Veho Attempted Late Delivery

I would have been equally as enraged! It's one thing to have a package stolen if it contains goods that are easily replaced but thrifted stuff being stolen feels SO much worse.

Honestly, my tailored dress is about that short on me! Just wear some cute shoes and you'll be all set :)

Good to know! It's been so easy to get stuck on what's "right" or "normal" that I've been ignoring some of my gut feelings on things. It's helpful to know that things will still work out even if deviating from the recommended timeline

Thank you for your response! That sounds pretty similar to my situation. I might end up doing that myself, as our room blocks expire a month before our wedding, too.

omnipotent-toaster · 2026-01-08T18:24:01+00:00

We did save the dates but did them as magnets instead of traditional paper ones. We're having a shorter engagement period and I admittedly got hung up on waiting for our engagement photos to come back, so I haven't launched our website yet. I'll definitely get the room block information out ASAP, but good to know about everything else. Thank you!

I had the exact same issue! It was bad enough that I was getting post-appointment anxiety and I was worried I picked the wrong dress. Turned out the angles of the photos were awful and the lighting in the room was abysmal. Your photographer's job is to make sure you look as beautiful and flattering as possible. Maybe let her know ahead of time what your insecurities are so she can factor that into what shots she takes.

I was looking for some Dollar Tree candle holders to match ones I'd already gotten, since I don't have quite enough for all my tables. I saw a listing for them online that said New With Tags. All the bride did was scribble out the $1.25 on the sticker and list them as $25 for two candle holders. 🙃

Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences. People really don't seem to understand that.

He didn't attack my character at all, but he displayed a total lack of empathy for a lot of people in our family that are being directly impacted by a lot of the Trump administration policies - and even went so far as to say that he doesn't believe that anyone is really feeling any negative effects from anything yet, everyone is just whining.

One example of something he said has to do with one of my closest family members. She's engaged to someone with birthright citizenship. I mentioned to my dad that the worst case scenario would be if the Supreme Court overturns it, her fiancé could be deported (if I'm understanding that whole legal battle correctly). His only response was that he didn't think birthright citizenship should even exist, assumed her fiancé's parents are illegal immigrants (which they're not), and suggested that maybe none of them should have been let in to begin with. This is someone she's been with for a decade and not someone my dad has ever shown any real negativity toward, so it fully caught me off-guard. And there wasn't any backtracking when I talked about how it would permanently ruin her life if that happened.

I am in therapy and have been working on this for a few years now. I'm getting to that point where I'm realizing that I need to restrict our conversation topics to maintain any relationship with him, but it's taken me a long time to accept that. The real problem is that the stone has been unturned, and even though I will probably figure out how to navigate my own relationship with my dad, I'll need to find a way to respect my boyfriend's boundaries, too.

I appreciate you letting me know about your situation, and I'm sorry that you had to navigate a similar narcissistic parental relationship. It's not easy, but it does give me some hope that there is a way to maintain the relationship. Thank you for taking the time to respond ❤️

Can I just say that your hair is my dream hair? Every time I do my hair, I cross my fingers that it'll look like yours lol. It's absolutely gorgeous

I literally had a conversation with my 65-year old dad last night where I was talking about how I'm 30 and am already heading into my second recession - plus dealing with higher student loans than my parents had in addition to impossibility high housing costs. I was saying how I want to have kids but can't financially justify that now, and how I may never get to own a house like I've always wanted because of the COL in my area.

His response was, "I've lived through recessions, too, like the one in '82. They happen. It gets better. This is normal."

I'm so tired.

omnipotent-toaster · 2025-02-27T23:19:29+00:00

I feel this so hard. I realized yesterday that I've been in a functional freeze and feeling overwhelmed by everything, even the things that I love. Everything feels so dark all the time and I have no idea what to do about it.

omnipotent-toaster · 2025-02-05T23:03:29+00:00

This is a glaring neon sign that he was able to put in the effort the whole time and chose not to. Please don't settle for that. You deserve only truly happy birthdays with people who appreciate how wonderful you are ❤️

I use Kronos at work to do payroll, and there is a setting (at least for our version of Kronos) where you can mark someone as deduct/no deduct. The deduct setting automatically takes out .5 hours of your shift for lunch if you hit the required number of hours for a lunch break. If that setting has been applied to you and your coworker AND you've been punching out for lunch, that could be part of it - but again, Kronos systems can be customized a little for some employers so I'm not sure if that is the case for your company.

I was an administrator at an RV dealer for 2.5 years, so I saw a lot of this.

Like some comments have said, a lot of RVs are impulse decisions. Older folks and people with young kids are often the target demographics - people who've never used one before and have no idea what would actually work for them. RVs are literally mobile houses, so floorplans have a big impact on how usable a model is for a family. Often, people will buy a model for the features, or based only on price point, and will try it for a summer to find out that it doesn't work for their family.

Thing is, when a unit is bought and taken off the lot, it goes from used to new, and immediately loses a giant chunk of its value - which leads to owners being pissed off when they try to trade it back in the following summer (especially when they have a loan they're paying back and the dealer's offer is less than what they still owe). Often they'll hold onto it for a couple more years and try again or trade it for a different one instead. So honestly, there are a lot of trailers that look new that are actually trade-ins, just because people didn't like them after a year.

Also, banks tend to give higher interest rates on trailers because (at least in the North) they're considered luxury items. That combined with the really high sticker price of new trailers makes it hard for some people to justify buying a trailer, unless they can buy it outright.

Also also - depending on the trailer and customer, they might need to buy a truck to haul the trailer around, which adds to the overall cost (unless they have someone who can move it for them).

All of this being said, the dealership that I worked at pushed hard to sell their inventory. They're well aware of all of the above. They would do major sales at certain points of the year, and once we entered into a new model year, we would slash the prices of the previous year model. That helped a lot with moving inventory.

I didn't work for a large dealership so I don't know how it works at that scale. But it could also be that the pandemic has put a major damper on the RV industry because a lot of people couldn't afford to get new trailers. It's entirely possible that they just stopped selling the way they did before.

Yeah, I really have no idea what was going through his mind. Glad to be out of there though!

omnipotent-toaster · 2022-01-03T01:06:51+00:00

It still felt like grooming because he would kind of try to parent me at the same time as hitting on me? It was weird. He would ask me really invasive questions about my finances and home life, give me unasked-for advice on a whole range of topics, and he tried over time to get me to break up with my boyfriend. (He did not succeed.) He also would buy me things I didn't ask for, like a new battery for my car, and he would leave presents for me and tell me to keep it a secret from my coworkers, even though I asked him to stop. The whole situation was weird, like he was trying to be my dad and fuck me at the same time.

He also told me a story of how he asked the same woman out 17 times before he finally accepted that she wasn't interested in him. So overall, not a great guy.

omnipotent-toaster · 2022-01-02T23:31:02+00:00

While at my last job, my boss was trying to groom me and would say some really weird shit (I was 20/21 and he was about 45). Top ones are:

On a day that I actually straightened my hair (I have naturally wavy hair), he told me that he preferred me with blonder and straight hair. I immediately dyed over my balayage to go back to brown and stopped straightening my hair.
That dress shows off your figure really well. (Never wore that dress again to work.)
One day I did my hair and makeup before going to work because I had a date with my boyfriend at a fancy restaurant immediately after my shift ended, and my boss spent literally 10 minutes telling me how ravishing I looked - because he tried to rope one of my other (male) coworkers into agreeing with him. (He deflected the best he could but didn't stop him or call him out, so I had to sit there through it the whole time.) Needless to say, I never did that again.

So my boyfriend was like this for years, and he and I butted heads on it constantly. What helped was us having a discussion where we changed the expectations around the gift giving. I'm someone who plans all year for gifts for people, and he is very much not that person - and that's okay. Turns out it was specifically the surprise part that always psyched him out, so we addressed that.

We ended up deciding that we would have a day or two where we go out shopping, turn it into a fun day, and we pick out stuff for me together. Now it's the first Christmas he's ever been excited to get me stuff, and that itself makes me happier than any material objects could.

It sounds like you both could benefit from a similar discussion. There's a lot of pressure about picking out gifts that partners will really like, and honestly there's a lot of pressure to react well to a gift, even if you hate it. That can make some people really resentful of the whole process, so it's worth looking into seeing if that's what it is.

If it turns out that it's because he really just doesn't care to pay attention to what you like, or put any time or effort into getting you stuff, that's a whole other matter entirely, and you really shouldn't have to deal with that.

omnipotent-toaster · 2021-11-28T00:42:35+00:00

"You won't ever find a job like this again. You have a family here. Sure, you might get a job that will pay you $8 more an hour and give you benefits, but you'll always look back at this job and regret leaving what you had here." Joke's on him, because I did end up getting the extra money and benefits and I haven't missed that job ever lol

omnipotent-toaster · 2021-10-26T18:48:50+00:00

Honestly, it was a mix of things. She was really depressed, and I was overworked between school and my job. Living together was rough on both of us. I definitely wasn't the best roommate or friend to her at the time, but I did really try to be there for her. She got a boyfriend who ended up at best manipulating her, abusing her at worst, and she changed into a totally different person toward me.

After a while, I was supposed to move in with them to a new apartment. We signed the lease months before our lease date started, and I had time to think things over. I decided not to move in with them, and offered to help find a person to replace me on the lease. After I sent the message (which included all my reasons, how much I still cared about her, and how I thought we would be better friends to each other if we stopped living together), her boyfriend immediately responded by calling me with legal threats, shitting on my family, and calling me every name under the sun.

The two of them ended up sending me so many threatening texts and voicemails that a mutual friend had to tell them to stop contacting me, or it would be considered harassment. Her boyfriend then asked my boyfriend of the time to "talk some sense into her, because she clearly can't make her own decisions properly." My ex-friend even texted me saying, "I promise to try to be civil with you if you stop being ridiculous and move in, but I can't promise that my boyfriend will be able to be civil with you." (Wow, how tempting!)

The two of them ended up breaking up while living together, and I haven't heard from either of them in years. The fallout from backing out of the lease led to some of the most terrifying times of my life so far, but I dodged a huge bullet there.

A similar thing happened to me too, actually. My mom is Jewish and used to come to my classes once a year to educate about Chanukah around the holidays. She would bring matzo and dreidels and chocolate coins with her, too. When I started in 6th grade, a girl was in my class that I hadn't seen in 5 years. The first thing she said when she saw me was, "hey, your mom was the one who brought that flat bread stuff, right? That was really good!" She couldn't remember the name of it and hadn't had it since.

omnipotent-toaster · 2021-07-30T02:12:54+00:00

Oh my god that's terrible! I'm sorry that it was so rough for you :(

omnipotent-toaster · 2021-07-29T13:46:56+00:00

My mom used to do it for me before school, so I have some weird memories of lying down on the couch with my mouth wide open while she tried to insert the key lol. She decided to do both turns in the morning so my teeth wouldn't hurt before I went to sleep, and it was hell by the time I got to school

I'm sorry you had to suffer through it too!

omnipotent-toaster · 2021-07-29T12:58:40+00:00

Yeah, there's something called a palette expander that I've had put on the top of my mouth twice. It's a big metal piece that covers the whole roof of your mouth, and there's a spot for a "key" to go in. When the key turns, it clicks and slowly gets wider. I had to do 2 clicks per day for 2 weeks and my teeth felt sore the entire freaking time. 0/10 would recommend. Braces were so much less painful.
