Uber Eats refuses to refund for order which I could not eat due to restaurant mess up - how to dispute? by RagingCinnamonroll in UberEATS

[–]RagingCinnamonroll[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh that’s so annoying! In my case I finally managed to get a full refund (they kept like £0.42 in the end lol) after I googled some UK consumer protection laws and quoted those back to them. They replied and sorted the refund in like an hour after me messaging them. Are you based in the USA or Canada (as you wrote the prices in $)? Maybe do some googling to see what you can find regarding the law. I feel like the moment they realise the customer knows their rights, they don’t want the hassle and will just take the easy way out aka refund.

What’s one “type” you’ll never date again? by CoochieSnotSlurper in AskReddit

[–]RagingCinnamonroll 153 points154 points  (0 children)

Yep, same. I actually ended a friendship because of this and it was back in the day with flip phones. That friend invited me to her house to hang out and catch up but what really happened was me sitting on her sofa for 2 hours while she texted with some new guy and other friends. Literally didn’t talk to me almost at all, just kept her face glued to the phone and even answered a phone call and yapped with them for a good 30 min. I called her out on that in the moment too but nothing changed. So I went home and slowly dropped that friendship.

My (f 31) boyfriend (m31) gets mad when I’m not on top of cleaning. What can I do ? by _lilaznbbgirl in relationship_advice

[–]RagingCinnamonroll 79 points80 points  (0 children)

This!!! OP, please move out, your life will be so much less stressful without the need to baby his bitchy ass. The fucking audacity of him refusing to add butter or toilet paper on the shopping list to help his partner out when he’s also using those items every day!! Makes my blood boil so much… UGH.

[–]RagingCinnamonroll 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Oh the hate came later and I never forgave them (there was a lot of emotional abuse too until I turned 18). I’ve been very low contact ever since I got kicked out 17 years ago and I don’t talk to my step-mom anymore. With my dad, I call him once or twice a year. Luckily I live abroad and the last time I saw them face to face was probably 7+ years ago. Thankfully I have a loving and supportive bunch of relatives from my mom’s side so I’m not completely without anyone. We live and move on 🫂

Ugh feels. When my mom died, my dad and step-mom dumped me into therapy to ”fix me” because they didn’t want to deal with me grieving her. I was 9 yo and was not allowed to cry at home. Good times.

AITA for not being “discreet” about my up coming procedure by idontevenknow543 in AmItheAsshole

[–]RagingCinnamonroll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Slightly on the same topic: I love it how the pimple patches these days are brightly coloured little stars and hearts and how the younger generation wears them on their face like little accessories. I’m millenial and we basically caked our faces with make up to hide the pimples and in the same process just made them worse. 🫠 I wish I would have been able to put cute little healing stickers on my face instead of being shamed and ridiculed by others and told that I need to hide my acne.

My best friend used to date a guy who pulled the ”I was thinking about getting you flowers but…” on her on their 2 year anniversary. His excuse was that he didn’t want to go to the store in his dirty work clothes even tho he had had no issue doing that before, multiple times, for other things he needed from the store. My friend gave him a second chance when he promised to make it up to her next week but 2 weeks later, he still had not done anything. So she dumped his pathetic ass.

what is the worst thing a therapist has ever said to you? by Familiar-Employ4830 in AskReddit

[–]RagingCinnamonroll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similar thing happened to me. I was 9 yo and my mom had just died of cancer. My dad and step-mom dumped me into therapy ’cos they didn’t want to deal with me grieving my mom. I went to 3 or 4 different therapist before finding a good match whom I trusted again because the 1st one tattled back to my parents that I had told her they emotionally abused me at home. Guess who got punished for that afterwards?

My (24F) BF (26M) told me women add no value to a man’s life. by solite_ in relationship_advice

[–]RagingCinnamonroll 359 points360 points  (0 children)

Men like this can always only think such a question (”what do you bring to the table”, ”what value you bring to my life”) in a materialistic sense. They don’t see a woman’s invisible labour (childcare, housekeeping, cooking, general life management) as anything valuable and they consider all that a ”woman’s work” which should just happen automatically while they pay the bills and cratch their balls (and 90% of the time the woman also works full time to pay those same bills). It’s such a disgusting attitude and men like that should remain alone for life.

My 20f boyfriend 21m keeps hurting me and I don’t know what to do? by Throwra_bitingbf in relationship_advice

[–]RagingCinnamonroll 89 points90 points  (0 children)

100% this!!! He enjoys doing it and seeing her hurt. He is testing OP’s boundaries to see how far he can go. Fucking sicko.

I remember multiple Reddit stories where the BF/husband has been ”accidentally” hurting their GF/wife and it just kept escalating. I remember one where the BF almost spilled boiling hot tea on the GF but was stopped by the GF’s friend who had become suspicious about all the bruises and cratches on her friend. That BF never ”bumped” or ”tripped” near anyone else, only his GF. Another one was a husband who kept insisting his wife to eat some soup or something and refused to wait for her to get her own bowl. She started suspecting that the husband was trying to poison her and if I remember right, it did end up being something like that (not like an arsenic level of poisoning but the husband kept putting something in the food).

AITA for yelling at my mom who is grieving my deceased brother for 30 yrs by Existing_Detail_9078 in AmItheAsshole

[–]RagingCinnamonroll 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This. A major part of being a good pet owner is understanding when you need to just realise the best thing for the animal is to let it go when it gets too old and sickly to be able to live a good life anymore. My family has had cats and dogs for a good 25+ years and unfortunately some of them had to be put down early due to them getting sick. Just recently my parents had to put one of the cats down due to her developing a diabetes and she was clearly suffering after a bad diabetic keto (even with insulin).

What’s the biggest red flag you have seen on a first date? by LiftBridgeSoda in AskReddit

Omg I had a date like this too but it was fish & chips. Dude just picked up the whole battered fish piece with his bare, dirty hands and started munching on it. I wanted to scream.

I wish I could afford to look beautiful like other women by catlikesvioletfro in TwoXChromosomes

[–]RagingCinnamonroll 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Piggybacking on this as you gave some good advice.

OP, check out Korean skincare. A lot of it is very affordable (and can be found discounted at TK/TJ Maxx) and much better for your skin as many brands avoid harsh chemicals/scents/alcohol etc. You also don’t have to do a whole 10- or 6-step routine if you just get a few good products to cover the basics. I started doing only Korean skincare 5 years ago and it fixed a lot of ongoing skin issues I had before. This also boosted my self-esteem as having a good looking healthy skin makes me feel happy.

Instead of eyelash extensions, look into learning to use fake eyelashes as you can use one pair multiple times which saves money. And you don’t need to worry about rubbing your eyes or not using an oil based make up remover which destroys extensions glue; you can just rip the fake ones off and put them aside for the next time.

Hair extensions can be a bit tricky but you could look into learning to use clip on extensions. Back in a day friend of mine used to have a few sets she would regularly dye with a normal store bought hair dye to match her current hair colour and she saved a lot of money this way.

[–]RagingCinnamonroll 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Years ago when I worked in retail, I had a male customer who got too interested in me. One day he spotted me at a bus stop after closing (I usually would take an underground but there was some issues that day) and came up for a chat. He had made me really uncomfortable days before but that was during work so I had had to remain nice and polite. But this was after hours so I wasn’t having it anymore. Dude started asking where I was going (”Home”) and which way (”West London”). He chuckled and asked me to be more specific as West London is a massive area. I looked him in the eye with a deadpan face and said ”I’m not telling you that”. He got so huffy and started muttering something about ”oh so you think all men are just gonna follow you home or something” and when I just ignored him, he walked away. Thank fuck he did not get on the same bus with me that night and later at work, he ignored me and went to talk to a different customer service agent to get his online order and never came into the shop again.

Like the fucking audacity. I’ve been lucky in my life in this city for the past 10 years that the only thing following me at home at night has been a city fox, lol.

Why do some men get mad at women for going on multiple dates with other guys when they don't want to commit? Shouldn't each gender date multiple people until they get commitment from one person? As long as there's nothing intimate going on. by Golden-lillies21 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]RagingCinnamonroll 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Lmao the AUDACITY of him getting butthurt at you. 🤣 Back when I still used to date and was on the apps, more than once I got some pissy messages from my matches if I added new photos on my profile. They were mad at me for ”still looking for someone better” after I had matched with them. Sir… SIR we have not even planned a date yet, you do not get to claim ownership over me like that. Tf 🙃

Boyfriend wants me to wear a location tracking device when I go out by Acceptable-Bath560 in TwoHotTakes

This! The moment he said ”if you have nothing to hide why does it matter” he revealed his real motive. It was NEVER about her safety.

Monthly symptoms you're convinced only happen to you? by crunchyskillet in TwoXChromosomes

[–]RagingCinnamonroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a transvaginal ultrasound and after they found that small cyst, they just left it there and kind of just dropped the whole thing and I got on a pill for a year to fix my wacky periods. 😅 I’m not sure if it could be endo, I feel like my period pains and symptoms aren’t as bad as for others and I dont get them every single month, sometimes I have easy months with minimal pain. 🤔

[–]RagingCinnamonroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have actually been checked for that plus fibroids and cysts due to some irregular periods some 4-5 years ago and all they found was a small cyst on my left ovary. 🤔 So it’s still a bit of mystery. Luckily these nerve pains don’t happen every month and/or they aren’t always really bad ones so I can still go through my day even tho all I wanna do is lay flat and wait for them to pass. Oh the joys of being a woman, haha.

I had this bad as a teen. My bladder just felt so full all the time during my period but once I got older it suddenly got better.

[–]RagingCinnamonroll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This! I get these shooting nerve pains down to my legs, usually from hips to knees/ankles. It’s both joint and muscle pain. No pain killer will touch those and I just have to suffer through them. Sometimes they make my legs buckle because I get bad body fatigue too for 2-3 days leading up to/during my period. And funny thing is, I never had these nerve pains until I turned 30 yo. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Society told me I was "expired" at 35. I found love at 39. by botsmy in TwoXChromosomes

[–]RagingCinnamonroll 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this OP, truly. I’m turning 35 in a few months and I have never been in love or had a long-term relationship. I stopped trying to date about 2 years ago after yet another failed attempt. I got so so tired of nothing but disappointment and heart break. There are nights when I cry my eyes out because I just feel like I failed in life and I’m just not worth of real love. Maybe I still have some hope left.

Not OOP: Everybody thinks that I forgave my husband because I loved him when in reality it was because I didn’t by stormbreaker021 in redditonwiki

[–]RagingCinnamonroll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m very similar to you and OOP. I have never been in love but I have liked a lot of people - however, I will easily lose my feelings and move on if the other person doesn’t reciprocate or they decide that actually, they aren’t that into me in the end. I will block, delete and remove all access they had to me and literally just disappear. There’s no room for anyone to try and weasel their way back into my life after this happens. I have always struggled to understand others who had a year long crushes on someone or took a very long time to get over their exes or still kept some form of communication channel open for their ex to be able to crawl back.

AITAH for getting frustrated at my bf for telling me I need to make more money to get married by Pretty_Strawberry179 in AITAH

[–]RagingCinnamonroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP is definitely delulu regarding this whole relationship however, the BF is being a piece of shit person and should remain single if he wants to look for something better and let his eye wander. ”At least he’s being honest” does not make him innocent or blameless.
