31 Y.O OVER WORRIED AS BF TO BE DID NOT REPLY THEN STARTED PANIC

31 Y.O OVER WORRIED AS BF TO BE DID NOT REPLY THEN STARTED PANIC

Im 31 years old and it’s not getting 31 is not getting any younger for a woman.

I’ve been on 4 dates with a 33y.o who I met on online dating a month and a half ago. Yesterday I wasn’t expecting a Valentines Day related gift or to hear from him because we don’t text every day. So it was a pleasant surprise to get a picture of him and his parents’ dog (he spent the weekend out of town at their place) texted to me yesterday.

I responded “Aw cuties ” and then probably did something I shouldn’t have and am now cringing at. I sent a GIF of Homer telling Marge “happy Valentine’s Day” where they’re just at the kitchen table, nothing implying love, hearts or flowers and he never responded.

It’s been 24 hours and I feel silly. We’ve never really talked about what we are looking for but have expressed we are interested and want to see where this goes. Also, he’s moving to another country for his graduate program.

Wondering if this is the cue for me to let it go and move on. We have plans to see each other on Sunday which we made over the weekend and I don’t know if that’s even going to happen anymore. I’m prone to anxious attachment and maybe I’m just overthinking things. Advice for handling the anxiety that comes with the early stages of dating?

Does anyone else have any Valentine’s Day blunders with new dates? Just me?

Here are what netizens think:

  • You say you have anxious attachment and there’s a pattern with these types I observed. When the person they are dating is doing something negative, for example not showing enough interest (in your case: not responding to a text), instead of “judging” them based on this negatively perceived behaviour (like “wow lame, no text back”), they always see that negative behaviour as NEUTRAL (justified, good) and instead they put the negativity on themselves (“I sent an embarrassing thing, I did a bad thing”).
  • I feel like that GIF would have been fine even if you’d just started talking THAT DAY. I wouldn’t assume it freaked him out. If it did, to reiterate what other commenters have been saying, I think that’s waaaay more about his attachment stuff than it is yours.
  • As someone who overthinks every thing (and spends days in a shame spin and embarrassment cycle after doing something dumb), I can honestly promise you that sending a Simpsons GIF is not a big deal. It’s funny and lightweight, and you weren’t professing your undying love for the dude. You were literally just wishing him a happy holiday. I sent valentines messages to tons on people in a platonic sense.

2 MEN ARRESTED, FRAUDULENTLY REGISTERS SIM CARDS FOR ILLICIT ACTIVITIES

2 MEN ARRESTED, FRAUDULENTLY REGISTERS SIM CARDS FOR ILLICIT ACTIVITIES

The Police have arrested two men, aged 40 and 37, for their suspected involvement in fraudulently registering mobile lines and trading of these fraudulently registered mobile lines.

6 hour operation

On 31 July 2023, in a six-hour operation, officers from the Commercial Affairs Department and Police Intelligence Department arrested the men. Preliminary investigations revealed that the 37-year-old man was working at an events company that conducted SIM card registration roadshows. He had allegedly registered additional prepaid SIM cards without the customers’ consent. These additional prepaid SIM cards were then sold to individuals who wanted to purchase SIM cards without using their identities. The 40-year-old man allegedly abetted the offences and procured the pre-registered prepaid SIM cards from the other man and resold them to others for suspected criminal purposes. Upon their arrests, an assortment of paraphernalia such as mobile phones, prepaid SIM cards and records were seized. Police investigations are ongoing.

Criminals may exploit such fraudulently registered prepaid SIM cards as an anonymous channel of communications for illicit activities such as unlicensed moneylending, scams and vice. Scam syndicates have also been found to perpetrate their criminal activities using such prepaid SIM cards to contact victims and to communicate amongst themselves, to evade possible detection.

The offence of illegally obtaining personal information under Section 416A of the Penal Code 1871 carries an imprisonment term of up to three years,a fine of up to $10,000, or both. The offence of unauthorized modification of computer material under Section 5(1) of the Computer Misuse Act 1993 carries an imprisonment term of up to three years, a fine of up to $10,000, or both.

The Police take a serious stance against any person who may be involved in scams and will continue to clamp down on retailers and assistants who may be indirectly facilitating illicit activities. Those involved in such illicit activities will be dealt with in accordance with the law. Members of the public are advised to refrain from purchasing pre-registered prepaid/postpaid SIM cards and to always maintain a clear view of their identification documents to prevent them from being misused during the registration of SIM cards by retailers or assistants.

TOXIC BOSS ALLEGEDLY REFUSED TO LET EMPLOYEES WORK FROM HOME

TOXIC BOSS ALLEGEDLY REFUSED TO LET EMPLOYEES WORK FROM HOME

A netizen shared how his friend is working for a company with a toxic boss who refuses to let any of his employees work from home, and is asking for advice.

Here is the story

Asking for a friend, has anyone (successfully) reported or knows someone who has reported their company for failing to abide with the WFH regulations?

Brief background:

His company has about 10 employees. Small-ish (SME) company, bosses are old and very traditional (read: toxic). However, despite the government setting WFH requirements at 50%, his bosses have refused to let any of his/her employees work from home, even though the nature of their job is such that it is possible to do their jobs entirely remotely/from home. My friend has two elderly parents who he doesn’t really want exposed to COVID, and largely stays at home because he doesn’t want to run into the risk of passing on the virus (~20k cases yesterday).

Hence, he really wants to WFH (also because its wayyyy more convenient), and was wondering if there’s a way to force his company’s hand into allowing their employees to work from home.

As mentioned above, anyone know of a way to do so? Also, what/who are the “proper” channels to report to? And are there any potential ramifications for reporting to MOM, etc. if he eventually does so?

Thanks for everyone’s help in advance!

Netizens’ comments

  • Your friend’s best bet is to look for another job. Likely the boss won’t play nice with the employees after getting snitched.

Coming from personal experience.

  • Look for another job asap then snitch.

MAN GETS PUNCHED IN PATTAYA, VICTIM FINED, NOTHING HAPPENED TO ATTACKER

In the age of social media and viral videos, incidents like the one that occurred on Jomtien Beach in Pattaya capture the attention of millions worldwide. A video showing a Thai man punching a South Korean YouTuber, Anseong Ri, has gone viral on YouTube, raising questions about privacy, cultural differences, and social norms.

The Beach Altercation

The incident took place at approximately 2 am on a Friday, July 28, when Anseong Ri was livestreaming on YouTube and Kick websites. The video shows Ri walking on the beach, engaging with his audience when suddenly, Anupong, a Thai man in an orange shirt, confronted him, shouting angrily about not being filmed without permission.

Anupong demanded Ri to stop recording, to which Ri responded that he hadn’t filmed him. A heated argument ensued, with both parties exchanging expletives. As tensions escalated, Anupong threw punches at Ri, causing his nose to bleed. Despite pleas from onlookers, the attack persisted until Ri managed to walk away.

Attacker did not get fined, jailed or arrested

a prominent online platform, reported that Ri took some time to compose himself before returning to address the issue. However, another foreign tourist discouraged him, advising that it was not worth pursuing the matter further. Tourist Police intervened, and Ri was charged 34,000 baht for filming others without permission. Surprisingly, Anupong faced no legal consequences for the physical assault.

Debates and Opinions

The incident has sparked intense discussions online, with viewers expressing diverse opinions. Some believe that Ri was unjustly attacked and that Thailand is a dangerous place for foreigners. They argue that everyone should respect personal boundaries and that violence should never be the answer.

On the other hand, some viewers opine that Ri’s actions warranted consequences due to his disregard for others’ privacy. They argue that even though the attack may have been excessive, filming others without consent is an invasion of their privacy, and cultural norms should be respected.

GIRL FLIRTS WITH MARRIED MAN AT WORK, COMPLAINS WHEN RUMOURS START

GIRL FLIRTS WITH MARRIED MAN AT WORK, COMPLAINS WHEN RUMOURS START

My married colleague 37y.o guy bought me lunch last Friday. We are on two different sub-teams in the same company but he offered to help me on a major project throughout the weekend- because of his assistance I would bring him snacks or energy drinks. He made a joke one day about I should buy him lunch and I agreed. Fast forward and we agree to a lunch date and he ended up buying me lunch instead, in addition to getting me a box of cookies on Valentine’s day. I offered again to buy him lunch since he paid when I should have and he agreed on next Tuesday.

We have a good banter, and sometimes it can teeter on flirtatious or even adult jokes but I always thought it was jokes. When we went out to lunch nearby the office, another colleague happened to be eating at the same restaurant and saw us. Then rumours started spreading immediately… I confronted the colleague who saw us and said it was none of his business what we do with our time off the clock (probably not the best phrasing at all) and to stop spreading rumours when he has no information about anything.

However, it made me wonder if I’m the one in the wrong for allowing flirtatious behaviour from a married man and allowing him to buy me lunch. He is married but I don’t think he is on good terms with his wife. I know he also has an 8-month-old son but from certain phrasing, he’s used it seems like he and his wife are separated and co-parenting although he hasn’t specifically said that.

Am I wrong to confront the rumour spreader?

Here are what netizens think:

  • This reads like a fantasy of a 37yo man who is unhappy with his home life and daydreams about having an affair with his much younger friendly coworker.
  • She is also young and probably feels flattered and like she is saving him, and it is flattering to have someone show you attention, especially if it is someone you admire. But hopefully she will realise this guy is a dick and she will pull her head out of her arse and will keep things professional from now on.

PRC MAN DECLARES LOVE WITH 840 RUBIK’S CUBES MOSAIC BUT GOT REJECTED

PRC MAN DECLARES LOVE WITH 840 RUBIK’S CUBES MOSAIC BUT GOT REJECTED

In a heartwarming yet unconventional gesture, a 27-year-old Chinese man named Tong Aonan captured the attention of the internet with his grand romantic endeavor. He decided to express his affection for his next-door neighbor by creating a stunning mosaic made from 840 Rubik’s cubes. However, despite the thoughtful effort and creativity, Tong’s dream girl turned down the heartfelt gesture.

The Inspiration

Tong Aonan, a mechanic residing in the northern Chinese city of Shenyang, found himself smitten with his next-door neighbor. To express his feelings, he wanted to do something truly unique and memorable. Inspired by his love for puzzles and Rubik’s cubes, Tong decided to create a special gift for the woman who had captured his heart.

Tong embarked on a meticulous planning process, spending two months perfecting his idea. He used digital tools like Photoshop to design the mosaic and visualize how it would look once completed. With the design ready, he invested $460 to purchase 840 Rubik’s cubes, which were later delivered to his apartment.

The next phase involved solving each Rubik’s cube according to the pre-designed pattern. Tong spent countless hours assembling the cubes one by one in a specially crafted wooden frame. The mosaic stood tall at 2.1 meters and was 1.4 meters wide, an impressive piece of art that showcased both his love and puzzle-solving skills.

With the mosaic finally completed, Tong Aonan presented his heartfelt creation to his next-door neighbor, hoping it would convey the depth of his feelings. Unfortunately, she declined his romantic advances, leaving Tong disheartened. However, despite the rejection, Tong remained composed and philosophical about the situation.

Many people couldn’t fathom why the girl had turned down such a heartfelt and geeky declaration of love. They expressed sympathy for Tong and admired his courage to make such a bold and inventive gesture. Tong, however, harbored no ill feelings towards her, appreciating the fact that she accepted the gift despite not reciprocating his feelings.

Dealing with Public Attention

As Tong’s story spread across the internet, he found himself subjected to numerous personal comments and speculations. He appealed to the public to respect the girl’s privacy and stop making personal remarks about her online. Tong proved to be not just a romantic but also a considerate individual, displaying a level of maturity that impressed many.

24 Y.O KICKED OUT HOME BY PARENTS STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE

24 Y.O KICKED OUT HOME BY PARENTS STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE

So to start with I’m from I just drop out of school, 24M this year and live alone in shared accommodation as I got kicked out of the house by my parents after an argument.

If you have been keeping an eye on news you will see that cost of living has just skyrocketed due to all sorts of factors and I know it will only get worse from here.

On a standard week, I will ideally work around part-time about 30 hours and rarely more as my employer cannot give me any more. After monthly rent and bills, I’m lucky to have just about enough to buy food each week. I have no savings due to these circumstances and I’m constantly on edge waiting for that surprise bill to ruin me.

So to cut a long story short I’m wondering if anyone has any advice on saving for me so I can build myself a safety net.

Here are what netizens think:

  • Can you find a second job to fill in the other hours you’re not working?
  • You’re only working 30 hours a week. Get a second job to boost your income.
  • Better job is the preferred answer. It avoids having to juggle two schedules, which might be difficult with two part time jobs, that will likely want flexibility from you. Plus trying to get one with a better hourly wage would improve the situation on top of getting more hours.
  • As others have said, earn more, spend less. Not sure what the market is like these days, I recommend investigating if getting some kind of course that will suit you. Some weekend shifts under the right boss etc.. or just looking for an actual career at the same income where some years under your belt will result in an expected increase on wages.
  • Not for everyone but if you find yourself with free time you could try taking up some kind of secondary job. Don’t have to work for anybody, you could take up doing repairs and odd jobs or maybe just doing some creative tasks and selling what you create. Essentially doing whatever you can to build up some savings to fall back on.

ACCIDENT WITH TAXI, PRIVATE SETTLED BUT END UP TOLD TO PAY MORE

Hi all bro and sis,

I need some advice

On last wed 26 / 07/ 2023, 11pm I had minor accident w comfort taxi, the taxi itself no damage just a few scratches and the driver ask for private settlement. He asked 200 and I counter propose 150 but he insist he want 200 else will go for report. So I agreed to give him 200 but because I don’t have cash on hand so I told him I will paynow him.

He wrote a small note say I pay him 200 and settled.

At about 27/7/2023, 2am he reminded me to transfer to his bank.

I did the transfer at 7am plus 27/7/2023 and tot case closed.

Until 31/7/2023 12pm plus, he texted me say his hirer don’t agree with the settlement, and at 1pm plus he transferred back the money to me.

Can like tat one meh!???

Please advice me what can I do because I felt no logic at all.

Here are what netizens think:

  • Bro, I’m ex taxi driver here…..his hirer will report to CDG. Whatever letters u receive from CDG or lawyers, just pay excess to yr rental company. Any lawyer letters come to yr house, just throw…..all these Alibaba games by taxi drivers I play aldy long time ago. if u have cdw, means yr excess is $500/500…..just pay yr rental company $500 for the taxi repair & tell yr rental company u will touch up yr car yrself upon return.
  • Private settlement, you need to write very detail, including both involved in the accident car plate and detail of both agree to settle privately, and also must include amount agreed for the settlement, and most importantly both party must counter sign, once all these is done, if either party back out, this thing goes to court, you will be the winning party…. I had done it before once I hit a motorcycle, he told me his not injured and want private settlement, I wrote down all and we both sign, in the end his father taught him something and he back out on the private settlement, things goes to court and I win the case.
  • If he not reduced ur price than no choice just make a report n don’t forget camera at windscreen n shoot photo around damage area.
