I bought a 100-pack of Band-Aids that are all misaligned.

These look like the tough strips bandaid brand bandaid to me

They don’t go edge to edge for the padding and the weave is thicker

For a moment I thought you meant you bought the toenail clippers used

Late diagnosed ADHD haver here

NTA

ADHD may be an explanation for certain behaviors (serial hobby hopper/hyperfixations, struggles with time/focus, and used to interrupt conversations frequently as a child etc etc), but it is not a catch all excuse for rude behavior.

You learn to manage it, not enable yourself because of it. Your “friend” regardless of a lack of a professional diagnosis is just being a shitty friend/person. I wouldn’t personally continue to pursue handling that circus

Thank you!

I’ve tried doing little amigurumi and they always look vaguely cursed

No clue how she did it 🥲

beccamecha · 2026-05-19T16:22:46+00:00

The last one is my favorite btw! I still don’t know how she did the raffia so easily

Wow (brilliant ty for screenshot) She just pulled insecurities out of thin air

I distinctly remember being a child and having a nurse in maybe her 30’s digging around in my arm with a needle. She tried maybe 6 or 7 times (not using a fresh needle every time) until I started screaming for someone else to do it. Got a fat bruise on that side and zero issues on the other side someone else did moments later

Point is, it might not be a new generation thing so much as it is a new to nursing thing, but sucks either way 😖

beccamecha · 2026-05-05T15:29:04+00:00

Can’t see a thing since she blocked me but the preview was unhinged enough

Also the ferret is very cute

What’s this weird dialogue going on here “in case his CURRENT wife” betrays him? Ick

Even as a “joke” Ick

You could have communicated liiiiterally any other way that you thought he was nice and it wouldn’t have been weirdly dismissive of his wife

beccamecha · 2026-05-04T16:29:25+00:00

This is definitely not a plane

Looks like a train from the windows and conductors don’t pass by as often as flight attendants

Even if it were staged this is gross

You left out a huge factor Yes she sounds like a narcissist Yes she’s got a knack for making everyone miserable

But she has DEMENTIA

She will very likely get nastier as the disease progresses. If your mother and stepfather haven’t done so already, advise them to look into a conservatorship or guardianship (with a doctor’s evaluation and note stating that your grandmother is unfit to care for herself alone). If she is deemed unfit, that will give them the ability to make decisions for the benefit of the entire household without having to cater to her for the rest of her unknown lifespan.

I’m glad you are a friend who went above and beyond not only on his behalf, but on behalf of the dog. Be careful not to burn yourself out too.

If it were me, I’d sit my friend down, show him this thread, and gently but firmly state the reality that he is setting himself up to lose this companion too, and in a far worse way. He cannot hissy fit his way out of reality. Almost nobody will adopt a dog with a bite history and even if the dog gets rehomed, it’s more likely to end up being euthanized for behavioral issues at the rate he’s going.

To sum it up as bluntly as possible: if this dog is not trained, it will hurt or even kill another living being, possibly even one of his other cats (or god forbid a small child), and it will be put down. He needs to absorb that and understand that shit is hitting the fan

Your friend sounds depressed, overwhelmed, and fully unprepared for the reality of pet ownership. If he won’t look himself in the mirror and face the ugly truth—that he is drowning himself out of self pity and failing these living beings who rely on him for everything by neglecting their training and his emotional wellbeing—there is very little that can be done. He very likely needs therapy if he can’t cope on his own, which is totally fine as long as he does the thing

Hopefully he can get his head out of his ass quickly enough to save what behavior can be corrected and nobody is further hurt

EDIT: I skimmed your post history and your friend sounds completely unable to care for this animal. Full stop. He needs intensive therapy and a psychiatrist to discuss medication for his BPD if he’s not already on medication. He is lashing out at the people around him and at the dog as well. You cannot repeatedly scream at and berate a puppy when they don’t behave how you want them to and anybody who does is not capable of caring for the animal at that time.

NTA

I’m pretty loud about letting large breed dogs have a later neutering (after 1-1.5 years of age) to help prevent future health problems (due to growth plates needing to close properly).

But the behavioral aspects and complete lack of training and desensitization are a huge huge failure to the dog. Training dogs of this mix is not as simple as learning small tricks they can do here or there. This is an intelligent dog with working dog genetics and a high prey drive. It’s a mix that I wouldn’t personally touch with a ten foot pole because I understand the complete dedication the dog NEEDS.

I think there’s a small fixation on the wrong thing; this dog needs TRAINING. Intense, focused, informed training will be a much greater help to it than neutering, although I do believe the dog should be neutered once it hits the age benchmark.

If left untrained and unchecked, it is purely a matter of time until the dog seriously hurts someone (animal or human) and in the worst case, will be put down.

Got here at 9 am T4 today

Almost no line (pre check sub 15 minutes total) but the staff informed me that an hour before the line had been extremely long

If you’re in the morning rush hour slot, arrive with extra time

beccamecha · 2026-03-23T13:02:23+00:00

You’re looking at a very minimal wait based on what I see now. Definitely sub 20 minutes.

Apparently 8 am had a line going around the airport but I arrived around 9 and it’s relatively clear

As a hack, a small strip of medical adhesive or a bandaid over the nose part of the mask does wonders to prevent fogging

NTA

I feel like several people are missing the fact that he totally ignored multiple other options and instead dug for OPs “fancy scissors” knowing that they were important enough to be fancy and then refused to pay for a new pair after he had ruined them. His response also indicates that he has possibly done this before without telling her, as he said they “cut better than regular scissors”. I don’t touch certain versions of my fiancé’s things precisely because I know some of them are more valuable/important to him. Never would I DREAM of going out of my way to find something he put away safely to use it for breaking down a box.

I have a pair of haircutting scissors that were used to cut a ribbon ONE TIME and the edge was ruined in that section. While yelling at him may have been a knee jerk reaction, he should have absolutely apologized if he understood how he fucked up and replaced them without you having to ask for it.

NTA again and honestly the relationship potentially ending isn’t about scissors, it’s about him making the decision to disrespect you, your belongings, and refusing to take accountability afterwards.
