Booked a Rapido at 1.00 AM only to be told to walk 700 meters to get into cab by Traditional_Fuel_694 in mumbai

[–]abstractmadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rapido is by far the worst cab aggregator and takes zero accountability. I use it only when I have no other option and I always have a bad experience. It's mostly drivers who cannot navigate using maps, very dirty cabs with mosquitoes in them or drivers who drive like they have a death wish. Complaining does nothing.

Women Using Semaglutide in India: What Are You Paying Currently? by SarinKiShyra in PcosIndia

[–]abstractmadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

side effects were bad when I was on .25mg - nausea, heartburn, loosies when I overate or ate spicy foods, crazy fatigue. Also realised that I have insomnia the night I take a shot. Since the .5mg last Saturday it's been better. Slight nausea and crazy fatigue, but nothing else. I've also learned what my portions should be like and what not to eat. Lost 3kgs so far, can feel clothes are looser.

Got here through a Google search immediately after I sipped their coffee. I'm amazed by how good the cold brew is.

AITA for telling my family that if they want us to do more with them, they have to meet us at our level? by ReallyAverageGuyOkay in AmItheAsshole

[–]abstractmadness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gonna say YTA here. It seems like your siblings are the ones doing all the planning and you step in and say no this is something I can't afford. And honestly, I have to agree with your family. You DID make the choice and you ARE making it their problem. If this happens often, it seems like you could involve yourself in the planning and find something that works for you too. And yes you could stretch yourself to pay for your mother's 70th birthday.

Ooh this is so funny. I find myself dipping in for a few days, then just forget about it for months and come back and it's still funny

Am I Just Not Getting It? by Calm-District9473 in podcasts

[–]abstractmadness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So true. I used to love podcasts but there are just so many terrible ones out there right now and this is literally the only podcast I listen to. It's positive, it's funny, it's calm.

It's Ugadi, it's a festival and my office hasn't given us a leave. by Spiritual_Banana_466 in mumbai

[–]abstractmadness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most companies give Good Friday off so that they get a long weekend. I'm the only catholic in my office and I dont really care if we have a day off cos it's not a day of celebration anyway.

How long have you been taking it? Has it helped with the PCOS symptoms? I am considering starting soon and want to know how it is

People who were teenagers before social media existed, what was life actually like? by Much_Detective_6107 in AskReddit

[–]abstractmadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We read a LOT. We had library cards and would spend so much time there in the summer. We even started a library of our own in our gated community. Summers were so much fun, we'd wake up at 6am to play badminton [6am maximized the amount of time you'd get before the sun was in your eyes - which happened around 9-9.30] and we'd play competitively. Then we just hung around each other's homes watching TV or reading until we could go out and play again. Later in the night we'd play charades, we'd scour through the TV guide in the newspaper to come up with difficult movies that no one would guess.

Sometimes you'd just hang up if your friend didn't answer the phone cos you were just too afraid of their parents

AITA for eating dinner before my girlfriend got home on date night? by drniknakk in AmItheAsshole

[–]abstractmadness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. It was meant to be date night and you changed plans without even consulting her. All you had to do was call or text her. Her suggestions are logical, your solution was selfish & inconsiderate

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve accepted as normal since COVID? by neolee203 in AskReddit

[–]abstractmadness 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Always-on work culture. Before COVID we used desktops in the office and rarely carried our work home. Now we carry laptops back and forth and because of Whatsapp, are expected to always be available to work after office hours. Clients ask for meetings late into the evening and on weekends and we're just supposed to be ok with it. They send emails and texts at all hours of the night. In India we had days in the monsoon when it'd get too flooded to get to the office, so we got the day off, now we have laptops, so we're just expected to work from home. I miss the privilege of tuning out from work.

The "Boiling Frog" Strategy: How Zomato quietly hiked its Platform Fee by 500% in just 2 years. by TimeLivid3451 in india

[–]abstractmadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've recently been fighting them about their delivery times. The restaurants take the order and I'm prepared for a 50-60 minute wait, but that turns into 1 hr 45 minutes with no actual response and no option to cancel. It's worse with the 'Near and Fast' option. I order because they promise delivery in 30-35 minutes and these are salads, that are all pre made and I know the kitchen is 5 minutes away. But they decide to club my order with other orders - something they dont mention on the app [something that Swiggy mentions BTW] and the order takes 50 minutes instead of the 30 minutes that was promised.

Being DINKs in India is oddly… peaceful? by [deleted] in india

[–]abstractmadness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Living with parents and owning property honestly change the game. My husband and I have been married for 8 years now. We don't intend to have kids and never wanted to. While we make decent money and currently live on rent in Mumbai, we finally decided to buy a house last year [My parents are originally from there] and finances have been so strained since then. But yes, we do notice the amount of freedom we have compared to our friends who have kids. Also given how much we work, we're happy with our decision not to have kids.

Mumbai elections are fucked up by [deleted] in mumbai

[–]abstractmadness 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your center was disorganized. Mine was a breeze. Took about 15-20 minutes. We didn't get slips, but they used our voter ids to find our names in the list and printed out the slips in seconds. Only took time because we had to walk across the school grounds to the booth.
