If you don't know Oodies are big, fluffier, warmer Snuggies. And if you don't know what either one of those are its just a big wearable blanket for when its freezing.

(Alsoo apologies in advance for the long as balls explanation of my recent experience)

So my sister has a couple oodies and I thought they were really cute andd I find they're really goodd for when I'm feeling over stimulated or when it's freezing outside and you want to stay warm. So I made an order a little while ago andd my order allegedly got lost in Canada Post. I got the deal of 2 oodies for 119 dollars on September 19th and one of them was low in stock soo they were going to send both of them together on October 16th. I got an email it was on its way the 17th and emailed them on the 22nd to their customer support after I hadn't gotten any updates.

I got an email the same day from a really nice consultant who sent an enquiry to Canada post andd the next day she told me there may be an even bigger delay cause Canada post was getting a lott of customer service requests at the time.

ANYWAYS THO 5 days after my first email I was told they must've been lost in the mail but they still got a quote for the 2-8 day shipping so hoorayy 🙃

But I did some digging about other people with problems with their oodie orders and I had seen somee people left reviews that when something like this happend to them, they got one day shipping from their oodie consultant person for the inconvenience, and I'm not really trying to complain but dudee I feel like it would've been really nice to get something also for the inconvenience.

Anyways though,

It should be here in the next week but overall I've waited a bitt over a month from when I first purchased them to get to this stage and if I didnt message when I did I would probably have been waiting another week from now, so I'm pretty glad I was checking my package progress as much as I was because if not I would've probably gotten it by a bit past early November.

Anyways I hope this helps if your debating on getting an oodie for Christmas or anything.

Just make sure you check your progress if its been delayed and it says it'll be there soon, but in conclusion quality wise they're reallyy goodd! You just can't put them in the dryer when you wash them cause it will ruin them.

Thanks for reading about my experience if you got this far though! And if anyone else has had an issue like this with ordering oodies orr Snuggies I'd love to hear what your experience was like :)

Alright this might be a bit specific, but I cannot tell you how many times someone has hired me to translate a document, and I spend way more time redoing the stupid formatting than actually translating their document, because they put it in a completely harebrained and over the top complicated formatting. Something as simple as a resumé / CV, and they have 300 separate text boxes, when it is so much easier to just type the text and make it look nice in a basic word document. I'm also an artist so don't tell me 'ohh it looks better if there's 1,000 image boxes included!' no it does not and you can do basically the exact same thing and make it look professional in a much simpler and efficient way in word.

I ordered a beige bag but I changed my mind & canceled the order to get the blue color instead.

-#1: It was canceled September 18th, and I still have NOT gotten my $152 back. This is ridiculous because it’s just a cancel. I need my money back wtf?

-#2: I paid $22 extra for 2-3 delivery on the new order. My bag was NOT delivered in that timeframe, it arrived 6 days later after continuously calling longchamp & FedEx. They were absolutely no help whatsoever. (I did eventually get my $22 back for the shipping after contacting them).

The main issue is my refund, you cannot cancel someone’s order and not give them their money back. I literally basically paid $152 for a canceled order. I ended up paying $304 because I still didn’t get my canceled order refund.

I was moving some pallets to take out a water pallet in the back room when I see a little kid couldn’t have been older than like 8. So I walked up to him and asked what he was doing and he said he was trying to get to some whipped cream that was out of reach I told him I would push it forwards for him but can cannot be in the back room ( he had walked past the dairy cooler and was in the unloading trucks area ) and as I was walking him out I asked if his parents had sent him back there he said his mom did so I walked out to the front cooler doors with him and saw his mom. I told her that no one especially a small child is allowed in the back rooms and that it was very dangerous to send him into the unknown, then then scoffed at me said forget it. I said I don’t understand why you are mad that’s very dangerous to send him back there and she stormed off saying “oh my god it’s just a fucking grocery store”.

of course out of the dozens of times i’ve deposited cash at my chase atm after work (i’m a server), the time it chooses to eat my fucking money is the night i worked an almost 12 hour double. i tried to call their “24 hour customer service line” and they’re closed. i want to rage quit life right now.

A few years back a friend of mine did a medical mission trip in South America and invited me to come along. We spent a little over a week in a traveling medical unit providing free care for impoverished locals, who had no access to healthcare.

On the completion of our trip, I walked in on our translator in a heated argument with the president of the group over the donations. We were encouraged to donate sizable sums to our hosts to thank them for housing and feeding and to help them set up for the next group of volunteers. We all donated, and I walked in on a heated argument between the president and our translator, who was upset that the donations were supposed to go to the hosts, but apparently, he was pocketing the money. I was pretty upset and told the others what I heard. They were annoyed but not too surprised. Everyone collectively decided to just forget about it and enjoy the touristy part of our trip.

Later, I got a series of messages from this president asking me to declare that his organization paid for my flight, room and board, so that he could get a tax break. He did not pay for any of it, and the cost of the trip was substantial and from my personal income. I ignored him, and he attempted to get other members to harass me to ask for this tax write off. I told them that if he continued, I would report him for tax fraud, and it all stopped.

Yesterday, the organization sent a recruitment flyer and my image is being used as the face of the organization. This image was downloaded off facebook, and I didn't approve of it. I'm pretty angry because this guy is grifter, and I don't want to be a part of recruitment for someone who steals. However, I do feel the organization did help a lot of the locals get access to medical care, so I have mixed feelings about taking steps to shut them down.

A week ago I commented on a post in r/blackpeopletwitter(not that i have any particular reason to be there, but reddit pushes them to my front page sometimes). It was on a post saying trump doesnt want black people to vote. I thought it would be ammusing to make a satirical comment: "All we really need is one violent day, maybe one real rough hour, then us beautiful ***** people wont have to deal with "undesirables" anymore. Heil Trump"

Im aware it is stupid, im aware i didnt "need" to do that. But it was amusing to me at the time. The sub permabanned me hours later which, meh ok. But then Reddit banned me for a week for promoting hate lol. I thought it was funny at first because the hate in question was a literal quoat from trump. But they denied my appeal that it was sattire and a quoat and continued the ban anyway... lame.

So now that im back I guess i just wanted to talk about it and let the reddit mods know how i feel. Which to be fair is only mildly infuriated but r/mildlyinfuriating doesnt like posts about reddit. Self aware much?

EDIT: yes... quoat... https://youtu.be/uAlgqkRp6gQ?si=g7reKDtD6KuOklUP

I am still upset about this, so please forgive me. Back in June I purchased two tickets to see the musical Wicked in San Francisco (and ended up spending about $400). Partner and I left home three hours before the show started since we live a couple hours away and didn’t want to feel rushed. After about ten minutes of driving, we hear this strange sound and realize we have a flat. Pull off to the side of the road, and the tire looks like it has been slashed (for image reference, it hadn’t actually been). Try calling two towing services with no answer and finally get ahold of the third. We had to wait for about 30-35 minutes for the tow truck to arrive and then take us to a tire shop. Tire shop isn’t busy, but it still takes time with all the loading and unloading the car, then replacing the tire. By the time we were ready to leave, I had spent over $300 for the new tire and the tow. It was too late to even think we could get to the theater in time, so we drove back home, and me realizing that I’d have saved money by just missing the show. As a note, I called up the ticketing with the hopes there was something that could be done, but because of the time, there was nothing they could do. Any chance anyone knows of anything else I can do? It broke my heart since this was technically my own birthday present to myself and now I’m just utterly sad.

What is with people and water bottles, especially teachers who are also parents. Some said no kid should have water bottles through K-12 meaning they can’t have a water bottle until they are 18 years old, I’ve seen some say anyone under 16 shouldn’t have a water bottle. Why is age alone key?

Sure, older kids may be more developed but younger kids need water too. Water is a necessity, no study recommends setting age limits on water bottles.

I think this is commonly used for teachers who are parents, they think water bottles are too loud, disruptive, distractive, and even too bulky for class, they also hate when kids are well-hydrated or have to use the bathroom a lot, so for their own kids they just throw an age limit on them. We didn’t grow up with them, but we suffered from dehydration all day, we used the school bathroom after recess, we sometimes drank out of the fountain, but this wasn’t a good thing. Water fountains are covered in germs, kids put their mouths in them.

Kids need easy and full access to water, except maybe in the car, before bed, or in class. But at home kids need a portable water source. They shouldn’t be forced to drink out of garden hoses and taps. Tap water also varies, sometimes is safe sometimes is not. Drinking from a garden hose is probably as bad as drinking out of a toilet bowl. We shouldn’t make kids suffer from dehydration again like we did with older generations. I’m glad we have the hydration generation.

Ive seen a person complained about teenage boys drinking water at restaurant, well teenage boys need lots of water to support their growth and development.

Children will not necessarily be extremely dehydrated and start fainting or passing out after 3 or even 7 hours, but they will still be hydrated.

Just because you survived drinking little to no water doesn't mean it’s good. I’m glad kids are drinking more after than soda and juice.

It takes a while to become extremely dehydrated, you get dehydrated in your sleep, you get dehydrated during physical activity.

When children are active or participating in outdoor play, they need lots of water. Same for when they are outside on a hot or warm sunny day.

Water intake does vary by age, like a teenager needs more water than a young child.

You can survive not drinking at all for 3 day, is it good? No.

Parents, don’t set age restriction polices on water bottles, they are unhealthy rules and cause unnecessary restrictions for water.

The phrase “what age should children have water bottles” shouldn’t be on debate because kids should have water bottles regardless of age. They are newer, Gen X and millennials didn’t have them, but they are not bad, and don’t make fun of kids for having them

Kids need more water than you think, NOT less. Teenagers need lots of water in order to support their growth and development. Dehydration is bad for brain development, the kidneys, the bladder, it also affects energy levels, sleep, and overall health, it is even worse for a kid or teen to be dehydrated than it is for an adult to be dehydrated, despite an adult needing a higher volume of water a day. Dehydration is not good for dental health either. Not urinating throughout the school day, is also unhealthy, holding in urine for over 7 hours is not healthy for kids (or anyone).

All these older generations want kids to suffer from dehydration like them as kids, and that’s a problem. LET KIDS HAVE THEIR WATER. Don't put age restriction boundaries on water bottles. I’m a new teacher, water bottles can get annoying and I agree, but my own kids have them, I won’t put an age restriction on them because that’s just stupid. Kids can survive without water bottles but it’s not healthy.

The age restriction policy on water bottles is extremely infuriating in my opinion, it’s making kids less hydrated. Its healthy that kids are drinking more water and are the “hydration generation”.

People are treating water bottles like it’s a car, porn book, or an R-rated movie, it’s just ridiculous.

I wanted to post in a relationship advice subreddit, obviously asking for advice on my current relationship and the situation we are in right now. But my s/o also uses reddit so I didn't want to be super specific. I then found that most subbreddits about those issues require you to say your general locations, age, gender and length of your relationship?? Personally I find that to be way too much information because if I included all of that my partner would 100% be able to pinpoint that I was talking about us if they were to find it (they do not have my reddit). I was wondering why this is, why can't anyone have more of an anonymous approach when dealing with private situations but still wanting advice.

I have the WORST luck. Recap of what’s happened since I landed:

• jet lag
• Covid
• UTI
• period (horrible cramps)
• sore throat and body aching

At this point I just want to go home

"that's impossible, It's too big to be one cell."

I shouldn't care that they don't believe me but when they deny it so adamantly it suddenly feels so much more important that they know how eggs work.

He’s taking a little longer in the bathroom, I have a feeling he’s reading a book on the toilet, my son doesn’t know. What??? Do you think he’s reading a book on the toilet or do you think he’s using his smartphone on the toilet?
