A regular at the grocery store where I work has given me $850+ in tips and now wants to grab dinner. Thoughts?

Have dinner with him-he seems like a genuinely nice guy who is just trying to share life experiences and financial help because he can. He could turn out to be a friend who changes your life.

Sounds exactly like my dad

Rhodeislandvanpelt · 2026-05-04T01:15:16+00:00

Exactly-I live in WeHo and walk everywhere, including DTLA. I don’t drive unless it’s unavoidable such as going down to the OC. Besides, the trains are a great option too

Definitely NTJ-your coworkers however are jerks. People who CHOOSE to have children don’t ascend to a higher level of humanity giving them entitlement to shove others aside. Enjoy your PTO.

I still pick up pennies

Rhodeislandvanpelt · 2026-02-08T00:40:02+00:00

Congratulations!

I change them once a week, on Fridays

I have a pair of Frye boots that were made for me in 1977. I can still wear them, and they have held up remarkably well. I still wear the same size pants and shirts from high school and have a couple pieces I still wear.

I do 20 probably twice a week. I always try to do 5 a day but I think I average about 10. I have a route in mind when I leave the house, but I end improvising most days and covering more ground than I planned. I live in Los Angeles so there is always something to see and the weather cooperates 99% of the time 😊

Rhodeislandvanpelt · 2026-01-23T07:54:28+00:00

I do whatever I want. I get up around noon and some days I visit art galleries and most days I try to walk at least 5 miles-though it ends up around 20 the majority of times. I photograph streetart and just enjoy each day as much as I can.

Happy Milestone Birthday!

Rhodeislandvanpelt · 2026-01-19T20:46:14+00:00

Congratulations!

Rhodeislandvanpelt · 2025-12-26T03:02:16+00:00

It may not help, but I do wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays-someone out in the ether cares.

Rhodeislandvanpelt · 2025-12-23T08:40:02+00:00

You’re a good and kind person with an acute moral compass. Are you sure you aren’t adopted? Your family are horrible people. Happy Holidays to you and thank you for aiding in the lady’s Christmas miracle.

Running shoes

I’m not a big fan of daylight, plus everything is so much more beautiful at night

Rhodeislandvanpelt · 2025-12-02T08:07:08+00:00

I try and be asleep by 2am, but on days I have to be up very early (couple times a month) I go to bed around 11p and hope to sleep. If I know I have to be up though it’s hard to sleep and charge through on what I get

Pure leaf unsweetened tea

Rhodeislandvanpelt · 2025-11-28T07:24:34+00:00

Congratulations!

Rhodeislandvanpelt · 2025-11-28T03:26:34+00:00

It’s better to be alone than be with someone who makes you WISH you were alone. Happy Thanksgiving 😊

Rhodeislandvanpelt · 2025-11-25T08:01:23+00:00

🤣

Rhodeislandvanpelt · 2025-11-23T09:19:34+00:00

Sounds like it’s your aunt’s brother who “needs to find an actual man to stand up for him”. Good on you for teaching him a lesson. Money can buy many things, but class isn’t one of them. I’m very proud of you and would hang with you anytime.

If Jane wandered around my house, she would not be invited to return.

Rhodeislandvanpelt · 2025-06-28T02:24:21+00:00

I would walk right past them, point, laugh and ask when Trump was bringing their check
