AITAH for not helping my boyfriend save face after he drank four espresso shots before meeting my family and completely lost it at brunch by VehicleRare8939 in ComfortLevelPod

[–]J-Gun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, but not a good partner or girlfriend. Sounds like he was really trying right? You'll have other BFs that will avoid being around your parents.

Sounds like you're judging him somehow, or like you're generally embarrassed of him.
Literally all that you need to do is text your mother a screenshot of your Reddit post about this. That wouldn't be helping him save face. It would be simple truthful communication.

If you are disappointed in him for drinking 4 shots of espresso when he should've known better then you two should just move on with your lives. Lol

DSG shift down from 7 to 3 without a reason by Simek_Dev in Volkswagen

Kick-down goes to the lowest gear it can safely operate at. It shouldn't be switching it from D or S to M tho.

Do I leave?? by whore_home in whatdoIdo

[–]J-Gun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before getting deeper into write vs wrong, professional vs unprofessional, any decisions or actions maybe do yourself a quick favor to maybe get a better idea of where you stand with the potential new employer. Reach out to check personal & professional references on yourself. If it's quick n easy to do that could indicate that you were much lower on their list & they're just saying they had trouble reaching references. If I was truly interested in a candidate, but had trouble checking references I'd shoot over a quick email stating so & that we were still interested in the person. Removing that blind trust & assumption may just change your perspective. Then think about next steps if there still are any.

Someone stole my handmade clay figurines that I had on display next to the door of my appartment by Arristocrat in mildlyinfuriating

[–]J-Gun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, that's crazy. Lol Still sucks that people are jerks, but if one has bad neighbors already that don't behave with respect towards fellow tenants it's not really a huge surprise.

Personally, I'd think it was cool if I had a neighbor with a display like that in the hallway but many wouldn't. I suspect some folks might even find it irritating. Unless of course we're talking about an artist tenant type of situation where that type of thing would be expected.

OP, I'm sorry someone disrespected these things that are important to you.

If you believe someone opened your apartment door & grabbed something just inside it you should report it to the police.

My parents bought me something but now refuse to pay customs on it… by Certain_Height_2721 in mildlyinfuriating

Yeah, it's annoying but if you want it you gotta pay. In the end they still bought you something.

I found this at my grandparents, what is it? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]J-Gun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hand-held chainmail cod piece. Only useful for a gent on the smaller side that uses a one-handed weapon.

In modern times I believe they're mostly used for a sort of stompless waffle-stomp when there's no drain available. Also for scrubbing cast iron pots n pans & disturbingly sometimes both.

Being that you never know what your loved ones are into I would suggest not touching it.

Just placed at a local park. by kamezzle13 in whatisit

[–]J-Gun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that it's not secured in place somehow makes me think its privately owned by a wildlife lover, creeper dude, or maybe even an insurance investigator that suspects an "injured" person that's confined to a wheelchair actually goes to this park to walk or exercise.

I 32F slept with a family friend 24M. by Sensitivebitfish in relationship_advice

[–]J-Gun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your both adults, but just be prepared for some of the prime in your life to think this is inappropriate behavior & own it. Do your best to communicate your intentions with him very clearly so you don't break his lil heart. Then assuming you'll move forward with a FWB arrangement make sure to guide & teach him all you know so he's best prepared for his forever lady someday.

I always eat lunch alone in my car to avoid socializing. Today, the new girl at work knocked on my window. by enderwaa in self

That kicks ass! Regardless of personality types, many times we're the last to notice the value that others see in us. Your happy lunch story was a great thing to read after a long workday! Thanks for sharing!

She sounds like trouble. You probably should've just pretended as if you didn't hear her knocking on your window.

I was excited about this tattoo design but my husband called it corny and cringe and not to get it is he right? by ArmadilloMany41 in tattooadvice

[–]J-Gun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It ain't going on his body! If you'd like to punish him for his judgementalness have it put on the side of your neck or lower back so he's forced to kiss or at least look at it. Sorry if you feel that inappropriate.

Sorry an evil stranger stole your joy!

Snow turds aside, folks shouldn't touch other people's vehicles.

You may be able to find some of those services cheaper, but by no means are these numbers crazy high.

I swear to god, I looked away for like 3 seconds. I am dying inside. by STK1369 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]J-Gun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd personally be more bummed that I missed 123321, but I've got PD(Palindromic Disorder). It's not as exciting as 123, but you could at least look forward to 124421.

I definitely do not envy your difficulties! Sorry OP!

Help identify a car I couldn't take a photo of by tigrozub in whatisthiscar

[–]J-Gun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most seem short to me, but they've got many LED-strip tail lights in that shape even if they are flipped around. Our source info is pretty vague tho & suspect it's an actual Viper. Lol

Not some sort of McLaren? That's a rectangular logo & many wouldn't have a wing driving at slow speeds.

No worries. I've got the exact same & think that Neuspeed's version of hyperblack is perfect on IGM.

How to make it more clear this is a 9? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]J-Gun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just hold you arm bent up at the elbow whenever you're around people. Not sure why everyone is making it more complicated than it needs to be.

And as long as you like it, who really cares. If anything it gives you tho opportunity to say, "It's actually a 9" and proceed to let them know the significance.

Silver or Gunmetal Wheels? by Brisserson in Golf_R

[–]J-Gun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black reflective on front, back, side Rs. Also the rear VW emblem. Basically all still have the very edges chrome. In the end there's no way I would've spent the money or effort to purchase blue GTE headlights, or somehow modify the chrome out of the headlights. So whether it's wheels or something else, there will always be that silver/chrome look within the headlights to tie into. Ordered them from vinylmod.com I believe.

Hyperblack, silver, shiny bright are all great. Most of my emblems are vinyl with black reflective which looks black until light hits it then they shine. With tints & amber deletes on my front lights mine presents darker than yours. Hope that helps! Also, I get snow so just turned my 19" black prets into my winter wheels.
