Title. This past weekend, I sold a pair of “BRIMNES” nightstands (via Facebook marketplace) that I’d previously picked up from IKEA years back. Girlfriend and I were selling them to be replaced by a more thematically appropriate pair. Anyway, prior to selling them off, mine respectively was used to hold a bunch of miscellaneous shit: Papers, art supplies, and of course: This bottle of Trojan lube for accessibility purposes, and as such it remained even after being cleaned out for sale. I figured why not? It can stay in there until they’re sold. It’s also worth noting that I never attached the wheels to either stand and opted instead to keep them in their provided drawers. As a result, whenever I moved them, I’d hear a gentle ‘thud’ that I assumed was the collectively packaged wheels shifting. So, day comes for pickup, I load them into the buyer’s car and she drives off. No problem. I offered for her to test the drawers beforehand but she voiced her good faith in my ad details and...

The car I drives tags expired in November and I haven’t been able to afford the repairs to get the check engine light off so it won’t pass the echeck (requirement for my county) I have the 300$ ticket plus court on friday and i’m really stressed out about getting it paid and getting my cars tags back in good order. The officer said that I am required to show up for the court so obviously I will be going to that but I really don’t know what to expect. Could I face more trouble for my car still being expired and how long do I have to pay off the ticket? my bank account is literally in the negatives. is it more important to get the ticket paid off or get the car fixed and tags renewed? is there a way to get the car cheaply repaired or do enough to pass an echeck?? TL;DR - court for speeding ticket, tags expired, check engine light on. don’t know why problem to fix first

Oh reddit, I'm so mortified! I'm at work hiding in my office with my brain replaying the interaction. I know this is one of those moments that every so often my brain is going to throw at me... Remember when you accidentally kissed that guy on the lips? Background: I'm a university lecturer and part of my role is outreach, going into communities or having school groups come to campus. I'm currently part of a team running a program targeting Māori students in hopes of encouraging more Māori to enter STEM. Over the past few weeks I've met with various teachers and parents, and I had another meeting this morning. I arrived, met the teacher who I already knew and then went to meet some other people. Now for those unfamiliar with Māori culture we have a greeting called a hongi, where you press your nose against the nose of the person you're greeting. But since covid less people do it with strangers. As a female a cheek kiss has become more common and that's wh...

Hi there! Just for quick context, I (16f) and my friend, who we’re gonna call Emma (fake name for obvious reasons), also 16f, are both huge fans of Korean boy group BTS. Now the thing is, I own a lot of their albums and she doesn’t. We both own Jung Kook’s solo album and both only got one photo card (this is unusual because it’s supposed to contain two). I bought the Dark&Wild Album a while ago (before we met) and it didn’t have one group photo card but two, the same one twice. It has to be a mistake made while putting the album together because this one’s actually supposed to only contain one group photo card and one member photo card (I got two group photo cards with the same image and one member photo card). I always considered the second accidental photo card as the universe’s way of apologising for scamming me with Jung Kook’s solo album. I didn’t need the same photo card twice, so I put one in my memory box, I wanted something BTS themed in it. (I have accumulated a few othe...

Я сожалею, что отвергла парня 2 года назад, который мог подарить мне хорошее будущее. Вместо этого я выбрала обычного парня, который мне нравился очень давно. За мной ухаживал очень хороший парень с работы, который давал понять, что он хочет и может подарить мне весь мир. Но в это же время друзья познокомили меня с другим парням, говоря что он больше мне подходит. С этим мнениям я согласилась и продолжила общения только с одним парням. Спустя год отношений я забеременела, родила сына и выяснилось, что этот мудак мне постоянно изменял и как итог я осталась одна, поскольку после рождения ребёнка он решил, что я выглежу неважно. И через время женился на другой и находится у жены на иждивении, чтобы не платить алименты. За этот год я влезла в большие долги, чтобы обеспечивать необходимым себя и ребёнка. Верю, что в будущем все наладится. Но! Сейчас я жалею о своём выборе, особенно когда ежемесячно приходят новые платяжи и нужно постоянно перезанимать, чтобы оплатить прошлые и я понимаю,...

Today I had my first "real adult" moment that turned into a total nightmare for my social anxiety. I had an appointment with an ENT specialist. This was the first time I ever arranged a medical appointment, handled the insurance papers, and went all by myself without a parent. I was so focused on making sure the insurance papers were filled out correctly that my brain just... deleted the "payment" step. The receptionist was busy talking to another patient, she handed me my papers, and I just walked out. I didn't even realise I hadn't paid until I was standing in the pharmacy 30 minutes later. The moment I realised, I went into a full panic. I felt like a criminal. I spent the next hour calling the office repeatedly, but they were probably on a lunch break. When the receptionist finally answered, she sounded so cold and angry. She told me the doctor might not even see me again because of "what I did." Later that evening, she called me back again ...
