I delivered a foodpanda order this morning, base earning and $3 tip. The order consisted of a packed food and a milo drink (cost $3.80, in a disposable sippy cup).

I noticed the spill as it dripped onto my feet after I ran over a bump at high speed. The drink uprooted from it holder and made a mess in my thermal bag. The food was unaffected though.

Acknowledged it was my fault for rough riding, i went to a nearby coffeeshop and bought a milo drink (2.80 but more serving, coincidentally the tip covered) and proceed to the customer house.

Arrived, i apologized to the customer and handled over the food and the replacement drink, but she denied the drink and calling me for doing a bad job for not being careful and the tip is undeserved, which I openly accept. However when she started to threatened to make a complaint to foodpanda and get me suspended, i asked her to reconsider this decision and accept the replacement drink or get her $3 back, as it may not worth the effort to go through foodpanda cs making complaint over a spilled drink.

She insisted to complain anyway, so I placed the food on her shoes rack but took the replacement drink with me, proclaimed that since she is going to get me fired, the drink is mine and will complete as many order while it last.

Ended my shift, i left with a lingering regret for not being careful, spilled a drink and disappointed a customer.

I (25F) work as a prostitute and let me tell you something about men’s mental health ……

It is messed up, simple as that. I can go into many details and talk about my meetups but I’ll give you a short summary, 10-20% of time it’s us banging and it’s goodbye.

Most of the time, it’s the client venting/crying to me about his life and how hard things are. You may get the sense that I don’t like this, on the contrary, I love it.

I studied a lot of psychology and love when I hear guys say that I make them feel better or that I made them feel safe to talk/vent to me.

I’ve never seen guys cry their eyes out like this before I became a prostitute and it’s so hard to see this side of men, not because it makes them less “manly” no, I think if anything it makes them more manly, but it’s hard to see because of how much they were holding in for a long period of time comes out

I know for us girls it’s a little easier to talk about your feelings, so if you’re a guy going through something then please try to talk about it , trust me when I say, keeping it in will most probably only result in these feelings getting stronger and stronger until one day you will see them come out in a way that you may not like.

Please talk to anyone, maybe a friend or a family member or even if you make friends online , just let it out off your chest. Have a great day everyone 🙂

When I was presented with the challenge of going on a fast food diet for a month straight, I was confident that I could do it.

I had been a fan of fast food since my childhood and I was sure I could handle it without any issues. Little did I know what I was getting myself into.

The challenge was to only eat fast food for a month straight, three meals a day, seven days a week. I was excited and ready to get started, electing to begin on a Monday.

I started off strong, beginning with an Egg McMuffin for breakfast, a Big Mac and fries for lunch, and a Whopper and fries for dinner on my first day.

As the week went on, I continued to eat fast food for every meal, but I started to feel the effects of my diet. By the end of the week, I was feeling sluggish and tired.

I was also having difficulty sleeping, and my stomach was constantly churning from all the grease and fat.

I decided to go to the doctor to make sure I was still healthy, and they found that I had gained 5 kg since the start of the month.

They said the large amount of unhealthy fats and sugars in the fast food had caused my cholesterol and blood sugar levels to spike.

The doctor warned me to stop this diet immediately, but I was determined to complete the challenge. I continued to eat fast food for the next two weeks, and I started to notice other changes in my body.

My skin was looking dull and I was breaking out in acne.

My weight had also continued to increase, and by the end of the month I had gained 10 kg. I was exhausted and feeling embarrassed and ashamed of my body.

I was also having difficulty breathing and had developed high blood pressure.

At that point, I knew I had to end the challenge and get back to eating a healthy, balanced diet. I started to clean up my diet and cut out fast food altogether.

I also started exercising regularly and within a few months, I had lost all the weight I had gained.

I learned my lesson the hard way, and I will never try a fast food diet again. I realized that while fast food can be tasty, it’s best to eat it in moderation.

If I had listened to my doctor and stopped the challenge earlier, I could have avoided a lot of health issues and physical changes.

Can pedestrians feel safe anymore?

Saw a mother of 2 pushing a stroller along a narrow covered walkway, was startled when a speeding cyclist overtook just inches away. Heard her saying ‘On the road, have to give way, on pathway also have to give way.’

Being a pedestrian, especially with kids in tow, now seems like an extreme sport nowadays. Even PMDs are going fast on the pathway.

Can we feel safe walking anymore?

1. At least she’s pushing a stroller (assuming kid is strapped in). At the toddler-little kid stage, even if they’re holding hands, kids can be unpredictable and dash away from the parent suddenly. I’ve seen and experienced enough close shaves with PMDs on footpaths to help me determine that driving is the right way to a peace of mind, instead of having to be in a constant state of vigilance. Hats off to parents who have no choice and have to suffer silently. It got a lot worse post-2010.
   I’ve also seen nuisance PMDs deliberately scaring old people on the footpath. Really horrible and dangerous behaviour.
2. Lol I have a habit of looking over my shoulder whenever I am walking on a pavement. Can be such a pain at times so I am trying to get rid of it.
   Back to the main point, I think it’s safer if the cyclists rang their bells. At least give us a signal since you are in my blind spot. Some of them speed past me like they are in a race or something. If touch wood they hit me or something I will definitely pursue the matter.
3. Omg finally a post like this – fking cyclists ride under the HDB blocks now even!! I’m not even 30 but I worry for old people/young kids around. They whizz by so near u and I had one curse/swear at us when we didn’t want to give way. Fk off the pedestrian walkways jeez
4. I often end up walking on the grass and the road, or have to just stop in my tracks cause sometimes idk what they want me to do man. They cycle so fast and give no signals, and when both directions also have cyclists who don’t want to give way to each other…
   Bus stops are really bad too. My bus is coming and I move to queue for the bus, they zoom past me and glare at me. They never want to stop or use the directed path around the bus stop.
   I also don’t think our bike lanes are effective. Places in Europe have bike lanes at the same level as roads while walking paths are higher. I feel like this makes more sense but that’s just me 🤷🏼‍♀️
5. Y’all complaining about the user when the problem is the path we are using, better to segregate everyone to their own path, not mixing of bicycles, pedestrians and cars.

I’m not proud of what I did, but I was so scared my wife was cheating on me that I installed a CCTV camera at home.

It all started when I noticed that she was spending more time away from home and was often on her phone. She would always make up excuses, but I was always suspicious.

So one day, I decided to take matters into my own hands and bought a CCTV camera. I installed it in our bedroom and kept a watchful eye on her from then on.

I had no idea what I was going to do if I caught her cheating, but I just wanted to make sure she wasn’t doing anything behind my back.

The camera recorded everything that happened in our bedroom, and I was able to log in from anywhere to check what was happening.

I was so paranoid that I kept checking up on her every few hours. I was convinced that I was going to catch her red-handed, but the weeks passed and nothing happened.

I began to realize that I was being unreasonable and that my wife was probably just going through a hard time. I felt guilty for invading her privacy and decided to take the camera down.

She eventually found out about what I did and created a ruckus and I felt embarrassed that I had allowed myself to go to such extremes.

I know that I should have trusted her but I really cannot help it at times thinking that she would cheat on me because she is much younger than me and also quite good looking while I am turning into the age where people would call me ‘Uncle’.

I should learn to trust her and our relationship.

My girlfriend is accusing me of being gay because I didn’t cheat on her

So we’ve been together for about two years now. She’s always been the jealous type but it’s never bothered me because I’m not a very social person so I never felt she would have a reason to be jealous.

According to my GF, women often hit on me. I really don’t believe that is the case because I’m an average looking dude and don’t put myself out there like that. But she insists this is the case.

She has made multiple attempts to catfish me. It was painfully obvious what she was trying to do. She sent me a message like “I saw your post and you’re so funny, do you wanna hook up?” and attached a picture of an attractive woman. I knew it was BS and just replied “you’re not fooling anyone”.

The rest of the day she gave me the cold shoulder and had an attitude. When called her out she said “if you were a real man you wouldn’t have even responded to the message”

I handed her my phone and pass code and told her she can search everything. She did. She gave it back to me about an hour later. At this point I asked “did you find what you were looking for?” While laughing.

Now she is accusing me of being gay. She didn’t find any messages between me and other women. My search history is mostly about the shows I watch and recipes I want to cook, also some medical questions about my pets. She said if I’m not seeking out other women I must be gay.

What the hell am I supposed to do? I did nothing wrong and somehow I’m still the bad guy. She told me to leave the house because she doesn’t want to see me. Also called her family and said I’m gay and now her brother wants to fight me.

I lent my bf $4000 and now that im struggling w money he won’t pay me back.

I’m not sure if I’m being selfish and I’ve been contemplating on posting this for a few days. Basically about a year or two ago I lent my bf $4000 over the period of a few months we were living together at the time and splitting bills so I had extra money on the side to help him out, we never discussed him paying me back at the time but he did mention he would eventually.

Now I’m moved out on my own paying almost $1000 a month for rent and barely making enough at my new job.

I contacted my bf via text messages explaining how stressed and overwhelmed I am with my bills and I asked if he’d be able to lend me $1000 or $2300 that I would pay back to him within a month or so and he immediately refused.

I felt really bad because it’s already embarrassing to me to have to ask my partner for money because I simply can’t make it for myself right now and I thought maybe he didn’t understand the situation I was in so I guess I sort of started to beg him for it and I brought up that I lent him some money a year or so back and that he could just call it even on that money.

To which he replied calling me selfish and telling me I must have only lent him the money in the first place so I could “use it against him in the future”

he then told me I’m never going to get that money back from him so I might as well drop it and accused me of trying to “use him” for his money.

Now some of you may say maybe he’s broke and me asking him for money made him feel embarrassed or something but my bf is a business owner who runs a very successful business, he has a brand new 2022 car and he has at least $30,000 that I know he has.

Im really not sure if he is right and I am being completely selfish and messed up for feeling bad and thinking he should pay me back or if I’m right for feeling some type of way.

Breaking up after BTO

Dear All,

I need some advice, I have recently broken up with my partner.

Currently we have a BTO going but my partner wants to withdraw from it and is requesting us to go HDB to get back our stamp duty. But I really wants the house.

As he/she doesn’t have CPF back then I paid the full 10% CPF deposit for the house & we only shared the cost for the stamp duty.

My partner wanted the stamp duty refund so much that he/she went to made a police report against me for not following the request to proceed to cancel the HDB.

Q1. I read somewhere that it is possible to change the ownership to my future partners (if any) name? is this true?

Q2. If my partner insist on cancelling the BTO to get the stamp duty & brought me to court for this. Can he/she actually win the case and kick my rights to the BTO?

Netizens’ comments

1. U can’t change the name unless ur ex agree to it.u have to give up ur flat
2. I’ve had a friend been in a similar situation before. You can swap out your ex’s name but you need to have a new partner that you want to have the BTO with. Also, this is on a case by case basis up to the discretion of HDB. Ie for my friends case, couple was on a break and the guy had a one night stand with my friend and ended up getting pregnant and since a child is already on the way and they are getting married, HDB allowed the swap
3. Your argument seems to only revolve around the fact that you paid your 10% and you really want the flat but that’s not how the world works.
4. I mean, I’m not an expert for HDB but for Qn 1, the BTO policy is for couples who are going to be married. that’s literally the point of BTO. you have broken up, you currently have no partner, you (i assume) r not gonna be married anytime soon. You cannot just make up some exception about changing ownership in respect of a non-existent partner because you ‘really want the house’. Yeah no shit, there is a shortage, many many couples (who have not broken up) really want the house.
5. I don’t think you have a choice in any of this. If ur not gonna get married. You can’t have the house. Your only option left is to make sure she pays half of the deposit

What phone/texting things that some older generation still do that, in the current age, is unacceptable? What’s yours? I’ll start…

Receiving a text with “can you call me back?”. Just that. No intro, no context.

To me this is the most anxiety inducing message one can receive. The most recent time happened to me got me anxious. Called back and the person was not answering. Created so much anxiety for a few hours that I can’t focus.

When we finally talk, it was that the person wanted to invite me to a show they’re putting up at Christmas. Urgh.

• good morning whatsapp picture/quotes .. i dont really have a big problem with it but its so awkward and idk how to reply. but if i don’t reply i will look rude tho 😫
• In a similar vein, those WhatsApp stickers, pictures, and even videos whenever there’s a festive holiday.
  Xmas send one time, dong zhi send one time, new year one time, CNY another time. Then you multiply that with about 10 adults who are around 40 to 50 y/o. You can see how it gets spam-filled very easily.
• In relation to OP’s example, really don’t like when people text “Hi ____” and nothing more. Then its on you to type a hi back, then wait for the other person to come back online, then type in whatever the fk they intended to say or ask in the first place. Ultimate time wasters.
• understand not everyone can multitask but boomers coming to a full stop in the middle of a crowded walkway to send a text/fiddle with their phone are the worst.
• Anyone writing texts with more emojis 🧘🏻‍♂️🌍🌦️🍞🚗📞🎉❤️🍆🍑 than words.
  We haven’t communicated with hieroglyphs since 300AD. If you’re going to write like ancient Egyptians, I am just going to assume that you are really old.
• The usual “Happy Birthday ____! 🎉🥳🎂🎁🎈🎊” in family whatsapp groups and sadly I myself have became accustomed to it
• Typing their messages like this…for some reason…they like to put multiples fullstops…makes everyone sound like they are ‘done with life’…
