It had been a long day at the office. I was exhausted and ready to go home. I had been researching different adult toys online for the past few weeks and had decided to finally take the plunge and buy one for myself.

I had been a bit apprehensive about it at first, but I was feeling adventurous and wanted to give it a try.

Accidentally put the delivery address to my office, everyone saw

So, I ordered it online and eagerly awaited its arrival.

I had accidentally put the delivery address to my office instead of my home, and was afraid that everyone will see it.

I wanted to change the address but forgot about it and it came to my office the next day.

There it was, in all its glory; my brand new adult toy. I was so embarrassed that I had ordered it, my colleagues who walked passed by desk all saw it and I was sure my colleagues would be able to tell what it was and judge me for it.

Tried to hide it to save myself from embarrassment, but no use

I quickly tried to hide it and decided to take it home with me that evening. I stuffed it into my bag and tried to act as natural as possible as I left the office.

I thought I had been successful in my mission until I heard a few of my colleagues snickering behind my back. I had no idea what was going on until I heard one of them say: “Did you see the package she was carrying out? That was definitely a adult toy!”

My face flushed red and I felt myself shrinking in embarrassment. I was so embarrassed that my colleagues had seen my adult toy.

I had no idea what to do or say. I wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear. All I could do was keep walking and try to act like nothing had happened.

Is it just me or have internship salaries been skyrocketing to ridiculously high and potentially unsustainable levels? Personally.

I have secured an internship that pays >10k a month but when I see my friends getting internships that pay >20k or 30k per month (if you count signing bonuses), I do feel quite underpaid.

Here are the numbers of some of the companies for 2023 Internship which I have gathered from sources:

• Jane Street: ~29k/mth + ~13k sign-on
• Optiver: ~25k/mth
• Jump Trading: 20k/mth + 10k sign-on
• HRT: not sure but ~20k/mth
• Virtu: 12.5k (2022)
• Quantedge: 11k (2022)
• Citadel: ~13k (2022)
• DRW: 10k
• Stripe/Meta: 10k (2022, may not be hiring interns for 2023 though)

The Asia offices dont even pay the highest, if you look at the number for US offices, its even higher: https://www.levels.fyi/internships/

Here are what netizens think:

• Very hard to land positions there. Who wants to get an idea, check the puzzles published by Jane Street.
• When an amateur compares before taxes or other logging expenses….
• Join fast, get fired fast too.

When I got married, I was determined to have the perfect wedding. I wanted to make sure that my special day was perfect in every way. I wanted to dress in the most elaborate gown, have a beautiful venue, and make sure that everything was perfect.

But, in the end, I realized that having the perfect wedding was nothing but a debt on top of my HDB.

I already had a mortgage on my HDB flat, but I wanted to make my wedding extra special. To do that, I had to spend a lot more money. I had to rent a lavish venue, hire a caterer, buy flowers and decorations, and rent a photographer.

All of these things added up to a hefty sum. I ended up having to take out a loan to cover the costs of my wedding.

At the time, it seemed like a good idea. I thought that the beautiful wedding I was planning was worth the debt. But, in hindsight, I realize that it was a mistake. Not only did I end up with a large amount of debt, but I also had to spend a lot of time and energy planning the wedding. It was stressful and exhausting.

In the end, I decided to forgo the lavish wedding I had originally planned and instead opted for a more modest celebration. I still wanted to make my wedding special, but I wanted to do it without going into debt. I was able to do this by cutting back on some of the costs. I rented a smaller venue, opted for a simpler menu, and went for a more casual dress. I was still able to have a beautiful and special wedding, but I was able to do it without having to take out a loan.

Perfect weddings are not worth the debt.

It is possible to have a beautiful wedding without going into debt. You just need to be more creative and find ways to cut back on expenses. You can also ask family and friends for help. Many people are willing to lend a hand and will be more than happy to contribute to your special day.

In the end, it is up to you to decide what kind of wedding you want to have. If you want a lavish affair, then you may need to take out a loan. But, if you want to have a more modest celebration, then you can do it without taking on debt. The important thing is to make sure that whatever you choose, it is something that makes you happy and that you can afford.

At the end of the day, having the perfect wedding is not worth the debt. It is possible to have a beautiful and special wedding without taking out a loan.

All it takes is some creativity, a little bit of help from family and friends, and a commitment to staying within your budget.

 I’m a young punk, and I’m here to tell you why I think education isn’t as important as having a substantial amount of followers on Instagram.

I’m a big believer in the power of social media, and I think it’s a huge opportunity for people to get their message out and be heard by a wide audience. I’m a firm believer that the more followers you have on social media, the more influence and power you have to create change in the world.

So why should someone focus on getting more followers on Instagram, instead of focusing on their education? Well, it’s simple. Education is a great way to learn and grow, but it’s not the only way. There are so many other ways to learn, and to make a difference in the world.

Social media is a great platform to get your message out and to reach a large audience. It’s a powerful way to make a statement, to share your ideas, and to spread awareness about important causes. You can reach thousands, or even millions, of people with just one post.

Education is important, but it’s not the only way to make a difference. Social media is a great platform to reach a lot of people, and to make a real impact on the world. It’s a great way to get your message out, and to influence people.

Another reason why I think education isn’t as important as having a lot of followers on Instagram is because it’s easier to get followers on Instagram than it is to get an education. It’s much easier to build a following on social media, than it is to go through the formal process of getting an education.

You don’t have to go through long and tedious courses, and you don’t have to worry about taking tests or studying for exams. All you have to do is create interesting and engaging content, and share it with your followers. You don’t have to worry about grades or getting into a good school, you just have to put in the work to build your following.

I also think that having a lot of followers on Instagram can help you reach your goals faster, and with less effort. With more followers, you have more people that are likely to engage with your posts, and to spread your message. This can be extremely beneficial if you’re trying to make a difference, or to start a movement.

Finally, I think education isn’t as important as having a lot of followers on Instagram because it’s a great way to make money. If you have a lot of followers, you can monetize your account and make some money off of it. You can sell products, promote services, and even offer influencer marketing. With a large following, you can make a lot of money and make a real impact on the world.

In conclusion, I think education isn’t as important as having a lot of followers on Instagram. With a large following, you have a powerful platform to spread your message, to reach a lot of people, and to make a real difference in the world. You don’t have to go through the formal process of getting an education, and you can make money off of your account. So if you’re looking for a way to make a difference, and to make some money, I suggest focusing on building your Instagram following.

Taxi driver told me he gets harassed sometimes.

Females will use his hands to touch their ‘neh neh’

This shocks me. When my dad and the taxi driver were talking the driver mentioned how Chinese females would actually sit next to him at the front and purposely put his hand on their chest and call him a ‘chi ko pek’ then proceed to request for a free ride.

I’m just curious, is this a common occurrence and why is no one stopping it? My father also told me it’s less believable if a guy (taxi driver) goes to the authorities and tells the authorities he has been molested. It’s quite disappointing in my opinion

What do you think?

Here are what netizens think

• Wth… Never heard of this before. Perhaps time to install in vehicle camera so that got evidence to report to mata.
• Reminds me of that one video with the uncle changing jobs all the time due to women “pestering” him
• Must be that same uncle. They know his past jobs. That’s why they want more than just free ride.
• Obviously there’s no way to confirm the veracity of the taxi driver’s account, but let’s just give the driver the benefit of doubt – My personal take is that it is not entirely out of the world that a “working lady” may resort to such antics in order to get a free ride. As such, I would not be utterly surprised if he may encounter one or two such passengers amongst his multiple trips. But if it’s a “common occurrence”, then that may be less believable.
• given how a full time taxi driver has interacted with a large number of passengers over the years; i would not be surprised if there were such “extraordinary” cases.
• More like the clubbers with no money to go home and trying to get a free ride. The people working in rld are too scared of law enforcement to do this shit.

When I decided to take a trip to Korea, I was so excited. I had always wanted to explore the culture and the country itself.

As I was planning the trip, I knew that I had to go and visit a foreign friend I had made from Korea. I had met her on a trip to the United States and we had kept in touch ever since.

Told me that her husband is not around

When I arrived in Korea, I was welcomed with open arms by my foreign friend. She was so excited to show me around her country and introduce me to all the different sights and sounds of Korea. We had so much fun together and I was so grateful for her hospitality.

She even made plans for me to stay with her at her residence so that I can save some money on accomodation.

However, when I arrived at her place of residence, something seemed off. She told me that her husband was not in the country and that he had gone on a business trip. I was a little taken aback by this information and couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy.

After a few days of exploring Korea together, I started to notice that my foreign friend was acting strange. She was constantly flirting with me and making suggestive comments. She would also stare at me with an intense look in her eye, as if she wanted something from me.

I was starting to get worried that I had done something wrong and was about to be kicked out of her place. I was also worried that she had some sort of ulterior motive for inviting me over.

Came and asked me to ‘do’ her

One evening, when I was alone in my room, my foreign friend came in and told me that she wanted me to stay with her. She said that she had been thinking about it for a while and that she wanted me to have my way with her.

She said that her husband was not in the country and that she wanted me to fulfill the role of a husband.

I was taken aback, it was the first time I experienced a girl who was so bold.

She then added that her husband was always away for work and she was sick and tired of having to satisfy her own needs by herself and now that a man is readily available, she really wanted it badly.

I know everyone would expect me to go ahead with it and probably kpkb that I did not do it, but I couldn’t bear to bring myself to go ahead because I was afraid of the consequences. (and also because she not chio enough for me to risk anything)

This morning I (38M) was doing some housework on the first floor of the house while the wife (37F) was doing some upstairs. When I finished up what I was doing, I headed upstairs and didn’t see her anywhere.

I heard the shower in the master bath running and assumed she must have needed a shower. I thought it’s been a while since we’ve showered together, so maybe I’d surprise her by hopping in with her.

Walked in on my daughter instead

I got undressed and snuck into the bathroom and as soon as I opened the shower door I heard a scream and realized that my 18 year old daughter was the one in our shower.

I bolted out of the room and shut the door behind me. While I was getting dressed again, the wife came running in to figure out what the screaming was about and our daughter ran to her room and locked herself in.

Turns out the wife was in the other bathroom using the shower to clean the kitchen dust bin.

Our daughter hasn’t said a word to either of us since.

Here are what netizens think

• Don’t pretend it didn’t happened! That’s the worse thing to do. It’s better to say you’re sorry, it was an accident. She was in the master’s bathroom that’s why you didn’t check etc. Do not blame her and ask things like “why were you there anyway” too. Better to get thru the awkward talk and laugh it off later than scarring her for life.
• I don’t see why it would require a talk, it was just a parent walking in naked into the bathroom and immediately turning around when realising it was the wrong person. This is not a scarring event, just embarrassing.
• Because mature adults apologise for mistakes, and good parents model good behaviours. Literally he only has to say “Hey, I’m very sorry about coming into the bathroom while you were in there, I thought it was your mum”.

I (M24) confessed to my friend of 5 years (F26) that I had begun developing romantic feelings towards her beginning almost 4 years ago.

She heard me out and then said that she needed space to think it over. I was okay with that and knew what was gonna happen regardless.

She was my best friend for almost 5 years

She was my closest friend as I didn’t have many, and even when I was in a relationship with a romantic relationship with another female I still sometimes went to her to talk or hangout.

Yea I’m an a-hole for it, I was lying to myself being in a relationship with someone I didn’t care for. I just didn’t want to be alone. Eventually my then gf broke it off. She didn’t love me anymore. I didn’t either towards the end.

So only recently I decided to just confess because I was done hiding it and I wasn’t in a romantic relationship anymore. She just got back to me today, she doesn’t want to be my friend at all given my feelings towards her and she does not reciprocate.

So now I have one less friend after 5 years of knowing her. At least she said goodbye nicely.

I don’t know. I don’t care anymore. I should’ve never said anything. Oof.

Here are what netizens think

• You both did yourselves a favour, at least you have closure now, accept it and move on
• I confessed to a friend in a way that made it look like it was fading away. She was honest and told me she would never talk to me if the feelings were fresh. Now I don’t care.
• That’s completely different from me. Once I’ve been friends with a girl long enough I can’t ever look at them in a dating way again. My technique has been to date their friends instead lol

What should I do with my GF who uses dating apps while we’re together?

I’m a 160cm guy, got rejected by females way too many times and it’s hard for me to even find a girl who likes me back.

But well, I somehow managed to find a girl who agreed to date me but she openly uses dating apps in front of my face and often talks about her chats with the guys on there to me.

She would ask me what she should reply to them and even screenshot their chats and laugh about them to me.

She would swipe guys in front of me and almost every swipe was a match. My friends told me to break up with her but how could I, when I really want some affection from a girl and it took me so long to finally get a girl?

Breaking up isn’t an option, because as long as she’s willing to stick with me, I’m willing to do anything, even if it means enduring seeing her use dating apps and sugar daddy websites.

She said it’s because I don’t have money to spend on her, so she has to search for sugar daddies.

I swear this isn’t a troll because I know it sounds ridiculous – but she’s a virgin and doesn’t want to sleep with me. She would rather give her virginity to sugar daddies for the money. (she’s not even poor so idk why?)

She even told me “you no money what, unless you have money then you don’t come to talk to me about it”.

I feel hurt but I can’t tell her off because she told me “It’s my choice if I wanna use dating apps, you can’t control me. If you wanna date me, you have to accept that I’m gonna use tinder and I WILL continue to use tinder just so you know.”

She’s obviously threatening to break up if I try to control her…. and I can’t break up with her because I really like her and it’s not like I have other options…..

She’s pretty, fun to be with and although she doesn’t treasure me as much as I treasure her, I don’t want to lose her just because she is still on the lookout.

My (29M) GF (27F) of 3 years cheated on me with my brother (27M). My family is siding with them.

Despite my desire to shame them publicly, I will use alternate names. Also english is not my first language so sorry for any error.

I (29M) have a younger brother, Gabriel (27M). Until a couple of months ago, I would have described him as a people person, someone who make up for his lack of skills with his great eloquence and ability to read people. Now I would describe him as a devil with a silver tongue.

While growing up, I have sheltered him from any kind of problem. The bigger kids picked on him? I made them stop. He struggled in math? I spent hours helping him understand how to solve every exercise.

My parents are good people, they were strict with me but helped whenever I was in need, as long as they saw I was trying. Despite that, it was clear that Gabriel was always the favorite one.

This favoritism toward him only grew stronger once I got older. I decided to study computer engineering. My parents are old fashioned and don’t understand what a computer engineer’s job is. To them, I play video games from dawn to dusk. ( their words, not mine). I tried multiple times to explain to them what I do but it’s like talking to a wall.

My brother studied business. Once he graduated, he started searching for a job. The company I was ( and still am) working for was hiring people so I told him, he got the job and now he works in the sales department.

3 years ago I started dating Chelsea (27F). We dated for 3 years and after a couple of months I presented her my whole family. She and my brother got along but I never thought anything about it.

Fast forward to 1 year ago. My department was short on staff. There was a recession, people were let go and that put even more work on my and my colleagues’ shoulders. For 2 months, more or less, I worked from 7 AM to 7PM, then crawled home and basically fell asleep instantly. Even during the weekends, I was too tired to do anything special. This caused me and Chelsea to not be able to meet each other as much as usual ( normally we would go out at least twice a week. During those 2 months, we went out 1 a week or once every 2 weeks).

After those 2 months ended, things went back to normal, or so I thought. I noticed that Chelsea was distant even while we were together and her behavior was weird. She became quite possessive with her phone, she would suddenly cancel our dates and other things like that.

Anyway, fast forward to 3 months ago and I found out Chelsea had been cheating on me with my brother ( yeah, I looked through her phone, it’s a violation of her privacy, I know. ).

I think I have never been so angry in my whole life. I kicked her out, went to my brother’s house and confronted him. He laughed in my face. This man, my own brother, stole my GF after everything I did for him and even laughed in my face.

Not reacting violently in that moment was the biggest test of self-restraint I ever had.

I told him I had no brother from that moment onward and to act accordingly.

I got out, called our parents and told them what happened. They seemed to understand and said they would talk to Gabriel.

The next few months I was a mess emotionally so I tried focusing on my job.

I recently went to a family dinner and to my surprise, both Gabriel and Chelsea were there. To sum it up ( this post is already too long, sorry about that), my family decided to side with Gabriel, because apparently he and Chelsea ” found their true love in each other and, while they hurt me, I should try to forgive them and accept it.”. I told them exactly what I said to Gabriel: from now, act as if I don’t exist.

They have been storming my phone with calls ever since.
