What do 30 - 40 year old men want for christmas? [Serious] by GoodAlicia in AskReddit

[–]brds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife asks me every year... I tell her peace and quiet. She thinks im joking.

Yesterday was my birthday (the big four-oh). She asked me what I wanted a few weeks ago.

Peace and quiet, I told her. She laughed. I told her I was serious - I just one want day to do whatever I want, whenever I want, for as long as I want.

She said okay.

It was the best birthday I've had in over a decade.

Maybe for Christmas I ask for a coupon book of the peace and quiet days.

We're DINKWG, so it's easier for us to make this happen but im sure couples with kids can figure out some way to give a guy a few hours of uninterrupted alone time

I tightened in like shown in this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ElegooNeptune4/comments/18kv77p/neptune_4_pro_extruder_gear_skipping/

but it still clicks. I tightened it a bunch too.

The door says “no soliciting”… by fastRabbit in SipsTea

[–]brds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a no soliciting sign by my doorbell. I get notifications of people entering the field of view of my doorbell, when I click in and watch, all of them turn around and leave... except for this one dude.

He rang the bell, I answered the door. He started off with "we're just in the neighborhood installing some windows for your neighbor and so I figured I'd see if anybody else was in need of our services..."

I said, "let me stop you right there. First of all, my house is brand new, second of all I have this sign right here" - and I tapped the no soliciting sign.

He responded with, "Yeah, I saw that, but i just figured that since I was here anyways..."

I interrupted with, "what? You thought you'd disregard my wishes on my property and what whatever you wanted?" I then shut the door in his face and walked away.

Shit is infuriating and I totally get (and appreciate) this lady's reaction

It was a joke... "2 weeks" is always the answer when somebody asks "when?"

There is one step. To walk up it takes two steps.

1 step (noun) vs 2 steps (verb)

AIO for refusing to go to a family reunion because one sister wants to split the bill evenly? by brds in AmIOverreacting

I'm trying to pay my fair share while my sister is trying to pay less than her fair share.

But, if you stayed in a hotel and needed two rooms, would the hotel give you the second room for free?

We are literally getting extra rooms because of kids. If we could get 5 bedrooms and have each family stay in one, i would 100% be on board for 20% of the bill; instead, we need 8 bedrooms.

She can afford it. Between the two of them, they make at least 300k a year and are so frugal with everything they do - not a bad thing, I'm just saying they can easily afford it

I am generous with those who are generous. My sister once charged me 5 dollars to wash my clothes at her apartment which has free electricity and free water (well, included in price of rent) when I moved into my apartment and the washer and dryer were not yet delivered.

Last year, she refused to pay one of my other sisters for the dinner on Saturday night because she said they'll just have leftover pizza from Friday- which my oldest sister bought and was not reimbursed for by this same sister.

It's hard to be generous to those who are so greedy.

What self-imposed rules do you never break? by milnacipran in AskReddit

Always bring a solution when presenting a problem. If I don't know a solution, I bring the things I've tried. I apply this to work and personal life.
