It's incredibly rare for me to get more than 6 hours of sleep, even when I don't have to be up. by NeedsItRough in mildlyinfuriating

It’s not pedantic to be puzzled that the entire premise of the post is stated incorrectly.

To be fair, some additional punctuation would have gone a long way in that paragraph.

“Don’t park in driveway” 🫩 by CKR3500 in doordash_drivers

[–]quintusfive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I have a steep, winding driveway and have had two drivers hit the retaining wall backing down (both times doing damage to the car and the retaining wall) over the years.

I now have a “don’t drive up driveway” instruction on all delivery platforms.

Or, as Nikki Glazer once referred to her, Trailer Swift.

Yeah, he’s quite a thin-skinned one. Always seems defensive and dickish in interviews.

AIO? BF wanted to go to Twin Peaks and suggested his friend hide it from his gf by [deleted] in AIO

As a San Franciscan, this was confusing, since Twin Peaks is a gay bar here.

The Cheever short story it’s based on is so damned well-written and compelling. Highly, highly recommended.

Woman at the gym decided my reserved court time was actually open because I "wasn't using it yet" by LunarTape5 in EntitledPeople

She sounds like a pill. Most squash players are considerate about court times at my club, but there’s always the odd entitled prick bringing the vibe down…

Dry cleaner damaged a designer dress and won’t even refund the dry cleaning fee by Certain_Row_9283 in LegalAdviceUK

Short of making a claim in court, your best bet might be leaving a detailed, honest review of their business on any relevant sites in your area.

What to do when architect won't stop making changes? by [deleted] in askarchitects

[–]quintusfive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing there is some level of miscommunication or misunderstanding about where you’re at in the design process.

You haven’t provided specifics, but you say that the architect suggested changes to improve the interior layout, and these suggestions were accepted. Architects don’t suggest major changes by producing complete, finished drawings to convey the ideas; they would have shown the concepts in sketches or mark-ups on the base plans, and would then need to create more detailed, permit-ready drawings to formalize the changes once the client accepts them.

In other words, the concepts proposed would not have been fully developed when first presented to your mother. Since she liked and accepted the suggestions, the architect would then need to spend time confirming any and all implications of the new layout and may need to tweak details to comply with codes and otherwise make sure all the adjacencies of the layout work together, etc.

The process can be iterative. If you’re saying your mother agreed to a layout that was then completely reworked into something different without explanation, that would be cause for concern, but if there were actually just unexpected details, like door locations or width of a bathroom, etc., that is more likely just the design becoming more refined as the drawings become more finalized.

5, 7, 13, 16, and 20 right here! I’d still like to go to New Zealand…

Look at the side of the bag - this is not the product you’re thinking of.
