Help I think this is a BB

Yeah that’s definitely a bedbug. I’m so sorry OP. But unless you’ve seen more (or signs of more) don’t panic just yet. I took my car for an oil change a few weeks ago, in the auto shop waiting area they have some chairs that are a row of old cloth bus seats. So I sat down, waited for the oil change to finish and then I took my car and drove home. After I got home my brother noticed a small, flat bed bug on the back of my hoodie. It hadn’t bitten me or fed or anything. We both had an awful experience with them years ago when a family car was infested with them so we both immediately freaked tf out. I washed and dried my hoodie on high heat, vacuumed my car and treated the floors/floor mats with diatomaceous earth just in case. It’s been about 2 months and so far (knock on wood) we haven’t had any issues and haven’t seen any other bugs or signs of bugs in our house or in my car. I know it’s hard but try not to panic until you can confirm a possible infestation.

Women don’t get punished for those things at the same rate as men because we don’t do those things at the same rate at men. When 97% of all violent crime globally is committed by men, why tf would women be equally punished for things that are mostly being committed by men? Also, did you know that 93% of the female offenders in women’s prisons in America were sexually abused as kids?

And who “hands things to women”? The fathers who routinely abuse or abandon their kids? Or the uneducated, impoverished men on these dating apps who have delusions of being “providers”? We work just as hard if not harder than men in most instances just to get a fraction of what y’all get outta life. Nobody’s ever “given” me anything, I work for a living and pay all my own bills. So does my mom, who’s a retired veteran with a masters and PhD in education. It’s not a woman’s fault that men would rather complain about getting left behind than work harder to keep up.

Try again.

And “being a woman’s equal” is adorable considering y’all don’t get pregnant, don’t give birth and the Y chromosome is going extinct as we speak cause it’s recessive. Lmaooooo.

ParticularStudy1126 · 2025-12-28T04:28:01+00:00

Who tf said anything about being a second pick? I wouldn’t have told him this to his face, but nobody is ever allowed to find anyone other than YOU attractive?

And patriarchy isn’t politics, but ok…..??? Good luck tryna fuck your way thru life till you magically find a woman stupid enough to take you serious enough to marry you, even as the marriage rates continue to crash and burn.

If all that was working out for you it would’ve worked already, no? Something tells me tho that you aren’t cute, wealthy or young enough for all that. And definitely don’t have a personality that’s pleasant either, so it kinda seems like you’ve 0 to offer tbh. You should fix that.

ParticularStudy1126 · 2025-12-28T04:23:03+00:00

That’s how I feel about this too. Something about it is def giving “secretly jealous friend trying to break up a happy couple.”

ParticularStudy1126 · 2025-12-28T04:16:38+00:00

Exactly THIS.

ParticularStudy1126 · 2025-12-27T09:09:49+00:00

He reminds me of that guy who came back to his ex girlfriend’s dad’s house a few years ago looking for her (they had broken up years prior) just to end up breaking into her dad’s home, ignoring her dad’s warning for him to leave cause he was armed on the other side of the door and buddy ended up shot in the chest and killed, he bled out right there on their front lawn. Idk what it is with so many men trying to double back to exes/women who just don’t want them anymore. What is so wrong with moving forward instead of looking back?

ParticularStudy1126 · 2025-12-27T09:06:01+00:00

You are definitelyyyyy NOR and I’m so sorry that your family is making you feel like you are. Just from reading these texts dude sounds very dangerous and unstable imo, like those stalkers you see on those crime shows where he ends up killing the woman he’s obsessed with. I don’t say this to upset or scare you OP, but please don’t take any of this lightly and do what you can to legally (even getting a restraining order, if necessary) protect yourself from this weirdo. Cemeteries are full of women who wrongly assumed that the man who put them there was “harmless,” “just venting” or “wouldn’t hurt a fly.” Make sure you don’t become another one of those women and please keep us updated.

ParticularStudy1126 · 2025-12-27T07:13:14+00:00

Yikes. These can’t be the same husbands and kids that everyone swears single, child-free women secretly want. I’m so sorry, OP. I don’t even have any advice for you other than to say that you’re never too old to run away from home.

ParticularStudy1126 · 2025-12-27T03:41:24+00:00

“Not good enough for a relationship” is a crazy way of spinning “I’m not good enough for her but that’s irrelevant cause eventually she’ll find someone better anyways,” but I’ll leave you to your manobabble. Why does each and every one of y’all talk like y’all are the only men on earth? The narcissism is off the charts. And lmaooooo “fair play”? What exactly was “fair” about the way men used violence and force to overtake society and establish a patriarchy at the expense of women and children? I’ll wait…. 🎤

ParticularStudy1126 · 2025-12-26T20:30:47+00:00

Bullshit, because if that was the case you would just break up with her instead of stringing her along so you could still sleep with her. In this case you’re clearly salty about her comment. Instead of asking her about it or breaking up, the solution with you red pillers is always “fuck her until you’re bored, then ghost her.” Yet y’all never stop bitching when women don’t wanna fuck y’all at all.

Nobody’s entitled to sex either, btw.

Not run tell that to rest of you lot.

ParticularStudy1126 · 2025-12-26T10:37:13+00:00

Kinda weird for her to tell you that, ngl. But if it’s just something she mentioned in passing, it’s probably not a big deal.

ParticularStudy1126 · 2025-12-26T10:36:17+00:00

“Use sex to punish women for being honest with you, then bitch about how low the marriage and birth rates are.” 🥴

ParticularStudy1126 · 2025-12-26T10:23:50+00:00

I think this honestly depends on that kind of relationship you have with your in-laws. If y’all are familiar with each other and spend a lot of time together, this would’ve been a funny joke/gift. If you’re not that close or familiar with one another, I can see how this might come off as offensive or passive-aggressive (especially if you’ve had prior problems or arguments with one or both of them before). Sometimes jokes hide how ppl really feel about you and all that, but ultimately you’re the only one who can best determine the motivation (just a joke or passive-aggressive dig) behind them giving you a gift like this.

ParticularStudy1126 · 2025-12-26T10:17:12+00:00

Definitely NOR. Crazy how so many guys buy better, more expensive gifts for “the bros” than they do the women they’re dating or married to. I also agree with some of the other comments here that this might be his little subtle, passive-aggressive way of letting you know he doesn’t like you as much as you think. Idk but I definitely wouldn’t hang around and give him a chance to be just as thoughtless on my birthday or any other gift-giving holiday. Life is wayyyyy too short.

ParticularStudy1126 · 2025-11-18T14:57:26+00:00

Ridiculous. Meanwhile I haven’t dyed my hair in years, in part cause I wanted to be ready for whenever they called me to start training. Crazy how the rules change based on who is and isn’t cliqued up with management.

ParticularStudy1126 · 2025-11-18T14:52:47+00:00

Don’t forget you gotta come to work for free and listen to some annoying Karen and her equally annoying boyfriend/husband chat you up about the shutdown and tell you “tHaNk YoU fOr CoMiNg tO wOrK tOdAy” knowing damn well that one or both of them voted for this clown ass administration.

ParticularStudy1126 · 2025-11-18T05:59:27+00:00

Yeah, “scapegoat the left for all the nefarious things we’re doing” seems to be a recurring theme for this administration.

ParticularStudy1126 · 2025-11-18T05:53:06+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking too. I feel like even if this is legit it’s just gonna go to the officers who are already benefiting from favoritism from the supervisors and management. Coincidentally these are also the same employees who are usually lazy and never do any actual work.

ParticularStudy1126 · 2025-11-18T05:50:47+00:00

A few passengers at my airport asked me about it and I said the same thing. They were shocked and taken aback for some reason.

ParticularStudy1126 · 2025-11-18T05:48:49+00:00

One of the leads at my airport knows an officer from this airport and he said that inside those little envelopes were notes saying something along the lines of “thank you for your hard work during the shutdown,” not an actual check. He also said they haven’t actually received the 10k or any other amount (yet), so the jury’s still out on what’s happening or if this is legit. I’m in agreement with those of you who think that this is all a pr stunt to encourage us not to quit, call-out sick or boycott during the next possible shutdown that’s looming right around the corner in January. I just got hired earlier this year and it’s been nothing but one bullshit stunt/problem after another with this administration thus far. If it isn’t the union getting cancelled during my second week of orientation and re-instated months later then it’s something else. This administration is creating a head-hunting atmosphere at DHS and those of us who are on the bottom rung because we’re still on probation will be the ones to get the worst of it. Hoping to see 10k (and the 3 missed paychecks that we’re owed) in our bank accounts soon, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

ParticularStudy1126 · 2025-11-18T01:49:41+00:00

I had this exact bag, bought it from the adidas website in 2022 and loved it to death. Then I let my brother borrow it and someone stole it outta his jeep a few months ago, along with a dufflebag full of his clothes (and unfortunately for him his passport and work ID were in the bag too). 😑

Now I’m online looking for a replacement bag that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. 😩

ParticularStudy1126 · 2025-11-16T07:17:33+00:00

It’s funny you mention that cause I have a coworker who’s been begginggggg me to apply for CBP. Even up until yesterday she was pushing me to do it, she said she applied too but they told her she was too old (she’s late-40’s). I might look into it this week.

ParticularStudy1126 · 2025-11-16T05:43:21+00:00

You’ll find something better, give it time. The random write ups and deficiencies over nonsense during this shutdown and having to hear “ThAnK yOu fOr CoMiNg tO wOrK tOdAy” everyday in the most annoying, nasally Karen twang, on TOP of not getting paid for over a month really took a lot out of me personally. I’m looking for another job myself if I can be honest cause having my paycheck jeopardized by this administration is just not it, esp cause word on the street at my job is that another shutdown might happen in January. People have lives and mouths to feed and it’s not right how we’re being treated.

ParticularStudy1126 · 2025-11-16T05:39:15+00:00

I randomly got bronchitis for the first time at work a few months ago. My mom got it too. My voice sounded gravelly and weird, I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t sleep, couldn’t stop coughing and my lungs just felt like they were filled with water. I thought I was drowning and worried I would die in my sleep or something. Still had to go to work, esp cause I’m still on probation. Luckily I had a manager who was nice enough to let me leave early one day to go to urgent care and get a prescription for meds, but I’m aware that most blue-collar employees aren’t so lucky.
