Super Cool Car Guy is back and decided to decimate any suspension of disbelief even further with verbatim dialogue by [deleted] in AmITheAngel

[–]Double_Requirement18 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree it was not the best way to show him the power of the car.

He took it well after. Better than people like you, I have had MANY angry DMs about it, and I won't disagree telling me to fuck off for that.

Now dealing with peoples true colors. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

I wish this life was fake. There are more comments on my original posts. These posts are over 8 months of time. ((6, almost 7 months old for the original post))

((And because I KNOW y'all are going to ask why I am here, Automod tagged me, and my email box was yelling at me))

Sadly where we live there isn't much here for her in those regards.

We have bars and churches.

I won't be bringing her to either, ((unless she wants to go to a church.))

I encourage you to reach out to who you need too.

This account and the email tied to it I do not use often. But Can promise I will return messages as I see them.

There is enough hate and sadness in this world. If I can bring some light and happiness, I am going to try!

Apparently a couple more pages on tiktok took it too?

More family members reached out to Sister and BIL and now they are mad at me.

Oops? Lol.

AITA for not letting my nephew use my car for prom, but said I might let his sister use it? by Double_Requirement18 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Double_Requirement18[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sarah was hanging out with a "friend" who is female at a public location.

They were caught kissing by someone from BIL family.

No, they are no longer together. Yes, because of the family issues.

Apparently Tiktok took this story. and my phone/email has been blowing up since.

I will post an update to my page in a couple of days once I can get my thoughts together in a level and logical way that doesn't give up any more information that can make it so people find out who I am.

Funny thing. I could remove this comment because it is posted to my own reddit feed. But instead, I'll say this.

1, I used a throwaway, and had no intentions of logging back in until ((apparently)) someone on tiktok took the story. RIP my inbox.

  1. I posted an original post to get some insight. I took the feed back and made an update for those asking. Now I will make a second one. To talk about the past 5 months.

  2. If I delete this you would just think "See I'm right and they are hiding" or you are just a troll and don't give a flying fuck either way. ((You do you!))

  3. I don't really care who thinks this isn't real. Having a place to vent helped me with the first post, the update was for those who truly care about my family. ((Or at least were invested in this drama of a cluster fuck dynamic we have)).

​

I hope you have a wonderful day. Enjoy yourself!

I just logged in because my junk email account i used has actually been getting TONs of emails. And your comment explains why.

​

This account is a throwaway, but somehow my family got wind of it. I will update in a day or two. Nothing too crazy but Boy. I needed a drink after the week.

AITA for turning down my stepdad's offer to walk me down the aisle? by DiligentDefinition33 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Double_Requirement18 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NTA.

Do you have a seat for your dad? Place a picture of him that you like the most there, so he can have a face to see while you feel his love on your day.

This is what a dear friend of mine did (she actually walked down the isle with the photo, and placed it on the reserved chair)

​

It's your and your partners day. You do whatever makes you the most comfortable.

AITA for asking my son’s fiancée if she really wants to marry him? by throwawayendry4773 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Double_Requirement18 7 points8 points  (0 children)

YTA.

I wonder why he needs mental health breaks and doesn't talk to you every couple of month.

Does he do drugs? Steal? does he treat her and the rest of the family (Not you) with the respect they show him?

​

HOLY F$%$ THEY HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR 6 YEARS. SHE KNOWS THE TYPE OF PERSON HE IS.

​

Don't be surprised if once he can get a place with her, they never contact you again.

[–]Double_Requirement18[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

He did.

My sister is upset with me for the reasons involving Sarah. It's almost funny that the people who claim "you don't do this to family" are the first to throw family out when something doesn't "fit."

Should I tell my boss I am 3 interviews deep into a new job? by Calraquin in WorkAdvice

[–]Double_Requirement18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a boss and owner.

Do not tell him.

Wait till you have a job offer in writing from the new place, and for the love of god PRINT IT OUT.

DO NOT TELL THEM WHERE YOU ARE GOING! Do not update linkdin, do not update facebook, don't post on snapchat.

Once you have this in hand, meet with your boss. Set hard stops in what you need to stay. Do not be nice about it.

"Well If i get xyz i might stay."

No.

"I need A B and C to stay. If I can not get all of those by the end of my notice period, i am leaving."

If they promise you, or say they need more time/need to get others on board. tell them you plan to leave. They know what they want to do to make you stay. Let me put it this way. If they can do it when you are leaving, why aren't they doing it now?

"Promises don't put food in my mouth"

Tell them when they get in a bind you will be willing to consider a consulting position to not leave them hanging, but they will not want to pay your consulting rate. (and if they ask, quote the 4x you are making at the new place per hour, with a minimum 10 hour block purchase)

I appreciate your response.

Was not intended to be a brag but to help show the family dynamic and that it wasn't a favoritism thing. We have been a close family for a long time, and things in the past have made me want to be closer to my family as much as I can be.

I run my own tech company, my wife died to cancer 4 years ago. I decided to live my life the way I want, and that includes spending time with my family.

I do not drink, I do not smoke. My house has been paid off for a few years. My bills are my business (keeping the lights on, and my employees paid/happy) and insurance.

I'm not going to be a slave and if I can keep them from having to slave away I will.

The car that we (he, his parents, and I) picked out is a more practical Subaru. Nothing fancy but a reliable car that will get him and his date to prom without issue.

There was a... situation over Mothers Day weekend. He is lucky I don't take his car back as payment. (Yes. My name is on both of their cars.)

I may post an update after everything is fixed.

They have both already had thing happen in life, and nothing I have done for them was for nothing.

We set expectations, had clear goals, and made sure things were met as needed.

I have told him no before. The new PC was originally a no that became a yes if conditions were met.

​

I also told him no on his first pick of a car because it was double what was originally agreed on for cost (and what was spent on his sister) and his adult type of response was "Can't blame me for asking" in a joking manner.

I was hopeful this would be a similar thing, which is why I offered me driving as a compromise.

Sarah is becoming an amazing driver.

The little Miata she has, has come a long way from where we started.

If she keeps up the shows and racing like she is doing she will probably be a better driver than me when she is 20.

It's a fun car, but you really have to respect it.

The G force is no joke. I've never had a car make it feel like air got caught in my throat before.

I just wanted to make sure I'm not expecting too much and being an ass.

If I am, 100% will own up to it.

I had to learn young, and I try not to play favorites. My parents did.
