I had a COD parcel with which the collectible amount of 100 is clearly indicated on the parcel. I wasn’t home at the time, so my relative received it and the rider asked for 105 instead.

I raised a concern with courier because, while it’s only 5, I was worried that this might have happened before without us noticing.

Now, the rider keeps contacting me and complaining that my report will affect him. He told me that 5 wouldn’t hurt my bank account and that I should just shut up.

Now I’m honestly wondering if I overreacted by reporting it. I know 5 is a very small amount and it definitely won’t hurt my bank account, but that wasn’t really the point for me.

The parcel clearly said 100, so I wanted to understand why 105 was collected.

Was I wrong for reporting it? Should I have just let the 5 go?

I’m on Converge’s 300 Mbps plan and thinking of upgrading to 400 Mbps. Has anyone made the switch? Did you notice a significant difference in everyday use, or was the improvement barely noticeable? Was it worth the extra cost?

One of our friend ask to hang out then never follow up after I say sige chat mo lang ako. For me that’s already an answer so I just assume its not serious. My friend gets mad kasi she thinks it’s disrespectful of other people’s time.

Am I being too sensitive about this?

We’re a group of five friends, and recently we all chipped in for a birthday gift for one of our friends. I contributed without hesitation, but it brought up something that’s been bothering me for a while.

When it was my birthday, I didn’t receive a gift from the group. Likewise, whenever someone gets promoted or reaches a milestone, there’s usually a surprise, celebration, or some kind of gesture. But when it was my turn, there was nothing.

I’m not trying to keep score or make everything transactional. I genuinely enjoy celebrating my friends’ wins and being there for them. But after seeing this pattern happen repeatedly, I can’t help but feel hurt and overlooked.

What makes it harder is that I’m usually the friend who’s available, supportive, and willing to show up when needed. So sometimes it feels like the effort and thoughtfulness only go one way.

Part of me wants to bring it up because it’s been weighing on me, but another part of me worries that I’ll come across as petty, entitled, or overly sensitive.

Edit: What makes this even more painful is that even my mom noticed it. She asked me why I keep settling for this kind of friendship when the effort and thoughtfulness don’t seem to be reciprocated. I honestly didn’t know how to answer her. Part of me wants to believe that they care and that I’m just overthinking things, but another part of me wonders if I’ve been ignoring a pattern that’s been there all along. I’m not upset about the gifts themselves. I think what hurts is realizing that when it comes to birthdays, promotions, and other milestones, I seem to be the exception.

What are some underconsumption habits that genuinely help you save a lot of money?

How does an avoidant person react when you mirror their behavior, such as by giving silent treatment and not replying or updating them?

Supposed to meet someone today pero biglang di na nagreply. I already followed up yesterday too. Would you still send one last message asking if tuloy pa ba, or just assume it’s cancelled?

Valid ba ma-off kapag sinasabihan ng Angkas rider na walang panukli, tapos if GCash may additional 15-30 cash out fee? Gets ko naman minsan nauubusan sila, pero shouldn’t riders be prepared din? Sa panahon ngayon, even sukling barya matters.
