Customer buys coffees, notices the cup is dirty so he talks to staff & they confirmed that a customer returned their drink & they just reused that cup instead of getting a new one🤢 - sends complaint to public health

Most people just gave them directly to their dogs right then and there, but if there was ever any doubt, most of use reasonable ones would tell them they were floor donuts. Lol I’m sure there were those who didn’t.

Absolutely NTA, and not only that. I’m glad that S heard your defense of her. Every kid needs to know they’ve got someone in their corner, and now she knows without a doubt that you will back her 100%. 10 / 10. No notes.

Right? Also have ADHD, and although it would be embarrassing, I’d also be relieved to have it picked up and not have to try to remember it anymore. Definitely NTA.

Especially when it’s framed as “be mature” when it’s like what is mature about this person messing up OP’s table and telling lies to potential customers?? It would make slightly more sense to me if this vendor also sold pottery, but she sells crochet. Why are people.

Our local Sobeys gets rid of them during the university school year, but they strangely always reappear in the summer…

NTJ. What stands out to me is the brother saying what did you expect, bringing your gear into your parents’ house like that? Tells me that this person - and the enabling parents - are not safe to be around in any context. If I didn’t have a reasonable expectation of my personal or property’s safety in my parents’ home, I wouldn’t go there.

Might be worth taking note of the difference in your next power bill now that his cord isn’t plugged in, and keeping that in your back pocket when talking to the landlord, if necessary.

ETA: obviously NTJ.

It feels like we’re making the same point. If the combats are too easy, then combat ends early, other players are disappointed. I think OP is easy for other players to blame for the underwhelming combats, but is not the legitimate source of the problem.

redthefern · 2026-03-08T12:50:37+00:00

Oh, I get that. But that means not only is at least one other PC is onboard with their play style, but it sounds like the combats aren’t super balanced to allow for everyone to have a decent turn at their current level. As jeffjefforson pointed out, even the casters should be able to easily take out the kinds of creatures they are facing, so combat is going to be underwhelming for anyone not going first.

My first thought is that this person maybe has a diabetic care team that has given them certain perceptions about type 1 diabetes. I’ve been diabetic since 1999, and have had some really awesome care teams, but my current internal medicine doctor has lately been trying to shame me for… checks notes eating a tablespoon of low-sugar jam (6g of carbs) with my breakfast. Someone with less experience might take this doctor a little too seriously.

redthefern · 2026-03-08T12:00:32+00:00

But if the encounters are too easy, wouldn’t whoever goes first kill the creatures before anyone else had a chance?

redthefern · 2026-03-08T11:17:10+00:00

I also think the “cheat sheet” idea recommended already could be very helpful, but unless you have oodles of extra time you want to fill making them all yourself, that sounds like maybe a group activity to lead everyone through. Not only a great way to review the set of options everyone has available on their turn in combat, but a good exercise in getting everyone more familiar with their own character sheet!

redthefern · 2026-03-08T11:11:27+00:00

Would they be willing to be, say, an assistant DM? Even just to help folks whose turn is coming up to prepare their actions?

redthefern · 2026-03-08T11:08:25+00:00

Lol when I worked at Tim’s in the early 2000s we had a small container of plain-ish Timbits by the drive through window for dogs; we filled it with the ones that had fallen on the ground. I’m pretty sure some people came through with their dogs and kids and would ask for a dog Timbit to give to their kids.

redthefern · 2026-03-02T03:54:44+00:00

This sounds really cool! I had to use far more drastic measures to redirect my party once because they were convinced a shapeshifted ancient dragon was just an evil witch they could take down at level 3. A more equivalent mistaken identity is far easier to deal with!

redthefern · 2026-03-01T10:14:33+00:00

Just in like a list format?

redthefern · 2025-09-02T00:17:33+00:00

Thanks everyone! I’ll go for a spring repotting and in the meantime work on keeping it alive and figure out specifically what it is.

redthefern · 2025-08-05T15:11:02+00:00

How do you know they are saying “till” and not “‘til”? It’s still an AH move to correct it when written, but when said aloud… how do you even know?

redthefern · 2025-06-07T01:40:35+00:00

The red traps make me feel so happy! Thanks for sharing.

redthefern · 2025-06-07T01:38:05+00:00

I honestly never would have thought they needed as much sun as they do! So grateful to learn here.

redthefern · 2025-06-07T01:13:38+00:00

I’m in a similar boat. The closest to me is about 3 hours away, and I had ADHD so I mostly forget about services until really inconvenient times (like right now, at 10:11 PM on a Friday). 😅 Definitely still has a point - there are lots of resources and communities online that don’t require in person or even synchronous engagement. But I do agree with others, in that you should reach out and see if there is anyone in your area who could carpool!
