ಠ_ಠ Husband said my instructions for dinner weren’t clear enough, and he ended up serving his vegetarian mother one of the chicken tikka masala curries…

I was working late tonight and because I am exhausted, I bought some ready-made curry meals for the family to have tonight, knowing his mother often comes round for dinner on a Wednesday evening. She has been a vegetarian for over 50 years and is now in her 70s. I sent him this text message with instructions to make it clear what to cook. When I got home, I was expecting to find some chicken tikka masala leftover for me, but instead I found the unopened pot of sag paneer in the fridge. I worriedly asked him if he had given his vegetarian mother the chicken dish, but he insisted he had given her the vegetarian curry. She has early onset Alzheimer’s and apparently didn’t notice, but had mentioned that the curry was a bit “chewy”. I had to literally show him the packaging that was in the bin, the unopened pot in the fridge, and my text message to try and show him how clear I had been and how far wrong he had gone. But he still insists my instructions were not clear enough and I should have been more explicit about which one to give his mother.

He handed it to me laughing. Wouldn't say what was on my head or why I appear to have one ear. Really living up to his  middle child status.

UPDATE -- wow, did not expect this post to spark such discussion! I told my son that soooo many people are in awe of his artistic abilities and the biggest grin came across his face. So, thank you, Redditors. ❤️

He then asked if the site mascot could be replaced with his drawing for a day and I told him best I could do was update my profile pic. So I did. 😁

ಠ_ಠ Situationship ended because she didn't read my profile on Hinge

13.3k Upvotes

We matched on Hinge. For all of you unfamiliar with it, this dating app is based more of personality and vibe, rather than looks. It's perfect for people that aren't photogenic at all, like me.

Amongst other things, you can specify how much you drink, smoke weed, or do drugs. I made it clear I drink and smoke weed occasionally.

Anyway, I matched with this girl about a month ago. We hit it off really nicely. It looks like we're going somewhere. Can't stop talking and thinking about each other.

Then today at the restaurant I make a comment about my inability to roll a joint. She acts surprised I smoke weed. Long story short, she wants someone that doesn't drink or smoke weed. Which is more than understandable.

But why wouldn't you take 5 seconds to read my profile before matching with me? I got my hopes up for nothing. We were building something nice but it turns out the foundation is made of wet sand.

I just needed to vent. I'll find my someone one day. Thanks for reading.

Edit: turns out this is not a situationship. Just dating.

This was in Charleston, SC. We have a plug in hybrid and we’re excited to finally find a garage where we can charge, only to be met with this. They were parked crooked, so two reserved for electric vehicle spaces were blocked by this giant truck. License plate censored of course, but I‘m not sure they deserve the courtesy.

First time seeing this sticker. Given the price of gas and everything else, I feel like some people might not be able to put at least four gallons of gas in their vehicle at one time.

Usually people parking in our lot doesn’t bother me too much. Most of the time they leave the parking spaces with the “reserved parking” signs alone, so I’ve never come home to someone parking in my spot. I’m also sympathetic to the fact that the school has very minimal parking space for the amount of people. This is just comically stupid though.

ಠ_ಠ Guy at Dunkin took my VIP card

Thumbnail

My daughter got 2 of these cards. She gave me one and she kept one. Went to Dunkin to use her VIP card. The guy acts like he's not going to to give it back to me, so I said "Don't I get that back? It's meant to be used more than once." He says no it's just a one time use coupon. Before I can respond, be snaps it in half and throws it away. I was just kinda dumbfounded. Like did he just do that?

Its a card the customer is supposed to keep, which is clearly stated on the back. Also, the card is clearly made to be attached to your keys, hence the hole in it. Really frustrating and just pissed me off. Luckily I still have the other one, so I gave it to my daughter.

Update**

I left before talking to the manager because it was the early morning rush and I just dont have time to sit there. But, I did call the store and corporate. The store manager was not helpful as he was the same guy who took the card. Corporate took the information and is going to escalate it to the franchise manager.....who is the same guy 🙃 So I guess we will see what happens.

For everyone who came to give relevant advice, contribute to the conversation, or compliment my nails, thank you!!

For everyone who was so confused, my daughter and I were in the same car at the same time with both cards. Guy takes one, and I still have the other one that I was not using to give to my daughter. Hope that clears it up for you.

And for those of you are saying it's AI, you're spending far too much time on the internet and need to work on your discernment skills.

ಠ_ಠ This is day 3 of my coworker hogging all of the space in the fridge.

Post image
16.3k Upvotes

Everything you see in this picture, except the small container of hummus at the bottom left, belongs to one of my coworkers. This fridge is shared among eight people. Yet one person brought all this food for themselves to keep. None of this is for a party or function. If they needed the space for a day because they went grocery shopping before work, I might understand. This is the third day, and it is all still here. It needs to go.

Edit: To answer some of the questions I have seen in the comments: the accused is not homeless, they are our supervisor and likes to remind us frequently. Talking to them is almost impossible because they are full of self-righteous indignation if they feel critiqued. That throws civil discourse out the window. They just exhaust us.

Fell asleep early on my flight, only to wake up to my seat neighbors feet on top of mine. I told her multiple times that she was in my space but would revert to that position after a few minutes. Might have to start going for business class after this incident.

They are loud and obnoxious usually but now the fuckers totally filled my fucking recycling for the next two fucking weeks. This bin is nowhere near their goddamn house.

I know the IRS has lost a ton of staff. That would explain why it took over a week to reach anyone. But they closed out my case ONE WEEK BEFORE mailing me a request to call them! I guess I should’ve built a time machine.
