Do I need replace the battrey?

The phone is working well but lately I've been needing to charge it in the middle of the day. At around 2-3 pm it gets to 30% after full work-day usage and I need to top it up to atleast 80% to get me through the day completely.

Earlier it used to be that I'd get maybe 15% at 10 pm which was manageable.

I checked and found this -

mSavedBatteryAsoc: [87]

1333688

mSavedBatteryUsage: [124440]

1333689

I have been using this phone since June, 2024. I was thinking to squeeze out maybe one more year out of it.

AITA for asking neighbour to write "Ground Floor" on their property?

Hello, all.

(Changing the specifics for privacy/safety)

Apologies for the long post.

So, we live in Standalone house in Delhi without lift/slit. We own the TOP 3 floors. There is a separate family living on the ground floor. Let's call them Sharmas. Let's call us Duttas.

The family below moved during Covid times and soon after, for their name plate, they installed something with their name and the house number. They did not mention the floor, as if they own the whole building.

Let's say the house number is 55. They installed the name plate saying - Sharma's/ 55 while they only own the ground floor.

Now, for the first few weeks, that entitlement bothered me but I never pointed it out. Life went on for years.

Consequently for some years now, the delivery guys bringing our orders just read 55 in hurry and ring their bell even though the order explicitly mentions the first floor.

Not all of the deliver guys, maybe 5% ring incorrectly. Most of them are good, they call in advance. I go to pick up.

For sometime, (the audacity) the Sharma's kept asking me to write "1st floor, 2nd floor" on the staircase-gate whenever this delivery-mishap happened.

For the first few times, I said we'll see but a small part of me started enjoying the fruit they were getting for their entitlement.

I think this happened because of the design that our bells were located on the farther end of the gate. And theirs is located right under their Name plate.

So it is more visible.

I should point out that we have considered adding a name plate a few times since then just never prioritized it.

Now, last night, an ShadowFax person did something similar.

He rang the bell for ground floor which says "55", the aunty came out. She asked him to ring our bell instead. While I came out, she was annoyed and asked "Yaarr, tum likhwa lo na. Yeh humesha humari ghanti bajate rehte hain."

This time I said very laughingly, almost apologetically - "Aunty, it's your house that says 55. If it also said, 'Ground Floor' no one would ring it."

She went in, no arguments or anything.

2-3 hours later, I noticed that she had taken a black permanent marker and written "55, 1st floor" right next to our gate. In horrible handwriting no less.

Now this bothered me immensely. What audacity and entitlement do you have to write anything on some one else's property? Who gave you the right?

If what you did is right, can I write "GROUND FLOOR" across your entire gate with spray paint?

When I noticed, I rang her bell and she came out. I told her very respectfully but with annoyance that "You should write in front of your house that it's ground floor, not mine."

All polite. No raised voices. No gaali.

Since then, I have spray painted over what she had written. And written 1-2-3 in front of house-bells.

My sister says I did the "Gandhighiri" move by painting over what they had written.

These were the things I wanted to do but I didn't;

Remove their bell. So that none of my delivery guys ring it.
Write with white Spray paint "Ground Floor" on their black painted Iron gate
Issue some porn magazines services in their son's name for "Sharma's/55"
Throw some raw corn below their car for rats.
Keep some maize out on the ledge for pegions to eat and poop in front of their hosue.

Am I the asshole here?

I feel they are being too entitled for something they don't own and its been bothering me more than it should, I guess.

Update on the Room. Made a few changes.

https://www.reddit.com/r/interiordesignsindia/s/ZpXIudtn2B

Sometime ago I made a post asking for updates and many of you assisted. Thanks for that.

(Ignore the stool, It's just there because I was fixing the shelf)

We made the following changes;

The Alcove shelf now completely covers the wall. Added shutters on the loft part. One of the shutters ply got torn while making a hole to open and we didn't have spare wood so .. We'll live with it.
Added lights on the ceiling. Cylinder Surface lights.
Increased the size of the quater chaukhat to fit 0.8 ton ac. Room is 8x10 so, it JUST works. Enough for someone to sleep overnight.
Added a proper lamp instead of a makeshift one for my workstation.
Painted the room a much darker blue with the limewash technique from Pinterest. Went with Blue Bolt + Elegant Ocean from Dulux velvet finish.

Just wanted to share with all you.

Thanks for the ideas and support, fam. :)

Cheers.

Bobcard Etihad Guest Premium - wtf are these exclusions?

Hi, all.

I recently got myself a Bobcard Etihad for their 15000 Etihad Guest miles promotion till 30th June, 2026.

However, those miles will only get activated once I make a 25k transaction within first 60 days and pay 5k (+900 gst) fees on the card.

First transaction on the card should give Etihad Silver status.

First transaction on Etihad.com should give Etihad gold status.

That's alright, pretty straightforward.

What's bothering me is the number of exclusions. Is this normal??

Apparently I can get miles on Jewellery. Even then, this card only gives 2 miles per 100 rs. I may be able to get more from my Atlas.

I feel like I may have been too hasty and prime duck-customer for the bank to get this card.

Need ideas for renovating this room

Hello, all.

I am looking for some guidance for this room in our house.

Context: This Room(8x10) is primarily a home-office with a book-case. This is also one of the first rooms to enter into when coming from outside and primary holder for all the footware of the house across 3 Shoe-Cabinets and 1 coat-hanger along with a shoe racks.

This is also we keep our Helmets, Gym Bags.

Additionally, this also houses a small Day-bed which can unfold into a Queen-Bed (5x6) for guests in winters when AC is not needed.

This room gets little to no Natural Light, it's set inside from a deep balcony and then a staircase.

Requirement :

Looking for ideas/inspiration for the followinh.

Wall Paint. We really need to change this. It's beginning to look tacky.

Right now, it's same as it had started in early 2000s. It has only been repainted. We are happy with having a Blue room but not this tone.

I thought a darker shade might add a little mood to it but its already small and does not recieve much natural light. What should we do?

There's no ambient lighting in the room. It's either a make shift lamp or a tubelight. We are thinking about getting false-ceiling done to accomodate some down-lighting or perhaps some cover lighting as well.

Any ideas for other sources of light? Perhaps a wall lamp or something for the study table?

We'll probably accomodate a window AC which can be easily removed in Winter months. Is that a good idea? Split AC is not an option as there's no way to accomodate the outdoor unit anywhere.

We are thinking to add some shutters on top of the book shelf to cover up the boxes and the mess.

Any ideas or inspirations are appreciated.

Huge thanks for reading all this. :)

Review on 3 seater comfort on backseat

Initial post - https://www.reddit.com/r/HondaElevate/s/0O3UXvP4Yw

IT WORKS!!!

And comfortably so.

We had an outing last weekend where the car was full of 5 people and I got a chance to sit in the rear middle seat as well as rear side seat. For a good 40-45 minutes on both seats.

The modification worked wonders!! The support at the back of the bum, side-thigh support for the middle, side-thigh support for the side-seat - IT JUST WORKS!!!

% wise - if earlier sitting in the rear-middle felt like a reduction in comfort at 50%,

Now the comfort is at 85% and above.

Comfort at the side-seat is at full 100%.

Will definitely recommend.

I am 5'8" and if you're slightly taller, you're still going to find issues with under thigh support but we don't face this issue that much.

I found this interesting so I thought I'd share this here.

So, turns out that like all the other cars in India, Elevate is also based on the Honda's global Small Car Platform which has been in production since 1999.

The foot rest elevation for the rear passengers is there because the fuel tank is placed there. Which has been the same for Jazz, WRV, almost all Honda Citys - it has never been more than 40 liters.

With space under the rear seat, they were able to make Jazz's Magic seat and carve out space for hybrid equipment under the back seat.

However, there haas been a new PF2 platform under the works which will be starting off with new gen Honda City, set to launch in the few weeks***** Edit - Set to launch in 2028. The current launch is a facelift, based on same platform.

There, they have placed the fuel tank under the rear seats only indicating a possible increase upto 60 liters.

I may get a lot of hate for this so I am setting some context - Recently our family of 5 went to a long-ish road trip including highways, bad roads and 65-75 km of windy hills. During that, I got to sit in the middle and I realised it's actually horrible after 45 minutes. Specially the base.

I came back and got an idea from one of the comments in this Sub where a customer had their rear seat modified by the dealer themselves during the time of purchase. I checked with dealer near me and they said they don't do it. So I went to Karol Bagh instead where they manufacture seat covers.

They took out the seat, undid the leather/fabric and after a few tries, we got to a piece of HD32 foam placed on the hip portions of the base of the seat. Check the photo.

They put the cover back on. There is a slight loose-ness in the middle seat at the back now but it's practically unnoticable unless you look closely.

The comfort is MUCH better now. The seat is flatter, Even on the sides.

The best part? You can barely tell by looking. The bump in the middle is somewhat leveled with the foam so while sitting it's less pronounced. The risen edges on the sides are also more leveled.

And another best part? The foam is not pasted. In a couple of years/months, if this is not useful - this can be removed just as easily.

I do admit that it's not the neatest job because the leather itself was very fitted. But if it fares better in the long run, I think I'll be okay with it.

Let me know your thoughts.

Edit - I paid 1250 rs for this.
