Is this the real world? A guy was complaining he can't afford a monthly metro pass or power strip - Hotkiss Jun 12, 06:19 16
- Yup. People have messed up priorities. Trying to live "the lifestyle" is such bullshit. -- nm - lileve Jun 12, 06:22 14
  - "I can't pay you the rent because I went on vacation and put it on the credit card and I need to pay it off." - lileve Jun 12, 06:23 13
    - Pay dad rent??? -- nm - Stacy Jun 12, 06:28 12
      - uh, lots of people pay rent to their parents. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:29 8
        
        my parents would rather pay for us to live elsewhere. Although at the present time I pay my own rent, cant say the same for my bro's family. -- nm - Stacy Jun 12, 06:33 4
        
        It's awesome that your parent's have the ability to help their kids out, as they see fit. - ty97 Jun 12, 06:35 1
        
        I know, true. -- nm - Stacy Jun 12, 06:37
        
        I'd sleep in my car first. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:33 1
        
        I've thought about that, but I really dont want cat hair all over my car. -- nm - Stacy Jun 12, 06:36
        
        yeah, but i'd probably throw my kid out if he/she couldn't pay rent for that reason.. -- nm - colin Jun 12, 06:33 2
        
        I agree. If they are working and their income provides them with the rent then there is no excuse not to pay. -- nm - lileve Jun 12, 06:34
        
        hell yes. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:34
      - Not me, his tenants in NY when we lived there. -- nm - lileve Jun 12, 06:29 2

sonofa....I just bought "Call of Duty 4" on Wednesday from Amazon for $34.99, and now it's on sale for $29.99. Does Amazon do anything about the - JaxSean Jun 12, 05:47 10
- Has it been shipped yet? I bought something and they changed the price, I contacted them and they dropped the price. - lileve Jun 12, 06:12 4
  - I ordered it on Tuesday, and it shipped Wednesday. I should be receiving it today. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 12, 06:22 1
    - Hrm. Call 1-866-216-1072 and see what you can do. -- nm - lileve Jun 12, 06:24
  - Yeah, they're pretty good about adjusting if it drops from the time you purchase til the time it enters shipping. You just have to ask, usually. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 12, 06:14 1
    - Yes. Then one item arrived opened and taped up. I called the call center... - lileve Jun 12, 06:18
- No, not unless it hasn't been released yet (pre-sale). -- nm - Don Homer Jun 12, 05:48 3
  - has this changed recently? -- nm - crabs love mandy lane Jun 12, 05:56 2
    - Yes. Maybe about half a year ago, I think. Now it's just a "pre-order price guarantee". -- nm - Don Homer Jun 12, 05:58 1
      - I've had them do that automatically sometimes, which is nice. (I just emailed them - we'll see what they say.) Thanks! -- nm - JaxSean Jun 12, 06:01
- email them. I've done it. -- nm - crabs love mandy lane Jun 12, 05:47
There is a cute boy at work but I don't want to end up like my cow orker who was f'd (literally and figuratively) by a jerk we work with. - Hotkiss Jun 12, 05:20 63
- It's going out for a drink, what's the worst that could happen? - znufrii Jun 12, 06:13 38
  - is this how all of your relationships started? That's not exactly a recommendation. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:30 1
    - touche -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 06:33
  - Rohypnol-carrying rapist/serial killer probably ranks in the Top 5 wort possibilities. - ty97 Jun 12, 06:21 1
    - [deleted]
  - People will talk, he might spread lies. Who knows. -- nm - lileve Jun 12, 06:19 17
    - Ignore that post, I was confused. Sorry. -- nm - lileve Jun 12, 06:30
    - and is that really so bad? -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 06:26 6
      - It would kinda suck. But if you put walls up to protect yourself from all of the possible pains, you risk making yourself a hermit. - ty97 Jun 12, 06:29 5
        
        More than anything, I'm afraid poor gossip would hurt my reputation among the higher bosses and threaten my job. -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 12, 06:31 4
        
        that's legit, but dating one guy won't hurt you. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:32 3
        
        and going out for a social drink with a guy even less so. -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 06:33 2
        
        dude, it's a date. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:34 1
        
        the guy probably hopes it will turn into one, but a drink in and of itself is not a date. -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 06:37
    - For real? I honestly can't tell if this post is serious or not. -- nm - Jim Jun 12, 06:25 8
      - I miss understood. Sorry. -- nm - lileve Jun 12, 06:28
      - I've been trying to come up with an appropriate response for a few minutes now, and just couldn't think of one. -- nm - kelly Jun 12, 06:27 1
        
        I miss understood. Sorry. -- nm - lileve Jun 12, 06:28
      - A guy in the office spreads gossip about a girl. Then askes hk to go out with him. What else do you think is going to happen?! -- nm - lileve Jun 12, 06:26 4
        
        No no, mine is a different guy. -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 12, 06:26 3
        
        Oh ok. I'm sorry I was confused. If he's nice go for it. -- nm - lileve Jun 12, 06:28
        
        then feel good that the other girl got the jerk she deserved and have a great time. -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 06:28 1
        
        Exactly. -- nm - lileve Jun 12, 06:29
  - the worst? random gas line explosion that destroys 6 city blocks. - Andie Jun 12, 06:17 15
    - hee! -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:29
    - energy wave that eradicates all life in North America -- nm - Roger More Jun 12, 06:19 11
      - Immediate death is hardly the "worst" from a personal point of view, I think. -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 06:22 3
        
        fwiw - the energy wave would melt all forms of life into a gray-green goo, through an incredibly painful process -- nm - Roger More Jun 12, 06:27 1
        
        oh, in that case, yeah, that would probably be the worst... - znufrii Jun 12, 06:32
        
        did you get a 'doesn't play well with others' note on all your report cards? - Andie Jun 12, 06:24
      - well, i guess if we are really truly going for *worst*, the planet could be struck by a giant asteroid and explode into oblivion. - Andie Jun 12, 06:21 6
        
        Or they might stop at the supermarket on the way home and the guy could block the aisle with his cart. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 12, 06:29 3
        
        He's clearly an asshole with no purpose in life. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:31
        
        that's unspeakable. -- nm - Andie Jun 12, 06:29 1
        
        only if he also gives people dirty looks when they try and get around him. -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 06:30
        
        Or... there could be a problem with the space-time continuum and the entire universe could collapse into a singularity - Roger More Jun 12, 06:26 1
        
        and..... Scene! -- nm - Andie Jun 12, 06:28
    - But that's possible whether or not she has a drink... -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 06:18 1
      - I'm guessing you haven't seen the Final Destination movies. - Roger More Jun 12, 06:19
- Don't do it. -- nm - lileve Jun 12, 06:12
- if you want to go, go. if you don't want to do something that will make you look bad, don't do those things. - Andie Jun 12, 06:09 2
  - haha i like the "they're all just jealous!" line -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 12, 06:13 1
    - *shrug*, it's sort of true, boring people don't get talked about, truly interesting people do what they want and don't care. - Andie Jun 12, 06:16
- If you want to be sure that you won't end up like your coworker, don't go. Don't do anything. Stay home all the time - Guigue Jun 12, 05:41 2
  - If you never act you will live in the world of "what ifs". -- nm - Stacy Jun 12, 06:19
  - this is a brilliant post. A+! -- nm - crabs love mandy lane Jun 12, 05:56
- Really? You have to ask this? If you want to go...go. If you don't...don't. nm -- nm - Jim Jun 12, 05:30
- the drink? sure. the date? depends. Don't jump into bed with him. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 05:27 15
  - agreed -- nm - Stacy Jun 12, 05:31
  - Wouldn't getting a drink be lightly considered a date? And what if I ask him to see Food Inc with me? -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 12, 05:28 13
    - Do what you want. If he wants to join you, it's his decision. - nubby Jun 12, 05:48
    - you can go out for drinks and have it not be a date. It depends on your intention. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 05:34
    - do you want it to be a date? what do *you* want? -- nm - crabs love mandy lane Jun 12, 05:32 10
      - Also...isn't it possible to go on a date and NOT - Jim Jun 12, 05:39 9
        
        *blank look* Whaaaaaaa? nm - ralph wiggum Jun 12, 05:43 8
        
        Hello, wiggums. I hereby declare us to be on a date. - nubby Jun 12, 05:47 7
        
        You can't just declare we're on a date. You at least have to procure a bottle of peppermint schnapps or something. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 12, 05:50 5
        
        does he have to present it to you? -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:33
        
        I'm sorry, but Appeal of Date Declaration forms must be filed within 120 seconds of original declaration. -- nm - Australia Passport and Date Declaration Office Jun 12, 05:52 3
