26F here. I got laid off a few months back, and have since not been able to find a job. I am very very grateful that I've been able to fall back on my parents for support until I can get another job. (Of course that has its own drawbacks, since my parents can and still are somewhat abusive/infantilizing to me). The process of finding a new job has been very stressful, and I hate being asked about it. It just sends me into a tailspin because there seems to be no end in sight.

Anyway. Since my layoff, I moved to a big apartment building. My building has a doorman who works on the weekdays. I don't go out much, since I'm obviously trying not to spend a lot of money. But my doorman has taken a notice to me being out and about during normal work hours, and will sometimes give me a weird look and ask me, "No work today huh?" And I will casually just say "not today."

He has done it several times now, to the point that it makes me anxious to leave my apartment because I don't want to be asked about what I do for work and have to admit I got laid off and am relying on my parents. But I also don't want to say anything too rude, because this guy works in the building 5x a week.

What can I say to let him know I don't want to be asked, but in a polite way? Idk why but I've noticed that people tend to ask me personal, invasive questions more than the average person. Maybe I just have a certain welcoming vibe.

I've had sinus/breathing issues for most of my life (20's, female). I saw an ENT as a teenager for ongoing colds, but he basically gaslit me telling me there's nothing wrong with me.

Luckily, in college I found an incredible ENT who told me I have a very deviated septum. She did a septoplasty on me in 2021. Even though I have a visibly crooked nose due to the deviated septum, I still opted to have the surgery done by her (and not a septorhinoplasty) because I trusted her. It helped a lot, but didn't fix everything. I am still very congested.

I would still love to have my nose aesthetically corrected. But I'm worried it won't be covered by insurance , because I already had a septoplasty. Recently I have developed a cough that will not go away no matter what and I still have breathing issues. My ENT doesnt know why exactly, but it is breathing related.

I am wondering if getting a septorhinoplasty under insurance is still possible? Or would I have to basically pay for a rhinoplasty now?

EDIT: To clarify, my ENT is only an ENT. She is not double boarded in plastic surgery. Either way I would need to see another doctor for any cosmetic purposes.

I had my first return claim get approved 2 weeks ago, because the button must have fallen off during transit. The buyer waited 7 full days to ship back the return.. which I also thought PM didn't allow. But anyway.

I've been trying to find a clear answer to this question with no success - if a buyer submits a return claim and it is approved/sent back, do I still get my earnings from the sale? Does PM eat the cost or not? Because now that the return was delivered back to me, I have not gotten any earnings from the sale.
