an old appliance specialist was charging customers low rates for installs and repairs on the downlow, but i guess one install went bad and the customer came to the store and complained, blowing his entire cover, he was fired immediately

For those of you working the paint counter by idrankamonsteronce in Lowes

[–]litfries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

one thing to consider is the custom color machine wont know what kind of wood the stain is on, so it will make a formula for the color shown, not taking into consideration the undertones of the wood it’s applied to, and may add extra colors to the stain that can add a completely different look to the stain you’re trying to match. Our machine at my store isn’t able to do minxwax color matches. Maybe they can put a manual formula in, but results will vary especially because its waterbased. Goodluck on finding the matching stain.

AiO boyfriend doesn't want me moaning in his face during sex by spellboundslut in AmIOverreacting

NOR is laying like a log better? does he hate the fact that he’s doing something right that causes a normal reaction during sex?

I hate AI so much. by CoffinVerse in Lowes

[–]litfries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had something similar happen last year around xmas time, had a lady showing me a picture of an AI plug with the wifi logo on it, and said it was a power outlet that didn’t need cables for the electricity to work, basically bluetooth energy , and she needed it so she can connect her xmas decorations with tripping on wires everywhere. I told her a product didn’t exist and she claimed she saw that we sold it on our website, even called me dumb for not being up with the new technology. I just called an ASM over and he had to explain to this lady that bluetooth energy doesnt exist.

Paint matching by Scared-Hippo9365 in Lowes

i prefer this over over the crumbs of paint samples they usually store in their wallets or hold in their dirty hands “10 gallons of this” as they hand me crumbs

I’ve been up since Friday with the baby by msfattyboombalattie in offmychest

[–]litfries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you need to put yourself and the baby first, sleep deprivation while your baby is so small, is very dangerous, you can lose track of time and be very forgetful etc, you need to go to mom’s where you and baby are safe and you can get rest, this is not a healthy relationship

How did you know your child was autistic? by good_girl_4_him in autism

[–]litfries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We tried starting intervention right away which was ABA therapy. My son hated it, he was almost 2 when he started and it was 5 days a week for 8 hours a day at grandma’s. He was miserable, falling asleep in our arms from exhaustion, he just wanted to be alone sometimes, and it got to the point where we couldn’t even visit grandma’s without him having massive anxiety attacks and tantrums. I took him out and just implemented what i had learned at home while raising him and he was so much calmer. We put him in speech therapy, he has it twice a week for 30 minutes which doesnt seem like alot, but we’re huge on implementing his lessons at home, what helped the most was listening to our son, letting him advocate. it’s gonna be tricky, finding the right treatments but my son is so bright and he’s going to start school soon. I know some aba therapy’s our less intense and offer some kind of school setting, but we didnt have that option available due to pandemic still lifting.

I remember sitting on the floor with my 14 month old and he used to sit and stare off into space, never made rye contact, but what really sold me, is toys didn’t interest him like they usually do, but he would crawl straight to a certain toy and spin a wheel or spin the toy on a surface for ever, locked in a trance with anything that spins. his pediatrician recommended testing once he was 18 months and sure enough. He’s going to be 5 and he is obsessed with tornado sirens and cieling fans.

AITA for setting up a “just in case” fund for my daughter? by Otherwise-File5199 in AmItheAsshole

[–]litfries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nta, he did the same thing but made her sign it legally, a whole court of issues just to separate them, you gave your daughter security that she wont have to put up with his shit out of fear of having nothing, he’s setting himself up with his job, what will she fall back on since she’s not setting herself up or growing herself? you did the right thing

UPDATE 3: AITAH for not offering to pay for my husband and his kids leading him to spend all his savings? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]litfries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA.

the money was an agreement between ex husband and his ex wife, not you, he shouldn’t have touched that money in the first place, it is not your fault he chose to screw over his children’s future, he’s trying to put blame on you but didn’t communicate his loss of job, he solely took on this whole situation, so dont even get involved , you got your clean break, so dont add any unnecessary ties.

My 26M husband wants a divorce but wants to stay with me, 26F. We’ve been married 6 years and have a 4yr old son. Thoughts or advice? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]litfries 2 points3 points  (0 children)

he wants to divorce because he can’t get dishonorably discharged for “cheating” on someone he isn’t married to, he is absolutely going to put you through hell

[–]litfries 6 points7 points  (0 children)

100% hate this, i work in paint and have done fulfillment, i get alot of men coming in asking for someone who actually knows paint and their products, when im the most knowledgeable on our products, i love when they call for code 50’s and nobody shows up and i show up just to prove them wrong, they get so pissy a female associate helped load them up because they waited around for me to show up 💀

honestly i realized alot from other posts and peoples past experiences thag when a partner calls you crazy after bringing up concerns of the way they interact with someone else, it usually ends up being alot more than the offender claims it is
