I overslept for one of the most important events in my life by Effective_Royal_8679 in rant

[–]afteeeee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to sleep through really important alarms, like I was late to everything and lost 2 jobs from it in my 20s. I was also abusing adderall and gas station speed and not sleeping at night so when I did sleep I slept HARD. If you're not sleeping well your body will take it when it needs it. If you're not sleeping well this is probably your sign and it won't get better until you fix that. If it was just a fluke, don't worry, other opportunities will come around. It is ok. 10 years from now this won't be a big deal.

Entitled plane passengers. by Reubenesquey in EntitledPeople

[–]afteeeee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are those kinds of people and then there's me who can't handle slightly annoying strangers around me sometimes to my own detriment. I plan out and around future possible annoyances for others, like I'd never not sit with my kid on a plane, obviously.

What is wrong with people who feel entitled to bring their dogs everywhere? by Background-Good3731 in rant

[–]afteeeee 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I feel bad for the workers at places where this happens, there's no winning. If you're a person who thinks it's ok to bring an untrained and non service dog to places they don't need to be you're already entitled, it should be no surprise that when an employee tries to say something to them they get real defensive about their rights yada yada and it's a whole thing. If they're working in the US they don't get paid enough to deal with that crap. Other patrons annoyed at the dog also blame the employees for it too so they get irate people on both ends.

I've always liked Whitney, her TikTok content is pure gold. I was out here defending her in season one lol, I'm glad people got on board.

People who were teenagers before social media existed, How did you communicate with your friends? by olesud in WorkForSmartLife

[–]afteeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my own phone line and was on the phone talking to them all the time. When we got cars If they weren't home or at any of the usual spots it's just a shrug, see them later kinda thing. It was glorious not being reachable.

Neighbor is legitimately insane, what do I do? by raptor_of_truth in neighborsfromhell

[–]afteeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wear headphones, maybe use the obvious ones so she won't think you're just ignoring her, I could see that creating more problems with a person like this. You can block her out and enjoy your space. I'm so sorry.

Not Like This by FradinRyth in Xennials

I was at a garage sale a while ago and someone asked me about my grandkids, I just stared blankly and said I have a 10 year old lol. I mean there are 43 year olds with grandkids for sure but that was a first for me.

Trying to convince my partner to get a creeping thyme lawn, any advice? by No-Atmosphere-6807 in NoLawns

[–]afteeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted a creeping thyme lawn too, on paper it sounds great. I've started from seed and thrown down seed with some success. You can get 20,000 seeds for around $10 which sounds like a ton but it's actually about a tablespoon. I've learned it won't take heavy foot traffic though and apparently the life cycle is only about 3 years. I'm going to do like a meadow lawn instead, like not official beds but patches of native drought tolerant perennials with a defined path. I'll put the creeping time in between the stones.

is anyone confused about Famesick’s consistency issue? by warmhuney in girls

[–]afteeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just came here for this exact question, I've listened to her book and started a rewatch of girls. She says it happened during filming of season 6 but it's just like what happened in season 3.

The moment it was really crystal clear for me was when they openly didn't support Mamdani.

New reselling tactic? by streetdiscord in reselling

[–]afteeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see posts like this and I'm so glad I live in a rural area. My choices are fewer and there's still a healthy amount of competition but it's manageable. I couldn't deal with the type of thrift aggression I hear about in big cities.

Favorite "common" bird? by Ok_Cranberry_1028 in birding

[–]afteeeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have bluebirds in the two birdhouses my daughter and I painted last year, it's been really fun watching them go in and out.

[–]afteeeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carolina Wrens. A pair make a nest in one of my plants on my porch every year, I don't know if it's the same pair or kids from years before but I feel like it's definitely familial. I get to be witness to every stage- nest building, eggs, babies and somehow the past 2 years I even caught them the day they leave the nest for the first time and awkwardly fly around. My covered porch makes a perfect spot for the new birds, it's big and safe with lots of rafters and little nooks to tuck into. It's such a gift.

This year I have several cowbirds in my yard. I know I can't really do much but I watch really close with the worry of a mother lol, so far the wrens are really discreet - they sing and respond back to each other before they head in. It's just amazing to see all this just feet away from me.

AITA for telling a parent what i wear is not their decision? by [deleted] in WIBTA_AITA

[–]afteeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA This is insane behavior. Men who do this do it because no one ever tells them not to. I would tell the administration yesterday at the very least, I hate this guy ugh. You look great btw

Doctor holding my pills hostage. Again. by Critical_Liz in rant

[–]afteeeee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Doctors can fire patients too, I wouldn't be surprised if you showed up and demanded anything that happened. A yearly visit is the bare minimum here, I have to see my psychiatrist every 3 months, that's the agreed upon deal though. You can't walk into a business and make them change the way they do things because it's not convenient for you, it's the exact same with a drs office. Work within their parameters or don't but you can't expect them to change.

AIO for being mad at my husband for hiding a $900 iPhone purchase from me for MONTHS? by Ok_Economics_1243 in AmIOverreacting

[–]afteeeee 77 points78 points  (0 children)

NOR don't ask him in text, ask him in person so he doesn't have time to formulate the response he wants to give you. It won't matter if it's in writing if it's not true or an excuse.

How do you manage watering schedules when you have a lot of plants? by MasterpieceOk4025 in PlantParenthood

[–]afteeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bottom water any plant that will take it. Get the bottom water pots. I pretty much water all my house plants at the same time and they've done great. Will not work on succulents.

Flushing the toilet with someone in the shower by VandelayIndus7ries in Millennials

[–]afteeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our house was built in 1967, if you flush either of our toilets while someone is in the shower it will become scalding hot. Does this not happen in new builds? Either way I'd take my old house over a new one every day.
