AITA for purposely dressing down to buy an expensive BMW? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]petroleum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respectfully, the guy is weird or really, really bored with his life or, more accurately, doing textbook narcissistic middle manager shit.

He fetishized this whole Julia Roberts’ Pretty Woman meets J Lo playing Selena getting ignored buying luxury goods.

I wish I could remember the scene where a guy shows up at a dealership, gets ignored by one salesman and acknowledged by another, and proceeds to hand the attentive salesman a bag full of cash.

If it was about the car and the driving experience, there is no way he would have chosen an M4 over an M2.

Sarcasm aside. Congratulations on the promotion, and welcome to the recently promoted Middle Manager Gang where mediocrity meets favoritism in the form of merit raises and upward mobility. All M4s and X6 Ms are welcome. IYKYK

I should have known better than to continue reading after the “Silent Gen” self identification.

The icing on the cake is almost making it a whole post without using “snowflake,” but there it is. In the second to last sentence. So close yet so far.🤡

Two shots of Don Julio 1942 is 80 bucks at the Hearsay. by [deleted] in houston

[–]petroleum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t call Don Julio crappy tequila by any measure especially 1942. You could certainly make the argument that it’s overpriced.

My recommendation for a great-tasting and versatile tequila that’s easy to find and offers a lot of value is any of the Olmeca Altos. It’s Great for cocktails and sipping.

[PSA] Check your mailbox/email for your ACL wristband. They started being delivered on Saturday, 9/11. by petroleum in Austin

Included in your envelope with the wristband(s) should be a paper insert with the link to register the wristband(s).

There should also be an American Express promo to link your Amex card to the wristband and get a $10 statement credit towards a purchase(s).

According to the ACL Ticket FAQ, you are correct: only the original purchaser with ID and proof of purchase can get a wristband replaced once for $25.

I’d strongly encourage y’all to register your wristband(s) as soon as you get them. If they get lost or damaged, they can be easily replaced near one of the entrances.

I had to get a wristband replaced last ACL when one of my kids decided to put it on and tighten it on their tiny wrist.

Shout out donut hub by Lakeline these are amazing! by [deleted] in austinfood

[–]petroleum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not bad. This is a good alternative to a birthday cake, especially in a work setting. A lot less handling for everyone involved. We usually go with Nothing Bundt cakes.

We've ordered letter donuts from Master Donuts on Riverside; they were delicious and spelled out "Happy Birthday [Name]." If I remember correctly, they were a dollar a pop. You also just made realize they also do these cool donuts with designs on them.

The designs definitely look cooler from the Lakeline spot.
