Random Fail: First World Problems

[dasva]

In another nutrition fail been trying to increase my uptake of certain vitamins and minerals but finding it difficult to do so or really to know how much because most things give very little info. Like I could see not having the whole thing on the label but have that shit online man. Then when I check on something more generic for basic items I get more but sometimes find shit is way off in some obvious ways. Like had it tell me something was 20 g fat and 60g carbs and 18 protein but only came to 200 calories lol. Meanwhile another source put it at like double that which makes a lot more sense.

Lol customer who is chronically late paying us to the point it often takes no only the original invoice but us sending 3-4 late notices is claiming she paid us because she always tapes a check to bin we pick up... sorry if that was true you would've brought this up 2 years ago plus I've been there so I know she's lying. We call her out and she's sticking to her lie saying she'll look up records or something

send it to a collection agency

guy spends the whole night talking about how Minnesotans are passive-aggressive and how socially isolated we are compared to the other coasts (which I agree with)


get his number because he's cute, text him a few days later. can't carry on a conversation, and at this point I haven't heard back in over a day, calling it DOA


ah, the wild hypocrite in its natural habitat - what a magnificent species this is

[BaneTheBrawler]

it's not so much passive aggressiveness as it is aversion to conflict. we just really, really don't wanna hurt feelings.

a selfish and cowardly position at best. we save ourselves the pain of hurting someone else only to put them through something much worse - being blown off - rather than letting them know up-front "no thanks, I'm not interested."


I'm not attacking you personally; hopefully that's clear. I know what you're saying. I just hate it.

[BaneTheBrawler]

oh for sure, i hate it too. if nothing else, it makes planning shit a nightmare.... if you do it like a normal person. the key is to tell them what's happening, when, where, and ask if they can make it. you can't leave the question open-ended, like "hey when would work for you?"


only somewhat applicable to your situation, alas. maybe a "hey i'm going out for drinks wanna come?" would work... but it might not.

yeah, I agree. part of the fault is on me for trying to have an extended text conversation and get to know him before I ask him out. some people don't get that, so I might try what you said and just be direct.

and omg don't get me started. there's this guy who is pursuing me but he ALWAYS asks "when are we going to hang out?" and I just think to myself "bitch that is the wrong question..."

we have a californian friend in our group who cracks us up because he'll bust right through that minnesota bullshit. the only time he'll take no for an answer is if you SAY no. if you say "well maybe" or "I don't know, I have to work tomorrow" or "I'm not really feeling it" he will just be like "ok, so that's a yes" lol

Neighbors that moved out left a HUGE ass mess. Threw out a bunch of furniture they didn't bring to the new place out where the trash gets picked up (and they obviously didn't take it), so someone called code enforcement on them and the officer decided to check out the entire complex, so my uncle's car got popped for not having current tag. So now I have to see what he wants to do about that. (especially since it's in my name. He's working on Kuwait and saw the car that he could restore/sell on craigslist; and sent me the money to go buy it for him. It's been sitting there a year now w/o any issues, now there is one)

Don't know about there but here (California) you can get a special tag that says the vehicle is non-operational and just sitting so that doesn't happen. I don't think it costs any money either and prevents you from getting in trouble for expired registration or no insurance etc.

My new home office chair has armrest attachments in the front so I can't manspread effectively.

This is the work of feminism and I don't like it.

[Zetanio]

Trying to figure out how the hell one of my FFXI Internet friends that I've never met in my life is Facebook friends with my mom.
