My first concert ever was Marc Anthony in 2023. I made a sign and actually ended up meeting him after the show , where he gave me a hug and danced with me. I had been saving for nearly a year and had always wanted to go to a concert but hadn’t ever had the opportunity to. For me that concert was super special because I stepped out of my comfort zone (I never leave the house 🤣 and don’t interact socially very much) and ultimately stepped away with a beautiful experience. Wondering how other peoples first concerts went and any fun stories you have haha.

To begin around 6 months ago my grandpa gave me his old computer. I tried to erase and reset it a few times but I’ve been busy and haven’t been able to really work on it. The computer is old and heavy so I don’t bring it out much. Around a week ago he calls and curses out my mom and myself saying he “ needs his f***kin computer back and he’s “ not f****kin playing” he said I either need to give him the computer or the files on It. I told him I’d try and get it to him when I could and was again cursed out. Its not like I’m intentionally being avoidant but I genuinely don’t have the time right now and my truck is messing up so I don’t want to risk the hour and forty minute drive to his house. I don’t know whats so important in the files or why he randomly wants it back after saying nothing all this time. I do plan on getting him the files but like I said life has been lifeing lately.

also if it matters for i am 25F and my grandpa is 79M

Edit : because people are reading this wrong apparently. My grandpa gave me the computer because he got a new one. I tried to fix it of my own accord so it would go faster for things like video editing and other stuff. The computer is 16 years old and I did not ask him for it , he gave it to me as a gift. I set it up properly once in all that time and then turned it off realizing id need more free time to work on it. He hasn’t said anything about the computer until just now.

My truck a/c recently started blowing hot air and I’m looking to have it checked out. I’m just a bit weary because the car I had , took it to big o tires and then a local mechanic to fix the a/c and shortly after the car started randomly shutting off , not to mention the a/c still hardly worked. This time around I’m hoping to find someone reputable and not too expensive for this very necessary repair lol. I’ve also already checked the cabin air filter and the fuse box . Taking it to autozone soon for some diagnostics but I don’t want to mess around too much under the hood and make things worse. So if anyone knows any where please help a girl out 🥲

Lol I’m a relatively new dasher and I had this happened to me during my 12th ever order lol. Not the worst thing ever but I get an order and as always I check the app and the order number multiple times and house number to guarantee I have the right house, I drop the food off and go back to my car thinking nothing of it. As I’m about to drive off a Woman knocks on my window and says if I have the right house because she didn’t order any food, I check my screen shots and recent orders and that was the right address. I try to call the customer in chat but that wouldn’t work so I wen through support and the customer finally answers screaming “ you dropped my food off at the wrong place“ I read him the adress and he goes “ oh I lived there in like 2018 and I was kinda f***ed up when I ordered sorry” no worries lmao I go back to the spot and he’s 1 house down from the address he typed in , so out he shuffled with his fat little dog , they got their tacos and I went on my way.

just a funny story, nothing that bad lol . Has this happened to any one else while dashing ?

So I am older gen z b.2000 and I always find the stark differences between the later gen Z and us older one’s fascinating. But I also think the parents age has a lot to do with things you grew up with , music , movies , media etc. and wonder how it varied from person to person.

My parents were born in the early 1970s , born in ‘71 and ‘73 and I grew up with stuff like little house on the prairie , the twilight zone ,crocheting and knitting as leisurely activities , floppy disks and big back computers etc. Music varied but growing up in AZ in the early 00s , I remember Luis Miguel’s “ Mexico in la piel” album being everywhere .My sister and I also played lots of flash games.

My Mom listened to a lot of everything so now my music taste is equally varied 🤣. side no , does anyone remover when you could test out mp3 players and hear the latest albums at stores ?

i also have never used tiktok and I didnt Have an Instagram until late 2020 🤣. Not sure if it’s because of my age or growing up with older parents but hopefully this post makes sense lol.

TLDR : how old are your parents and what nostalgic things did you grow up with typically associated with older generations.

posted this in r/GenZ but someone suggested I add it here as well.

So I have been experiencing lower back and knee pain for a while , more than 10 year. every time I go to a doctor they said it’s probably strain , but I don’t tend to do many strenuous activities. My daily exercise is mainly yoga , light aerobics/ dancing and walking my dog .In the past I was diagnosed with a patella malformation and mild marfaan syndrome but there was no follow up or aftercare plan made as far as I know.

I think a big issue is the pain comes and goes , it’ll be extremely dull or hardly noticeable for about two weeks and then it always come back sharper and more taxing.

I’ve noticed the pain has gotten significantly worse over the years , particularly right before my period starts. it’s gotten to the point where I can hardly drive or walk anymore without Searing pain shooting through my back or knees. I’m wondering what I can do to treat this and how I can go about explaining to doctors irl so I can finally reach a manegable solution.

Also looking to pinpoint the main cause , if it’s a height issue , a weight issue or something more.

So long story short I work at Dunkin’ Donuts in arizona. If it matters I am 25 years old , a woman and I am autistic ( diagnosed at age 3). I’m also tall and I’ve been told that people were scared by me “ towering over them menacingly”. There Is one shift lead who has constantly told me off for small mistakes like forgetting a donut or putting in a drink wrong at the register. I’ve asked for clarification in what I’ve done wrong been told I’m argumentative and insubordinate.

This is also them completely ignoring the fact that anytime I’ve been approached it’s been someone yelling at me or scolding me harshly on an event that has already occurred.

I spoke with the manager about this and the DM , but now they’re claiming that every shift lead has complained that they cannot talk to me and that I’m so intimidating to everyone.

I’ve never been told that information and I only work at the store two days a week and Wasn’t ever properly trained on various tasks . when I explained where I was getting confused at the manager told me I was just making excuses for my behavior. When I had already apologized if I came across as rude or offensive due to my facial expressions or gestures.

A point I think is worth noting is that this Dunkin has one star reviews for how rude the employees and staff are , dating back to before I worked there. In the employee meeting the manager even mentioned how she once told a customer to “ gtfoh of her f’in drive thru. I explained that I didnt think it was right that I was being accused of having an attitude when everyone else was also rude and had attitudes , they claimed that it didn’t matter and that no one can do their jobs because of me.

Finally today the manager pulled out a write up and said that I needed to change my behavior or else. When I asked some clarifying questions and for a better explanation she went “ you’ve asked me six times and I’ve never had this kind of pushback on a write up”

sorry if this is all over the place , Im Trying to make this as concise as possible.

I haven’t quit and I haven’t been fired , just wondering what can be done in this situation and what’s the best thing to move forward.

So ever since I can remember my mom would eat raw flour and baking soda , she always said that she’s done this since she was 14 years old. Actual flour like all purpose cooking flour. She would also occasionally eat pancake mix if she ran out of flour. The addiction to flour was really bad to the point where as kids we’d have to go and ask neighbors for some when my mom didn’t have any money to buy any. Flour and baking soda would sometimes be the only food we had , but my mom would cook it for my sister and I l.However this randomly stopped a few years ago , she just doesn’t do it anymore. But now it’s spread to me , I first noticed when I was 18 and living away from my mom that anytime I was near flour I was salivating and had the urge to eat it. This never happened when I lived with her and I never had the wanting to eat it , now I am 26 and I eat flour , I live with my mom now and I know it would crush her if she knew that I was eating flour too. I feel bad for doing this but now I can’t seem to stop myself from sneaking and eating it. I guess I’m just wondering if it really is possible to inherit addiction from parents and how to stop it.

Edit because I forgot to mention it here : Yes , I do know about pica and the wanting to eat non food objects.I believe my mom was diagnosed with pica when she was much younger. From what I’ve gathered over the years it’s an eating disorder

Not sure if this is standard practice for hotels but this was my first time booking a hotel stay. My mom normally books everything , anyways I booked two Hotel rooms in Vegas for myself , my sister and her boyfriend. one room with two beds and another room with a single bed. all of our names were on the reservation and we selected the first level of the hotel. When we arrived at the hotel the attendant said we could use the self service kiosk because she needed to do something first , she then asked what room my sister was stay in and that he name needed to be added additionally. When we got to the rooms they were on the 17th floor and we had two double bed rooms instead of the double and the single. We had already paid all fees online but were told that there was an additional fee of $275 per room. if it helps this was the circus circus hotel in Vegas. I’m just confused as to why we didn’t get the rooms we booked and why there were additional fees after the fact.
