    ARE they liable for that though? I haven't seen any law to that effect...

    ... so she just graduated in 2014 and you are bitching she is making a starter type pay rate at a company. Well, how much were you making 3 years after HS??? If she has been at the same place for three years maybe she is NOW working her way up. You are only 5k ahead with no education. She could easily be out earning you in a few years then once her loans are paid she will be much better off.

    It is true that debt seems high for a 4 year degree, but she didn't ask you for any help so why would you assume that is coming? Maybe 5% of the girls I know with student loans suckered a guy into paying them, most people take it as a point of pride to pay it themselves or just have more self respect/ consideration for others.

    If you don't like her much then don't date her, fine, but if this is your sole reason for dumping her then you are a dumb ass.

    Is the tagline at the top of the bitch tounge in cheek, or is it an actual forewarning that they are dismissing a valid point?

    It's actually a pay-what-you-can performance. $25 gets you a reserved chair in the front. Although one part of the website is misleading on this front, this purchase page is more clear:

    I personally just show up and toss something in the jug. I've never seen one of their outdoor performances sell out, so no real need to go through the online system.

    If paying for monthly parking at a local lot/ business/ apt/ unused neighbor driveway is cheaper than your tickets - do that. If comparable and less hassle - same suggestion. Otherwise you are still in the green even with tickets.

    You should probably accept that the place you live is the price that it is because it doesn't have a driveway/ garage. If you weren't dealing with tickets/ parking cost you would be paying out instead via the increased mortgage or rent payments that come with the higher property value of a lot with these additional amenities. No matter how you slice it, you are paying for that parking somehow.

    Re: “Ripoff Guys
    All these posts blaming the OP - 'don't get drunk and lose control' is pretty basic advice. That said, you do realize that you are essentially supporting the right of a sober person to take advantage of a drunk person??? That type of behavior is not okay. The bartender needs to be blasted for his lack of integrity. OP please complain to management. If they do not take appropriate action, please post about your experience on review sites where you can clearly name the establishment. I'm not one to get trashed in a bar, but also don't want to try to unwind in a place with staff and regulars biding their time and hoping to take advantage of me, the friends I am with or anyone else.

    1. There are many bra types that do not have underwires - I own three.
    2. Many of the bras with underwires do have proper padding around the wires to prevent this very problem. You just need to pay attention to how the bra is constructed before you buy it and/or stop shopping at La Senza.
    3. Machine washing an underwire bra is more likely to cause the wire to come out. It is called hand washing. It is what you do with dedicates. It also preserves the integrity of the bra. I can buy a $40 bra and it will still look good after many years even with regular use.
    4. The studies on bras/ sagging are not very convincing insofar as the ones I have seen involve small samples of specific parts of the population and considering the mixed results. In my personal experience, I think it depends on the type of bra a person wears, if they fit and how big your breasts are in the first place.
