  • I'm glad to see other people think this is off too - I definitely feel more confident now to chat to neighbours and work something out or even just put in a report. Thank you so much! by nb3215 (Mon 18th Oct 2021 12:04pm)
  • Thank you for the link and your thoughts, after seeing how many people also think it's creepy too I think I'll take action - the log is a great idea to back up a report, thanks so much by nb3215 (Mon 18th Oct 2021 12:02pm)
  • I do actually, what a great idea! Thanks so much - I think I'll end up doing both of these by nb3215 (Mon 18th Oct 2021 12:06pm)
  • Thank you for this - this is such a non-inflammatory response so if he reacts negatively I'll just have another interaction to stick in the report log. by nb3215 (Mon 18th Oct 2021 12:14pm)
  • Zoom calls is very believable actually and pretty accurate too - thank you for this! by nb3215 (Mon 18th Oct 2021 12:11pm)
  • I'm definitely going to chat to neighbours and fire a report in after seeing everyone's responses, thank you! by nb3215 (Mon 18th Oct 2021 12:16pm)
  • Good advice, thank you!! by nb3215 (Mon 18th Oct 2021 12:15pm)
  • This is really good advice, thanks for taking the time I appreciate it a lot! I think you're right, it's time to say something especially incase it's a regular thing for other folk nearby too. Thank you! by nb3215 (Mon 18th Oct 2021 1:23pm)
  • Thank you so much for this, I'm definitely going to take action after reading everyone's comments. I'm sorry you guys have experienced this too, it's so odd that some people actively seek out these kinds of interactions! by nb3215 (Mon 18th Oct 2021 1:21pm)
  • I've rented a few different flats around West End during my studies and I've never had the same postie each day until now either, so it's unfortunate that this is the regular! Thanks for your advice, I'm going to properly document and report these incidents from now on for sure. by nb3215 (Mon 18th Oct 2021 1:27pm)
  • This is a really good point as I think he does know my name - I've just gone through my social media and made sure it's as restricted as possible, so he shouldn't be able to see anything of note if he is that way inclined. Thank you! by nb3215 (Mon 18th Oct 2021 1:32pm)
  • That's good to know, thank you! Until this flat, I've always had positive interactions with postal staff even if they're brief/rushed. I'm glad it'll be taken seriously, I feel better about reporting it thank you by nb3215 (Mon 18th Oct 2021 1:30pm)
  • Ok that's good to know, thank you for this! by nb3215 (Mon 18th Oct 2021 4:41pm)
  • No, but do you get all of your views on how society/women work from clichéed porno scenarios or just this one? by nb3215 (Mon 18th Oct 2021 6:08pm)
  • ....he is literally the same age as my Dad. Why is the onus on me to tell him that someone less than half his age (who has never expressed interest in the first place) isn't interested in him, rather than on him to do, oh I don't know, his job in a professional manner? Does your idea of a romantic movie usually include grooming and harassment? by nb3215 (Mon 18th Oct 2021 6:06pm)
  • I have no idea why you're cutting him so much slack - what good reason does a man in his 50s have to assume that a girl in her early 20s is sexually interested in him? Especially when he is EVIDENTLY trying to smoke her out of her own flat by pressing the doorbell until she answers? I'm not about to start something with a man on my doorstep when I'm alone and have no idea how the scenario will play out. If your next comment is to manufacture a scenario where I'm not alone, save it as that's going wildly out of my way to prevent something that shouldn't be happening in the first place when I could just report it, you know, since it's wildly inappropriate. PS. I'm more than used to turning men down when they actually express interest in a normal healthy fashion. Managing harassment, or sexual harassment, is not something any woman should 'have to get used to' but thank you for your wildly misogynistic contribution by nb3215 (Mon 18th Oct 2021 6:19pm)
  • Ok since your male perspective literally won't quit - I'm sure you've heard of the phrase 'not all men'. That's true, not all men harass women, not all men are rapists, not all men are (pick whatever word you want really). But the thing is, it only takes one man. I really hope that you are more protective of the women in your life than the disregard you've shown for my personal safety and comfort - giving men who display predatory behaviour the benefit of the doubt is not a useful method of action, and I can't believe I'm actually having to spell that out to you. If you were a woman routinely on the receiving end of harassment in your daily life, would you want to play that lottery? Why should I, to be polite just incase the nice man is just accidentally harassing me for months on end, whoopsies? His actions don't warrant politeness, and neither do your frankly prehistoric views on how women should just be nice and put their 'poor old sod' harassers out of their misery by saying 'i don't fancy you' and have the issue magically go away, as if harassment is a normal or typical method of courtship. Anyway, that's the last of my free time I feel willing to give to over-explaining the obvious to someone who genuinely thinks victim-blaming is a useful tactic, but you are very free to go bother somebody else in the interim. by nb3215 (Mon 18th Oct 2021 7:11pm)
  • PS congrats on the girlfriend but I am very very very unlikely to shag my pensioner postman. Have a nice night, and as you said when men aren't getting the hint - here's me telling you to please fuck off :) let's see if that works eh? by nb3215 (Mon 18th Oct 2021 10:14pm)
  • I think the people have spoken pal x by nb3215 (Mon 18th Oct 2021 10:10pm)
  • Ah it's not this guy, unfortunate that there's more odd ones about though... by nb3215 (Tue 19th Oct 2021 9:00am)
  • That's so terrible, I'm sorry you went through that. That response from the company isn't good enough either, that kind of abuse warrants being fired in my opinion - pretty sure that's what would happen to most of us if we did that at work! Hope you've got someone nice doing deliveries now. by nb3215 (Tue 19th Oct 2021 9:07am)
  • Oh my gosh you are the sweetest, thank you so much! This sums up how I've been feeling perfectly. Your idea above about the timings between buildings is great, I might well enquire about that - I've ordered a video doorbell too so hopefully that'll document the difference between how he is at my flat and the other ones on my floor too. Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement this honestly means the world ❤️ by nb3215 (Tue 19th Oct 2021 9:16am)
  • In a bar, conversing with strangers is normal and expected, and we feel more safe telling you we're not interested as it's at least understandable and not entirely unexpected that we were approached. In a supermarket? That's predatory dude, you're supposed to be shopping for food, not women. Tesco and Tinder are not the same thing - people like this are the reason I wear earphones literally everywhere and am afraid to leave my home without them. It leaves me vulnerable to hearing the weird shit y'all just haaave to say, whether you think it's a compliment or not, just save it. by nb3215 (Wed 17th Nov 2021 5:16pm)
  • I literally didn't call you a predator, I said your behaviour was predatory, which you could easily stop - it so wasn't personal. As a writer you should definitely understand the difference in the language between 'predator' and 'predatory', it's hardly nuanced?? But thank you for the well-wishes, continue bothering women as you please ps. you should check out r/niceguys I think you'd find some like-minded basement dwellers (that one was personal xxx) by nb3215 (Wed 17th Nov 2021 7:07pm)
  • I'm not, unfortunately that's not it either. I didn't mention the middle lane as I'm not sitting in it, I stay in the leftmost lane and I'm very aware about staying in the correct lane for my speed so as not to annoy people. As I already said it's not about overtaking as I could figure that one out myself.... I also specified that it happens off the motorway too. by nb3215 (Mon 6th Dec 2021 6:16pm)
  • I had the same issue with damp vs budget recently! I wanted a Meaco from recommendations but the model for my budget it didn’t quite cover a large enough area (2 bed flat). I ended up with this model from Curry’s and I love it - I run it a few hours a day and that’s enough to keep the damp at bay, and now my clothes dry really quickly. I got it on sale to £120 a month or so ago, so it’s worth keeping an eye on. Best of luck! https://www.currys.co.uk/products/logik-l20dh19-dehumidifier-10191849.html by nb3215 (Tue 26th Jul 2022 6:15pm)
  • It’s definitely doable! It’s hard to get a flat at the minute and it’s more expensive than ever, but compared to Dublin I think cost of living is overall still cheaper. The rental market might be different than you’re used to - flats that come up tend to be available to move in almost immediately, or at least within 28 days (a tenant’s notice period here). Sometimes the landlord will prioritise a tenant who can move in soonest. It can be hard to get a flat without being here to view it - closer to your move, you could maybe book a hotel for a few days and try and pack some viewings in! Try SpareRoom too, you might be able to get a room or pair up with someone who’s in Glasgow and can do flat viewings for you. Loads of locations here you can make work for you so all I’d say on that is buses are crap, try to be near a train station or subway. As for finding a job, it doesn’t take long at all if you’re not fussy/are happy to take anything in the interim (loads of hospitality which could be nice for meeting folk, call centres etc) but there’s also loads of grad schemes going here if you’re into tech/finance/banking - these take longer to process and generally start in September and January each year. Hope this helps! Good luck by nb3215 (Tue 21st Mar 2023 2:10am)
  • I’m so sorry this has happened. I had a Doberman before - he was my absolute best pal and so full of personality, this broke my heart to read :( Will help spread the word and keep a keen eye out, best of luck by nb3215 (Tue 18th Apr 2023 2:23pm)
  • I’ve had good luck with Mozillion for iPhones before, believe they come with a decent warranty too by nb3215 (Tue 4th Jul 2023 4:15pm)
