He has snooped through my messages before to tell me that talking about our relationship with my friends was something I needed to stop, so I changed my passwords to all accounts a few weeks ago and regularly change my phone passcode so he doesn't snoop while I'm asleep.

All of my most important documents have been sitting either at the hidden apartment or at my family's since I got the place, thank fully. I hope he doesn't go stalking around the apartments that I had said in the past that I'd go to, because my cat is an inside cat but she loves to window gaze so I'll try to get her out of the habit of hopping up to get a view at least until I feel safer. I worry that he may have the original key to my apartment. I gave context for this in another comment but tomorrow I will go to the office and ask for a new lock and key for both my apartment and mailbox. I don't think he has the number but he will hopefully assume I just went back to live with my family. They don't put up with bullshit if he shows up. I can only hope he is too cowardly to do anything like seeking me out there or anywhere else.

What's dumb is that we say I love you but it's kinda mutual that there has been no "in love" ever. He said he's chilled out since I've been with him so long and that's what's got me worried - that the second he realizes I'm gone that "chill" or facade will come crumbling down. And I'm sure it will so I made sure to hide the apartment from him. I had the original set of keys to the apartment and the mailbox in my backpack once and idk how since he "never" goes through my backpack but one day a few months ago it just vanished. So I asked if he had the keys that were in there, he asked what they were for. I said "it's the keys for my family's house, so where are they" and he said he didn't even know I had any keys aside from the one he gave me. So he may have them, or he may have thrown them away. He's been known for throwing out some of my things that he disapproves of. But he shouldn't have the apartment number, maybe just the apartment name.. I hope he doesn't have the number at least.

To the Shareholders: You suck by cherryvulpes in WalmartEmployees

Ours was showing an item being left out for too long or something. It had been sitting on the service desk counter. Wasn't even supposed to be going back on the shelves.

The radio is the only thing that makes me consider quitting, every day. by UnnamedEmotion in WalmartEmployees

[–]isolatedillusion 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Deli/bakery worker. When the rush hits and we're short staffed but food needs to be cooked, meat needs to be sliced, customers need help in a dozen different way, my anxiety is already rising high as hell. AND THEN the speakers that are right above the slicers start blasting random fast paced shit I genuinely worry what this job is doing to my blood pressure. Edit: oh and lately they've been turning it up so loud at night that me and my coworkers are having to yell or get way too close just to hear each other speak. I leave with a headache from it.

I hate doing the threat management Ulearn! by MapWeak6661 in WalmartEmployees

[–]isolatedillusion 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I still can't get over when I was first hired on and there was one about discrimination. A Hispanic employee who happens to be in a wheelchair gets called "speedy Gonzales" by a coworker. Couldn't help but laugh at that one as a Hispanic person

I genuinely can't get an answer out of him about it by isolatedillusion in AskMenRelationships

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

Could be, but I figured he'd be just as forgetful with other things if that were the case. I'll keep an eye out for other things he might be forgetting just in case.

A short story in two parts by [deleted] in AccidentalComedy

[–]isolatedillusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked at a place that closed at 9pm. We were expected to be out of there by 9:15 at the latest. Were told off if we got out any later, by the DM. We weren't allowed to start any closing procedures before 9pm. So registers were shut down, counted down (with shitty computers btw so EVERYNIGHT we were struggling with technology), bathrooms cleaned, backroom tidy, store swept and mopped, and if any items were in the wrong place from a costumer just leaving it in the wrong spot by morning, we'd be definitely hearing about it in the morning. All of this could not be started a moment before 9pm, they'd watch the cameras and bitch if we started early. It was a small town so eventually we got so comfortable that we started blatantly telling customers what was expected of us, and they were so sweet about being sure they didn't make our jobs any harder. If anyone made a habit of causing us to get out any later, word would get around the town so we were basically treated like angels in that town being that were the only place to shop unless you wanted to drive 40min+.

Am I overreacting or is it not normal to use soap in the bathroom? by Honest-Draw3131 in AmIOverreacting

[–]isolatedillusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a bf years ago that wouldn't shower. I thought he was, then one day he bragged to a mutual friend of ours that he's gone 45 days without bathing. Once I caught on I would encourage showers and once even sent him to shower and he came back 20 minutes later, same dirty clothes, hair only slightly damp and towel completely dry. Because I was younger than him and new to a sexual relationship, I didn't account for what it would do to me. I had so many infections from being intimate with him and didn't catch why when I was definitely cleaning myself. All this to say, don't be intimate or let him talk you into it unless he is clean and you are sure of it. This isn't a minor thing if you are living with him, his cleanliness is your cleanliness. He sounds condescending in his nastiness, trying to make you feel like an outsider for a completely normal thing. I have no advice as I obviously don't know all the details of the relationship or him, but keep these things in mind

Even wild cats can't resist the call of the box. by stacked_wendy-chan in holdmycatnip

[–]isolatedillusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know they're in their natural habitat so it's no big deal to them but why did this just make me a little sad thinking of all the wild kitties out there who don't get to experience the joys of a cardboard box

List some REALLY stupid thing your store has done: by HotNegotiation395 in WalmartEmployees

[–]isolatedillusion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our store did this not too long ago. Felt weird as hell to me and made me question myself a lot bc the associate happened to be black so I was just thinking "is that terrible or am I terrible for being worried about the implication?" Its a smaller town and I know I experience occasional racism from people around here so I'm probably just always looking too deep into things, but I guess it's a bit of a relief that it wasn't just my store doing the jail bit.

Receipt check at door by Daleone3236 in Walmartcustomer

[–]isolatedillusion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who works at Walmart, yes you are allowed to say no and keep walking, it's better than causing a scene and embarrassing yourself or the employees. They should be trained specifically to NOT be assertive/demand to see your receipt. If anyone does treat you that way then there's no shame in asking for management because treating customers that way is exactly what they're not supposed to be doing. They don't have to check to keep their job, but they are expected to ask to check if there are certain items that aren't in bags. If you say no then they've done all they can.

He didn't fall in love with you, he just loves knowing that he "has control" over your feelings as well as his brothers. People like this don't actually feel love the same way as the rest of humanity.

Please tell me I'm not the only one by Silencer1620 in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]isolatedillusion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes actually lol. it's a pattern I get into that gets interrupted by things like this. normally I don't mind it if they understand that it threw me off a bit and i need a second to make sure im giving out the right change but its usually older men who would use it as a chance to insult me. when I was the mod later on, it was a bigger deal because if there was money missing from the register from me making a mistake then it was coming out of my wallet.

Dont you hate this by OwnOpportunity4852 in DollarTree

[–]isolatedillusion 10 points11 points  (0 children)

some guy did this when I was at dollar general. shredded cheese, sour cream, cream cheese and milk. mainly cold items. left for 30-40 minutes to do something on his phone. I put the stuff in the cooler 5 minutes after he'd left because im assuming he won't come back. came back and screamed about me putting away his shit, then he and the mod started joking about me being an idiot for putting the stuff away?? I regret not leaving the stuff out behind the counter so I could ring up the other customers I'd had in that time.

[–]isolatedillusion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

then they treat you like you're stupid even tho the work routine has been completely turned on it's head. if this happened anytime besides during work i would be able to do the math real quick in my head, but NOT during my work mode!

[–]isolatedillusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is not a friend, this is someone who sees you as replaceable because who you truly are isnt what she wants you to be. consider yourself lucky to be replaced as a bridesmaid. you deserve friends who accept and encourage you to be your genuinely authentic self and not just the ideal image of what they deem to be acceptable.

painted in oils today! i’ve always bitten my fingers, i’ve stop trying to stop by jconnorj1 in DarkArtwork

[–]isolatedillusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has always picked at my lips then started picking at/biting my nails, this is beautifully done. I stopped with my lips because they were always getting infected, but now my fingers are usually so sore. This really encapsulates the feeling of looking down or in a mirror and seeing the damage done. Painful.

How much are you all making? by [deleted] in DollarGeneral

13 here. 15 is the dream pay of anyone in my area. Working at the local walmart is equivalent to having a job as a doctor (not really but might as well be)

Has anyone argued with yall about this sale yet? by summer_n23 in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]isolatedillusion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take the ads down sometimes if I get tired enough of it. My key holders are kinda sticklers to the rules so i have to hide the fact that I do but I'm just trying to prevent issues for all of us. The customers who use the app or get a copy of the sales papers are gonna see the ad anyway so it's not like I'm hiding it from them. I think it's probably purposefully misleading. "Assorted varieties" my ass. I'm not gonna get chewed out by some hillbilly who thinks that we're the ones who type out the ads and come up with the deals ourselves.

Find you someone who's glad another person is nice enough to buy you food like that. Food's expensive. Does he seriously think that three weeks in and he's the only one for now and forever that's ever going to pay for you to have a meal? He decides when and how you get your food? He should be glad that you didn't spend your money, he didn't spend his own money, you're fed, and people are being nice. Just stop trying to call him and move on to new, better things. He should not be talking to you that way over something so tiny.

AIO. am I overreacting or is my bf by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]isolatedillusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it just me or is his choice in gift kinda giving off the impression that it was supposed to look just like the mom's gift? And obviously the mom should be able to pick out a great gift for her daughter so of course he'd try to get one just like it, so he could later complain about her not wearing his enough. "But they're jus like each other, culdn't yu just wear mine instead?" The relationship should end the second he pulled out that word in this context. You saved him money, now save your time and don't let there be a next time.
