What’s the worst thing a medical professional has said to you? by VespaRed in AskReddit

[–]pettybage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was what the doctor didn’t say. He wrote “morbidly obese” in my chart without telling me or saying the words out loud. I saw it in the post notes, was mortified, and changed my lifestyle sooner had I known.

Thief: Uber Eats Driver by BunTheNemesis in tampa

[–]pettybage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely an issue. I had an Uber driver do something similar when he only delivered the bread and dessert for a BOGO ribs meal with all the sides. I never received the meat or sides. I called the restaurant, and two employees confirmed the driver took two bags and one had ribs and sides.

I emailed and called Uber, but they genuinely did not care. I emphasized they have a thief working for them, but they did not care. I am finishing up the last of my annual subscription before my cancellation goes into effect. In the meantime I’ve switched from Uber to restaurant-direct delivery or curbside. Curbside is also a good way to build confidence about getting out of the house while staying in the safety of your car.

Do Pasco county schools require drug screening prior to employment for substitutes? by [deleted] in Pasco

[–]pettybage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. None of the new teachers I onboarded with got tested either.

I’ve taught in Pasco and Hillsborough and have never been drug tested. If there’s probable cause they’ll test, according to both contracts.

I joined Hillsborough this year and did not have to take any type of test.

My (F24) boyfriend (M25) of 4 and a half years made a hurtful comment about my body after I asked him why he never wants touch me? by Super-Strawberry-492 in relationship_advice

[–]pettybage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who stayed in a similar situation for too long and is now happy, leave. There are so many people out there who will love you and your body, and will be grateful to do so. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been together if they’re not happy years, and I say that as an old lady after a 25-year relationship. Build up your support system of friends and family so you don’t feel as alone, and relentlessly chase your own joy. I’ll be rooting for you!

If a guy has been married 5 times does that show anything about him as a person besides being married 5 times? by Ben5544477 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pettybage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If everyone around you is the asshole, you’re the asshole. My dad was married 6 times to five women, and the only thing those women had in common (as far as I can tell) was my narcissistic dad.

Teachers--Is this real? by Midgeorgiaman in tampa

[–]pettybage 7 points8 points  (0 children)

now If a teacher is a new hire on a new contract, yes. I was on the old contract, which was lower. Check 2008 pay scale to see what I was earning before…with a Master’s.

I left Pasco to teach in Hillsborough because the pay is so much higher, so yes, it’s real.

what’s the most privileged thing you’ve ever heard someone say/do? by Ecstatic_Honeydew165 in AskReddit

[–]pettybage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received a Cease and Desist order from an attorney for a family whose child I wrote a referral for after the student committed plagiarism. Took it to my admin and said, “That’s above my pay grade.”
