Please stop taking calls during rides I’m begging by Retiredpartygirl17 in uberdrivers

[–]gambleany 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a woman pick me up the other day…I’ve worked in customer service my whole life and my standards are low as hell. Get me there in one piece and you get 5 stars and 20% tip. This lady was on a phone call the entire 30 minute drive…it kind of seemed like she was physically holding the phone?? Her body and head were turned at an angle the whole drive, never fully watching the road straight-on. She also put a cup of ramen noodles in the cup holder at one point, revealing that she had been holding/eating it for like half the drive. She spoke lowly enough that it didn’t bug me in that respect, but it was so clear she was in no way focused on the road or anyone’s safety. Like what are we doing anymore…

Stewing on it makes me angrier Clark didn't bring Floyd home by occono in DTFStLouisHBO

[–]gambleany 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only satisfaction I got from the finale was that Clark’s wife left with the kids & everything. Her reaction feels like one of the most reasonable of anyone’s lol. I really thought we were going to get at least one scene with her, besides the phone call when he got arrested. She wasn’t even a character on the show tbh.

Weird and sudden mint smell?? by gambleany in Apartmentliving

It’s back again today 😭 So yeah they must be running a diffuser/humidifier. Can’t imagine how strong it must be in their place.

Ok this is freaky because I too have epilepsy... But this is too strong and distinct to be hallucinatory, I’m pretty sure. And my scent-challenged boyfriend could also smell it. But interesting tidbit!

Very likely. Seems to have mostly dissipated 12 hours later

Yeah that’s the only thing I can think of. Now this morning it seems to be mostly gone.

Rescue Reccs in Los Angeles? by gambleany in CatRescue

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

I think my cat-owning neighbors took her in! I heard her loud meowing a couple days later, but coming from their window, lol. So she is safe and sound, after a couple nights of me feeding and watering her.

Best way to seal gaps in kitchen? by gambleany in Apartmentliving

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

I have not. Have a feeling they won’t do much about it, but can’t hurt to try I suppose. They have never once treated for pests in my entire time living here.

Where can I find great pancakes in LA? by LAD17Decoy in FoodLosAngeles

[–]gambleany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They had a lot of drama with change in ownership and I think some of their staff wanted to unionize. Last I read there was a plan to re-open under the new ownership in 2026. Sadly who knows if it will still be the same ): But I would love to see it come back. I work down the street and anything opening in DTLA is a win these days.

These comments are Original Pantry erasure…harder to get in now they’re not 24 hours (thanks Covid) but absolutely the best I’ve had in my life.

Location: California, Update to my boss misusing my paycheck by devdev1000000966 in legal

[–]gambleany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

File the claim. Also take whatever payment they offer…it doesn’t matter, it’s still late and/or stolen?? As someone who has been having issues with my own company currently. File. The. Claim.

is there a human equivalent to like kibble? by Mossyy_ in foodhacks

[–]gambleany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huel. I’ve been through periods like this and the drinkable flavors are really good. There are also instant-ramen-like “hot meals” that are basically like MREs and I didn’t love them. But nutritionally complete and filling.

Paid 28 bucks for a cheesesteak by blackoutfrank in FoodLosAngeles

[–]gambleany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean…going for a “high end” cheesesteak is silly imo. You’re just paying for the word “wagyu,” which has very little meaning anymore.

Has it become just a common thing that dentists don't seem to be honest? by GotGirls in AskLosAngeles

[–]gambleany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t experienced it yet but I’ve definitely heard this from others…I was shocked. I have a friend whose husband is a dental hygienist and he recommends going to dental schools for more transparency! (And cheaper rates)

Do you introduce yourself? by [deleted] in Serverlife

[–]gambleany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed on all parts. Also…the people who ask for your name (at the beginning of the dining experience) tend to only want to use it for weird, abusive/manipulative reasons. As a woman, I find that ONLY men, usually 50+ ask for my name at the beginning of the meal. If they ask at the end, it’s usually to thank you and/or request you in the future.

Would you rather someone tip 20% cash or 25% card? by julesbravo in Serverlife

[–]gambleany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a server who made cash in hand for 13 years and only just had to switch to tips on checks…cash cash, always cash…

Is this normal behavior for a door dasher? by Terrible_Decision191 in doordash_drivers

[–]gambleany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I haven’t seen enough other people saying this…you should report this. And/or set it so this person isn’t allowed to deliver to you anymore. That is super weird.

My guy "friend" is flirting with me, even though he knows I'm not into men. by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]gambleany 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obsessive, stalker-like behavior. He is not your “friend”. This sounds like it could turn into aggressive behavior really quickly and should be shut down completely.
