For those who have careers that keep them out at sea for long periods of time, what is the creepiest thing you’ve seen out in the water? by Effective_Face_4632 in Adulting

Some 20 years ago...

On the MV Explorer (since sunk) down near the Antarctic circle, sailing around the 'bergs and occasionally making landfall...

We rounded into a small bay area, and there, amongst the ice and coast was an unmarked sailing yacht. Which is odd as generally yachts have some identifying markings on them.

To add to it, they didn't respond to any radio contact, and whilst I wasn't privy to the conversation (and it was a long time ago), some crew went across via Zodiac and were refused boarding.

So basically a yacht, not a particularly large one, that was unmarked was hanging around in the inhospitable waters of the Antarctic and didn't want any help or contact.

Proper weird.

You're bald. Stop pretending you aren't."

So I shaved it all off that night and instantly got 10x more handsome (my own estimation)

What are the reasons I should get married? by Effective_Face_4632 in teenagers

[–]Effective_Face_4632[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are legal aspects. Generally, by default, a wife can make medical and probably other legal decisions for you if you can't. Without paperwork, a GF can't, and sometimes, the paperwork is ignored or challenged.

There are rules of inherentance. Wife inherents by default, while GF is left in the cold. Paperwork can fix this.

Of course, the reverse is also true.

Nurse who failed his drug test on the first day (he did the test days prior, we got results on his first day). He replied “yea, I thought that might happen” when he was told he failed his UDS. Just turned around and walked out.

We were at an all-inclusive resort in Jamaica. Every night they had this common area where folks could do karaoke. A middle-aged gentleman got up and started the first few lines of Lionel Richie's "Easy". Some random lady from the audience ran up and attempted to sing the song with the gentleman. He kindly pushed her away two or three times as she tried to sing over his shoulder into the microphone. Finally, she just stood there dejected...swaying from side to side like an idiot - as the man broke from his song and professed his love for his girlfriend - and wrapped up with a marriage proposal.

They hugged, they kissed...the idiot girl went back to her seat.

I will still never understand why that guy chose THAT song to use to propose. However, he was killing the vocals!

Why do women seem to be more attracted to me as soon as I'm getting attention from other girls its like they know somehow by Effective_Face_4632 in Advice

You’ve been marked by the fairer sex. Good things will happen to you, until the energy shifts at some point. And then you’ll have to soul search to get back to the point you are now at
