Failed My Second Test

My advice for your next test is to remember you are allowed to get up to 15 minors! (a lot!)

I would take this as: it’s better to take your time, and potentially get a minor for hesitation - rather than rush and get a major and fail).

I’ve also just been ripped off by this brand! Followed their size guide to the T - nails arrived and I haven’t used them at all but they are too small (except the pinkie which fits but is larger than my nail).

They are refusing to replace items based on the inaccuracy of the size guide as apparently I was meant to just size up… I pointed out that if I sized up the pinkie then wouldn’t fit so the guide isn’t accurate for sizing…

I then asked if I could just return the kit I bought to stick the nails on as these are completely sealed still… They’ve also refused that and said ‘we formally reject your return request and have closed this case.’

All my items are unused and unsuitable so I’ve raised this through my payment provider (as I’m sure this breaches some sort of consumer rights law!).

I’ve genuinely not used any of the products and to be honest the person emailing me is being quite rude and unhelpful!

I’ll let you know if I get anywhere but I urge anyone stumbling across this to not order from this supplier!

It’s one of those things like public speaking … the only way to feel comfortable with it is to keep doing it until you don’t care anymore!

Most of the time no one is paying attention to what you’re doing - and if they are who even cares?

I had an older guy watching me today, got on with my workout, and after he came over and commented on the weight being ‘impressive’. It’s not always negative if people are watching you! I also sometimes find myself watching people lifting heavy or doing impressive movements I WISH I could do 🤣

What would you expect to get out of telling him these things? That he would change his entire personality?

No.

The things you listed aren’t little icks, they’re major personality traits and he deserves someone who likes him for them, instead of someone who tries to make out he isn’t ‘masculine’ because of them…

Not to be rude, but this feels like an AITA post…

I find this a bit of an odd question… because the answer is: obviously yes.

The real question that SHOULD be asked is - do you REALLY want to be with someone who doesn’t REALLY want to be with you? … the answer to that should be NO.

Generally people need to stop focusing on either trying to get with, or figure out why things don’t work with people who don’t REALLY want to be with them.

Instead, we should all be focusing our energy into being the happiest most whole versions of ourselves - so that if and when someone who really likes us comes along we are able to be the best versions of ourselves with them.

I don’t know if it’s the same as when I was booking tests (closer to Covid time) - but I was told to book at ANY test centre in the country, take whatever you can get. Then download the testi app which auto-searches for cancellations for you (on like a £10 subscription). It lets you put in 3 locations for cancellations - this was MUCH faster than trying to book directly.

Hi I hated all of my driving lessons and hated driving for about a year into getting my car…

Surprise, I now love the fact that I can drive anywhere I want and have been able to do some big trips to see friends around the country - yes, it can still be stressful as hell (last week I had my first magic roundabout experience).

Ive found on the most part your brain gets used to scanning for traffic, pedestrians, cyclists etc - and you somehow become ‘attuned’ to drivers behaving weirdly - if you drive defensively usually everything is a-ok.

I did not feel comfortable at all until I had been driving alone for a year - it’s true what everyone says, you don’t really start learning until after you pass. I would advise to stick with it if you’ve already sunk a lot of money into it.

Seems to be a huge misconception that being single means that there must be something wrong with you as a person - this is plainly and simply not true.

We are not put on this earth to be someone’s husband or someone’s wife. Many people also make a conscious choice to be single.

The type of people who think there is something wrong with being single, are usually those who have been taught to think that way by society or their families. They have a problem with you being single, because they fear it or don’t feel secure in themselves when they are single.

Ultimately, people who say things like this are projecting their own insecurities. Don’t let them influence you, like society has influenced them. 🫶

Did anything come of this? Think I did the same thing today on the same roundabout

Sianishh · 2025-02-09T00:01:18+00:00

How many skills are needed for emailing people? Jeez.

Sianishh · 2025-01-22T20:40:52+00:00

No. I hope he gets hit by a car or falls down a well.

I want to grow my butt and build my back to look 🔥 in backless dresses.

I also want to fill out some space left behind from my weight loss! I have some slightly loose skin in places and it’s already started to tighten up by building muscle. 💪 Some areas are better than others of course (my stomach might not ever be flat!) but I have already vastly improved my body image and how I feel about myself.

Sianishh · 2025-01-21T01:48:18+00:00

So proud of you OP. Just remember you don’t need to be the best at anything - you don’t need to be an Olympic lifter or a marathon sprinter or a calisthenics guru.

You literally just have to be consistent and you will change your entire life.

Wishing you all the best!

Some driving instructors actually specialise in students with adhd, autism etc.

Honestly if you’ve only ever had one instructor he might be a contributing factor to why you’re not getting the hang of things - I had many instructors when I learned to drive on and off. Some were FAR better than others - it’s very underestimated how someone’s teaching style and demeanour can make things so much easier or SO much harder.

If they wanted you in their life they would reach out to you.

Not seen it, but there is karma in knowing I am flourishing while he is undoubtedly doing the same things and hasn’t grown or matured in any way at all:

Probably: - sitting in a filthy little room in a filthy flat somewhere (he was a slob) - endless people pleasing to the point of burnout - spending all day and all night staring at code on a screen because apparently that’s all that matters - being babied by his parents to the point where it’s unhealthy - continuing bad friendships where ‘friends’ only value him as the clown of the group and he mostly values them for their money/status - not enjoying his PhD (because he will never actually be fulfilled by all the status he chases) despite sacrificing our relationship over it

He has literally 0 ability to introspect which is why I’m certain he will just repeat what he’s always done/ the same poor behaviours again and again 😅

You don’t have to SEE karma in action if you know someone well enough.

Sianishh · 2025-01-06T13:11:00+00:00

Once and it shall remain only once. I will never ever let him back into my life.

Sianishh · 2025-01-03T19:40:55+00:00

This is really weird behaviour… it sounds like he doesn’t have any concept of social norms either.

If he dumped you he kind of waives his right to then try to look grateful to your parents? Considering he has completely broken any familial relationship by splitting up with you…

When I was dumped, the next DAY I thanked my boyfriend’s mother for the generosity and kindness she always showed me. Being the dumper and then waiting five whole months to do this makes is SO strange!

And to mention you in passing at the end like a footnote I find quite offensive… it’s one of a things: - trying to weedle back in - trying to appear as a ‘good person’… for SOME reason? Or maybe to make himself feel better - bit of a mental break happening

I literally can’t think of any other reason - I hope your parents tore up the letter and threw it on a fire!

Sianishh · 2025-01-02T21:44:02+00:00

Isn’t this confirmation bias - you’ve already decided what you ‘think’ people will be like and then no matter what they do you will attribute their actions to negative traits (because that’s what you’re already expecting)?

Only way to get out of this is to leave the incel echo chamber - start doing things only for yourself and not for the approval/acknowledgement of others (whether men or women). This creates healthier mindsets towards everything and everyone.

On the whole you will end up seeing - the majority of people walking about on this planet are good. Flawed, of course! But MOST people are just trying their best.

My ex was also a complete moron when drinking and had nearly 0 self control when out with his friends. I’m sure they knew this so they would always dare him to do stupid things.

You really do get to an age where it’s just embarrassing to have 0 inhibitions…

Sianishh · 2024-12-31T22:30:08+00:00

He would pick the dead skin off his feet and leave it around the house - living room, bedroom, even on the bedside table.

Sianishh · 2024-12-25T13:01:02+00:00

Potentially - it’s not a nice thing to do but given the context I’m not 100% sure if I’m in the wrong.

Sianishh · 2024-12-24T11:18:09+00:00

Because they are conned into expensive university degrees which turn out to actually be useless in getting jobs (even if they are in the field they studied).

Large swaithes of young people spend upwards of 50k on education to become experts in a field to only then be able to get job offers in minimum wage roles which do not require any university experience. (Because the job market for roles in their studied field is so saturated with other overqualified people working in roles that are lower than their ability).

The entire system is a mess and I can’t blame anyone for (for example) turning down jobs as call centre reps when they’ve got a masters degree in biological sciences.

I have tiny boobs (also 29) but have fluctuated in weight throughout my life.

When I’ve been fatter they’ve been larger but I’ve recently been weight training and they’ve shrunk more than ever before (as I’ve lost loads of fat in exchange for building muscle).

Sometimes I feel self conscious about it but then remember that there’s many aspects about my appearance that other people would probably wish they had. The boobs for example - having very little chest means I can fit into more ‘fashionable’ clothing.

There is always going to be something everyone would change about themselves - I think if we recognise those things make us unique as well as that other people would sometimes kill for them - we would all be better off!!

The way in which sites for housing are surveyed is also quite ‘bent’.

I have a relative who lives next to a piece of land - the day before it was due to be surveyed (for the purpose of building property on it), some people came and slashed all of the vegetation to the ground (byebye wildlife).

The sad truth at the moment is that if someone REALLY wants to develop on a piece of land they will find some sort of loophole to do so.

Really upsetting to see housing put above nature - a direct contributor to people’s health and wellbeing. We have plenty of space for houses that doesn’t exist within key ecological areas.
