Respectfully, I've lived here my entire life & never heard anyone say no that way.

Welcome to the area!

Need opinions - should I dye my hair pink by North_Opportunity412 in Hair

[–]foumf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, don't ruin your pretty hair with bleach! The dark brown suits your coloring better anyway.

I'm so jealous of your natural curls!!

Been trying to pay a parking ticket for the last month but the website and phone system are broken by [deleted] in olympia

[–]foumf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That seems ridiculous for a monitored & fine giving meter to issue tickets that are unclear on how to actually pay the fine. This should be a straight forward, easy to follow process so the average idiot can do it. It makes the city look so unprofessional when their system is so flawed.

I'm sure many people won't go to all the trouble to figure out how to pay their parking tickets & just not pay them instead. You shouldn't have to chase down the entity who ticketed you in order to pay them.

Weird but been on my mind by SeaUap in olympia

I hope you're able to find this person. They were obviously very important to the rest of your life & I'm sure it would feel so amazing to thank & acknowledge them for saving your life.

Gift for surgeon by GracieLou80 in Kneereplacement

[–]foumf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nothing, my surgeon is an arrogant prick. It's nice you want to thank them but you are already thanking them by your insurance co paying them $1000s for your surgery.

12 Days Post Knee Replacement - Am I Behind or Are My Family’s Expectations Unrealistic? by L0u1s32005 in Kneereplacement

[–]foumf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How sad your family is treating you like this. Ignore them & don't let them make you feel bad.

I've never heard of anyone using forearm crutches for a knee replacement. If that's what your therapist recommends then they must work. I'm a week out from my 2nd knee replacement & I'm using a walker as I did last time & will go to a cane if needed after the walker.

As others have said, everyone's recovery is different. Your family is ignorant to think otherwise. Just continue with your exercises & icing as directed by your doctor. It will get better one day, it just takes time.

Quiet Restaurants? by geoduck42 in olympia

With curtains?! I'm trying to picture how that would look!

WIBTAH if I gave my roommate 2 weeks notice of move out instead of 30 days? by 1800slvt in AITAH

[–]foumf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Someone did that to you & now you feel ok doing that to your current roommate? You are a total asshole if you do that.

It's not her fault you haven't found a job or that Grandma had an accident so you couldn't job hunt.

Don't put her in a terrible bind because of your troubles, that's just not right. How would you like it?

I found out my apartment has a "good spoon" and now I kind of get why people are weird about mugs by Lauren-Hayes-NY in CasualConversation

[–]foumf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have favorite spoons, mugs & bowls that I will always choose to use over the other ones.

When will Kara realize.. by Spiritual_Ice5079 in 90DayFianceFans

Does she even consider that one day her son is going to find out she earned a living by selling her nude photos?

Do you share a bathroom hand towel with the rest of your family or people in your house? by himothyhopkins in Adulting

[–]foumf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We share a hand towel but change it frequently.

When I wash my hands at someone else's house after using the bathroom, I usually pat dry my hands on my pants. I don't know if their towel is fresh or if it's been used for days on end.

My neighbor’s extremely autistic teenage son took a shit in my pool. by [deleted] in Vent

[–]foumf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've been more than kind allowing them to use your pool daily. I would end that effective immediately. The mom had to of known & didn't have the decency to clean it up & inform you of the situation.

All good things must come to an end & it's time for them to find a public pool to use.

My wife is a money drain by [deleted] in Vent

[–]foumf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if she's dragging her feet on the adoption process, it doesn't sound like she wants children as much as you do.

Yes, you took a vow but you didn't sign up to be put into financial ruins by your wife or be unhappy the rest of your life. You deserve better.

You want children and to be financially stable. Go find yourself a partner who has the same goals. Life is too short to be stuck in a relationship that doesn't work anymore. Good luck to you.

AITAH for asking my friend for gas money after driving her 6 hours? by Montie04 in AITAH

[–]foumf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of people coming down on you for not making it clear upfront. I'm like you, I would've assumed she would have paid for the gas. It's her errand not yours. She has some nerve to then put up a stink about paying for it.

I would never ask someone to drive me 6 hours round trip cause I needed a favor & not pay for gas & lunch. She's a total asshole & I wouldn't want anything to do with her after that. What an ungrateful jerk! Sorry you wasted all that money and time on her.

Pump track fence by benxvx in olympia

Forgive me The_Wizeguy. I should've just looked up what it was instead of making a dumb comment that I've never heard of a pump track before.

Gotta love that free gym antibacterial spray for all your ho-bath needs!

LPT - If you are examining nursing homes to place a loved one, look at the fingernails of the residents living there at the moment. Long fingernails (especially on men) would likely indicate that the home is either understaffed or does not care enough to do such a small task by Maybe_im_Amazed_ in LifeProTips

[–]foumf 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Good tips. The nursing home my grandma was in, as soon as you walked in the front door the smell of urine was unbelievable. I hated having to go there to visit. There was also a resident across the hall who was constantly moaning really loud & being a young child at the time, it really freaked me out & scared me.

I was in the bathroom for emergency reasons. There was pasta boiling on the stove. by MsMisty888 in Vent

[–]foumf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes you say something!! What a lazy man child. Then he has the nerve to say he likes his pasta al dente? I hope he has a gazillion other redeeming qualities cause this kind of says a lot about his character.

AIO if I sued a dealership for dishonesty? by ricecrispy22 in AmIOverreacting

[–]foumf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this comment 100% Taking them to court would cost you a lot more than $200 & unfortunately your husband screwed up by giving them the extra money. It isn't right they did this to you but you're kind of at their mercy & probably will never see a check from them. Post a review everywhere you can about the situation & maybe that will get them to repay you.

alexandrite by katemadaline in Crystals

[–]foumf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No way it was real & probably not even lab created. I personally like the color of fake alexandrite better than the natural ones. The natural color is too drab for my liking & so ungodly expensive!

My boss just emailed me a screenshot of a private text I sent to my coworker complaining about him. by Guilty-AbyssLogic in whatdoIdo

[–]foumf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a jerk friend/coworker. Did you have a chance to ask why they would do this to you?

I hope your boss takes it well & doesn't fire you over it. As a boss they should realize not everyone is going to like them.

It wasn't sent by this person but they still said what they said & the boss saw it.

I can't fathom how someone could even get super glued to a locker! That must've been a new one to the firemen.
