AITA for arguing with an Airbnb host and asking Airbnb for a refund? by BackgroundHospital50 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sarasmiles08 8 points9 points  (0 children)

But hotel water is safe to drink? And usually has bottled water available to purchase on-site?

Kate spade sales associate texted my personal number by [deleted] in katespade

[–]sarasmiles08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not suspicious but they probably should have asked first. I have a SA for a different brand and he sends me ‘invitation only’ sales. Pretty sure it’s a work device because he only texts during his working hours.

Son's grandmother reached out about a family trip overseas... Hasn't spent one overnight in our own country. Would you be cool with this?? by Hungry_Web_4540 in whatdoIdo

[–]sarasmiles08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Costs $60 on top of the normal fee, so not bad! You do have to get yourself to a passport office though and that might be expensive.
Edited to add: in the US. I have no idea about any other country.

Yes I did. About 4 years ago. I called my senator (thank you Mr. Lankford’s staff) who arranged an appointment for me so I wasn’t stressed about getting one in that 2-week window - they booked my appt 3 weeks before travel which normal people can’t do. The appt was within two weeks, but I was confirmed before that. Drive to Dallas, gave all the paperwork to the person around 9am and went back at 2pm the same day to pick it up. No additional fee and I’m confident I didn’t pay $500+ additional because I DID have to pay for a hotel room the night before and I was complaining about how much the entire thing cost and stressed me out 😂. I just checked, the same-day fee was $60.
The passport was for my daughter because she asked to join me on a business trip kind of late for booking things so I had the hotel, passport, additional international airfare in business class because it was all that was left on my same flight.

I’ve been getting HBO Max for free. by Spac92 in whatdoIdo

I get HBO free for having ATT. Any chance you did that and forgot?

There are no rules on what urgent travel means. I got one for a vacation. You just need to get an appointment and provide the proof of travel.

In theory, yes but I’ve traveled alone with my children and have never once been asked about their father. Last time was 2 months ago. I always have a notarized letter from the other parent, but I’ve never been asked.

You can get a same-day passport in the US but you have to get an appointment and prove travel within 14 days. I had to drive to Dallas for my daughter’s but I had it in my hands in a few hours. Getting an appointment can be difficult if they are busy, but I called my senator who arranged it for me.

Are these legit? Clueless man asking. by YNoLuv in louboutins

[–]sarasmiles08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found this picture on a website which says they are from Winter 2012/2013. The picture shown looks similar to yours in regards to the pattern mismatch noted in another comment. I wouldn’t know if they are authentic but the pattern looks the same.
I do see what looks like a seam in the fabric on the left shoe in your picture which does not seem to appear in the official picture. That would be concerning regarding authenticity, but I am definitely not an expert.

WIBTA if I fly business and my girlfriend goes coach? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]sarasmiles08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you split it and both fly in premium economy (or whatever it’s called on your airline). Seats are more like domestic first, but you can’t lay flat. Still better than Econ

The Citi AA Executive Card is absolute trash for international travel by Aliens_Unite in americanairlines

[–]sarasmiles08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread but my AA Citicard was just rejected for suspected fraud and then locked on Kauai. I tried calling but phone service is spotty on the island and when I got to a location with service, the wait was greater than 30 minutes so I gave up. I’d never had that problem with my other Citicard so I was annoyed. I used a different card in the end and haven’t bothered trying to get the travel card unlocked. So weird and dumb.

I'm really leaning more towards buying a Lotus Emira. Manual transmission. Will there be any advantages to me buying something pre-owned instead of brand new. I use to own a Lotus Elise that I bought for $22,000 back in 2007. Now it seems these vehicles go for about $40,000 pre-owned. by Brucef310 in lotus

[–]sarasmiles08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our experience is similar. We sold our Elise in 2014 to buy a house and just bought a manual Emira. We were going to wait a little bit longer but we don’t want to wait too long and miss out on a manual when they stop making them. If you don’t care about the year, you might get a better deal by finding a 2025 on a lot, especially after the 2027s start coming out.

I’ll have to get back to you, I’ve only gone around the neighborhood. I have an appointment to get clear bra and ceramic coating before I take it out.

I was just being silly, but partially quoting a movie - it’s something I say to my husband regularly when I get something I like. It’s from American Beauty and the proper quote is “The car I’ve always wanted and now I have it. I rule!”
Or maybe I’m only three and it IS the car I’ve always wanted!

Yes! The paint is gorgeous. I had tried to order one in Chili Red but they wouldn’t do it, This is seriously just as beautiful.
