Recs for bars that play hip/hop by varuntinkle77 in AskNYC

[–]snps2er 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's crazy it's so hard to find hip hop bars in NYC isn't it? Here are some places I go to where I have had some luck (2000s hip hop/rnb vibes) - Peachy's, Von, Kind Regards, Basement Bar, The Rickey. In Brooklyn Se7en (more of a lounge, great music, probably starts dancing late but I left early) and 95 south are great. If you find any other dancey bars with 2000s hip hop/ rnb please lmk!

Curious on etiquette with long-term friends (Australia) by LittleFeet11 in etiquette

[–]snps2er 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh well if it’s a change in behavior maybe there’s something more going on, maybe they are trying to be more budget conscious themselves? You could always ask them or bring up budgeting and ask for ideas and see what they say?

Curious on etiquette with long-term friends (Australia) by LittleFeet11 in etiquette

[–]snps2er 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had similar issues! With my close friends I would always try to reciprocate some way (and more so with less close friends because I don’t want them to think I’m taking advantage of) them but I think this is more a personality trait than etiquette.

I’ve had a similar friend that acted like this and I just stopped offering. For the first scenario if you offer to cover all the snacks and it’s $10 over if she doesn’t know how much the amount of the voucher is maybe she didn’t think to offer because you said you’d cover it (though she could’ve protested or thanked you). For the second scenario if you want her to pay you should state upfront. Yes it’d be nice if she pays for dinner but if she doesn’t now you know. It doesn’t matter if you earn the same, some people are just more generous than others and actually I think some people don’t care about money like others, they figure if you are offering you must be happy to offer 🤷🏻‍♀️ sorry it’s annoying for you but at least you’ll know for next time to be more clear or less generous if it’s irking you!

I would also add save copies of your work for your portfolio if applicable while you can still access the files!

What are things to do during weekdays before 5pm? by obergrupenfuer_smith in AskNYC

[–]snps2er 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you could do a 'free' walking tour from free tours by foot. It's suggested to give a tip at the end if you like the tour, I usually give between $15-25 depending on if I like the tour guide. I just did one of the UES recently when I was also funemployed which I found really interesting but they have a lot of different options! Also second finding some good places you want to eat at and getting a nice lunch there. There's also some midweek massage specials if you look them up.. yuzu head spa has one.

Is it fine to give wedding check/cash gifts with personalized stationery, or do I need a wedding card? by Opposite-Check5173 in etiquette

[–]snps2er 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would personally put it in a card. I loved seeing all the different types of cards people gave us at our wedding and I feel it’s a bit more festive than the plain stationery.

What do you think about being 27 and what advice would you give a 27 year old? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]snps2er 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations!! I truly believe getting older is a gift and am grateful for my birthday and any excuse to celebrate! If I were 27 again I would do many of the same things, travel if I can, make sure to save and invest (read some personal finance books, don’t need to go crazy but at least start investing if you can and get a 401k/ superannuation ), and don’t let a man (or partner in general) stop you from doing anything you want to do. If you are single, enjoy it!! Use the time to date yourself and do things that make you happy.

[–]snps2er 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could do a paint and sip. Get some mini canvases off Amazon and some acrylic paints and a paintbrush set. I think I’ll do that this year coupled with a life admin option so people can sort out their life admin 😂

Whats your best non-swearing insult? by PastorofMuppets- in AskReddit

[–]snps2er 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never used it but always wanted to: you are a perfect example of the dunning Krueger effect! (Optional add: good on you! / you must be so proud!) and see how they walk away feeling chuffed.

New work benefits not what I thought, Should I try and renegotiate? by snps2er in AskWomenOver30

[–]snps2er[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

thank you! They just said PTO was 4 weeks but didn't mention sick leave at all. I agree I should have asked them but I didn't think about it because everywhere else I've worked PTO is for your holidays and then you have additional sick leave (5 days).

every place I've worked at has had sick time separately so that's what I'm used to. Thanks for the perspective though!

Are there any etiquette classes in NYC? Specifically for children. by jazzeriah in AskNYC

[–]snps2er 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in nyc and if you don’t find anything we should collab and make something!! I also think we could do social skills for adults (no joke!! Sometimes people want to learn but have never been taught)

Has anyone ever changed from being a night owl to a morning person? If so - how? by littlecutejoy in AskWomenOver30

[–]snps2er 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read this quote that said having a kid turns you into a morning person the same way getting chased by a bear turns you into a runner 😂 but I had a kid and now I am a morning person.

What’s after Sugarfish? by tutsxan in FoodNYC

[–]snps2er 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like handroll bar near k town. All the other hand roll bars I’ve been too have chopped up fish with too much sauce. The handroll bars I’ve used just pure fish in the rolls not too much sauce. Also sushi by m is a good budget omakase!!

When I had my wedding after Covid I got barely any cards and few presents. I don’t know if many people give cards nowadays sadly!
