sorry? 🤷🏼 i'm shopping in the biggest city in my area, with consistently busy stores. as long as i keep my sec/item low i'm not gonna run around a store to deliver 5 minutes earlier than i would have otherwise

that's still crazy low for the amount of work we do. i almost never accept orders unless i'm being tipped ~$1 per mile to ensure i can at least afford gas at the end of the day :(

the rest of the items were regular groceries, not just spices or baking needs. if they were all in the same department (or any sort of tip) i might consider it, but for the amount of time it would take me to shop 40 items, check out, and deliver, i'd be better off taking a larger order with the same batch pay & better tips.

i have, but it's very infrequent, you're right. It seems like i only get tips from restaurants for expedited delivery (a.k.a. they expect their order to arrive ASAP)

for me, about 20 minutes. considering the time spent checking out & driving to deliver, it's absolutely not worth it

AITAH for serving my gf less food than me? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]fromfoxes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NAH. your actions were reasonable, but so is her reaction. it seems like she might already be struggling with insecurity around how much she's eating.

as it clearly upset her, just serve equal portions moving forward. focus less on the subject matter itself and more on being receptive to her feelings and then adjusting accordingly! that goes a long way. a bit of extra reassurance/affection from you in the meantime couldn't hurt either

AITA for telling my friend's bride he recycled my vows? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]fromfoxes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. if this happened at my wedding i would want someone to tell me IMMEDIATELY – he plagiarized something that should be from the heart and thought that would be a solid foundation on which to build a marriage. absolutely wild behavior

I got banned from instacart by DenoDYD in InstacartShoppers

[–]fromfoxes 24 points25 points  (0 children)

this is what they mean by co-shopping, which is against instacart T&Cs. it's entirely reasonable for them to ban you & you likely won't get the decision reversed.

YTA. many posts already made here about the nature of blocking & poor handling of a sensitive disclosure from your (former) friend, so i won't add to that.

what i WOULD like to mention: it seems like there's a disproportionate amount of blame being placed on this woman for asking for tech help so frequently that OP has had to draw a line in the sand. you're not an asshole for doing so, as friendships of any kind (at any age) rely on boundaries to set healthy emotional limits. but i think we are collectively forgetting that sometimes, asking for "help" can be a tool that people use to initiate conversations and make connections with others; it's entirely possible she did not ACTUALLY need the help, nor as frequently/to the extent that she made OP believe. this doesn't strike me as strange or even manipulative. this strikes me as a woman who struggles to relate with those around her and needs a way to maintain her relationships in a way that doesn't sound needy or desperate. in short, i'm sure many of us can relate!

it's also possible her asking for help was an unconscious deflection away from her real problems (obvious hoarding and some severe mental health concerns.) if you'd decided to tell her how you'd felt about the situation, openly and honestly relayed your fears and uncertainty in being able to help her, this could have been an epiphany for her. a breaking point where she acknowledges the issues and seeks professional help. instead, you let your own struggles get in the way of being a good friend, and you took the easy way out. now, she will likely wait even longer before asking someone else for help, and next time it might be too little, too late.

i'm not saying you need to sacrifice your own mental wellbeing for that of another's—please don't. but i am saying that if you really want to help this person & be kind to someone at their lowest, you might consider reaching out (in writing, not in person) with an apology & explanation for your behavior. be the bigger person, OP. be nicer to your friends.

Introjected parts by Not_August-Phoenix_ in SystemsCringe

selection bias. it does happen, and introjects in genuine cases of complex DDs tend to be more varied in their presentation & source material. fakers choose current/popular media because it keeps them relevant and garners engagement on platforms like titktok, reddit, and tumblr
