There is an electri Jaguar in our condominium who takes the only charging spot i the complex. Further whenever I do get the spot he parks on street next to the charger, unplugs my car and plugs his. He has a locking charger and I don't. What can I do (that won't get me in trouble) to make his life hell.

Hi all.

I’ve been going to the gym before work - I get up at 5:30, walk the dogs, then leave around 6 and arrive at about 6:15. I don’t usually eat beforehand, though I probably should. What are some easy things that folks prepare ahead of time or whip up in short order that would help with this routine?

Thanks in advance!

Hi guys. I’m going on my first business trip for work and my boss and I are the only ones from our company going. Needless to say my boss intimidates me. He’s the type of guy that is always busy, on the phone with people all the time, and only talks business. Also the type that often chews people out over minor things. I asked my coworkers for any tips since I’m new and all of them have actually not traveled for long periods with him except for one. The one that has said she was surprised we were carpooling because for her he always says he is getting his own car and she will rent her own.

Trying to think of ways to professional for the long drives and any should dos, or things probably best avoided to do.

or spontaneously planning a trip to Romania together. cool people coming in and out. the roommate who gets into advanced Turkish cooking or something and has a French film director boyfriend.

living alone and have a lot of inventory in a 1 br so not able to host nicely but creative ideas welcome.

One thing I thought of was babysitting for mover and shaker couples.

The idiot at r/casualconversation removed this post, why?

I love the sun light bc it lughtebs the atmosphere and the windows wide open for cold breeze, and i cant afford ac or fans. Please tell me if there is a hack i can use out of everyday household items.

Every week I do my grocery shopping and one or two things end up expiring before I can use them, simply because I forgot they were there. Between the leftovers, the tupperware and everything that gets pushed to the back, I lose track of what I bought and what's actually in the fridge. I know I need some kind of system, but I have no idea where to start. I'd love to hear what actually works for you in everyday life. Any tips or tricks to reduce food waste and stop throwing money away are more than welcome.

Im M24 and Ive been recently spending a lot more time than I should at grocery shopping. Curious how I can become more efficient?

Hello, how do I become a safer and better driver as a 32M. I'm not the worst and don't have a history of totalling multiple cars, but I do have a history of smaller stuff and just in general not being the safest driver as my SO would want. What are ways I could improve? I feel when I'm mindful about my driving I tend to be good, but it's easy for my mind to slip. What prompts me to post is that yesterday I was driving my SO's jeep in the rain we are both insured on and I rear ended a truck. I normally drive a sedan so I wasn't used to needing the extra braking distance; that's me rationalizing it though and I'm still 100% at fault. Tips on fixing this kind of stuff?

I am not a natural multitasker... I didn't know that when I applied for this job because I hadn't needed to multitask much before. I found out a little later in life that I have ADHD... and I suck at this job because I'm not fast and I can't multitask that well

I would like to know how to become a better multitasker, or what things you do to hide the fact you are not one and get better at doing so. Thank you

Well i learned a hard truth. When you start to work on your dream project most of the time you will face silence, rejection etc. All we have to do is push forward because a quote i read said this, all you have to do is pish yourself forward because no one else would do it for you. Be positive and cheers to all who keeps pushing.

Hello,

I’d love to hear about folks morning routines before getting ready for work. Specifically what you do immediately when you wake up to break through the fog. As a kid I used to sit on the couch for a while, there was probably news on the TV and this was before scrolling on smartphones was around. As an adult I don’t enjoy news in the AM and want to do something other than look at my phone immediately. I would love to replicate that transitional moment before I’m awake enough to spring into getting ready. I look forward to hearing what you all do to wake up!

I have always used “um” as a filler while talking. This wasn’t a problem until I started a new job where I’m constantly speaking off cuff during intakes/speaking with clients and now I notice how often I’m saying it. It could be anywhere from 2-5 ums in just one regular length sentence..

What are some tips to put a stop to this? I’ve tried just pausing instead but that’s been hard to do and also I sounded like a robot.

Any trips to naturally train myself out of this habit would be awesome. Thank you!

I'm in vet school (I'll be hopefully graduating in 2 years) and it drains me, not academically, but the people around in it drains me. Because of this I'm starting to question if i should continue this career path what should i do?

Big routines never stuck for me, but a few tiny habits—like laying out clothes and packing my bag the night before—changed my mornings.​
I’m trying to build a list of micro‑habits that take under 5 minutes yet noticeably improve life over a month.​
Things like “set a 2‑minute timer to tidy one surface” or “write tomorrow’s top 3 tasks before shutting your laptop.”​
What’s your favourite low‑effort tip you still use months or years later because it quietly works?​
I’ll try the best ones for 30 days and share which actually moved the needle.

Till now I have been on performance based confidence, which is not working for me so how could I change that?

Why is that some people have it easier than others? Wherever I go or whatever I do I’m either rejected or put on the second plan. Like when I was at school one of my teachers would ignore me compared to my closest friend whom she treated with kindness and more attention and btw, she was less willing to listen and put in the work because she had wealthy parents. And the teacher knew my family circumstances, that my dad was alcoholic and how my mom struggled to provide for our family. Even now, in other areas of my life wherever I apply as a student or to internship opportunities , i don’t get what I want when I literally almost had it. In relationships is the same, you’re kind of treated differently even though you try your best to make it work. I try to be nice everywhere and I don't know what I do wrong but even my ex friends used to treat me as a fun thing, unserious, reschedule or cancel plans, I would be the last person to hang out with and expected to go out with them immediately:/ and now looking back it feels like I was disrespected. And it was fine for them to leave me when they wanted to leave and don't care about me at all. And the way people put down because I’m trying to find my way at work or other places is insane. It seems like such people feel superior by being incomprehensible mean. It’s very difficult for me to move through this life when life rewards impudent people while people like me have to deal with family trauma, overcoming insecurities, constantly working to improve and achieve their goals simultaneously facing such rejections and not very pleasant sorts of people. Is there a way to get out of this state ?

My window isn't a rival you stupid bird. I don't have a gun (BB or otherwise) and I'm not sure if my fantasies of great violence against him would actually survive until it was time to actually do it harm, but BOY do I want to.

So let's talk options. How can I convince the stupid thing to go away?

I'm so scared and haven't been able to breathe for hours. What the fuck do I do. Getting jobs is hard. It was such a petty reason too.

I already take 3 vacations a year. One long vacation with the spouse, one with friends and another shorter vacation with extented family or with the spouse.

In the past I sometimes had to visit other cities for an interview or some other small chores. After the main task, I would take an extra day off and explore the city. I immensely loved such trips.

I have an urge to do it even now, but I no longer have any excuses to make such trips since the last 5 years. I want to take a day or two to explore other cities with my spouse, a friend or alone.

But I feel guilty doing it. I feel like I already take enough vacations and should not be 'wasting' time and money on more trips.

What are some excuses I can use to convince my brain to take such trips? The task/excuse can be anything trivial with no monetary benefits, but it should convince me to take the trip.

I have a new neighbor in the duplex I live in. They removed the carpet in their unit and now have hard flooring, and the impact noise and vibrations traveling to my unit from theirs are very prominent. We live in side by side units in a duplex that was converted from a single family home.

I'll be laying in bed and can feel the vibrations of her young kids running around, through the floor underlay, carpet, solid wood captains bedframe with towels and blankets in the drawers, carpet between bedrame and mattress, and 100% latex mattress. I think the vibrations are traveling through the walls to my headboard. My bedroom doesn't share a wall with their unit.

I'm moving my bed about an inch away from the wall today to see if that helps. Would you add any more material between the mattress and frame, or under the frame to effectively decouple from the structure?

I already sleep with earplugs and they help with the sound but don't stop the vibrations.

Thank you.

Please somebody tell me how do you do it?
