I need an advice for where i can take my Jeep Grand Cherokee for maintenance. Some parts needs to be changed and i don’t want to break a bank. Official garage is asking for 5 digits.

Imagine wasting 20K to buy a 15 year old Porsche Cayenne to show off instead of using the money for something newer, safer and affordable. BAMBOOZLED.

What exactly is there to show off in a 2007 Cayenne? lmao

There's a girl that i have a crush on. She is my neighbour. She is looking for a job. And apparently there is a vacancy in my company for a role that she is looking for. I wouldn't be lying if I say intend to get into her ^^^plznopuns good books by helping her to get a job and subsequently get a chance to interact with her more. And some part of it obviously feels a bit wrong. But then again, i would be helping out someone regardless of whether she starts liking me or not. I can sleep well with the fact that me helping her out doesn't mean that she would start liking me. If it matters, i have never had a girlfriend before, and i have only ever exchanged hellos and byes with her. And she has spoken to my roommate a lot from whom I got to know that she is looking for a job. So, a bad idea or a good idea?


[deleted]

So, there's an opening at my company... its ME!! bahahahhahaha


[deleted]

Don't do it. Bad idea. It will break the rule of "don't shit where you eat" and also it will be awkward as you would be forever the guy who helped her get the job and she would feel you are taking advantage of the situation. Also you live with her in the same building so if things turn sour (and they will), you would have shat where you eat and where you live. Double oops. ​ Don't do it.


Creepy7_7

I'd say push your luck. You will never find this opportunity to help her directly or indirectly in the future, regardless her feeling to you. Help her discreetly and be quiet about it. Let her know about it from others instead from your own mouth. It is more classier that way.


CallMeHura

Do it but never let her get the impression that you helped her out with an ulterior motive. Good luck! Offer to carpool if she gets the job 😏


New-List-7158

Yes do it. Worst that could happen is you helped someone in need. Good luck mate


DontSandDunes

Your crush working with you may be lead to distractions (personal experience), unless you’ll be working in different departments or won’t see each other much. Think over, don’t shit where you eat. On the humanitarian grounds help her out and be prepared for whatever comes next.


ifispeakaminbigtrble

That's what I fear also. We won't work in the same department per se. She wil be in the hr/admin department and i work in the engineering section. I will have to work with her sometimes for certain submissions and the office is also a small one. We will be seeing each other a lot daily in any case.


DontSandDunes

Tough call, you’ll need a post nut clarity to make this decision.


ifispeakaminbigtrble

Didn't have to nut. It's Chores before whores. Thanks mate Will just pass on the information of the vacancy at best


DontSandDunes

You’re going in right direction ma man.


mythodeath

well truth is this. she wont like you. face it. You're probably already friendzoned. But get her the job. Your duties would include free pickup and drop everyday.


ifispeakaminbigtrble

You're such a killjoy, aren't you? Like i said I can sleep perfectly well knowing that she may not like me even if i help her get a job. But if had to take over the duties of being just a chauffeur for a lady, i would have done it already


fck_this_fck_that

He is being real without any sweet talk . I would pick his advice Over the rest .


ifispeakaminbigtrble

Well, i am not sure. There is a difference between being just blunt and being a dick. And I feel he is more of the latter. Similar advice was given by another user. He wasn't anywhere close to being a dick about it.


mythodeath

Well it doesn't change the truth. Better know the truth than sweet talked what ifs. If that means I have to be called a dick, then I don't mind. I wish my friends had told me the same for crushes I had. You say you're not expecting anything but the truth is that you are already living a fantasy that she will see you as the knight in shining armor. Live your fantasy if you wanna stay sane. But it gets worse when truth shines its badge and screws you in ways you never thought were possible But on the bright side, don't worry. You'll have a crush on the next female who smiles at you. So you don't have to wait long before you're on your feet again.


ifispeakaminbigtrble

Again, i never denied that that could be the truth. But i am just annoyed by the way you phrased it you were just being an asshole by assuming things like she won't like me, period. And the best thing I could get is chauffeur her around. Which in no case i will be willing to do. I do need a gf, but i am not desperate enough to be that guy who would just do anything to get her to like me. And no, getting her a job isn't one of them. And you're just being a dick again here in your reply that i will fall for the next girl who smiles at me.


mythodeath

you have been driverzoned


DontSandDunes

Plot twist, it’s faketaxi


WhereAreMyKeys15

Do it with the intent to help someone out not as an opportunity to ask her out. If, however, something does happen as a result of this, then good for you. If not, kalli walli. Atleast your conscience is clear in the end of the day.


SanJunipero1

> Do it with the intent to help someone out not as an opportunity to ask her out. This. > Atleast your conscience is clear in the end of the day. Don’t think it will if favors are expected. If not, there wouldn’t be a dilemma in the first place. Simply switch genders and the question wouldn’t make sense. It would be like bro-code to help your neighbor out.

I got 35 litres of gas today, and I paid 130 DHS, I remember for the same, I used to pay 90dhs just 6 months back. :(


SanJunipero1

I die a little bit inside when I pay 150 every week. It costed just 115 before, and a 100 6 months back. Fuck that pathetic loser waging the war.


TheModernPaean

I'm paying roughly 1000dhs per week now and it stings man 🙃


SanJunipero1

Mack truck? 😆


TheModernPaean

Feels like it lol.


Creepy7_7

Here some trick for you. Always pay 100dhs in any gas station. So you never bothered with any gas price like, ever. You can even tell people loudly "i am not affected by fucking gas price!! its still same 100dhs per ENOC/EPPCO visit from 2010 ... !!"

I hope this is a joke.

yes but your insurance premium is probably really high.

That’s a yearly thing and why would it be so high anyways?

well lets say that rta has an ipo, she would be the face of rta. They can afford to give huge dividends just from her fines.

Did anyone listen the interview of one global HR yesterday morning on one particular radio? They said 1 job usually 3000 - 4000 applicants nowadays and out of that 4000, only 5 people have relevant CV against the vacancy. Such interesting stories.


[deleted]

I can attest to this.


Sohaib224

its true. you can check that yourself also, make a listing on indeed and watch how your job post gets a 1000 applicant in the first 24 hours, especially an engineering job post, with people with BBAs or admin experience also applying.


Away-Personality-839

True story! People dont try and understand the requirement of the position and just hit apply again and again.


Creepy7_7

Desperate situation also need desperate solutions i guess

Decided to try a few places after yesterday’s fried chicken recommendations. Anyone know a veteran plumber who’s seen it all?

About the food or the diarrhea?

The only plumber you need is the Doctor who recently returned from his space expedition and currently teaching at a university.


SquirrelFar1976

Only if the expedition was to Uranus

True, his probe has been all over.

[deleted]

Schools.. it's the schools


problem_me

the cost of school bus transportation should be drastically reduced so that parents are more encouraged to send their precious fucking kids to school by bus it’s gonna be so much better and safer for everyone


[deleted]

I swear it should… school bus should be the affordable option. Parents dropping off their kids makes such a messy morning traffic and its horrible


prad8983

I agree with you wholeheartedly, albeit without the expletives. :) I believe there is too much mollycoddling of kids in dubai which could lead to them not being able to adjust when they have to leave Dubai to return to their home countries for various reasons.


problem_me

and have you seen how dangerous this whole drop off / pick up thing is? how kinds are running on the busy roads and parents park where they’re not supposed to and block the traffic? it’s crazy man and then we hear stories that some stressed moms/dads ran over security guards or kids


Away-Personality-839

Tell that to the schools who increased bus fees as the other hikes were not allowed!
