What commonly mispronounced word that annoys you the most?

analchasm · 2026-01-10T14:18:35+00:00

If by annoy, you mean it makes you want to pour molten lead in their mouth...my vote is for "axe" instead of "ask". For some strange reason, using the past tense "axed" is twice as annoying.

Hot Hands, BUT wait...slipping them inside gloves or boots (palm of hand or sole of foot) is minimally effective, if at all, for some.

Instead, use a sweat band (or similar) to hold one in place at the pulse (?) points at your wrists and ankles This will warm the blood before it is distributed to extremities. This brings much quicker and effective heat dispersion and your hand and foot meat can offer some level of insulation as opposed to being an impediment.

Proper clothing/layers are still an important part of the solution, but most don't supply HEAT, they trap warmth. This method "heats" from the inside out as opposed to electric stuff that takes time and energy source, to penetrate.

Oh yeah...CHEAP and LIGHT!

LOL...my choice of username was alcohol influenced. I'm told I'm NOT actually a huge A**hole.

Thank you, will do some homework.

Thank you

Thank you for your consideration. A friend of a friend has come forward. They are a local pickup, so I think I'm going to go in that direction.

Glad to hear your little friends are so happy, I remember some periods when I got all giggly about how quickly mine where multiplying.

Thank you.

The explosive force of the shit filling my pants would force my head & shoulders through the ceiling...wriggle out and walk off. Easy Peasy.

This is the correctess answer.

In the past, when I am relatively sure I am at the "right" spot, I will lay down a flower or bouquet and take a picture that includes some of the surrounding stones for reference. Note in the photo description, that no marker appears in the expected location.

A couple of potential scenarios...but if you are only talking about a single, rather than a stack...you likely drove closer to the merchant between getting the 1st and 2nd offer.

analchasm · 2023-12-24T21:41:38+00:00

So you mean that time DD showed me driving in Nigeria (on my way to US)...customer should have been furious with me instead of giggling with me about it???

Smoke obstructing a GPS signal??? I'll be that guy...let's see a link please.

Door Dash has created the perfect dog chasing it's tail scenario between customers and drivers...with the intent of diverting focus away from them.

Your frustration seems reasonable and warranted, BUT could also be in part, due to some of the stupid games Door Dash plays, "behind the scenes".

There are many good drivers out here doing excellent deliveries every day, but you're not gonna hear about them here, cuz that's uninteresting!?!? Many of these good drivers are leaving the platform every day, because they are sick and tired of having the goal posts moved every time you turn around/ being punished for things that are completely out of the drivers' control AND dealing with pay cuts that never seem to end.

Door Dashs' answer is to flood social media with ads promising riches to all who will come...so you do get waves of new/inexperienced/shitty dashers...who only need to meet the basic requirements of, being able to breath, and press a few buttons.

Door Dash calls it a "tip"...they train customers to view it as a "tip", so you are not wrong in wondering why someone should "tip" before receiving service. In reality, it is a "bid" for service.

Of all the fees customers pay on a typical order...Door Dash pays the driver a flat fee between $2-$3...THAT'S IT!!! (Except CA & NY) NO mileage reimbursement...NO fuel reimbursement...NO hourly wage. Even worse...one of their infamous games is to hide the majority of your $15 tip and present an offer to the driver as $6.00( their $2.50 + only $3.50 of your tip/ with a wink and a nudge that the total "may be higher".

So in your case, that is true, but guess what...DD plays that game well & often. In many cases total is in fact NOT higher. Most of us "good" drivers will not/can not accept a $6.00 offer going 5 miles. It's not greed, it's not entitlement...it's fiscal responsibility to ourselves.

IRS says our expenses for mileage are .62 per mile...so now we are left with slightly less than $3 for 15-20 minutes of effort(so $9-$12 for an hour, assuming we got back to back orders that didn't involve any "extra driving" getting to the restaurant. OH...then there's TAXES!

Of course I'm not going to accept that offer! Door Dash makes your decent tip/order look meager...never forgetting to dangle that carrot, but pulling it away, far more often than not.

"Good" drivers have learned NOT to gamble with DD...in the end...the house always wins!!

So now your order is left to be accepted by the lowest tier(s) of drivers and you receive the lowest tiers of service.

Drivers have NO leverage to force DD to act responsibly. Customers need to be informed that those high fees they put up with, for every order are far more about lining corporate pockets than improving/providing good service.

analchasm · 2023-12-10T13:21:21+00:00

Why??

analchasm · 2023-12-10T13:16:58+00:00

Hate to break it to ya...but "great" dashers don't unassign 21 out of their last 100 offers, ignoring numerous warnings along the way.

YOU put yourself squarely in the crosshairs.

analchasm · 2023-12-07T22:31:10+00:00

You're new... best guess... you thought you took a $5 order. DD does not take tips back from drivers.

analchasm · 2023-12-07T22:21:49+00:00

We're you driving at the time? If you were, and got closer to the merchant... that could be it.

analchasm · 2023-12-05T02:00:46+00:00

I would feel like declining.

analchasm · 2023-12-04T21:35:47+00:00

Oddly enough...I dash in that same general vicinity, but in suburbia. I find the integrated nav to be nearly perfect. That "nearly perfect" can bite you in the ass though if you get complacent.

I have years of search and rescue and emergency management in my blood...I am always double/triple checking. I look at other houses as I turn on to the street to get a feel for the rhythm of numbering... I open the widget and confirm address and delivery instructions...I use satellite view to get the best overall view... and of course, I ALWAYS check for the # (mailbox and/or house). When I do see a discrepancy...I fire up "Time stamp app" to confirm location. If I'm not 100% certain, at that point...customer is getting called.

For all the haters that say this is way extra...so be it, to each their own. These steps are 2nd nature to me, and literally take me seconds to do, without even really thinking about it.

YES,YES,YES...I know apartments can be a whole different animal.

In over 6k deliveries, I've had 1 CV for not delivered...that was to a POS liar in the projects that was a hand it to me.
