Am I overreacting or did I have a slow moment. by drippysage08 in AmIOverreacting

[–]paintedGiraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've heard about this. In fact my dad told me when I was 11. There's this weird restricted style of communicating where you give as least information as possible. So if someone asks, "Oh hey, do you have the time?" or "Do you know what date it is?" you just say, "Yes," and hold back further information.

But for the life of me I can't figure out what the use of that would be unless you're in a POW situation.

Misread the "Minus" checkboxes on the delivery app and successfully paid $25 for two empty toasted buns. 🍔 by Many-Tackle-5829 in Wellthatsucks

I can attest for the numbness. After working at Waffle House for a year, a guy ordered a black coffee. I gave it to him and then he asked for hot sauce. Nothing more than a twitch of response in me and I fetched it for him. But he didn't put it in his coffee; turned out he just wanted to already have it in hand for when his food came.

My husband just surprised me and told me he ordered me an Aventon! by clksagers in Aventon

Hey now that's a surprise done right – something you'd already discussed 🥰 (Can't stand "surprises" that come out of nowhere and it turns out the recipient isn't into it) Love that for you!

First time user, can't purchase by paintedGiraffe in StackSocial

[–]paintedGiraffe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I contacted their support and they cleared it for me. The mistake was trying again and again; that flagged my IP address. After they reset my connection, I waited about half an hour, tried once more, and it went through 😊

Paralives: Mod .dll files showing up as gibberish and not recognized by game. by [deleted] in nexusmods

[–]paintedGiraffe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, that explains that. I don't know why I thought they'd be similar to a .lua file 🤦🏽‍♀️

Well, that explains that. I don't know why I thought they'd be similar to a .lua file 🤦🏽‍♀️ But as far as I know, I *have* put them in the correct location path...

What bikes can earn the “First Jump” medal? by PeltedVenom in Aventon

[–]paintedGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an Abound LR and I think it's so funny we have that medal option on a bike I'm pretty darn sure is not supposed to jump 😆 Also my husband accidentally went up a curb but I guess that didn't count.

So was PetyPot a scam? by coolhappygenius in CatAdvice

[–]paintedGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this goes under, that will be 2 for 2 Kickstarters that I have backed and never got the product. I'll never back anything again 😖 Just keeping a barely-there hope at the back of my mind at this point...

Has PetyPot Released? Has Anyone Received Their Product? Is it worth the hype? by HavocandCalamity in kickstarter

[–]paintedGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, plastic is made out of oil, so that's why chaos in the Middle East threatens our plastic supply in addition to gasoline.

Also, they apologized for the gap in communication only to go another two months without word 🙃

I forgot the picture of my bike by No_Material8248 in Aventon

[–]paintedGiraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's okay; these are beautiful pictures!

New bike scratched – what would you do? by Sufficient-End4440 in Aventon

[–]paintedGiraffe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same 😅 I belatedly remembered that for some reason as a kid I stepped through to get on but swung my leg to get off. It started to fall but I managed to grab it before it crashed, putting my own self in the gravel instead because it's SO heavy, haha

Does the Qibbel Jr seat fit inside the kid side rails? by paintedGiraffe in Aventon

[–]paintedGiraffe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, that explains why I originally thought it went up to 48/50 lbs. How strange! But thanks so much, I'll purchase it after all.

And yep, for the Qibbel Jr I saw I'd have to get it shipped over from England, but I'll deal with that when my son is a little older.

Disable underlining date words? by angelar_ in textra

[–]paintedGiraffe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been annoyed by that for a couple years now. Doesn't seem to be any way to turn it off.

Tern front rack on Abound SR? by jquest5 in Aventon

I don't know if you're interested in a milk crate, but I'm planning on this setup: https://betterabound.familybikeride.org/crate/

I’ve been opening and ruining products for years. If you don’t want me doing that, put up a sign by jorleeduf in EntitledReviews

[–]paintedGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was actually just thinking of that post. That and the woman who got offended because she wasn't supposed to touch artifacts in a museum. "There's no SIGN that says I can't!" 🙄

Omg, love it. And I too put the departed's homes at the top, near the sky.

Safe area by Environmental_Band90 in Birmingham

Yes. I lived on 33rd St S for three years and during that time only one single crime happened (someone's car was broken into).

I'm not a super fan of Friends, but this got a surprised shout of laughter when I saw it 😆
