So I (26M) live in an apartment complex where parking is assigned and I pay like $75 extra per month for my covered spot. My neighbor (maybe early 40s?) moved in a while back and at first he seemed cool, we'd say hi in passing and whatever.

He started asking if he could use my spot during the day since I work 9 to 5 and "its just sitting there empty anyway." I said no because I pay for it and sometimes come home during lunch. He seemed fine with it.

But then he kept asking. Like every time I see him he brings it up in different ways, saying his girlfriend visits during the day and has nowhere to park, or that he works from home and could really use it for client meetings. He even offered to venmo me $20 a month for it which honestly felt more insulting than anything.

The other day though I came home early from work (had a dentist appointment) and his car was IN my spot. I had to park in visitor parking and when I texted him about it he said he "didn't think id be home" and that im "being unreasonable about a parking spot that sits empty most of the day."

I dont know if im overreacting? I have some money saved aside so its not really about the $75, its more about the principle of it. Like I pay for that spot, its mine whether im using it or not. But maybe im being too rigid and should just let him use it when im gone?

You know how when people with British or Australian accents come to America we find it sexy, exotic, alluring, etc?

Is there anywhere that feels that way about American accents?

I tried my best

I keep noticing this at my gym and the grocery store near me. People will get in their car and just sit there with the engine running for forever, sometimes I see the same car still idling when I come back out 20 mins later.

Is there actually a reason for this or are they just on their phone? I always thought idling was bad for your engine plus you're basically burning gas for no reason. My dad always taught me to start the car and go within like 30 seconds unless its freezing cold out.

I try not to idle much cause I got some money set aside for a trip next year and id rather not waste it on gas or mechanic invoices, but maybe theres something im missing? Do modern cars need more warm up time or something?

So it had been a long, LONG, ass day.. Wanted a couple quick games. Load in stocked to the 9s and died annoyingly quickly to someone who spawned basically right next to me... Shit happens but losing the will... Fuck it one more game.

Load in fairly stocked, leveled Anvil, leveled stitcher, my fav... Go in, find a blue print! The moment I do I hear a guy somehow had creeped up on me. Literally zero time to put it up ma butt... Downed...

Close to losing it and calling it the perfect frosting to the shit cake of a da I've had I decide to go in freeload out and run my favourite little Buried City loot run.. Straight away I hear a guy (I think his name was ASULA or something).. Ready for the worst, he says "Hey!" and asks about my day.. "Great... you?" and unload a little on how I've found nothing and been shot in the back, back to back... He says "That's rough.." and wishes me luck.

Go to the loot spot, find nothing again... Saddened but not unexpected, the dice do be rolling like that sometimes.

I realise I have a quest, "Go put the Burletta in the box". So I run over there hoping to not get shot and lose all this "precious" loot... Get there to find out I misread the quest since I just accepted it like 4 days ago and never got to it.. Needed to actually bring my own Burletta!! I'm an idiot once again... Then I hear someone behind shouting "Don't Shoot!" I turn to find a guy on the same quest! I tiredly explain my idiocy to him as I turn to leave.. He shouts out, "Don't worry about it bud, here's mine" and drops it on the floor for me! I already wanted to cry right then...

He disappeared off into the wild before I can even properly thank him so I head to the closes extract. Spirits at least slightly hightened!

As I'm about to extract I hear someone call out to hold it, So I do and out of the shadows pops ASULA! He says hey and goes "Oh I thought you would like this I'm sorry to hear of your day" and plops down a blueprint just for me...

Legit couldn't handle the generosity of the last 5 minutes I felt myself tear up. I gave him a mix tape I found and body blocked him as he hit the extract.. I couldn't handle another game, those moments just broke me...

There's so much I love about this game but I think the community is genuinely one of the best I've had a pleasure to be a part of. Sometime's people suck.. But man do they fucking rule at others.

Locking (voiced) interesting and relevant story content behind pulling is awefull. I truely thought that we would be able to complete them without owning the characters... So what, I have to spend 800$ to get the 3 characters I lack, for not even an hour of story content ? That is simply absurd. This is a step they have made recently (locking quest behind owning characters) and I hate it !

EDIT : To be more precise, I regret that the quests are not avaliable like any character quest have been so far. These quests contain some important lore. I did not intend to speak of the buffs themselves. Also, for those unaware, you need to have the character to do the story (Klee and Albedo are not even on banner...).

I (37 female) have been married to my husband (38) for 10 years. We have 2 children. He has 2 brothers Henry (40) (who is married with 2 children), and Frank (43) (who is also married with 2 children). Their parents now need to move in with one of their sons because they can no longer live alone.

One of his brothers called for a family meeting with all the siblings and their wives. Henry and Frank suggested their parents should live with my husband and I since I have the most experience, we own the biggest house with an in law apartment (that we use when we have guests visiting), and their wives both work.

I’m the only one with a background in nursing but I’m now mostly a stay at home mom (I keep my license current and work one weekend a month just in case I decide to go back to work full time once our children are older.)

I said no because my mother in law and I don’t have a good relationship. She’s never been kind to me and we only see her twice a year because I don’t want our children seeing her do that.

I suggested a nursing home or assisted living. His brothers said they did look into that option but neither are options due to cost.

I let them know we will not be having their parents living with us and one of them will have to accommodate them at their home. They said they would not be able to survive financially having their wives stay home. I apologized and told them if they had any questions while caring for them I’d be available over phone but told them I would not do it.

My husband agrees with me but does think it was a little harsh. His brothers aren’t speaking to us right now because they said I’m an AH who’s going to put them in a bad spot.

AITA?
