This is a little too close to home. I sold my hyper reliable Civic to buy a V8 BMW that went on to take up a diet of oil rather than gas.

This is exactly what an ex-coworker did last year. He was "asking me for advice" but really he was just bragging about how he was going to get the BMW. I told him that the Civic will give him a 3 year warranty, much lower insurance, and cost probably 50% less in gas. He was sort of shocked that I didn't just high-five him and shout "sick bro", and got a bit defensive. By the end of the school year, he had nearly put 1/2 the initial purchase price into the car in parts and labour. He figured out that the dealership was not the best place to take it to (charging more for labour than most places), and went to another garage that told him (after giving it a good inspection) that they figured whoever owned the car previously fancied them-self a race car driver, and had done their best to leave the car on the verge of destruction. Cosmetically it looked great, but the abuse the suspension, brakes, transmission and engine had taken had drastically shortened the lifespan of the car.

They even guessed that the dealership (knowing all of this before buying it) probably paid in the previous owner $7,000-9,000 for it since most of the major components were on their last legs. The only way that we even heard about this was that the coworker was bragging that he was going to sue the dealership and get a brand new M3. Naturally nothing care of it since he essentially signed a contract that said, "we'll sell you this car worth tens of thousands of dollars" as is.

not even gonna bother formatting this in ITT prose, but I know way too many people from highschool who tried saving their abusive and/or unhappy relationships with a child or two. or doubling down on a partner they really aren't compatible with and marrying them.

it's happened so often and ends the exact same way each time, I really have to wonder if they think "it'll be different with us" or if its just some sort of legitimately depressing denial tactic.

I have a 2003 Civic and that thing is going strong on 160K miles. Those things are crazy! The guy probably wanted a BMW because it would make him look cooler. Joke's on him, everyone thinks BMW owners are douchebags.

I loving hate this job, I loving hate my boss, I'm just going to go right up to him and say I quit. It'll be fine, I'll take a week or two off, then start looking for something new. I bet I could have an even better job in like a month.

I did this, but with the key distinction of having a year's worth of mortgage payments and expenses. Took several months, not one, to find something better, but on balance it was one of the more satisfying things I've ever done.

But content from my younger, dumber self:

Living in this small town is boring! I'm gonna burn all my bridges here and get a new job in New York City! I'll get paid so much more it'll easily outweigh the costs.

This Xiaomi phone runs the same apps as that thousand dollar iPhone or Samsung and it’s only thirty bucks, so it’s a no-brainer. And I don’t have to go to the mall, I can buy it right here at this gas station.

I’m sure KTNT Wireless is just as reliable as the other guys so I’m sure I’ll get my important calls like several prospective employers that I just interviewed with or as my mom’s only emergency contact who has fragile hips and is prone to falling and getting stuck on the floor. It says it’s Ultra3G+ up to 10x faster than dial up* so it’ll be fine for YouTube which I need to help me fix my 2007 BMW so I can make it to dialysis tomorrow, I’m already a couple days late and if I miss it again my doctor says I’ll never leave the hospital.

Had a former coworker with this phone who had to battle the insurance company about switching out the insulin pump she needed. Constantly complained that the insurance rep was "hanging up on her". Then her boyfriend and family started "hanging up on her". It stopped playing music correctly through headphones and started playing through the internal speaker only. That one was the fault of Pandora or Spotify or the album ripper, I don't recall that excuse.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

I met this really cute girl at the strip club a month ago. She says she is only doing it to pay her way through nursing school. She really seems to understand me, well a lot more than my wife does. There is a little bit of an age difference, but that shouldn't matter if it's real love. I think I'll take Jr.'s college fund and transfer it to her so she can buy textbooks, and baby formula for her son. Maybe if I give her enough, then she will agree to run away with me. (She has said no the last two times I have asked.)
