  • oilbust 6 years ago on Why Don’t You Monsters Like Talking To Uber Drivers?

    I think it just depends on the situation. I use Uber a lot to get home from work, and the last thing I want to do after a long stressful day is have small talk with the Uber driver. The same thing goes for being picked up from the airport after a long red eye Flight.

    However, on a Saturday night and I’m going out to the bars, I will chat the Uber drivers ear off.

  • oilbust 6 years ago on Mailbag: Dealing With Gym Anxiety, Avoiding Hangovers, And Hearing Gossip You Shouldn't

    Gym guy I think the most obvious solution is to go to the gym during non-peak times when it’s not so crowded: early in the morning or later in the evening around 9pm. This should help with your anxiety since there won’t be so many guido juiceheads walking around.

    Also, maybe try joining a smaller gym with more of a family demographic. Where I’m from the YMCA is more family oriented and mainly has older non-threatening people lifting weights. Also, some of the city parks usually have a smaller gym where you can workout. I used to get frustrated going to the popular gyms in my city (24 hour fitness, LA fitness) after work since it would get so crowded, I much prefer the smaller gyms.

  • oilbust 6 years ago on The Most Annoying Advice You Can Give To A Single Person

    I think what people really mean is find a good guy. When someone is described as nice, it usually means they’re boring and/or unattractive. When someone is described as good, it usually means they have values and morals and would make a good partner. Huge difference in my opinion.

  • oilbust 6 years ago on Mailbag: Shooting Your Shot For Shy People, Sexting A Guy 101, And The Bride's Family Paying For The Wedding

    Sexts question: I’ve always been a fan of the subtle non nude sexy pics, especially while at Work. Girls sending me a pic of their legs in heels, color of their panties, thong pic in the work bathroom, booty pic in yoga pants while working out, Snapchat video showing up your work skirt, licking lips… You get the idea. I prefer these subtle sexts over a full blown nude pic, although I’ll never complain about a nude pic!

  • oilbust 6 years ago on The Different Types Of Check Splitters You Dine With

    Splitting 3 checks isn’t an issue. It becomes an issue when you have a table full of 20-30 people with a huge tab, all 20 want separate checks, all want appetizers and deserts split 7 ways somehow, everyone is drunk and obnoxious, no one wants to claim the 2 patron margaritas that were ordered, everyone keeps switching seats making it more confusing for the waiter, etc etc hahah.

  • oilbust 6 years ago on The Different Types Of Check Splitters You Dine With

    I worked at a restaurant that required the manager to enter in his code in order for the waiter to split the check. Imagine putting a coke on the wrong persons tab and needing to get a manager to enter in his code again, and again, and Again, and it’s a packed restaurant. The customer would have to wait a long time for this to happen when everyone could’ve just put in their card and say split evenly.

    I remember a table that wrote down how much to charge their cards on the back of the receipt. It took ten minutes for them to do intense calculations of what they ordered and how much tax, tip etc. The 3 totals they told me to charge ended up being within 20 cents of each other ($20.10, $20.30, $20.40).

  • oilbust 6 years ago on My Side Hustle Might Be Killing Me

    I did this for several years at my first office job right out of college. I was making an entry level salary so I waited tables and bartended on the weekends. I didn’t have a day off for 2-3 years. I quit doing this once I switched jobs a few times to get me to a decent salary where I didn’t need a second job anymore.

    However, I look back on that time fondly. Nothing like doing some side hustles to get the juices Flowing. I was also able to save a ton of money since I had very little free time to go out or spend money. Keep at it, you won’t have the energy or will to do this in your 30’s or 40’s.

  • oilbust 6 years ago on Observations From Your Lyft Driver

    It’s standard for solo riders to get in the back. I think the majority of solo riders will get in the back automatically, maybe a few customers here and there will sit up front. Usually it’s younger college students who do this. I think it’s because they’ve never been a taxi before lol.

  • oilbust 6 years ago on Observations From Your Lyft Driver

    I have to disagree with you here about sitting in the front seat. I think it’s only ok if you have multiple customers in the back seat and someone has to sit in front. But a solo rider who jumps in the front without anyone else in the car, was always a little weird to me. Kind of like an invasion of privacy. You wouldn’t jump in the front seat of a taxi as a solo rider, so why an Uber/Lyft?

  • oilbust 6 years ago on In Defense Of Taking 3-5 Showers Per Day

    My girlfriend is Brazilian and takes 3-4 showers a day. She said it’s common in Brazil because of the heat and lack of AC. I’m not a big fan of taking so many showers a day but I’ve gotten used to it being with her lol.
