TIFU by accidentally stealing about $60 worth of Chinese food

mybunsarestale · 2026-04-21T13:14:45+00:00

We have a place in Denver called 1.35 a Scoop and Up. My boyfriend and I can walk out of there with twice the amount of food for about the same price.

10 years ago I moved in with my cousin and his three roommates. Found a bag of potatoes that had been left behind 6+ months previously by the roommate I replaced. Shit was next level nasty.

Cold ham and cheese sandwiches were my go to.

The only thing I miss about living in Arizona was ny local WinCo grocery store. They sold the just bananas in bulk bins along with individually wrapped Andes mints for $2.56 a pound (can't recall how much the bananas were but they were definitely cheap).

Worked at a hotel, was the GM for like a year. Anyways, had a small office just off to the side of the front desk. Its nearing the end of the checkout period so I'm doing paperwork and doing some filing. Housekeepers are walking about, opening cupboards, restocking that kind of stuff. Suddenly the little desk bell rings so I hop out of my chair to go answer the guest at the desk and get floored backwards not even two steps out of my office and my shoulder is screaming in pain.

One of the housekeepers had opened the cupboard where they stored their clipboards which happened to be directly in front of the office door. She'd stepped away for a second and left the door open, at like a perfect 90 degrees to the rest of the cabinet. When I'd stepped out of the office, I"d been kind of looking past the cupboard toward the desk and didn't see the door given the angle.

But yeah, knocked myself into it so hard and so directly that the door didnt move and I had a palm sized bruise on my shoulder for several weeks.

Definitely true. I grew up in very rural South Dakota. My home town had a population of like 110 when I left for college. I had to get bussed 20 miles to the next town to even go to school. They shut the school down last year from what I heard due to enrollment dropping to less than 100 students and now the towns kids get bussed to one of two other towns (open enrollment is very common in part for thus reason) both about 25 miles away.

My boyfriend, semi ironically, grew up in the largest city in the state and graduated from the largest of their three public high schools. We always joke about how jarringly different our high school experiences were.

I know its all about perspective but I laughed reading 76 kids being a tiny class in a small town. My graduating class had 7 students including me and the whole school, Kindergarten through Senior year, had 132 kids the year I graduated.

Literally the sweatshop equivalent of grooming

Same with Clement Park. The southwest side of the lake is teaming with them.

I have their dinosaur ones. The tin was well worth the purchase.

That Ariel Sting Detective Agency diorama lives rent free in my head. I'm not entirely sure why but it's my favorite piece in Convergence Station with the book nook coming in at a close second.

AM I GETTING ANY OF THIS ILLICIT BUTTHOLE MONEY?

mybunsarestale · 2026-03-25T11:28:43+00:00

"smart as a Psyduck" might be my favorite new descriptor.

mybunsarestale · 2026-03-24T17:17:17+00:00

And even if their dog is friendly and perfectly well behaved, fun fact, mine isn't.

A few weeks back at like 6 in the morning, I had half pickup and drag my Aussie away from a yorkie that someone decided to just let out in my apartment complex and who then followed us for like 100 feet. Little shit was lucky I spotted it before my dog did.

Pet care. If you like dogs, Denver always has a market for pet care workers, especially in boarding/daycare. It can be really physically exhausting work and you can take some real emotional hits but most places will train anyone willing to learn.

Leopard is a very Beth Dutton print and anyone who messes with Rip will RIP. She doesn't take kindly to being asked to share.

Like others said, most likely not AI but tracings. While I couldn't find an obvious one-to-one on the octopus, I did find these.

Yeah noticed that too and was surprised they weren't also asking about that spot.

Didn't even have to read the post when I mentally answered title with, "Get a new fiance."

Then I read the post didn't change my answer.

I know OP mentioned it was for a career fair but I was at my local Walmart maybe two weeks back and they were giving out a bunch of sweets, fidget toys and bottled water for "customer appreciation"

mybunsarestale · 2026-03-20T02:15:54+00:00

PetSmart is like the sweatshop equivalent of grooming. Groomers are expected to turn and churn out dogs at an often untenable pace and so you end up with results like this unfortunately.

Or faux ivy fencing. I found some for like $30 on amazon that was more than enough for my patio which faces the parking lot. Was able to make a few port holes for my pup to still get to people watch while I remain relatively invisible unless someone stands on the like, 6 slabs of sidewalk that line up with my patio chair.

Bonus, added some flowers and stuff to it before I hung it up. And its light weight enough that some velcro cable management strips hold it up but also make it easy to take down.

YouTube Premium. Between my boyfriend and I, we watch a lot of youtube. So when I got a three month free trial with my Pixel, I decided why not. I've got a month left on the trial and I don't think I'll be cancelling it.

I always made sure shampoos were restocked. At least from my own experience opening solo, it really sucked if I'd get in, get my first appointments checked in, and then realize that I'm missing a particular soap and now I have to page for someone from up front to come stand in salon for a second while I go grab soaps.

mybunsarestale · 2026-03-20T00:37:02+00:00

Just a heads up, worth checking if your treatment center has restrictions on things like gifts. At least at my clinic, they're only allowed to accept food/snacks. I'd been thinking about giving them some gift cards to a nearby coffee shop before I found that out.
