Exactly. This is why I wondering if they had Dave's return date wrong. I could see them thinking Dave and family was getting home sooner, and not realizing they had to go over and check on the dogs that day, but just leaving it? Or at least attempting to clean some of it, and leaving a note as to what happened?
I watched our neighbour friend's hamster for a week. Before they left, I had asked in jest what to do if it died. They gave me a couple laughs and said wrap it in a plastic bag and put it in the freezer so we can bury it when we get back.
It died on April Fools Day. When I emailed my buddy to let him know it died, he didn't believe me. I sent the picture of the corpse freezer bag. They will not let me forget this at all.

Some more information for my fellow english-speakers
Had a complete breakdown at work after a very bad call. For fucks sake, I don't care how angry you are, DON'T TAKE IT OUT ON THE PERSON TRYING TO HELP YOU.
I am so sick and fucking tired of being yelled at for things I didn't do. For things I have no control over. For following company policy or procedure. I am just so fucking tired and burnt out and it just doesn't stop. It never stops. Day in, day out, all I do is get yelled at over things I have zero control over. And there is NOTHING else out there for me. Nothing. I'm turning 46 this year and there is nothing for me. This is my life now. This is all my life is. It's probably my penance for being such a toxic asshole who pushes everyone away. I deserve this. I'm trapped in this fucking job for the rest of my life. If I'm lucky, I'll have a heart attack or get hit while biking to end my miserable, pathetic life and put me out of my misery.

You do not deserve that. No one does. You obviously have customer service skills or you wouldn't last in a job like that. I used to have one very similar and it sucked. When I finally left that job, my parents said it was like getting their daughter back. I was such a different person then. All I can do is give you hugs and tell you to hang in there. Update your resume, maybe apply for something if it looks interesting. Worst case, nothing changes and at least you've gotten your resume updated.
I am sick and tired of people posting photos of words in small print on reddit. Just copy and paste the fucking text already!
Remember this dickhead, who sent me death threats after getting his Twitter account suspended for...sending death threats?
He created another Twitter account since then. Because I don't respond kindly to death threats, I've been keeping an eye on his account to see if he said anything reportable.
Today, it was this little nugget. This was in response to a Libs of Tiktok post (LoT has been reported themselves multiple times for being indirectly the cause of hospital bomb threats and being very anti-trans).
Would anyone who still has Twitter kindly go and report this tweet for sharing personal information? I'd like to see his account suspended again.
I thought about contacting his employer, since he included it in his email to me. But 1) It's been months since he sent it, so they'd question why I'm waiting until now. 2) That seems like a bigger escalation than just getting his Twitter account suspended again.
Twitter moderation sucks these days (and it wasn't very good before Musk bought it). When I reported this guy's previous account for death threats, I was genuinely surprised he got and remained suspended.
I figure it's always worth a shot to report it.
Didn't sleep the night before last and poorly last night. It's really affecting my emotional state. I feel slightly drunk or high now. Don't know what's causing it. I am going to work out this afternoon to physically wear myself out. Falling asleep is fine but staying asleep is the problem.
This. You were there for her when she needed you the most and you loved her enough to show her the ultimate mercy. She can run and frolic forever now thanks to you. No more pain. No more fear.
I'm so, so sorry for your loss, my dude.
My mother had an AFib heart attack today. Luckily it seems like they caught it in time to where they could stabilize her without seemingly too much damage. She's still in the hospital at the moment, but my dad says that it seems like they may release her back home tonight.
This all scared me so much.

Hope she gets the treatment she needs. All the best!
Looks like she may have not had a heart attack, just the AFib. But her heart wouldn't correct itself, and was fluctuating erratically. So today they put her under and shocked her heart back into normal rhythm. It seems to have done the trick, but she once again is staying overnight just in case.
I answered an Ask Reddit post, "Why are you single?" and...it got me to voice a lot of what I'm feeling lately.
My bike got stolen at work today.
My €8000 (new, not in current condition of course) electric speed bike got stolen while locked with two high-quality locks inside a locked metal cage behind a badge reader, and security somehow didn't see or hear anything because apparently they are beyond useless.
Fuck thieves. Also, why the crap steal a bike there?!

... smells like a security guard got himself a bike, imo.
that's nuts. Sorry man.
That's rotten. Is work going to help you out with this?
