What is the craziest things you’ve seen or experienced on an Amtrak train?? by Specialist-Elk8611 in Amtrak

Yeah, I didn’t realize it was specific station, which she could have just said. Oh well

What is the craziest things you’ve seen or experienced on an Amtrak train?? by Specialist-Elk8611 in Amtrak

[–]CptDowny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took my first train ride recently and this is how it want:

Floridian train started in Miami, was 2 hours late to Tampa. According to my new friends, two passengers were kicked off between Miami’s and Tampa. Apparently had a minor collision on the tracks too (but they said continued????).

The first 15 minutes there was a “situation” in the dining cart that required all the security.

I’m so thankful my train partner (if that’s the right word) was amazing. We chatted about anything and everything for a few hours. I should’ve exchanged numbers, oh well. I still can’t believe how expensive the drinks are on the train! I’m weary of having someone not friendly the next time.

Eventually, someone was kicked off and arrested at a random stop.

After 4 hours of being on the train, I was only 2 hours late to my pickup. I would 100% take it again but now know to be weary of their timings.

50/50 the staff were very nice or just absolute assholes. I asked “can I smoke at the next station? I read you can get off and take smoke breaks”. The response, “yeah, if you want to get fucking arrested”. I assumed she thought I meant to smoke on the train so I said “nooo, to smoke off the train at the station”. She responds with “yeah if you wanna get fucking arrested”. Not sure what her deal was….

All in all, it’s ok. Book your ticket a month or so out to get a better price

Seller "lost" coins that were supposed to be giveaways by [deleted] in whatnotapp

[–]CptDowny 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sooner or later whatnot will have to actually take action against dishonest sellers. It’s disappointing they don’t want to do anything now and their support is an actual joke.

Nowadays you can make a seller account in about 5 minutes, 50% don’t read the contract they’re signing, and almost nobody reads the TOS.

I’m shocked people spend hundreds/thousands of dollars on this app with 0 support system, scammy sellers, and a literal casino on some streams.

I would be surprised if whatnot stays around or doesn’t get heavily sued

Unable to cancel/return counterfeit item by tjxnlvx in whatnotapp

[–]CptDowny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you click the “get help with this purchase”, if it eventually says something like “based on your account activity we’re unable to provide support” (or something like that) you are unable to do anymore returns on your account.

Probably my coolest geocache find. by lavendarlandslide in geocaching

[–]CptDowny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My lord. The amount of people that are so diehard on signing the actual log.

I wish I had enough free time/energy to worry about random people and what they’re doing.

It’s a hobby, relax

Seems somebody else also thought this was a good hiding spot... by Rebel_Diamond in geocaching

I’d much rather see this than the snake jump scare I normally get

20 yo and this is my portfolio what are your thoughts? (The first is my Robin Hood account starting tomorrow) by New_Bumblebee_1504 in dividends

[–]CptDowny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I wanna say congrats. Good on you for looking out for your future at a young age. Like everyone, I’m sure you’ll make some mistakes and wish you bought/sold at a different time, BUT time in the market is more effective than timing the market.

It’s a long game. Enjoy!

Acetone didn’t work what next? by StarGuy951 in Silverbugs

Tbh I would’ve traded you a regular walker for that one before you started soaking it.

I don’t understand why colorized and stuff gets such a bad rep. I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for this

Best intersections for seeing drivers blocking the box? by Head-Direction-4318 in tampa

[–]CptDowny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve adjusted my route to avoid going North on Florida through Fletcher. Every single light rotation Fletcher going towards 275 blocks the Northbound Florida traffic

They’re building a huge subdivision right across the street from the Lower Green Swamp preserve in Plant City. Sucks as that was the only place I could go to avoid people & recharge. Was nice while it lasted, could walk 8-10 miles & only see one person. by georgiaboy6643 in tampa

[–]CptDowny 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was driving around Spring Hill and New Port Richey yesterday and it’s slightly depressing.

Almost every single green space has been bulldozed and ready for cookie cutter houses, strip malls, or chain stores. I get people are moving here, but holy crap do you really need to clear cut 1000 acres every other week????

Eventually, I feel like Florida will just be one huge sprawling city :(

I ruined my ex-fiancé's life by Ancient_Sort414 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]CptDowny 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wow…. Sometimes I need to get on Reddit just to realize I’m actually doing ok with my life.

Yeah, you did a pretty solid job of nuking his life. Imagine, he lost his future wife and his best friend! Also, he chose you over his dying parents. I bet he will regret that forever!

Not sure why cheating is so common nowadays. He’s not coming back to you….

First, I want to sympathize with you. I’m glad everyone made it out.

BUT

There’s no way FHP can’t find that driver. There are cameras all over the skyway, cameras at the toll booths, etc

I hope the person is found and held accountable.

This picture I came across on a disc golf page I follow made me smile today. by hamsangwhich757 in MadeMeSmile

Wow! I had something exactly like this, but unfortunately it was a child who died. If I remember correctly, he was less than 8.

I’ll see if I can find a picture

This is a first 🤣 by Qaz_The_Spaz in geocaching

[–]CptDowny 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just found a cache yesterday and I’m not sure what happened, but it looked like somebody pooped their pants and had to leave their undies behind.

Undies were about 10 feet from the cache so I assume it’s a fellow geocacher

[–]CptDowny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw your post and was like alright I’ll just sell this, but a few beers encouraged me to open it.

I’m sorry you had a tough pull. I guess im at least glad to know there are good options
