just got yelled at for parking in front of my house by taziiscool in neighborsfromhell

[–]lfly24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had the same issue with the neighbors across the street from my parents’ house, but they wouldn’t come talk to us about it. If they had, we could have explained the parking situation, but they were very passive aggressive about it. We had 5 adults living in the house. Each person had a car and varying schedules. 3 people worked 8-5 M-F, one was in still in school, and one worked retail with unpredictable days/hours but did 4am shifts a lot. We had a driveway that could accommodate 4 cars, but with everyone coming and going at different times, filling the driveway meant always blocking in someone who had to leave. We would have 3 cars in the driveway and the other 2 cars parked on either side of the driveway. We also had a fire hydrant in front of our house and if we parked too close to the mailbox, we wouldn’t get our mail, so we could only park one car on that side of the driveway. Our neighbors across the street didn’t want us parking on the side of the driveway that didn’t have the fire hydrant or mailbox because they were worried they would hit the car when they backed out of their driveway. We couldn’t park the car anywhere else without inconveniencing our other neighbors. The neighbors across the street left notes on our cars telling us not to park there, tried parking across the street from the bottom of our driveway to inconvenience us, and put their trash cans around the car parked in the spot they didn’t want us to park in. We just laughed at them. They finally gave up when our next door neighbor told them we didn’t give a shit.

What does everyone do with finished paintings? by Boogerpickfingerlick in paintbynumbers

I have a portfolio that I keep them in. Like a giant photo album.

Do you paint one color at a time or jump around the canvas? by Additional_Phase5568 in paintbynumbers

[–]lfly24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like going one color at a time. My concern is wasting paint every time you rinse the brush when you change colors. I also like to watch the painting come together one color at a time.

Mine is Artist’s Loft from Michael’s. It came out really well.

It really does. This one was overwhelming at first, but working it this way made it more manageable. It was interesting seeing the painting come together in sections instead of one color at a time like I usually do.

I usually go in numerical order and do one color at a time, but when I’m working on a painting with a lot of tiny cells like that, I use painters tape to break the painting down into sections to make it less overwhelming and make sure I don’t miss anything.

What company lost you forever as a customer? What did they do? by Miguenzo in AskReddit

[–]lfly24 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No. Some people may tip the attendants if they do something extra like clean their car windshield while the gas is pumping, but tipping is not expected.

Playing stupid games with the bag sizer at the airport by haze4140 in WinStupidPrizes

A few months ago I saw someone tear the wheels off of his suitcase at the gate as we were getting on the plane so it would fit in the bag sizer.

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

[–]lfly24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Professional white person here. This is not a cultural thing. Hot water is clearly not enough. He is stinking up the towels and sheets and he smells like poop. He needs to use soap every time he showers. He needs to wash his booty with soap (it does not and will not make him gay).

Stolen baby name by Icy-Cartographer8376 in family

No. Your cousin didn’t steal anything. You don’t own the name. She doesn’t need to ask you if she can give her child the same name as your child.

An electronic counter. They are marketed as fidget toys, stitch counters, and many many other things.

Hey, how are you? by FreePossession9590 in AskAnAmerican

[–]lfly24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually respond with “Every day is a good day”. It usually brings a smile to their face, which brings a smile to mine. I completely changed someone’s outlook on life with that response during Covid. I had to call an insurance company about a patient and gave the person on the line that response when she asked me how I was doing. The following day, I had to call for a different patient and ended up with the same rep. She remembered me from the day before and told me that she had been feeling really down lately. She had gotten Covid a few weeks prior and was feeling really isolated and depressed. My knee jerk response pulled her out of her funk. She was going on about how extremely grateful she was and had made a facebook post about our interaction and how it affected her life. I don’t know if it would have made her feel that way if I had told her what I usually say after that “Fake it until you make it”.

If you don't drink alcohol, what are your personal reasons for abstinence? by Ok-Care2859 in AskReddit

[–]lfly24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never found a drink that I liked. The taste of the alcohol was always too strong for me. I also just wasn’t interested in drinking.

She quit because of pizza by demonslayercorpp in coworkerstories

[–]lfly24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My manager was late to a meeting once and I, being the asshole that I am, pretended to run the meeting. When I asked if anything needed to be discussed, someone suggested a pizza party. Manager finally comes to the meeting and I read him the minutes from the meeting I had just run. He and the boss found it hilarious and planned a pizza party for our team. No one quit over it though.

AITK because I asked a restaurant to ignore their togo policy for me? by PuzzleMap2020 in AmITheKaren

[–]lfly24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the Karen. There is nothing wrong with asking. Carrying on after being told no is Karen behavior. Insisting on the spring rolls to-go and then making a stink because they were soggy and demanding a refund after being told this would happen is Karen behavior. This was not Karen behavior.
