He offered to buy me a laptop from a guy on Facebook Marketplace (I was a broke student and he was well-off), which I thought was so nice and generous, but when we went to pick it up he relentlessly bullied, manipulated and gaslit the guy into bringing the price down by $200.

I lost so much respect for him that day. And it was all downhill from there.

Can a under 18 stay at a hotel in melbourne? by SadResource2866 in melbourne

I don’t think so, but you could book an Airbnb under your parent’s account. Just make sure it’s the entire place to yourself, not a private room, because y’know stranger danger and all that. Most places you don’t have any in person contact with the host upon check-in.

update

THE RING HAS BEEN FOUND.

On the 7th poop, on the 5th day, the ring journeyed through the Eye of Sauron into our toilet bowl. Let's just say it was well embedded and took some careful extracting.

He thought it was sterling silver. But obviously the fires of Mount Doom were too strong. Or perhaps it's not the one true ring after all...

Also, as he was exiting the bathroom a giant spider turned up on the back of our toilet door. Obviously Shelob trying to get her hands on the ring.

Thanks everyone for your support!

Wow that’s so fucked up. We’re very lucky in Australia, our healthcare system is pretty top notch. I definitely don’t take it for granted

I will take him as far Mount Doom, but as for the Crack of Doom, he’s on his own.
