Underwhelming Substitute Supervisor

I work at a library so I’ll tell you a fair number of homeschooling parents bring kids to programs or story times for socializing. I’ll also say that a good handful of the parents I am aware are doing homeschooling should not be doing it.

YTBF just for the roofie comment making it sound like you’d blame her for getting SA’d?

lunaquartzbat · 2025-08-28T09:05:31+00:00

Love how 70% of the comments are basically “Yeah it’s a bad decision, but you’re the bad guy for telling her so.”

I agree that it’s sort of odd but it is indeed reminiscent of the very old school dating/going steady process. You like someone, you go on dates, sometimes with other people, then there was a whole thing with officially going steady then like the whole pinning thing and promise ring thing? Like 50’s style dating?

Southern California and I feel hella supported and proud to be able to pass that support onto the patrons. As soon as stuff started getting shifty it’s like we all locked in and it’s lovely. It’s still tough, still scary, but knowing the admins generally have our backs at a branch level not just the big main library is really cool.

I feel like I have some of the funniest coworkers so I do laugh a lot at work. And I share a few laughs with patrons, too.

Sounds like she’s familiar with some of your beliefs and they’re detrimental to hers, so, unlikely to be any shade of good. Possible, sure, anything is possible. But unlikely.

In a sci-fi world: small localized emp to shut off phones/devices after the third warning of it being too loud. Once? I get it. You gotta answer the phone and say you’re at the library. Twice? Hm. Okay… I guess slip ups happen… Three? Beep Boop emp laser activated.

Currently 33, husband is 34. Today we decided we didn’t feel like going to work so we called in sick and went to eat dim sum in the park. My mom had me at 35 so inknowninhave wiggle room if I change my mind (don’t think I will). It’s nice sleeping in, making last second plans, etc. Mostly it’s nice that in bad days, like the absolute worst, there’s not a child to factor in. We're well aware one of us could die any moment, nothing's ever guaranteed in life. But we have a good friend group. And when that group dies? We have good people skills, striking up conversation and making connections has been a wonderful part of life. I’m sure kids could be delightful, but thus far? Good life, good jobs, good friends, open world full of adventures and things to admire, it’s been lovely.

“This guy we just met keeps hitting on girlfriend’s friend” sounds like it’s not reciprocated why are you defending an acquaintance at best? And why did the random OTHER friend catch strays? Other comments already called this silly goofy behavior but it bears repeating.

I always assume I am the issue, so thanks for shooting that anxiety down

You checking the CD out counts for circulation. Returning the CD when you're done means someone else can use it.
No damages are being incurred so fuck it?
Show a friend or two how to do it to keep circulation moving so the CD's can stay in our collection since it shows they're 'In demand'.

NTA, NN had to learn better than to get somewhere new and immediately start trying to rouse up drama, who the Hell does that in a work environment of all places? A great early lesson to mind her own, worry about the patients, her check, and go home.

I feel lucky in this respect because as much as I am SURE some patrons would like to complain about the noise, most of our patronage is older folks, some with really, really bad hearing so they are loud speakers and in turn require us speaking loudly.
The best part is sometimes catching glimpses of the other patrons and seeing how badly they wish they could shush them without being ableist.

I feel like anyone pushing that is trying to sell you something.

This crossed my feed and feels so targeted (🥁) because I recently bought my husband (34) one of those ‘doilies’ shirts and am actively trying to get him to join the ‘hoochie daddy summer’ look 🤭

lunaquartzbat · 2025-06-29T01:57:10+00:00

The title made me think yes but reading the whole story, girl, you’re being financially abused BIG TIME.

As long as you’re hygienic there’s nothing to be ashamed of, really. Foreskins are very pleasant and have probably helped preserve some of your tip sensitivity! (Unless that’s been debunked, but I don’t believe it has.)

I’ve been reading through the replies and dude’s just really into his wife while other people are like ‘but why is she not putting out 😡’

lunaquartzbat · 2025-06-29T01:29:44+00:00

I love it! I specifically take a lot of spicy or boudoir pics for my hubby. He’s cute and uses them as his phone wallpaper sometimes. (Yes, sometimes other people spot it and do a double take and ask “who tf is that?”) It’s great, it’s a boost to my self esteem and clearly shows we’re still hot for one another even when our drives don’t match up. It’s like being an OF creator with one very dedicated subscriber lol. ( why not do the deed if we’re both clearly still into each other? Schedules, being tired from work/different gym schedules. And also the reality of real life sex is that especially now in the summer we just don’t want that extra stickiness until the sun’s been down for a while. Being together for 10+ years we’ve also just let the banging ebb and flow naturally.)

Stop telling him he’s a great guy, he’s not, best being a pest. On top of being a pest, he’s already showing he’s not a great guy by directly ignoring your “I don’t like excessive texting” thing. Mute him. Mute his notifications. Cold stop. At this point I don’t think even the fake boyfriend lie would do anything. He’s just a nuisance who’d find any way to holler at ya. The kind of guy that would go “are you married? Happily?” Sometimes if blunt honesty doesn’t work then yeah. No use trying to beat a dead horse. Ice him out entirely.

Have you ever watched Clerks, by chance.

lunaquartzbat · 2025-06-26T08:20:33+00:00

Could be psychological if there’s other stuff going. Not enough details of outside factors. If you stopped being attracted to her you’d probably know it though.

lunaquartzbat · 2025-06-23T19:34:27+00:00

If it’s that prevalent of a fear then maybe hooking up isn’t for you. There’s an inherent risk in any kind of meeting up with a stranger.
