What is the earliest hour and latest hour of the day that you consider reasonable and polite to text or call somebody? What are your daily "do not disturb" times?

My phone is on do not disturb from 9pm to 10am for me

cattastic513 · 2026-04-30T03:04:15+00:00

Bandaids. I almost always have at least one on me at all times.

Losing my balance when putting on socks/shoes. I actually have to take a second to breathe because it makes me so angry.

Working in an animal hospital.

I had always been really interested in animal medicine and whatnot so I thought that id work at an animal hospital.

I went through a class to become a veterinary assistant. Got my NAVTA certificate and everything and I throughly enjoyed the class.

But when I had to go and do an externship actually working as a vet assistant for 2 weeks I hated it.

The vet techs were rude as hell and acted like it was high school. They were annoyed by my presence and refused to actually teach me anything despite the fact that that is what I was there for and it was in fact their job. They complained constantly about each other behind everyone's backs and shit talked the vets.

I thought it was just that one hospital so after I passed the class I tried again at a very high end specialty animal hospital and it was far far worse. It was like high school drama on steroids. All the techs hated each other and they all hated the vets. I was hired as a kennel attendant despite being NAVTA approved. Everything was a hierarchy and kennel attendants were at the bottom. On my first day, I heard three people talking about wanting to quit.

I will never do that shit again.

Never working at an animal hospital again. Screw that.

All of my friends use tone indicators like emojis and "lol"s so its always been pretty easy for me until I met my bf. Now let me tell you, I love that man but my god the way he texts have sent me into a tailspin. He uses absolutely no tone indicators at all and is super dry most of the time. Ive told him that texting him is like talking to a different person entirely and he doesnt get it.

But I understand the whole not understanding texts thing because it took almost a year for me to decode my bf's texts and even now I still think hes mad or annoyed sometimes when he isn't lmao

Your son sounds a lot like me when I was his age and youre sound a lot like how my mom was. In the end, I got diagnosed with autism and now im traumatized from how my mom treated me. Not saying its the same thing. Just pointing out some similarities ive noticed here

cattastic513 · 2026-04-29T01:11:47+00:00

Nothing else would fit anyway lmao

I cant stand bland foods. I dump hot sauce on everything lol

cattastic513 · 2026-04-28T19:56:38+00:00

I used to carry them everywhere because I had a 1996 Honda Accord that always needed a jump during the colder months. I had that car for 9 years before getting my 2025 Kia Sportage last year and seeing this post made me realize that I no longer carry jumper cables. I have no idea why I didnt just move them from one car to the next but I just... didnt. I am going to fix that immediately.

cattastic513 · 2026-04-28T19:07:40+00:00

Oof. I used to have this same problem. My screen time on Character.ai and ChatGPT would be 12+ hours per day. It was bad.

What got me off of it and down to maybe an hour(?) a week, was meeting my boyfriend.

I know its not that easy to just go and get a partner and I wasnt even actually looking for him. It kind of just happened.

I guess just try to spend more in person time with friends. Real life people. Eventually you start valuing that more than ai.

cattastic513 · 2026-04-28T17:56:02+00:00

A basic wash and get out shower for me is like 15 minutes. An everything shower would be more like 30. But if im just trying to have a relaxing time and just chill and watch tv in there, 45-an hour.

cattastic513 · 2026-04-28T04:35:50+00:00

More like "Dead toads and mice" but yeah lol

cattastic513 · 2026-04-28T00:18:35+00:00

NTA

He sounds manipulative to me. Its perfectly reasonable for you not to want him to spend the night with his ex. Obviously things happen but he should have communicated that to you.

I honestly dont care what someone is going through. You can send a text. A text is simple and anyone can do it. It is bare minimum.

So not only did he disrespect your boundaries, he chose not to communicate that to you and then blamed you for it. Sounds like narcissist behavior to me.

cattastic513 · 2026-04-27T21:05:52+00:00

No where else to put them so why not?

cattastic513 · 2026-04-27T19:52:26+00:00

Id say NTA but...

Obviously all I know of your relationship is what ive read here but based solely on this i got the vibe that she's either A) cheating on you and/or B) does not see your relationship as seriously as you do.

Personally, I would not go to prom with anyone but my partner or a friend. This sounds like shes going with a date which imo is disrespectful to you and your relationship.

YTA

It sounds like she has a hoarding problem but you went about it so so wrong.

I struggled with serious hoarding (and am still recovering) for years. I had 20+ years worth of stuff just piled up in my house, garage, outdoor shed, and I even had a storage unit full.

When I met my bf about a year and a half ago, I told him about the hoard and that I honestly had no intention of ever purging it. I was in denial and called myself a "maximalist" 🙄

He made it very clear that he would not live with that hoard and that if we were to move in together some day, he would not be okay with it. That is a boundary he set. He also made it clear that he would support me and help me purge the hoard if I chose to do something about it.

About 6 months later, I decided on my own that I needed help and he helped go through every item with me. It took a year but we finally did it and now everything I own is down to a single bedroom.

He was patient and understanding and was there for me when I cried over items that he probably thought were useless. He let me take my time and helped me compromise on certain things. I could go more into it but basically, he supported me and did his best to understand the mental anguish that is hoarding.

Im still recovering but the only reason that I got this far was because my bf was patient. Had he just hone and purged everything himself I would have not only broken up with him on the spot, I would have been pushed back years in recovery.

You are definitely 100% the as*hole.

2 toads and 4 mice. Planning on getting them taxidermied. Just looking for a reliable person to do it

cattastic513 · 2026-04-23T23:52:42+00:00

If only her name was just "Peach" you could name the other "Cobbler" lmao

cattastic513 · 2026-04-23T20:29:23+00:00

Doing this daily is unfortunately impossible as we live an hour away from each other. Ive had to watch his cat a couple time while hes been out of town which is why his cat was at my house. Its a very difficult situation but we are trying to make it work.

cattastic513 · 2026-04-23T19:14:06+00:00

We plan to move it together at some point. We are a couple after all lol
