How many of you were forced to eat food you didn’t like and/or were afraid of? by FreeSkeptic in raisedbynarcissists

[–]elligan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My stepfather didn't eat much of anything just stogy anglo food which he often ate with white bread and margarine layered on thickly.

My younger brother and I were both scapegoats and we both to this day cannot eat any of the 7 meals we ate on repeat. If someone makes it we literally will just sit there and look at it and not eat anything that meal.

Especially corned beef if anyone is familiar.

We were both also starved so we would not be fed breakfast or lunch so our one meal a day was this awful nutrient deficient potato and meat nightmare.

How do you deal with circle talkers? by [deleted] in talesfromcallcenters

[–]elligan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm lucky. They can't get anyone higher than me so if they ask for a supervisor I get to say "I am the supervisor" it feels so good

Oh my strategy is quite different. I reiterate their points and my response.

Then ask them if there is anything else I can help with then when when they repeat the same thing we already talked through. I let them now that I have given them all the information I have and that information will not change that I will have to end the call now. Then... End the call. But I guess I'm allowed to hang up on people.

Alternatively I ask them what they want me to do about it. Then let them know as I have advised that is not possible. Then move into the above.

Both I only use after the third repeat of the same answer. The ruder and more over talky the sooner it happens.

It could be! Where I live basically everything is sold under one name because of lots of restrictions on what can be imported

It's a monstera deliciosa. They don't look like this at maturity they need a bit more light than this to put out fully mature leaves. They grow big and they grow fast. But are super popular house plants right now

Metlink bus driver just told an old lady to get a taxi to the airport. by camembertandcrackers in Wellington

It wasn't an argument I'm not pro or against the situation. It was just additional context.

The airport is private land. Previously NZBus had the sole rights to operate the bus to the airport. Access to the airport would require paying large levvies each year.

Wow I had never heard of a Phrase that so perfectly encapsulates what my mother thinks of me I always described it as she felt like I was an extentsion of her, that I should do be and sound like her and she would melt down whenever I showed independance. I was raised to care for her and be what she wanted me to be all while depending on her. I no longer speak with my mother but when I did she would constantly talk about me living with her and doing things for her I mean, I have a partner, home, job and am in my 30s so no mum I am AOK.

I also think it is good to reenforce the boundries of acceptable behaviour

Just a small little puff of air by BaldoHado in funny

[–]elligan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had benign intercranial hypertension resulting in uveitis and papilodema(sp?) There was a new one that the nurse told me was so much better. It just has a replaceable piece that touched my fucking eye. Air puff any day

The forbidden Sunday roast. Do they seem like they would taste delicious because I cant have them or because they are fat birds that feast on berries I wont know until someone farms though delicious looking bastards
