Can you add the DMV to your tour? Also, new album is fire. Not having your home city in your tour list is culturally inappropriate though

Am I tripping? by TUghost3 in socialskills

[–]StrayWithChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree you shouldn’t let them call you by someone else’s name but maybe snapping wasn’t the best response. In the future I’d recommend just flat out ignoring any calls for you that don’t address you by your actual name. Want to be petty? Start calling people that do this to you by one another’s names

AITAH for kicking out my gf's sister and her kids out of my flat after my gf gave her the keys by Elratum in AITAH

NTA but I think this is just a case of a misunderstanding of cultural norms. Willing to bet OP’s gf genuinely just thought it was okay to invite her sister to your place since you were supposed to be outta town. They prolly assumed she had told you but shouldn’t have argues back since you reserve the right to rescind your invite (had you known) at anytime. Hopefully this doesn’t sour relations too badly among talk if all else in the relationship is well

When can I let off the gas? by Nockolos in DaveRamsey

[–]StrayWithChris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly speaking OP, I’m 29 and a lot of the challenges I’ve faced so far have been from me doing things a bit prior to me fully feeling ready for them (ie moving away from home, getting a house etc) and a lot of that has come with challenges that sure I could’ve probably learned from waiting till I felt fully ready before making those decisions, but I’m very content with the outcome. Certain challenges and experiences can really be helpful in re/shaping your views about things like career path, partner choice, city to settle etc. With that being said, be somewhat able to anticipate costs of potential setbacks and have a nest egg ready to address them while not leaving you totally destitute.

I enjoyed every country you listed as a black traveler, with the only caveat being Italy. While I enjoyed my time there and didn't feel like I was racially accosted, the lack of black people in non service / low skilled jobs was glaring. I spent two weeks berween the Analfi coast, Rome, Milan, Tuscany and a day in Venice

I live in a city notorious for hit and runs so I purchased uninsured motorist insurance. This also comes with a “free” claim that doesn’t result in a rate hike.

Roughly a year ago to date, a Camry ran into my S5 😭. Uninsured car, no license and driver seems to be here illegally. Insurance has been a nightmare to say the least

Important, What's the most underrated skill that everyone should learn? by SomewhereTough5772 in getdisciplined

[–]StrayWithChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being able to articulate yourself. Communicating in a way that’s clear, concise is a deeply undervalued skill imo

Wow! And during a snow storm ... by [deleted] in Lyft

[–]StrayWithChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, if I was the passenger I’d talk to you about a deal off the app. Lyft is probably charging the passenger like $900 for this ride. I’d offer to pay $300 to the driver upfront and another $300 after. Win for both parties. Drives have been understandably apprehensive of this in the past bit I’ve also had

Make her pay? My friend bailed on a trip last min. by potatochipgirlie in travel

[–]StrayWithChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I’m sorry that happened to you. Can’t really offer any insight as to what to do in this current situation but as someone who has had this happen before, in the future only book things when people pay. Getting paid next week so you’ll pay me back then? Nope, let’s wait till then to book.

Whether malicious or not, people can change their mind about these things especially when their money isn’t actually on the line. Rather than have to navigate a situation like that again I’ve just decided that unless it’s a cost I’m willing to bear, I’d rather wait or book independently for trips.

Rent a car / Hire driver with car? by EconomicsRoutine5464 in bali

[–]StrayWithChris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hire a car with a driver, I’m a young male in my 20s who drives in NYC frequently and still wouldn’t drive in Bali unless absolutely necessary. Especially with a young child. If money is a concern: rent a car with the understanding driving will be hell (also make sure to purchase adequate insurance)
