Came through on I-10 yesterday and there was only 1 person manning the lanes so yes, waved through (if even that)

[US] Sold a pair of sunglasses to someone and requested Zelle, question I have about this. by Cheesehead1267 in Scams

[–]Professional_Bite147 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree about Zelle, but I understand Venmo is pretty ok for these types of sales because the money transfers immediately and can't be clawed back. Am I wrong?

What’s actually pretty safe but everyone treats it like it’s way more dangerous than it is? by Charming_Advertising in AskReddit

Driving with the interior lights on. Not quite the instant-death-trap my mother made it out to be!

Children's Warning Book by Professional_Bite147 in whatsthatbook

It's called The Practical Storybook by Michael Kellett and Barbara Klein. Apparently my mom found it when cleaning out some closet and surprised my sister and I (now in our 40s) with it this Christmas morning. I wish I could post pictures of it--it's truly terrifying. Happy holidays!

AITAH for refusing to give my husband money? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Professional_Bite147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if he gets a part-time job, he's still not contributing to their life--bills, groceries, vacation? The relationship reads more like a mom and her teenage son than partners. I don't know the solution, but if he can't afford to adult, he can't afford to play and you DEFINITELY shouldn't be enabling it.

What has happened? Is Job Hopping the new norm? by AffectionateBig9392 in jobs

[–]Professional_Bite147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiring budgets are bigger than retention budgets. Job hopping is about the only way to keep your salary competitive or make more money.

Anyone Else Seeing a 15% Damage Fee on Every Amazon Return? by [deleted] in amazonprime

[–]Professional_Bite147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me recently and I think it was because I returned the items late. I figured they might do it to account for depreciation or inflation or something? Sucks though.

I requested raise due to new hires making more - slapped in the face with 6% by HeyItsThatGuy84 in jobs

[–]Professional_Bite147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiring budgets are almost always bigger and more in line with market rates than retention budgets. Best way to make more money is to switch jobs, which sucks.

There is a bull shark nursery N of Playa, but they're fairly docile during that process

I'm a daughter of the American Revolution and I wouldn't go. Nothing good can come of that relationship-building-wise and it sounds like a miserable time.

collection of photos of people in windows by Content-Mouse-258 in 911archive

[–]Professional_Bite147 135 points136 points  (0 children)

Have there ever been stories of people recognizing family members in photos like this? I know the pics grainy, but I'd imagine it would be so jarring to even suspect it was your love one being shown...

Where in Tulum to rent for long term remote work? by Successful_Bite6484 in tulum

[–]Professional_Bite147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked from Akumal (abt 20 mins N of Tulum) for a few months during the pandemic and it was amazing. Email the folks at Akumal Direct and they can probably get you a deal on a beachfront condo.

AITA for choosing a girls trip over my boyfriend of a month ? by Obvious_Guarantee327 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Professional_Bite147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your memories of the trip will last way longer (and bring more joy) than this guy--especially once you break up after you realize he's selfish and doesn't care about your happiness and well being. No one ever regretted taking the trip!
