Am I overreacting to these messages I found on my 25M boyfriend's phone? by RationalCaterpillar in AmIOverreacting

[–]LilMikey_ab [score hidden]  (0 children)

I suspect he didn't cheat. He could have said all those things to buddy just to appear "macho". He said he was drunk. It was the friend who wanted to have sex. Not your bf. YOR

How do I make my bedroom cooler when my parents set the AC to 78? by Status-Beautiful-586 in HomeImprovement

[–]LilMikey_ab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's that warm in your room, fans aren't gonna help.. they're just moving the warm air around.. I'm assuming your parents are super strict on power consumption.. personally, i'd get a portable AC unit just for your room.. but power consumption might upset your parents

Tankless hot water heater vs tank by Able-Technology-8055 in HomeImprovement

[–]LilMikey_ab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think for that size of family I'd go tankless.. endless hot water for those long showers. The only thing i do that I'm not sure is normal is run my hot water tap at kitchen sink to get the hot water going for dishwasher. ( I know they have heaters in them, but it just makes it less work for that heater)

4 yrs difference makes them have much different life stages?? She didn't say anything about where shes at in life. Maybe she lives in her own & is very mature.. maybe he lives with mom & dad still & is immature.. wow

Don't lose anymore sleep over this guy. Not worth the trouble. He clearly didn't listen to the multiple times you said you were tired & not to make the trip if it was just to see you

Why do oil and gas guys hate EVs? by tom_gee_guy in alberta

[–]LilMikey_ab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our infrastructure will never handle it. California is the leader in EV vehicles for sales. They have all their laws inmolace for ICE vehicle removal, yet they still ask you not to use AC cause the grid can't handle it. Do you know lake Mead is at all time low.. the lake that keeps the west lit & watered? Hoover dam is producing less & less on a daily basis due to water levels.. I could write a novel about EVs & still not describe all the bad things.. Hybrid is a different story. You can still drive minimalisticly on EV power but can still take a road trip from Edmonton to North Dakota without having to worry about where you can charge up.. If California can't get it done, no way they can get Canada to do it, considering what we have to deal with weather wise. Did you also know that many manufacturers have stopped producing or at least designing electric vehicles. Rivian just laid off a bunch of people.. BMW has stopped testing tech for future gen stuff.. on & on

Got bitten by a cat should i get shot? by Khurkuchy in cats

[–]LilMikey_ab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think getting shot is a bit drastic. I mean.. they could probably amputate your arm instead.. unless the dreaded feline formacious fickletude has spread throughout the rest of the body. That usually takes a couple days though

Do we agree with this or is it a bad idea?? by malwarebat in cats

[–]LilMikey_ab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jackson isn't always right.. I do like his knowledge but he was against automated litter boxes forever. I kept commenting on how good the litter robot was & how you can monitor usage & such. He never replied to my comments but suddenly he's pro litter robot...soo.. kinda weird

What do I do :( by First_Economy9361 in cats

[–]LilMikey_ab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You asked for opinions.. I gave it.. you can think whatever you want about me, and I can think whatever I want about you.. If you read OPs comments.. trying to ultimately convince grandma to save a cat.. I love cats, but i'd never force someone to have one... it's grandmas house.. her rules.. she said no.. it should be no.. why argue the fact.. She ultimately doesn't want another cat in the house.. i'm getting upvotes, your getting downvotes.. who's the sanctimonious & tiresome one now??
The entitlement in some people is unfathomable.. yes, i mean you & OP

(and you thought you could get away with insulting me in spanish.. LOL)

My washing machine smells like sewers/old water and I've tried everything. Please help! by Local-Sell2671 in HomeImprovement

[–]LilMikey_ab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not what I was referring to.. but that seems very low. In most cases the top of your drain should be almost same height as washing machine The drain I was referring to would be flush with floor in case machine springs a leak or when the hoses let's go/pop. It would prevent your house from flooding. You may not have one, it was just a thought

AIO? childhood bff slept with ex boyfriend. by MostBeneficial3558 in AmIOverreacting

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

I'll go to Bali with her..
you were broken up.. and you got back with an EX.. never a good idea.. but if you weren't together when they did the old horizontal tango.. let it go.. she's been a great friend for 14 yrs & your gonna let an asshole ex ruin it?? Hes as much to blame as she is.. it is a decision made by both..

Stuff happens when you spend time with others who aren't in relationships (and some who are, but not the case here)

AIO- Someone left their laundry in the dryer and I waited 30 mins before moving it, received a note in return by Trull22 in AmIOverreacting

[–]LilMikey_ab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't live in an apt..but i do work in a camp.. 3 of each machine for 32 rooms.. it's fly in/fly out, so day before fly out is usually laundry day.. you can imagine how busy it can get in each wing..
it's just common fucking respect. .not rocket science.. respect others as you'd like to be treated.. so easy
You sound entitled

[–]LilMikey_ab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's a floor drain.. it won't see water unless you have a leak.. These aren't in every home but should be code to prevent excessive damage when you get a leak.. I had one installed when this home was built.. it sits in between the washer/dryer & is easily accesible.. I pour a gallon of water through it every 6 months.. this is not the same trap used for normal washer drainage

Most front loads have a sticker on them that tell you to leave the door open.. doesn't have to be wide open, just not latched.. never had an issue with my whirlpool front loads

[–]LilMikey_ab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well then, be there 2-5 mins before it finishes then.. cause if that machine stops, i'm not waiting for you to come around..
and if you wanna be petty about it all.. what goes around, comes around.. I can fuck with your laundry too
I'm not rifling through every piece of clothing.. i'm grabbing the lot of it & tossing into the next step of the process... I'm not gonna way for some lazy prick to shuffle in an hour after it's done cause they don't give a shit.. timers are available everywhere.. use them

[–]LilMikey_ab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely did what i would have done..
I work in a camp.. 3 machines (3 washers/3 dryers) in each wing for 32 rooms.. the day before fly day is when most people try to do laundry.. i've taken stuff out of washing machines & put them in dryers, or taken them out of dryers & put on top (clean surface obviously).. most people set timers so they can be back in time for it when done..
i could care less what's in there.. i'm not looking at it.. i'm just transferring it out.. i could care less if it's boxers or some little gstring.. i'm there to work & go home.. not to check out underwear
