Reply to comment by Admirable-Ad-805 in TIFU by not telling my girlfriend I was friends with benefits with her cousin before by Admirable-Ad-805
I'm going to put that down as "girl you were kind of seeing" with that, and the rest of the context in the story.
I do agree there's a FU here though, you should have told the new girl you'd had a thing with her cousin in the past, and, taking new girl to old girls house was... an interesting choice.
I can imagine the in family gossip at this point...

FWB does not mean what you think it means... you were a virgin, so at most you had a friend with whom you wished you had benefits.

You write all of that and drop in hints of possibly even funnier stories; I find myself disappointed is was only hints.

If you think they're likely to catch you anyway, then it may be best to own up to it and apologise. It does seem to be a genuine error rather than intentional theft...
You may still be fucked, but, it may give you a chance to get away with a disciplinary instead of being fired.

Yeah, you need to warn the guy...
If you like him try to talk to him, but, he may be squeamish about this.

There's something about the writing here that makes me think this is fiction- in I'm wrong, and this is true; you've just created a core comedic memory you can both laugh over.

I agree this was not a FU by OP, but I think you're being a bit harsh on these guys by putting them at the same level as that piece of excrement.
They're utter pieces of shit, but, not on his level
Edit - missing words can be important... added a crucial not.

Yes, but they're incredibly unstable due to being highly radioactive. We make them by firing certain atoms at a target using particle accelerators

Reply to LPT: Before claiming right of way always seek eye contact with the other driver by patrickdm1998
Yes, this is great advice as both a driver and a pedestrian.
I never have an issue at zebra crossings as I am predictable, I make sure I've been seen, and I approach a crossing clearly. I've seen too many pedestrians walking along the path and go to cross without looking, or making it at all clear they're about to cross.

It blows my mind how often I see stuff on here about parents essentially stealing from their children.
For all of the many many faults of my mother, I'm very happy to say that she's been a financial support rather than a financial burden.

Reply to Eli5:How does conversion from celsius to Fahrenheit work and is there a "linear correlation" by Moewillgo
Yes, if you look at the liquid range of water you see it's 32-212 if F, or 0-100 in C. (212-32)/(100-0) shows that there's 1.8 change in F for every change of 1C.
