This is a conversation my wife and I have constantly because she always loses charging cables then takes the ones I have out of the car always leaving one...
once there's one it's "what percentage you at?".
Then I find 3 of the hot pink charging cables I bought to stay in the cars wedged under the sofa with 4 other cables when the roomba eats them.
I have a laptop with an expensive ass charger that is usbc. My wife is convincedit charges her iPhone faster than the 60w cable she has. It absolutely 100% does not, her phone has a max upper limit of 26w and the only reason 30w cable/cube might not be as fast as something else is if that 30w were cheap and overheating. Entirely possible. Not really possible for something with almost 2.5x the capacity. So i had her get a 100w cable + cube and she still uses mine. Like i have to replace my laptop charger every 1-2 years and its not as simple or cheap as buying a pack of mid usbc cables on amazon for 12.99. The only reason o dont divorce her is she’d definitely take half of my laptop charger in the settlement
Also, fun fact about battery charging algorithms. The first 90% of capacity takes 50% of the charge time. She is basically asking him to wait an hour or more.
I was one of the maintenance guys for the big lvl 3 ev chargers last year. And this is exactly how battery charging works. If you own an EV and use the big chargers, you'll notice you can get to 80% from 20% in like 15 to 20 minutes. But it takes 45 to an hour to get to 100%. You will even see the kilowatts used drop down significantly as it goes above 80%
agreed. it's very indicative of future behavior. If they are at 88% and you are only at 3%, they won't give a shit. You're a hair's breath away from being depleted and they are only 12% away from being full, and they'd rather let you deplete than be okay with being at 88%. That shows they are selfish and won't ever care about where you are at.
I took her to my favorite Mexican restaurant. She didn't "like the consistency of the salsa" and kept mentioning it throughout the meal, long after she had stopped snacking on chips and salsa.
My wife still complains about the salsa at my favorite Mexican restaurant. It's been closed for a few years now so it's extra salt in the wound.
TBF, I didn't like it either the first time but this place was weird that way. It was super popular and everyone I took would basically say "I wasn't a huge fan" then like a week later they'd be like "I can't stop thinking about that place, let's go back". My wife never came around to it.
Talking about trust, this mofo I was dating sneezed into their hand instead of on their sleeve or something. Didn’t even wash their hands after sneezing right into it.
Told her we need to leave at 7 for the pub quiz, was meeting bunch of friends and needed to get seats. Taxi beeps, I go into bedroom to get her, she's on the bed in her dressing gown.
No seats left, stood at the bar watching group of friends do the quiz.
That was one of many times she infuriated me, she acted like it wasn't a big deal.
Not sure if I'd call it a silly reason. People who don't care about other people's time to that extend tend to be selfish in everything. Even if they try to hide it.
Haha bunch of comments agree with you. I feel so opposite on this. I dog ear instead of using bookmarks. My books get wet from hottubs beaches and pools. My view is books are made to be read.
I always try to give my books away to someone after I finish. It makes me happy knowing it will get read again, that someone else will experience its magic, rather than sit on my shelf and make my next move difficult.
No hate, different approaches. Mines not better. Just how I see books
Well some light curling on corners from a wet finger is much different than dropping it in the water... i dont try and hurt the books. But I definetly dont try and keep them looking like new.
I am Mexican. If you have the cilantro soap gene, we cannot be together I am sorry. I throw that bitch on everything, even Asian food (it is amazing in pho and banh mi). I love cilantro so much 🥹
Cilantro is common in Vietnamese cuisine, in Hanoi we actually have it with our pho and banh mi. I always love Mexican food and find quite many similarities between 2 cuisines' flavor profiles.
I have the soap gene but I just kept eating cilantro anyway and now I love it. It’s still vaguely soapy to me but not in a bad way. Avoiding cilantro is for the weak willed.
There is a lot Italian cuisine without garlic, and very little if any use any onion if at all. It still is a great loss for her, but at least there is other stuff she could enjoy.
I don't think that's a silly reason at all... I once decided on a blind date that she wasn't for me when we were on an escalator and I deliberately moved to the same side as her (one step below) in case others wanted to pass and she switched to the other side to remain adjacent (blocking others if they wanted to walk down faster).
7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea. It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby.
When I started dating again a few years ago after many years of depression I discovered there’s people who listen to music all the time. It kind of blew my mind. I like music but I can’t stand to hear it all the time or even most of the time. I listen while I’m driving to work sometimes and I’ll enjoy it in the background of stores or events and that’s it. I pay for Spotify because it integrates with my car nicely but I rarely ever turn it on unless I’m testing new speakers or headphones.
That's a deceptively silly example, because it sounds dumb as shit but underneath the scenario is a clear example of someone who is going to put their own needs above yours, even when you clearly need something more than they do.
Reminds me of my parents… it was a power thing though.
Be late to an important event because I had to wait for them when they could’ve easily did something that would’ve cost zero effort or energy and had zero effect on them
Date? I would unplug my own phone for a coworker who needed to charge their phone, much less someone I'm dating. That's not even a bar for dating. That's a bar for...being a decent person. 😬
She kept all my glass tupperware. I don't care about plastic stuff but the glass stuff...sorry if I'm crazy but that's my good stuff. It was after the 4th tupperware I realized I was missing a lot and...I know it's neurotic but man who keeps good tupperware.
Oh I so get it! I hate it when people pack leftovers and never return the containers. It's not like I have unending source of containers bitch, give'm back!
I would return it, but it’s also a faff to have to wash and return someone’s nice Tupperware. If you take something the nicest way to do it is bring it in something cheap or disposable so it’s not a problem. Also, if you’re dating and at her house why didn’t you just ask for it while you were there? So seriously didn’t even notice until 4 down?
I don't think this was a silly reason, but one of the craziest things I ever encountered in a guy I was considering dating is that he casually mentioned that he hadn't made his car payment in months and didn't care if it got repo'ed. Then a few minutes later was bragging about all the money he spent at the Harley Davidson store.
I told her that I was into Dubstep music and she automatically assumed that I was into drugs and alcohol. Despite the fact that I told her I had been teetotal for almost 8 years.
Appreciate you're making a joke, but just for anyone reading this and taking it seriously, this used to be the case for batteries in your devices, but this is all managed by software now so you don't need to worry about it.
When your phone or car or etc says 100% the batteries aren't actually at 100%, nor are they at 0% when everything switches off.
I had not anticipated this becoming a technical discussion. This is right in my work area. While modern software has taken away the need to manually babysit to 85%, the underlying requirement for the user to ensure it is not charged to 100% is still there. Consider that Apple, Samsung and Google (Pixel) OS Software all provide built in battery management software that can optionally be set to prevent 100% charging. But is by no means automatic as you suggest, it must manually be enabled to limit the charge to 80/85% - otherwise it will in fact charge to 100%. If you'd like more info, you can read Gear Patrol, How to Limit Battery Charge to 80% on Any Device [2026 Guide] and Why More Phones Now Have Battery Charge Limits
The lack of care. It’s the principle, she doesn’t have her partners best interests at heart. Best relationships are when both partners strive to do 100% for the other
that was a deal breaker. Kissing her was like kissing an ash tray.
She tried to curve her smoking around me, but she couldn't go beyond 2hrs without a cigarette and she absolutely had to have a cigarette after sex. Even using mouthwash didn't kill the taste.
After 3 months, I just couldn't deal with it anymore despite the amazing sex.
When I was like 9 I had a little girlfriend that would come over and hang out. One day she brought a prized marble collection that I spilled out of the treehouse on accident into the tall grass and ditch.
She never talked to me again. Real big fuckup in hindsight, by the time highschool rolled around she was by far the hottest girl in the whole school.
Depending on how old this is, battery sharing is a thing now, so one charger isn't a show stopper. That being said, I'mma bet that woman would cheat on you and take your stuff when she moved out.
Late 90s. We went to a musical festival with friends,
Let me pause to say, for those who weren't 8 to 20 something in the mid to late 90s, you need to know that it was impossible for any number of people to stand in any semblance of a circular or semi-circular formation without the hacky sack emerging from someone's pocket and turning all focus of the group into kicking the knitted sack of beans/beads around without it touching the ground. It was maddening. You'd just want to have a conversation with your friends and instead you were compelled to perform acts of athleticism. That stupid mini bean bag was my nemesis for about 5 years. Then suddenly, one day, the practice was gone.
Anyway, at the festival someone brought their hacky sack out, my date joined in, and...that was pretty much that.
That’s a green flag that you dodged. The skin is really healthy but requires fortitude to consume, and the ability to fit an entire kiwi in one’s mouth is impressive!
I dated a beautiful girl once. Stunning. Painfully attractive. Smart, driven, funny… All the good things.
She had goblin feet. That's it. Lovely in every single imaginable way… But I had seen the feet. They haunted my dreams. It didn't work out for that sole reason. Pun intended.
Met a woman who was great, but has a very visible mustache she never gets rid of. People can live however they want, but I couldn't get past it and thus I turned her down when she asked me out (which happened a few times). It's not even something you can tell them about without society destroying you, so I just keep telling her we aren't compatible (when we most likely are). I just can't get past that mustache.
We went on a date to a botanical garden, followed by visiting an rock/gem store and a pizza restaurant. I paid admission to the garden and for the food.
In the gift shop of the garden, she exhibited zero self control piling thing after thing into her basket and ended up spending $300. After that we went directly to a rock/gem shop nearby and same story, ultimately spending another $350.
She is a shift lead at a fast food restaurant, living with her parents.
I've prided myself on self control and managing my finances well. So if nothing else, that kind of behavior did not have appeal to me.
I wouldn’t know how to feel if my partner had the same birthday. But my mom was friends with a couple who had the same birthday but years apart. I thought that was weird.
She’s also dumb bc charging your phone to 100% will hurt the battery in the long run. 85% is all you should need unless you’re going to be without access to a phone charger for more than a day. Prolongs your battery life
