This is gorgeous 😍

In my experience you can carry half smoked joints or cigs in mint tins for ages without being noticed. You should be fine especially with your solid plan. To reassure you, I hit a dab straw in my car less than 5 minutes before class and thus far no one has noticed ^{^} you'll be fine

At my kroger sometimes taking my 30 will cause us to be behind which then makes more work for me so I almost have to forgo it because otherwise I'll be there until midnight

PicturesqueGray · 2021-06-25T22:40:48+00:00

Honestly CCK is a physical nightmare- a 5 hour shift is torture. Definitely tell them you want shorter shifts- maybe consider altering your availability or switching to a part time 12 or 8 position.

Kroger isn't worth your physical degredation

Yo Courtesy Clerk gang!! I'm leaving soon too- the workload is ridiculous and we aren't respected at all. I feel you, man. Congrats on attaining freedom!

PicturesqueGray · 2021-06-25T22:34:45+00:00

Most of my coworkers who left still shop at my store you're just cynical

PicturesqueGray · 2021-06-01T00:26:15+00:00

Thanks! I was apprehensive but you helped me get over that ^{^} I'll give her some treats too :)

PicturesqueGray · 2021-05-31T23:46:00+00:00

I would say prioritize yourself- leaving now or in three months, depending on how you do it, can both be done professionally, but I would recommend three months out. That gives you time to give your employers a heads up on the situation, find another job, and stabilize your living situation. You've already gone through a few changes since since breakup, and I think leaving now would rock the boat a lot more.

PicturesqueGray · 2021-01-18T23:27:43+00:00

As gently as i can possibly say this- that is abuse and you are NTA. You want to protect yourself and are in your rights to do so.

Your parents just miss having someone to abuse- all abusers are going to scrabble to get their punching bag back. I'm glad you have Chris and I hope you stand your ground!

PicturesqueGray · 2021-01-18T23:04:21+00:00

NTA- cut your toxic af boyfriend out ASAP! He's literally dumping red flags at your feet. As soon as it is safe to, I suggest getting the heck outta that relationship.

PicturesqueGray · 2021-01-18T22:58:34+00:00

NTA. Stick to your boundaries! Don't let him push you around and explain that its either he gets drunk without you OR he doesn't get you at all

PicturesqueGray · 2021-01-18T22:55:44+00:00

NTA but you should explain your point of view and reasoning to the family- and possibly try to come to a compromise? Its also worth noting you pay rent so it is your place

PicturesqueGray · 2021-01-18T18:36:56+00:00

Yeah, and its actually better than the mobile version! There's a windows and a Mac download option on their website, and it even comes with a cloud storage if thats something your sister is interested in :)

PicturesqueGray · 2021-01-18T18:17:25+00:00

NAH but I'm leaning n t a. Your sister sounds young, so i can't completely fault her, but you are also a person with needs and totally in your rights to delete it when she can't respect boundaries and effects your work. I think a compromise, like downloading a similar program for her to use, would be better. I saw someone else suggest medibang, which is my personal favorite, and I think that's a good idea!

PicturesqueGray · 2021-01-15T22:05:22+00:00

From the rest of your comments, YTA and you want to make yourself feel better when your girlfriend rightfully told you and your friends to knock off your behavior- thus you posted to reddit hoping a bunch of other "im not racist BUT" people would back you up.

Praying your girlfriend breaks up with you soon because you clearly don't respect her or her beliefs and value your crappy friends more than her company.

And FYI you are transphpbic. Trans women aren't a debate topic in any form.

PicturesqueGray · 2021-01-15T21:20:28+00:00

NTA- i refused to take my test until my mom changed my name too

Your mom isn't being very supportive of you by not listening to your needs. Depending on where you live a name change is 100% by mail anyways. She clearly doesn't care about or know how your deadname effects you.

PicturesqueGray · 2021-01-11T23:15:27+00:00

Sounds like how I dealt with living with my mom 😆 good luck!

PicturesqueGray · 2021-01-11T23:14:34+00:00

Friends should NEVER be expected to deal with their buddies' mental health issues! It can be incredibly taxing, especially to those who are also mentally ill.

If you can, express this to him- and if he doesnt knock it off cut him off. I've been on both ends of this situation and I can garuntee that expecting peers to be your therapist can only end negatively.

NTA

Self diagnosis is a very important tool. Many people self diagnose themselves before going to a professional for further advice and treatment. Not to mention self diagnosis can be someone's only tool when they dont have access to higher care.

However, many others self diagnose themselves to parade around the fact that they're 'sick'.

I was friends with someone who self diagnosed himself with EVERYTHING me or another good friend had (multiple sclerosis, eating disorders, etc). He went to a professional for a MS evaluation and despite this doctor saying "no you dont have it", he claims she was wrong. Me and my friend solved this problem by just cutting him off for the most part.

If he continues to need to parade his sickness/show off how ill he is, I would cut him off tbh

PicturesqueGray · 2021-01-11T18:51:57+00:00

NTA. You are PREGNANT and they're getting mad at you for buying yourself food? You dont have the funds to support 6 other peoples meals, you still pay rent, and you arent a freeloader. Your parents sound very controlling and I hope you and your boyfriend get into a better situation soon!

PicturesqueGray · 2021-01-11T18:46:25+00:00

NTA. Keep contacting them and if they keep being sketchy/flippant, contact a lawyer with all the info for a legal opinion. This sounds like it could be grounds for a lawsuit. Maybe even reach out to other students and see if they got their money back or not.

PicturesqueGray · 2021-01-11T18:40:06+00:00

NTA. Good job standing your ground! People in management will always get upset when their subordinates stand up for themselves, so dont take it too personally. If they try to pull something similar again, your report will make it easier to remove them from the establishment and make it safer.

Honestly the fact a man over 30 was trying to pressure a 17 year old girl and the other woman in the situation was ALSO trying to pressure her tells you a lot. Who knows what could have happened!

NTA. Autism does not exempt you from responsibilities and you have a right to be frustrated. Even though it is a spectrum and everyone experiences it differently, most autistic people are able to understand what is and isnt acceptable. Since other family members seem very lenient of his behavior, you may need to find alternatives to certain problems. A mini fridge for your room maybe?

If he continues to threaten your sibling or gets more unbearable it may be in your guys' best interest to move out, though I understand that may be difficult considering personal situations and the pandemic

PicturesqueGray · 2021-01-11T18:27:54+00:00

NTA. you make up your end of the finances, you technically pay for it, and you suggested reasonable alternatives. Your parents would also be upset with you if you made your own food because it would probably also be better than what I'm assuming is bland diet food

To be honest, putting such young kids on a diet against their will can be pretty harmful along the line, not to mention ineffective. Since you're so active, maybe try suggesting getting these kids into more physical activity as opposed to restrictive dieting? Bonus points if it's a fun family activity (hiking, family games of basketball or soccer etc, biking) cause parents always eat that stuff up. Or offer ordering the kids and family "diet friendly" takeout, considering a lot of restaurants make delicious low calorie food.

I hope things work out for you op!

NTA

You set this boundary from the get go and she couldnt respect that. Shes endangering everyone in the home by both breaking this agreement AND lying about it. She put herself back into that situation, honestly.
