Show of hands, who listens to Fairweather Friends on repeat?

It has to be one of my number one get pumped the fuck up jams but it isn’t long enough 😭 I always want more because it’s so damn good. I end up listening to it multiple times in a row. Didn’t know if it was just my neurotypical ass or if anyone else does this 😆

Always cool to see his inspirations

I have only been in this Reddit community for a few months. Always loved Oliver but didn’t join until he passed because I wanted to mourn and remember him with his fellow fans so forgive me if this has already been pointed out.

I’ve been a huge fan of The Doors my entire life. I didn’t become a mega fan of Mr. Tree until a bit after he and Melanie split up so I wasn’t really aware of this photo shoot until recently. The moment I saw it I knew exactly where he got his inspiration from. I can’t say 100% but common sense and knowing OT’s love for music I can say I have a feeling that’s what inspired the Melanie pic.

For those unaware, the people in the other picture are Jim Morrison (The Doors) and his long time girlfriend Pamela Courson. The picture was taken in the late 60s. Just really cute to see the two worlds collide.

Stay awesome fellow saplings.

Why do I feel like I just delivered a drug deal? Coming from someone in recovery lol

So…. I get a stacked order for $42 going 40 miles (I’m desperate, traffic is low, have great gas mileage). First half is restaurant pickup and delivery. Second half is a pickup from a florist. Cool, I see the flowers are going an hour away so I’m thinking “oh, this must be a special place that has awesome arrangements!”

I get to the florist and all I see is a run-down gas station. I google the name and there’s no pictures of the business, just stock photos of flower arrangements and one five star review with no comment, just the 5 stars.

I go into the gas station and I ask the guy if they were also a florist. He gruffly asks me for the name of the customer then he hands me one single red rose in a red code made of cardboard. I’m immediately like uh… so who orders a single red rose to be delivered an hour away?

I live in one of the biggest cities in the country.. I passed countless grocery stores and florists, etc on my way to the drop off location. Maybe the person ordered it that lived near the “florist” to be delivered an hour away? But that can’t be because I have had someone order flowers from a local grocery store to be delivered to someone locally but they lived in another state.. I mean, I don’t know. Maybe that was the case, but I still can’t wrap my mind around someone paying for one single underwhelming rose to be delivered an hour away from a run-down gas station.

Either way, it weirded me out but I made my delivery and got my money and I’m on the way back to my zone lol. So, so weird.

Just realized something that connected me to Oliver Tree personally (kind of) and I have nobody else to talk to about it.

In my 20s I was on an album cover for a dubstep artist and I honestly haven’t really thought about it in years. Today it hit me that Oliver Tree was a big fan of the artist and the artist was a fan of his. So Oliver has seen my face and just knowing this has made my entire year. It makes me feel closer to him just knowing this.

Trying not to dox myself here but be kind because Reddit scares me haha. If you don’t care no need to tell me in the replies, I’ve had enough people in my personal life tell me they don’t care. Just keep scrolling please. For some reason it really means a lot to me.

Always be kind. We miss you Oliver.

Edit: holy smokes! I want to say I genuinely love ALL OF YOU!! I didn’t mean to make anything about myself. Truly, I just made a mental connection and had nobody else to talk to about it. This is genuinely the best community I’ve ever come across and I think Oliver would be so proud to know how amazing his fans are. I’m just an old, boring mom now. This was something that I’d forgotten I had even done that brought meaning back into my life when I realized Oliver might have seen my face. Thank you to everyone who was kind and who shared the excitement with me 🥹. Also, thank you to those who were going to battle with a troll. I genuinely love all of you. You’re beautiful. You’re awesome. I’ve never been so proud of you.

July 25th Memorial

Hey crash test dummies, forgive me if this has been answered but I heard that his family was planning a public memorial for Oliver on the 25th of this month. Apparently it will be at a big venue and streamed so his fans can be there virtually.

Does anyone have any other info on this? Where we might find more info on this? I really don’t want to miss it. I think about it every single day with (delusional) hopes he will pop up and this will all be a fake death scenario.

Don’t come for me, I know he’s gone but I can’t help but have hope somewhere inside. I miss him so much. I also just want to be able to be there to honor him virtually and be part of telling him one final goodbye with the rest of his fans because yes, I know, he’s gone. I’d just love to see it.

Any info would be appreciated! Oliver, baby we miss your smile. Keep rocking in that G Class Benz in the sky.

App still down for me

Idk what is happening. I was dashing fine all day up until about 30 minutes ago. I didn’t get an offer for about 15 minutes so I deleted and re-installed (like I always do) and now it won’t let me log back in.

I thought this issue was resolved 😭. They said they’ve escalated the issue and someone will be calling me back but, let’s be real, I’ve never had anyone ever call me back over an issue.

I want to scream. I so wish they would get their shit together. For a multi-million dollar company their app is absolute garbage.

All the ways DoorDash slapped me in the face today.

But really, I’ve NEVER received so many horrendous offers back to back to back. I don’t know what DoorDash is smoking today but it must be good to assume people will take ANY of these. The ones that are almost doable turn into “hell no” ones when you see it’s a stacked offer. No, Tony. Straight to hell with you.

Sadly, I know some masochist out there absolutely will end up accepting these but it won’t be me 😭. I packed it up early and went home for the day. The absolute audacity 🙃

Fk you Sumir

So I never expect tips or even additional tips. I accept what I accept and roll with it.

Today I accepted a stacked offer for $16 going 13 miles. The first drop off was a normal sized order for someone having lunch. Cool beans. The second order was a heavy ass large order going to the third floor of an office building with a winding maze hallway that took forever to navigate. Still, I digress.

I hand the order to the receptionist, who was incredibly kind. I’m happy with what I’m making (wish it was more since there was unknown traffic and who doesn’t like getting more money) but as I go to drive off the secretary runs out and stops me.

I ask her if there was a problem and she tells me no and for me to wait right there. She goes inside and comes back out to tell me she went in to gather cash from everyone for a tip for me but then tells me her boss (Sumir) stopped her and told her he was sending me a big additional tip right now. She asks me “did you get it yet? He JUST sent it over to you!!”

I tell her no and that it can sometimes take a couple of minutes and she happily says okay, thanks me for my service, and goes back in to join their company party that I brought the food for.

Twenty minutes goes by and I ask DoorDash if they see any additional tips from that order. They tell me no there isn’t any. It’s been hours now. No added tip. I didn’t expect one and I never expect a tip but why would you stop someone from giving someone a cash tip to tell them that you’re giving an additional tip and then never come through? Who hurt you Sumir?

Maybe he’s busy and will add it later but he did say he already sent it through so I’m not holding my breath. The end.

Edit to add: he didn’t leave any tip to begin with. The other order and base pay carried his order for him. Just saying.
