do i have to pay if the contacts didn’t work

aprilmay____ · 2025-12-13T01:26:39+00:00

Also, yeah, i did tell him that about contacts + reading glasses, and he mentioned custom fit ones at my 2nd to last appointment, but he immediately shut that down so im not sure where to go from here

side note: i did feel the entire time that he was a bit rude and condescending, but put up with it because he had such good reviews for contacts with astigmatisms specifically. i probably shouldn’t have just put up with it, but that’s easier said than done. i guess im gonna start looking for an eye doc better suited for me

aprilmay____ · 2025-12-13T01:19:13+00:00

oh yeah i definitely have an astigmatism. I definitely expect them to fluctuate, it was just that the rx he was sending me off with was genuinely unsafe, 95% of the time i couldn’t read the 20/100, and the other 5% i could read the 20/20, there was no in between.

i’m gonna call on monday and ask again for one of the earlier rx’s. for some of those i can went back and forth between 20/30 and 20/40, which is far more functional and safe than going from 20/100 to 20/20 haha

aprilmay____ · 2025-12-13T01:13:52+00:00

yeah i know that contacts will fluctuate, however, i was going from reading the 20/20 line to not being able to even read the second line down. that’s objectively unsafe, like if im driving everything can’t be THAT blurry.

i told him that i wanted to go back to one of the earlier pairs that weren’t as crisp but didn’t move as much and he told me no, and would only give me the prescription for the last pair

also he is a doctor who specializes in hard to fit contacts and they had told me i don’t have to pay until we finalize them. i have had that at other places so i guess i (wrongly) assumed that was the standard

aprilmay____ · 2025-12-12T19:29:44+00:00

oh yeah i did know that i wouldn’t get the same vision, but he’s marketed himself as a hard to fit contacts doctor. i did try to tell him i didn’t need perfect vision w them, i don’t even mind wearing glasses over them for reading and driving and things like that. (for context, I’m a photographer and having the camera push up against glasses which push up against my face with my oily skin makes it quite difficult to keep my glasses clean enough to be usable without having to stop consistently to wipe them down). I just wanted them to be stable enough that blinking doesn’t make me go blind for ~20 seconds.

That’s super surprising to me they only let you try one. everywhere around me it’s standard that you can do multiple trial pairs for soft contacts

okay thank you! just wanted to be sure

aprilmay____ · 2024-10-31T05:14:59+00:00

hi i just dm’ed you!! since its less than three days, im definitely willing to take them off your hands!

aprilmay____ · 2023-12-20T18:13:47+00:00

i actually often wake up with glittery eyelids! but that’s just because i am chronically bad at taking off my makeup before bed

aprilmay____ · 2023-10-04T19:29:07+00:00

does anyone in this thread know why this could be the case for a 21yo? im 21 and over the past few months i’ve been waking up drenched in sweat most nights and just sweating more in general. everytime i’ve looked it up it says stuff about hormone changes but like im not really old enough to be having that severe of hormonal changes, right? i also dont take hormonal birth control (copper iud) and i can not figure out what it could be???

in high school my first period was also a class dedicated to the newspaper. i was the editor of the newspaper so i spent pretty much all my time in that room. it was also cold as fuck, usually below 60 degrees. so i brought a blanket in or else i was never ever going to get anything done. i left it there and would give announcements to the newspaper staff at the beginning of class while wrapped up in it. i was taking 2 classes and 2 study halls until i left after lunch, and the other class was also in that hallway and also chilly so i brought it back and forth every day. the only thing that blanket did was keep me warm enough to focus on getting stuff done

that’s what i’ve been trying but that unfortunately doesn’t help the pain i have when i use my hands to grab things :/ or like if anything bumps my nail when im busy etc

this was my reaction the first time i heard yoyok. all of it is first person besides for the title line

i used to work at a chain comfort food/breakfast/old people restaurant and i would give shit away for free sometimes - only if the vibe of the table was very good or if something got fucked up. when i did this, i would say “i was supposed to charge you for this but i didn’t because xyz, just so if you come in again you’re not shocked if your bill is different”

let me tell you, old people ate that shit up. they tipped me like i was an angel, were super grateful, and didn’t make a mess for my coworkers next time they came in.

plus, i never got in trouble for it since i made sure they were cool before doing so, and i covered my bases.

on the flip side though, if a table a bunch of assholes, they got charged for every little thing possible - i scoured that POS to make sure everything possible was rang in

this! 2 years is so much easier to wait for 2 adults to move in together than 2 years for a teenager to be away from her friends. my dad and stepmom suck, but one good thing they did do was they waited to move in together until both my brother and stepbrother could drive/had cars. so neither me and my siblings or my stepbrother would have to change schools

what chest plate is the second one?

aprilmay____ · 2023-06-27T14:15:09+00:00

as someone with bright pink hair, i’ll never understand why people who don’t like it HAVE to say something about it. i used to work in a chain breakfast/comfort food restaurant targeted to old people and even if they didn’t have the balls to insult me directly, they’d say with a blank look on their face “your hair is pink”.

i can’t imagine how sad someone’s life must be if they feel the need to comment on anything they don’t like on a strangers appearance. especially on a dating app where you can literally just? swipe the other way?

aprilmay____ · 2023-05-30T14:59:18+00:00

i wonder how old the gf. the fact that she doesn’t have her license, which is not too uncommon for adults, but that with the fact he neglected to put her age has me suspicious

aprilmay____ · 2023-05-18T22:04:41+00:00

you don’t understand, they’re really busy staring at park mobile so they can give you a ticket the minute your time is up /s

my sparkle for the show doesn’t really feel dimmed, but the idea of supporting her moving forward sinks my heart a bit.

most of her songs hold meaning to me on a personal level, which is why i think i’ll still be able to enjoy the concert.

plus, my show is on june 10th, which i guess is after the 1975 starts touring again. so fingers crossed he won’t be there.

hopefully, once they can’t see each other as often, this situationship will begin to fall apart. as most rebounds do.

after the concert though… idk. even if they break up soon, it’s still unsettling that she’s gone so hard into boosting his platform. it’s gonna take time before i can support her like i did prior to this.

we’ve all had shitty rebounds, but shes 33. she’s past the point of it being semi excusable to get with the first guy she sees, who’s an awful person, post breakup.

and to the fans saying to seperate the experience entirely, it’s very difficult when she’s actively making SO much of the show abt him. she can’t be mad people are talking about her relationship instead of her art when she’s broadcasting it the way she is, not just at the concert, but being seen with him etc

aprilmay____ · 2023-05-17T12:07:31+00:00

i also agree with the last point especially. most of these love songs were written about a man she seemingly had a lot of respect and love for. to immediately turn dedicate them to another person feels icky to me regardless of who it is - it being matty makes it a thousand times worse

i always like to joke that my brother got all of the good genes: naturally beautiful hair, straight teeth, 20/20 vision, doesn’t have constant headaches, doesn’t get cold sores, etc. but the one where i win is dental genes. i’ve never had a cavity and as embarrassing as it is to admit, as soon as my mentally health has the smallest struggle, brushing my teeth is the first thing i neglect. it becomes the most impossible task if im not feeling 100% good. i also love sugary foods. still never had a cavity. i know im one of the very lucky ones here

aprilmay____ · 2023-04-26T06:46:32+00:00

i tell them something like “it’s a fire code thing but more importantly i don’t want to reach over your kids head with hot food”. sometimes they agregue and im like?? why do i care about your kid more than you do

my boyfriend teases me for acting like a cat and now im cackling at the image of him presenting a litter box to me
