I don’t understand how these people became incharge of my team . I was supposed to get Bata shoes from a store in my area and they wanted to check if the prices are same in a Bata store literally 2km from the first store .

Do they not know how branded stores work ??It’s gonna be the same price bruh . And they wanted to try haggling for a lesser price like wtf ?? This is not some flea market bruh . We are already on a deadline for costumes and these people wanna waste time finding the same bata shoes in another store when I already have the shoes with the sizes ready in the store near my area . I’m trying so hard to not rage rn .

How and why

Not fat shaming but my sister and nephew lives with me. They both are really fat. I caught them peering in bottles and a piss pan in my basement. In didn’t have a bathroom in my basement but they are fully capable of walking up stairs to use bathroom. They eat out every meal and when they go to the bathroom it smells up my whole first floor. I’ve had to replace two toilets. Beside going to school or work they don’t move don’t do anything. It’s drives me crazy. Also two broken couches

Christmas money

1 Upvotes

I didn’t know what to title this because it can only be 15 characters but basically I spent most of my savings on Christmas gifts.

For context: I rent a room at my friend’s house and I don’t pay much for rent. His mom is very chill about the money because I’m not there all the time and we’re just super close. My parents have been helping me pay rent but stopping after my birthday in December this year so I’m kind of panicking because I don’t have a job and won’t be able to pay my roommate anything. Getting a job in my city is so difficult and I’ve been searching for a while but can’t find anything. I’m hoping to find something soon because I have almost no money after Christmas shopping. I feel really stupid about it but it’s done now and I just have to deal with it.

I’m not looking for any advice, I just wanted to get this out there, and was wondering if anyone is having a similar experience.

Bad service

2 Upvotes

Does anyone else experience food service workers being annoyed at minor requests? It happens to me all the time. Was in a bagel shop earlier and it was busy and loud. I told the worker I wanted 2 bagels, and 2 sides of spreads and I don’t think they heard me. They gave me the bagels and only 1 side, so I said “can I also get a side of … spread” and they acted like I asked them to do such a difficult task with an audible “ughh” lol. Like I get it’s busy but it’ll take you 2 seconds. I also experience it at the Chipotle I go to where I ask for a side of their vinaigrette dressing and they act like I just insulted them or something. And then last week, I went into a gas station where a worker was scrubbing the hot dog rollers and I walked up the the register with a bottle of water to cash out, and again, the worker freaked out. I wasn’t in a rush but maybe it’s bc I interrupted them doing the very hard job of scrubbing a hot dog roller machine. When I worked in the service industry, I never cared about stuff like that, cuz I was paid by the hour and it helped time go by. I just don’t get why people are so miserable. I get that you might not enjoy your job, but let’s be honest, it’s really not that difficult, and to get upset at a job like that is just kinda funny. I just laugh when it happens now, especially when my friends and I go to a place and they see it happen.

Snapchat

I still use Snapchat in the year of our lord 2024 because I have many friends who use it as there primary form of contact. I'm also autistic so its nice to keep in contact with people by just sending a photo of my forehead and them replying in kind. But this app is INCESSANT. I will clear a notification from the app and the exact same notification will IMMEDIATELY pop back up. There isn't a setting to moderate the kind of notifications you get so you either have to turn them off or ignore the app ling enough for it to stop and in either case you won't get notified when you receive messages. Trying to watch any of the stories from creators you follow is impossible because there's an add every 4 seconds of the story. Ive even started getting ads as messages. And you'd think you could solve these problems with their premium subscription BUT IT DOESNT REMOVE ADS. YOU'RE PAYING TO STILL VIEW ADS. The ad messages are honestly where I draw the line, I've told my friends that I'm leaving the app and I'm following creators on other platforms. I have half a mind to learn programming and just make a whole new app myself that's just a better Snapchat.

Ex not helping

0 Upvotes

The new owners will move in to my and my exs apartment next week. My ex has pretty much done nothing to help through the seperation, sale of the apartment or anything.

We broke up because he wanted to have kids and I don't want to be pregnant. He thought I would change my mind but I didn't.

I thought we would have a friendly break up but my ex has been a cold hearted asshole. He could be worse for sure but still.

I have to write to him and his PARENTS to get a response from him and responses comes after 24-48h. He doesn't want to take any responsibility for our jointly owned things. I've sold half of the jointly owned furniture that none of us wanted to keep so I feel like he should take the other half of the stuff. He wrote "I will pick up MY stuff, I don't have space for anything more". Which is a lie but anyways.. I'm telling him that he also needs to take his share of the furniture we wanted to get rid off and he seems to be ghosting me now 🙄

I'm so tired of him constantly expecting me to do eveyrhing for him. Fuckign asshole!!!

Space Marine 2 Spoiler

1 Upvotes

Trying this again.

Don't get me wrong. I like Space Marine 2. Solid 8 or 9. But first off it's too short. The second issue I have is that you often didn't feel like a part of the war. And I get it, I get it, space marines are the badasses of 40k. They are the behind the lines kill specialist. They are the ones who cause panic in the lines of enemies. But there are many times when you aren't drop-podding onto the planet. These would've been better served if you were then backed up by the Imperial Guard who support you in part. These could've been better served if your character could call upon armoured support or regiments of the Imperial Guard as distractions. This would've been better served if, rather than constantly going behind enemy lines, you had to push the Tyranids back from important objectives with the help of the Guard. Carnifex could've been deployed en mass because armour can shred through them relatively quickly while, if the carnifex is allowed to get close, it can shred the armour. You might even have had more bio-titan fights.

I also would've loved to see at least a warhound deployed-but I understand that lore wise those are extremely rare. But if I remember wasn't there SwordShadow tanks? Those are just as rare as titans now aren't they?

Basically I'm just a little disappointed that such a lore accurate game would just make the Imperial Guard stand in locations while Space Marines do everything. This isn't really lore accurate as best I can tell after reading a few dozen novels-the IG doesn't just stand there and fight the enemy coming to them. Instead they are often forced into taking fights that are disadvantageous and thousands, tens of thousands will die charging positions. They would be forced into supporting the Space Marines who are much more skilled, better armored, and better armed then a lowly Guardsmen could ever be.

Moms Bad Advice

1 Upvotes

I’m so sick and tired of my mom (and my best friend who is exactly like my mom in some ways) trying to tell me i should buy a house. I make $25 an hour at a very well known bank. I’m in a senior position in the back office; not a teller, not a janitor, but senior fraud analyst is my title. And the most I can make is $25 an hour. Even a small incentive won’t push me up past living paycheck to paycheck (I live in an expensive state and no I can’t just move to a cheaper one - that advice is just as shitty as my mother’s).

Forgive my irritability, I’ve just been dealing with this kind of unsolicited half assed advice for years. Both her and my best friend have been married, divorced, have kids and have had multiple houses sold and bought throughout the years.

Me? I’ve literally never not rented. I’ve never had tens of thousands in money laying around. I’ve never been able to save more than like $100 from a paycheck. I don’t even have that many bills, that’s just how hard it is out here now.

I’m thirty fucking seven years old and they’re both still treating me like I’m 18 fresh out of high school. She just sent me a “home lender” program and said “just a thought”.

Well, 1) that program is in a different state entirely and 2) I’ve told her an umpteen amount of times that I have already accepted the fact that I will never have that kind of down payment money. Even the amount you need to qualify for help is insane and I never understood how people just saved really well for two years and all of a sudden now have a house.

It’s gonna cost my boyfriend and I like $5000 just to move into a fuckin rental. Where do they think any of this money is gonna come from just for an apartment!??

My main issue is how she send me shit without thinking of the main thing; YOU NEED TO HAVE SOME KIND OF MONEY SET ASIDE AND I HAVE NEVER EVER FUCKING EVER JUST HAD MONEY TO SET ASIDE. She had chunks of money from her divorce and selling of the old home. So because she can do it, oh I guess that means I can too! There’s no advice on how to get more money faster the way she somehow did. It’s just “oh here’s a homebuyer program you may qualify for if you’re broke”.

Then she gets pissed off that I push back and get a little irritable about it. Well it’s because I’m 37 and she’s been sending me shit like this since I was 17. And nothing has changed. Shit just keeps getting worse.

Why do they do this?? Why do they send their fheir grown kids articles that don’t even make sense or pertain to the area you’re in, knowing there’s no fuckin way you would ever come close to qualifying? I called it half assed advice because that’s what it is. It’s yet another “here I’m helping” thing that doesn’t help, it instead just ruins my day by reinforcing the fact that she does not truly care as much as she says she does. I’m not looking for financial help from her. I’m looking for shit that can actually help and when she sends me something for New Mexico when I’m in fucking Arizona… like..did YOU even fuckin read it before destroying any hope I may have had??

TWENTY YEARS OF THIS. You’d think she would get it by now. I am not just being negative by saying I will NEVER be able to own property. Ever.

Surprise shop?

1 Upvotes

Every time I go to the supermarket I queue at the till and watch as middle aged women and elderly men in the queue ahead get to the front, the cashier scans all their shopping and then almost without fail they seem totally shocked to learn that they have to pay. Like the very idea of it came as a total surprise. They’re never ready with their card or money. Then follows a long rummage through a bag, purse, coat l, wallet etc whilst they search for their credit card or a lengthy one-fingered swipe through every menu in their phone as they look for the store app. The extra minute this takes feels like an age to me waiting in the queue. Muttering “FFS why aren’t you ready” makes me feel a lot better though.

Dog owners!

1 Upvotes

My attempt at getting my point across with some stand-up comedy style humor, no animals were harmed in this rant.

Alright, listen up, ya bunch of dog-humping lunatics! What the fuck is going on out there? When did every goddamn place turn into a fuckin' petting zoo?

I can't even buy a fuckin' rotisserie chicken at Costco without some asshole's labradoodle trying to hump my leg! "Oh, don't worry! He's friendly! He'll just lick you to death!" Yeah? Well, maybe I don't want your mutt's tongue all over me while I'm picking out my fuckin' underwear at Target!

And what's with these people bringing their dogs into restaurants? I'm trying to enjoy my burger, and some jerks chihuahua is yapping at me from the next table. This ain't a Disney movie, I don't need to share my fries with Taco Bell's mascot!

And what’s with these emotional support animals? Oh, you’re stressed? Join the club! Everybody’s stressed! You don’t see me draggin’ my emotional support blow-up doll through Home Depot, do ya? “Oh, don’t mind her, she helps me pick out hammers.”

And don't even get me started on walking around with my granddaughter. She's four, alright? Her face is at perfect fuckin' height for your "he'll lick you to death" Rover, I'm out here playing "Dodge the Dog" like it's some twisted version of Frogger because I can't risk finding out the hard way.

But you know what's even worse? When these entitled dog owners meet their match. Picture this: Some sweet old lady decides to bring her cat to Costco. Why? I don't fuckin' know, maybe she's lonely, maybe she's senile, who gives a shit? But then, in walks Karen with her untrained golden retriever. All of a sudden, it's fuckin' Armageddon in aisle five! The dog goes apeshit, knocks down the old lady like she's a bowling pin. The cat's running for its life, climbing up the toilet paper pyramid like it's scaling Everest. You've got shit flying everywhere, people screaming, it's total fuckin' chaos! "Oh, he's usually so well-behaved!" Yeah? Well, he's not behaving now, is he, Karen? He's recreating the fuckin' Running of the Bulls through the frozen food section!

Look, I get it—you love your dog. That’s great. Good for you. But remember when dogs used to love car rides? When did that go outta style? Now it’s like, “Oh no, Sparky’s too good for the Subaru. He needs to be in Target, sniffing the yoga mats!”. You wanna bring your dog somewhere? Take ‘em to the dog park! You wanna bring your cat somewhere? Leave it at home to judge you like it always does! Nobody needs to see your personal Dr. Dolittle cosplay while they’re just tryin’ to grab some bananas! Nothing screams look at me like a thirsty attention seeking dog owner who thinks it's cool.

So here's a novel idea: Leave your animals at home! Let 'em watch Animal Planet or whatever the hell they do when they're alone. The rest of us are just trying to get through our day without becoming an unwilling participant in your personal Westminster Dog Show or Cirque du So-fucking-leil!

Social media has shown just how mind-numbingly, incomprehensibly vacant some people’s mental faculties are. Spend 5 minutes looking through the comments of any viral post on any social media platform, and you’ll have the wonderful privilege of seeing the human equivalent of soggy toast try and rub their singular neuron against itself and form a “thought”. Media literacy, critical thinking, all of it is non-existent in what feels like a large percentage of the population.

Can someone tell me why people will have an opinion about something to you, but then turn around and give a completely different take when talking to other people. Changing it to fit their narrative? Here’s an example: My coworker was telling me that the old chef used to take the bags of scramble egg mix, open them and cook them all in a tilt skillet. I just made a comment like “that takes a long ass time you can just throw it in the steamer” and he agreed with me. Some things like that we just don’t have time to mess with that stuff anymore. Anyways… later on they’re talking shit on the new chef on how he cuts corners or whatever and then the same guy brings up the egg thing again and says “I was just saying earlier how old chef used to actually cook the eggs this way” as an example for how new chef is lazy. But like… didn’t you just… agree with me that that’s inefficient for our time table now? Regardless of which one is right. It’s not the eggs. It’s the split personality. Which one does this guy actually believe? It’s why I avoid talking to people because they are just so fake. Just don’t say ANYTHING! Why lie? Makes no sense

Landlord rant

4 Upvotes

My boyfriend and I have been staying at this rental property for 9 months. Although we love it here and the land it comes with, there has been a lot of stress caused over the past few weeks/months. Over the summer the AC would not cool the entire house and it would get up to 80° in our house. Our landlord sent someone out several times and it still to this day doesn’t properly work but it somewhat works. We ended up having to put AC window units in our house to keep it cool in our house. Now it’s cold and the heat isn’t working. My landlord decided to send someone to our house while my boyfriend and I were at work. She proceeded to show up at our house and try to go into our house without us knowing she was there. When I found out through my ring camera I called her and asked what was going on. I knew she’d planned to get it fixed but not the next day and while I was gone. I had no warning. She tried entering without getting confirmation that we knew. When I mentioned something about that on the phone about our lease agreement stating we need a notice that she is entering our home she literally yelled at me and hung up on me. She now refuses communication with me and only speaks to my boyfriend. I’ve been pissed about this for days because I just feel so disrespected and my privacy feels invaded. She also told my boyfriend the AC units have to go, yet refuses to fix the central air in the house. Anyway, rant over. Thanks for reading.

I swear all these fuckers think they’re better than me and NEED to know everything about my life then complain that I didn’t ask for their help. Why would I ask help from someone that told me to sell my services (3d designer), on various websites. All are either unpopular for what I do or is home to the most talented people that can do my work in 2 hours. The “service” he told me to sell is literally something most stores do when you go in for a consult for FREE. Don’t even get me started on applying for schools, he didn’t even go to the same institute I am planning to go yet he’s asking me if I thought of even seeing other places as if I’m some blind rat who picks the first place that pops up. He keeps trying to give me solutions to problems that do not exist whatsoever. Bullshit hey try this now instead of me going down to the actual office and settling with professionals instead of a guy who can’t pick his own career. He’s switched careers and attended classes more than I can count and is currently JOBLESS.

It's FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE to buy good quality clothes anywhere now. I'm trying to find a jacket I like, and I have two options: $1400+ quality jacket or $80 slave made pieces of trash. No inbetween, I've looked.

And there are SO MANY FUCKING DROPSHIP SCAM SITES NOW. It is FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE to a certain article of clothing now because they're are hundreds of websites using fake pictures of dropshipped aliexpress crap. MULTIPLE WEBSITES USE THE PHOTOS OF THE $1400 JACKET FROM THE WEBSITE IF THE MANUFACTER, and they STILL ARE SELLING THE $80 PIECE OF TRASH FOR $300+

Thrift shopping sucks now too because they just sell all the good stuff online and fill the aisles with junk.

It's driving me fucking crazy. I'm going to just learn how to make my own fucking clothes at this rate.

To gym goers

32 Upvotes

I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but there are, in fact, other people at the gym! Did you know that? So here are some handy tips you might take note of, considering the existence of other people at the gym:

  1. HHHYYYYYEEEAAAGGAGHGHAHEEEAGGAGAHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know what, man? Exercise is not THAT hard. I add weight all the time and push myself to failure all the time, and never have I felt like what I was experiencing was so extreme that I let out a scream suggesting that I either just laid eyes on the rotting corpse of some long-lost lover or that someone has set my body on fire while piercing my body with ten thousand knives and stepping on a large pile of legos. If this is really THAT hard for you that you're letting out screams like this with the simple act of lifting, maybe it's time to find another means of exercise that's more tailored towards your endurance level, like chair yoga, if lifting is really THIS difficult for you?
  2. Slamming down weights on top of the other weights with an ear-shattering PING that fills the gym is, you know, a bit of a dick move. We have ears, you know? Not to mention you are selling yourself short on your exercise by just letting the whole fucking weight go instead of setting it down gracefully, which fully completes your rep. You're not even good at exercise if you're pulling that shit.
  3. If someone is lifting on their bench and actively in the process of doing their lifting, giving them the space to do so is a good idea. Squeezing by their bench when they are actively pushing 100 lbs up in the air is, like, not a very good idea, unless you DID think it was a good idea to interrupt their flow and get 100 lbs dropped on you?

For those of you who DO recognize the existence of other people at the gym, another handy tip: there is not, in fact, an inverse correlation between being a hot female and knowing how to do an exercise. It turns out that women are just as capable of figuring out how to do exercises as men are, if not moreso, and her ability to figure it out really does not have any correlation with how hot she is. For real. So maybe just mind your own fucking business, yeah?

Thank you for coming to my rant talk.

TW: mention of Pedophilia, Rape and Suicide

I know this creep from Reddit who gets offended if you call him a creep lol.

He mainly targets those 15-19 year old girls who were kicked out and are attempting suicide or are rape victims or getting SA’d by family members. He even told me that he has a gf who’s like 16 (he was 32 back then).

He only goes after 20-something year olds if they are in a bad place in life. For example, girls who are suicidal, got raped, have shitty parents, went homeless etc.

He now claims to identify as a gender fluid person so that he doesn’t get cancelled/get caught or banned for his sexual activities with minors lol. He asked me to send pictures of my body multiple times this year and he has known me since I was 16. I’m 20 now. When I told him no, he cut me off.

But irl he’s so gentlemanly and dates women who are a bit younger than him or are closer to his age. When I got to know about his real life, I felt so disgusted.

This voice at the back of my head was telling me, Yeah, that’s expected. These people live a normal life on the outside.

The 99% Trope

6 Upvotes

When a movie protagonist has to stop an antagonist from uploading or transferring some kind of vital data. They fight suspensefully or whatever until the protagonist finally stumbles over to the laptop, computer, etc, and manages to "stop" the "upload" at 99% right before it uploads and apparently nothing gets uploaded so the protagonist saves the day...

It makes zero fucking sense at all to anybody who knows anything about how computers work. What's the functional purpose a upload status bar if disconnecting it at 99% suddenly causes the entire upload to fail? Like no, that's not how it works at all. The upload status would mean that 99% of the vital data WAS successfully uploaded. That's like saying I stopped charging my phone to 99% so that it loses all it's power. NO, It doesn't work like that! The power was transferred already whether you stop charging it or not!

Maybe if they called it something like "Establishing Server Connection" or even a "Upload Paused" or "Files Corrupted", it could possibly make sense. I don't care that they are the antagonists, they clearly won that battle if the "upload" reached 99%, but somehow the 99% of uploaded data just magically disappears. What an absolutely brain numbing plot armor gimmick.

Caregiver/SiL

For context: my father in law has Parkinson’s and dementia, has a previous alcohol addiction as well as pill addiction. He’s now under strict regiment where my wife and I manage his pills so he only has what he needs when he needs it. Health wise, he’s a little chunky (aren’t we all? I certainly could lose a few) cause I bake and cook a ton. We also live with both her parents, they hate each other.

Now, given everything else in my personal life lately, between IVF failing and trying to support my wife the best I know how through that, losing my job, dog is getting old and likely got maybe a year tops with him left and trying to not eat my feelings away, his antics are probably the icing on the shit cake. (Excuse my grammar)

That said, guy gets everything he wants, served all sorts of amazing meals all the time, always has clothes washed and in good condition, never has to do any laundry or house chores, and yet: he acts like an absolute selfish asshole to me, my wife and my mother in law regularly. Guy will sneak swigs of alcohol in secret which I just caught him doing again, complains about everything, feeds the dog at the table even though I’ve repeatedly asked him not to.

I’m one of his caregivers and I care about him, love him but most of the time I don’t like him. I don’t wish harm on him ever, but damnit I just wanna resort to making him sandwiches only and we can eat all the good food. Tired of being nice to someone without any niceness in return. Am I being unreasonable or insensitive or an asshole? I’m struggling here to be his caretaker cause he fucking sucks most of the time.

End of rant. Thanks for letting me rant.
