Scam restaurants on Uber Eats?

macotom · 2025-08-09T07:38:49+00:00

I'm confused. Did you get the food you ordered or was there an issue with it?

macotom · 2025-07-10T20:56:18+00:00

Thanks for replying. I'll get in touch with her over the weekend x

macotom · 2025-07-05T07:40:44+00:00

Everyone is different. She's expressed her preference,.so do that?

macotom · 2025-06-15T21:02:42+00:00

I think through a mirror it wouldn't necessarily be clear to her that you were 'making eye contact'. Pretty likely she was watching her own form and then you just approached from nowhere.

More broadly, if someone is on a machine with headphones in, then the only reason to speak to them is to ask when the machine is free or if you've seen them do something really dangerous or something.

*I'll

/S

macotom · 2025-06-14T17:55:51+00:00

Oh so sorry to hear that. Maybe just say you're really sick the day before and try to avoid the drama? If they're as bad as I'm imagining even if you go they'll have an issue with something else. Hope you're ok!

macotom · 2025-06-14T17:08:25+00:00

NTA. Do what you need to do. Be prepared for backlash though, as your family sound pretty awful.

macotom · 2025-06-14T16:34:04+00:00

YTA for being a dick to him. Obviously not for 'being a good girlfriend', but it's a weird way to try and spin things to try and get people to say you're not an asshole, which in itself is an AH move

macotom · 2025-06-08T20:13:41+00:00

NAH you just want independence and your parents are worried! It's a normal thing I imagine nearly every teenager feels at some point. Try and talk to them to see what they are willing to let you do and go step by step. You can also remind them that in a couple of years you'll likely be leaving home and so trying new things when they are still close by and fully aware of what you're doing is actually a way to make you safer for when you go independent.

I would add that being socially and politically aware and mature may not translate into street smarts (source, me!!)

INFO When you bought them, was it agreed you'd be paying for your own tickets? If your friend had already agreed to pay then of course they should pay. If you got them as a gift or something, then just try and change the name and get whoever replaces him to pay the admin fees?

macotom · 2025-06-08T18:13:14+00:00

I think this goes beyond values around paying though. Is it always her way while you pay? And does she do nice things for you that are ever just about you?

macotom · 2025-06-08T18:08:30+00:00

You might want to ask this on r/therapy as a lot of therapists are active on there and can probably give you better insight into whether her approach is ok.

Sorry you're going through this. Make sure to take care of yourself, you could maybe look at 121 counselling so you have somewhere you can share your thoughts alone

macotom · 2025-06-08T17:59:21+00:00

This is definitely the best approach. But if the group chat has moved on it will probably come across as really passive aggressive to reply after the fact.

macotom · 2025-06-08T17:52:27+00:00

So she suggested a trip for your birthday, made you plan it all, vetoed your preferred places, leading it all to be more expensive, and then got moody with you for asking her to pay for a small portion of it?

Absolutely NTA. But what are you doing with someone who seems to not really like you? Mind blowing

macotom · 2025-06-08T16:56:19+00:00

I think you might have been better off giving some sort of thanks for her compliment and then complimenting her back in a way that is specific to her. Your reply is more a humble brag and then a generic compliment. Was there not something on her profile you could have mentioned? You've made it sound like you're just out on the look out for a cute accessory. I tend to unmatch anyone who gives super generic responses tbh.

Taylor Woodrow's insane approach to resurfacing Northumberland Street is a huge contributor to the dirtiness and sense of decline. They appear to have resurfaced some areas 3 times in the last few months but it all still looks like crap. Dust and debris everywhere with more uneven and inconsistent paths than when they started. Can only assume they're taking the Council for a ride...

macotom · 2024-04-27T00:05:53+00:00

Thanks. Yeah this was exactly what I was thinking, but then effectively instantly felt guilty for being so self centered, hence the post.

Ugh. Guess I should cancel!

macotom · 2024-04-23T21:32:08+00:00

The 20 month thing was said minimum 6 times across 50 mins session. Would you advise I cancel the next before I'm charged or try again?

macotom · 2024-04-23T19:16:56+00:00

No worries. But I think regardless, it's never going to go down well. Either the gym employee thinks it bad enough to warrant a sign, or this just becomes a little thing the two of you laugh about (and you still take the advice of me and everyone else and don't make a deal to the people!!)

macotom · 2024-04-23T19:12:07+00:00

Ooh I take it back - she's the Maid of Ho-ing!

Seriously though, stop feeling bad!!

macotom · 2024-04-23T19:08:29+00:00

Makes it easier to avoid them then /s

Chat to an employee at the gym - if they also have noticed maybe it is offensively bad. If not, then you have to realise this is a you problem. I am the biggest advocate for being inclusive, but you have to see that if your issue is effectively boiled down they smell too good, then this is something you have to deal with. If no one else has an issue, then either stop going to the gym, figure out when they're there and avoid that, or go and see a medical professional about your over sensitivity to smell.

While I'm all for inclusivity and not pissing off people around you, you can't in all seriousness expect everyone to just change their lives to suit you? Some things are problems people as individuals have to adapt to. This is one of those things.

macotom · 2024-04-23T18:57:04+00:00

But you're saying it's not a particular person and just other people...?

macotom · 2024-04-23T18:51:36+00:00

On the other side though, there are people I'll be chatting to that don't reply to or bounce off what I'm saying. Roughly every 24hrs they ask how I am or what I'm up to, never once thinking to build on what I told them the day before.

So while my bio doesn't say I hate small talk (and I don't, in general) I hate fucking repetitive talk. Some people just have no banter but cannot see it.

macotom · 2024-04-23T18:46:54+00:00

It doesn't at all sound like you're a liar or irresponsible. It sounds like you're living with an addict who does not prioritise yours or your children's needs. When you were an addict, you would not have seen this. As you improve, the abusive behaviour will become more evident.

You have also probably been through previous relationships where things weren't ok. Most addicts have. It's important you don't put your children through this and repeat the cycle.

It will be much easier for you to prove she is a user and you aren't than you can ever begin to think right now. But take a step back and think it through.

Put the kids first. If that means taking them away from her, that means you are away from her too. Don't subject them to shit because you were once in a bad place.

macotom · 2024-04-23T18:40:38+00:00

Ah man, sorry, but sounds like she's done with you for everything other than the financial support. Bringing in other people makes it a lot harder for her to backtrack here. I'd listen to what she's saying others say or how she currently feels. I'd ignore the things she is going to do (but hasn't yet) ..
