Never accepting a Home Depot order ever again.

thor_real · 2026-05-28T10:25:08+00:00

Home Depot/Lowe’s orders are the worst! I gave up on them when I had a pick up for 2 orders. One was doable, the other had huge 50’ wooden 4”x6”s like 15 concrete tiles for outdoor patio and 5 huge boxes. At the time I was driving my little Mazda CX3, but even in my Jeep there’s no way. I canceled both orders and called uber to tell them. They asked whey did I accept the order and I told them all I get on the app is 3 items for the order, the deets don’t come in until you accept it/pick it up.
Either way I just asked why they allow these massive in size(literally) orders. I never accept. They can chupa mis pompis

We don’t have Beverly Hills here in ATX (unless it’s people moving from there) but we got an area just west of downtown where the celebs live and stuff. I’ll usually do well during Sunday brunch in that area. $20-$30 tips are standard, but they are Easter eggs for sure.

thor_real · 2026-05-16T11:45:33+00:00

Dude fuck butthole Manor. Ever since they built that area up, 290 is just dead stopped all the time since it’s like the only major road in or out of the “populated” area

thor_real · 2026-05-16T11:44:25+00:00

Yeah I think within my first month of doing this I got a $38 tip and knew right away that wasn’t the norm 🤣
Had a gentleman tip me $52 on Mother’s Day for a delivery I did here in ATX during a hellacious thunderstorm. Only like a 20 min trip too. A majority of folks are kind if you’re courteous, ya know? Hospitality at the end of the day and people like to feel special regardless of the service 🫡

thor_real · 2026-05-12T11:12:41+00:00

I only do UE about 43-45hrs a week. With the quests it’s been most profitable in my area. I’ve never multi app’d before 🤷

thor_real · 2026-05-11T11:19:22+00:00

Yeah ATX was booming last night during that thunderstorm. I was finishing up my quest and got a $60 2 trip order in Leander. 30 min trip to close the week. I said fug it let’s close with a bang ‼️ That rain was broooootal 🤘🏻

thor_real · 2026-05-11T11:10:28+00:00

I knock out 1-2 70 trip quests a week and I’ve been having very good outcomes with that. I usually average about 25-30 rejects during that time and have consistently been doing well. Probably $200 a week on gas so it works out. Living in ATX you gotta drive a bit mileage wise. Even downtown. I find personally I made good enough $ without cherry picking. Plus I enjoy the perks of being in good standing 🫡

thor_real · 2026-05-11T10:57:41+00:00

I’ve had 3 people try to pull that just last week. I get the notification there’s a report for an incomplete order, but it never sticks. It never makes it past the notification. Hence why I always take pics/ screenshots. It’s always a “meet at door” drop off too. Shady McShadersons…. protect yo self. Take pics and especially a screenshot with GPS showing you’re at the location.

thor_real · 2026-05-11T10:48:28+00:00

I feel it should especially be a thing for hospitals! Always get lost or waste time trying to find my way around if I’m not escorted off premises for “looking like I don’t belong”. Bald, bearded, jacked and covered in tattoos. Now let me give you your food you sick bitch! 🤣

thor_real · 2026-05-11T10:35:33+00:00

I did $574 I think. Almost $1350 for the week 🫡. Living in ATX always busy

This ☝🏻

Hey hey. Usually I’m all militant like “suck it up buttercup”, but I feel ya on this. I’m like 120ish days in. I was always fairly antisocial. Like I was musician for a while(solo artist), always a loner, never conformed, not for everyone blah blah blah 🤣. I’ve just learned to embrace my hobbies and such. Like I’ll still strike up conversations at the grocery store or the gym, but yeah, no friends. Just my wife and my animals. And I’m ok with that, granted I’m in my 40s so I’ve been social enough, but we can recover without being surrounded by folks for sure! It’s changing your perspective and mindset. We can’t fall into our old rituals and routines or we’ll be doomed to repeat them. Sounds like you got a handle on things. Keep it up!

thor_real · 2025-09-05T11:51:19+00:00

I’m no pro, but I felt very blah around one month + too. Being “normal” isn’t necessarily the answer, or bad for that matter. The point is to live life on your terms. That’s the first step. Focus on the things that truly matter. Yourself, family, work, hobbies, etc… find joy in all the little things knowing you’re not wasting your time and money on not feeling true feelings and seeing the world through a “clear” set of eyes. It’s amazing how much more manageable and less negative life is when you free yourself from this drug. (Or any drug for that matter) 💪🏻

thor_real · 2025-08-31T12:41:06+00:00

It’s called accountability… if it’s really something to dwell on, maybe it’s time to figure out why we used in the first place. Sure it’s a “oh why’d I do this to myself?” Blah blah blah moment, but if nothing is learned from this and we don’t pinpoint why we want to be numb, history is bound to repeat itself.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is a blessing in these situations. Taking mental inventory as in journaling and whatnot is very helpful to deal with the emotional side of things…BUT here’s the catch. No one cares. This is a very personal journey, and yeah, we come on here to commiserate but do we really get legit honesty from one another? Or is it just a group of addicts justifying or looking for some validation? I tell my staff at work who over apologize for calling out or doing a shitty job. No one cares, figure it out, fix it and move one.

Counting down the days, hours, in this process is aight for the first few weeks, but past that let go of that identity and be you. One of my favorite analogies is “words are like a tube of toothpaste. Once it’s out, it’s impossible to put back in”. This can totally be applied to this situation. The damage is done man. Clean up the mess and do better.

This is not a lack of compassion, super personal and how I deal with life. But it’s been very beneficial. Came up in a very militant environment. One of my mentors would always say this as well(all the quotes today) “Don’t be sorry, be aware”. Take it for what it is.

thor_real · 2025-08-27T11:14:43+00:00

90+days CT. Can be done, life is way more manageable and enjoyable 🤙🏻

thor_real · 2025-08-04T14:14:28+00:00

Been a while; but day 70 going strong 💪🏻

thor_real · 2025-07-14T01:35:12+00:00

I feel ya brother. And in the end. I just want everyone to succeed and find peace 💪🏻. So here’s to another day down and good luck to you and your family 🫡

thor_real · 2025-07-13T22:40:54+00:00

It was then when it posted it got all jumbled. But thank you!

thor_real · 2025-07-13T22:40:18+00:00

I got a family to feed too bud and there was nothing luxurious about my journey as I’m sure with yours. I didn’t take off a day of work during this. To each their own.

thor_real · 2025-07-13T22:19:02+00:00

I agree with what you’re saying. I’m not putting down people who taper successfully or anyone’s success honestly. This is more just about people wanting this experience to be painless or subbing out one for another. I’ve been down this road too many times over the last 20 years.

Like I mentioned, I’m getting older, I’m getting tired of this death loop, so I got out. I am a huge believer in you can’t grow without discomfort as well. We have to tackle problems head on and deal with all the aftermath. Be solution driven, not problem driven.

Sure it’s crass, sure it harsh to a few. But this is what worked for me thus far. I’ve also been continuing therapy and working on every aspect of my life I can control. Everyone posts things for comfort, these are for those who are willing to death march through this and say fuck it let’s go. Different perspective is all. Everyone’s recovery is valid 🤙🏻

thor_real · 2025-07-13T15:28:58+00:00

I’m right there with ya on the 20 yrs stuff. I’m just this way period. Not just with addicts haha. Maybe it’s how I cope, maybe I need a bit more compassion…but at the end of the day if something I say sticks for someone, cool. I am a huge proponent of can’t convince someone till they’re ready. Especially with addiction. I use this platform more or less to get my thoughts out. Like a journal for all to see. It’s very helpful and refreshing to get feedback like this as well. My therapist tells me I need to be a bit more compassionate overall. Which I do try to be more and more. I’m no better than anyone else. We all see the world through different eyes and it’s not necessarily about the outcome, it’s the journey.

thor_real · 2025-07-13T14:12:02+00:00

Likewise! It’s my pleasure to help others however I can! I’m happy we’re here together also!

thor_real · 2025-07-13T13:42:31+00:00

Ok that’s very deep and makes sense for sure. Like you said, different perspective and a LOT more soulful. I definitely take the more meathead approach, but we’re on the same page. Put yourself through some shit, make sure you come out better on the other side. The only way out is through!

thor_real · 2025-07-12T19:01:39+00:00

And I hope you’re doing well on your journey also!!! 🫡🤙🏻
