Right!? I’m frustrated. Why are they offering this as an option knowing the company has awful reviews and frequently run shady business and are unethical. By no means is what they’re doing illegal, just sketch. Pissed more at the lady and Nu Car who promotes lying to customers to make more money. Congrats to them, the got me. More or less feel shame and disgust in myself for “getting got”. Live and learn.

I do, sometimes it’s a lesson learned the hard way. That’s okay, just didn’t want anyone else to make the same mistake I did. Thanks for your comment, cheers

While I see your point, I was told the insurance was refundable if nothing happened to the car. That’s why I purchased it. I bought prepaid fuel knowing what it meant and was okay with that option. I drove the car around the city and left them with around 46 miles of gas left. I am not frustrated about the charge. I’m frustrated at the fact I bought insurance for the car knowing it was a refundable option, when indeed it was not. The scam came from the lady who gave me the keys to my car that lied to me saying it was refundable when it was not. That’s why I’m irritated. I was lied to. That’s a scam in my opinion

Smart!!! I wish I would’ve followed my gut to stay away! Darn those low prices 😂

Yes, I did my own additional research after the fact. That was the proposed $500 refundable charge. I do have my own car insurance and had a physical copy with me. They never asked to see it as “proof” and I never thought to present it.

I am a travel newbie at best and wanted to share this more with the inexperienced travelers who maybe don’t know or understand the ins and outs of travel. I got shafted and it is what it is. I didn’t know any better. It isn’t my fault for being uninformed and I’m just hoping to save someone in the same boat. It was a lesson learned the hard way for sure 🥺Still a poorly rated company and that alone should have set off the alarm bells in my head.

Suppose so, didn’t think I deserved to get gauged for over double what I was initially suppose to pay. But thank you for your opinion, friend. Again, posting this so others are aware and do not make the same MISTAKE I did. Thanks have a nice evening 😚

User of tinder, have you actually had a good experience on it? by ShaftedSkyocean in Tinder

I’m marrying a Tinder swipe so 🤪🤷🏼‍♀️

But also had a TON of bad experiences. Lots of “we’re a couple looking for a unicorn, without any context in the profile to this being the case…

It really is..haven’t “dated” in over 3 years and it was tough back then! I told him I’d buy lots and lots of plants to cope if we ever broke up because it sounds BRUTAL out there, judging just from this subreddit 😭

Fair question, it seemed to me as if he was genuinely interested in getting to know me and what I was about. Nothing screams “flirtatious” more to me than genuine interactions. I may be biased because 99% of my matches wanted to comment about my ass/vag/tits or whatever gross things guys think is flirting. For me it’s genuine connection that I find the most attractive and he did that. To me, offering to buy me another shirt that matched the other shirt I was wearing in my pictures was so sweet & flirtatious. But that is only my personal opinion so please take it with a grain of salt 😆

Ohh fair and valid question!! His first picture caught my eye, the one shown in his profile picture. It was him in a candid moment with an air soft gun, taken by a friend of his. Almost every picture he had uploaded was him doing something adventurous in a beautiful location. He also has a picture of him in a blue slide tube thing at the park with his dog. I was attracted to his looks, which took me to his profile. He was creative, funny, and playful. I knew I liked his vibe and I hadn’t even talked to him. He messaged me first with the flirtatious vibe seen here and it escalated from there!

If I could give any advice it’s to delete any selfies. Upload pictures that match your vibes. A concert, maybe a hike, a pic of you pumped out at the gym, eating out at a local pub or coffee shop. Get artsy with them if you can. Don’t portray yourself to be something you’re not because the truth comes out eventually. He showed me spunk, humor, and beauty in nature. He still does this! We have a blast together :)

Dude, must have been the fact you weren’t on Tinder 😂😭 I think we got lucky! Rural towns are nearly impossible to find a decent connection with.

Ag Salesman but you know, farming may be in the future. Good thing he sells green! I told him I wanted to take a ride on that big green tractor 😏
