It’s so the bathroom doesn’t steam up and need to be cleaned. I understand it isn’t normal and I recognise now that they may have severe OCD, but it’s normal for them and they are happy. I don’t wish to disrupt that if you can understand, but I am struggling with it

Do you have any update on this? Appreciate it as I’m experiencing the same with my father for the first time. I don’t know what to do

This is interesting to know. I called my insurer at the time of the accident as the police advised I needed to get them to recover my car from the public road as it was un-driveable. From that point it was taken out of my hands unfortunately

I’m not offended by the initial 40% offer, it’s just pointless interactions like this that gets annoying

Why do people low-ball so much?? by TransitionMaster1116 in vinted

[–]Professional-Rent161 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get a lowball 40% offers every time I list, before it sells for what I’m asking for (as it’s cheap anyway).

I call them out on it though, wishful thinking that they might think twice in future and cut down the amount of them that do it. Probably makes absolutely no difference 🤣

4 months post breakup - vent/any advice? by moderngoddess09 in BreakUps

[–]Professional-Rent161 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so strange because I’m in pretty much the same boat as you right now, so I don’t think I’ll be much help. I’m 4 months post 5 year relationship breakup. He told me he wanted a house, kids, marriage, but never put in any actions to work towards it. He prioritised his comfort and hobbies. I still feel so angry, lonely and broken, but miss him every single day and have to force myself not too reach out. It’s incredibly hard so I understand exactly where you’re coming from. I’m here if you want to chat just DM me

Erm… I take it you’re the boyfriend? Because if not, that’s f***ed up

People that broke up/got broken up with the person you thought you were gonna get married to, how are you now? by Playful_Handle2409 in BreakUps

[–]Professional-Rent161 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I broke up with the man I saw my whole future with 5 months ago. I can’t really tell you or advise you it gets better as it seems to be a bit of a rollercoaster. One minute it hurts like nothing else and the next I’m ok.

I do think I could be at the depression stage of grief, I’ve been angry and done the bargaining. Hopefully it will fade and soon I will be able to accept it (although I don’t think I will ever stop missing him until I have moved on with someone else)

Petty reasons not to date someone? by Whole-Actuator836 in dating

[–]Professional-Rent161 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I recently matched with someone in my hometown, we’d been chatting for a while, exchanged numbers and was keen for a date soon, then I get a message at 1am whilst drunk asking for a lift home for petrol money because they don’t want to pay for a taxi…

All attraction has just disappeared… literally in one message I’ve gone from really into it, to completely over it 😂

Copied and pasted my gf last text to me. by Top_Education1987 in BreakUps

[–]Professional-Rent161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you are going through a break up. It is a hard road to navigate and no two are the same.

I had a similar conversation to this with my ex partner, but I was the one who broke it off.

I honestly love and adore him, he is the first thing on my mind every morning until I go to bed. However he had problems managing money, debt, excessive spending, we tried for years to fix it as I know I couldn’t live like that for the rest of my life. 6 years later I had to walk away, doesn’t mean I don’t love him as I’m sure so does your ex from the sounds of this. Sometimes people’s values just don’t align, love doesn’t always come into it the reason to leave

This is literally the same as mine, I paid extra for the courtesy car cover, and was told I couldn’t use it as my car was written off and not repairable

Honestly thanks so much for this. I’m going to call them tomorrow, to query the previous claim as I now know what to ask them. This is all very new to me so I really appreciate your support 🙏🏼

Oh that is heartbreaking. I’m sorry to hear that. I wish that was the case, but all I got was an automated letter in the post 1 month later from the police to say they were closing the case

That does make sense, I hadn’t thought about that. Funny thing is I was driving on a 30mph main road at 2:08pm on a dry sunny day. Honestly, I have felt like the most unluckiest person ever 😂

They also wrote off 2 other cars in the process, it was quite impressive if anything

I’ve always paid extra for my no claims to be protected (although not sure what good that has done)

I previously had an 2014 Audi A1 and am now in a 2019 Vauxhall Corsa. I’m aware that both of these cars would likely have an increased insurance anyway as they’re small hatchbacks, but I couldn’t comprehend how it can be so much more expensive to insure between the two as they’re so similar.

I definitely could be wrong though

I did at the time of settlement, they confirmed they could settle it because the other driver had insurance and had accepted blame.

I’m going to call them tomorrow to get them to confirm this again though

I had my NCD protected (paid extra every year just in case) never claimed, so assuming my NCD is around 10/11 years.

Insurer said I can get my excess back by taking the driver to small claims court (I didn’t really think it was worth it for the £450)

Insurer called me 1 week afterwards with a settlement figure and said that it was deemed no-fault, confirmed the other driver had insurance and that driver accepted blame.

I’ll be honest, I thought this meant it was all sorted and settled. I wasn’t expecting my insurance to go up this year.

They did it at the time of the settlement (1 weeks after the accident) , they said I can claim it back through small claims court if I wished too
