I'd like to drink here and there but I simply don't dare because I know I'll succumb to it immediately. I watched my friends drink, they've always seemed so cheerful at it. But every time they invite me with them, I pass, unless we meet during daytime, and even then I order tea.
Last drink I had was 2 years ago, a glass of fine aged rum, older than me. It was amazing. But no more. I cannot indulge into anything, for I'll slip and fall way too soon.

I won't encourage you to drink, al/ck/nons. But when you do, take a sip for me, if possible

>Old people forget how debit cards work on a regular basis
Only had this happen once but it was incredibly frustrating
>I don't understand why this is asking for numbers, do I need to type in my card
>Sir if you're using a debit card you have a pin unless it also has a credit option
>This is my only bank card, it's not for credit and I use it everywhere
>Alright but you have to have a PIN number with it for a transaction to go through, like the one you use at an ATM
>I don't know what you're talking about, it doesn't have that. I'm going to type my card's numbers in

He only cashed out after my co-worker asked what his secret card number was

>check goes through scanner
>gets rejected because they haven't withdrawn from their account using a check for a certain period of time
>have to spend thirty minutes explaining the situation as they start raging/crying or exchange their personal information over the phone in order to get approval for the transaction

This thread is making me regret the amount of times I've eaten food from trash bins/dumpster diving. I feel really gross and somewhat lucky that I haven't caught any diseases or food poisoning from doing it.

We do but it feels pretty awkward. I feel like my parents are just wired to the idea because they're both from large families that always had someone at home doing the cooking and making a big meal for dinner. They don't actually get along that well either so we always eat in silence or my dad will do something like turn the tv on loudly in the living room or have a scanner going. He'll also flip out on my mother if she makes something he doesn't want to eat or if she prepares dinner with the same item multiple times in one week (like having two meals with mashed potatoes on the side).

I'm not sure if they're aware but I intentionally work a mid shift to avoid these things
