Reply to TIFU by poorly packing things into me car by zapdoszaperson

So glad! Ha, while washing...check those things for scratches, bumps, and lumps. Ouch!

It's one thing if your partner has a sharp 💅 nail. Another if your partner tore a dildo up at Wal-Mart. 🤷‍♀️ Asphalt is unforgiving.

I don’t want you to feel like you’re horrible. We all do lots of dumb stuff throughout our lives. I wanted to give you a no BS answer though. Like “hey, yeah that was not a good thing to do. Here’s what will likely happen and here’s the right thing to do. It’ll be hard but you’ll feel a lot better without that weighing your back down.”

Look at it this way: your friends might be mad. Some might be more angry than others. Some might laugh. You don’t know what their reactions will be. But I can assure you they will feel much more deceived and upset if they tried to spend their money to help you out when the truth is you never needed it in the first place. It will be much easier for them to get over than if they all spend money out of kindness when it wasn’t necessary. Don’t let your lie grow any bigger than it needs to be. Yourself and your friends will be better off in the long run if you nip it in the bud before it escalates any further.

Edit: I’m not your life coach, nor am I you or know your friends. My response is from an outside perspective coming from an individual who has told their fair share of white lies that got too out of control. You do what you feel is best, but I know what I would do in your shoes.
