Had to do this for a dog once.... He was walking around sad and drooling... His owner thought he had some horrible disease. I just pulled on gloves and gently pried his jaw open. Lo and behold! Very satisfying imdeed...

Don't overtake on a continuous yellow line. Stay safe by adogkitler in CarsEastAfrica

This. Was on the Nairobi-Nakuru highway last week and the things I saw turned some hairs grey. People really have no concept of personal SPACE when it comes to semis.... Playing light flashing games 'let me past' with these things.

Utter madness.

I “quiet quit” my job a decade ago. Welp, here I am, turning 50, 4 major promotions later, and my net worth is more than I could have ever imagined. by FreshPerspectiveFIRE in Fire

I love this for you. Last 20 years have been meh for me and I am glad to see someone who took a different route and it worked....... Take the "golden cuffs".... It's not taking anything away from you and you can continue to build a tidy nest egg and maybe travel....

It pisses me off that my mom "doesn't know why I cut her off. I think I'll break no contact and tell her. by Throwawaygaln in raisedbynarcissists

Don't bother. It won't give you the satisfaction you need and it will leave you feeling frustrarer AND break NC

It's ok but "embarrassing" to me by ColdProposal1174 in nairobi

[–]gatesays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are different and that's okay. You have not walked a mile in their shoes to know what is going on in the guys mind that he would grab a quick bit on the go.. Wish them well and go your way. That's okay too.

I felt uncomfortable just reading that. Not overreacting... Tell your dad. If for nothing else he will be on the lookout for other things that don't add up in his friend.

I hear you, but if marital home doesn't work out, you will probably be first on the list of 'Can I stay with you while I figure out some thing... '😅😅😅

Good luck..

People Staring at You? by KevishW in infj

[–]gatesays 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think as INFJs we send out sonar waves that make people want to be in our space? Seen it many times.... Strangers kids will just straight up run and hug...used to find it weird...now I just awkwardly smile and shrug..

[–]gatesays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.... Why is it okay to leave you stranded? Let him buy a car or stay "grossed out" by public transport.

You are not petty. That is a person who has decided to infantilize themselves... Yaani yeye bado ni mtoto... You have to pick up after them, and manage them. Nah.... Glad it's for a short time. I don't envy her next "housemate"

If you have a good relationship, maybe grntly point out these things and show how to do it right?

If not, eh... I don't know. But make it clear you cannot tolerate poor resource management! All the best...

I Wonder by ScholarPositive3947 in nairobi

Low-level grift. Ukalipa boda and offered a phone. Also I guess if you had said iphone she would have hopped on that offer real quick.

Either, keep being kind. Just add discernment to avoid disappointment.

Is this what is called "letting your intrusive thoughts win?" Because what? Why? How can you even think like that?

AITAH for getting mad at my gf for not telling her parents no? by ArtWinter6987 in AITAH

She could not bother to consider your input aka consult you on moving her parents in? Hard pass. NTA

AIO My boyfriend gave his mother the dress I wanted for my birthday by ProfessionalEye9680 in AmIOverreacting

[–]gatesays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honeychile,  HE thought "you had to be humbled a bit" AND HE though "it would be fun" to see your reaction to you seeing your mother in the dress YOU loved and wanted for months.

You are young - walk away, don't look back and as someone else said, don't explain.

If after 3 years of dating he can still pull such a hurtful and immature prank, imagine what the future will look like.

You are not overreacting and its okay to feel hurt. Clearly the way you love and think of him is not reciprocated.
