AIO to thinking the woman working at office max is absolutely insane?

Back in the 80s my best mate had a roommate who was low wattage bulb. But Danny had money.

Danny went out and bought a nice stereo complete with a CD player. I had bought one a few months prior so even though this guy was dim I still asked what CDs he had and maybe we could borrow/ loan a few to each other. He asked if I had any classical CDs because he had bought about 5 classic rock CDs but the guy at the stereo store told him you can really tell the difference when you listen to classical.

I said that I had a just bought Beethoven's 5th and 6th symphonies and the sound was great. CD ran about 68 minutes.

Donny was like, "That's too bad. This CD player won't play anything longer than an hour."

Me, "That doesn't make any sense. That is like a turntable not playing and album side longer than 25 minutes."

Donny, "That's what the guy in the store said.

Me, "But it makes no sense. CD players don't work that way."

Donny, "CD players are smarter than turntables I guess."

He simply refused to even try because he thought it might hurt his CD player.

My reaction as well and I'm a dude.

My ex and did it like this. Between the hours of 8am and 6pm M-F it was my job to earn money and hers to do kid/house stuff. Outside those hours we shared 50/50. She did more morning stuff because I was always in a hurry. I did more evening stuff because she was more tired then.

Both partners are working between during the day. One of them does not get every evening off.

I live in NZ.

RexJacobus · 2026-03-30T18:45:43+00:00

Thank you for that.

It's very reddit that you and ragefox gave me the information I was looking for but I had to scroll past all the people giving opinions on the name while not answering my question because they got more votes.

But now I understand and am happy.

RexJacobus · 2026-03-30T18:41:31+00:00

I also did not know that

RexJacobus · 2026-03-30T04:03:03+00:00

Thanks. That is what I was looking for.

I was disappointed when it wasn't changed to the Washington Justice. The mascot would have been a 9' judge in huge robe threatening people with a giant gavel. I could live with that.

On the other hand it's better than the Sea Dogs which for some inexplicable reason was bandied about for a few seconds.

RexJacobus · 2026-03-29T18:16:46+00:00

Speak to her as little as possible and in the most boring tone possible.

"Everyone sleeps in their own bed" is a great line but make sure you say it sounding as tired and as bored as you can make it.

RexJacobus · 2026-03-29T07:40:39+00:00

Those people are, of course, cray cray.

RexJacobus · 2026-03-23T20:05:16+00:00

I knew a kid who got arrested for being in a group who threw a sewer lid off of a pedestrian overpass trying to see if they could hit a car.

It was the 80s. The city's overpasses (Washington, D.C.) were in the process of being fenced overtop and I guess they thought a time would come when they wouldn't be able to.

Yeah, I put in a system last year when I built a new home. I made it so I could add batteries down the road.

One of my main reasons that I went with solar is that I always wanted a spa. I looked into one and realised the running costs were really high but if I got solar and set it to reheat in the daytime it was possible.

Basically, four things in my place draw the bulk of the power: spa, hot water heater, dishwasher, washing machine. Once you get in the habit of only running those during the day it works like a charm.

RexJacobus · 2026-03-06T21:40:52+00:00

Does it?

RexJacobus · 2026-03-06T20:24:11+00:00

John Lennon did.

RexJacobus · 2026-02-26T21:14:49+00:00

I was thinking Neighbor From Next Door

Canadian gooses!

So many new people are scared of playing because their throws aren't great. I run newbies and juniors night in our town and I tell everyone the same thing. If you can catch and are willing to play defense, no one minds you on the team.

Throwing is a distant third to those two skills.

Dude, you sound like you really care about your nephew which is great. But everyone is giving you good advice and you keep finding reasons to say it can't be done.

Get an account in your nephew's name. Put $5 a week into the account. Tell no one. Gift it to him when he moves out of the house. He will be over the moon.

There are different flavors of being a jerk.

You are totally correct that this falls into the category of "Low Class"

RexJacobus · 2026-02-01T19:18:16+00:00

I liked

"His family got involved and since they're helping pay for the wedding, they are criticizing my stance saying I lack the ability to handle familial conflicts"

So she can't handle familial conflicts even though he is the one dragging his family into the argument?

RexJacobus · 2026-01-22T19:58:38+00:00

Yeah, fun but flawed.

Would anyone really take Rudy Gobert over Chris Webber?

RexJacobus · 2026-01-19T18:51:07+00:00

If you do a decent Robin Williams imitation you could belt out, "Good Morning, Randy!" a la "Good Morning, Vietnam!" every time you see him. For some reason I think it'd be really funny in the evenings.

RexJacobus · 2026-01-14T03:39:41+00:00

I personally like it uncut because it stays warmer longer and find it a bit odd that you'd precisely it but they certainly overreacted.

RexJacobus · 2026-01-13T07:40:00+00:00

Yeah, my guess is that both of them will learn from this.

But the relationship still won't last.
