I’ve had OneMain for a little u see a year because I needed a loan to fix my cars engine and they were the only option I had left. Since then it’s been a miserable experience. I told them when I signed for the loan about my paycheck schedule and they told me it would be no problem, I get paid on Fridays and I don’t have direct deposit. But if my payment is due on a Thursday they call me at 4:30 same day to ask when I’m making a payment.

I explained time and time again about my paycheck schedule and I tell them they’ll get a payment on Friday. But every month without fail it’s the same conversation and I don’t know how to explain it to them any other way.

Does/ did anyone else have this experience with either their own bank or with the same place.

I’m looking for new book recommendations. I’ve read Stephan King, Cormac McCarthy, Donald Ray Pollock, Andy Weir,Stephen Graham Jones.

I enjoy Western set stories (yes I know about Lonesome Dove) horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and classic works. Im also looking for more non fiction books, I enjoy documentaries but sometimes I just want more information.

Any recommendations would be appreciated

I wasn’t sure how to phrase it but the first option 9/10 times that I go out to eat is what alcohol is on special or that they offer like a speciality drink. My partner and I seldom drink but it’s annoying and frankly kind of embarrassing to say you want a coke after the server tries to upsell you on alcohol.

And then you have people who can’t function or go to an event/party without drinking. Mt partner had a coworker who from the day they turned 21 has been perpetually drunk and getting wasted on a nightly basis, and this has turned me off from drinking almost entirely. I often base what places/ functions I go to if alcohol is gonna be there, I don’t discourage people from participating but I just always feel childish not drinking with them.

Does anyone else feel the same way?

*Disclosure* I share this account with my partner, he has full knowledge about this post and agreed to share it.

I 24f have a friend 24f I’ll call her A, and she is still friends with someone who is a RSO (I hope that’s okay to put), I’ll use W for him. The only reason I know that A still talks to W is because we had a girls night with another friend and I brought up how it was scary that W got arrested because we all went to High School together. After a beat A said “well he didn’t do anything”. I was taken aback and asked what she meant. She said that “ W was innocent and was framed. The only reason he’s where he is is because of his race.” I decided to just drop it after and our other friend changed the conversation and the night went on.

When I got home I asked my partner if what she said was true and he said that it wasn’t. We live in PA and we are allowed to view court cases and get information. He showed me transcripts, docket information and got got any other information he could grab, and more recently W was convicted and is now a Tier 3 offender. He asked why I was looking into it and I told him what A had said. He told me to “Drop her, anyone who defends a person like that is no good.” The problem is I don’t want to lose A, she is among the last few friends from school I have and I have a hard time making new ones that aren’t from work. Is there a way to talk to her, I don’t want to force her to change her mind but I also can’t feel comfortable knowing that she defends W and that they hang out frequently. My partner said “if it were only allegations it be different, but now he’s been convicted and is on the registry.”

Is there a way to talk to her or should I stop being her friend?

A few years back I posted an AITA about my ex and my family, particularly my mother. Kind of to be expected I wasn’t deemed one but after a few years i figured I come back for more.

So, my family (my mother and sister mostly) still talk, visit and spend time with my ex from time to time. This month my mother and sister are going to visit my ex to celebrate her kids first birthday. Now, my partner and I were invited but we declined due to us moving and generally not having money to go and also it’s my ex. My ex and I aren’t on bad terms, things ended like most relationships and we moved on but my family hasn’t. My mother says that we need to just “get along because we’re all adults here” yeah, adults who used to date and now have completely separate lives.

At this point I find it’s easier just to nod my head and just let it go whenever she’s brought up and my partner is in the same boat where whether I like it or not she’s still here.

Am I over reacting in general, do other people have this issue?

I’ll tag the previous AITA story here so there’s more information: https://www.reddit.com/r/AITA\_Relationships/s/I2YgGmuxob

I don’t understand how people can love seafood so much. Stuff like oysters, crab and lobster never seem pleasant to me, and shrimp is definitely an overrated food. And fish just often than not always smells like it’s already bad. Can someone explain their reasoning behind why they love it?

I 26M work in food service at a small restaurant (not a chain) and I occasionally get fast food once or twice a week depending on my schedule and if I meal prep ahead of time. There’s been serval times that when I ordered and picked up my food it’s been wrong. Items are either missing or made wrong and if I have the strength I’ll go in and ask that it be made correctly. Normally I’m not that guy who complains to get free food, because since I work in that field, it’s annoying but I also know mistakes are possible.
The past two weeks have been what makes me question who works at these places. On a Sunday I went to McDonald’s to pickup food for me and my partner and after the irritation that’s the McDonalds app I ordered the food and had it for drive through pick up. When I get the window the guy there asks me about the food and I said that I was the mobile order pickup and have my name. I got my drinks then a few minutes later got a bag of food. Knowing my normal order the bag felt wrong and it was wrong. I went inside and said I’m missing my order the person asked what items I was missing I said the whole order. They remade the order because it was already given out to the guys order I had. Then this past Sunday (Mother’s day) I placed an order to Taco Bell for 8pm, when my shift was over. I already had a feeling that they made the order when they got it because why not and when I got there around 8:15 they asked why I placed the order 3 hours before. I said no, it was a pickup for 8, but they said they made the food when it came in and rattled off how since normally people don’t order ahead they don’t read that stuff but they eventually remade it.
When I got home I ranted to my partner because it’s getting kinda ridiculous how many times this year and especially this month I’ve had to correct people on what was wrong.
Like I said I also work foodservice and have since I was 16 and I too make a mistake but I can usually correct it before food goes out. I never worked fast food so it might be different but am I overreacting or is this somehow normal?

In the US (Obviously) in Pennsylvania, and every time I go on the road there’s something new that either angers or frustrates me. Firstly the consistently changing speed limits, I generally don’t speed or if I do it’s “to keep up with the flow” but even then it can go from 55MPH to 35MPH back to 55MPH within a quarter mile stretch. On the same topic of speeding, people are too safe with themselves to speed to an outrageous amount. Unless on the turnpike, the highest speed limit is 55MPH but 90% of the people are going no slower than 90-100MPH or at least that’s what it feels like. There will be times I’m going 70MPH on the left lane and someone is still tailgating me. Second thing, consistent construction everywhere but there’s no actual work going on. Where I live it took our city almost 10 years to build a bridge that connects not even 1/8th of a mile and when it was done it was celebrated and praised as if it didn’t take a decade to do. Now the state is working on expanding certain highways, this project has been going on for probably about a decade as well and they rebuilt parts of the same highway before the expansion. The last major thing is the bright LED headlights in lifted trucks driven by teenagers and man children who buy their camo pants from the local Walmart. Driving home at night is torture because these people drive up to your bumper with their lights shining brighter than the atom bomb because they want to go to the Walmart and local gas stations and be nuisances.
Kind of long, sorry but these are generally was tick me off about driving and honestly I debate whether I actually need to have a license or not because sometimes it all becomes a massive headache.

This is about myself 26M and my partner 24F

For context I started posting recently because I mainly used my account to look up general information about video games, movies etc. around Christmas I made a post and after my phone was getting repaired so I logged onto my account using my partners phone to see what people were saying. After that I never logged out and seeing how I rarely used it up until recently I didn’t think much of it.

After a while I made more posts for general advice and I showed my partner to gauge conversation and work on our problems. My partner wanted to make her own posts about me but she wasn’t sure if she could because of how strict certain communities can be so she asked if she could do it under my account. I said yeah and showed her how to structure a post and she made her own.

Under one of this posts someone referenced the “multiple perspectives” and asked if this was a troll account. So my partner commented that we share it and people immediately tore into it. They screamed red flags but that’s not how it started. In a separate thread my partner said that I had no problem sharing my devices or details about them and that’s true, I’ve never felt the need to shield or hide anything for any reason. We share the account and have some general rules like, 24hr minimum before the other person could see the post, we tell the other we are posting, and that whatever the outcome we talk and communicate after. I felt these were reasonable and so far they work. Maybe I’m wrong and we should use separate accounts but for the time being this is how it has worked, should we operate on separate accounts?
