So no screen shots because the convo disappears immediately after being unmatched so I guess it's up to you to believe me or not but ...

After what I thought was actually a decent and interesting hour or two long back and forth conversation she asked me what I do for work.. that's where it went off the rails..

I told her I work for a furniture manufacturer that specializes in Murphy Beds. Maybe she had some bad experience previously with a Murphy bed idk, but she then described it as furniture that murders people, as in she literally used the word "murder". To me that was a weird reaction so I kind of assumed she was trying to be funny or sarcastic or something and I said that bringing up "murder" was quite an escalation and stated that you could definitely hurt your fingers if you're not careful.

She then claimed that because I brought up something "dangerous" and I am also being "nonchalant" about the dangers of it that it would be dangerous for her to be around me. Again, I didn't think she could be serious but as I was typing a response she unmatched me.

Does this actually somehow make me a dangerous person? Is there some sort of extreme negative view of Murphy beds that I am unaware of?

Should I not tell people what I do for work when asked? Or was she likely just reaching for some (unnecessary) excuse to give prior to unmatching me instead of just saying she wasn't interested or just silently unmatching?

Not a big deal because obviously there seems to be some sort of issue there that I just dodged, but I just can't help laughing while also being confused about how strange it is to seemingly feel that threatened over a piece of furniture.

edit: if age makes the context any different we're both in our 40s

Just looking for some opinions here...

I have a very old filling on tooth #15 that stuff got under it and a new cavity formed and made it to the nerve. Its been extremely sensitive and most days quite painful for about 2 months now while I was waiting for my appointment with the person my dentist referred me to for a root canal.

Finally that appointment came and that person didn't do the root canal because they said they had concerns about how the base of the crown would be nearly to the bone and they wanted to discuss it with my dentist.

Fast forward a few days and my dentist calls and tells me i will need periodontal surgery in order to get the root canal and crown.. otherwise I can get an extraction and an implant.

Both are expensive as hell for me, my insurance isn't in network anywhere but the root canal place and it barely pays anything anyway.

I had a root canal in the past and the tooth fractured, which was rough to pay for something that expensive when it failed. I ended up getting an extraction and implant for that tooth and that was obviously also very expensive and I have never been happy with it. Even after a couple years my jaw is regularly sore right where the implant is, the crown is terrible and the top is basically flat so the tooth opposite of it doesn't sit right and my gums are always inflamed around it and under it

I'm also seeing a lot of stuff saying a root canal on tooth #15 is high risk for failure or future issues, especially since my teeth are just generally in poor shape.

The root canal place did say I could probably be fine if I did just the extraction without an implant but I'm worried how it will affect my chewing and any eventual shifting of other teeth and messing my bite up more than it already is as a result of it being gone.

I'm really at a loss of which route to go because they both seem like expensive bad ideas at this point and the dentist isn't saying one is better then the other, more like these are your 2 options now make a decision.

I placed an order over a month ago, one item was on back order but came back into stock 3 days later. Everything but that item arrived quickly and I expected to receive that last item not long after.

Nothing more ever came and no communication about it etc...

After giving it an extra week or so I emailed support asking about it and it took them almost another week to respond, and they told me the item has been back in stock but before they will ship it I have to call their phone support and talk to someone else. Just having to do that plus the fact that the phone hours are inconvenient for anyone living on the east coast that has a day time job means I was unable to stay on the line long enough during breaks at work for someone to actually pick up.

Today I finally got to talk to someone and they told me that the order had already been canceled because they didnt get the call from me sooner. I explained how the communication from them was poor and that being forced to call during hours that I have limited time during was difficult for me to wait long enough for someone to pick up. And again I was never even emailed or anything about the item being canceled and the order section on my account on their webpage says its still being fulfilled, but knowning that it was canceled would have saved me the hassle of trying to call them.

The support person didnt seem to care or even be interested in the issues their system has presented or how long I have been waiting for this item and he just offered to give me free shipping on the item, which it was free shipping on the original order already lol thanks for offering to give me what it already was supposed to be.. so yeah I said no thanks because its 28% off on amazon and will be here in 2 days for free lol

I just feel like this whole process was a bit of a joke with very poor communication and just a terrible process for handling backordered items. And then offering to give me exactly what the order was already supposed to be and acting like they were doing me a favor is laughable.

Anyone else have these struggles? It makes me not even want to buy from them again, at least not from their webpage, is this normal for them?
