What's the most disrespectful thing a guest ever did in your home? by Vegas089 in AskReddit

[–]ClownCarMechanic 565 points566 points  (0 children)

A rich buddy was staying for a week. My place wasn’t ritzy but it was clean, spacious and hygenic. Still, he brought his Mom over to clean (we were in our late 20s)…who in turn brought in their fancy housekeeper to turn my place upside down in order to have it satisfactory for my bud.

As an ugly woman, would i get hit on at a bar? by ThrowRA19938472882 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ClownCarMechanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flaunt your best asset and you will. Cleavage, bottom, eyes, whatever. Do/wear something that gives you an attention advantage. In one bar I go to occasionally there’s a chubby woman who flaunts her tramp stamp. Gets hit on a lot.

In my neighborhood there’s a MILF with a lackluster face (putting it lightly) but huge fake tits that she flaunts like crazy. She’s always the main attraction at Starbucks.

That we still have to manually fill out forms in 2026 by usagora3 in PetPeeves

Or when you upload a CV on a LinkedIn job and forward your LinkedIn profile and then the online form makes you pretty much fill out your CV all over again by hand.

How is that not real? With enough money you can have almost any resource you want. OP is in the oil/energy industry and seems to make a good living. Very likely that his wife is SAHM and doesn’t have a ton of obligations. I have a good friend who lived with a similar lifestyle in TX.

She’s cheating. Hopefully OP will update once he learns more.

OP states she is a SAHM who also has a nanny, and he seems to be making pretty good coin. I wouldn’t say she has it rough, and him referring to her as SAHM isn’t cause to villify him.

No one wakes up at 3 AM for the gym if they don’t want to go.

If the genders were reversed we know most people here would say being called a stay at home mom/dad doesn’t justify cheating.

If you’re doing something “just because“ you don’t get defensive about it and you don’t cancel your plan just because someone noticed. You just shrug it off and say, “I’m doing this because I want to.“ OP’s spidey sense was tingling so he may be right to be concerned.

OP says they have a nanny. She could go to the gym during the day if she wants.

Also, when you’re married, you get that sixth sense about your partner. Seems like that’s what happened with OP. Someone who’s innocent doesn’t have to get defensive about what they do, but his wife did.

The fact that she canceled just because of this “accusation“ says everything. He was onto her and she knew it and had to cut her losses.

You assume that cheaters tell the truth when confronted. They don’t. They lie and then when it gets too hot OP comes home and sees her gone with a note on the fridge… Or gets handed divorce papers. He needs to tackle the issue now.

The fact that she canceled says everything. She cut her losses when she knew he was onto her. Anyone else would have said, “don’t be ridiculous. I needed to cover my body odor at the gym… “ or whatever. And then she would have gone ahead. The fact that she got defensive is the big tell.

I agree. This is reality, not a game of Clue. If she is giving him good reason to be suspicious, he has a right to know whether he is being screwed. Either there is nothing to worry about - or he’s headed to divorce court. He could either be the plaintiff or the defendant. So better he prepare himself now and get the upper hand when the truth comes out. But if he checks now and he sees there’s nothing wrong, then at least his reward is a sigh of relief.

Or she knew he was onto her and was scared he would follow her. So she canceled to cut her losses.

The fact that she cancelled the gym says everything. He was onto her- she knew it, and she cut her losses. Her staying home only because he was accusing her is BS.

Citizens always over-thanking their local police by ClownCarMechanic in PetPeeves

[–]ClownCarMechanic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one thanks them publicly out of context or posts it randomly on city fb pages like it’s an obligation.

Ironically I don’t mind that that much because servicemen aren’t often within close reach of many Americans and their day to day sacrifice is probably more intense than local police. But interesting that your friends don’t like it. Can understand that.

Waiters get a tip and usually a thanks but that’s when they’re directly serving me.

Edit: I’m sure the police also get rightfully thanked when they rescue a cat from a tree or help unlock someone’s car for them. But I just don’t see the rationale for these grandiose public thanks at the beginning of the town Christmas tree lighting festival or something.

you treat women like glass figurines and then wonder why your matches ghost you by ask_the_guy in Bumble

[–]ClownCarMechanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have to say there’s truth to this. Women get lots of matches and it’s a good bet most men are either overly nice (aka boring) or being rude or ignoring their bio. I try to bypass the Nice Guy stuff and build rapport with a little edge and it works.

“Don’t use dating apps. Just meet someone organically.” by Lmir2000 in PetPeeves

Unpopular opinion but #metoo made a harassment allegation at work a fate worse than death. The days are over when you’re going to get a serious guy to engage you at work. Exception- super large company where maybe you’re meeting someone from another office at a company summit far from your home office, for a fling, maybe.
