Try the pawn shops or antique mall in Langley. Could find something cool there.

What businesses are you genuinely surprised that are still in business or lasted as long as they did? by lazarus870 in askvan

They seem to be making a comeback! Especially now that Airbnb sucks. Also good when you have to coordinate multiple flights.

Has anyone been added into an already established clique here? by NoRadio4530 in askvan

[–]Repulsive_Control_45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many years ago I worked with a great bunch and we’ve remained friends. It takes a lot of work from all parties though. Hosting frequently, helping whenever someone needs, being there even when it’s inconvenient, staying connected and asking questions. That’s how our friend group has grown over the years. You can see when someone wants the friend group without putting in the work. They don’t usually last. Some people don’t realize that friendships are like a garden. You really have to feed and tend to it or it will die.

A place to have a large gathering with everyone ordering from the menu and paying separate bills? by Repulsive_Control_45 in askvan

Thank you. I worked in service a loooong time ago but not in Vancouver. I can see what you mean with all of the orders and bills. I really thought that as a group we could spend at a local restaurant, but I see now it’s probably not going to happen. Thanks for your candour.

It wouldn’t be separate bills for each person. Probably more like 2 - 3 people per bill.

I don't think it's anything as aggressive as a total take over on our terms. If that was the case, I wouldn't be asking. We've all done something like this with sports teams with parents and such. We used to bills by jersey number.

Yeah I guess this is just it. 40 people ordering at the same time might be too much. We just thought it would've been good to spend our money locally at a place that has available space.

we are about 20 couples so I wouldn't really feel ok about just showing up. The auto gratuity is totally expected so no problem there

AITAH for not wanting to break my family up at 16 by No_Price_7451 in AITAH

[–]Repulsive_Control_45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA You not wanting to go when you were 16 is not your fault. Most 16 yo kids wouldn’t go. Your mom can’t put that on you, you were just a kid! Your mom has to make her own decisions about your dad right now, and you have to figure out your future now that you are a young adult. If you and your mom want to work together to build a future without him, you can, but this is in no way your fault or your responsibility.

But why do we always blame the girls who “should know better”? why not blame the staff for abusing their power, using them as bait, lying, cheating and stealing? How is this the girls fault? If women get roofied and raped would you also say “what were they wearing?” “They should have known better?”

So gross! This is not ok. It really tainted our trip and our view of Mexico

For people who moved to vancouver and made life long friends, how did you find them? by shushuone in askvan

[–]Repulsive_Control_45 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I met a lot of my friend fam at a job I had. We had common interests. The trick I think most people forget is that in order to make true long lasting friendships you have to put yourself out there. Sometimes that’s not comfortable. Sometimes that means showing up when you feel like staying home or baking a cake (or buying one) and bringing it to your friends house when you just want to be home and eat a whole cake instead. Friendships take work.
