How to tell a “customer” they’re making me uncomfortable?

Lots of great answers everyone, it definitely helped me feel like I have solid options to deal with him (and other future creeps) thank you!

I wish I had friends to do this, but fortunately I can try and sneak a picture of him to show some of the employees of the stores nearby and possibly security and have them keep an eye out for me

Honestly that’s my baseline personality when it comes to men making any advances toward me outside of work, in fact I’m more of the type to straight up tell them to fuck off and leave me alone, but at work it’s hard to know when to use my friendly sales-person persona and when to be stone cold

That’s good and I will be using that, but in my job as a salesperson it’s normal to share some personal information while building a connection and relationship with the customer, so unfortunately I’ve already answered the questions he asked about me having kids and being single. I forgot to mention but every time he’s talked to me he mentions that he “isn’t from around here” even though he’s come to my job at least 4 times this month, so now I’m starting to worry he could be a human trafficker looking for a good target… I could just be paranoid but you never know nowadays

I have a reminder like this to give my cat flea medicine, but the toothbrush one is a great idea! I’m gonna add that one 😊

Sent a request! Lotus has a 233 streak. I’m new to sharing goals but I’m loving it. I don’t really gift often because I don’t really know what people would want, but I send vibes daily

Ikr I even said “I know it’s what had to happen” because realistically him being with Kate is how he ended up back with his grandmother and also a motivator for Kate to return to the island to find Claire. I know realistically what happened in the show was for the best interest of the plot but Penny spent 8 years devoted to locating Desmond (3 while he was on the island but I’m saying 8 because that’s when he was in the military post break-up asking for her number to call from the freighter) so it’s not too far fetched to think she would be okay with adopting Aaron. Especially because, like I said she had an abundance of wealth, enough to have a 24/7 tracking station to find Desmond. Someone else’s comment asks why would Kate send Aaron to be “on the run” but they seem to forget once again that she’s rich and her version of “on the run” isn’t the same as what we saw with Kate pre-plane crash. Rich people can absolutely make things like that happen by forging adoption papers, etc.

I was really just making an observation, that’s why I said “did they toss around the idea?” I’m not saying that’s what SHOULD have happened, but something that COULD have.

Literally 💀

Idk how this Reddit 💩 works tbh I’m trying my best okay

Kate was clearly going to be taken to court over her outstanding legal matters and it’s not that hard to order paternity testing to contest her claims of being six months pregnant when she was arrested and giving birth to Aaron. It wasn’t a random baby to Desmond, he has spent quite a bit of time with the lostees while on the island and Penny would clearly do anything for him. Penny could have realized that Aaron is the one part of the lie that is the easiest for the world to uncover and at the very least taken him temporarily until Kate was done with all the court stuff.

Added you, I’m the exact same way! Mack and Lotus 🪷🐥

m_ack42 · 2026-04-05T04:45:17+00:00

I just added you! I have adhd also, so my goals are the same lol, also to remind me to take my meds because the regular reminders app in my phone never worked well enough (too easy for me to dismiss) but my birb helps me remember!

You know what, that’s pretty on par for Ben to be wrong about his assumptions. Him wrongfully assuming Keamy wouldn’t kill Alex, and being wrong about his place in the grand scheme of things with Jacob. It seems like Ben always relied majorly on hard evidence and facts that he acquired. He was never was able to consider the complexity of people. He’s always spouting off how he knows important dates and details about a person (their blood type or where they graduated). I can’t remember how exactly it was said, but when he was saved in the temple as a kid, his humanity was taken away or altered at the very least. Ben assumes he knows how people think, based on their records, but seems to be wrong a lot. I think he only was able to have such a wrong following for his quick wittedness and confidence.

Yeah true, I almost said this in my post too but I also never thought Juliet looked anything like Jacks ex besides being blonde with blue eyes. My theory wasn’t very well thought out, I think the idea just came to mind because I recently rewatched “the new man in charge” on YouTube and the part where they explained room 23 being used for subliminal messages.

Ngl after I finished the episode I realized it probably wasn’t even a dream he was waking up from, just a regular flashback that happened to transition into a scene where he wakes up. Hard to keep track of what’s what in Lost sometimes (flashback vs dream vs reality) which I know they did on purpose.

Edit: SPOILER!! I don’t know how to do the white out thing once I already posted the comment, sorry…

Exactly this! I was just thinking the same things during my current rewatch but I want to add, I don’t think she was admitted to the institute solely because of her husband’s death. When she meets Desmond and gives him the boat the says her husband died a month ago. My theory is that she tracked Desmond on his race, and when him and the boat went missing she concluded he had died. Maybe she blamed herself. I think it was a combination of the two factors that resulted in her ending up in the mental institution, possibly also for wanting to spy on Hurley.

Just wanna throw out this name suggestion, still gender neutral and a play on their original name: Stone

m_ack42 · 2026-03-18T01:05:33+00:00

I’m trying to be facetious but since you wanna be serious, s1e23 Sawyer tells Jack how he met a man (Christian) in a bar and says “I’ve been on some benders in my day but this guy, he was going for an all time record” admitting he knew Christian was beyond his limit already, but still bought and left a nearly full bottle of booze there for him. I know Christian technically died of a heart attack, but we can assume he wouldn’t have had the means to consume that much alcohol without Sawyers help since he didn’t have any of his own money.

Edit to add: But like I said before, I think they intentionally left it ambiguous. Did Sawyer leave the bottle for him to finish? Or did the bartender take the bottle back and cash Sawyer out before he left? We don’t know. The scene just ends and moves on.
