benjaminmeyer+FollowI Thought I Could Save $120 on an Oil Change. Now I'm Looking at a $6,000 BillI just bought a brand-new Mazda CX-90. It was a huge purchase, and I wanted to be smart with my money. My dealership charges about $120 for a synthetic oil change, which I figured was way too much. How hard could it be to do it myself and save some cash? Well, it turns out, it's pretty hard. I went to jack up the car to get to the oil pan. It seemed like the perfect spot, so I put the jack right there. However, the oil pan on this model is a key structural part of the engine, and I cracked it. I literally jacked up a 4,000-pound vehicle by a part that's not supposed to be touched. I'm now looking at a 30-hour repair job that's going to cost me thousands of dollars. All because I was too cheap to pay $120. I feel like an absolute idiot. #DIYFail #CarRepair #Mazda #Regret #HelpNeeded #Cars 7493Share
Jennifer Russell+FollowI guess I'm trapped in the middle of the world's worst neighborhood love triangle...When we bought our first house, I wanted to be friendly but also keep my distance. I messed up and actually got to know a few people. Now in our small group of friends, two of my neighbors are in a massive beef. Both of them constantly try to be exclusively my friend, trapping me in the middle like some kind of unwilling reality star. One particular neighbor does not understand boundaries at all. I have told her no repeatedly on simple things, but she just keeps pushing whatever fresh boundary I set up. She is not even my direct neighbor and she is completely up in my business all the time. I am over it and I feel completely jaded. When we move, can we just choose not to make friends with the neighbors? #NeighborDrama #BoundaryIssues #HomeownerLife #Regret #Home 5420Share
