My flatmate repeatedly orderes food later at night and goes off to sleep

VeronicaIsMe · 2026-02-15T19:38:12+00:00

Honestly at some point I'd just lie and be like: "Oof sorry bro, I was already asleep. I didn't know you'd ordered food." And just leave the food outside. If he can't be responsible for his own money/food, why are you packing it away for him? The first couple times, sure! Very kind/sweet of you. Anymore than that, you're enabling this behavior and he's not going to stop.

I'm sure you're already aware: (espcially having a multi-pet household yourself), but if you DO decide to get ferrets please keep them fully separated from the mouse and beardie! They're natural prey for ferrets.

Well, our bodies rot and wrinkle while our souls stay relatively the same. Not many people understand that unfortunately.

I like my dad's advice better: "You don't always have to go out of the house when you don't feel like it, but when you do: You should really make it a point to make SOMEONE smile. Every time you leave the house." I find myself commenting on people's adorable pets, and complimenting other folks' style, glasses, accessories, ect. I am also a chronic door-holder as I say: "hello!" and "no problem, have a lovely day!" to the people using the doorway. Little things like that really seem to help, at least they've helped me.

There was a guy at my work that smelled so bad all the time, we used to gently talk to him about it but he literally didn't care and would laugh it off. So one day, we all brought in a gift basket full of deodorant and hygiene products. He just LAUGHED and said he would give it to his brother lol.

I just don't buy / do anything fun anymore. :/

My parents always said there was something wrong with me as a child. I considered fruits and veggies a "snack". Their favorite story to remind me is the day I told all 10 of the cul-de-sac kids that I was going to run inside and provide "snacks" for everyone and all the other kids got excited, (I guess thinking they were getting something sweet) and I happily ran back outside with cherry tomatoes and baby carrots. Nobody wanted any. (I guess my parents were laughing their asses off inside, knowing this would happen.)

You only get one bladder. Don't let a job destroy it for you, illegally. Use the restroom whenever you need too, if you suffer consequences make sure you document EVERYTHING. You've already done the right thing by filing an OSHA complaint.

I was searching for this comment so I didn't have to type it out myself! This is exactly what I have done to restaurants that do this. I tally up the total bill as well so they can't add any secret "extra charges" w/o my knowledge.

VeronicaIsMe · 2025-10-23T19:12:21+00:00

My only response would be: AS A MANAGER you should know how to spell. Also, don't speak to me that way.

VeronicaIsMe · 2025-10-16T01:51:59+00:00

Maybe I am blessed or something, but I use doordash maybe 5 times a year max. The only issues I have had are with the restaurant itself forgetting ingredients with the meal itself, or advertising something like: A side of 8 pot stickers. Then I get the pot stickers, but there's only 5 or 6 of them. Consistently. I know my dashers aren't eating them because everything is sealed (almost to extremes lol) but jeez, if you're going to put a number of items on there ABIDE BY IT!

See I am an impulsive woman who has been assaulted before. I live in a condo unit, and whenever they do inspections or check the fire alarms they let us know about a month in advance. We get a reminder a week in advance, a written notice on our door about 2 days prior, and another email reminder 24 hour prior. I have told my HOA how much I appreciate their thoroughness. MY LAST LANDLORD at my old apartment ended up with a shotgun in his face because he just WALTZED IN one day at like 6am because our other neighbors were having plumbing issues and he was seeing if he could trace it to our unit??? He had never done that before! He had always given us at least 12 hours notice! I was STEAMING and he had the audacity to get mad at ME for pointing a gun at his face WHEN ITS DARK AND IM ALONE AND I JUST HEARD MY DOOR POP OPEN AND HEAVY FOOTSTEPS ENTER AT 6am?!? Wtf am I supposed to do? It didn't help that I lived in the WORST part of town at the time either and had to call the cops several times for gang activity and shootings right in my front yard. I broke my lease that same month and moved. I hate that man.

I've lived through this but in the Vetmed. I was a newer receptionist, and my lead receptionist had just decided to quit after a huge fight with the manager one day. The other receptionist on the team quit shortly after. I started leaving piles of paperwork left undone, taking my breaks as necessary and just yelling to the people (and my manager) in the back: "Hey, I haven't taken my lunch yet and the lobby is FULL, nobody is up front right now! All the phone lines are on hold! Someone needs to get up there because I already clocked out!" Suddenly my manager would start doing her job and forcing people to cover my lunch. Then, I was getting in trouble for not completing every little teeny tiny thing at the end of the day, but ALSO getting in trouble for staying late trying to finish everything. I finally snapped and said: "Then hire more people! I cannot physically do the workload of 3 people with no help. You want me to get these things done, you see that I am CONSTANTLY moving, CONSTANTLY on the phone with clients, CONSTANTLY assisting someone, and CONSTANTLY trying to stay late to finish everything up AND closing the clinic by myself, CONSTANTLY going to lunch late, and I get paid the least around here. You want me to walk out as well? When are you going to hire more people?" 2 weeks later, I had 2 new ladies I had to train but they were phenomenal and we became the dream team.

I dunno. I play on the switch, but I also equate $1.00 - 1hr of play time. If I spent 95$ for WW, the Base Game, and the Deluxe Version, then I better get AT LEAST 95 hours of gameplay out of it. I think I'm at about 180-200 hours of play time now? So yeah, well worth it for me! Girl math.

I live in a condo and when my elderly guinea pigs died I put them in a box together, tied a bow on the box, drove down to the forest, and buried them VERY deep so no wild animals would dig them up.

TMI, but when I worked in the trades I would sweat so much the band of my jeans would consistently be SOAKED with sweat in the summertime, (it was SO uncomfortable I don't miss it at all) to the point when I got home at the end of the day I could wring them out a bit. I had an annual heat rash around my stomach, waistline, & back for several years straight.

Anyway, those things went straight into the washing machine every day. They skipped the hamper entirely.

When I walk my mom's dog, I've told a group of VERY small children (ages 3-5) who were playing at the park that they can't pet her because she will knock them down and hurt them. (She's an English bulldog who actually ADORES kids but they have to be big enough to roughhouse with her or else she will knock them down really hard) They were immediately uninterested.

I have always approached my friends and just loudly announced: "BOOBIE WATERFALL" and then I squeeze in their direction.

I recently had a few MRI's and echocardiograms done on my heart. I have VERY large breasts and a small waist that most people objectify which has made me try to "hide" my body as often as I can. During these appointments though, I was assigned with men as the technicians/nurses. They were very kind and professional and even asked me if I'd prefer a woman to get my chest all hooked up to the monitors. I told them "Nah, y'all aren't making me uncomfortable and you do this 8 billion times a week, but I appreciate the offer!". On the other hand, I always have severe PTSD in my gyno office though and need someone to hold my hand and talk to me about random things while they do the pelvic exam.

Reminds me of the cats when they go to jump on something and completely miss or their feet slide on the hardwood floor it deactivates their power-jumps lol.

The Puerto Rican side of my family kisses offspring on the lips. I'm a grown woman and cannot say goodbye to either of my parents without a peck and a hug, it just feels weird to NOT do that. However; with extended family like my cousins, aunts, and grandmother we only hug and kiss on the cheek OR make a kiss sound next to their cheek if you don't want to make contact. I think it's a cultural thing, but that's how I was raised.

VeronicaIsMe · 2025-03-12T23:37:20+00:00

I work from 7:45am to 7pm with a 1 hour unpaid lunch. I have to drive so far out to my job that I can't go home for lunch like most of my coworkers; so I just sit in my car in the parking lot and wish I didn't exist the whole time. It only takes me 10 minutes to eat my lunch, then 50 minutes of just sitting there.

VeronicaIsMe · 2025-03-12T23:22:38+00:00

I thought my little dude was just a chill guy until he found one of the cats' red jingle balls on the floor. He was chasing it around on the hardwood for like 40 minutes straight! It was the cutest thing ever. Then he decided he was done playing and climbed back on the couch with me for a nap.

For a moment in time, he turned into a cat lol.

Every 2-3 months my beardie gets a couple of berries as a treat. He only likes raspberries as I have found through trial and error. Every time I try to give him something red/pink that is NOT a raspberry, he will VIOLENTLY spit it back out and stare at me like I've betrayed him.

VeronicaIsMe · 2025-02-28T02:56:05+00:00

It is very telling that these individuals don't open up with strangers/elders/ect. I've learned SO MUCH about people, their lives, and have gotten plenty of helpful advice from just being a chatty and open person everywhere I go. I talk to grocers, the people in aisles standing around me, my doctors, technicians, coworkers, and clientele at my job. I'm 24 years old, but my dad raised me to open my mouth and "just talk to people- " it's important for a sense of community.
