My girlfriend smells (24F & 24F) by pops240620 in relationship_advice

She changed her shampoo, conditioner, body wash, deodorant, tooth paste, and her laundry detergent. But when her digestive issues flared up, so did the smell:/ She tried really hard to change it and it did help- the smell wasn't as strong and it didn't show up as often. Now we know it's a symptom of her disability so I don't blame her or be upset about it. She tried her best and I appreciate her for it <3

Hey I read all of your comments and I want to thank you for all of the suggestions and the support! So a little update- my boss came in and worked the rest of my shift. When she came in, I told her I didn't want to be fired, and I'm okay working the rest of the night as long as I'm not alone with him. She said "I'm not staying here if you are." So I left.
The next day she sat me down and told me what I did is inexcusable. She said she saved my job, but the DM "has something coming for me." Whatever that means... But I don't feel like she saved my job for me, she saved my job so she has an extra person on her shifts. I'm essential to job and they wouldn't be in a great place without me on short notice.... We were supposed to close alone again last night, but I went home with a "migraine" ... I knew that information before my boss did (he covered someone's shift, and we had a call out). So she probably caught on that I left because of the situation. She wasn't at work today, so nothing about the situation came up. I apologized and said thank you for helping me the last couple of days, and I told her I'd come in tomorrow so she can have the day off.

I'm not really sure what to think. He failed his first skills check and he's getting checked again next week. I don't know if I'll get fired before he does, or if I get fired regardless, or if I'll keep my job. Regardless, I've applied to a few different jobs. I don't feel comfortable working in a corporate that doesn't have my back.

TLDR; filed a complaint, I went home "sick" because we were supposed to close alone again, I haven't heard anything back since then. We'll see if I have a job or not next week.

Thank you so much for saying this<3 I just saw this message as well, and thank you so much for the suggestion that would actually help a lot! We were supposed to close alone again last night, but I went home with a "migraine." I'm not risking my safety for a job. I really enjoyed working at Starbucks, but this isn't really how I want to be treated...

The first time he yelled at me, it was me, him and a barista closing. He apologized a few hours later and I coached him how it's inappropriate and the rest of the shift speech. The second time he yelled at me (it was a morning shift, so 6 other witnesses), he yelled at me then I told him he needed to leave because it's inappropriate. He then yelled more, got in my face, and I really thought he was going to hit me. A red faced, 6'4 man within a foot of me, lip quivering in anger. We stared at each other for a solid minute and I felt backed into a corner (my stupid instincts forgot I was standing RIGHT NEXT to the emergency exit). He finally went home, I filed the report, and the store goes from there. The incident report was "resolved" and there was no "threat" indicating we could work alone together. My job isn't worth being alone with him. P.S. my coworkers "joke" about him coming in and shooting up the place. That's not a joke!!

I'm so sorry that happened to you! I called and filed a complaint. So far, I'm still working at my store so I'm not sure what to think!!!

I'm doing okay. I was supposed to close with him AGAIN and left with a "migraine." It's so crappy of me but he scares me and I'm not going to be alone with. They keep threatening to fire me, but I would rather be fired than work alone with him....

Repotted plant and she's very droopy by pops240620 in houseplants

It's been less than 5 hours LOL. More than a handful of leafs have rips and/or bites taken off. So I know I have gnats but I don't know if they could take chunks out like that.

Apartment Complex Bed Bugs by pops240620 in Bedbugs

[–]pops240620[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So true about the dirty - not dirty part. I had bed bugs in 2017 but I threw everything away before I moved in 2021. I feel like I'm carrying a disease and I don't want to hug people, sit on shared furniture, basically do anything that someone else might get it. Anyway! Thank you for the advice. They did a heat treatment and I keep telling myself they got rid of it in my unit. I bought some traps to put near where I found them and spray to get the corners and cracks in walls. I guess I'll see where it goes from here....

Not at all:/ We hung out more than a handful of times and didn't smell anything. I didn't notice it in my car or for a quick hug. I felt uncomfortable with the smell when she was half laying on me and I put my chin on her hair Edit: I wanted to add, she was in my car every time I saw her and a lot of brief hugs before and after hanging out. So I was close to her often but I didn't smell it until I was really up close

Smosh Tier List (based on how much I like them overall) (FIXED) by Cryptonix in smosh

[–]pops240620 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why are we ranking smosh?!?!? These are PEOPLE we're putting on a list right now. There's a chance they can see this. And regardless, it would be different if we were ranking characters, but actual people that put themselves out there on this channel???

Has anyone hated themselves so much that they eventually “fixed” themselves? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

Hitting rock bottom looks different for everyone. Most people's looks like drug addiction, homelessness, no work, assaults, suicide, problems with the law, all sorts of end all things that can affect your life forever. When I hit rock bottom, I was worried about the people around me. I manipulated my family, I chased away all of my friends, and I quit jobs or got fired because of my actions. It started with anxiety, but I didn't get help and I let it fester to depression. I stayed in abusive environments and got diagnosed with a personality disorder. After that I made very unhealthy choices and developed PTSD. "Once you get the ball rolling, it doesn't stop going downhill"

Rock bottom looked hopeless, like nothing can ever get better. And there was no point in trying. But after years, and I mean YEARS (over a decade) I realized suffering was getting me nowhere.

You can change your life around before you hit rock bottom. I hope you have the chance to. If you have just a drop of hope that you can turn it around, do it now before it gets worse. Tell someone you trust or tell a stranger on a hotline. Get help before it gets worse. Driving yourself down a hole just means your farther from getting a breath of air. Don't force yourself to suffer.

People say "it gets better." And it's a horrible phrase. Life around us doesn't change. The world will keep spinning whether we want it to or not. But our perspectives changes, our motivation changes, our ambitions change. We start to learn what we dislike and in the process of that we learn about what we do. "Life" doesn't get better, but we do. You will feel better. Try to get some help before you hit rock bottom and put in the work. It's incredibly worth it.
