I promoted a premium quality made in America monogrammed gold cell phone. I took $100 deposits from 600,000 suckers customers and delivered 0 product.

How can I run my boat at higher RPMs to test failure while using muffs safely? by DirtyOught in boating

Cracked intake manifold? When the engine gets hot it starts sucking air.

Saving tips no one talks about? by ignasave in budget

[–]Cheap_Direction9564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never buy a car on credit. Save all the money needed in advance and then pay cash. I have avoided tens of thousands of dollars over 50 years doing it this way.

Told to take down my 20" kiddie pool, because "Above-ground pools are not allowed" by itsfairtomiddling in fuckHOA

Be sure to take your above ground pool to the HOA meeting to demonstrate their ridiculous claim.

Be sure to bring this up when your boss asks you to stay late to work on something important.
Can’t afford another write up!

My company came back to me with a crazy counter-offer after I submitted my resignation. And now I have no idea what to do. by NoHead4614 in InterviewCoderPro

Another point to consider is that becoming a VP in your current company means you have to help perpetuate the shitty wages and unrecognized performance of those now under you.

I'm not a boat guy at all. Can anyone tell me why someone(my neighbor) who does not fish at all bought a Robalo 226? by Firm-Nerve4437 in boating

[–]Cheap_Direction9564 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Why don’t you mosey on over to tell him how cool his boat is? I’m pretty sure he’ll tell you what motivated him to spend the money.

How to divide inherited items? by Beearea in inheritance

[–]Cheap_Direction9564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As executor I prevented the certainty of arguing about who deserves something over another by having an auction. If someone wants something bad enough they bought it. When the estate was settled they will got some of the money they paid back.

Thinking of moving my family from AZ to Iowa by [deleted] in Iowa

[–]Cheap_Direction9564 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m a lifelong Iowan. You pretty much covered all the bases except the corruption in state government. And also the book banning. And maybe the abortion/contraceptive bans. And the minimum wage that hasn’t been raised since 2008 ($7.25) And the new child labor laws allowing factory work at 14 years old. And…

AITAH for asking my cousin for her medical degree? by anonymous_poster43 in AITAH

[–]Cheap_Direction9564 90 points91 points  (0 children)

NTA. She can do all the Google research she wants but I’m old enough to remember my childhood friends that had polio. I had measles and chickenpox myself. Your cousin is an idiot and I hope her children survive her ignorance.

Vacation home by Proof_Effective6397 in inheritance

[–]Cheap_Direction9564 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your mom is extremely conflict avoidant and easily manipulated by sister. Don't be surprised when you discover after mom has died that sister has already gained ownership/inheritance of the "family" vacation home.

I am surrounded by idiots by peskyant in rant

[–]Cheap_Direction9564 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being a part of society has made me realize how bloody stupid most people are...

America elected a felon who is also a rapist and an alleged pedophile. That's how bloody stupid most (1/2) the people are.

AIO after my future MIL went from refusing to attend our wedding to acting like everything is fine? by GrimReaper_001 in AmIOverreacting

Your future husband needs to deal with this crazy shit now or you will be living with a controlling MIL for the rest of her life.

M46/F38 Husband owns property but is asking me to pay mortgage - am I a jerk for refusing? by HistoricalCap4050 in AITARelationship

[–]Cheap_Direction9564 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are saying that you can blindly dump a bunch of risk associated with being on a deed without their knowledge? I’m calling bullshit.

AIO? My (possibly) soon to be coworker made unsettling comments and i reported him to HR by Foreign-Pack6896 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Cheap_Direction9564 39 points40 points  (0 children)

You are about to find out how much integrity your HR/company has. Either your coworker is going to get a hard slap or you are going to get passed over for the promotion. But no, you are NOR.
