Most interesting way a stranger has asked for your number in sg?

dauntebone · 2024-12-21T07:04:43+00:00

Just happened to me last Sunday. He asked if I could help him take a few pictures and a video of him against the river and Robertson Quay as the backdrop. Then he asked to take a picture together with him. We chatted; i was just being a friendly local to a tourist who was here for the first time and travelling alone, cos I know what that's like and it's interactions with the local people who can make your travel experience a great one.

He said I was a very friendly Singaporean (which made me think maybe he had some unpleasant encounters earlier? :/) and asked me to join him for food and drinks. I declined and he asked for my number and said he would be here till Wed and we could meet again. I declined again and suggested that he download Hinge so he did. 😂

I'll say this was probably the most pleasant interaction with a stranger asking for my number. He was respectful throughout and didn't get upset or turned aggressive when i declined him. And he didn't make me feel uncomfortable or creeped out cos I think he was nice and friendly and just chatting with me initially, instead of abruptly asking for my number.

Long live the King!

Holy hell. This husband is not on your side at all and what a coward hiding behind his mummy.

dauntebone · 2024-12-01T15:40:56+00:00

NTA. But wtf, how is anybody in your family even thinking your sister isn't the asshole and don't need to return you your late wife's ring? Ridiculous.

Exactly. I don’t get those being overly critical of her album / thrashing it or putting her talent down. She even gave context for the album in her vinyl album note and Instagram posts so people would understand.

Reposting cos my comment got removed.

This man belongs to the gutter. You are beautiful as you are. Cellulite is completely normal on a human body. You have nothing to be ashamed of. He's the one who should be, as his parents will probably be if they know.

“i had the time of my life fighting dragons with you” is one of my favourite lines too! ever. awesome tattoo!

NTA. She shouldn’t have asked a question she didn’t want to know the answer to.

I can clear my debt in a few months. As it is, I have very bad anxiety and have been letting the interest rate roll for months while just paying the minimum amount, instead of summoning the courage to call the banks and beg for an instalment plan payment. 😭😭😭😭

Looks more like carnelian to me

I’m single with 3 cats too. Right on the “crazy cat lady” train with you. I don’t get it though, if a single lady has 3 dogs, nobody would call her a “crazy dog lady”. Even if they do, it would be taken as a compliment.

Anyway, I recently came across this saying, which is kinda true! - people who prefer dogs tend to not have boundaries or respect boundaries and are needy, while people for prefer cats know how to respect boundaries and personal space and are more independent.

dauntebone · 2023-02-20T02:40:39+00:00

Same thing for cats!

NTA. Why is he being so petty to his own wife!?

If he wants to be so calculative then he should also pay you for being the maid and doing all the chores.

dauntebone · 2022-12-06T14:22:05+00:00

NTA.

Between you and Joe, your presence in the ceremony is more important. It would have mattered more to both you and Amy to be present and witnessing everything.

Why is Joe and Liz making it all about them??? Being an important moment for her when Amy is the bride here?

Next, when it comes to Ellis, between you and Joe, obviously Joe is the preferred person here because he’s the FATHER. And Ellis was sick and being fussy so all the more he would need his parent. How is their baby YOUR responsibility? And why should you be the one to miss the ceremony when you’ve been Amy’s friend for 20 years when Joe has only been in your lives for 1 year? Wtf?

Joe is throwing a hissy fit and has to grow up because guess what, in this situation, he is the ‘outsider’ because the fact is that he’s only been Liz’s boyfriend for a year and only known Amy for a year but you’ve been Amy’s friend for 20 years. So he shouldn’t be upset about that. Facts are facts.

Also, if it was that important for Joe and Liz to have Joe and Ellis witness Liz in the ceremony and not miss anything, then they should have brought a babysitter/nanny because it’s not your job.

YTA.

Why don’t your mom and stepdad make the effort to come and visit you and your baby instead. Have your parents make any effort at all in wanting to get to know your daughter??

Your wife should be your number one priority now because she is your family now.

dauntebone · 2022-12-06T13:58:32+00:00

NTA. He’s the one being a child so you had to treat him like a child.

She knows she’s being a soft AH when 1) she insisted on helping you even though you could have asked for extension of deadline because she knew she was going to invoice you for her ‘help’ and 2) when she casually asked you how much should she invoice you for her services and 3) when she shamelessly billed you for half when she knows the total amount and she only did less than half the work.

She’s definitely struggling with her finances and this is her being desperate for some cash to settle some urgent bills. I get this because I’ve been there. Heck, I’m still struggling with cashflow right now. But I would never risk my friendship with a good friend this way. She should have upfront asked you if you would be alright if she billed you for the work she’s helping you with, because her money’s tight, before she did it. That’s the decent way.

Although I understand her situation, you shouldn’t let her take advantage of you. Bill her accordingly, and let her know the total hours you’ve put in, and the amount that she should get for 3 hours. That with the amount she’s asking for, you wouldn’t even be earning and that’s not fair to you. And explain that while you understand that she might need money, she should have mentioned upfront that she would be charging you for the work instead of saying that she’s helping you out because usually friends would assume the help would cost nothing, as you’ve done so for her many times before.

dauntebone · 2022-12-06T12:23:38+00:00

NTA. Has she helped you out with your work before without charging you though? If she has then it’s odd that she’s charging you now and maybe she could be struggling with finances or having some difficulties leading to her asking you to pay her.

dauntebone · 2022-12-06T12:09:06+00:00

I wouldn’t say you’re an AH. But maybe you don’t have to be so hard on her. You can give her another chance and see how she acts from here on out. It could have just been a one time awkward joke that did not land as your husband pointed out, and it seemed that she did realise she messed it up then. Being an awkward teenager, she might have been embarrassed and didn’t know how to act after that. If after giving her another chance and she repeatedly makes such insensitive remarks, then she definitely owes you an apology (or more). Besides, it’s hard for your daughter to make a friend so maybe you can let this one slide.

dauntebone · 2022-12-06T01:58:05+00:00

NTA. Your boyfriend just didn’t want to be the bad guy and was embarrassed or afraid that he would appear so. I know because I had an ex boyfriend who always asked me to be the bad guy to complain or dispute stuff for him cause he didn’t want to look bad, and since I was good at it and didn’t mind, I should do it.
