Reply to comment by pinto_bean13 in TIFU by accidentally giving my nephew a book about a little girl killing her family members by AustinLVII
Yikes, totally forgot that! Then again, I did read it when I was… maybe 12, because it’s relevant to the discussion, but in any case a long time ago!

For example, Cinderella… the glass slipper was not glass but a kind of fur, non-transparent, the stepsisters literally cut off one or several toes to get their foot inside, the prince doesn’t notice until his pet crow tells him to look at the blood dripping on the ground.

Well, you do that if you are dead certain you were recognized. And if you are dead certain the boss will not prefer to ignore it.

Reply to comment by stachemz in TIFU by not checking how much drinks cost at a hostess bar by guutarajouzu
No personal experience here, but I would expect she pockets something like half the price of each $25 shot as her pay. The other half is pure profit for the house, less the cent or so of water (it probably costs more to wash the glass than to fill it up).

Reply to comment by Impossible_One_2319 in TIFU by giving away a seat that wasn’t mine. by tomfoolery77
Some people expect more… I had paid extra for a row 1 seat because I wanted not only the extra legroom but also place to work on my laptop, and some guy asks me to move so he can be beside his girlfriend. He wasn’t even polite about it, shoving his face into mine from above. I asked what seat, it was two rows back. When I reply “No” (a complete sentence!) he start stammering “but” with a shocked face like his magic incantation unexpectedly hadn’t worked, until his GF shoved him. GF then sat beside me. No attempt was made to get someone from row 3 to move forward smh.

What rl combo? In AmEng you can kind of hear some slightly suggested r, but just skip it and say the kitten has an English name!

Yeah, there was a qualification there that got lost in the hesitation about whether to refer to years or months or days.

The dollar is supported by the US government, economy, and military-industrial complex. Sure it can crash, but it’s much less likely than crypto is to lose 50% of value wrt buying food and paying for a roof over your head.
Call it an investment if you like… but admit it’s a risky one, and don’t put in risky investments money that you can’t afford to lose.

Not a TIFU, I imagine that unlike acne that would only have gotten worse if left alone.

Reply to comment by divepilot in LPT: A good financial habit to get into is treating money as hours of work. Ask yourself how many hours of work something would take if you buy it. The awareness of the amount of time you put into purchases helps reduce compulsive spending. by humvee911
Came here to say this. It should be disposable income per hour of work. Does the book mention this?

Maybe she has a license, but finding an insurance company will not be easy!

Reply to Mortgage advice welcome! by mcleod4188
If you expect to finance your mortgage with renters, don’t treat this as a simple home mortgage. It’s a business loan and investment and should be treated as such.

Reply to LPT: When parking somewhere unfamiliar, open Google Maps and start a walking route to your destination. Screenshot it to remember how to get back to where you parked later. by BatmansNygma
Better: in a big parking lot or parking garage, take a photo of your car with enough context around to identify the spot (license number, parking spot number, floor number). Did you park on level 3 or level 4? The answer is on the photo. Is your car not there? Show the photo to the parking people.
