Last year on "Deal" season my sister bought 2 columns of toilet paper, floor to ceiling. Not even in COVID we had that much toilet paper at home. Same happened with other cleaning products, 3 boxes of 10 kilos each of powder detergent, a pack of 100 cleaning rags, like 10 refills of Mr clean surface spray. Like 10 gallon floor cleaning liquid and a bunch of other stuff.

It's been a year and we haven't finished anything that was bought around that time.

It's Deal season again and she bought everything again. I think now it's even worse.

Storing that amount of product is a nightmare, we told her last year how embarrassing it was to have a big ass column of toilet paper packs right when you go upstairs, but she told us if she could put it away, she would. We told her that then she shouldn't have bought that amount. Of course she used a guilt trip about how everything was going to be used anyway and how it was a purchase for all of us.

I told her I could store it in my hobby room (that she also uses as a bonus closet for all her clothing and accessories that doesn't fit in her room), so we could place it somewhere while the pile went down.

I really thought she could see how unhinged that purchase was, cause even after I gifted a whole pack to rolls to the office bathroom 3months ago, we still had 1 full column of toilet paper.

We have 3 people less at home now than a year ago.

This year we have like 14 hand soap refill packets. 6 gallons of detergent and a bunch of other giant bottles on the floor.

Me and my other sis keep making digs at the hoarding monument she has created. My hobby room is 1/3 hobby, 1/3 Closet and 1/3 cleaning supplies. We told her that it is a wild amount.

Her response? It is cheaper this way, since all of the products were sold with 3x2 or 4x3 deals. And that is it a years supply. We told her that we could just buy all of this when needed, we are no way close to poor. But she told us it was to not waste money, since what she is buying are the expensive quality products.

IDK how serious this is.

Should we stage an intervention?? She is the best debater out of all of us and the one with the shortest fuze. This isn't going to be easy.

I see this employee 3 times a week. Last week they asked me to move a day for the week after making it a 2 day week with a 4 day week the one after.

The thing is, there were some national holidays. One of them is labours day, no banks or sindicates work so it turned into a national holiday. 4 days after we have another national holiday, it is an official holiday but in another state, not here. Falls on a Tuesday, but some institutions move it to Monday.

Employee asked me if I was going to apply the non official holiday , (making their 4 day week into a 3 day week) and I told them, "to my knowledge we don't have that day as a holiday, tho I believe on previous years they have announced that it turns into an official. I will let you know, but I'm treating it as business as usual, will let you know for sure tho.

The official day passes on Sunday afternoon I send them "Next week business as usual". They reply "Ok, Thank you"

Monday passes and they don't show up, I'm thinking here. Hmmmmm, maybe they understood business as usual on the week after this one, and they understood I'm applying the holiday. I'm like fine, I understand some miscommunication. We had a natural disaster warning that derailed the whole day, nothing was damaged and no one got hurt.

Tuesday comes and they do a no show again. All I can think is we didn't see yesterday because it was a holiday, and they are not showing up today because of the holiday again?? That is suspicious, but again some institutions did both days as a break cause people are going to miss it anyway.

Comes Wednesday. And they did a no show AGAIN! There is no excuses for today, except for a national disaster evacuation sim. (The same type of disaster that occured on Monday). Employee really gets unwell with all of the sirens when sims and actual disasters occured.

Before I blew up on their ear. Did my Sunday message could be interpreted as "See you until the week after this one?".

Edit: I got confused by some messages to not blowing up and to just explain things calmy. After reading my post again I see where that is coming from now. "Blew up on their ear" is local lingo for "a call that will stay in your ear all day". I wasn't going to scream at them.

This employee has been with me for years, this week was just super unusual.

I called them to check up on them. They did miss read the message, but got super defensive immediately. There indeed was a misunderstanding, but I do believe the employee tried to abuse it as well.

The call went as follows:

Me: "Hey****, how are you?"

Them:"Fine, you know, here working at home as always. What's up?"

M: "just checking up on you since I didn't heard from you Tuesday, nor Wednesday. Everything ok?"

T: *long silence.... "What do you mean, you sent me the message that next week is business as usual."

M: "yes I understand that my message could be misunderstood,Will I see you Thursday?"

T: "when you said next week, meant we had the official day, right?"

M:"No, I meant we would see each other this week as usual, I understand the official day situation was confusing this year, that was my mistake. Will I see you tomorrow?"

T: "but you have told me, see you on Monday I might have understood better. So you are saying there was no official day this week"

M: "I mean, yes but that's in the past, it was my mistake. I'm just asking if I will see you Thursday?"

T: *long pause "you know, I already planned my week. Your message said we work until next week. There is nothing about this week."

M: " you asked me to confirm if we had an official day break or business as usual for the week and I answered business as usual. I understand there was miscommunication. Am I seeing you Thursday?"

T: "I already planned my week, I can't make it Thursday."

M: "Great, I'm seeing you Monday right?"

T: "yes."

M: "it's going to be 4 days next week right, Monday through thursday?"

T:" yes..."

M: "perfect, see yah, have a nice day"

T:"bye."

the following message shows up

"Firefox Can’t Open This Page

any idea on how to fix it? doesnt need any login, or password. it does ask for the creation of a username, which I guess is triggering the block.

EDIT: changed the source to https://paperchat.net/. it isnt keyboard friendly and doesnt have the rainbow pen, and doesnt let you choose the user color, but at least works.
