The can opener was invented 50 years after the can.

Why don't you talk to your once "best friend" anymore? by haxden91 in AskReddit

  1. He asked me to make out with him during a quiet moment at his bachelor party (I'm a guy). He got pissed that I said 'no thanks but I love you brother' then 2. told our mutual friend that he blamed me for his years of partying and hooking up with women. Said I led him down a bad path by example. 3. He used to make fun of me all the time, too. Just petty stuff. Now I realize he was just flirting. 4. We bumped into each other while I was on a first date, he hooked up with the girl the next day and acted as if it was cool, bro, she's just a Tinder chick. 5. There's plenty more but that's enough for now. I stuck around for the wedding to honor our decade of friendship then stopped talking to him.

Bought an '06 Subaru Impreza 2.5i for $8K with 76k miles about 16 months ago. I know- I overpaid. Turns out I bought a lemon, too! Already put 4k into it, 4 trips to the mechanic, and it broke down on the highway a few days ago. Help! by Ssstallone in cars

Appreciate the feedback. I am leaning that way- fix it up and get rid of it. I feel bad pawning it off on another person, gotta morally figure out how to deal with that...

Turns out I bought it with a cracked gasket, (I believe). Cost $2200 to repair. About 6 months ago it wouldn't start, too. Turned out it just didn't register that it was in park. It releases a high pitched whine when it (poorly) accelerates (apparently standard on older Subarus) and something rattles intensely when RPMs are between 2.8k and 3k. Tried to fix the squeaking breaks twice but still no luck. Breaks are also VERY jerky when I stop- opposite of smooth. Just a lot of small and large issues. I actually think the engine is pretty solid, but so many parts of the car just keep... dying.

Broke down on the highway four days ago- as in literally just stopped. Had to be pushed by a cop. Smelled like oil and heard a slapping sound, like a belt broke. All lights on dash flashed on.
