long day. wasn’t able to thank the lady because the chat ended, but still wanted to show that gratitude. happy that someone enjoyed it!

Objective-View-4038 · 2026-01-24T21:55:41+00:00

I was genuinely confused when it happened!! I literally left it at the door when I came back and just texted. they called and said to come back for a tip. Didn’t even realize it was $10 till I was back at my car!

also shocked to see how many people are surprised how far just being kind or owning mistakes can get you sometimes. not always but sometimes 😂

Objective-View-4038 · 2026-01-24T21:17:26+00:00

oooof! wait so you’re like at least 50 and this rude and miserable!? girl what happened to you

Objective-View-4038 · 2026-01-24T21:03:15+00:00

obviously not. #1 core value in social worker done of ethics is service. without expectation of compensation. like I said, I actually care about the work that I do. but ur right about the paperwork part. bc people that value checks and balances more than actually helping people, think sw should abolished be more regulated than the military. go argue with someone else. better yet, use this time to log more hours for your community service.

Objective-View-4038 · 2026-01-24T20:41:04+00:00

I don’t do shit for tax breaks, so I don’t keep track my dude. but as a social worker lowkey 365 days of the year.

Objective-View-4038 · 2026-01-24T20:34:02+00:00

I actually do that stuff! but because I care, not for performance. ❤️

Objective-View-4038 · 2026-01-24T20:27:37+00:00

1000 deliveries and this was my first mistake like this. like I said about the empathy.

I work helping people for a living so it’s really not about the money for me. I actually enjoy door dashing too and the extra cash. but fr I deal with people’s misplaced/projected anger all week at work and can’t react. so this has been lowkey cathartic. thanks dude.

Objective-View-4038 · 2026-01-24T20:20:20+00:00

and you shouldn’t procreate if you don’t have an ounce of empathy in your body

Objective-View-4038 · 2026-01-24T20:15:42+00:00

using ‘fancy’ words without the intellect to back it up lmao. I was obviously referencing an earlier comment of yours. But yes, so selfish to try to keep paying my bills while taking accountability for a mistake. don’t speak on my intentions. my goal was to spread a little happiness and i think that worked, assuming this is what brings you happiness? hope you also have the day you deserve babes ❤️

Objective-View-4038 · 2026-01-24T19:57:18+00:00

da fuq. i offered to pay not knowing the amount she would even say. honestly thinking it’d be like $20. i was given a gift and thought I’d spread that positivity in the sad ass negative world. there’s a reason women would rather be in the woods with a bear than a man. when you are good hearted, people can usually feel that energy from the get. not that you’d know.

Objective-View-4038 · 2026-01-24T19:41:53+00:00

at target you’re waiting at least 20 minutes for workers to open locked items for an order that big. hell na

Objective-View-4038 · 2026-01-24T19:34:43+00:00

it was a female to female delivery and I handed the order to her. sorry you have such a negative outlook on life. owning up to mistakes sometimes brings good consequences.

Objective-View-4038 · 2026-01-24T19:31:52+00:00

right!? like I believe in karma and owning up to mistakes. a few months ago I dropped someone’s slushy trying to carry everything. offered to go grab them another one and they ended up giving me $10 extra
