I came back out to my vehicle and somebody had literally outlined it in chalk like it was a whole crime scene.
Not only was there chalk all around the car, but there were little arrows, comments, and sarcastic messages pointing out the parking job like they were hosting a public art project in the parking lot. I’m sorry, but that is so childish.
If my parking was that bad, fine, be annoyed. But touching up the pavement around my vehicle and turning it into a joke for everyone walking by is just petty. People are way too comfortable embarrassing strangers instead of just moving on with their day.
Am I wrong for going off on my fiancé after he returned my wedding dress without asking me?
Me (29F) and my fiancé (33M) are getting married soon. Wedding planning has been mostly fine except he's picked fights over the venue and the flower girl. Now it's my wedding dress.
Ever since I was little I dreamed of having my own beautiful wedding dress. I can afford it. My fiancé thinks it's stupid to waste a couple thousand on a dress I'll wear once. He might have a point, but this is a typical price for wedding dresses, and if it's once in a lifetime, why not make it special?
He wouldn't drop it. Suggested I rent a dress instead. Started calling me irresponsible with money. Brought up how much I've put aside to "rent a face" — his charming little phrase for makeup. And "fake hair" — his words for extensions. I have a vision for how I want to look on my wedding day. I thought that was my right as the bride.
I went ahead and bought the dress with my own money. The next day it was gone from my closet. I panicked. He told me calmly that he returned it and got the refund. I was in shock. Asked him why. He said the dress was ridiculously expensive, I was wasting money, and once again demanded I go rent one.
I lost it. Went off on him. I've never yelled at him like that before. He took a step back and told me to calm down like I was being hysterical. Said he had every right because there's no such thing as "I'm paying for it myself" in marriage. Said my attitude is setting the tone for what kind of wife I'll be — expecting him to pay for everything while I keep "my money" to myself and spend it irresponsibly. I have never once told him how to spend his money. I told him he gets zero say in how I spend mine. He told me to grow the f up and stop with the "dream wedding dress" clichè. Then he stormed off to call his mommy.
His mom called me right after and chewed me out. Said she won't let me ruin her son's financial stability with my reckless spending. She demanded I rent a dress or buy a much cheaper one and "move on." I said no.
Now he's holding the refund hostage. Says he'll give me the money back once we "agree to a solution." Meaning once I do it his way.
Am I wrong for thinking this isn't about a dress anymore — it's about control?
DELIVERY SHOULD INVOLVE MORE THAN JUST DROPPING EVERYTHING ON THE PORCH AND LEAVING.
This order was right by the entrance, but it was placed in the most inconvenient spot possible.
The bags were scattered across wet concrete.
The water cases were taking up the space directly in front of the door.
And some of the groceries were close enough to puddles that the bags and boxes could easily end up soaked.
I completely understand that drivers are busy and trying to move quickly.
But if the weather is bad, that is not the time to rush through the drop-off without thinking.
Nobody wants to pay for grocery delivery only to come home and find soggy bags, wet boxes, and a blocked doorway.
The groceries arrived.
But the care was missing.
Would you contact customer support?
Would you lower the tip?
Or would you just clean everything up and move on?
Ladies, I need your honest opinion.
My daughter’s fiancé gave her this ring, but when she showed it to me, I told her it looked small and not very nice, and that she should ask him to replace it with something better.
She refused to say anything to him, but I just want the best for my daughter.
Do you think I’m right, or am I overstepping?
Be honest Ladies 👀💍
I ordered mac and cheese, and when I was about to pay, the waitress said a $10 tip would be appreciated. The mac and cheese was only $7, and she was asking for a $10 tip! My roommate said that's just how it is, so I should just deal with it. She used to be a server and told me that honestly, a $10 tip is considered low.
Be brutally honest: Are you deeply outraged that, while hundreds of millions of Americans and I are struggling financially, @elonmusk has just now become the world's first trillionaire, with more wealth than he could spend in 1,000 lifetimes? Yes or no?
To the UPS driver who thought 5 AM was an appropriate time to stroll up my driveway this morning with a package, we need to talk. I woke up to the sound of someone outside my house before the sun was even up, and there you were casually walking toward my porch like delivering boxes in the middle of the night is totally normal behavior.
When I asked what you were doing on my property that early, you had the nerve to say you guys “had an early start to the day,” like that somehow makes it okay to show up to people’s houses when the rest of the neighborhood is still asleep. I don’t care what time your shift starts, that doesn’t mean my front porch becomes your personal drop-off station before dawn.
And since you decided to do it anyway, congratulations, because now the package didn’t even get delivered. Instead of just waiting until a reasonable hour, you got an earful and ended up leaving with the box. So now you get to come all the way back later today and do the job again.
Just so we’re clear, I’ve already contacted the police about someone coming onto my property that early in the morning. Next time you think it’s a good idea to deliver packages before normal people are awake, maybe remember that not everyone appreciates being woken up because you “started early.”
