Edit:non-cdl but big I’m not a truck driver. I’m just an operations manager for a small company. I’ve only been working there for a month, and I’ve already relocated for the job ahead of my wife and kids. This is only the second time I’ve ever driven a big (non-cdl) reefer truck. The first time, my employer asked me to drive across town to pick up a pallet of product. This time, my employer had promised that we’d have product delivered to the airport early in the morning. He hadn’t booked a truck and was desperate to get it there. The airport is 1 hour and 45 minutes away. Well, he finally asked me if I’d do it, and I reluctantly said yes. I have absolutely zero truck-driving training and know nothing about driving these things. I made it to the airport, but when I was leaving, I missed my turn. My GPS routed me in a different direction. I was just cruising along when, all of a sudden, I felt a huge lurch. I had driven under a train bridge, and it quite literally ripped the top ...

God I am such an idiot. So I'm in Croatia for vacation, and I'm staying at a hostel. Well, first day I come in I realise my bunkmate is this really pretty girl. I figure what the hell, maybe at some point I'll talk to her, but I planned my trip a bit too much and I really didn't have a lot of spare time until today. I was supposed to go to a tour of the Plitvice National Parks, and well, it was at 7 in the morning. I wake up, and I see the girl is also awake and we accidentally almost collide have an awkward laugh but that is about it. I don't think more of it, until I see our travel group and I see a really familiar face. I'm certain this is the same girl, but I think well clearly it cannot be that big of a coincidence right, so I think meh, maybe I misremember. Turns out towards the end of the tour, we head towards the same place, and we run into each other in our room, and well have the weird hello and smiles yet again. I figure what the hell, maybe n...

Today my best friend was over at my place. We were just talking and he intertwined our hands, said "sometimes i wonder how would it be to date you." While leaning down on me. So i kissed him. He pulled back with a shocked face and went home not so long after. Its been a week, we still hangout without adressing it but its a bit awkward. I dont think i did something wrong, he started it . Yet i still feel guilty. We are both boys. I dont like him but i wouldnt say no to dating him. I tried to open that topic yesterday but he just dodged it. I dont know what to do now. I wanna clear things but he doesnt want to i think. As if he isnt the one who approached first. I wish i just laughed it off. Why did he even say that in the first place. And if he didnt like that, why is he still talking to me? TL;DR:Our 'friendship' is now awkward and i dont know what to do.

This Is my first post ever (YAY!) so please be nice. So, this may be weird but bear with me okay….For the past few months, I haven’t been chewing gum since my mother hates chewing gum so I haven’t had any in ages and instead had what I think to be Arabic gum. It’s looks like little rocks and they feel hard and then you bite into them and keep chewing and it becomes chewing gum. I’m pretty sure it’s Arabic gum, nothing is labelled in our house so I blame that for my uncertainty. Ethnic household, shocker! Why I like this Arabic gum is unbeknownst to me. Genuinely. I will be honest and say it does not taste good. My brother tried it and he spat it out after like a minute of polite chewing when my grandma offered it to him. I do not like the taste either, it is objectively not nice at first, but there’s something about the taste that’s not nice that makes it so good. Almost addictive even. I crave it day and night. I wake up wanting to have it. I go home and beeline to the cupboard w...

I have a chest freezer in my garage. A few days ago I was cleaning my car and needed the outlet for my shop vac, so I unplugged the freezer. Finished cleaning, put everything away and went inside. Four days later I opened the garage and smelled something weird. Then I noticed the freezer wasn't making any noise. The plug was still sitting on the floor. I opened it and everything was thawed. Chicken, ground beef, frozen meals, everything. I'd walked past that freezer multiple times since unplugging it and never noticed. Spent the evening throwing everything out and cleaning the bottom of the freezer. It's plugged back in now. I put a piece of tape over the outlet that says FREEZER so I don't do this again. TL;DR: Unplugged my chest freezer to vacuum my car, forgot to plug it back in and remembered four days later after everything had thawed.

BIG TRIGGER WARNING FOR MEDICAL STUFF! So, obligatory "this didn't happen today" but rather a few days ago, but I'm still shaken up by it. Background info: I (26 NB) have stubborn acne that I'm trying to get rid of but haven't seen a dermatologist about yet, so I just deal with it myself. One specific type of acne that I get is very deep and VERY easily spread, so they kinda stay dormant after I try to remove them despite the cleaning and cream. I got one of these in the back of my earlobe, which hurt like hell and I removed what I could like usual and it went dormant again. Cut to a few days ago and it feels itchy, I check the mirror and yup, it's ready to be taken care of. I figured "hey, since this one is on a thin piece of skin and not my cheek or chin, maybe I can remove it fully!" So I clean it up, take a before picture, and get to removing. WARNING, THIS PARAGRAPH IS GRAPHIC! I gently puncture the top layer of skin (sideways, s...
