You’d probably ding your legs up jumping from a second floor, but that’s better than the alternative.

Does anyone have buyer’s remorse? I wanna love this car, but honestly I hate it so so so so god drat much. Lol. I Don’t have a home charging station and It’s such a burden to get it charged up. A whole day must be dedicated to driving to various locations and waiting and people are unbelievably rude and half the machines don’t work. Does anyone else feel this way or am I the only one? Feels like no one will admit this car isn’t 100% pure sunshine. If only one other person tells me they hate it, then I’ll feel better and move on.

(Private message me if you’re afraid of the hive.)

Edit: hive is out in full force with unnecessary comments that do nothing for the thread and topic of discourse. The question clearly states that I have buyer’s remorse and I’m asking if anyone else does. If you don’t, then no offense...but move on. Lol. This doesn’t concern you.! Your impulse to comment is gross and it’s obvious you jump at the opportunity to flex your perceived skills of superiority on the road and behind the keyboard. See, this is why no one likes BMW owners, even other bmw owners. Ha!

Honestly , one person already agreed with me that charging stations can be a bitch. That’s all I needed. The rest of you are seeking to mend your own wounds by festering within mine. Like, gross. Go pick at your own scab. I was already pretty brazen to say I had buyer’s remorse in some jackoff subreddit dedicated to the drat car. now I need a chorus of people asking why I bought the car? Nope. You’re done. Go sit down somewhere.

(P.s. Please read my comments with a sense humor... you know, that human quality some of you lack).

If you're planning to buy an electric car, wouldn't it be pertinent to bring an electrician in and install a charging station at your house/in your garage assuming you weren't renting?

If not, wouldn't it be better not to buy an electric car if you knew charging was going to be a huge hassle?

Well it's better if you can charge it somewhere that you don't pay for electricity, but yeah, it's pretty weird to buy the car without something in mind.

i (27f) just found out my best freind (27f) drunkenly kissed my husband (27m) of 2 years at our super bowl party last night. View this as a Drunken mistske or do I go nuclear? Relationships (self.relationships)

quote:

this post actually starts on Thursday when my best friend "Claire" was dumped by her BF whom she thought was her soul mate. Claire was as crushed as I've ever seen her and was essentially drunk Friday, Saturday and waking up Sunday at our house.

I had to get ready for our party and she said she'd stay to help but before I even had wings in the oven, she had gone through a bottle and half of skinny girl. She napped a little of it off in the afternoon but started hitting the booze again hard as people began to arrive.

Football bores the crap out of me so most of my friends sat in the other room and watched stranger things while Claire hung out with the guys. We started to hear rumors that she was telling all the guys how she's "damaged goods" and "easy picking for anyone that wanted some" that night. I guess she was really annoying them so my husband walked her down the long hallway between the living room and the den. Claire quickly passed out and is still asleep on the couch in the den. I fell asleep before the game was over so I didn't see anyone out. I thought it ended here but...

My husband just told me that as they were walking down the hall Claire grabbed him and kissed him deeply. He refused but she said something like "I've always loved you and wanted you for me...please." Then my husband walked her into the den where the story leaves off from the previous paragraph. He said he told me because he wants everything to be on the table between us.

I'm crushed that she would do this, we've been friends for almost 20 years and she knows that nothing would break my heart more than the man I love cheating on me. At the same time, I know she was drunk, I know she's an irrational drunk and I know she's very broken hearted.

What do I do about this?

tl;dr: Best friend drunkenly kissed my husband last night.

Never forgive, never forget, OP. Destroy her life.

The correct solution is to have the husband contact her and tell her that he too also has deep feelings for her and that he thinks they are meant to be together forever and that she is the one. Then set up a secret rendezvous at a hotel and tell her that a key is waiting for at the front desk. Then he and his wife and some of their mutual friends all hide in the room and when she opens the door they all jump out like a surprise party but the surprise is she is a dirty whore who tried to steal someone's husband and everyone knows it now. They could even get those letter balloons that spell out whore. Then record the whole thing and monetize it on YouTube.

BF (29M) jokes about my (25F) suicide attempt

quote:

I have been dating a guy for about a year and opened up to him about my attempted suicide after I was kicked out of pharmacy​ school. I later find out, from him, that he had been joking about it to his friends and saying "Gymandpuppies couldn't​ even kill herself properly so obviously she shouldn't be doing pharmacy​". It was a huge joke to him and he told me that I was too sensitive because I started crying when I found out. He made the joke a few more times but eventually stopped.

I'm suddenly very bitter about it and I've been too embarrassed to actually talk to anyone about it. What are your opinions on the situation, Reddit? Does this scream Deal Breaker or was I really being too sensitive?

Yeah this is kind of what I was thinking. I doubt anything about the situation had to do with the husband specifically, regardless of what she said in the (drunken) moment.

The comments are nearly half-half split between drunken mistake/I would get crazy wasted and do weird poo poo and ‘she planned it! Don’t trust that snake!’

Oddly enough, nobody’s saying ‘well, letting a depressed upset girl go on a several day bender was probably a poor choice’. But if I learned anything, bringing up problematic drinking is one of those things people tend to shy away from to avoid confrontation

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

I (M29) was humbled by my boss (M24) at work because of my height

quote:

I work at a tech startup owned by two brothers. The younger brother is office manager and in charge of, among other things, disbursing paychecks. This is my boss.

Now this guy (let’s call him “Chad” because that is his stereotype) got his job more through nepotism than interest or skill in software. He likes to joke a lot and can be pretty overwhelming. He’s friendly with most people in the office and they go out for drinks often after work but I’m usually not invited, but it’s fine because the S.O. prefers me not to drink.

This past Friday (our payday) Chad was handing out the paychecks straight from our office accountant. When he came around to my workstation he said “Hey Frank, here’s your check” and held it out to me. I reached out to take it and he lifted it above his head, knowing I couldn’t reach it (I’m 5’7”, he’s 6’3” maybe). I got out of my chair and humored him a little by trying to jump for it, he started laughing and after a few jump attempts he dropped the check on my desk and walked away laughing. A couple of other people in the office were laughing too.

I was really embarrassed and I’m not sure how to proceed. The owners are blood related and there isn’t some sort of corporate structure I could make appeals to since this is an indie startup. I need this job and don’t want to rock the boat, but I want to feel respected at work. What do I do?

TL;DR: My boss is publicly making fun of me for being short

Family business, non-blood will always be 2nd class and held to totally different standards. If this was some corporate environment that would be a fairly slam dunk hostile workplace issue, but in a family business the non-blood employee will always lose.
