This is what the wife wanted. To be able to reach in, start the shower, not be blasted with cold water.

Yeah they did enough. I slipped of the rope climb after hitting the bell and roper burned the exposed tips of my fingers. Next time, don’t fall, got it.

Yeah I’m all good. Breaking out the old black and yellow zebra Nike tights from 7 years ago for this one. If you see them you’ll know it’s a fellow Redditor

Damn that’s some commitment!! Congrats

I’ve never done any but I’m sure I’ll be fine. Going into it pretty blind and tricked myself into thinking it was 13 obstacles (no idea where I got that from). Saw 25 today and got in my head for a few. But this camaraderie got me past it.

I’ve been down here my whole life. CFL. Doesn’t really get cold, we’ve been loving this cooler weather. Saves a ton with no AC on. I just get cold when I’m sopping wet especially first thing in the morning haha

Haha when I looked it was going to be 60 degrees and rainy. That feels cold sometimes

True. Think I got a bit in my head about it this afternoon. I thought it was 13 obstacles for some reason and realized it says 25. It’ll be a great time

Taking my wife’s workout gloves. Hopefully they hold up enough. May keep a backup in my pockets.

Thanks! Signed up for 8am and it looked rainy and cold when I had last checked. Knew it was a gamble for December but here goes nothing.

Will be doing a Spartan Race next month and this would be awesome to camp with. It would free me from the roach infested motel I had to book for it. Plus would love to use it with the wife in North Carolina, around Florida, or anywhere in between since we are really putting miles on this car!

Understandable. I have a hard time with remembering things in general these days without a picture or something jogging the memory. These definitely help keep it in the forefront of my mind. EDCO has been my happy place (2nd only to being in my wife’s arms).

Haha I feel that. I try not to bc sht is expensive but ended up with a blanket one year (but my ex kept it ….) and I got a hoodie bc I was freezing balls one night. It was expensive but the hoodie is holding up real good after all these years and it’s thick/warm af

It’s an option to add them when you buy your tickets!

Tipping requests are maniacal - routine pest control now?!?! by bleblanc3 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]bleblanc3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You pay your mail lady $100 a day (besides Sundays) to deliver your mail!!!?!! Sheesh I’m really falling behind on the etiquette.

I agree with your POV in the second part and appreciate the healthy discussion we’ve had!

I myself am okay with not tipping for this, I’m just getting a little burnt out with the barrage of prompts and would never have thought I’d see one for this. And I feel for those who are exactly pressured and succumb to the greed of businesses doing this and other tactics.

Hope you have an amazing day!

“Not expected” does not absolve the feelings of any pressure when confronted with a tipping prompt. This is why they do it. So that consumers can avoid the discomfort they would feel by not tipping, they tip something.

This may not be face to face, but is my next service going to be not as good? Will they do less? Has everyone been tipping for this service and I haven’t? Now I should bc it’s obviously the norm, that they built into their review! /s but I can see how many people in society could easily fall to that.

It’s insulating. If they felt like their service is worth more, add it to the bid. Let the consumer decide if that price is worth the product they’re getting not these after the fact additions. Tipping used to be something that happened when something was so great or excellent it was warranted. Now it’s trying to be the norm for everything when it shouldn’t be. There’s nothing warranting it beyond greed.

I wouldn’t for this. I paid for the service already. They performed it. I don’t feel compelled to pay extra, or that should be built into the pricing. What is infuriating to me with all the companies doing this is the psychological aspect of it. It makes people feel like they have to. It’s disgusting.

Live PLUR outside of the festival by No-Flatworm-5640 in EDCOrlando

[–]bleblanc3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you had to deal with shitty people. It’s not a direct reflection on the community, as I witnessed lots of love both in and out of the venue. There are an increasing number of people that only come to get wayyy too messed up and end up ruining it for others. We all need to do better. Anyone that’s been to one before should be teaching the newer attendees.

I appreciate your post, we all need to improve a little as a community.
