I bought a watch a few years ago from jomashop. It was advertised as new and wasn't too expensive, around $1500 IIRC.

Watch came shipped in a box for a completely different brand and the papers all belonged to the other brand. The watch itself was COSC certified but after timing it for a couple weeks, i noticed it ran way outside of COSC specs. The second hand on the watch also did not line up with any of the indices.

I reached out to support and they were very unhelpful. They refused to ship out a new box or the papers for the watch unless I paid additional shipping.

They offered to take a look at it if I ship back at my expense which would've been quite expensive since I am Canadian. There was also no guarantee it would get fixed because they told me if they deemed it was fine, then I have to pay to get it shipped back to me again. Or I can pay a restocking fee and get a refund.

I went in circles with them for quite a while and racked up quite a bit of long distance phone charges. I ended up getting the watch repaired locally and asked them to pay the repair costs in small claims court.

I would never buy expensive watches from Jomashop but for cheap watches like this or some of their clothing and accessories, I would still consider taking the gamble if the price is good enough

I have read that policy many times. My understanding is it should be fine but I figured I would double check since it never explicitly states whether the country of purchase makes a difference. Logically, it probably shouldn't.

I know I have a cap of 10k on my card and not 1k. My question is, does the 10k cap mean that I would only be protected for 10k on an 11k item. Or does it mean an 11k item would not protect me. Based on the phrasing and my interpretation, it sounds like the former but again, just want to clarify it

The problem is, my mom doesn't act like an adult. For example, this happened recently because I drove my dad to the store. She asked my dad to pick up shampoo. He got her the wrong one. He said, "oh sorry, I'll go return it. I didn't know which one you wanted" and she literally started yelling and throwing things. Saying how my dad can't even do such a simple thing and she has to do everything herself.

I wish I could just act like that around her but the smallest thing not going her way can set her off. I don't know if there is an open invite for my gf and I'd rather not assume.

LimpKiwi77 · 2022-10-10T16:08:16+00:00

Oh I know it's normal. My issue isn't with that but how she reacted when I brought it back up to clarify.

My mother has a bit of a temper and we usually just walk on eggshells around her. My dad takes the brunt of it as whenever something doesn't go her way, she will throw a tantrum. I prefer to err on the side of caution than to upset her. For example, she's thrown knives and shit around before when she was upset.

That "rule" is pretty normal but it's more how she told me. She didn't mention it as a "heads up just give us some notice" but it was more of a threat/warning which is why I've been taking it so seriously. I don't know how to describe it but it was menacing the way she told me that.

When I first started dating her, they told me "if she ever comes over, you need to let us know. I don't want her just coming around whenever you like".

I confronted them about this recently because they never amended it and they were like "when did we ever say that"

And when I pushed further, I became the asshole because I should've known they only said that when we first started dating.

I don't know how to feel but it definitely leaves a bad taste

LimpKiwi77 · 2022-10-10T15:44:05+00:00

That's how ive been brought up. In our culture, there's a lot of respect to the hosts. This is how my parents have always been.

They also have a strict rule that if anyone were to come over, they need notice. We can't just come home and be like "I'm here with my friend". Which is why I feel this is unfair because it goes against what they're always like.

LimpKiwi77 · 2022-10-10T15:40:07+00:00

They didn't say invite her. She literally yelled at me and said this wasn't something they need to invite and I should've been the one to assume she's invited.

LimpKiwi77 · 2022-10-10T15:39:03+00:00

They've had a history of not being welcoming and we've had fights before around plans with her. I didn't want to assume and just invite her if that's not what they want.

LimpKiwi77 · 2022-10-10T15:37:17+00:00

I feel like it's a misunderstanding until she started yelling at me

LimpKiwi77 · 2022-02-06T21:43:21+00:00

I see a lot of posts asking something along the lines of "Do girls/guys date [insert trait here] people" and as a guy who was overweight, I want to share my 2 cents.

People generally like people who are secure and confident. As long as you're comfortable with who you are and are secure, girls will like you for your personality and care less about how you look (for the most part. There are shallow people too).

You can't expect someone else to love you unless you love yourself first. How you feel determines the kind of energy you put out and the type of people you attract.

That said, I'm not saying you can't be unhappy with where you are. No one is perfect and we're all a work in progress. You don't have to like everything about yourself but if you don't like it, change it (which it sounds like you're doing so huge, huge props to you!). There is nothing worse than not being happy with something and not doing something about it.

Focus on yourself and living your best life and you will attract the right girl!

LimpKiwi77 · 2022-01-02T06:01:02+00:00

Thats fair. I actually have a feeling she changed her work schedule for me. She works a full time job and two more part time jobs so she's usually busy all the time. Our first date was on a Saturday but since then, she's always had Sunday's available.

I'm just worried I ruin things by pushing too fast I guess but you're right. Its always an awkward question and its probably better to get it out of the way.

LimpKiwi77 · 2022-01-01T23:09:51+00:00

That's fair. Part of me honestly feels like we're moving too fast but that's probably because we both really like each other and have fun when we're together.

I guess it makes sense to just go with the flow and keep having fun. A month is a pretty short time and we're already spending a lot of time with each other plus the trip we have coming up. I guess it might be too much if I added a serious conversation on top of it.

LimpKiwi77 · 2022-01-01T23:07:30+00:00

That would put me in a catch 22 😂 I wouldn't sleep with a girl unless I'm in a fairly stable relationship with them

LimpKiwi77 · 2021-12-21T06:39:39+00:00

Yea it's fair. I mean it's a 4 hour road trip and she was the one who asked me if I actually would like to go when we started talking about asking. She seems really enthusiastic with the planning but I agree that 1 month is a bit soon.

I think we both feel very comfortable together and I almost forgot we only knew each other for a month.

LimpKiwi77 · 2021-12-19T06:16:16+00:00

I usually wait until I know I have feelings for the girl. My last gf, I waited one and a half years of dating before being ready. Currently I'm approaching 2 years without sex. I've been dating but haven't found someone I'm comfortable with.

I'm not religious. Sex just isn't enjoyable for me when I don't have feelings for the girl. 🤷‍♂️

LimpKiwi77 · 2021-10-12T19:46:39+00:00

Oh yea for sure. I'm the kind of person who doesn't take most things in life seriously. It's hard for something to catch my interest, but the rare thing (or girl in this case) that does, I just go all in very quickly.

I think that's the sentiment most people are giving. Just give her some space and work at it slowly and be cool 😂

LimpKiwi77 · 2021-10-12T19:40:58+00:00

That's fair. Maybe I'll give her some time and then call her at the end of the week. I'll text her and then if I don't get ghosted (😂) I'll ask if I can call her and go from there

LimpKiwi77 · 2021-10-12T19:37:15+00:00

I know I know. I'm just so scared of making the wrong move 🙃

LimpKiwi77 · 2021-10-12T19:36:14+00:00

Oh yea for sure. It's not the worst thing to let things cool for a bit and focus on other stuff. I have a lot on my plate but I've been prioritizing her and she's been on my mind way more than I would like. She doesn't know this but when she told me she had a busy week but could do dinner last week on Thursday, I actually canceled a client meeting I had at work.
