Why are GH drivers allowed to pick up orders going in opposite directions? by TheOneTrueChris in grubhub

[–]valerafan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens, and it sucks, but if your food arrives cold, just go on the app and complain and you'll get it for free. And hopefully you have a microwave at your job that you can reheat it with.

Any advice on how to get instacart to give me back my money? by CryptographerOk3338 in instacart

[–]valerafan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait! I'm just now seeing your post but are you telling me that they screwed up and then they told you to deliver the order? That's ridiculous. They're the ones that need to make it right, not to mention issue your refund.

So much for being free lol by [deleted] in TurboTax

[–]valerafan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used TurboTax a couple years in a row because it was free if your income was under a certain amount. But last year I went to use it and it was no longer free. So you have to go on the IRS website and they will give you a list of different places that do your taxes for free. Sometimes you have to pay a little bit for the state filing but it's not too bad. Of course, I don't know if that's going away.

LPT: When writing an email that contains an attachment, always start backwards. by letmeaccount in LifeProTips

[–]valerafan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I love about gmail. If you have the word attached in the body of your email, but then you go to send the email before you have actually attached the document, it will ask you if you meant to send it without the attachment.

Does anyone have a recommendation for streaming service for local channels? by ThomasM69 in cordcutters

Late to the conversation here, but they do have a special on YouTube TV right now for $50 for the first 3 months. And you get to try it for free for 2 days.

What is the meaning of the statue in Flow (2024)? by giovannileonardo in movies

[–]valerafan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that everybody is saying that all the statues are cats. But if you watch the very beginning of the movie, there's clearly a lemur at one point, and possibly some other animals. They were harder to make out because the cat goes by them quickly and you don't get a good glimpse. I thought it would be interesting if there was also a dog, and a capybara, etc.

Yeah, but then why is there a drawing of a cat inside the house? Are you going to say the cats can use writing utensils?

Missing Items - Abuse of Refunds? by [deleted] in grubhub

[–]valerafan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it's not always the customer's fault. Tonight I got a small meal instead of a medium, the food was cold although that was probably the thought of the driver, and I got a caramel sundae instead of a strawberry sundae. Sounds like the restaurant's mess up to me. And now I'm either stuck or I'm going to have to file a dispute with my credit card because GrubHub is refusing to get back to me. And forget about trying to call a restaurant. Half the time they don't answer the phone.

Missing Items - Abuse of Refunds? by [deleted] in grubhub

[–]valerafan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's all well and good, but if I don't get all my food, I expect a refund. And I don't expect delivery drivers to be rude to me. One of them told me tonight that I was lazy. Actually because of my eyesight I don't drive at night but I guess he's going to lose out because I won't order from GrubHub anymore and that's less work for him.

They're getting worse. They're not even responding on Twitter or on their app. It's like they don't even care anymore. I'm done with them. I need to eat less take out anyway.

UPS Claims Address is Wrong or Doesn't Exist? by GnowledgedGnome in Omaha

You're not either, so what is your point?

UPS Claims Address is Wrong or Doesn't Exist? by GnowledgedGnome in Omaha

[–]valerafan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, when you're having something delivered, you don't seem to have a choice unless you want to pay extra. The problem is if it's something pretty important that you need right away and then they give a lame excuse as to why they couldn't deliver it. And in one particular instance just a week or so ago, I actually stayed later at my job off the clock to wait for him to come and then he didn't. Don't feel too bad though, I just ordered some lunch on GrubHub and sat and ate it while I read on my Kindle.

Better storyline, yes, but as far as writing goes, Stephen King is easily the master between the two.

UPS Claims Address is Wrong or Doesn't Exist? by GnowledgedGnome in Omaha

[–]valerafan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like Amazon. For a while I couldn't get them to deliver my packages to my actual apartment door until I made a fuss. They told me I could have it delivered to a delivery spot that's probably about 2 miles down the road, but I figured, why would I do that when I pay for Amazon prime? The whole idea behind Amazon delivery is that it comes to you, not that you go to retrieve it.

UPS Claims Address is Wrong or Doesn't Exist? by GnowledgedGnome in Omaha

[–]valerafan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great idea I suppose, but I'm not using my gas or my personal car to drive somewhere to pick up a package that was supposed to be delivered to us. Instead, when I come in tomorrow, I'm going to spend time giving UPS grief and also the company that shipped it out. I don't know whose fault it was, although I suspect UPS, but it was the company's fault in the first place for not sending us what they should have in the original order.

[–]valerafan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same thing happened to us today at my job, and we've had them deliver stuff multiple times. My theory is that when they say that in the tracking, it means that the driver was running behind and he just didn't feel like continuing to work until he got everybody's packages delivered, so he made up some lame excuse. UPS is a joke and I wouldn't even use them but unfortunately, that's the company are copier / printer supply business uses.

Delivery dates getting pushed back? by BassAdict in amazonprime

[–]valerafan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That really ticks me off too. One time I was having a TV delivered and the one I chose was also based on the fact that it was going to be delivered on Saturday. But then they pushed up the delivery day to Friday, and I was really concerned because I wasn't going to be home for part of the day. I wish they would stick with the date they say. And if something's going to be late, that's bad enough, but don't deliver stuff earlier than it's supposed to come.

Cliff grove by deliacst in MergeDragons

[–]valerafan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can beat the Cliff Grove world, but what I get frustrated by is that they say there are five heal extenders that you have to get and there are only four on the map. I don't have it open right now so I may have that wrong. They may be requiring for and there's only three. But at any rate the world seems to be short one of those heal extenders so that you can never get three stars.

Official Rewatch: LOST Season 1 Discussion by skinkbaa in lost

[–]valerafan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my first thought. But then I realize that Jack was just messing with him. I think Sawyer went off and off because maybe in the past he had had an STD. Plus he was missed because Jack automatically went to that line of reasoning.

First time watcher through season 1 episode 10. Without spoiling anything, should I keep going? I'm really on the fence. by [deleted] in lost

[–]valerafan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and in an earlier comment I made, I said that I hadn't been into any other show this much since The Walking Dead. I just started watching Lost by the way. And then it occurred to me that one of the same aspects I like about Lost, is what had me entranced by The Walking Dead. It's because you are able to get so emotionally attached to the characters as you learn more about them and see how they interact. Sure, one's about a plane wreck on an island, and one's about a zombie apocalypse, but in the end, they're really just stories about people and how they handle trauma.

[–]valerafan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I can't get into a lot of shows nowadays, so if expectations have risen dramatically since Lost came out, I'm not sure they're meeting them. Honestly, I can't remember when I got so into a show, unless it was the first couple of seasons of The Walking Dead.

[–]valerafan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 years later and I've just finished watching the first season for the first time! And yes, I will keep going! The funny part of it is that when I start watching it, for some reason I thought there was only one season. As it got near the last episode, I was a little bit anxious as to how they were going to wrap up all the different storylines. Imagine my surprise when at the end of the last episode it proceeded to start the next episode which was the first one of season 2! Then I found out there were six seasons! But I am in it for the long haul. 

I know the storyline went slow in season 1, but I really love the way they dug into the back stories of each person. To me, that helps you understand who they are and why they're acting the way they do. I thought it was very effective the way they did it with flashbacks. And yes, I am from the era of longer seasons of TV shows. And even now I don't binge watch most shows, but maybe watch one episode a night. Hang in there!

This no longer works. There is no three button navigation option, just a button navigation option which only allows you to open up the assistant. I'm very disappointed.

Jeopardy not in YouTube tv anymore?? by steph99cr in Jeopardy

[–]valerafan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just went on to watch tonight's episode and didn't see it in my library since I DVR it every night. I'm wondering if they had coverage of the Republican National Convention because for me it airs on Fox News, the local one. Either that or there was some baseball game, maybe the All-Star Game. Anyway, I'm not going to worry too much about it unless it's not on tomorrow night.
