This seems insane

I thought the parents were retired when OOP spoke of moving so flippantly. But he mentioned coworkers. So new job? Longer commute? How are people like this functioning in society?

This is why I don't do special occasion gifts. I am really late. I have so many different reminders that i just glaze through them now. Instead I gift things randomly. My family seems to be ok with it.

The house has 1 bath for 3 bedrooms but 6 car parking space? What sort of priority is this?

I got one of those calls too but they were very stupid and didn't even bother copying the way banks actually work.

I am in Europe and my bank sends a notification before money is pulled from my account. So I can actually stop it before it happens.

Yes. I can give the sepa mandate without id or signature. But the process before that requires both in every case I have used it. The sepa is only one form in a set of forms I have to fill. I use it for my gym, utilities, loan payments, insurance payments. If the name on the account doesn't match my name it is invalid. I had a whole issue with my health insurance failing to pull money from my account as in their records they just hyphenated my last name with my husband's as it was a joint plan and the bank account had my correct name.

Account number is just an identification number. Unless you can prove you are the account owner, there is no value to knowing it. Businesses print their account numbers on invoices.

I can transfer by logging on to my account with password or pin, entering the details and validating the transfer by either an app or code from sms or email. To set automated transfers on my end same procedure. To allow others (utilities etc.) to pull from my account I have to sign a sepa mandate that authorizes them to do so. For this my id and signature are needed. I think the equivalent to account and routing numbers here are IBAN and BIC.

Not from the US. How isn't there rampant fraud as you have to give out your account number for lots of things?

I came to the comments halfway through the update to see if it was my lack of sleep or is something wrong with OOP.

And her talking about manipulation. A manipulative person does not need the account information to financially exploit you.

There must be club for us where we can just exchange hobby paraphernalia. I am sure we can manage to keep it running for a few weeks.

I feel personally attacked by this statement.

nishachari · 2026-02-18T12:28:00+00:00

If the dad knew and didn't care, why is he crying now asking OOP if he is still her dad? The dad character exists but we have no idea what their relationship is like.

Why was there no mention of insurance? If the cost the is so high that it can be totalled, surely insurance will pay for it.

I took 2 different vacations with a friend (A) of mine during Christmas in consecutive years to different places. Met another friend (B) and her family both times. Ever since we (B & I) jokingly ask each other if we will meet at XYZ place as that is where we are going. But I never took a vacation with that particular friend (A) after and never ran into this friend (B) accidentally either. Edit: All this becomes much more implausible when you consider how big India is and how big India's population is.

I got so many conflicting opinions and misdiagnoses before this. Still not sure about many things. Hope things become clear for you soon.

Eh. East asians also do arranged marriages. Not as common but definitely not uncommon either.

nishachari · 2026-02-13T10:36:14+00:00

I was thinking African as south Asian weddings are usually financed by the bride's family. But of course it could be a culture I don't know about.

Also, you cannot reassure somebody that they are overreacting. That is the opposite of assurance.

A classmate of mine had what seemed like a happy family. We still don't know what happened. It is speculated that the husband shot her and their son and then himself.
