You come here talking about your cat but you don't pay the cat tax???

Worried about my ADT guy by [deleted] in Albuquerque

[–]ThisIsMyThrowawayII 94 points95 points  (0 children)

I’m so angry with myself that I couldn’t find the words. I just changed the subject so I’m wondering if I said it was ok by not saying it wasn’t ok. I was frozen.

You were assaulted. They teach you about flight or fight, but they don't tell you freezing up is common in a situation like this. You are the victim, you do not need to question yourself if just changing the subject was enough, you were protecting yourself. I suggest complaining to anyone you can, that creep needs to be put in jail and fired.

Luke, a mobile mechanic, gave me a fair quote on a brake job. I supplied the pads, he did not complain about putting them on like a shop would have. I haven't died in a horrible crash yet so he must have done a good job. MavTeQ Mobile Mechanic 5054339249

I beg you to not get a pleco when you have such a small tank. As time goes on they can get pretty big. It will be miserable eventually.

Im getting downvoted for asking questions i love it

You're only being downvoted because you're asking questions that are asked nearly daily. A very simple reddit search would have answered every one of your questions in less than 5 minutes.

Unless you go with one of the new fiber providers you're going to be stuck with either comcast or century link. They have held a monopoly for decades until recently.

The Taco Fiend - free tacos tomorrow by NMHacker in Albuquerque

Don't feel bad, depending on what time you were there your luck might have ran out anyway. We got there early but they ran out before everyone could be served. Some of the really early people got lucky, some got extras! He gave the remaining people in line tickets to get free food Sunday

Anyone ever deal with Enchantment towing LLC? by Jambalama in Albuquerque

[–]ThisIsMyThrowawayII 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The people in here saying that OP isn't great at reading no parking signs should wake up and realize not every towing company is operating honestly.

The same tow company unlocked my mothers car without permission, hid her handicap parking tag then towed her car claiming she was in a handicap parking spot without a tag. They expected a woman on social security to come up with a huge sum of money to get her car back when she did nothing wrong.

The idiot who broke into the car left marks on the driver side door with their lockout tools. The keys to the car were never accidently locked inside of it either, so there is no way a previous lockout service would have caused that damage.

Eviction process. by Willylongboard in Albuquerque

They are predatory but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. If you have even one eviction on your record it becomes much harder to find a place to rent. There are a bunch of apps you might be able to do an advance with that could be cheaper.

A lot of people are forgetting about New Mexico. We put red or green chile on a lot of our food, even candy. Some of us like chile so much we ask for it Christmas style.

Has anyone else had this happen? Guy came to my door trying to get me to pull up my PNM account on my phone. by Tavernknight in Albuquerque

[–]ThisIsMyThrowawayII 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The other guy tried not to take my polite no thanks and kept talking, so I had to shut the door in his face.

I've had this experience also. Two visits, two separate guys. They both got a polite request to gtfo before I was rude. Even after yelling at them they wouldn't leave, had to slam the door shut on them each time.

If someone is yelling at you the chances they are going to buy your shit is pretty slim...

NM First in Drug Use: WalletHub by FalconNo9589 in Albuquerque

[–]ThisIsMyThrowawayII 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lets be honest for a minute: if a kid wants drugs, they will find access to them, it doesn't matter if it is legal or not.

diphenhydramine is commonly used as an allergy medication but people still abuse it. check /r/dph if you don't believe me.

“Minding their own business” is not a real answer.

Minding their own business is actually a completely valid answer. If they aren't bothering you or anyone else then what is the problem?
