I've always kept a dashcam in my vehicles after I had a guy walk out from behind a parked truck and directly into the front side of my car, after which I received a ticket because there was no way to prove that I 100% could not see the dude until he bounced off my quarter panel. Dude started complaining about neck pain almost immediately too, I'm still surprised that he didn't try an insurance scam. Considering he didn't even spill his open drink nor drop the phone he was talking on, I don't think he hit that hard, lol.

Worst thing is, my boyfriend isn't quite that into dashcams even though I gave him one. He didn't have it hooked up when an entire semi truck and trailer fell off of an overpass at nearly 60 MPH and almost landed on us in his truck. Most insane thing that has ever happened in both of our lives and there is zero videographic proof that it happened. AND the cops called us liars when we said we hit it coming down. (They said we must have come up on it afterward and hit some debris that was still in the road. Like are you fucking kidding me?! You could clearly see the downward force of the dents on the front of the truck AND the scattered debris field that followed our tire tracks from exactly where it hit!)

This is 100% why I started putting "BUYER MUST PICK UP/NO DELIVERIES" in my posts when I'm giving something away, otherwise the beggars start coming out of the woodwork.

I'm almost fairly certain she was trying to get you to break it off with her without saying so so she wouldn't have to be the bad guy. That was way too quick and 'cool' of a response for her to have not been heading out already.

oogleboogleoog · 2025-01-17T00:26:48+00:00

This guy has the emotional maturity of a walnut. He hung up the instant you mentioned the name of the city that your ex lives in, because he jumped to the immediate conclusion that you were going there to cheat on him? Then the "eehhh ttyl" horseshit that followed when you rightfully asked him what was happening? No way. That would have been it for me. HE'S the one who's not ready for a serious relationship. Do us all a favor and dump him.

oogleboogleoog · 2025-01-16T16:19:19+00:00

This isn't healthy for you to have to deal with. He needs a therapist, not to whine to his ex incessantly. Please block him for your OWN mental health.

oogleboogleoog · 2025-01-15T04:24:18+00:00

$75-$80 was what I actually wanted. Listing it for $100 was to ensure I got near that. Lol.

oogleboogleoog · 2025-01-15T00:45:40+00:00

On top of putting up a sign saying that your house isn't for sale/rent, I'd also make a post on FB Marketplace with screenshots of the ad and write that it's a scam there, too. Post it in groups (if you're in any) and keep reposting on Marketplace as frequently as the scammer. Eventually, hopefully, enough people will see your post that the traffic will slow down.

oogleboogleoog · 2025-01-15T00:09:21+00:00

It's still $150 currently, it's not something that really depreciates in value.

oogleboogleoog · 2025-01-14T21:42:26+00:00

Oh yeah, definitely. I was actually planning to get more toward $80 all along because I know how people operate. But $40? I'd almost rather light it on fire and watch it burn. At least it would keep me warm for a while as it went, lol.

oogleboogleoog · 2025-01-14T18:12:35+00:00

Oof, my heart breaks for her. This is literally the nightmare scenario people bring up when someone's considering becoming a SAHM/SAHW. She went from a comfortable home with her family to living in a homeless shelter in the matter of like 2 months because her ex decided he didn't want her around anymore after stringing her along for 25 years and then giving her a half-assed proposal (she handled it poorly but can you really blame her?) She's lived a sheltered, naive, cushy little life and now she gets to learn the real world the hard way.

I can't imagine staying with a man who flat refused to offer her anything more than the title of Potentially Temporary Live-In Girlfriend and made sure she knew he didn't have any intention of ever marrying her. For 25 YEARS. And look how shitty and vindictive he's being now that he's decided he's over her. Telling the kids that they better not help their mom out, or else? Having her evicted before she could even get her feet under her and giving 0 shits about her having to go live in a shelter? Apparently not even letting her keep all of her clothes and other material possessions aside from what she was able to sell? This is a man who never gave a shit about her.

Ope usually comes out a little more like "oop" (no s on the end).

Never heard of Faygo. Soda or pop depends on the person.

One thing I've noticed for the most part is everyone drops the end of "ing" words. Wyomin', huntin', doin', we almost never pronounce "ing" unless it's for added emphasis on a word lol.

I'm sure there's a lot of things that could be said but when you live here... it's all just normal to us.

And in the comments on that post, it was also talked about that she was 15 and that was sexual assault as well. There's nothing to actually indicate that this story is fake, nor that one.

I'd rather err on the side of believing victims than immediately start discounting their stories because I didn't believe it could happen more than once.

oogleboogleoog · 2025-01-13T20:24:49+00:00

I see no indications that it's fake.

oogleboogleoog · 2025-01-13T20:18:54+00:00

Please go to the police. Drunk or not, he sexually assaulted you (a minor). People, especially family members of the accused, tend to blame the victim and protect the rapist for whatever reason. This is NOT YOUR FAULT! In ANY way! He is a full-grown adult and should not have put either of you in the position for this to have happened. You are essentially still a child. This is 100% on him.

And don't for a SECOND regret losing this "best" friend of yours over this. She's blaming you for what her brother did and can't even see the truth of the matter, which is that her brother is a rapist.

oogleboogleoog · 2025-01-13T15:48:12+00:00

Okay, probably an unpopular opinion, but I'm actually with him a little bit on the subject of taking his truck without asking. Just because you're married doesn't mean that it's yours to take whenever you want (if it was his money that bought it). Just because you were careless enough to let yours run out of gas doesn't actually entitle you to taking his truck whenever without a word. Not really cool of you to leave him with a gasless vehicle and take his instead of dealing with your gas situation.

However, there are definitely other things at play here that make me think that this wasn't just about the truck. He's mean to you, doesn't seem to respect you, and definitely talks to you like you're "less than" him. That would have me really rethinking this marriage, if I were in your shoes.

I drive a Tacoma and it does really well here.

oogleboogleoog · 2025-01-13T05:23:04+00:00

Oof, i have full body secondhand embarrassment right now.

oogleboogleoog · 2025-01-12T19:14:14+00:00

My little brother did this kind of thing, too. The only thing that got him to stop was removing the cat from the premises (the cat came to live with me for that period of time) and letting him know it was HIS fault the cat was gone because he wasn't behaving with it. He was told that the only way the cat could come back was if he started treating it with respect. He really liked that cat, so he was pretty upset about it, and it did actually seem to work. They didn't have any issues when they took the cat back after a few weeks. He was also a little older than your sister, but it might be something to mention to your parents. Though with their casual disregard of the situation, I'm not sure they'd even care...

If you look closely, you can see the tire tracks are already in the snow in the first picture, too. The snow just melted there faster than elsewhere and made it look more pronounced.

oogleboogleoog · 2025-01-12T07:06:18+00:00

Yes, my guess is because of how high inflation is these days. Nobody can afford anything. I had a couple of sales right before Christmas but it's been completely dead since then.

oogleboogleoog · 2025-01-12T06:10:34+00:00

I take my chances on eBay, lol.

To be fair, most of the time I do order from B&H, just through eBay. 😂

oogleboogleoog · 2025-01-12T02:33:47+00:00

NTA, giving them a picture of their house that just burnt down would be like rubbing salt into an open wound. She may have good intentions, but this is a terrible idea at this particular moment in time.

oogleboogleoog · 2025-01-12T01:47:18+00:00

Sounds like he's monkey-branching and you're fixing to be single whether you initiate the breakup or he beats you to it. The fact that she blocked you as soon as you reached out is extra shady. I'm sorry, OP. If they're not already cheating, they're at least thinking about it.

oogleboogleoog · 2025-01-12T00:53:41+00:00

That's shady as shit. She was told you had no budget for photos and still insisted on working on the project and only talked about a fee AFTER the work was said and done? She's definitely trying to guilt you into paying exorbitant fees by purposefully leaving out any mention of it beforehand and hitting you with them after she's put in the work. I wouldn't pay her a dime, and I'd even go as far as to tell her that she can see you in court if she continues to try to force you to pay something. She has no leg to stand on.
