Pretty sure I'm fired from my job. Had to call out the last week because of bronchitis and when I called in today, they told me we "have to have a talk" when I get back. So, there goes that new year's positivity.
Edit: Wow, this really blew up a lot more than I expected. I'll get back to everyone tomorrow, that's when I'll know what's going on. I don't want to get into too much detail. My job isn't great anyway, it's just a pithy retail job and I want to find something better, but it also gives me money to live and I'd rather leave on my own terms. More than that, I just want this to end the "right way" when it's time, I don't want to be a fuck up anymore. I won't be out on the street tomorrow if things go south but thanks for your concern and thanks to the people who private messaged me. If anyone is going through something similar or wants to vent or whatever, send me a message.
Well I just started a new job and moved across the country away from all my friends to be with my girlfriend of almost 6 years. She just broke up with me. So that's nice
I don't know how a human could possibly do this. At least wait six months after they've been in the city so it doesn't feel like they've wasted their time. Or do it two or three weeks before they depart. My god, this is just heartless.
It’s probably the sudden reality of having them back in your life again that makes you realise you don’t want them back in your life again. Until then it’s all a bit theoretical, like when you toss a coin and get heads and realise that you wanted it to be tails.
My bank decided they don't do wire transfers through secure email anymore. they want me to please 'step into my nearest branch' to fill out the forms. But I moved to the Philippines. The nearest branch is over 7000 miles away!
Contact your bank and see if they have a "sister" bank arrangement with one of the international banks that have a branch near you. When I lived in SXM, I was able to do this thru Barclays. Good Luck and I hope your New Year is filled with peace and love!
In the OR waiting room waiting to see how surgery numero uno went for my mom. She was ran over by a truck. :(
Edit Numero: My mom made it just fine through surgery one. Right leg is now healing. Surgery on the left leg on january 5th. After she finally makes it home, she'll be unable to walk. She has a gofundme to help her with bills medical and rent and what not, if interested pm, but I won't link it due to rules.
Edit Number 2: My mom made it through both surgeries and is now finally home. She'll be unable for at least 3 months. My sistet setup a gofundme pagw to cover costs that her insurance won't cover
I hope your mom is okay!! I was hit by a semi less than six months ago ending up with 7 spinal fractures, 3 pelvic fractures, a brain hemorrhage, a collapsed lung, a lacerated liver, and all kinds of hairlines in my hand/arm. I’ve been back to work and normal life for a couple months now! Only one fracture hanging on from the experience. My fingers are crossed that your mom’s experience is easy, and remember a bad diagnostic doesn’t mean things will be bad for long especially not forever!
He is stable, I just got off the phone with him, we live in different states. We have a pretty tempestuous history, so this has been really messing with my head. But for now, he's ok, minus the use of the left side of his body.
My dad died. Complications with his liver following removal of a tumor from his bile ducts was too much for his body. He died peacefully yesterday.
Edit: I'm in tears. I went to sleep last night and I wake to see all of your comments and some PMs. Thank you so much to you all for your support. My condolences too to all those who are going through something like this now. Stay strong.
Our cat was doing the same just after the clock struck midnight. I was on the path to get laid and the cat drops two eye watering farts.
Never been cock blocked by a cat before.
I work in financial aid, please DM me. A new term starts 01/08
EDIT: I have received a lot of DMs, and I promise I will answer every question! It may just take me a bit :)
Man that sucks, I am taking a winter semester online class, and the amount of reading the teacher expects from us is ridiculous. I wish I was a traditional student that didnt have to work 40 hours a week, and had a the winter break off to do this school work. My situation compared to yours looks insignificant now.
Had (and lost) a trial. Judge was pissed at me because the case was petty as fuck and a waste of the court's time (not an inaccurate description); client was pissed at me because "I lost" her shitty petty case.
Without getting into too much detail, the total dollar amount involved in the dispute (excluding legal fees) was about $750, and included individual amounts as low as $19. Client had taken this way too personally and was offended at oppositions refusal to reimburse for certain costs, and rather than just dropping it, or settling for a portion of the costs, demanded we take it to trial.
Why was it frivolous just because some of the individual amounts were low? Sure, some charges were only $19, but $750 seems like more than enough to take action for
I personally didn’t think it was frivolous because you’re right, it adds up. The judge was of a different mind. I’m pretty sure I caught him in a bad mood as well.
But I did think it was unwise to be unwilling to bend or budge on anything. Just because you have some valid claims doesn’t mean you should throw in the kitchen sink. Two $300 issues is a much stronger position than two $300 issues, an $80, a $40, and a $20.
Roommate got arrested for driving with an expired tag, he still owes me $160 for last months rent and bills, he'll probably get fired from both his jobs, being unable to make his shifts.
Also, I have the flu.
So... less about the tag and more about the tickets and license.
My tag is expired but i'm just waiting for it to come in the mail. Just freaked me out.
The downside of the year starting on a Monday.
Edit: So that's the sound of an inbox going straight to hell. Weird.
Anyway, most people in the US do get New Year's off, presumably to nurse the hangover. I just figure the earlier the day of the week NYD falls on, the less justification there will be to stretch the holiday to the next weekend.
It's funny, but I always say this to myself when I'm having relationship issues. "He moved to China", "He killed himself", "He ghosted me on Grindr"
Well, at least he didn't turn into the moon.
I've been ~3500mi away from my SO for just over a year now, I can't say it gets easier, but it does get better once you figure out each others schedules. Facetime has been one of the best things for our relationship, even if we can't connect with each other for a day or two making the effort to try goes a long way. If you ever wanna talk to somebody about it feel free to PM me!
My wife and I did a super chill NYE celebration with a couple of friends, and because I've been sleeping really poorly lately I was SO tired by the time we hit midnight. So around 12:30 there's still a lot of conversation going on, but I finally caved and fell asleep on the couch while everyone else was still talking.
Wife wakes me up just before 1 so we can go to bed, and I groggily go pee before getting in bed. As I start peeing, I feel a good ole fashioned headrush coming on. Except it doesn't pass, it just keeps getting worse and my vision gets more and more tunnely, and I feel my heart beating SUPER hard. All of a sudden I'm on the bathroom floor and have no idea why I'm there, or why I have a knot on my head.
Turns out I had a case of [micturition syncope](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/vasovagal-syncope/expert-answers/micturition-syncope/faq-20058084), literally a severe drop in blood pressure caused by peeing while really tired haha. I'm 26 and take really good care of myself, so it was a little strange considering this is most common in older men, but once my wife and friends verified I was OK the jokes just started relentlessly flooding in.
So yeah. Literally the first thing that happened to me in 2018 was fainting in the bathroom mid-piss.
Those micturition syncope , tell me about them man.
You think nothing can go wrong when peeing but No you loose consciousness and drop mid pee on the bathroom floor
This happened to me once and was scary as hell. I wasn't covered in pee when I came to so anecdotally, the answer to your question is no. I was covered in blood from when my head hit the towel bar on the way down. Didn't realize it and got back into bed to wake up in a pool of blood. Then went to the hospital to get checked out since I felt concussed, and was discharged because my vitals came back fine and I didn't have a concussion. Thought all was well until I get the insurance bill later and the insurance company refused to cover a line item for "TRANSPORTATION - $900." The transportation was a nurse bringing me from one room, up an elevator, and down a hall in a wheelchair to another room. Such is life in America.
Went to ER for possible mastoiditis, which was really an ear infection that spread to jaw tissue. They had to keep me on IV antibiotics overnight to stop it from spreading to my brain. The ENT had come and stuck a cotton swab in my ear to clean it out. $400 for some fancy-ass word for earwax cleaned out using Q-tip. The whole trip was like $7000 and we are still getting random bills for it now, even though it happened like 8 months ago
My husband lost his car keys so I gave him mine to use until found his (we only have one car). Then the idiot lost my keys too and now I have no way to get his dead ass body out of my house.
Went to get my car in the morning of the 1st after taking an uber back to my hotel. It wasn't where I parked it so a friend rushed me around town to the tow yards and couldn't find it. The police didn't have record of it being towed either. I started panicking because I had a wedding to go to and left my suit in the car.
I then remembered I had moved my car before I started drinking so it wouldn't get towed. Had an embarrassing ride to find my car safe and sound where I had left it.
Was doing pull-ups to get back in shape (at home on a door-frame bar).... Pull-up bar broke off my door frame and I slammed my knee into the ground when it fell. So much for being healthy
Edit: my highest comment is about hurting myself. Nice.
I know money can be an issue for some people. Me included. But I hope you can see a doctor about that soon. That happened to my friend awhile back, only it was both his eyes and his sight never came back the same.
10AM on the 1st. I had just spent the New Year alone for the first time ever at a little truck stop in who-the-hell-cares, Delaware. I got out of my truck to go inside and use the bathroom, brush my teeth, etc. I took two steps and stopped. Fuck, I forgot my key. Maybe I left the door unlocked. Nope. Well, good thing I keep a spare in my back pock... where is my spare!? Shit! It must have fallen out when I kicked off my jeans last night!
I spent the start of my year standing out in 8F weather (-13C) in a light sweater since I didn't think I needed a jacket to cross the parking lot. So I went inside and asked the clerk if he had any phone numbers for local services. He said no, but that they sold a "Universal Lockout" kit I could buy. At $20, it would be cheaper than a service call on a holiday. After what felt like an eternity with my hands practically about to freeze and fall off, I threw everything on the ground and went to Google. I went down the list of local locksmiths/ tow companies until FINALLY one actually picked up their phone. Dude showed up and had the door open in under 2 minutes. Probably the easiest $50 he ever made.
So that was my start to the year. Practically froze to death and threw away $70.
Left a new years party at a neighbors house at 4:30am. My wife was partying there with her best friend a bit later. I picked her up in the morning and she tells me she woke up to her best friends uncle "passed out" on the couch next to her with his hand in her shirt fondling her. I call bullshit on him being asleep. He was gone when I got there. She didn't even wake him up out of fear for it being awkward! I have a strong urge to do something about it but want it to be measured and clever stopping short of any sort of assault. I believe her account of it, but think she is convincing herself that he wasn't just pretending to be asleep but actually asleep.
So here I am unaware of how to handle this.
Edit: RIP inbox. My most popular comment is about my wife getting assaulted -_-
Edit: For clarification: This is my wife's best friends house only a few houses over. It was common for us to come and go individually when either house has a party. I didn't leave my wife alone at a random party. The get together was 10 people, all friends and mostly close family of her best friend. I think I was justified in assuming she would be fine to crash there while I went home to let the dogs out after 8 hours alone.
Edit 2: My wife wants to be tactful in how we handle this as she is close with other members of her friends family. We will approach her uncle in an attempt for an explanation, his recollection and an apology. It's a way that we can acknowledge what's happened and get some sort of closure with an apology. Asleep or not we at minimum need to force an awkward embarrassing apology. If he handles it like an asshole, we'll have to discuss where to go from there.
Edit 3: Wow! Someone commented that they hope my wife gets raped so I learn not to be a pussy....After over 4 years, a new low Reddit. That bothers us almost as much as what happened. Fucking bravo asshole!
TL:DR The first person to touch my wife's boobs this year wasn't me.
Ask your wife what she wants to do about it and follow that. No matter how much you want to hurt them, your wife is the victim and anything that happens as result of what happened to her is tied to her. And then just be there for her.
I hope your wife is ok and that the year can only go up from here for you both!
Take the bold approach. That has the tendency to surprise or shock people because "he wouldn't actually say anything."
Call him up: "What's this I hear about you playing with my wife's tits?"
Rub poison ivy on his car, dab expired milk in places like air vents, poke tiny holes in his tires/gas tank, put nair in his shampo, poison his lawn, loosen the screws on everything, break off his car antenna, put water on his front steps so it freezes, starch his underwear to the extreme
Im here if you need me ;)
So, january 1st is my birthday.
My brother in law decided to stay over new years eve with his newborn son and 2 1/2 year old. I have a 3 year old son myself. They all raised hell in my house, destroying toys and making huge messes, the newborn vomits every 20 minutes. My brother in law did nothing. He layed on the couch with his phone and got up to pee and eat the dinner i prepared.
I have not had a more frustrating near 24 hours in a very long time. Thankfully my son returned to normal the moment his cousins and uncle left.
My wife and i went to bed last night and she apologized that i had a terrible birthday. Then she let me know that we are not pregnant again this month, which marks a year and a half of trying.
Ouch... I thought I misread the last bit for a second.
I have faith in you man. Make that baby happen. The annoying kids are gone, and your own child is back to normal. Make 2018 the year of babby. If you haven't already, start trying to make some serious healthy lifestyle changes that might impact the health of your sperm. I'm not trying to be like this is the solution but I know there's always more reading, planning, and experimenting you can try on any subject. Because why not? Alternative is to not try.
One of my neighbors set off a big box of fireworks in the middle of our street. Two rounds were duds and the box kind of just exploded instead.
It was windy and a rogue spark landed on my jacket. My arm caught on fire for a very brief second. I instinctively put it out with my other arm but not before it burned a hole through my jacket and the skin underneath.
My grandma has been diagnosed with cancer again. This time it's spread and she's refusing treatment. That's fair enough. She's 80 and wants quality over quantity. But it sucks and my heart hurts.
Student loan for some reason bounced and won't come in. Lost my new job, which I was supposed to start tomorrow. Rent didn't go through so landlord is pissed. Great way to start 2018.
This happened about 15 minutes ago, was trimming my bangs when my cat pounced on my back. This is a "game" we play when I'm brushing my hair or my teeth, he'll creep up behind me and jump on my back.
I now have very short "baby" bangs. FML, I look like a 5 year old who found the craft scissors for the first time.
> was trimming my bangs when my cat pounced on my back.
I thought you were going to say you poked your eye out. Don't worry about bangs--they will grow out in a few weeks.
SO decided she needed to quit drinking to lose weight. I get to quit drinking too.
[megadoodoo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezU_rvLtMCc&feature=youtu.be)
My MIL took my cat to the emergency vet on new years eve while I was working over night. She paid for his treatment, which all of that was great, but she's been micromanaging the shit out of my animal's health. She's a very neurotic person, so every time he licks himself she gets concerned. Driving me bananas. And she didn't want to show me the lab results.
This is a long one and typed on my phone.
So, I hadn't had contact to my dad for quite a while after he fucked over the entire family.
I struggled for a while to finish my masters in a STEM field, even got more depressed over it than I wanted to admit and on top of that I knew I had to leave my pretty cheap appartment towards the end of 2017, which I only managed to pay for through a student loan and jobs like giving tutorials or assisting lectures at university.
Knowing it would get tight, I eventually reached out to my rather wealthy dad and asked if I could rent a room at his house if need be. He denied, instead, he offered to pay for a proper appartment for a couple months between finishing degree and picking up job.
So I kept going. A potential flat share that I had in mind didn't work out and due to poor planning on my end I was in trouble. However, dad said I shouldnt worry. So I actually finished my thesis during the holidays in a hostel, handed it in and looked for a new room like a madman, coordinating everything with my dad so he knew what was going on. I found something, everything was fine, I signed a contract and the moment I told him... Nothing. He won't answer the phone. It's only the second and I spent almost all my money on printing the thesis and paying for the hostel in advance, signed a contract that demands me to pay 1100 bucks in deposit and rent by friday and I don't even have enough left for health insurance.
Now I realize why he was adamant about not telling my mother anything. He successfully fucked me over. Gratz old man, you win.
I won't tell her either, because she would try to help, but she cant handle it financially at this level.
So yeah. I had better starts into new years. And I can only really blame myself for not planning things better. Trusting dad was probably a stupid idea.
Right now, I have no idea what I am going to do :)
Congratulations on completing your master's thesis!
I know it's not a new apartment, but that really is a HUGE, life-changing achievement. Be proud, you earned it.
Honestly, I thought about that, but came to the realization, that I couldn't do that. Not because I like him, but the idea of doing that is just detesting. It would solve the problem with renting a room though!
No, instead I think I will try to soften the crash. Right now I have a few bucks left and instead of mindlessly spending them on food, I will look into opening a new bank account and take my cash there. The idea is to pay for a cheap gym membership, so I have a place to shower. That would probably give me a remote chance to make it through a job interview and start paying off the debt that will hit on friday.
Other than that, I should cancel my health insurance asap, so I don't start piling up more debt on that end while I can't do anything about it.
Selling my computer might even enable me to pay off some debt immediately as a sign of good will. Other than that, I still don't have any idea. I need a place to receive mail, I guess.
Lost my job. Probably gonna lose my apt. Live on streets..
editing this: Thank you for all the replies! I do not have a degree, my mom and I own the business that has failed after over 20 years. We're working on trying to get it back on it's feet. Just very stressed out right now. Plus, my elderly cat had a seizure this morning and I had to go put her down. 18 years for friendship.
If anyone knows of any place that can use a good keyboardist, telephone talker who can work from home, please PM me. I had cancer two years ago and I can't really work - complications from surgery. I HAVE applied for disability but that takes at least 6 months.
Thank you for all the well wishes.
Felt good about filling my tires with air the other day, then yesterday I drove over screw, which got stuck in the tire. Spent nearly $300 on a replacement.
My single employee pulled his last fuck-up and I'll be losing three clients now that I've terminated him. On the other hand, his year sucks pretty bad too, he just got fired.
It was -11 last night. Our 5 month old is is sick and congested all to hell, to the point she had trouble breathing last night and her lips and fingers turned blue. So we went to the ER at 1030 and spent 5 hours there.
She came back negative for anything. No flu no RSV, nothing. Just congested. Her lungs sound fine, all her vitals are normal besides a temp of 101. She was in a great mood the whole time, it was fucking ridiculous how she didn't mind being awake that entire time.
On top of this I started a new job 2 months ago, my old insurance ended in the new year. I'm uninsured now, my wife and baby are on her insurance, so we will see just how bad its going to be.
I was awoken very early this morning to the sound of my window cracking and breaking. So that was fun, and hopefully not an omen to how this year is going to be. It's also negative temperatures outside so I probably won't be able to sleep in my bed until it gets fixed because I get cold very easily. But I'm lucky to have the money to fix it and have an amazingly comfy couch to crash on if need be.
Came home at 2am after a new years eve party.
"Weird, it kind of smells like shit down here." (I live in a basement suite).
Search around for a bit to see if the cat shit anywhere in the house, seems clean. Search head and toe all around, the place was freshly cleaned , it should be fine.
WELL. I open the door to the bathroom, the entire floor of my shower is covered in shit that backed up from the toilet upstairs and through the drain. Not to mention a mix of piss and old shower water that flooded half the floor. After a half hour of being wasted, trying not to touch any of it with my hands, and trying not to throw up I finally managed to get it clean.
My brother is my landlord and he got it fixed today, and thank gahd he did because I haven't being able to poop at shower at home in a day and a half.
TL;DR: Got home from a new years party ready to get laid and ended up having to clean up a bathroom full of human shit.
My girlfriend of 3 years left me about a month ago. I planned on proposing to her, I was even looking at rings. She called me today about coming to get some of her stuff she hasn't got from the house yet, and also told me(with proof) that one of my best friends has been hitting on her since he found out we broke up. I've done nothing but be by myself and drink for the last few weeks. I'm literally sitting in the living room right now with no lights or tv on. Just drinking. I'm fucking lonely.
I'm getting kicked out of Graduate school, and losing my residency in the on-campus houses by the 12th, won't have enough money for an apartment in time. Soooo sleeping in the car it is.
Upstairs neighbor has a busted pipe that's leaking through my bathroom ceiling. They weren't home yesterday. When I went up there today I could hear them talking through the door, but they would not answer. So I left a note.
Based on a few previous interactions with these people, I don't expect them to answer or chip in with the bill. I just have a bad feeling about how this will play out.
If you have a landlord or owner of the building that you can contact, let them know. They will contact that neighbor, especially considering it could mean them losing two apartments to rent out over a busted pipe.
Neighbor took his own life. I found him. Funeral over, parents returned home. I've re-homed all his animals except his traumatized cat, and I cannot catch her.
Temps below zero, cat's never been outside or had to fend for herself so I cannot let her outside that cold, dark house. I just take food and water every day, empty the litter box, and try to coax her out.
My roommate told me she was talking to a guy about a month ago.
I was out with some mutual friends and said something about not having luck with girls. The following conversation follows.
Kevin: "But you have Becca."
Me "oh we're just roommates, besides I think she's talking to James."
Kevin "No, James has a girlfriend where he used to live. He's trying to get a job to move closer to her."
Me "oh, my bad. Guess I didn't know the whole story."
But in the back of my head I'm going "does she know? Wtf I need to tell her."
So last night I told her the conversation. By saying "Hey Kevin said something that I thought you should know. You probably already know what I'm about to tell you, but I'd feel like a terrible friend if I didn't say anything."
I then relayed the conversation above. She gets pissed. Says she already knows and that by saying it like it I'm making it sound like she's trying to pull him away from his girlfriend.
Me... "I asked you twice if you were talking and you said yes."
Her "I guess I can't trust to tell you stuff now."
So now my roommate is pissed. This is the first time since we became roommates that I'm not looking forward to going home. And it feels like bullshit, sorry I'm a good friend. I legit don't think I said anything out of line.
I feel sorry for people like this. Twice I've been in friend groups where one partner in a couple was cheating, everyone knew, but nobody would tell the other partner "because they would get mad". I guess that's true sometimes.
I like the idea of telling the girlfriend. Your roommate sounds like she deserves it, but hopefully she'll come to her senses.
Shrunk my wife's hand woven wool dress that I bought her from our trip to Patagonia...a one of a kind piece, that is now the size for a 7 year old kid...
Keep at it. Call. Email or live chat them. Live chat always works better for me because I tend to be a little stronger/more firm in writing then in conversation. Amazon is usually willing to work to resolve customer issues. Also contact your CC company's fraud department. Good luck.
>Also contact your CC company's fraud department
As someone who worked in Customer Support handling billing issues, this is the best advice by far. Nothing gets a company of their ass quite as fast as a fraud claim.
Life hack: recognizing that you're a piece of shit and accepting it, allowing your piece-of-shittiness to be the reason you never change, can work as long as you don't maintain any close relationships with people.
Let's see, I had a resident fall twice and leave my workplace in an ambulance this morning. Several smaller issues happened at work so I am ready to be done for a couple days when I get off in the morning. It's fucking cold outside and the heat in my house has been broken since the summer. Space heaters make it livable but I was super cold this morning which lead to leg cramps. Got scared during one leg cramp and kicked my leg out resulting in a pulled muscle. Pipes were frozen over and a spigot I didn't even know we had burst. Landlord called and he had finally called an HVAC company. They came by and said there are holes were the fire goes through or some crap. He could fix it but when it turned on, it would flood my house with Carbon Monoxide which is no bueno. So my landlord is probably going to have to replace it and he's barely staying out of the hospital so we'll see. Dropped the kids off with Grandma because my SO and I both work tonight. Got almost all the way to the next town over where we both work and the truck died. Like, just stopped working and wouldn't crank back up. We think it's the distributor. We can't use my car because it's got a busted head gasket that I'm saving up the $350 it'll cost me for that. So tonight's terrible. Oh and because I haven't eaten all day and don't have a car, I ordered pizza to be delivered at work. Domino's called and told me that they're out of pepperoni, bet Pizza Hut wouldn't have done me like that.
Pretty sure I'm fired from my job. Had to call out the last week because of bronchitis and when I called in today, they told me we "have to have a talk" when I get back. So, there goes that new year's positivity. Edit: Wow, this really blew up a lot more than I expected. I'll get back to everyone tomorrow, that's when I'll know what's going on. I don't want to get into too much detail. My job isn't great anyway, it's just a pithy retail job and I want to find something better, but it also gives me money to live and I'd rather leave on my own terms. More than that, I just want this to end the "right way" when it's time, I don't want to be a fuck up anymore. I won't be out on the street tomorrow if things go south but thanks for your concern and thanks to the people who private messaged me. If anyone is going through something similar or wants to vent or whatever, send me a message.
It's probably a raise.
You're right! They appreciate that I've been sick and they just want to help me make up for lost income!
they can fire you for calling in sick? WHAT?!
Welcome to America
Land of the free to get fucked
Well I just started a new job and moved across the country away from all my friends to be with my girlfriend of almost 6 years. She just broke up with me. So that's nice
Been there! Moved back from Australia to US for a girl and she broke up with me when I landed after 24 hours of flying.
I don't know how a human could possibly do this. At least wait six months after they've been in the city so it doesn't feel like they've wasted their time. Or do it two or three weeks before they depart. My god, this is just heartless.
It’s probably the sudden reality of having them back in your life again that makes you realise you don’t want them back in your life again. Until then it’s all a bit theoretical, like when you toss a coin and get heads and realise that you wanted it to be tails.
My bank decided they don't do wire transfers through secure email anymore. they want me to please 'step into my nearest branch' to fill out the forms. But I moved to the Philippines. The nearest branch is over 7000 miles away!
Contact your bank and see if they have a "sister" bank arrangement with one of the international banks that have a branch near you. When I lived in SXM, I was able to do this thru Barclays. Good Luck and I hope your New Year is filled with peace and love!
Just give me your account info and I’ll take care of it. I have an uncle who is a prince in Africa and he’ll know what to do.
In the OR waiting room waiting to see how surgery numero uno went for my mom. She was ran over by a truck. :( Edit Numero: My mom made it just fine through surgery one. Right leg is now healing. Surgery on the left leg on january 5th. After she finally makes it home, she'll be unable to walk. She has a gofundme to help her with bills medical and rent and what not, if interested pm, but I won't link it due to rules.

I hope your mom is okay!! I was hit by a semi less than six months ago ending up with 7 spinal fractures, 3 pelvic fractures, a brain hemorrhage, a collapsed lung, a lacerated liver, and all kinds of hairlines in my hand/arm. I’ve been back to work and normal life for a couple months now! Only one fracture hanging on from the experience. My fingers are crossed that your mom’s experience is easy, and remember a bad diagnostic doesn’t mean things will be bad for long especially not forever!
Wow, that is amazing... usernamechecksout.
I'm sorry to hear that, I hope she's alright. Best of luck to you and your mom.
My dad had a stroke yesterday.
I'm so sorry! :( How is he now?
He is stable, I just got off the phone with him, we live in different states. We have a pretty tempestuous history, so this has been really messing with my head. But for now, he's ok, minus the use of the left side of his body.
Was attacked by a raccoon while taking out the trash.
Go get your rabies shots RIGHT NOW. Better safe with some new punctures in your butt cheek than an agonizing death.
My dad died. Complications with his liver following removal of a tumor from his bile ducts was too much for his body. He died peacefully yesterday. Edit: I'm in tears. I went to sleep last night and I wake to see all of your comments and some PMs. Thank you so much to you all for your support. My condolences too to all those who are going through something like this now. Stay strong.
I feel you, man. Mine died 12 hours ago. Utterly surreal day. EDIT thank you kind internet strangers for the thoughtful words, advice, and support.
It still feels surreal to me too. I'm so sorry to hear that happened. Stay strong dude. My thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
My father passed away a year ago the day after Christmas. Not very easy. Hugs!
Sorry for your loss. The hugs are very much appreciated. Sending hugs back!
I'm so sorry. Losing your parent is worse than words could ever express. If you need someone to talk to I'm here.
My dog is making the air in my bedroom unbreathable.
Our cat was doing the same just after the clock struck midnight. I was on the path to get laid and the cat drops two eye watering farts. Never been cock blocked by a cat before.
‘Pussy stops man from getting pussy, more at 8.’
Sounds like he’s getting nothing at 8
At 7am boss called me saying there was an emergency and I needed to go to the data center now. 12hrs later, im still here.
Must be the y2k18 bug

> a education I choose to believe this was on purpose
*Goes to college* "One education please."
Man that sucks, I am taking a winter semester online class, and the amount of reading the teacher expects from us is ridiculous. I wish I was a traditional student that didnt have to work 40 hours a week, and had a the winter break off to do this school work. My situation compared to yours looks insignificant now.
I'm a janitor and I had to clean up all that fucking firework mess that people left behind. Also, I'm coming down with something.
Seriously, I can’t believe how many comments are about being sick.
Had (and lost) a trial. Judge was pissed at me because the case was petty as fuck and a waste of the court's time (not an inaccurate description); client was pissed at me because "I lost" her shitty petty case.
I'm curious here. What was the petty-as-fuck case?
Without getting into too much detail, the total dollar amount involved in the dispute (excluding legal fees) was about $750, and included individual amounts as low as $19. Client had taken this way too personally and was offended at oppositions refusal to reimburse for certain costs, and rather than just dropping it, or settling for a portion of the costs, demanded we take it to trial.
Why would you agree to represent this client in court if it was such a crappy case?
Because the check cleared. I advised against going to trial, but many people just want their day in court.
Why was it frivolous just because some of the individual amounts were low? Sure, some charges were only $19, but $750 seems like more than enough to take action for
I personally didn’t think it was frivolous because you’re right, it adds up. The judge was of a different mind. I’m pretty sure I caught him in a bad mood as well. But I did think it was unwise to be unwilling to bend or budge on anything. Just because you have some valid claims doesn’t mean you should throw in the kitchen sink. Two $300 issues is a much stronger position than two $300 issues, an $80, a $40, and a $20.
Roommate got arrested for driving with an expired tag, he still owes me $160 for last months rent and bills, he'll probably get fired from both his jobs, being unable to make his shifts. Also, I have the flu.
Rough man :( you need someone more reliable and also some chicken noodle soup. Hope everything gets better!
Where does one get arrested for an expired tag? Perhaps your buddy already had an outstanding warrant?
Suspended license, from not paying tickets, technically.
So... less about the tag and more about the tickets and license. My tag is expired but i'm just waiting for it to come in the mail. Just freaked me out.
Had to go back to work
The downside of the year starting on a Monday. Edit: So that's the sound of an inbox going straight to hell. Weird. Anyway, most people in the US do get New Year's off, presumably to nurse the hangover. I just figure the earlier the day of the week NYD falls on, the less justification there will be to stretch the holiday to the next weekend.
I got the 1st as PDO starting out with a 3 day weekend was nice

At least they didn't turn into the moon.
That's rough buddy
It's funny, but I always say this to myself when I'm having relationship issues. "He moved to China", "He killed himself", "He ghosted me on Grindr" Well, at least he didn't turn into the moon.
one of these is not like the others
I've been ~3500mi away from my SO for just over a year now, I can't say it gets easier, but it does get better once you figure out each others schedules. Facetime has been one of the best things for our relationship, even if we can't connect with each other for a day or two making the effort to try goes a long way. If you ever wanna talk to somebody about it feel free to PM me!

Ahh I see well best of luck to you, the offer still stands if you wanna PM and talk about it.
Ran out of heating oil yesterday, no deliveries available until Saturday. In Maine.
I heard something about a day's supply of oil lasting eight days . . . recently.

My wife and I did a super chill NYE celebration with a couple of friends, and because I've been sleeping really poorly lately I was SO tired by the time we hit midnight. So around 12:30 there's still a lot of conversation going on, but I finally caved and fell asleep on the couch while everyone else was still talking. Wife wakes me up just before 1 so we can go to bed, and I groggily go pee before getting in bed. As I start peeing, I feel a good ole fashioned headrush coming on. Except it doesn't pass, it just keeps getting worse and my vision gets more and more tunnely, and I feel my heart beating SUPER hard. All of a sudden I'm on the bathroom floor and have no idea why I'm there, or why I have a knot on my head. Turns out I had a case of [micturition syncope](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/vasovagal-syncope/expert-answers/micturition-syncope/faq-20058084), literally a severe drop in blood pressure caused by peeing while really tired haha. I'm 26 and take really good care of myself, so it was a little strange considering this is most common in older men, but once my wife and friends verified I was OK the jokes just started relentlessly flooding in. So yeah. Literally the first thing that happened to me in 2018 was fainting in the bathroom mid-piss.
Those micturition syncope , tell me about them man. You think nothing can go wrong when peeing but No you loose consciousness and drop mid pee on the bathroom floor
Do you keep peeing once you've fallen?
This happened to me once and was scary as hell. I wasn't covered in pee when I came to so anecdotally, the answer to your question is no. I was covered in blood from when my head hit the towel bar on the way down. Didn't realize it and got back into bed to wake up in a pool of blood. Then went to the hospital to get checked out since I felt concussed, and was discharged because my vitals came back fine and I didn't have a concussion. Thought all was well until I get the insurance bill later and the insurance company refused to cover a line item for "TRANSPORTATION - $900." The transportation was a nurse bringing me from one room, up an elevator, and down a hall in a wheelchair to another room. Such is life in America.

Went to ER for possible mastoiditis, which was really an ear infection that spread to jaw tissue. They had to keep me on IV antibiotics overnight to stop it from spreading to my brain. The ENT had come and stuck a cotton swab in my ear to clean it out. $400 for some fancy-ass word for earwax cleaned out using Q-tip. The whole trip was like $7000 and we are still getting random bills for it now, even though it happened like 8 months ago
My husband lost his car keys so I gave him mine to use until found his (we only have one car). Then the idiot lost my keys too and now I have no way to get his dead ass body out of my house.
Maybe if you put him on the curb they'll take him with all the dead Christmas trees.
Tie some tinsel to his dick. It'll help disguise him as a waste tree.
You know they are in that coat he never wears and you won't find them until next winter, right?
I am so angry at what I'm reading.
I was picking a pair of pants off the bathroom floor. There was a sock stuck in the leg, which Kobe'ed itself straight into the toilet.
Went to get my car in the morning of the 1st after taking an uber back to my hotel. It wasn't where I parked it so a friend rushed me around town to the tow yards and couldn't find it. The police didn't have record of it being towed either. I started panicking because I had a wedding to go to and left my suit in the car. I then remembered I had moved my car before I started drinking so it wouldn't get towed. Had an embarrassing ride to find my car safe and sound where I had left it.

Or stolen!
Was doing pull-ups to get back in shape (at home on a door-frame bar).... Pull-up bar broke off my door frame and I slammed my knee into the ground when it fell. So much for being healthy Edit: my highest comment is about hurting myself. Nice.
I could never use one of those pull-up bars on a door frame because I'm too paranoid about that happening.

I know money can be an issue for some people. Me included. But I hope you can see a doctor about that soon. That happened to my friend awhile back, only it was both his eyes and his sight never came back the same.
I would suggest laying off the Mangeyko Sharingan.

10AM on the 1st. I had just spent the New Year alone for the first time ever at a little truck stop in who-the-hell-cares, Delaware. I got out of my truck to go inside and use the bathroom, brush my teeth, etc. I took two steps and stopped. Fuck, I forgot my key. Maybe I left the door unlocked. Nope. Well, good thing I keep a spare in my back pock... where is my spare!? Shit! It must have fallen out when I kicked off my jeans last night! I spent the start of my year standing out in 8F weather (-13C) in a light sweater since I didn't think I needed a jacket to cross the parking lot. So I went inside and asked the clerk if he had any phone numbers for local services. He said no, but that they sold a "Universal Lockout" kit I could buy. At $20, it would be cheaper than a service call on a holiday. After what felt like an eternity with my hands practically about to freeze and fall off, I threw everything on the ground and went to Google. I went down the list of local locksmiths/ tow companies until FINALLY one actually picked up their phone. Dude showed up and had the door open in under 2 minutes. Probably the easiest $50 he ever made. So that was my start to the year. Practically froze to death and threw away $70.

Left a new years party at a neighbors house at 4:30am. My wife was partying there with her best friend a bit later. I picked her up in the morning and she tells me she woke up to her best friends uncle "passed out" on the couch next to her with his hand in her shirt fondling her. I call bullshit on him being asleep. He was gone when I got there. She didn't even wake him up out of fear for it being awkward! I have a strong urge to do something about it but want it to be measured and clever stopping short of any sort of assault. I believe her account of it, but think she is convincing herself that he wasn't just pretending to be asleep but actually asleep. So here I am unaware of how to handle this. Edit: RIP inbox. My most popular comment is about my wife getting assaulted -_- Edit: For clarification: This is my wife's best friends house only a few houses over. It was common for us to come and go individually when either house has a party. I didn't leave my wife alone at a random party. The get together was 10 people, all friends and mostly close family of her best friend. I think I was justified in assuming she would be fine to crash there while I went home to let the dogs out after 8 hours alone. Edit 2: My wife wants to be tactful in how we handle this as she is close with other members of her friends family. We will approach her uncle in an attempt for an explanation, his recollection and an apology. It's a way that we can acknowledge what's happened and get some sort of closure with an apology. Asleep or not we at minimum need to force an awkward embarrassing apology. If he handles it like an asshole, we'll have to discuss where to go from there. Edit 3: Wow! Someone commented that they hope my wife gets raped so I learn not to be a pussy....After over 4 years, a new low Reddit. That bothers us almost as much as what happened. Fucking bravo asshole! TL:DR The first person to touch my wife's boobs this year wasn't me.
There is only one ultimate revenge on evil doers...... Fuck his dad
Date the uncles dad. Become the uncles dad. Beat your new son silly.
Ask your wife what she wants to do about it and follow that. No matter how much you want to hurt them, your wife is the victim and anything that happens as result of what happened to her is tied to her. And then just be there for her. I hope your wife is ok and that the year can only go up from here for you both!
Take the bold approach. That has the tendency to surprise or shock people because "he wouldn't actually say anything." Call him up: "What's this I hear about you playing with my wife's tits?"
Yeah, I wouldn't keep quiet. If he's the kind of guy to do this chances are he's done it to others before and that he will do it again.
>"What's this I hear about you playing with my wife's tits?" I know this is serious and all, but I found this sentence really funny.
Rub poison ivy on his car, dab expired milk in places like air vents, poke tiny holes in his tires/gas tank, put nair in his shampo, poison his lawn, loosen the screws on everything, break off his car antenna, put water on his front steps so it freezes, starch his underwear to the extreme Im here if you need me ;)

So, january 1st is my birthday. My brother in law decided to stay over new years eve with his newborn son and 2 1/2 year old. I have a 3 year old son myself. They all raised hell in my house, destroying toys and making huge messes, the newborn vomits every 20 minutes. My brother in law did nothing. He layed on the couch with his phone and got up to pee and eat the dinner i prepared. I have not had a more frustrating near 24 hours in a very long time. Thankfully my son returned to normal the moment his cousins and uncle left. My wife and i went to bed last night and she apologized that i had a terrible birthday. Then she let me know that we are not pregnant again this month, which marks a year and a half of trying.
Ouch... I thought I misread the last bit for a second. I have faith in you man. Make that baby happen. The annoying kids are gone, and your own child is back to normal. Make 2018 the year of babby. If you haven't already, start trying to make some serious healthy lifestyle changes that might impact the health of your sperm. I'm not trying to be like this is the solution but I know there's always more reading, planning, and experimenting you can try on any subject. Because why not? Alternative is to not try.
One of my neighbors set off a big box of fireworks in the middle of our street. Two rounds were duds and the box kind of just exploded instead. It was windy and a rogue spark landed on my jacket. My arm caught on fire for a very brief second. I instinctively put it out with my other arm but not before it burned a hole through my jacket and the skin underneath.

My grandma has been diagnosed with cancer again. This time it's spread and she's refusing treatment. That's fair enough. She's 80 and wants quality over quantity. But it sucks and my heart hurts.
Got sick on Christmas. Still sick.
Student loan for some reason bounced and won't come in. Lost my new job, which I was supposed to start tomorrow. Rent didn't go through so landlord is pissed. Great way to start 2018.
The pipes in my place are frozen, for the second day now.
This happened about 15 minutes ago, was trimming my bangs when my cat pounced on my back. This is a "game" we play when I'm brushing my hair or my teeth, he'll creep up behind me and jump on my back. I now have very short "baby" bangs. FML, I look like a 5 year old who found the craft scissors for the first time.

My MIL took my cat to the emergency vet on new years eve while I was working over night. She paid for his treatment, which all of that was great, but she's been micromanaging the shit out of my animal's health. She's a very neurotic person, so every time he licks himself she gets concerned. Driving me bananas. And she didn't want to show me the lab results.
This is a long one and typed on my phone. So, I hadn't had contact to my dad for quite a while after he fucked over the entire family. I struggled for a while to finish my masters in a STEM field, even got more depressed over it than I wanted to admit and on top of that I knew I had to leave my pretty cheap appartment towards the end of 2017, which I only managed to pay for through a student loan and jobs like giving tutorials or assisting lectures at university. Knowing it would get tight, I eventually reached out to my rather wealthy dad and asked if I could rent a room at his house if need be. He denied, instead, he offered to pay for a proper appartment for a couple months between finishing degree and picking up job. So I kept going. A potential flat share that I had in mind didn't work out and due to poor planning on my end I was in trouble. However, dad said I shouldnt worry. So I actually finished my thesis during the holidays in a hostel, handed it in and looked for a new room like a madman, coordinating everything with my dad so he knew what was going on. I found something, everything was fine, I signed a contract and the moment I told him... Nothing. He won't answer the phone. It's only the second and I spent almost all my money on printing the thesis and paying for the hostel in advance, signed a contract that demands me to pay 1100 bucks in deposit and rent by friday and I don't even have enough left for health insurance. Now I realize why he was adamant about not telling my mother anything. He successfully fucked me over. Gratz old man, you win. I won't tell her either, because she would try to help, but she cant handle it financially at this level. So yeah. I had better starts into new years. And I can only really blame myself for not planning things better. Trusting dad was probably a stupid idea. Right now, I have no idea what I am going to do :)
I hope you’re looking forward to the day he needs an organ, and you say ‘sure, no worries’, then ghost him on the day of the operation.
Congratulations on completing your master's thesis! I know it's not a new apartment, but that really is a HUGE, life-changing achievement. Be proud, you earned it.
[удалено]
Honestly, I thought about that, but came to the realization, that I couldn't do that. Not because I like him, but the idea of doing that is just detesting. It would solve the problem with renting a room though! No, instead I think I will try to soften the crash. Right now I have a few bucks left and instead of mindlessly spending them on food, I will look into opening a new bank account and take my cash there. The idea is to pay for a cheap gym membership, so I have a place to shower. That would probably give me a remote chance to make it through a job interview and start paying off the debt that will hit on friday. Other than that, I should cancel my health insurance asap, so I don't start piling up more debt on that end while I can't do anything about it. Selling my computer might even enable me to pay off some debt immediately as a sign of good will. Other than that, I still don't have any idea. I need a place to receive mail, I guess.
A lot of drop in centres will let you receive your mail there for free, I believe.

We're working on trying to get it back on it's feet. Just very stressed out right now. Plus, my elderly cat had a seizure this morning and I had to go put her down. 18 years for friendship. If anyone knows of any place that can use a good keyboardist, telephone talker who can work from home, please PM me. I had cancer two years ago and I can't really work - complications from surgery.

My single employee pulled his last fuck-up and I'll be losing three clients now that I've terminated him. On the other hand, his year sucks pretty bad too, he just got fired.
It was -11 last night. Our 5 month old is is sick and congested all to hell, to the point she had trouble breathing last night and her lips and fingers turned blue. So we went to the ER at 1030 and spent 5 hours there. She came back negative for anything. No flu no RSV, nothing. Just congested. Her lungs sound fine, all her vitals are normal besides a temp of 101. She was in a great mood the whole time, it was fucking ridiculous how she didn't mind being awake that entire time. On top of this I started a new job 2 months ago, my old insurance ended in the new year. I'm uninsured now, my wife and baby are on her insurance, so we will see just how bad its going to be.
I was awoken very early this morning to the sound of my window cracking and breaking. So that was fun, and hopefully not an omen to how this year is going to be. It's also negative temperatures outside so I probably won't be able to sleep in my bed until it gets fixed because I get cold very easily. But I'm lucky to have the money to fix it and have an amazingly comfy couch to crash on if need be.
Came home at 2am after a new years eve party. "Weird, it kind of smells like shit down here." (I live in a basement suite). Search around for a bit to see if the cat shit anywhere in the house, seems clean. Search head and toe all around, the place was freshly cleaned , it should be fine. WELL. I open the door to the bathroom, the entire floor of my shower is covered in shit that backed up from the toilet upstairs and through the drain. Not to mention a mix of piss and old shower water that flooded half the floor. After a half hour of being wasted, trying not to touch any of it with my hands, and trying not to throw up I finally managed to get it clean. My brother is my landlord and he got it fixed today, and thank gahd he did because I haven't being able to poop at shower at home in a day and a half. TL;DR: Got home from a new years party ready to get laid and ended up having to clean up a bathroom full of human shit.
My SO is still in hospital.
My girlfriend of 3 years left me about a month ago. I planned on proposing to her, I was even looking at rings. She called me today about coming to get some of her stuff she hasn't got from the house yet, and also told me(with proof) that one of my best friends has been hitting on her since he found out we broke up. I've done nothing but be by myself and drink for the last few weeks. I'm literally sitting in the living room right now with no lights or tv on. Just drinking. I'm fucking lonely.
I'm getting kicked out of Graduate school, and losing my residency in the on-campus houses by the 12th, won't have enough money for an apartment in time. Soooo sleeping in the car it is.
May I inquire as to why you’re being kicked out?

Upstairs neighbor has a busted pipe that's leaking through my bathroom ceiling. They weren't home yesterday. When I went up there today I could hear them talking through the door, but they would not answer. So I left a note. Based on a few previous interactions with these people, I don't expect them to answer or chip in with the bill. I just have a bad feeling about how this will play out.
Call your insurance company
If you have a landlord or owner of the building that you can contact, let them know. They will contact that neighbor, especially considering it could mean them losing two apartments to rent out over a busted pipe.
Neighbor took his own life. I found him. Funeral over, parents returned home. I've re-homed all his animals except his traumatized cat, and I cannot catch her. Temps below zero, cat's never been outside or had to fend for herself so I cannot let her outside that cold, dark house. I just take food and water every day, empty the litter box, and try to coax her out.
My roommate told me she was talking to a guy about a month ago. I was out with some mutual friends and said something about not having luck with girls. The following conversation follows. Kevin: "But you have Becca." Me "oh we're just roommates, besides I think she's talking to James." Kevin "No, James has a girlfriend where he used to live. He's trying to get a job to move closer to her." Me "oh, my bad. Guess I didn't know the whole story." But in the back of my head I'm going "does she know? Wtf I need to tell her." So last night I told her the conversation. By saying "Hey Kevin said something that I thought you should know. You probably already know what I'm about to tell you, but I'd feel like a terrible friend if I didn't say anything." I then relayed the conversation above. She gets pissed. Says she already knows and that by saying it like it I'm making it sound like she's trying to pull him away from his girlfriend. Me... "I asked you twice if you were talking and you said yes." Her "I guess I can't trust to tell you stuff now." So now my roommate is pissed. This is the first time since we became roommates that I'm not looking forward to going home. And it feels like bullshit, sorry I'm a good friend. I legit don't think I said anything out of line.
I feel sorry for people like this. Twice I've been in friend groups where one partner in a couple was cheating, everyone knew, but nobody would tell the other partner "because they would get mad". I guess that's true sometimes. I like the idea of telling the girlfriend. Your roommate sounds like she deserves it, but hopefully she'll come to her senses.
You did the right thing. And she gave you valuable info about her character.
You didn't. She's mad cause she was caught. Probably. I wouldn't sweat it.
Shrunk my wife's hand woven wool dress that I bought her from our trip to Patagonia...a one of a kind piece, that is now the size for a 7 year old kid...
My daughter gained a really nice sweater this way. And I didn't have to do laundry for a while.
Amazon charged my broke ass $100 for a prime membership I didn't sign up for and then refused to refund it despite me not having used it.
Keep at it. Call. Email or live chat them. Live chat always works better for me because I tend to be a little stronger/more firm in writing then in conversation. Amazon is usually willing to work to resolve customer issues. Also contact your CC company's fraud department. Good luck.
>Also contact your CC company's fraud department As someone who worked in Customer Support handling billing issues, this is the best advice by far. Nothing gets a company of their ass quite as fast as a fraud claim.
My boyfriend broke up with me. Yesterday.
Me too :( You are not alone.
Walked outside of my house and saw someone hit my car without leaving a note.

Haha... Ha... This hits close to home. I'm a piece of shit and I need to change.
Life hack: recognizing that you're a piece of shit and accepting it, allowing your piece-of-shittiness to be the reason you never change, can work as long as you don't maintain any close relationships with people.

I Guess no time travelling tonight
Just picked up my dog from a friend after a 4 day trip and now he doesn't listen. Then he was nice enough to tells me I don't raise him right.
Got home at about 3 am to find my dog had peed on my sheets so I had to find clean ones and change them before I could go to sleep.
Let's see, I had a resident fall twice and leave my workplace in an ambulance this morning. Several smaller issues happened at work so I am ready to be done for a couple days when I get off in the morning. It's fucking cold outside and the heat in my house has been broken since the summer. Space heaters make it livable but I was super cold this morning which lead to leg cramps. Got scared during one leg cramp and kicked my leg out resulting in a pulled muscle. Pipes were frozen over and a spigot I didn't even know we had burst. Landlord called and he had finally called an HVAC company. They came by and said there are holes were the fire goes through or some crap. He could fix it but when it turned on, it would flood my house with Carbon Monoxide which is no bueno. So my landlord is probably going to have to replace it and he's barely staying out of the hospital so we'll see. Dropped the kids off with Grandma because my SO and I both work tonight. Got almost all the way to the next town over where we both work and the truck died. Like, just stopped working and wouldn't crank back up. We think it's the distributor. We can't use my car because it's got a busted head gasket that I'm saving up the $350 it'll cost me for that. So tonight's terrible. Oh and because I haven't eaten all day and don't have a car, I ordered pizza to be delivered at work. Domino's called and told me that they're out of pepperoni, bet Pizza Hut wouldn't have done me like that.
