SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: Reddit, what are your awful customer service stories? POST: So no shit, there I was, trying to get the shattered face of my cell phone repaired. A wild Groupon appeared in my inbox offering a discounted repair from a local and new shop. Naively, I figured this was fantastic - I can support nearby businesses AND get a new screen for my cell phone! Here's how things went down - Day 1 - Called the store in the afternoon to see if I could come in later. The guy I talked to asked i

SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: My parents [62m, 59f] are threatening to disown me [26m] until I "grow up". POST: I've always been the black sheep. They're hyper-competitive, I'm not. They enjoy hunting, I don't. Work's their life and I've been on an extended vacation since '08. You get the idea. So the short and tall of it is that I dropped out and entered the work force as soon as I possibly could. I saved every penny, moved out on my eighteenth and bought some land and what would nowadays be called a

Talked to her a bit on Facebook but didn't see her much for the next month. After like 2 weeks of not seeing her or talking to her much I saw her pop u

POST: Here's the story: I was driving home from seeing the meteor shower. On the way, I saw flashes of light in the corner of my eye. I turn and look and there were 4 lights in the sky. I instantly assumed UFO because it looked just like the [Phoenix Lights] but orange and a hell of a lot closer. At this point I'm losing my shit and I need to pull over so I don't cr

SUBREDDIT: r/Advice TITLE: Don't know if I'm missing the hint or overthinking it. POST: I've been on 2 dates with this girl and everything has gone really well. Both times we had a lot of fun and really have no reason to not continue it. But, when we text each other she takes forever to respond. Usually a day between each text, and it has me curious if she actually really does like going out with me even though she says she does and I can tell she really enjoys going out. Her texts are also very enthusiast

Fast forward two years (I'm now a freshman in college) - we're still good friends, and talk fairly often and very openly.

My life isn't something to be proud of, but not even miserable. After all I wake up whenever I want, I live with my dear family who loves and who I love, I have no job so I can literally do whatever I want throughout the day, and I can go to sleep whenever I want.

He doesn't do this that much anymore and considering that I was a bit late i was grateful. (Yes I know tuna for breakfast is strange. It never happens much because I'm usually making my own lunch.)

She left me a few months ago, and frankly it's been really hard. I thought I would be over it by now but I just can't help feel this emptiness inside. I haven't talked to my friends in years and have been fairly depressed for quite a while. That's probably why she left - however I realize now it was her making me feel that way.
