This happened at Ulta Beauty today.

I don’t work there, just a customer making an observation about another customer who doesn’t respect anyone else’s time and creates a headache for the poor worker behind the counter.

There was only one person working and I was next in line. But, the lady in front of me didn’t want a specific item anymore and was trying to return it, or exchange it (I couldn’t hear exactly what she was trying to do), and all I could hear was a back and forth tennis match between the retail worker saying “we can’t exchange it in-store today because we don’t have that item in stock, but what we can do is order it for you online” and the lady going “but can’t you xyz”

I don’t know if the lady was expecting the item she wanted to magically materialize into the store but she sure was set on not getting her exchanged item online.

This went on and on for minutes until another clerk opened her register and by the time I made my transaction and left the store she was still arguing with the first employee.
Who knows how long this went on for?

I don’t know why customers think retail workers have it in their power to change the rules and regulations in place.. maybe it’s because they’ve never worked a day of customer service in their lives?

Anyway, the line behind me is piling up and people are starting to snake their way around the store and I just wanted to tell the lady that she just needs to accept and move on.

Like people are sooo inconsiderate ugh

Throwaway account for obvious reasons.

I used to be just like everyone else, making incest jokes about outies dating and marrying their innie, until it happened to me.

It started out innocent. Just a few notes passed back and forth to each other.

Then, out came the cameras.
And you guessed it… we started sending nudes back and forth.

It’s a feeling a can’t explain but I truly believe my innie is my soulmate and we both chose this cosmic destiny as a true test to prove our love.

It’s eating away at both of us because we don’t have anyone to talk to about it with… doing so would terminate my innie and ruin my reputation, unless we move to Saudi Arabia where it’s accepted and legalized.

And dating an innie is bad enough as it is for your reputation…but your own innie? that’s soil-the-bed next level.

But that’s not even the hardest part… the worst of it is is that we’ll never meet in person.
We’re both trapped in the same body and only one of us can exist at a time.

We so badly wish to elope…but in order to marry each other we both need to be in the room looking at each other in the eyes to say our “I do’s”.

We need advice.
Has anyone been through something similar?
What did you/would you do in this taboo situation?

I’m so disappointed in how downhill this sub’s become.

This used to be a safe space for us outies to trash talk innies and exchange ideas on keeping them oppressed.

My innie, who I created in the event I injure myself or get a boo-boo now knows there’s a life outside of pain and physical therapy thanks to the mods being careless and letting them join okbuddyseveranfe without any prior screening.

When I first joined this sub 5 years ago, I had to jump through fat fucking hoops to just to get my documentation in order to prove I was an outie and be let into this sub.
I was denied half a dozen times at least. Do you know how freaking hard it is to prove you’re an outie?

Guess the mods will just let anyone in now who can put a finger up their butt, huh?

If mods don’t crack down soon, I’m taking my business elsewhere 🧳
We don’t need anymore insiders dirtying up this beautiful subreddit.

I had never heard of it before until last night when I spontaneously signed up for one.

For those who’ve never heard of it, it’s a lot like Tai Chi. I honestly don’t know the difference.

What’s important is what I got out of the class.

Jumping up and down shaking my body around like a kid, feeling MONTHS of stuck energy from kratom move through my body and poof dissipate into the air.

I slept like a motherfucking baby last night, dreamed very vivid dreams, and woke up today ready to tackle the world feeling more excited about life than I have been in a VERY long while.

For reference, I cut off Kratom cold turkey a week ago.

I highly recommend finding a class like this if it’s in your area or Tai Chi.

I even got more out of it than yoga.

I wished for $20 so I could buy lunch but didn’t really like my burger.

Management at Red Robin said they wouldn’t refund me because I ate all of it.

So I was thinking maybe I could at least get back some of that money if I return my OWW because I wasn’t very satisfied with my wish?

The willow is completely snapped in half, other than that it’s in great condition.

The website strictly said NO RETURNS but Has anyone had success with returning it from their local crystillery?

I’m in a bit of a pickle right now with deciding on what to do with my cat.

To keep it brief, I relocated to another state last October and in order to land on my feet I lived with a friend for a few months (she didn’t want a cat in her house).

It was a big cross country move so I didn’t want to drag my cat around until I was fully settled.

So, I left my cat with my sister on the other side of the country while I figured out a pet-friendly living situation.

I’m finally all settled in my new apartment which allows for cats and the next step is to fly back to my home state and get my cat back.

It’s taken me longer than anticipated to get everything in order, but now it seems that my sister has grown quite attached to my cat… and my cat does seem really happy down there.

My cat is very social so he’s been getting along really well with my sister’s cat and they seem to have bonded.

Additionally, my sister lives in a house with a lanai (basically a giant catio) and whenever we FaceTime my cat loves being out there and watching the birds and bugs.

He also has a flap where the cats can access the litter boxes etc.

I live in a one bedroom apartment in a city so the space would be an obvious downgrade for him.

I really miss my cat and selfishly I want to take him back with me… but on the other hand, I feel like I would be yanking him away from what is his home now.

I’m afraid of downgrading his situation and having him be a solo cat again, I would hate to do that to him.

I do really miss him tho and we have such a strong bond. I bottle raised him from the time he was a kitten . And he recognizes my voice on FaceTime.

I know my sister would keep him in a heartbeat.

It’s good to know that he’s so loved and the nice thing is if I give him up I would still get to see him on holiday visits.

Has anyone ever been in a similar situation ? Did you end up taking your cat back?
What do you think I should do?
