    Can I ask in all seriousness the ladies on site (without any auntie jokes) after reading comments in the piss you off thread how can a bloke complement you on your appearance without offending?

    By doing it with sincerity and without an ulterior motive.

    Unfortunately, the latter especially, rarely exists.

    plus there's a difference between a compliment and being Pervy.

    I'm sure Laura will correct me if I'm wrong, but if a male colleague complimented her hair, or clothes in a sincere way it would be fine.

    But basically saying "YOU'RE ATTRACTIVE!" is weird.

     

     

    Definitely.

     

    It's a weird compliment at the best of times. But we'd just met, he called me attractive; it's creepy.

     

    And as I said, it wasn't because he thought I was attractive, it was because he was trying to sell me something. Which just makes it even more annoying.

  3. When I first became, erm... Sexually developed, I used to masturbate to "the box" because music videos were the only remotely sexy thing I could find on our TV.

    Plus, I used to wipe the... Remnants... Down the inside of the chair under the cushion. Then my mom was cleaning one day and found the huge horrible dry patch of man mayonnaise and asked me what it was.

    I thought, at the time, that I'd successfully convinced her that I'd spilt her moisturiser down there.

    But I bet she knew...

     

    I used to fancy you.

  4. Shit takeaways.

     

    I've had yet another extra long day at work, as a treat I'll grab something on my way home.

     

    I'd have been better off with plan a - the packet of supernoodles in my cupboard.

     

    If I need to season a chow mein, you're doing it wrong...

  5. When sales people try and chat you up. I'm not more likely to buy from you because you insincerely complimented me.

     

    I've just come from a meeting where when a guy got my business card he said 'Ahhh 'Laura'... That just proves my theory that everyone called Laura is attractive.'

     

    Do one.

  6. Got the full online quote for mine when I took it in.

     

    Some of them may well try and knock you down a bit (though they didn't in my case), but if you haven't lied on the online form, then stick to your guns and they'll give you a decent deal. If not, tell them to do one and sell it privately (you're under no obligation to sell to them)

     

    Jon's right, you've got nothing to lose by seeing how it goes.

    Anyone ever used tinder? My mate set me up with it and there's something wonderfully liberating about just clicking yes or no on people.

    I've used it and still do.

    Not to meet women (I have a gf now)

    It's just quite amusing.

    Ahhh you can't get away with it that easily, details please. Here or private message is fine, thank you. :D

    :D what do you want to know?

     

     

     

    EVERYTHING. :D

    Soooooo............. Did you......?

     

    Nope, I did not. I did tell her I know this guy and hes a relatively good friend. She was utterly mortified, to be expected I suppose. I think im seeing her again, but not sure. Im a little worried however that she was always be known as the girl who banged my friend out of pity. This would tarnish things slightly.

     

    Anyway, im just out of a batshitcrazy relationship with a batshitcrazy girl who can be best described as batshitcrazy. I fully intend to have zero commitment to anyone in my life for the forsseable future.

     

     

    What kind of girl admits to a pity f*ck on a first date?!

  10. Bought my first ever car from a private seller in November, it got towed away on my first day of ownership, broke down practically every day afterwards for 2 weeks and the seller wanted nothing to do with me, said it was fine when he had it. (Of course...)

     

    Following numerous repair bills and no resolve, I decided it was time to cut my losses and sell it to webuyanycar as I didn't want to pass a problematic car onto an end user and budget meant I couldn't part ex.

     

    Got a quote online, half what I paid (to be expected I suppose) and booked an appointment.

     

    Got a call from them an hour later, my car had outstanding finance and they wouldn't buy it.

     

    So it turns out they don't buy any car....

     

    I had been sold a car with a fuckload of problems & after all the money I plowed into it; I now realised I didn't technically even own it too. Ace.

     

    Not really a webuyanycar story, but I feel better for sharing.

     

    PS. The car and I are now fine.

  11. My biggest real life achievement (passing my driving test first time in November at the age of 28 after being petrified of driving for 10 years) is properly shit in comparison to most average people, let alone an Olympic Medalist and Championship Footballer.

     

    We all need to take up an obscure sport and become excellent at it, so we can be a forum full of winners.

     

    I'll take Beer Pong. You guys?

  12. It passed an MOT 3 days before I bought it. Broke down and got towed away on my first day of ownership (and driving...)

     

    Battery completely loose inside the car, so it had messed around with the electrics.

     

    The guy had clearly gone to sell the car and thought, I'll have that battery and put a shit one in. Changed it in a hurry, didn't bolt it down properly and for my first month I had nothing but electrical fun.

     

    TOUCH WOOD, currently, it's alright. Apart from geting frozen on the inside as well as the outside of the windscreen.
