Giving Away This Knife To A Random Commenter

Giving Away This Knife To A Random Commenter

I originally planned to give the prize to whoever had the most upvotes on their comment, but some of the upvote activity looks suspicious. To keep things fair, I’ll put all eligible commenters’ usernames into a random wheel spinner to choose the winner.

To qualify, you must upvote the post and have a legitimate account with at least

50 contributions and 50 karma points.

Once this giveaway is finished, I’ll host another one. Good luck, everyone! Give away will be on 9/13 or 9/14

The speakerphone paradox

The speakerphone paradox

I was at the pool today when a woman started having a conversation on her phone using the speaker.

I politely asked her if she could not use the speaker and pointed to my headphones.
She said, “I don’t have headphones.”
So I said, “You can just hold the phone next to your ear.”

She looked at me with a completely blank expression and said, “I’m on speakerphone.”
I said, “Well… that’s the problem.”

Apparently, we had reached the limits of modern technology.

Girl I’m seeing showed up 40 minutes early to see how I actually live

I’m 28M, been seeing a 27F for about a month. We’ve gone out 5 times and things have been going pretty well.

This weekend she was supposed to come over for dinner for the first time. We agreed on 7, but at like 6:20 she texted saying she was outside. I told her I wasn’t ready yet and she said that was kinda the point because she wanted to see what my apartment looked like before I had time to clean specifically for her.

I laughed because I thought she was joking but she actually came up. My place wasn’t dirty or anything, I just had laundry on a chair and groceries still sitting on the counter. She started looking around and said something like “okay this is much more useful than seeing the version you prepared for me.”

It rubbed me the wrong way. I have my life together, decent job, some money saved, keep my place clean etc, so I don’t really understand why I needed some surprise inspection.

She thinks it was funny and says I’m making it more serious than it was.

Am I overthinking this or is showing up early on purpose to catch someone unprepared actually kinda strange?
