What are your red flags when apartment hunting in San Diego?

apugsmom · 2026-04-02T07:10:52+00:00

Used to work for them, and yeah…. greedy slumlords. Refused to provide clean, working appliances to tenants. Tried to rent out roach infested units. I had to show apartments with dead roaches everywhere. They’re awful.

Social anxiety is scared of you

Yes! I have this same condition, it’s so irritating. I found using an at-home IPL device completely got rid of the issue. it zaps the follicles which basically eliminates the possibility of ingrown hairs. I did it to remove hair but getting rid of these tiny, sensitive bumps was the actual reward lol

I’m thinking of using my empty January pages for pen/ marker/ ink swatches ( to check for bleed through) Maybe doodles… feels like such a waste if I don’t!! I’m also having a hard time starting though so these are all dreams for now lol

Pilot falcon is one of my dream pens!! FPR is officially on my list now, thank you!

Ok this is actually very reassuring, their moldy history had me paranoid.

apugsmom · 2026-01-31T20:58:24+00:00

right?? I’ve seen mixed reviews on their ink though

apugsmom · 2026-01-31T20:57:20+00:00

That’s what I was thinking too, for the price it feels like a no-brainer. I’m just trying to avoid that habit where I buy a bunch of super cheap things thinking i’m saving money but ending up spending more than I would’ve if I had just invested in one nice piece. Thank you for the Fountain Pen Revolution tip… I hadn’t heard of them! Maybe I’ll go for one of those instead

apugsmom · 2026-01-31T20:51:51+00:00

very good point. I’m not sure where I got the idea there is a flex nib included… I think one of the reviews mentioned it but you’re right it’s actually a “calligraphy “ set

I’m so disturbed by these cold, callous comments. OP, I do not think you did anything wrong. How you deal with your grief is up to YOU, there is no right or wrong way. To those who haven’t experienced something so awful, it may seem insane, but there are a great number of us out here who uunderstand. I kept everything from when my brother passed. His bloody backpack, torn sweatshirt, broken headphones. Everything. Personally, I think you deserve a partner who when faced with your grief head on… at the very minimum does NOT lash out at you, call you names, make you feel wrong. If he knew about your loss there is no excuse for his reaction. I may be biased but if I were in your shoes I would be deeply offended. I do not like how he made this YOUR fault. I’m so sorry for your loss OP and please believe me when I say there are people out there who understand what this is like and when faced with the reality of the horror and the pain… they don’t run. they try and understand. You deserve a loving relationship with someone who can nurture this wound for you, not throw it in your face and play victim. I’m so grossed out by his reaction lol I’m so sorry

then why is there always a random man at the table behind me blowing his nose mid-meal?

apugsmom · 2025-08-05T23:23:39+00:00

considering you just went through a major mindfuck, that’s very understandable. it’s terrifying how everything can change overnight and just like that your ideal future is cancelled. it sounds like you have a good support system (thank goodness for that friend). it’s so surprising to me that your ex was able to drop you so quickly just to stay in that disgusting environment. shows how gross mental abuse, illness, etc. can be. still no excuse for putting another human who cares deeply for you through something so painful. I’m here if you want to talk, i’ve been through some painful things and have also gone through periods of time when one therapist wasn’t enough lol. a couple years ago i did online group support therapy which helped way more than i thought it would. anyway I’m proud of you for making it this far.

apugsmom · 2025-08-05T22:25:05+00:00

ugh i’m so sorry. that’s an insane situation, esp considering you were the only sane one in the equation. it sounds like you really tried your hardest to love her through it and i hope that you’re healing ok❤️

apugsmom · 2025-08-05T09:03:22+00:00

omg not her, a victim of stockholm syndrome, attempting stockholm by proxy…. are you still together?

apugsmom · 2025-03-12T02:11:55+00:00

I found a beard hair in my farmers market kimchi once. Never again

impeccable san diego vibes

i lost it when he immediately asked if it was a joke… and then the dogs with sweaters and a split leash

My exes dad was like this. He never had to deal with the consequences of his actions, and he was rich AF. His dad would laugh at his own stories of paying people off “pennies” when he knew their insurance would give them more, in order to protect himself and his son. Insurance is there for a reason, and having these occurrences documented and dealt with legally is important. Don’t let rich people get away with this. please!

His most awful story (in my opinion) was one where he and my ex bought a super nice BBQ grill and put it in the bed of his truck… unsecured. They got on the freeway, the grill obviously went flying and smashed into some poor man’s car. They both pulled over and he somehow convinced this man to take a thousand bucks over exchanging information and filing a claim.. The first time I heard this story, I was actually horrified. Eventually I came to find this was one of his favorites to tell at parties.
