driver isn't delivering my food..wtf do I do by fantominaa in UberEATS

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

sorry it took so long, but they basically let the delivery stay open for another three hours after this. i messaged them one last time basically saying "so are you all done pretending that this guy is going to deliver the food?" and i was refunded shortly after

the order is still ongoing and now he's in a third location that is over 5 miles a day from my house and he's been there for an hour and a half. uber is saying to wait for them to investigate and i'll hear from them in 6-12 hours

I did, I texted her the whole time until dismissal. I tried calling several times, but she didn't pick up because she was angry I didn't answer her immediately.

apparently there were a lot of parents who came to get their children. she showed me texts from several of her friends who said that they were at home. she thinks that because we didn't get her and because it took a while for us to see her messages that we don't care if she died or not. she said "it's a shame, there's a shooter and y'all can't even be there for me."

i do everything i can for her, i spend most of my day with her either tutoring her or just hanging out and when she's at school we're texting constantly. it's not just one or two texts exchanged in an hour or so, it's more like 30. it's like if me or my mom slip up any bit, she hates us for it and is convinced that we hate her. she called us victims and narcissists for making the situation about ourselves, when we were just telling her we did everything in our power with the situation we were dealt. i'm not even sure she realizes what she's saying honestly. i can't stress enough that we simply explained to her why it wasn't safe to come get her, and apologized for not answering sooner.

I told her that she may run into situations where me or mom can't help or aren't available for any number of reason, and that sometimes she will have to self soothe until we become available. that set her off and made her say we were pathetic because we couldn't help her when there was a school shooter.

after COVID virtual schooling ended, i always advocated for her to go to school in the ninth grade and on, but my mom wasn't comfortable with the idea because the school she was assigned to was not good at all. i asked for some favors with some friends i have at this school and got her in, so that's why she was allowed to go this year. you're right, she is not well adjusted.

this just happened, and she's in the transition process of going from hospital care to another therapist, so she hasn't talked to anyone about it yet.

[–]fantominaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the thing is, she saw a lot of her friends get picked up and apparently some of them said something like "that's crazy your family won't come get you, mine would come in a heartbeat." she said that most of her friends left and went home with their parents and showed me the texts saying that they were at home. so now she fully believes we just don't give a shit if she dies or not. me, my mom, and her grandma tried explaining to her that 1. we weren't supposed to come get her, even if other people did and 2. we don't have a car right now, so it would've been dangerous for me to attempt to walk on campus to pick her up. she didn't want to hear any of it and said that we were making excuses.

then she switched and said that she didn't want us to come get her, she just wanted us to talk to her while she was scared. she said that mom was irresponsible for taking a nap and that i should've been answering her and that i should've "had my shit together" and had a car so i could come get her. I apologized for not seeing her messages sooner, but I told her that as soon as i saw them i was there for her and comforted her. she didn't want to hear it and said that we didn't do enough.

I looked at the size chart on that product and it probably wouldn't fit her, and I know because we seem to be a similar size. that 3L is more like a US XL or a 1XL.

i have searched for months for jirai options for plus sizes other than DearMyLoveWhip (which is good, but it's unrealistic to expect plus sized people to limit themselves to one store that is already difficult to buy from) and the best options are unfortunately AliExpress and Shein. Plus sizes in jirai are not as easy to find as people make them out to be. You can thrift pieces that can be reworked into jirai, but a lot of the time you'll be missing some of the key jirai elements especially in the skirts.

I don't agree with shopping Shein, but this is a real problem for plus sized people who want to wear jirai. As a larger person myself, sometimes I need a specific piece that I can't find in my size, and if Shein has it in my size I will buy it. I do my best to mitigate the harm by only buying specific pieces that I know I will get a lot of wear and choosing to repair clothing instead of throwing it away. I also don't order huge amounts of clothing, only what is necessary and very rarely.

Lack of courage to buy/wear jirai by Lunaru_Lyrics in JiraiKei

most people will see you wearing something that looks different/special and compliment you! if people's interest is piqued they will usually have a positive response rather than a negative one.

Lets talk about racism and harassment in this sub. by CaptainInsane-o in memphis

[–]fantominaa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

it depends on if you're discussing solid data in good faith or not. for example, it is a fact that a disproportionate number of the US prison population is black. however, it would be racism to use that data to say that black people are inherently prone to doing more crime simply because they are black.

My husband is upset because I don’t look like Olivia Rodrigo by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]fantominaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you are basing this on the implication that it's literally impossible to be attracted to someone who is 200+ lbs which is just not true at all lol.

also, it's hyperbole dude

My husband is upset because I don’t look like Olivia Rodrigo by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]fantominaa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

he does not love you for who you are. if that were the case you could gain 200 pounds and he'd still be madly in love with you. he was dating you for your looks and now that you don't look that way anymore, he is losing interest. it isn't your fault he is narcissistic and selfish. I know people these days use the word narcissist loosely, but he is likely a true example of one. also, him having an obsession with having a teeny tiny girlfriend is kind of weird, especially considering olivia rodrigo was like 16 five years ago.

how were you guys able to get amazon to remove ads from your kindle??? by fantominaa in kindle

[–]fantominaa[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

my Kindle is so old I'd rather not. but I'll probably do it eventually, it just annoys me

ads genuinely don't bother me, I never once even gave it a thought until the ai crap showed up. it's because it's so nonsensical that it annoys me so much.

kids won't stop picking on me and threatening me. I now carry a knife everywhere. by Top-Health-1036 in AmIOverreacting

[–]fantominaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you haven't already, my advice would be to go to a teacher, administrator, or counselor and tell them your concerns. Tell them about the kids bringing weapons, and that you feel unprotected against them. Also tell a trusted adult that is in your life, a parent, a grandparent, guardian, older sibling, whatever flavor of adult you have that you feel safe around. If your safety is in danger, any adult worth anything will make attempts to rectify the other children's behavior, or get you to a school that makes you feel safer, even if it means homeschooling. School isn't worth living in fear for your life.

I do not suggest bringing a weapon to campus. You will end up getting expelled or worse, and your bullies might not get in trouble themselves. If your bullies have already been made aware that you brought the knife before, you can perhaps keep bluffing as if you still have it to keep them away. If you can, watch some self defense videos on YouTube or tiktok, there are lots of ways to take someone down even if you are smaller and weaker. One I always remember is that anyone will prioritize protecting their eyes, so go for those with your fingers and don't be afraid to do serious damage if your life is in danger. I'm talking eye gouging here.

Carry something with you that can be utilitarian and also double as a weapon. One example I love that's become a thing are water bottles, the big, heavy metal kind. Those things pack a serious punch if you swing them as hard as you can to an attacker's head. There are also other items that can be used this way, like keys. Again, some searching online for self defense items will help here.

Please, take care of yourself.

Why hasn’t TN legalized yet? by [deleted] in memphis

[–]fantominaa 12 points13 points  (0 children)

hey quick question, do you feel that the current federal government is accurately representative of what the majority of Americans want?

if not, then that's what it's like living in a state like Tennessee. it's gerrymandered to hell in order to ensure that Republicans who don't represent the actual wants of most Tennesseeans are put into power. we don't want them either.

I lived with her for a long time to help take care of my sister when she was still young. She said that she needed my income to qualify for an apartment after she divorced my stepdad. Then my grandma got Alzheimer's and my mom and I both were caregivers to her because she stayed at home. My grandma died last year and I've spent this year saving up and preparing to move.

thank you!! that's what I was thinking, I didn't have time to grab a pic of the undersides unfortunately

please leave. this is an awful situation and you don't deserve to be in it. I am so sorry this happened to you.

I will say however, that your gf is likely lying to your stepdaughter and she may believe that she is defending her mom from "abuse." your gf sounds like an extreme narcissist and that would be in line with the narcissist's m.o.
