And then its mostly the sugar loving you up, though drinking more than ~500 mg of coffee caffeine a day is not really recommended.

There are also sugar free versions. My point is most energy drinks aren't some Extreme product that will ruin your health unless you really go overboard on them. They're no different from coffee, soda, or any other caffeinated beverage.

Monster: 36 mg of caffeine per 100 ml
Coffee: 40mg of caffeine per 100ml.

Basically it is like having a glass of Cola with some instant coffee dissolved in it (which is the best energy drink btw). The real trick is they market the 500ml can as "2 servings" but everybody just drinks the entire can.

He's going to find something out about me that stinks.

quote:

I (30f) met a great guy (40m) about 6 months ago when he was in my city for work. He is here a 4/5 nights a month and we usually have dinner and wine, great sex at his hotel, and then I go home. He always asks me to stay over but I don't because I have a small child at home. It's a fun fwb thing and we genuinely enjoy being together.

He is taking me on a ski trip next week. A gorgeous suite, slopeside for 3 nights. I'm really excited, we have had a blast planning this, and are both looking forward to having more time together.

Here is the problem, Reddit. I fart when I'm falling asleep. Not a small one, either. I usually wake up to myself farting. There's no avoiding this. We will be in bed after a great day of skiing, wining and dining, having fantastic sex and then it's going to happen. I'm going to be in that weird state between awake and asleep and I'm going to let one rip and promptly die of embarrassment. Then it's going to happen first thing in the morning and at night for the rest of our trip.

What's the etiquette here? Do I warn the poor dude on our way to the lodge? Excuse myself politely and act like nbd. Pretend I'm asleep and this is not happening? Borrow a dog, bring it, and blame it? So much fart anxiety. What is the done thing here? Realistically he's a great guy and logically I know he won't make it a big deal, so how do I stop making it a big deal?

Tldr: my fwb is going to hear me fart in bed

Yes I understand that I wasn't allowed to make modifications to my apt, and that is in the lease and that's why I'm charged, but are they legally allowed to take the bidet in question and another one that was just stored that I never installed? This seems like stealing to me. It never says in my lease that they are allowed to take my things like that

My boss forged my signature and opened up a 401k in my name. He is the guarantor. I found out about it on accident.

I do medical billing at a doctors office part time. I was sorting my papers as usual one morning when I came across something with my name on it. It had an account number and stated life insurance. I honestly thought it was a life insurance policy on myself and he was going to kill me or waiting for me to die.

I called the company it was through. Turns out it’s a retirement fund. He’s the guarantor. I wasn’t able to find out any other information unless I get his consent. The operator did state that it’s impossible for me to have not known about this account because I would of had to sign for it. I’ve worked there for over 7 years and have never signed anything about a 401k. My check stubs do not show a 401k.

I am certain I wasn’t supposed to find this. My boss is a pretty big douche for forging my signature and storing money in my name. I’m still not sure how it’ll benefit him. Some say he could cash it out after 7 years after i left. I don’t want to lose my job but I’d like my money. Or our money. Or can I even do anything about this. It can’t be legal.

Oh and multiple employee names were on there and they have never heard anything about a 401k. Our job doesn’t even offer insurance or paid holidays or anything that would help or benefit us.

(Edit: was wrong here re: employer 401k contributions reducing taxable income)

You also don't need a guarantor for a 401k loan because you are borrowing your own money. No credit history or co-signer needed. The OP doesn't understand what they're talking about but should look into it. It's probably mundane though:

I’ve worked there for over 7 years and have never signed anything about a 401k. My check stubs do not show a 401k.

I work with some doctors who have Profit Sharing Plans. I'm guessing they signed it while starting the job and had no idea. It's easier for a doctor's office with less than 10 employees to manage retirement funds in a single account managed by an Advisor rather than have individual 401ks.

Closest explanation I've seen on the Reddit thread is that it's a deferred income scheme. He takes the tax advantages for his business with giving significant employer 401k contributions and then reclaims them years later when the employee leaves and never claims the funds because they were never aware of them.
