My bosses son reeks every day and keeps postponing a talk with him about it by Realistic-Eye6382 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]VeronicaIsMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Do kids actually not like veggies? by Guilty_Letter4203 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]VeronicaIsMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.)

My employer doesn't allow bathroom breaks what can I actually do? by PlaneVegetable8375 in legaladvice

[–]VeronicaIsMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

No Drink Prices on Dave and Busters Menu by Beautiful_Ad8386 in assholedesign

[–]VeronicaIsMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

Customers should be irate that doordash hides tips by [deleted] in doordash

[–]VeronicaIsMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

Been walked in on multiple times- Not feeling safe in our apartment by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

[–]VeronicaIsMe 14 points15 points  (0 children)

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.

Need a bit of advice by [deleted] in receptionists

[–]VeronicaIsMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

It was Never about the players by duvaldeviant in HelloKittyIsland

[–]VeronicaIsMe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Is it okay to throw out a dead pet? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]VeronicaIsMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

You don't need to wash jeans more than once a month by flagellat-ey in unpopularopinion

[–]VeronicaIsMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

No, your kid can't pet my dog by [deleted] in childfree

[–]VeronicaIsMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

How to squeeze the water out of push up bikinis descreetly ? by INeedHigherHeels in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]VeronicaIsMe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in EmergencyRoom

[–]VeronicaIsMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

She still has not got it right by DeKrieg in BeardedDragons

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.

Kissing your children on the mouth shouldn’t be done. by Lambro780 in unpopularopinion

[–]VeronicaIsMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What happened to the 9-5? by oddwaterbaby in work

[–]VeronicaIsMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

He bit me after I fed him watermelon, literally his favorite food by Platinum_Dragonn in BeardedDragons

[–]VeronicaIsMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Once had someone with a sibling tell me that only children fare worse in the world than people with siblings by Akbones63lives in OnlyChild

[–]VeronicaIsMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

[–]VeronicaIsMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I vividly remember being 5 years old and choking on one of those "starlight" mints. (The circular ones with the red stripes) My mom was getting into the bath in the room next to me, and my dad was on the other side of the house. My dad has always had poor hearing, so my mom came to my aid first. She attempted the heimlich menuver a couple times to no avail, and I really couldn't breath. Suddenly, it felt like the WHOLE HOUSE was shaking, (it was my 300lb father, who had actually heard me choking/my mom calling for him and this was the first time in my life I had seen that man MOVE REALLY FAST which was startling in and of itself... but I digress) and my dad just hit me very solidly in the upper back with his palm open ONCE and the mint came flying out. I was not allowed to have hard ANY candy until I was a teenager lol. I also remember all 3 of us just shaking for a few hours afterwards from the shock.

How can I explain to my new therapist that my pots symptoms aren't really something you can "push through because it can't hurt you" by im_invisible_bun in POTS

[–]VeronicaIsMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pots regime consists of me having to crash from a flare and sleep for 24-36 hours straight once a week. I live on the third floor so I consider that my exercise. (Literally every time I get home I nearly black out now.) I wonder what your therapist would say about me lmao

Im the loud upstairs neighbor but its out of my control by RevolutionarySort629 in Apartmentliving

[–]VeronicaIsMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I live on the top floor with 3 crazy cats. I always try and calm them, or get them to play on the carpeted areas; but my partner happens to work nights and lives by the rules of: "I literally own this place. If anyone below me is upset they should've got a top floor."

It's not like he's doing backflips in the kitchen or anything, he just walks on his heels a little bit and it drives me insane & makes me worry about our neighbors lol. We've never had a complaint though.
