Is it me? Is it something about the way I talk? Or is it them? Can these certain people not conceive of the idea of talking about something without being worried about it? I'm just making conversation.

I get it if it’s at a place like Starbucks when you verbally say it. Everyone has a special way of spelling their name and you can’t know the spelling based on how it was said.

But when my name is literally written out in the previous email and you are replying to that email…bruh.

Makes me want to passive aggressively write theirs incorrectly too.

Whether it’s housecleaning, car washing, grass cutting, dog walking, whatever.

If you can afford to pay someone fairly to perform a service, then do it. You’re not under some obligation to do everything yourself if you don’t have to, and there’s nothing wrong with, y’know, paying people for work.

Why even fucking care? If they’re getting paid well, then who gives a shit. Work is work. My aunt pays someone $150 a week to clean her house for four hours. My mom bitches about how my aunt is lazy and “selfish”. Look, $150 for four hours’ work is almost forty dollars an hour, so it’s not like she’s being exploited - and for the love of God, what difference does it even make? Would she be moaning if my aunt was paying someone to change her car’s oil or bake a birthday cake? But she could do that herself!

We’re all short on time. There’s nothing wrong with trying to find more by paying someone else to handle something for you. You have a job, they have a job, we’re all being paid by somebody to do something.

Disclaimer: The biggest controversy in this would likely be food delivery. Apps overcharge and treat drivers as contractors, but as someone who used to do DoorDash to make ends meet, I didn’t really resent anyone for ordering food and having me deliver it - but it still wasn’t ideal. I guess the way I feel about it is, it really depends on the circumstances, but the guy who called me lazy and self-indulgent for ordering food when I had COVID, and barely had the energy to go to the bathroom, can shut the hell up.

I am a woman and I have experienced an abusive relationship but I LEFT.

I honestly don't even wanna hear it. I give advice based on my personal experience and they just never wanna hear it. I waste my time telling them how much happier they would be if they left & all that stuff JUST FOR THEM TO GO BACK TO THE ABUSIVE MAN. I find it pathetic. I'm sick of having to constantly be empathetic towards this when women refuse to help themselves by leaving. Be stronger and know you deserve better.

If you think you deserve the shitty treatment/abuse fine THEN STAY but be quiet and quit complaining if you don't wanna do better by yourself🙄
