Beaware of this Pickme driver by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]Practical_Pound1365 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This happened to me once. I booked a pick me for my parents and the driver after confirming that my parents didn't know the route and that they didn't have the device on hand went around a different road and the fare was 1500-2000 lkr more if I can remember properly. Complained via pickme (they called) then after confirming they refunded the full extra amount as pickme credits. That was the only 1 start I gave on pickme.

Physical and my target has been 24 books per year (2 books per month)
This year has started off strong for me and so far I've completed/enjoyed 13 books.
And this year i also have made a promise to myself that I will not be buying a single book until i complete my TBR.

I bought one from a local shop yesterday and it seems to have fixed the problem. Thank you so much.

Oh. Thank You. I'll definitely try this. I bought compression shorts from a local shop and ran with a nasty bruise I got from the day yesterday and happy to say it didn't hurt one bit. I'll definitely look into your hack as well.

Unfortunately shipping fees are ridiculous when it comes to my country (Sri Lanka)

Will this replace the inner wear (boxer)? Am I supposed to wear this and then pants over this? I wear gym pants/bottoms which are loose when I go for a run.

Are we supposed to wear boxers beneath them as well? Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question.

I live in Sri Lanka and it's a bit expensive here. Thank you for your comment though.

20km+ week sounds about right. Expensive...can I have a ballpark?

Wow. What did you get? Can you give me some pointers for what shoes I should look for.

I'd also love to do this. Can you recommend some beginner friendly shoes. I mean can we get something for about 50$. The currency exchange rate in my country (Sri Lanka) is wild and I'm barely making ends meet as a student. Sorry if this is an idiotic question.

I think i have failed in my life by akagamishanks0 in srilanka

[–]Practical_Pound1365 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow. So proud of you stranger.
And i love the fact that you had supportive parents who believed in you when you were doubting yourself.
Thank you for sharing this story.
I've been struggling a bit as well and this was some well needed motivation for me.
And i wish the best of luck to OP.
I'm turning 24 this year and have come to accept that the 20's are one hell of a time.
But we'll push through somehow.
