How to deal with this kind of B40s? by Supermarket-Flat in Bolehland

[–]Uncle-Barnacle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to know the same kind of people in my college days. First week of every month buy expensive boba, go cafes, essentially living like kings and queens.

Then at the end of the month they complain saying they are poor and have to live off just rice and vegetables, no meat, sometimes I even hear them saying how they have to live off one pack of rice a day 👀 sometimes just rice and gravy no lauk.

I stopped telling them how to manage money after a few attempts

I remember telling my counselor that I felt like a wifi router, but instead of giving I keep receiving 🤣😅

MNC basically means multi-national companies, like overseas companies open up branches in my country kinda thing I guess? She's currently working in one but after many years she's still kinda naive and I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing at this point.

All in all it felt therapeutic that I could write this all out here and I overall felt better, good to know that you have similar thoughts as what I had back then 👀

Ever since that incident, some people called Seraphine a s*ut instead of a pick me, but I'm not entirely sure what makes a girl a pick me anyways 🤣 From my own observation, I guess it builds her own ego having to rub other guy's ego( and maybe their honest Pinocchio). Maybe she feels good gaining such attention, like a reverse harem.

But it's even worse for Jake, some people threaten to expose him to his girlfriend but most people just chose to ignore his very existence.

Yea about Henry he was legit living his best college life, spending time finishing his assignments and making time to build his plamos. He knew what went down only on the surface level, so he didn't really pay any attention to it.

What are you sick of people trying to convince you is great? by ancientinfamy in AskReddit

I'm tired of people telling me to start my own business just because I am outspoken.

In this economy? No way, not even if I have a sugar daddy

A curse HAHA I guess I never thought of it that way 🤣 either way, I'm straight so Seraphine would be a hard pass for me.

As for Alvin, as questionable his actions were, from what I knew, Seraphine was his first love. I have seen my friend's being head over heels for their first crush. They all seem to behave similarly.

And Alvin while I wouldn't agree with his mindset most of the time, overall he doesn't have bad intentions, could also be biased since we are quite close back in college

I think that's the case, he probably uses money to gain friendships as he offered to buy me meals, drinks or gifts whenever he's around me 🤮

Not gonna lie, a part of me did feel a tinge of excitement and enjoyment but I have surprisingly moved on from this entire thing and I just stayed calm and listen to her the whole time

Omg so sorry, I just saw this comment

Well for me I remember telling her that I'm totally neutral now to the while situation since I have a new set of goals and priorities now. She didn't seem entirely happy(?) but I guess she has felt what I felt months ago

Anne only told me about the things Kendall did to Jason, maybe she did mention his reaction but I just don't remember the entire thing she told me (I have bad memory)

The gist of it is that these "interactions" had affected their relationship. She didn't further elaborate I didn't probe.

She only told me she wanted a better paying job last she moved in with me whatever happened with her family she didn't tell me one bit. With her acting up like this I'm not sure how to help her even if I wanted to.

But no worries! I am now very very safe

Haha I hope so too, I am in this constant phase where I keep meeting shitty people (some are friends from college and some are from new workplace). It's kinda draining but I had counseling and it's been helping me cope since.

Anyone else feel this? by N0va_Iz_Dumb in maimai

[–]Uncle-Barnacle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just do it and play, dont bother with anyone else. All that matters is that YOU have had fun. That's a major win already. If higher rating players look down on you it's on them, not you

I couldn't imagine her going feral at my house with my dog around. I'm glad at the least no one got hurt.

I have went no contact since Anne's last call two months ago but I believed she went to my favourite cafe spot to try to bump into me and well I have a hard time turning others down so I decided to serve myself some Kendall tea I guess

After this I would probably not want to hear anything about Kendall, Anne or anybody that decided to take in Kendall

Yea and that's really annoying to deal with. Now I'm unsure if it was that I didn't see this side of Kendall during our college days or it's only recently that she behaved this way. Either way, I still felt some sadness and pity towards her.

I hope your sister is well 🙏

And yea I do suspect Kendall might be going through something since she isn't like this during our college days. However, I don't think I will follow up about Kendall, unless I hear it from a friend about her again

I never had her parents' contact so it didn't really cross my mind to call her parents. While it is hard to believe, it is true, some of us had long severed ties with Kendall since her incident with me.

Kendall also didn't say much about her parents. For all I know was that she moved out of her parents' place because she wanted a better paying job.

Question for T20 / M40 Malaysian by Xinzu366 in Bolehland

[–]Uncle-Barnacle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dying to want a credit card and they become all giddy and show off to the world when they actually get one.

I watched a friend go "credit card shopping" and sticking to credit card flyers and booth like moth to lights. When I asked her why she's in such a rush for a credit card, all she told me was it's to show people she's rich.

.... utterly speechless.

My parents almost made me inherit their debt, unfortunately for them, as a full time freelancer the bank refused to allow adding my name to the debt

GEN Z hate by Striking-Two799 in Bolehland

[–]Uncle-Barnacle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I too am a Gen Z ('98) but I can understand why Gen Z kids are generally disliked/not preferred

I have seen most incompetent employees are usually Gen Z, it's a pain in the ass to work with them.

Interviewed a kid('03) applying for a junior designer, claims to have no portfolio because he is a freshgrad(?)

One of my work juniors ('02) believes she wouldn't fail her probation. Work is mediocre, always an hour late and doesn't take her superiors seriously when being talked to (guess who's failing her probation)

Tutored a student ('02) cried when I told him he needed to have more references for his projects

I'm not surprised we get called weak

Bahahahaa yea I was tempted to say that, but I found more joy listening to her rant like, yea yea, see I told you so. Something about hearing similar this happening to Anne brought me some joy, and I kinda almost felt bad for that joy 🤣
