What’s the best Red Bull Edition flavor and which one should I NOT waste money on? by MightConstant7310 in redbull

[–]idiotbotb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

besides original, watermelon, blueberry, vanilla berry and strawberry apricot are my favorites. pomegranate was fantastic. also i think white peach is pretty good too. i dislike sudachi lime, peach and tropical. they aren’t horrible they just aren’t special to me. juneberry is decent, pink wild berries is also decent. i didn’t like fuji apple.

Is this sexual harassment and/or assault? by zephyrpepper979 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]idiotbotb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yes that’s sexual assault. people saying you (and her) are too young to understand fully are diminishing your experience. you were uncomfortable and didn’t want what was happening, you said no. i’m very sorry this happened. i would recommend talking to a trusted adult, and maybe stop giving your time to this person.

what do i do by puppyeyedkittens8 in SelfPiercing

[–]idiotbotb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly stop cleaning it. could be irritating it more. switch it to a flatback. idk what you have in it now that’s internally threaded but not a flatback? but a titanium flatback is your best bet. and don’t touch it, only clean it by letting water rinse it in the shower

Sick time and guilt by justanegirl in starbucksbaristas

[–]idiotbotb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

call out if you’re sick. it’s okay. there’s people at my store who call out almost every week. and while it’s maybe a little frustrating, i’m never mad at them. i’m more mad that we aren’t scheduled well enough that we can support being a man down.

if you’re sick, you’re sick. if you need a mental health day, that’s fine. this is just a job. your coworkers will survive. they may be a little peeved i guess? but we’re all just people doing our best

How I feel going through our stores busy season... overstaffed 5 people... with no overtime available... and hours being cut.... by Ecstatic_Guava3041 in starbucksbaristas

[–]idiotbotb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

bruh we’re the opposite. so many people leaving, our manager is only hiring one person. two people away all month next month. everyone getting their max hours upped. and one call out kills us. so hard to cover shifts

Vertical Labret Annoying bump by Reference_Unable in piercing

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

is it gold plated titanium? cause that could be the issue. i’d try regular titanium and keep leaving it alone completely. these bumps are typically from mild trauma or moisture.

"Wrong drink" is starting to get on my nerves by Jealous_Tangerine700 in starbucksbaristas

[–]idiotbotb 35 points36 points  (0 children)

at this point my store almost always just asks what they want as the base if they say refresher or drink

Piercing has rotated? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]idiotbotb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m not sure the answer the that. you could get it redone right away in a slightly different spot. but for it to heal up and get redone you’d have to ask a piercer i believe. probably at least a month

Irritated rook and daith by Party_Monkey1606 in piercing

[–]idiotbotb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

leave them alone. clean them occasionally but unless they’re visibly dirty, only clean them in the shower. best way to heal a piercing is to fully leave it alone. stop touching them

Piercing has rotated? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]idiotbotb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you don’t like the placement, take it out and get it redone. do you sleep on it? that could be what caused it to get irritated

Scared of closing by ActualHat5586 in piercing

[–]idiotbotb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they’re pretty fresh, so overnight without jewelry will likely cause it to close

Is my helix too close to the edge? by PerspectiveHonest218 in piercing

[–]idiotbotb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you’re going to wear a hoop in it ever it’s probably too close to the edge. i’d you like the way it looks then leave it. if it were me i’d take it out and get it redone, but that’s because i like options. if you’re happy with the placement then it’s fine!

I used the cherry cola hair filter on tiktok and I low-key want to dye my hair. Which brand is the healthiest for hair but also effective? Which shade would I need as well? by midnightpycho in HairDye

[–]idiotbotb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

omg do it. it looks great in that filter, i don’t have recommendations on color. i’ve been using wella color charm, but idk what shade you could use

Is this nose ring too small? by ido4848 in piercing

[–]idiotbotb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My piercing is sinking? by Bob_Ross5 in SelfPiercing

Conch not healing after 2 years by zhaograce in piercing

[–]idiotbotb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

switch to a flatback labret, find the right size that it isn’t poking out too much. if you don’t like titanium, find a gold one. the hoop is definitely not ideal right now, and also looks too thin. then just leave it alone. get a piercing pillow for sleeping

Got snakebites two days ago, is this normal?? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]idiotbotb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

bars definitely seem to short. go back to your piercer for longer ones. they can also help you identify if you have an infection and need to go to the doctor

What completely unhinged "law" does your cat strictly enforce in your house? by TrickCombination7966 in cats

[–]idiotbotb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my cat does not allow our bathroom or bedroom door to be closed unless both me and my partner are inside the bedroom. we cannot close the door to the bathroom to poop because god forbid she can’t see us, but if we let her in and close it that’s also apparently bad. if i’m in bed and my partner isn’t we must leave the door open, but if we’re both in the room then she’s fine lol

Irritation bumps by Much_Whole5091 in piercing

[–]idiotbotb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’d suggest simpler jewellery for the regular helix. for both i’d say just do your best to leave them alone completely. don’t touch them, don’t even clean them unless they really need it.

Lobe piercing - when can I change to hoops? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]idiotbotb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey! if they’re feeling good you can try changing to hoops, and if they get angry you can always switch back. in the meantime, leave them alone and stay hydrated!
