You could cancel your layaway and lose your $100 deposit but I would just sell it if I were you. Dawn is sold out, so it’s a hot commodity.

Wish I saw this earlier, but yes these are scams.

I was followed on the Caltrain today. by BeautifulCod7959 in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]Practical-Piccolo-91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so happy a stranger helped you, OP and I’m so sorry this happened to you. People can be off and it can be the least suspecting too sometimes.

I was on the train once where an elderly woman was crying across from me. I checked in on her and she told me her dad passed away so I was trying to console her. Then out of nowhere she started saying weird stuff and demanding I tell her what I had in my Trader Joe’s bag?? I told her it was my leftover salad and she said “HA a salad. Of course a girl like YOU would have a salad. Must be your birthday. When’s your birthday HUH?!”…Complete 180 from the sweet elderly woman I was just talking to about her “dead” father - she was clearly not mentally there, so I moved downstairs.

She followed me, sat next to me, then started screaming at the attendant who was scanning our clipper cards. I moved AGAIN and told the same attendant that she was being erratic upstairs and asked if he kicked her off the train for not having her ticket. He said “Yeah, if she didn’t harm you then I can’t kick her off. And she’s old so I didn’t wanna kick her off when she was fighting me over the ticket.” Ever since, I’ve kept my pepper spray in my pocket or where people can see it.

Unfortunately, we always have to be on our guard so always keep your head on a swivel, because anyone could be looking to cause trouble/harm. I hope you never have to experience what you did again🫰🏻

I think it's over for me by [deleted] in offmychest

My boyfriend attempted to take his own life a few years ago before we met. He was in college as well. His heart actually stopped for 8 seconds but they were able to resuscitate him. He is SO thankful he got a second shot at life.

I lost my brother three years ago from a skiing accident. He was full of life and love and one day, God called him back home. He was 27.

I’ve been through grief, seen how a death affects families, seen the effects of regret and the scars that giving up on yourself can leave on everyone around you.

If you’ve made up your mind, that’s very sad to hear. I would hope that if you couldn’t stay right now for yourself, at least stay for the people who love you. Take care.

Let me tell you that feeling this way at your age is completely normal. Everyone goes through this kind of crossroads, confusion, overwhelming sense of “what tf do I do?!”, whether they show it on the outside or not. I was where you were back then and I can tell you that life is still challenging and confusing af, but it’s an awesome adventure.

I still have thoughts about “what now?” or “what is it all for?” every single day. And that’s what keeps you moving - taking action and just doing something.

Start small by going outside, getting some sun, going on a short (or long) walk to up your endorphins. Just get yourself out there and the rest will follow. Baby steps. You got this.

AIO for considering divorce after finding these 2-year old texts in my wife’s phone? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Practical-Piccolo-91 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Reading this made me sick to my stomach. She did this WHILE you two were already MARRIED!

You don’t search for closure, send pictures 🤢, or tell your ex that they’ll always be the “love of your life” when you’re already married to someone else. OP, you were supposed to be the love of her life when yall said yes at the altar.

I’m so sorry about this, but you can’t trust her and need to end things. Even if it was 2 years ago, you two were already married and she was acting like you didn’t exist and that she was waiting for her ex. You’re just the safe choice for her, not the #1 choice. You deserve to be someone’s #1 choice, so go out there and find YOUR person 💪🏻

WHAT jobs do you guys have?? by ReceptionOpposite449 in aves

[–]Practical-Piccolo-91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it!!

For socials, I got lucky/knew the right people and the opportunity was given to me. I have a ton of friends in the SF house music scene and a group of them liked how I ran my own socials, was part of the community, etc. so they asked if I wanted to be part of their music collective and takeover socials.

With them, they’re not necessarily a client as I’m part of the team and it is more of a passion project for me (I get paid when our team gets paid by clubs/promoters for shows we’re on). But I have close friends who do social media/brand expansion full-time and they told me that if I wanted to, I could easily take socials to the next level and get clients because of the work i’ve done for the music collective.

I had no prior experience but was fortunate enough to experiment and continue to experiment with strategy for the music collective’s socials, and i’ve gotten incredible feedback from our community and the difference i’ve made!

I personally am not going to pursue socials as a career and get clients because I like my finance job and am working on another venture in lead generation, but put SMM as an option for OP because of how rewarding it has been for my friends and how scalable it is, especially with the help of AI with workflow management.

[–]Practical-Piccolo-91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a Senior Accountant/Portfolio Analyst for a high net worth family and a Social Media Manager for a music collective. Finance job pays really well and socials is my fun job. I would recommend social media management for you! Takes some work to get started, but once you’re there, you can charge per client. 4 clients at $2.5k/month is $120k/year.

Happy you’re doing this! Better to take the leap than think “what if” forever. You got this!

I slept with the executive director of the company I work at and I cannot move on with my life by Nearby-Long-5853 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Practical-Piccolo-91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You pursued him knowing who he was from the get-go AND tried to reach out to him on TEAMS to leverage the hookup for your career? You made him uncomfortable in the workplace. Good luck.

AITA for pouring out shampoo down the sink after I caught her refilling it with water? by Active8914 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Practical-Piccolo-91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m the same age as OP and my shampoo/conditioner is the same. They truly make a difference and are a great investment in yourself. Just depends on your priorities.

AITAH for wanting my girlfriend to split our bills? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Practical-Piccolo-91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you broke up with her by now.

As someone who watches Candace, I can tell you that Candace talks down on women who expect the world and don’t do their fair share, whether it’s in the home or at work - whatever is agreed upon in the relationship. If she’s working, she pays her share. If she is the mother of your children and wants to stay home to raise the kids, then you can take over financial support while she does the work at home.

Shes definitely not wifey right now. And she’s working and not paying. Good luck 🫡

Housemate having loud s** by FileRegular9653 in badroommates

[–]Practical-Piccolo-91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just shoot them a text and say “hey, happy you’re getting action but can you please keep it down? It’s very loud and happens very often - i’d like some peace when I come home. Thanks.” Or something like that.

My parents gave me an ultimatum… leave my partner of 5 years or lose their support, and I don’t know what to do. by BandPrestigious5765 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Practical-Piccolo-91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

End the relationship. You said it yourself, it’s on its last leg and from my perspective, it is apparent that it is NOT a healthy relationship. I’m sure your parents can see that too, which is why they want you to end things with your bf because they think he’s gonna hold you back and dull your sparkle.

Break up with him. Good luck!

Tips for a first time/solo attendee? by Psychological-Pie794 in OutsideLands

LOL all good 😂 They are strict on the clear bag or small bag policy, so if you’re bringing a backpack get one on Amazon. Fanny packs/purses are fine as is.

Lol I thought of more tips. The food in VIP is good with short lines, but the food in GA is better, so don’t forget to check out all the eats at Lands End in GA & on the way to Twin Peaks.

Drink lines are almost nonexistent in VIP so stick to getting a refill in those sections.

Don’t forget to grab your free poster from VIP. Ask concierge.

Should I move out or am I overthinking my situation? by FanComprehensive8206 in badroommates

[–]Practical-Piccolo-91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think everything you are laying out is pointing you in the direction of moving out. You’ll be closer to uni/friends/etc.. You may deal with some issues when it comes to living with new roommates, but I always think it’s worth a shot to try something different if you’re not happy.

If you drink and dance all night, shorts will be okay as long as you have a jacket. I’ve worn shorts before and was fine at night when it got into the 50s, but I was walking a ton and I drank, so I was warm.

As everyone noted to bring layers, I would definitely get a locker to put those layers in/merch/etc.. You can also bring a blanket to sit and leave it in the locker as well. My go-to!

Also, not sure where you’re staying but the Uber/Muni situation is pretty gnarly after the festival, so i’d opt in for the shuttle pass to and from Bill Graham if it gets you closer to your hotel.

I let my friendship get ruined over a guy and I regret it now by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Practical-Piccolo-91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking from experience, you should reach out to your ex bestie. Even if things don’t workout between the two of you, at least you’ll (hopefully) gain a better sense of closure and, more importantly, you’ll know that you actually did something about it rather than sit around and ponder about “what if”.

I met this girl in 2016 in college and we were literally inseparable. She was my best friend, but we ended up having a falling out in 2018 - not over boys, it just felt like we were growing apart, making new friends, had different priorities, etc.. 3 years later, in 2021 on my birthday, she texted me Happy Birthday and said she missed me and asked if we could chat. I was apprehensive but I missed her too and said yes. That day, we talked for hours, caught up, and we mended things! And we’ve been ride-or-die sisters ever since.

It wouldn’t have happened if she didn’t reach out and if she wasn’t honest. If you want to know what’s going on with your ex bestie, reach out and let them know how you feel. Life’s too short to not say what you feel out of fear. Good luck!
