eBay and zero feedback buyers on the opposite coast.
For buying, that's almost always a massive red flag and instant nope. Unless you check their account and find they have sold a few items already but nobody has left them any feedback. You can always message them to at least try to get a feel for how genuine they are.
If it's somebody buying from you then all you can do is send the item and seek divine intervention, pray that in five days you will not receive a return request because, oh I don't know, somebody bought a PC and thought it was defective because they couldn't connect to their neighbour's wifi because they didn't know the password and sent it back broken, smelling faintly of onions and with all the accessories missing, before leaving negative feedback.
Edit: You literally said it’s a buyer. I done not learned to read good.0 -

Almost never. I have lived in the south all my life where I would assume this is depicted as common. Paper plates are only used for workplace events, birthday parties, BBQs, etc. Never for normal, daily use.
Thank you for the insight. I was wondering if it might be regional. I live fairly rural but other than the college students & for certain informal festive occasions, I don’t really see anyone using them.
When I was in a very busy season and my dishwasher broke and there were six people in my household I tried them for daily use. That lasted less than a week. It was more efficient to revamp my washing up routine.
I think it's funny because when our dishwasher died a few years ago and we had to wait a couple weeks for the new one to arrive, it never once crossed my mind that I could have used paper plates and plastic cutlery, but in retrospect I probably would give it a go if it happened again0 -
It didn’t really work out well for me, but I could see somebody in a different situation having better luck with it.ButterMeMuffinz wrote: »itchmyTwitch wrote: »ButterMeMuffinz wrote: »Do Americans really use paper plates as often as the media has lead me to believe

I believe whatever children you have are still quite small, so let me point you down a different road from the one I took: train them young not to be annoying little *kitten* that make messes right after you’ve cleaned up1 -

In terms of leaving their dishes everywhere? Absolutely! So far I've been lucky because they friggen offer to help with the dishes so I am taking my free child labour whenever I can

We visited relatives who live in Texas and use paper plates and plastic cutlery (I so hate paper plates so wasteful).
Any time we used some I offered to do the dishes. The cousin found it amusing, then again he was probably drunk, his wife not so much
Yes, for casual company and large groups of family visiting I might use paper plates.
This wasn't large groups this is what they use for their family. Drives our uncle nuts he doesn't understand why they do this
I personally hate plastic cutlery I always get the fork that breaks1 -

Ever have one of those days where so much is on your mind but you just don't have the spoons to begin to understand it, let alone share it with others, leaving you with this heavy burden to carry and no words to explain to those (who can't see) why you're just too tired to be human?
Yeah.. same.3 -

I wish I could give you a couple of my spoons today1 -

Doesn't help but this too shall pass. I call what you're going through the fog and eventually it'll clear. Sucks to be going through it but be kind to yourself and look after yourself.1 -

one of my favorite sayings is "it came to pass"... it didn't come to stay.
Thank you for that reminder.

I set myself a goal for this month and because I can be a little bit of a perfectionist, if I hit a snag early in the month I might say *kitten* it and give up the whole thing. So I wrote down that 80% is still a success. It’s right there in pen and ink on the goal itself. I’m not saying that I’m aiming for 80% but life happens.1

I am this way too. A bit of an All or Nothing mentality. 80% is still SIGNICANTLY better than 0%

Good idea - 80% will always be better than 0% - the all or nothing approach usually leads to failure - although you only fail if you don’t continue to try2 -
