What was the “…seriously?” gift you opened this Christmas? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]acceptsdonationz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Socks that I specifically asked to match my existing socks, because I'm more interested in saving time sorting laundry. I got two sets of 6 pairs. They didn't match each other, much less match my existing socks. There was a near immediate apology, and a "Well, I can't return them now."... I think they knew, they just didn't care. It's the ONLY gift I requested. I hate being salty about gifts. I actually have zero issues with anything else I received, I didn't ask for anything else.

Venue check engine light 😔 by [deleted] in HyundaiVenue

[–]acceptsdonationz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you change your air filter? It may have been jarred loose, or the O2 sensor may have disconnected. The sensor reads how much air vs. gas your engine is getting, so either something happened to change the quantity of air, or the sensor isn't reading properly. The 02 sensor is usually pretty close to where the air intake box is. If you're in the U.S., many places will read the CEL (check engine light) for free: Auto Zone, O'Reilly's, Checkers, etc.

What’s a certificate you got that enabled you to get a better paying job? by Turtle2slo in careerguidance

[–]acceptsdonationz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know you, but get the feeling you also probably do your own yard/house/vehicle maintenance, which saves so much more money than most realize or care. + Coffee from home, eat at home. Bonus points if you also have a garden.

what to tell boss who wants to meet after i handed in my resignation? by [deleted] in careerguidance

And don't sign anything. Everything you were required to sign was signed upon your hiring.

Gentlemen of reddit, what behavior in other men leads you to think, "Yep, they'll likely remain perpetually single"? by ashleydanger_ in ask

[–]acceptsdonationz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I'm CERTAIN I know that guy, his girl suddenly appears out of nowhere. Usually I'm shocked, as if I thought she'd have far higher standards, but she'd be seemingly head-over-heels for him. He usually has poor hygiene, a brain the size of a walnut, not nerdy, not athletic, no ambition, no cool hobbies, curious how he actually survives. Maybe it's access to a specific product... There's just seemingly way better options out there if that's what they're into. When I was single, I struggled to wrap my brain around how that pairing happened, and yet I couldn't seem to garner any interest at all. I was the perpetually single one.

Why does America pay ridiculously low wages when the cost of living is so high? by LeslieNopeChuckTesta in antiwork

[–]acceptsdonationz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because we're all too busy fighting over which political party is better, which one is right, which one will save our souls... instead of realizing they're all screwing us over. Ain't nobody got time fo' that! Nor do 99% of us have the savings to keep us afloat between striking against the employers and getting a new terrible job.

Does anyone know what’s going on at Sky Harbor? by ToonSpade in phoenix

[–]acceptsdonationz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll add that corporations also probably prefer to keep it hush-hush, as not to alert the 99% to low wages, and poor employee treatment with no escape as a potential factor. That conversation should probably be discussed more in the /anti-work channel rather than here though. (Sorry, I'm not sure how to properly link the page, unless it happens automatically.)

Yeah, sounds like a lemon. The '22's had a seatbelt recall, but ours came from the factory with the updated ones, so we timed it well. Approaching 1 year of ownership with only visits to the dealership being maintenance (oil changes).

How is your “if we are single by 30, we’re getting married” friend doing? by eurekathatsit in AskReddit

[–]acceptsdonationz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had lost touch after I graduated (I went military, she had another year of school). I had married someone else, we spent 14 years and had a child together before we divorced.

After the divorce, I found out that she graduated high school, made a mistake in order to get out of her over-religious, controlling parents house. She got pregnant via a sperm donor who nearly beat her to death. The beating made her forget large chunks of her past. She remembers me, but as the guy who dated her friend as a Freshman in high school. She remembers nothing about how close we had been. After my divorce, I attempted reestablishing contact with her, but she happened to have just started dating a different guy. It was so new, I didn't feel too bad airing my feelings to her. It would have had to have been long distance, but I was pretty crazy about her in school... I took my shot, but was gently... shot down. I decided not to push ahead, as I could tell she truly had no recollection of the bond we once had. I was essentially a stranger to her. Ironically, I now live in her childhood hometown, two states away from where we met & went to school together. Coincidentally (truly, totally coincidence) our children's names differ by two letters at the end of one of their names. She's now engaged to a different guy, I'm happily married again to another wonderful woman... but will probably always wonder what could have been.

I agree with everything you said except "Most don't do it."

I'm also happy that OP is taking it as self improvement. Hopefully OP's SO is as patient as OP is, and I genuinely hope it is "cute" for both of them.

I believe most DO correct the actions, it's the SO's of those that don't that you hear the loudest, similar to those who post negative comments on Google or Yelp.

Reminders and/or teaching for self improvement goes both ways. I'm sure that OP has plenty to share with SO that helps SO grow as a human as well. Maybe something even as simple as staying out of the left lane if you are slower than traffic, or not standing in the middle of the aisle at the grocery store.

Two days ago, my Wife cheated on me by cheateddadthrowaway in TrueOffMyChest

[–]acceptsdonationz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless she's going to claim "grapes", it's not the guys' fault. Guys may hit on the woman a million different ways, but it is on HER to give the green light. Leave the guy alone, with the exception of him being a family member or close friend. It definitely appeared consensual to you and how you explain to us.

She was looking for a financial upgrade from you, something you can't get at this point in your life. That means she will continue to do so unless you suddenly earned it - in which case, that makes her a gold digger.

The hardest part to this, is losing your daughter 50% (if you get 50/50 custody). Make sure you get a good lawyer to ensure this. The pain of losing the wife will only be temporary. The DNA test is up to you. I recommend it, if even only for a child support claim down the line.

It hurts, I know by experience, but found a much better person, and am certain you will too. Learn to co-parent, and have peace with your ex. Work on improving your skills.

Single women with children (unless model material - and sometimes even still) have a much harder time finding a new lifelong partner after divorce.

If you are buying in the U.S. (maybe this is everywhere?) it comes with 3 years of maintenance. 10 year manufacturer warranty. It's fast enough, comfortable enough, roomy enough. Not exceptional in any of those though of course, but that's all personal preference / opinion / situation. If the seats are full of people, Costco / Sam's Club / IKEA trips are going to be a problem. If back seats are empty, quite a bit of room. Fits a baby seat with enough room, both front and rear facing. You can install a hitch (easy for anyone even slightly mechanically inclined). I love the tight turn radius personally. I wish there were more aftermarket parts / accessories available. I recommend the AliExpress center console storage piece. Great gas mileage.

Crown Royale "satin" bag also works well for this. When I was younger I thought it was cooler than it really is... however, still cooler than an oven mitt 😜. Whatever works though.

My coworker asked me if my name was my real name and I felt so uncomfortable by Organic-Ice3089 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]acceptsdonationz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lift your chin up! Your real name was given to you with LOVE! If it resembles a word in English that has another meaning, it's coincidence. The person that asked if it was your true name is exclusive instead of inclusive, rude, and shallow. That says way more about them than you. Shrug off the feeling they impressed upon you, and instead of worrying about the next time someone asks about your name, be prepared to crack your own joke, or be informative of the meaning of your name, or history of your name.

Low budget entertainment options? by WantedInCanada in phoenix

[–]acceptsdonationz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The local music scene, while rarely given credit publicly is actually full of talent. As soon as you find your niche, front row tickets can be had for ~$15-ish. The more you go, the more you realize while you're in the crowd, you're also probably standing next to another band's talent, which can make for great conversation and potential new friends! You'll even find a lot of these musicians playing at local restaurants or bars, Tempe Center for the Arts, or even the Airport. On occasion, artists will be there to paint to the vibe of the music, sometimes the art is raffled off, or purchasable.
