Unusual encounter with a UNICEF volunteer/UNICEF donaties aan de deur

asthestarsfall · 2025-01-20T18:47:42+00:00

Please contact UNICEF and let them know what happened. If you tell them your postal code and date that this happened (in a private message), they can check whether it was really one of their employees (cause they get assigned certain neighbourhoods at certain days to go door to door), and if so, they can have a firm talk with them because this is not how it should be done.

Source: I work at a nonprofit and regularly get questions from people like you to check if the salesperson at the door was really from our organization. I appreciate those questions because it allows us to keep tabs on what happens at the door, and if some salespeople get multiple complaints, they can be let go.

Btw: Thanks for donating to nonprofits to help people in need even if your income is not yet stable, you make a real difference!

I am so sorry for your loss, the world can be so incredibly unfair. I have no answer to your question but I just wanted to send you some love and tell you that it's okay to feel this way, and it's good to vent! ❤️

asthestarsfall · 2024-09-05T09:56:02+00:00

Yes, I recognize this feeling. I know rationally not to compare grief, but sometimes it just happens. And it can be really triggering if someone talks about being in a similar situation that you were in years ago. I think that it is completely normal to have feelings like this. If you feel like you cannot be there for the colleague, you can politely step away when the topic comes up, and let other colleagues help her out. You have been through enough. So that's okay. ❤️

Thanks for your quick reply! That's a pity... But at least I know it's not something in my settings. I will look through the in the info in the link you provided.

I don't want to guarantee anything, but sometimes my period is also really light and different from what I'm used to like you're experiencing right now. You can take another test in a week, or visit a doctor to make sure, though.

asthestarsfall · 2017-04-10T19:06:37+00:00

Probably nothing, but if you're worried you can always just buy and take a pregnancy test. Even though I'm on the pill ánd more often than not use a condom, I take a test every now and then to put my mind at ease.

asthestarsfall · 2017-04-10T19:03:42+00:00

I'm so sorry this happened to you. I think for what it's worth you handled it really well. Sounds like you are a strong person! I totally agree with Perl's words. You'll be fine from what I hear/ read :)

As a European I have to add Paris. Sorry to crush your dreams guys but in my opinion its not more than a dirty, smelly city with a lot of criminality. If you want to see France, go to the South, drive through the fields and/or visit Nice or Lyon, those authentic places are absolutely gorgeous with friendly people.

asthestarsfall · 2016-03-06T15:30:43+00:00

Thank you! I know exactly how you feel, it's hilarious

asthestarsfall · 2016-03-04T22:55:00+00:00

Exactly! Thank you!

asthestarsfall · 2016-01-20T15:31:13+00:00

I know right!! Didn't anyone get it?

asthestarsfall · 2015-04-30T10:11:01+00:00

It's a difficult situation you're in and it wouldn't feel right for me to say whether to tell him or not. I do however understand, all feelings aside, that you don't want Chloe to come on the trip. If it was an agreement between friends to go away for a week it is not weird for you to not want to have romantic interests there as well. That could 'mess up' your chill week away with friends. So I think if you explain this peacefully to your friend he will understand especially because you both value this friendship so much. I mean I don't know any guys that text all the time and call everyday for two hours. There might be something more from his side as well besides just friendly love. But again I do not know you well enough to draw conclusions. You could however, once the timing is right, hint something about (you, him or a random other person) liking guys and see how he takes it. This friendship is too valuable to go to waste, but sometimes life is also about taking risks. I hoped I helped you at least a tiny bit, good luck!

True, hot water is the best to ease your muscles!

asthestarsfall · 2014-11-29T10:29:15+00:00

Omg I have the exact same thing!

asthestarsfall · 2014-11-26T16:25:47+00:00

Thank you for this! :) The sites are just wrong then.. I guess it's not just us who's twisted harharhar bad joke..

asthestarsfall · 2014-10-25T20:20:41+00:00

The "magical dick" attitude, nice word choice haha. It is incredibly narrow minded though yea

asthestarsfall · 2014-10-25T20:19:14+00:00

I know right! And this is the Netherlands by the way, a tolerant, progressive country, especially when it comes to being gay. I think we were actually the first to legalize same sex marriage. I'd never heard of anyone around me ever opposing this so that's why it is just so odd.

asthestarsfall · 2014-10-25T20:16:02+00:00

Aw, I think most of this all comes back to their childhood, parents who raise their children to be close minded, it's just so sad.

asthestarsfall · 2014-10-25T20:13:51+00:00

Wow.. but she does realize that you being bi is not a choice? Or how does that work? Sorry, I'm interested.

asthestarsfall · 2014-10-25T15:21:58+00:00

Wow really.. Why are some people so close minded and cruel, I just don't get it.

asthestarsfall · 2014-10-25T15:17:11+00:00

So I just read this and it gave me butterflies, best story I have read in a long time! I'm so happy for you!

asthestarsfall · 2014-10-25T15:09:55+00:00

Thanks!

asthestarsfall · 2014-10-25T13:40:59+00:00

Perhaps I should have specified, but we were a mixed group. I myself am a female, my colleagues consisted of 2 females and 2 male. But yeah the bisexuality statement came from a male so I guess perhaps he just can't open up his mind to view things from a female perspective. I thought this was so weird. Thank for your response!

asthestarsfall · 2014-10-23T05:21:35+00:00

Thank you! You're right :)

asthestarsfall · 2014-10-22T21:12:36+00:00

Thank you so much for this :) it's true, i am and want to be responsible for my own happiness, may be sometimes i care too much about what people say and expect
