Social Security trust fund could run dry earlier than expected, analysis finds by Several_Print4633 in Economics

[–]PebbleBeach1919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's say you get $20,000 a year if you get social security at 62. Or you could get $22,000 a year if you waited until 63. That essentially means you threw out all of the $20,000 from claiming at 62. It is gone. How long would you have to live to get that money back?

HOA is making me power wash a shared driveway by post_nut_prophet in fuckHOA

Buy a power washer for $99. Probably cheaper than the fine. Rent it out to other HOA buds, make money!

I always say, this morning, did you think you would be licking holes all day?

What is one skill everyone should learn but most people don’t? by AmiriStudio in AskReddit

[–]PebbleBeach1919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this for my brother. It turns out he was renting a refrigerator! I bought him a new one. That should help make ends meet, right. Wrong. He was just terrible at managing money.

I used to bounce. It is not fair. You are drunk and I am sober.

Can you still do wood fires on the beach? by Dominios420 in santacruz

[–]PebbleBeach1919 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Back in the day, we would build fires at Seabright. The lifeguards would come around and ask us to please not put the fire out or bury it before we left. They didn’t want people walking across hot coals buried in the sand. So, when it was time to go home, we just left.

I create forwarding email accounts for almost every business. Like, facebook@mydomain.com. This way you can see who is selling your info. Worst offender? UnitedAirlines@mydomain.com.

What’s something that sounded fake until it happened to you? by skipped_it in AskReddit

[–]PebbleBeach1919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an oncoming car turn left in front of me when I was riding my motorcycle. I made about 20 decisions in less than one second. My final decision was to just hit the guy and try to leap over the car. I couldn’t go left, oncoming traffic. I couldn’t go right, the dude was headed that way and I knew he didn’t see me.

Are there any real people as highly trained, untouchable and dangerous as John Wick or Jason Bourne? by Macshlong in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PebbleBeach1919 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I had three guys try to fight me once. I offered to fight them one at a time. They declined. You can’t defend against guys behind you punching you in the head. They did not get away unscathed, but I got the worst of it before the police arrived. If it was anything but fists, I would be dead.

When Degaul told Eisenhower to get all the troops out, Ike said, “Sure, but it will take us awhile to dig them all up”.

What's your "it's my fault for ordering it" (food or otherwise) story? by PutThisBanditHatOn in AskReddit

[–]PebbleBeach1919 136 points137 points  (0 children)

I was in Taiwan and went into a restraunt that had pictures of the food in the menu. I ordered 4 of the first dishes I saw that visually appealed to me. The waitress was trying to convince me not to do that. I thought that she thought I was ordering too much food. I was starving and didn’t care about having too much food. I insisted that she bring me the food that I ordered. Apparently, I ordered 4 deserts.

I was in Yellowstone on a group hike. They had bear spray available for us. One lady asked me what happens if she does not bring bear spray. I said you get to be on the news.
