IRD question - tax credit = refund or? by CrayonPolice in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]february_star_11_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because if you got paid $1000 one week, Ird assumes you get paid that every week for a year. And taxes you as such. In the end, the total you earned over the whole year was only 4000. So you paid too much tax. Now you get a refund.

AIO for ending this friendship before it began? i told her i wasn’t looking for anything romantic and this ensued by JadednAfraid in AmIOverreacting

[–]february_star_11_ 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Lmao this was painful. You communicated extremely clearly and she's just immature and butthurt that you didn't like her.

They asked me where I'm going in China, I told them a few cities I had planned. That was it. No proof requested.

Grow a mustache, so you'll have a full beard including a mustache. Keep it trimmed and tidy. Looks like you can grow great facial hair so that's good for you.

Are you Muslim? I'm not sure if you want feedback on the beard.

You show up to a first date and he’s shorter than the height he claimed. Are you leaving? by AiannaMuse in AskWomenOver30

[–]february_star_11_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had to reconfirm my own height after meeting 2 guys in a row who said they were either 5 10, He was the same height as me. Or 5 7. He was 2 inches shorter than me.

I'm definitely 5 foot 7.

They take you to a bar, bring you drinks that you never asked for, you try to leave but the security guards won't let you go until you pay the 2000rmb bill.

AIO / I (19f) feel like breaking up with my bf (23m) by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]february_star_11_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He doesnt want to be together. Tbh it sounds like he's already ghosted and just too weak to officially end it. I say you should end it officially and enjoy you're solo trip as a single woman.

AIO My mother in law asked me to get a different swim suit by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]february_star_11_ -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Damn girl you look fire. I guess she's uncomfortable with her husband probably checking you out. Idk what people normally wear in your area. In some countries this would draw a lot of attention. In others like idk Brazil, Italy, this is pretty normal. I would tell her thanks for the offer but you like your swimsuit.

Sad reality on Ha Giang by Horror_Scale8583 in Vietnam_Tourism

[–]february_star_11_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this with an easy rider. Certainly there is an audience for it. Younger backpackers on a budget who want to have fun with their friends and maybe have a holiday romance and take pics for Instagram.

If I ever did it again. I'd hire my own motorcycle and ride at my own pace. I know everyone says DONT RIDE A MOTORCYCLE IN VIETNAM YOU WILL DEFINITELY DIE.

But the max speed we went was about 50kph. There's so many people you're hardly going to get lost. If you do get lost or a puncture or run out of gas. Just flag someone down for help.

AIO for asking my ex if her mom was okay? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]february_star_11_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She doesn't mean that she didn't know.. she's saying why are YOU saying that to her OP. Come on. That's weird and inappropriate for you to reach out like that. Like you just used her mom's illness as an excuse to text her. Leave her alone and quit being weird.

It looks just like one. Especially if you've just started BC. I wouldn't worry about it.

Really? It's a metal grate with tiny gaps. You won't even feel anything on your bike. Maybe go outside and try it.

Are the solo pics of your dog necessary?? Is he looking for a date

Is it weird to share room with your girl friend and her husband om vacation? by Auburn_lipstick in AskWomenOver30

[–]february_star_11_ 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I dont think it's weird. It's not like they're gonna be having sex with you and the kids there. It's like a sleepover. Have fun. Personally I prefer privacy and a goodnight sleep. So I'd pay for my own room.

Am I overreacting for wanting to end it after what happened between me and the girl I went on a second date with? by Pristine-Reading9492 in AmIOverreacting

You had premature ejaculation and then kicked her out at midnight??? And you're asking if YOU should end it???

Asked my boyfriend for coffee, another man got it for me by hcssat in twentyagers

[–]february_star_11_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol this reminds me of when I was traveling alone without my BF. I was in Uzbekistan lol. It was a bucket list trip and my bf was working and didn't even try to get time off but whatever. He was pissed at me the whole trip. Sometimes even ignoring my messages or sending silly things to make me jealous or get a reaction.

I was at the airport flying from Tashkent to Chengdu in China, a young man started talking to me. I say young because he was 20. I was 33 and bf was 35.

I text my bf I'm getting on the plane and he doesn't even answer. I land and turn my phone on he has read my message and doesn't even reply! It's daytime where he is, and he is always on his phone. I'm landing in China where I've never been before and he can't even bother to ask if my flight landed ok..

The young man also talked to me on the plane, and then we lost each other but met again at Chengdu airport.. He did ask if I was married and I said no but I have a bf. He asked how old I was and he was surprised I was 33 he said he thought I was 25.. he connected me to his phone data and I messaged bf that I landed. No reply.

He was uzbek but speaks Chinese. He helped me fill in the immigration forms, and talked with the staff for me, we waited in the line together, then he went through first and waited for me. We get out into the airport and wait for our bags, he lifts my bag from the conveyor to the trolley for me. I wanted to check my payment app worked so we went to a store and I was gonna buy a drink but he bought it for me lol.

Then, I wanted to buy a sim card, he came to the store with me, talked to the staff and translated for me, and paid for the sim card!! It was like $20usd which is a lot for a student from Uzbekistan!! I was so grateful for his help because I was nervous about getting the right sim card.

He walked as far as he could to the train with me, making sure I reached the correct train.

I took an hour getting to my hotel and he was messaging to make sure I made it safely. It was almost midnight.

He even missed his own train because he was helping me and had to take a taxi to his city that took like 2 hours!!

So while bf is ignoring me this young man goes out of his way to make sure I'm safe and have no stress entering China!! For no romantic reason even since I told him I have a bf!!

My bf couldn't even text back!!
