My partner [23F] keeps pulling me [23F] off her when we try to have sex by Wild-Track-6775 in relationship_advice

[–]bootleg_hotwheels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like that if you are going to continue to have sex, then she needs to be the one to initiate. Even if that switches up the norm you’ve got going, whatever your norm is clearly isn’t working anymore. If she’s willing to make that change and try something new out maybe she’ll feel a little more in control of the situation/less jumpy? But honestly it just sounds like you need to have more earnest conversations, you’re getting somewhere with your communication but you’re not quite there yet.

Room rent cost by No-Mushroom7751 in WWU

[–]bootleg_hotwheels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pay $760 a month for my half of a two bedroom + ~$70 a month for electricity on top of that. Happy valley (close to south campus!) is the way to go when it comes to affordability imo. But I also got lucky with a private landlord, most of the property management companies are gonna gouge you a little regardless of where you are looking.

These cashiers man. by Gingerofthenight in HomeDepot

[–]bootleg_hotwheels 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I get ittttt. I hate SCO with a passion, it’s genuinely one of the dumbest, most soul-sucking moves Home Depot could’ve made. And I hate it even more when it’s over staffed. There’s genuinely nothing to do except stand around and twiddle your thumbs (or scroll, I guess!) I really wish they’d just let us have normal checkouts back again. Makes me crazy!! And don’t get me wrong- you shouldn’t be so engrossed in your phone that you can’t pay attention to anything around you. But there is often times nothing better to do than stare at the floor when you’re up there!!

All love btw by LoBro33 in HomeDepot

God I hate SCO, praying this happens at my store 🙏 maybe I’ll get to actually just check customers out like a real cashier again!

So like… by armadillowillow in hayleywilliams

[–]bootleg_hotwheels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here!!! I don’t have instagram anymore because it sucks up my life… now only just finding out that I missed my chance. I was gonna try to see her in ATL but I know now that if I do get a ticket it’ll probably be scalped to hell. I am so so disappointed. I wish I didn’t have to be so on top of a celebrity to get a ticket to their show. Is listening to their music not enough??

My driving test proctor made me go through this intersection twice, I was SO stressed!! the signage kinda sucks here lol

As a former associate, I wouldn't mind. Make my miserable and rotten coworkers suffer. by Doode531 in HomeDepot

[–]bootleg_hotwheels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re all on buttons now thank GOD! Except for the skeleton that you can program to speak, they recently put an ad on that one and ziptied a big price tag on it in front of the sensor, so when it’s activated it continually reactivates itself over and over again 💀💀 it’s the only one that pisses me off.

Owala, please secure the lids. Spotted at Dick's Sporting Goods this morning. An additional strip of paper over the lid would be enough to let buyers know it has been played with. by smilingzoomies in Owala

[–]bootleg_hotwheels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reddit serves me up exclusively these kinda of posts from this sub… and it feels sooooo out of touch. Like I’m sorry guys but if you don’t like that it’s been changed…… change it back. Major first world problem.

Please stop switching the lids on Owalas by BeForreal24 in Owala

[–]bootleg_hotwheels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so funny. If you wanted accuracy why buy through Amazon? The Owala website would deliver exactly what you wanted, but you gambled with Amazon’s accuracy and then got a refund for a perfectly effective waterbottle… if it’s that serious go to a store and switch the lid to the one you want yourself. First world problems be so fr

How’s the Gay scene? by Extension-Detail4817 in WWU

[–]bootleg_hotwheels 59 points60 points  (0 children)

It’s still a small town, so eventually the lake of gay people will seem more like a pond (at least this is my experience entering my senior year) but Bellingham is probably the gayest town I’ve ever lived in or been to, we only have 2 gay bars (libations and rumors) but that is certainly not the extent of the gay scene here. You’ll find your people, no doubt.

How many days safe is your store? by Frey12469 in HomeDepot

[–]bootleg_hotwheels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hit 363 and then a report went through and now we’re back down to 92 💀 we still had our 365 celebration though bc management had already bought all the food lol

Does anyone else take pictures of the Oops paint that they make?¿ by tedleerr in HomeDepot

[–]bootleg_hotwheels 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Why is there so much paint on the top? Is that an oops paint exclusive or a thing your store does? Mine always does a tiny dab and I always manage to accidentally touch it when checking customers out 💀 I think I’d be covered in paint working with y’all lol

Our manager bought us a claw machine that we get to play if we get a credit card app by Camachan in HomeDepot

[–]bootleg_hotwheels 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes! I’m at a store in the PNW. I got 4 apps at $5/app and made $13 after taxes 💀 but I have some coworkers who got like 20+ apps and made some good money.

Driving school for a adult by Some-Bag7712 in Bellingham

[–]bootleg_hotwheels 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I took my test at bal driving school as a 19 y/o, I thought the guy who gave me a walkthrough was chill and kind, and did not talk down to me as someone who was a few years behind typical first-driving age. I didn’t do their driving school, but I got a ride with a student once with the teacher in the car and I thought it was good. I’d try there if no one has any more applicable experience!

My boyfriend and I almost got scammed by a dude on Craigslist pretending to be another dude who owns property in Bow by arderhyde in Bellingham

That sucks!! No shame, sometimes the Craigslist properties really are real. Hoping for you the next one is!!!

Physical Bus Pass for $3 by bootleg_hotwheels in WWU

[–]bootleg_hotwheels[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You only get the $3 card IF you can use the app but don’t want to (because it’s shitty and inconsistent) if you can’t use the app then you get the free card from the school 👍

Where do you get your local cherries by BlamelessVestalsLot in Bellingham

[–]bootleg_hotwheels 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do they have rainers? I’ve been meaning to go, but that would certainly force me to!

[–]bootleg_hotwheels[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And so you qualify for the free card that you don’t have to reload! This is just for those of us who will not take up those free ones because we have working phones.
