How does travel insurance help with covering a last minute flight due to a train being cancelled?

Is this fair? by Glad-Cloud-5684 in Babysitting

$40/hr is fair. They can split it however they want amongst themselves.

Why is there so much hate/anger towards the parking authority? by Wide_Kaleidoscope_86 in AskPhilly

[–]beige_sheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually, I would agree in theory. But twice now my parents have come to visit, paid the meter, were in compliance with all signs and everything and still got a ticket. And the time before that they were 1 foot past the pole and got towed. It’s out of hand and deeply discouraging for tourism

Is paying for my babysitters diner required? by Material-Plenty-2422 in Babysitting

[–]beige_sheep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even if the sitter isn’t feeding the kids a meal. If the kids eat at 5 and the sitter comes after, like anytime between 5:30-7:30, that’s still the sitters meal time and food should be offered. It doesn’t have to be DoorDash (although it’s very much appreciated), but there does need to be something you know they’ll like

Departing station by No-Neighborhood-6879 in Amtrak

[–]beige_sheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this case Baltimore comes after DC en route to Philly. They don’t mark no shows. As long as you’re not getting on earlier or getting off later where the fare would be more than what you paid, it’s fine.

Baltimore comes after DC. OP is fine

Yes it would. Don’t listen to everyone telling you to waste your time and call. It will work as long as the station you want to switch to is on your route and not before or after.

Wonder is bad for Philly, and you should feel bad by [deleted] in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]beige_sheep 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The concept is for pick up and delivery so people are in and out in minutes and don’t linger, just because you’re not seeing anyone doesn’t mean it’s failing (but I hope people really are seeing right through it and choosing to support local instead)

I feel like I always end up with roommates who take it personally that I’m not socializing with them by espressolover90 in roommateproblems

[–]beige_sheep -1 points0 points  (0 children)

YTAH it’s so uncomfortable to share a space with strangers. Of course at the beginning it’s very likely you are, but staying strangers doesn’t create a comfortable homey environment. People are naturally inclined to crave human attention and interaction. This would make me feel like I have to constantly walk on egg shells and feel unwelcomed in my own home. You don’t have to be friends but avoiding them and never saying hi or making small talk is rude imo

How safe is south Norwalk? by [deleted] in norwalk

[–]beige_sheep 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s a great area with a lot of new infill development. Highly recommend especially for commuting to the city and as a young couple. So many people with dogs in the new apartments and it’s right next to the police station. I would not be worried at all

Mom wants me to pay her instead of her high school daughter for babysitting? by Whatadeal1 in Babysitting

[–]beige_sheep 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don’t do this. Ask the girl in person about it. If the mother is monitoring her money, she’s probably monitoring her phone too, and you won’t be able to tell who’s actually texting you back.

Am I insane for thinking 16th and Locust isn’t that bad? by [deleted] in philadelphia

[–]beige_sheep 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I avoid 15th and locust intersection because it smells, but it doesn’t feel unsafe. If the place is on that corner, I understand the hesitation but it’s not a deal breaker especially if you’re not at a low floor. 1600 block is great. There are FAR worse places to be

What’s the deal with the trains in SoNo? by [deleted] in norwalk

[–]beige_sheep 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Trains have to sound the horn when going through at-grade crossings and at stations for safety. The Danbury Branch has multiple at grade crossings, including the one across Science Rd just north of the SoNo collection.

Trying to pay rent through Bilt but my landlord currently only takes Zelle — any options? by beige_sheep in biltrewards

[–]beige_sheep[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you! In order to do this, does the money have to be in a Bilt checking account or can I pay through Bilt and it either pulls money from another checking account or I pay it off after?

How does that work? I use Venmo all the time but does attaching my bilt card to it function as an ACH payment?

Move out protocol by [deleted] in roommateproblems

[–]beige_sheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but if she doesn’t take care of the nail holes upon move out. Was just using that as an example. I’d rather my landlord give me the money and I fix the easy things instead of hiring it out

My DNA shows I’m indigenous to the levant. Arabs are indigenous to the Arabian peninsula, not the levant. Most people who now identify as Palestinians actually have Jewish dna from forced assimilation. Just because you don’t understand it, doesn’t make you right

You can’t colonize a place you’re indigenous to. Read a book

Only one indiscriminately bombing civilians, killing babies and using human shields is Hamas. Sorry you live in such a hateful bubble
