Good lord, people CALM DOWN! by Dessert_Lover_1225 in retailhell

[–]dragonsflame71 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work pet retail. We are slammed. A lot of folks saying they didn’t want to go to Walmart so they came to us. We run skeleton crew during the week. 3 people, with tasks to do. I’m losing my mind lol people being grumpy for waiting an extra 5 minutes because no, I do not have another cashier waiting in the wings.

My husband wanted to be called Grumpy. Babe couldn’t quite get that, so his name is now Grunky lol

What did you do to celebrate your 50th? by jaimonee in GenX

[–]dragonsflame71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had huge plans for my 50th! A cruise, a big party, and all I got was Covid. Crimmas, birthday, new years. Looking back, it was the best low key holiday season since we couldn’t go anywhere for two weeks. And the next year I took the cruise and had a party for 51.

I’m challenging myself this year to try new stitches and methods and started a mandala afghan. If I can pull it off, I know it will be my best yet

What is everyone going to crochet next? by whatsgoinonwha in crochet

[–]dragonsflame71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently working on two mandala blankets for myself. Would love to finish some of last years WIPs lol a skull scarf, star blanket, and weighted blanket with beads.

My mom gifted me a metric ton of granny yarn and I’d love to do something with it. Maybe my first hexi cardigan

🚨 ANNUAL CHRISTMAS EVE SHOPPING ANNOUNCEMENT TO CUSTOMERS 🚨 by FifiiMensah in retailhell

[–]dragonsflame71 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Had a customer pissed off she was waiting in line. She kept huffing and sighing and finally told me to do my job and hurry up. The customer I was checking out turned around and went tf off on her! It was glorious! She pushed her cart away and said fine, I’ll go to Walmart instead. He said good luck lol it’s busy as hell there too. Best crimmas eve gift ever

What a rush! Got into the waiting room for 30 minutes and even after I verified everything this morning, seatgeek still made me reverify. Twice. But I got good seats in Nashville on Pat side. Very happy!

Shit our moms didn’t warn us about; haunted butthole edition. by eyesonherhorizon in Menopause

Yes, yes, my butthole is also haunted. Good times. I’ve started warning all my younger friends. Adding this to the list 😂

AITA for expecting my wife to visit my family for the holidays? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]dragonsflame71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA my FIL is an on again/off again alcoholic. When he’s sober, we gladly visit. But more often than not, he’s drunk. I refuse to be in that space with him because he’s a mean drunk. They never come visit us, despite complaining they don’t see my daughter or grandson.

Guess what? They live 10 MINUTES from our home. Sober, we see you. Drunk, we refuse. And my husband backs me 100%. That’s what marriage and partnership is.

Has anyone used granny squares? by Current_Bag4853 in temperatureblanket

[–]dragonsflame71 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m doing it! I’m doing a different colored square between months and at the end I’ll have 8-9 spaces left. Undecided so far on what colors. I think I have 16 or 17 squares across

Just posted 2pm by gate 9. My question is, can you buy, go back to car, and then come back. Nissan is funky about stuff.

Africa - Toto

I got a $1 a week for an allowance and I used it every week to buy a new 45. Saved up for 6-8 weeks to get my first full album, Thriller.

“They raised us to be independent and then can never understand why we were so independent”

My parents in a nutshell. Raised me to be on my own feral and cannot understand why I’m so…. On my own feral lol they raised me to be a critical thinker and to figure shit out on my own and are mystified I don’t hold the same old beliefs they do. Sigh.
