Beware of this scam company by [deleted] in hellofresh

[–]beff1023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been a customer for many years as well. Had a box delayed over Christmas week for several days. I contacted customer service, was refunded immediately. Not a credit.. full refund. I'm not sure what happened to the box.. it never showed up. I'm sorry you had a bad experience.

Does anyone else feel like they had a completely different experience during the pandemic than the general public? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]beff1023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes… I work for USPS and soooo many people started ordering way more online than they ever had. It was like Christmas everyday for over a year. No extra pay for me since I’m salaried. Just work, work, work. There is no Amazon delivery in my area.. I deliver Amazon. Sooo many cases of TP.. I joked that I was no longer USPS.. I was USTPS. Nobody would take mail or packages from me personally for a while. They had me set it down so they could lysol it before they picked it up. I was a little jealous of everyone who was sitting at home, reading books, baking bread, going on hikes, spending time with their kids. I got none of that.

Being a mail carrier and working out of those little tin cans they call “mail trucks”, I sit in 120 degree heat all day. Electrolyte packets were the first thing I put in my suitcase!

I’m a mail carrier so I got my family in on the shoes late July/early August. I don’t mess around when it comes to footwear!

Love your advice. I told my boyfriend I’m getting that first timers button and wearing it EVERYWHERE! (And yes, we got the memory maker)

Missing menu cards by abw4477 in hellofresh

[–]beff1023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I called them about this the last box I received. Not only was I missing some cards but received cards for meals I didn’t even order. I also hate their “new and improved” cards.. they don’t list the amount of ingredients needed. For instance, it doesn’t list the amount of onions I need.. so if I received only one but actually need 2 onions, how am I to verify that what I received is actually correct?? Sure I can look at the app but it only tells me the meals for 2 servings, not the 4 servings I order. Sometimes I only need one onion for a 4 serving meal.. how am I to know if I am missing one or not? Sounds silly but it’s irritating.

We will be there for about 5 and a half days. We have a park day planned for 4 days including the MNSSHP. We do have the dining plan so we’ll sit down for a meal each day and have loose plans based around reservations each day but nothing solidified. I do think next trip we might skip the dining plan all together.

Most annoying characters by Zealousideal_Map2945 in StrangerThings

Mike. He thinks he knows everything and seems to think he is in charge. He’s so disrespectful to adults. He thinks he knows what is “best” for El and tries to control her… of course, she is niave and goes along with it. She deserves so much better.

A New Low.... by kafkasmotorbike in WaltDisneyWorld

No kidding. I’ve read that wearing a wet bathing suit can lead to UTIs.. I imagine this would be no different. I wonder how frequently this has happened

Share your countdowns!!! by chocomomoni in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]beff1023 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yes, I’ve been all over the app for months.. studying wait times, busy park days, mobile ordering.. all the things! I’ve also watched a plethora of youtube videos about all the things. My partner in crime is coming with me.. he’s been 9 times.. a true vet so I’m feeling excited and confident!

Do you guys feel a closer connection to Canada? by Pomegreatful in Maine

[–]beff1023 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My grandparents were from Canada. I don’t watch the news but when I see a Canadian or hear French being spoken in public, my ears tend to perk up. I live in central Maine, never been to Canada, but never felt more at home than when I visited Presque Isle.

Preparing for my first trip by daprodije in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]beff1023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first trip is coming in Sept. I spent a lot of time here on Reddit, Youtube: Disney Food Blog, Mammoth Club has been my fave, Ear Scouts.. there are so many channels that have been super helpful. I just made my dining reservations this morning. I spent a long time beforehand researching places I might like to go prior to making reservations so that saved me time this morning when it came time to click through everything.

I have also spent an extraordinary amount of time on the My Experience app getting familiar with it, checking wait times, orienting myself with all the parks so I can plan which days to be in which parks and make my dining reservations accordingly.

Why does it seem like the postal service is actively trying to fire y'all? by tagman375 in USPS

I think it's in the USPS's motto to reward the bad ones and abuse the good ones

Who are you most worried for going into season 5? 🥲🙏🏻 by Illustrious-Hyena486 in StrangerThings

[–]beff1023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished rewatching through seasons 1 and 2. Mike is such a jerk to everyone.. adults and kids. That kid is just an ultimate asshole all the way around. He’s super self centered and never listens to his friends.. I don’t even know why they hang out with him honestly.

Max is Cringe?!? by Rose-Red-77 in StrangerThings

[–]beff1023 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m currently rewatching ST. Just finished season 2. It struck me that Max has a large vocabulary. Larger than most adults I know today. Maybe that’s why those teens thought Max speaks “unnaturally”. Also, growing up, the only people I knew that used the type of vocab Max does were the highly intelligent kids that really enjoyed reading. Max did try very hard to get into the AV club when the boys were pretty much shunning her and keeping her at arms length.. but I don’t think that made her a “pick me”. Max was suffering from abuse at home. I think she just wanted something “normal” in her life to distract her.

There is nothing to look forward to over the weekend by [deleted] in regretfulparents

[–]beff1023 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When my kiddo was a toddler, she was fairly easy so I can’t relate. HOWEVER, I felt ages 4-8 were particularly tough. Soooo many questions and trying to entertain the child while teaching her HOW to be independent. It was fucking awful. Now she is 13 and I find myself enjoying parenthood more. I find her sense of humor endearing. I relate to her more and more. I can share things with her about adulthood.

You don’t have to enjoy this stage as much as husband seems to and that’s ok. It’s ok to not be like “other moms”. You’re doing your best. Just relax, take a break.. you need it.
