What stupid, reckless, irresponsible things do people do for fun?
I mostly mean teenagers, but adults can be irresponsible too. I have already: -Drank (this includes driving after a drink *badbadbad* and getting drunk) -Smoked (this is something I might start up again tbh>.>) -Tried weed once (didn't like it) -Had sex -Broke the law (speeding, got caught... stealing, didn't get caught) And I'm not going to try drugs such as heroin, meth, crack, etc.. Nor am I going to sleep around. So what else is on the list? What do people do that later they find irresponsible and/or stupid, but at the time see it as just experiencing life?
My boyfriend is really a good man, but he is also really irresponsible and not a hard worker. Should I leave?
I worry you may be equating ‘nice and pleasant to be around’ with ‘good’.In fact, it's very possible to be a nice, well-intentioned person but not be a good person.If someone means well, but is lazy, reckless, and impulsive and lets you down as a result- that guy is not a good person.If someone agrees to take responsibility, but ‘forgets’ or ‘ runs out of time’ or ‘just gets super busy’ over and over again, that guy is not a good person.If someone wastes your hard work by being lousy with money, that's disrespectful. And that guy is not a good person.These things are all signs of immaturity and selfishness. I don't know that I would judge a 20 year old that harshly for such faults. But, I would set him straight.A 30 year old man acting like this. Yuck! He better catch up quick! I mean QUICK!A 40 year old man or older? Stay away!I can't tell you what to do. I only know your side of the story and really not even that.I guess maybe think about what I wrote and have a very honest conversation with this guy.PS- having a life partner who sucks at finances and basic responsibilities is a recipe for misery. People can change, but the proof of that change is consistent action and consideration- never words. Its fine to take a chance, but don't be fooled.Edit: I notice some of the other answers say if you don't accept him as he is, than you don't really love him.This is false and an unhealthy approach to relationships. How far is this supposed to go? “He cheats, but I love him as he is.” “"He clubs baby seals and exploits kids in a sweatshop but I love him as he is!”Nope. Real life is harder than that I’m afraid. Sometimes we want what's not right or good for us. We can love and reject at the same time. The world is not black and white, but full of color.Unconditional love is absurd! “"My husband gambles away all the money we need to treat our son’s diabetes. Now our son is dying! But I love my husband unconditionally!”Nope.Heck! Maybe love- the feeling-can be unconditional, but the privilege to stay with you? Very conditional.You have to work at being a good partner. Your partner needs to do the same.
How do I handle my financially irresponsible parents who keep asking me for money?
I think your focus is in the wrong place. It seems like your focus is on your parents. If you take your focus off your parents, the problem is much simpler: Get away from them.The focus you have is normal in crazy families: the children hover around the parents, frustrated, but still enabling them.Parents who are this dysfunctional are not people you can hang around, visit, enjoy Thanksgiving and Xmas with. These are toxic people. Get away from them.They will never agree with you. They will always call you selfish and ungrateful. Get away from them.Do not try to convince them of anything. Let them think whatever they want to think. That is not your concern. Your concern is: How to get away from them.

68 mph on a 50 mph zone in CA. Will i get reckless?
In California, you need to be going 100+ mph to get reckless driving automatically from a speeding ticket: From CA VEHICLE CODE SECTION 22348-22366 Reckless Driving: "A person who drives a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than 100 miles per hour is guilty of an infraction punishable..." Unless the officer gave you a ticket for 'Reckless Driving', you are just going to get a speeding ticket. You may be able to take traffic school; some counties/courts allow juveniles to do this. For example, I happen to know that LA County accepts the http://www.trafficschool.com/ for Juveniles. I would read your ticket carefully (front and back), and then call the court you were assigned to and find out if you can enroll in online traffic school as a juvenile. I'm sure you will be able to. Hope all that helps, Jonny Driving School
Where can I report reckless drivers in Las Vegas?
i live in las vegas as well so many non drivers here and really 55 i guess you was on a side street cause the freeway most drive 80 sure they working on it and you was doing the right thing and really if you got a cell phone easy to call in a possible drunk driver he would have been sitting for a hour while they did test or more got a ticket use your phone 911 easy get plate number and which way one is going or about where one is make sure of a few things first like was you in right lane or left if in left lane you should be passing cars on your right which wil get you a finger for going to slow or not moving out of way an dif your going slower that the traffic which is what one should be driving with the flow which helps how everyone moves its not so much how fast one goes but how they do it.. cant run 80 when everyone is going 40 but if everyone is going 80 then you should also or move over to right hand lane where the slower cars ride not saying you was wrong you wasnt but you can always make a call when you think something not right the avg speed on side streets is 50 avg speed on freeway is 70 in the left lane which is a passing lane every where many just drive in left lane all the time which is wrong way to be on freeway and moving with flow of traffic is how one should drive them so if you was being fast on both sides or by more than few cars you was going to slow holding up traffic which causes more wrecks or problems sorry drive same way everyone does it wouldnt happen as much been here 12 yrs i drive the freeway for a living learn to move with the flow what gets me is the ones who turn right from the left lane and the ones who can see theres no move to pul forward to clear the the light but yet they block it for everyone who needs to go the other way so if your going to drive 55 you need to be in right hand lane be it road work or not ... might have been me telling your number one and cussing so maybe you should stick to the side streets and drive 50 or stay in right hand lane nice meeting ya dont ya love vegas nice day today think i wil go for a ride
Are there any legal actions you can take against reckless drivers that almost cause an accident?
Alright so in this particular situation I usually call the police I tell them them the year make and model of the car and ALWAYS try to catch the plate number while on the phone with he police. If the other driver and I happen to be headed the same way give a drve by drive any time the driver does another reckless action. The police will usually try and get ahead of The person to witness the persons actions. After the police are there I usually go about my business as usual and then more often then not the person does something else and the police will pull them over. Police are there to protect and serve your help is generally greatly appreciated. I can't tell you how many follow up calls I've gotten from local police departments thanking me.I usually call about drunk driving or aggressive behaviors.As far as legal action that's about the most you can do. Unless you have a dash cam which I'm fairly certain is 50 state legal in the USA (So long as it doesn't record audio inside the vehicle, and that only matters if there are other people in the car and of course then they have to give permission for it to be legal)of course if they hit you then that a different matter. All the more reason to get a dash cam though.
Cousin Reckless Driving ?
my cousin has very reckless/irresponsible driving habits!!! She gets distracted on the road extremely easily and likes to impress her friends. On a one particular night when she offered to drive me home, we were on the Freeway and she was going about 70mph, she was complaining that it was hot in the car and so she takes both her hands off the wheel so she could remove her sweater. While she was doing this, the car began to swerve left and right halfway onto to the other lane (good thing there were no other cars on other lanes). I told to her several times to please stop and pull over but she refused. I mean if there were other cars on those lanes, we could've been in a wreck and seriously injured! I'm not sure if she was trying to impress her friend who was in the backseat who was also telling to her please pull over and stop. But this to me is as very big NO NO safety hazard! Was about to her report her to DMV and have her license suspended, but being her cousin I decided not to and now I regret that I should've called DMV regarding this. if she was your cousin what would you have done in this situation???
