I Don't Often Resort To Coming Here For Advice, but f@#% it.

[BostonBum0]

I need some advice on what could be a life changing decision.

I've suspected for some time now that my girlfriend has been cheating on me. The usual signs. Phone rings, I answer, someone hangs up. She started going out 'with the girls' a lot recently although when I ask which girls it is always "Just some friends from work, you don't know them".

I always look out for her ride coming home but she always walks from around the corner, I can usually hear a car driving off as she walks towards our house. If it really is a taxi why not just get dropped off in front? I once picked her cell phone up just to see what time it was and she went berserk and screamed that I should never touch her phone again, and why was I checking up on her.

Anyway, I have never approached the subject with my girlfriend. I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth but last night she went out again and I decided to check on her. I decided I was going to hide behind my truck, which would give me a view of the whole street so I could see which car she was getting out of. It was while I was crouched behind my truck that I noticed rust on my exhaust tip.

Should I take it to the dealer for replacement, or should I just take the opportunity to buy the aftermarket 3" I've been looking at. Its a big decision so I thought I would ask for your advice. Maybe I'll just try to buff it out.

[CLWheeljack]

I notice that "leave the rust alone and hope it'll go away" isn't an option. Because it really isn't. The fact that you have questions about whether you need to replace it or not means that you do.

[WarrenM]

I've read this before, I think. Where is it from?

[SolomonGrundy]

Well, I have an aftermarket on my car (2002 WRX) and that Exhaust has lasted over 150k. So yeah, dump the girlfriend if she is making you paranoid, and use the saved money on an expensive exhaust system. It will last longer than your car.

[Bill Dungsroman]

Drive it out to the middle of the desert, slash the tires, take a dump in the backseat, set it on fire and then collect the insurance on it.

Er wait, what was this thread about again?

Er wait...

Dude, we don't need to hear about your prom again.

[Creole Ned]

I read the letters you print and always thought "These have to be made up!" but then last week this happened to me! I know this is going to sound like a crazy fantasy but every word of this is true. I was working late one night when...

Er wait, what was this thread about again?

Is this before or after you removed the body from the car?

[Jag]

If you are seeking car advice from the internet, you have bigger problems.

[Demon G Sides]

OH HI 4CHAN, HOW AWESOME FOR YOU TO HAVE ARRIVED.

There are many possibilities.

Hey, do you know why they call it the Xbox360?? Because when you see it, you turn around and walk away!!!

[John Many Jars]

Your girlfriend is a slut. Put your mouth on the exhaust and leave it there.

[Raife]

TL;DR

[Tim James]

My advice: don't overcapitalize thread titles.

[Jon Rowe]

Really?

[jellyfish]

Hey, do you know why they call it the Xbox360?? Because when you see it, you turn around and walk away!!!
But then shouldn't it be called the xbox180? Or am I over thinking this? Or is that the joke and I just didn't get it?

[Raife]

No, you're right. With an XBox360, you just spin around in one place until it gets repaired. Again.

It's been floating around for at least four or five years.

Er wait, what was this thread about again?

Ha! I like the idea.

If you are seeking car advice from the internet, you have bigger problems.

SA actually has some really good threads on car advice. It's seeking interpersonal relationship advice on the internet that is dangerous.

OH HI 4CHAN, HOW AWESOME FOR YOU TO HAVE ARRIVED.

Uhhh, not to my knowledge....Are you some type of /b-tard? If so, you'd know better than I would.

My advice: don't overcapitalize thread titles.

Ouch. I was grammar Nazi'd on a cut and paste job.

Really?

No, not at all. I intended this as a....well...yeah... It's not a ban able offense, right?

[Anaxagoras]

But then shouldn't it be called the xbox180? Or am I over thinking this? Or is that the joke and I just didn't get it?

I had the exact same thought, but decided it must be a Very Subtle Joke that I wasn't getting.

[WarrenM]

So you feel that this forum is 5 years behind the internet humor curve?

[AndrewM]

But then shouldn't it be called the xbox180? Or am I over thinking this? Or is that the joke and I just didn't get it?

It is just some troll that is popular in WoW and likely other places. Because yes, it is utterly wrong, but because many people are mathematically illiterate it is believable that somebody might be mistaken, so it prompts your reply.

[Jose Liz]

So you feel that this forum is 5 years behind the internet humor curve?
Yes, at least.

[Staff Sergeant]

I thought the OP was funny, but only if he is actually seeking the car advice, because it was a creative way to ask for it. However, if it was just supposed to be a joke thread then LAME!

[Pogo]

Your girlfriend is a slut. Put her mouth on the exhaust and leave it there.

Fixed.

Get some rust-converting primer and high heat paint.

Don't buy a fart can for your Honda Civic. It won't go faster.

[BostonBum0]

So you feel that this forum is 5 years behind the internet humor curve?

Yes, at least.

It's meant as an attempt at subtle humor and poking fun at people who have been posting a lot in EE with rather personal advice threads. Then again I could have taken Cubit's approach, but that is not my style.

[Jose Liz]

I love the personal advice threads

[Tyjenks]

Tee-hee, he said but f__k it.

[Athryn]

Copypasta (http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Copypasta)

aka: posting a story that's been posted around before for the intent of getting a response. It's something done *extremely often* at 4chan.

Clearly we are gonna need more rope.

heh, we go over this everytime, but turning around and walking away would be a 180 not a 360 ;) the 360 brings you right back to it.

Good lord, that encyclopediadramatica is some funny, stupid shit. The Game is ridiculous, as are the various endings for copypasta. Shit is funny, yo!

Also, it's very late at night right now. That's my excuse.

[Aszurom]

My advice...

Shoot yourself, then kill the bitch.
