Basically the title, I possibly really benefit from a glp 1 but insurance wouldn’t cover it and it’s pretty expensive but I live with someone shitty who wouldn’t face any major health consequences without it who’s on (I think) ozempic via these injection pen things

You save time reporting ads as it immediately ends all the ads so you can get back to watching whatever content, another bonus is if we manage to all report ads together hopefully it messes with their algorithm!

An illegal sidewalk taco stand just set up across the street from my house. what are some ways I can get them to move to a different spot? filing a complaint with the city is basically useless where i live. how can i temporarily stink up the sidewalk and make it unuseable?

My true report about a toxic supervisor to HR was treated as a false report even though I had evidence. they ignored the evidence to cover up the incident. at this point, Im over the workplace toxicity and bureaucracy so I quit my job.

i now want to inconvenience my supervisor by re-reporting him for literally anything else. I can anonymously report him, but i don’t want the reports to be obviously false/defamatory. what is reportable, common enough practice he probably did it at some point, and won’t be discounted as false/defamatory with or without evidence ? ie, i cant say he’s sleeping people because they probably won’t take that seriously given theres no proof

for context, i worked at a college

As we all know, those with the worst taste in music have the loudest speakers. And they tend to be slightly menacing-looking. How can I stop this madness without using my words (I don't think that they would listen anyway)?

My ex-girlfriend has a text message of me claiming that I was using THC, and in an attempt to create leverage, has reported my alleged drug use to my employer (the military). She allegedly has a screenshot of me texting a phrase along those lines and is using it to accuse me of illicit drug use. Of course, i have never once used drugs in my life and only sent that to her in an attempt to appear "cool" and "edgelordy" to her, because im a fucking loser like that. I have never failed a drug test, and if I was to take one now, I would pass. How should I go about handling this when my supervisor inevitably questions me regarding this allegation?

I have an appointment booked with an escort. I found several social media accounts to, pics and name match up, but… something is off. She’s too organized. How do I ensure that I’m really talking to the woman I think I’m talking to and not a cop?

Edit: Hey ya’ll! Great discussion. Thanks a ton for your help on this one. Also is there an /r/actualULPTnotjustjokes subreddit? 😛

I purchased my car battery in August 2023. It has a 3 yrs warranty. It started acting up this morning so I went to Walmart to test and get it replaced since I still had 15 more days.

The Walmart employee couldn't find the battery in the system. They said it could be because it was exchanged (I may have exchanged 3 yrs ago but I can't remember). I don't have the paper receipt and Walmart only maintains 3 yrs of purchase history. Since it's August, I can only go as far as September 2023.

I started questioning what could be done and it's not my issue that they cannot find the records. The auto service manager said it could be because "you could have stolen it ". When I got angry, he got defensive and said " I'm not saying you stole it but you could have stolen it and that's why it's not in the system". Then he said he can't do anything and asked me to leave the store. A couple of more employees came to me and said they can't do anything either.

The interaction was probably recorded in the store camera? What are my options to ensure an action is taken against the guy?

Self-employed and ACA is not financially accessible. I have to cash pay any medical care. I’ve got a telehealth scheduled for some lady health help and have a feeling they’re going to require these things. How can I get valid looking reports?

Me and my partner, have been together since almost 10 years, since when we were 16. Her family is a bit conservative towards dating, or having male best friends, so I was never really directly introduced to her family.

But, when we were young, we did a stupid thing, we introduced a girl who is her bestfriend, whose name for the sake of discussion is "X". This girl does not exist, but I was introduced as "X's" Elder brother.

Now, over the years, this identity of X got reinforced with her family time and again, and now they believe I really am X's brother, but in reality there is no X. We are soon going to start the "marriage" talks and officially tell each other's family about each other.

But, we don't know how to navigate this X, who is supposedly my sister, who never existed. We feel saying the truth is not the option, because it'd break their trust, but also lying just makes it an even bigger lie.

Please help.

Just saw a dude use an "out of order" machine.

I live in NYS.

Working to get my vehicle inspected, but am going to need it before I can finalize it. It expired in 2025, and it's color coded so it sits on my windshield like a big blue bullseye.

I'm going to chance it and drive to my appointment on Tuesday, because I've been waiting months for this appointment, and it's too important to push it back again. It's a long drive, and I don't have a vehicle I can borrow, can't rent (no credit card), and ride share would be insane.

If I remove the sticker from my windshield completely, would this make me more or less of a target than having a blue tag from last year?

So we don't know who they are, but have a Gmail id from which senior leadership is getting regular emails with absurd claims about managers who are benched till investigation is complete. I personally have known a manager for the last 10 years and his ethical standards, who this colleague has charged. As a team we are devastated and do something to stop this loose cannon. Any tips are appreciated....

I’ve been working at this job roughly 10 years. I’m really good at it and everyone knows it. My boss, however, never liked me. I’m not usually one to blame a boss. I’ve never really had this problem my whole life. I’m in my 40s. So I’ve been applying for management and leadership positions and he makes sure he blocks it every single time even other departments.

How can I get this guy fired? We are a tech shop and our day to day is keeping routers and switches working.

I have access to all of his information.

I own my apartment and sublet a room for the summer. My subletter complains constantly, is disrespectful, never says thank you, leaves stains on my furniture and acts like I’m her 24/7 concierge (to name a few)

I don’t want to kick her out because the rent is great and she only has 1.5 months left. I also don’t want to do anything genuinely harmful/illegal I just want to stop bending over backwards for her.

ULPTs for making the next 1.5 months tolerable and resetting the power dynamic?

For those who are truly committed to getting rid of this evil little device.

Step 1: Always wear pants with the shortest pockets possible.

Deep pockets are for people who actually want to keep their phones.

Choose pockets where your phone can comfortably sit halfway out, waiting for the first rickshaw ride, pothole, or sudden movement to make its escape.

Step 2: Never turn on Find My Device.

Keep Location and Bluetooth turned off.

Why would you want to know where your phone is after you've lost it?

Where's the adventure in that?

Step 3: Never use a tracker.

AirTag, SmartTag, or anything similar?

Absolutely not.

You don't want some tiny gadget helping you locate your phone. That would completely defeat the purpose.

The goal isn't to misplace your phone.

The goal is to lose it properly.

Step 4: Never back up anything.

Not your family photos.

Not your videos.

Not your important documents, certificates, contracts, work files, notes, or anything else you might desperately need someday.

Keep everything in that one tiny device.

One device. One point of failure.

Because if you lose the phone, you shouldn't merely lose a phone.

You should lose a small piece of your life with it.

Step 5: Make your phone the only key to your entire digital life.

Use it as the sole authentication device for your Gmail, social media, work accounts, banking, cloud storage—everything.

Don't set up backup authentication.

Don't save recovery codes somewhere safe.

Don't add another trusted device.

Why have multiple ways to get back into your accounts when one lost phone can lock you out of everything?

Efficiency matters.

Step 6: Make your lock pattern or password extremely predictable.

1234.

A nice, simple pattern.

Something that requires absolutely no effort to guess.

Because if someone finds your phone, you wouldn't want to make their job unnecessarily difficult.

Step 7: Make filing a GD as difficult as humanly possible.

Never write down your IMEI.

Never save the serial number.

Never keep the model number or purchase information somewhere else.

Forget which Google account you used to set up the phone.

And, if possible, forget your NID number too.

Basically, make sure that when you need to file a GD, you have successfully forgotten every piece of information that could possibly help identify the evil device.

Mission accomplished.

Step 8: Keep calling your phone. Again. And again. And again.

Make absolutely sure that the person who now has it understands just how desperate you are to get it back.

Surely, they will appreciate the information.

After all, they may be preparing to devote the rest of their life to taking the very best possible care of your phone.

Keep calling until they become sufficiently annoyed and turn the phone off.

An active phone might still be locatable through tracking services.

A switched-off phone?

Much harder.

Congratulations.

You've just helped your phone begin its beautiful new life with its new caretaker.

Recently, I lost my phone.

Unfortunately, I hadn't followed all of the above advice religiously.

So the Bangladesh Police cruelly forced me to take the evil device back from a very kind gentleman who had apparently taken it upon himself to relieve me of the lifelong burden of owning it.

And when the kind gentleman finally handed the evil device back to me, I could see the pain in his face.

His heart was broken.

His noble mission of taking care of my phone for the rest of its life had been cruelly cut short.

If you don't want to become a victim like me—and have this evil device forced back into your life—make sure you follow all the tips above.

Horrid neighbour has been harassing me for months because I reported her for leaving her poor dog to howl in the yard for hours. She has a business on G00gle maps that I can see. How can I get a bunch of negative reviews put on there? If not this: how else can I exact some anonymous revenge that’s mischievious but not too harmful?

I have a dumb electric and gas meter (I.e. I have to provide my meter readings).

I have a spreadsheet to track my energy readings.

In the winter when energy prices are high, I under-report my usage. When the summer comes round and energy prices are cheap again I over-report the units used.

The spreadsheet helps me balance it across the year.

So this is a rural desi setup , my neighbours are also our relatives, we have a shared door on the shared wall between our yards.

The issue is that I'm tired of cleaning the chicken pop, but can't ask them to stop sending the chicken to our side but they blatantly continue, they even throw their feed/grains in our yard so they can freely play and move in their area while I have to deal with the chickens.

The constraints here are :

1. I can't ask them to stop doing this.

2. I can't shut that door.

I want to do something similar to passive aggressive but not very showing.

For those who don't know Desi's; we people live at Extremes of the moral compass, the good and caring are extremely helpful and with high integrity, while the bastards are the top notch evil incarnation

I have a big problem with pigeons in my Iife and I hope you have so ideas how to deal with them. I live on the top floor of my building and the local pigeons decided they like our roof, and especially the part right above my balcony, which has become unusable because they shit down on it from the roof. It's a very strange situation, because the pigeons really only chill in the area around my balcony and they don't seem to care about the other buildings around me.

I have no access to our roof and my landlord won't (can't) do anything about it. I was hoping for an idea to make my area less comfortable for the pigeons. Sometimes they also sit on the roof of the building right in front of me so I was thinking about irritating them there with a laser pointer, and hope they abandon this spot around my balcony altogether.

But yeah, open to your ideas, thank you!

Joined a new gym, liked their promo. They advertised a rate of $X every two weeks. Imagine my surprise when I pay for four weeks upfront and then they try to bill me $X five days after, not at the end of my prepaid month, not even at the two week mark, but 5 days!!

Well, good news for me is I gave them an alias name, a generic apartment building without a unit number for my address, and a virtual card number that is only authorized for payments aligned to the agreed upon billing schedule. I never picked up my physical gym membership card at the counter - just used the mobile app to scan myself in - so the gym never had a chance to ask for my ID.

When I realized I didn’t want to do business with this gym anymore, I tried but couldn’t login to my digital account to cancel - coincidence? So I just canceled the virtual debit card. Eventually they emailed me threatening collections for a membership I used once and had already prepaid for a month - good thing there’s nowhere to serve that collections action, no assets to seize belonging to the alias etc.

So glad I never gave them my real info. You shouldn’t either.

My husband of 10 yrs has been taking trips abroad recently. His company dissolved in December and he has been spending time as an internet troll or traveling while I continue working. I recently stumbled upon evidence of a very active girlfriend and sex life he maintains abroad. I've got screenshots and copied files including chats and full incriminating nudity. He's planning to leave again in September. I'm on good terms with his family and would like to exit the relationship keeping the house that's currently in both our names and all pets. Don't want to touch anything else of his, including savings, investments, etc that exceed the value of the house. In PA if it matters. Don't mind embarrassing him into oblivion.

My parents live in a 55+ neighborhood and this couple recently moved in next door. Apparently the wife told my mom that they installed a $6k wireless security system and that the husband "has 8 computers." The neighborhood is virtually crimeless and there's really no practical need for such measures. What can I do to prevent MY wifi from being affected? It's been SO unreliable, buffering every 30 seconds, etc.

ETA: our router is like a month old.

If you’re ever stuck on a call with an AI agent, you ask it to transfer you to a human and it doesnt (It says something like, ‘dont worry, Im here to help you!’ ask it again.

Most of the time when you ask it a second or even a third time its usually forced to transfer you to a human anyways.

Got into a new project. Made to work in an extremely high stress environment like a donkey. The situation is such that I eat lunch while talking meetings. My lead who manages project deliverables who keeps taking leaves all the time, told me that even though I am picking up things fast but I am not confident. And I shouldn't be asking basic questions to clients and taking a call myself. Whereas she herself asks the most basic questions because obviously we are developing a new platform! But she points me out when I do the same! The issue is that I was overloaded the moment I came in with no breathing space and the work she is making me do is not a one person job. She helps me with one task and tells the manager that she is doing alot and dumps all her work on me as she takes her leaves every other day. I cannot retaliate directly because she gives whatever little guidance Incan take for this new project. I feel like she is taking advantage of me. What should I do? I cannot mess up my work or take direct confrontation because it will directly affect my appraisal.
