if people want to take orders you wouldn’t why does that bother y’all so much? genuinely starting to itch my brain at how mad ya’ll get about orders OTHER people see no problem with… insane.

I’m not a complainer about doordash honestly. I see what i’m taking, i take it. I don’t check for tips, i don’t ignore shop and gos (i actually enjoy them), and will take a stack order anyday, BUT i do have a small list of things about customers that really grinds my gears!

•being at a hotel in the city where there is NO parking, and not responding as i’m updating you and trying to get in contact for a smooth delivery. i’m not getting a ticket for you and will likely leave your food in the lobby. sorry, but it’s not worth it.

•being in an apartment that is genuinely confusing with a bunch of stairs and not being willing to meet me. i order to my apartment and always am standing outside waiting. if you’re close why do all the extra, i want my food right? i don’t ask anyone to meet me i just follow instructions, but if things are confusing and i’m messaging you why not make the process smoother? i legit had a lady’s kids watch me walk around lost and didn’t say anything and these were old enough kids to have advised.

•expecting me to go back or fix your order that the restaurant got wrong. my job is to get the food, check the name, make sure they say everything is in there and get to you as quickly as possible. no where in there did it say i was a back and forth driver. contact support, get a refund, yay free food!

i overall enjoy doordash. my goal is about 50 a day and i make that in about 2-3 hours on a good morning. i don’t care too much about this and that because i’m hitting a daily goal and pretty much calling it unless theres good flow going. but customers are the only one’s who make this un enjoyable for me. i will sit at a restaurant for 10+ minutes happily waiting for your food, but you can’t even so much as respond to a message? it’s quite annoying. anyway what’s some things customers do that grinds your gears?

EDIT: i can delete this post but as i stated in the comments i thought P stood for partner, my ignorance completely of reading fast.

Hello! I am new to the SAH life and am very curious on some advice out there for those who have done this long term.

To preference, I f(23) recently quit my job after my partner (22) encouraged me to quit. To be fair my pay was not contributing to any bills. I got paid very little, wasn’t even able to get 40 hours a week, and drained in patient care. We used my money for fun and our cats. My partner also does not drive so transportation was becoming a big issue. We are moving soon and have adjusted everything to fit their pay. (we are getting a bigger apartment so i’m honestly so excited).

It’s been about a month and things financially are fine, so thats good, but what do I do with my time? What do I do to be a good SAHP? I don’t want to be a bigger drain as honestly this was the life i always dreamed for, but now i don’t even know what to do lol. I have “chores” and an allowance, so it’s not like i’m sitting here unable to do anything. Just with no kids I don’t really know how to fill my time at home to its capacity.

I’ve started tiktok which has been going well as a little time killer, but until that really kicks off I don’t really have an activity i suppose. Maybe i’m still just adjusting to so much free time. Any advice or tips is appreciated. Nice things you do for your partner or even things ya’ll have implemented after years of experience. Thanks so much!

edit: yes i “want” kids , yes we both have degrees; they are going onto a masters program.
