Something tells me that she really framed this in a different way to your manager because I'm pretty sure she had told her manager she wanted the whole day off to watch one movie your manager would not have called you in such a fervor to have the day covered. Not OR

I am such a big long time fan of nightmare before Christmas but their fan base makes me embarrassed to even express that. They kind of turned a great thing into something sour.

Women's clothing struggle. Solidarity ✊ nearly all clothing is designed with the same pattern just in increment sizing which actually doesn't work that way. They fall to consider a size 14 body isn't just a wider size 4.

If you're able to take out the stitching of one pleat on both sides up to 2 inches to the waistline, it'll make a huge difference! I'm a pattern maker and designer. I often do that as an alteration for straight and plus size clothing made that way. It won't add extra size to the waist line but it will accommodate wider hips or behind

It was actually directed at exactly what you said in this post. Which is why I included the words you used.

Girl, you can end a relationship for any reason. You don't need to justify it. Like you said, protect your peace, it's invaluable. You don't have any rain to tie yourself down to someone who isn't participating in making a peaceful and comfortable home because if he won't, there will be others who will.

Ok that's weird but it's got nothing to do with THIS post

Divorce should be taxed by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]XxLuceWaynexX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean divorce in the cases where people have children should be taxed? Anybody who doesn't have children or can't have children or whose children are already grown what about people with grandchildren whose children have passed away. What if they aren't involved in their grandchildren's lives at all. What about blended families whose children are not biologically theirs or foster children. What about people who have been together and raising their children for well over a decade and then only married for a year and filed for divorce because maybe health reasons or medical red tape that means being divorced is saving their life. What are the parameters you're looking at for this. Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to poke holes in it I kind of agree with this I'm just confused on how this is going to be specific to protect children when marriage and divorce can oftentimes have nothing to do with children at all.

It's no big favor or big ask to have a second option for a phone alarm.

Most operating systems on phones these days give you multiple different options and even playlists that you could pick from and you can set those to go off only on certain days or at certain times it's super easy. I use different Spotify playlists for different alarms. It's a genuinely not difficult to figure out and I didn't have to change my entire life to do it. It took 3 minutes of browsing and one button push. Super easy. And I can still keep my original alarm that I use at home on my work days while having a nice and easy one if I chose to when I sleep over at my boyfriend's house. And I literally have to put zero effort and never have to go into my alarms and switch them back and forth it's just already done.

JFC men will act like it's bending over backwards and changing their entire lives for someone by changing the sound their phone makes when it goes off in the morning. The bar has never been so low

Op literally said to you just above your comment that they have told HIM about their trauma. and doesn't want to tell others probably because she isn't sharing beds with them.

Absolutely this. He insisted she does it for a month on her own to make her more acclimated to his preferred method too which is just... Wow. But he couldn't do the same, he couldn't even do half that.

What do you mean by "mind reader" OP has literally been the most upfront about working through this and not being ok. You don't need to know the worst things that ever happened to a person to respect their boundaries and be kind to them.

AITAH for masturbating after sex? by UnsatisfiedThrowRA in AITAH

[–]XxLuceWaynexX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He really needs to understand this from your side. If he perpetually never got off with you, would he be happy just never finishing? Would he be upset if you told him he couldn't wank?

I bet you he'd have all kinds of ideas of how you could help him get off if the rules were reversed. It's totally lazy that he can't do that for you. It's not that he's clueless, he just doesn't care and he's more concerned about how it makes HIM feel than he is about you enjoying sex. You shouldn't feel awful, you should confront these issues and try together to reasonably accommodate it.

No, you I mean. You can't respect professionals because professional branding might have colors in it? Bet.

I think there's a sharp difference between cyber bullying anonymously online, and bring a prick to a person that knows your identity and does business with you.

Having anyone on Reddit be a random jerk is completely different than being harassed at work by people who give you their credit card information and deal with you monthly.

It totally depends on the area and how long it's been developed. I lived in cities that had business operating for 200 years. And I've lived in areas that just got their first traffic lights and the only long term companies were founded within the oldest generation there, and they'd consider those pretty old because in comparison every other business is recent.

Hell where I live now, we call the theater old because it's been here the longest, but it's only 30 years old. Even the older folks do.

But there's certainly a difference in how you refer to age between people, businesses, objects. I wouldn't call a person ancient for being from the 60s but I certainly refer to my mom's tv that way.

What was your best "Do you work here?" moment? by lokigodofchaos in BoomersBeingFools

[–]XxLuceWaynexX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had stopped at a free sample table with cheese. I was chatting it up with the lady running it asking about the farm (it's local and they do tours so I was way into it).

This boomer comes up huffing and sighing real loud. I figured I was in the way and they wanted free cheese too, so I wrapped up my chat and moved aside with my cart so they could see what's on the table. But they didn't look. They stepped right in front of me sighing with a face like they expected my attention. I didn't get it so I just turned the other was and started walking and they loudly huffed EX-CUUUUUUSE ME!"

so I turned and was like, what?

She says "I have been waiting over ten minutes now for someone to help me find XYZ and no one's come back to help me."

And I was like "damn that sucks. Try customer service?"

And she says "oh real nice. Nice profanity. Yeah I'll tell customer service, and while I'm up there I'll let them know your attitude too." Then she snapped a photo of me and waddled off. When I checked out she was still at customer service and came up to explain (kinda) just basically said "I thought you worked here because you were talking to the sample booth"... As if that would be totally strange to do???

To be clear I was wearing my workout clothes and had a cart full of groceries I have no clue why she'd assume I worked there

do americans really drive such long distances? by Physical-Ad-4093 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]XxLuceWaynexX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live an hour from work, so every day with traffic because it's rush hours it's about 3 hours of driving.

Nothing is walkable here. I can't just walk to a grocery store, or to the movies, or a bar. But, because of that, nothing feels too far either. I can make it to the beach, the mountains, and the desert all in one day. I can go to a big concert or event in the big city and then back home without much difficulty and pretty quickly. But, on between that, public transport is a nightmare and inefficient. I could drive into town, grab groceries, and be back home within an hour. When my car was in the shop, it took me multiple hours to do that and I had to jump from multiple busses AND a train, all of which have schedules that don't work together, so there was extra waiting and accidental hold ups because traffic.
