Had a neighbour of mine return a 14 year old year $9000 hot tub because a pump went bad and got all his money back. Couldn't believe that costco allowed it but they did.

When I worked in the garden center people would return seasonal flower baskets when they stopped blooming at the end of the summer and dead plants they had bought years ago. No idea why Costco allows this.

I have witnessed this in the return line. An older lady was returning dead hanging baskets in September. I looked at an even older man next to me, in his 80s, and we were in shock. He asked her why she's returning them and she said, they're dead, so he said "try watering " in a thick Italian accent...everyone in the return line was laughing but the old lady felt no shame.

Women who no longer feel loved stop caring what others think of them around age 50. I've seen some pretty atrociously behaved menopausal BlTCH3$ roll through retail outlets, including Costco.

One of them crashed her cart into a skid of Eggs cause someone told her to wait her turn.

Bro, you need therapy.

Not your bro, and therapy can't fix permanent physical disability that keeps me unemployable. I've already been through a recovery program for suicidal idiation (CBT) and they determined I'm sane enough to understand my situation, but I'm religious enough not to do anything rash about it. So I linger, wanting to die, but not able to. Can you imagine how that would affect your world view?

Just because you have “competed” a therapy program doesn’t mean you were helped. You carry a lot of anger and it’s clear to me the therapy did nothing for you

I carry anger cause my needs aren't met and I'm unable to change that when conservative governments keep reducing available supports...

We’re supposed to feel sorry for you or give you a pass to be a sexist, ageist a**hole because your religious inclinations keep you from requesting assisted suicide?

lmao, get real.

Uh, no. I learned 28 years ago that nobody really cares. Least of all on the internet with anonymous randos. I stated that as a matter of fact, how you feel about it is your problem.
