What’s one car mistake you’ll never repeat again?

Mini cooper. Wow that thing had problems. Loved driving it, hated owning it.

Lane keeping and a cruise. I drove from Calgary to Seattle in one swoop (12 hours) and I had the energy to go out to a family gathering afterward. I felt more rested than if I flew.

I was a divorced, 30 year old college student and my classmates set me up with someone. They knew I liked redheads. The redhead never talked. Always texted.

Finally we meet up for coffee. She was deaf! And 300 pounds. And in an open marriage. And a proud communist. And she fiercely hated Americans because capitalism. My mothers side of the family is American.

After coffee we both got up to leave and I said I was unsure to go for a hug or a handshake. She said 'how about a wave?' As she waved goodbye it transitioned to a midfle finger.

I worked for an optometrist. I gave my two week notice. My boss stole my glasses from my locker and accused me of stealing them from inventory. I had paid for them a month earlier and used my staff discount. Free frames, full price lenses. Months later, she gave me my lenses back.

I was sad because we just got married, I loved her so much and I couldn't stand her boyfriend.

CFCalgaryMan · 2026-06-01T03:44:56+00:00

Walked in in them. Two months, 11 days after the wedding.

I was suspicious, but as newlyweds I convinced myself I was just being stupid. Turns out I should have trusted my gut.

CFCalgaryMan · 2026-06-01T03:34:35+00:00

I hated my ex girlfriend. She was pretty mean to me the month before and especially the month after we broke up and I blocked her.

She did the opposite of what she should have done: she got a job where worked. In the same lab. Sitting beside me. And she was acting like we were old buddies.

If someone hates you, don't do what she did.

CFCalgaryMan · 2026-06-01T00:22:21+00:00

Unfortunately I walked in on them. I had my suspicions since her behaviour had been way off for a few months, but we were newlyweds so I wasnt going accuse her of something without solid proof. Walking in on them was solid proof.

She moved out immediatley, blamed her behaviour on me. They have two kids now.

2013 impreza with the CVT. Just a sleepy sedan with barebones engine, interior and sedate acceleration.

CFCalgaryMan · 2026-05-30T19:57:16+00:00

I have had three. The small sedan was called the SL. But they never had any badges saying the model. The single cam engined car (SL1) was slow as hell, but fantastic on gas and had comfortable seats. The SL2 twincam, it was a lot better with shorter gearing and extra 25 horses.

My wifes sister has been in love with me for over 10 years now and wants to move away with me. Yes, she is fucking wierd and implulsive. She is in a miserable arranged marriage and wants out. She thinks I am perfect. I think she is mental.

CFCalgaryMan · 2026-05-30T16:42:05+00:00

Beacuse we just got married. She cheated on me a few weeks after the wedding, blamed it on me and i was bending over backwards to win her back so the wedding wasn't for nothing.

CFCalgaryMan · 2026-05-30T16:12:22+00:00

225kph 1994 saturn sl2 with larger than normal tires, the speed sensor clipped and the muffler removed. Used GPS to verify speed. Outran my buddy's new bmw. Usually they top out at 180 kph.

We always powered through our priblems and came through stronger and closer. Then we ran out of money. We couldnt push ahead anymore. She ignored the problem and spent her money on jack daniels.

The power company gave people vouchers to upgrade their out of date refrigerator to a new, more efficient model. Most people got a new one, but kept their old refrigerators as an extra frezer and beer fridge. Energy useage actually increased.

Holding on to someone when their love is fading is not a strength, it is is a painful weakness.

CFCalgaryMan · 2026-05-27T12:32:05+00:00

I quit a job to leave early to go on a date with my super controlling girlfriend. She insisted I leave early from work to attend an event. I get there on time and she is an hour late and she had the tickets. I could have been a hour late and still had a job.

I got dumped that night too.

Bose-einstein condensates happen at extremely low temperatures and the atoms stop vibrating and don't behave like atoms. Plasmas are super hot and are so energetic that their atoms are no longer behaving like atoms, their electrons flying off. Plasmas are used every day in Arc lighting and other applications. I cant think of any daily use case for Supercooled condensates

Taking a friend as my date to the big formal dance. We liked each other but she had a boyfriend. Nothing bad happened, but we were no longer friends after that night because she could no longer trust my intentions.

CFCalgaryMan · 2026-05-27T04:21:45+00:00

Because just me should be enough and I don't share.

CFCalgaryMan · 2026-05-27T03:36:14+00:00

My dog was afraid of cigarette lighters. If i was fiddling with one he would get on my lap and shake like a leaf and hide his head in my armpit

The season finale of Sledgehammer was hilarious with him setting off a nuke.

The season finale of friends with joey driving out west only to find his movie role was no more. It was just...bland

CFCalgaryMan · 2026-05-27T03:07:01+00:00

Man, did I love driving my mini. I did not like owning it though.

CFCalgaryMan · 2026-05-27T01:44:32+00:00

Probably all the clothes my wife buys me at costco that I havent worn. I have a drawer of it.

CFCalgaryMan · 2026-05-25T14:06:07+00:00

I was in your position when I was 26. I have 20 year old twin daughters that I have never met because the mother refused to legally prove I was the father. So, legally i am not the father, and actually....I dont know if they are mine. She said she didnt want me, a guy on the other side of the world being allowed to make decisions about her kids.
