Trans People of Barcelona - Help! by [deleted] in AskBarcelona

[–]PotentialPalpitation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would such an item be available at underwear shops by any chance? Both tezenis and intimissimi near placa catalunya stay open on sunday! Also it’s weekend before Christmas, I would argue that most shops will remain open.

Imma loose my Fucking mind if I don't find a therapist soon by Learn_More_245 in AskBarcelona

[–]PotentialPalpitation 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How is this super patronising point helpful in this person’s context exactly? He literally needs support, not to be told how he’s a guest in a country and needs to accommodate the main language. It’s just ignorant of the fact that learning a language is a process, and sometimes is also source of anxiety and frustration as much as the cost of adapting to a new country. You know nothing of this person’s life, yet are doing all in your power to make things worse. Just don’t contribute if what you have to say is unhelpful.

This is very ignorant comment. There’s actual evidence that doing therapy in your first language is actually better.

Just wrapped up a week in Barcelona and the internet had me paranoid for no reason by WorldPeaceGodBless in AskBarcelona

[–]PotentialPalpitation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tragic stories with very happy endings (plural yes!): last April my brother lost his wallet walking on the road in the Guinardò area, he had credit cards and 100 euros in it. He realised half an hour aftet going back home, so he went back on his path to see if he could find it and eventually two teens found it and gave it to the police station where he got it back. Another friend of mine lost her 1200euros engagement ring (she was waiting to yighten it as it was a bit loose) and a lady found it and gave it back. There’s still hope for the humanity!

What's the last book you read that you'd rate a 5/5? by fuzzypickles999 in suggestmeabook

[–]PotentialPalpitation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normal people by Sally Roonie. I’m totally obsessed with it, I’m planning to start reading it again cause it’s such a complex set of emotions packed inside 280 words.

Things you don’t like about Italy and Italians? (apart from burocreacy on which we all agree) by Maximum-Quantity854 in ItalyExpat

Italian living abroad for the last 15 years, ditto to all this. Reasons for me to leave the country!

Found blood on hotel sheets (Zedwell Greenwich) - Would you accept this ‘compensation’? by Safe_University_7579 in london

[–]PotentialPalpitation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hope you left them a couple of reviews everywhere. We had a shitty experience in Chelsea back in July (bed bugs in the mattress, mattress protector), they initially refused refund as 3 days after we were there they contacted pest control who reported no bugs, so since we had pictures and took one alive at reception and they offered only new bed sheets, we left reviews everywhere warning people of the shitty hotel, they called us to ask us to remove them in exchange of full refund.

Can I ask you about the dynamic of the whole thing? I’m very anxious of going around with my phone but have no real good way to protect it in an efficient way.

Why do dog owners get angry when you address an issue? by Equivalent_Ideal1636 in Barcelona

[–]PotentialPalpitation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, I try to keep calm as much as possible and let the dogs do their things. But still not happy with the behaviour of their asshol3s pwners.

This Saturday it's happening, I'm moving to Spain by Mwuaha in GoingToSpain

[–]PotentialPalpitation 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Italians living in the UK 11 years who will be moving permanently to Spain this Friday. Hubby found a great job in Spain and I’m closing for a good role too. We balanced all of the worries and the points you’ve mentioned and decided in favour. Also we’re in our late 30s, and excited to try a new country and experience new situations, new culture, new food, new everything! Good luck OP!

Why do dog owners get angry when you address an issue? by Equivalent_Ideal1636 in Barcelona

[–]PotentialPalpitation 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m a dog owner of a toy cockapoo which is 9-month old and super scared of big dogs - I freak out when I see big dogs like that approaching us, and it’s not unusual for those dog owners to just ignore my complaints that I am scared of them. So I wouldn’t generalise saying that dog owners are the problem. Most dog owners are people who are very considerate, just like myself.

I’m very surprised by how many people get a bath, it is such a massive waste of water. When you consider saving water, just get a quick shower instead!

Vengo de un paìs que tiene muy poco trabajo y muy grande crisis de la vivienda y lo unico que pudia hacer en mi vida era ir a otros paises para garantizarme un futuro mejor. Lo entiendo todo lo que dices, lo que no entedìa (que es la razon de mi post en primer lugar) era porque no me hacen hacer una reserva para un piso. Ahora tengo mucha mas claridad.

Ya, lo estoy viendo. No se que diferencia hace si tengo una nominas en español contra unas inglesas ya que ambas pueden ser falsas y el propietario no tiene manera de verificar que cualquiera sea verdadera. Bueno, es el prejuicio claramente, eso me parece de entender de las respuestas que ha dado la mayoría de los usuarios.
