Anyone who can speak a second language will tell you how beneficial it is to have that ability. While there are many ways one can take advantage of speaking another language, one benefit triumphs them all – being able to talk freely about whatever you want in public and having no one understand you. When I was 19, I got to spend a year abroad with 3 of my best friends. We all speak a fairly uncommon language other than English, so we'd use that language as our main source of communication among…

Who here hasn't considered selling their car at least once because of all the headache that comes with the burden of owning a car? Not only is it extremely expensive, with gas, insurance, and car treatments, but car issues are probably one of the most annoying and inconvenient things that any car owner has the misfortune of dealing with. Setting aside the money you have to pay to actually get your car fixed, you then have to physically separate from your car while it is at the mechanic for who-…

A person's relationship with the people they work with can be tricky to handle. On the one hand, despite seeing them every day, those people are not really your friends, they are simply… people you see every day. On the other hand, and stay with me on this one, these are people you see every day , so you might want to be on good terms with them, and not create an awkward situation at the office. That is why I understand this employee's initial instinct to be kind to his coworkers by offering th…

'It quite frankly startled and unsettled several of your neighbors'

At a busy intersection, a driver experienced an encounter that could only be described as classic "Karen" behavior. While waiting at a stoplight, the driver suddenly found themselves facing a woman in the car next to them who was visibly fuming. Without any provocation, she began yelling, accusing the driver of painting their truck to copy her car—because they both happened to be the same Hot Chili Pepper Red color.

Winning on a technicality never felt so good

Great managers empower their employees, while bad managers like this just try to bring them down a notch. It's a fact of life, and one that this person found out while they were still a teenager. This person worked as a technician at the automotive department of a chain store. At just 18 years old, they were relegated to some of the easier car tasks. That included things like “maintenance checks like wiper fluid and tire pressure, easy stuff,” u/MrTyroneTheCat explained. After you check out thi…

Can a car dealer haggle a price with a teenager? This car dealer barely even tried, as u/rattlesnake501 explained. It can be really tricky to know how to negotiate a car deal. There are various different websites that can tell you how much the car should be worth based on its age, mileage, and other factors, like if it's been in a crash. But just because you show up to the dealership with these facts in hand, doesn't mean that the car dealer will actually agree with you. If your paperwork says…

Nobody knows how many things need to go into consideration when buying a new car before they actually have to do it themselves for the first time.

For example – Getting the car inspected. Before you buy your first car, most people will tell you that you shouldn't rely on the inspection your car dealership performs and that you s…

Those who are prone to road rage are capable of creating real messy situations for themselves and the people around them. Although we all feel the anger bubbling inside us whenever we are stuck in traffic, or can't find a parking spot, some people tend to give in to that anger and let it consume them, and that can be pretty dangerous. Take the woman in this Reddit story for example, after letting her anger get the best of her, she was willing to push a stranger with her car just so she could pa…

This 1965 Ford Mustang may never drive, but it's my passion project

This dude decided to buy a car part used, but it seems like he has zero idea what he's actually doing. Getting used car parts from a junkyard or an auto salvage can be a great way to save a few dollars. A lot of car enthusiasts do this routinely to save money. Next up, these employees shared the biggest, most outrageous mistakes they've ever made in the workplace, like one person who mixed some cleaning chemicals togehter, meaning “[We] had to evacuate the restaurant .”

If you're crafty enough, you'd never let something like a boot on your car's tire stop you. You'll have to have a devil-may-care attitude, plus access to some pretty powerful tools. This person knows that all too well, as they shared in a story to the r/AmItheA****** subreddit. Putting a boot on someone's car is no laughing matter. Instead of writing a ticket or even snapping a photo of the license plate to report to officials, this HOA decided to stop this dude from driving ! Now he wouldn't b…

Traveling for work is a way of life in many careers. Jobs often tell you this when you apply for the role, specifying what percentage of the time you'll be on the road. For many workers, this setup is a great way to see a little bit of the world, or just keep them from getting bored of their hometown. This person, u/Bibby_M, has a great setup with their job. Though they live about 38 miles from their job, they only live about 5 miles from the nearest airport. That means that even though they tr…

It's pretty common knowledge that you shouldn't totally trust someone who is trying to sell you something. Even if they seem genuine and hold what they consider to be your best interests at heart, at the end of the day, they're still there to do the job of making sure you walk out with an item in your hand. Out of the sheer bias of the situation, they're not going to tell you to walk away empty-handed if they don't have the exact right product in stock. Of course, this is in the best-intended i…
