i need $10 to see the Minecraft movie. It comes to my theater tomorrow

My employer offers a $500/month wellness reimbursement — super generous, but also super vague. It covers stuff like personal training, meditation apps, acupuncture, and even things like naturopaths. But it excludes things like massages, supplements, spa stuff, and “stretch therapy” (womp womp).

Looking for creative but defensible ways to max this out every month — especially for stuff I already do or want to try. I’ve got a home gym, I use Calm, I dabble in yoga. Could also use ideas on stacking services, annual memberships, or anything reimbursable that flies under the radar.

How do you all play this kind of benefit to your advantage without raising HR flags or getting denied?

Edit: so many great replies - thanks! I should have added equipment purchases are not covered. Only eligible services are covered.

Im flying internationally and in my country we don’t have weeed only hash, so hypothetically i want to take 1g maybe 2 with me. Now i know better than to put it in my checked luggage, so im thinking of keeping it on me in an airtight small bag, but i don’t know if it would show in the human scanner. Probably will put it next to my balls and wear tight boxers. Any thoughts?

Hi! I have an old neighbour that completely destroys my mood everyday and I am done. She has been living in the building for ~40 years, basically controlling our hallway.

She puts whatever she wants to the hallway - there is a wooden sofa where she sits and smokes whole day, huge standing ashtray, shoe rack. She decorates the hallway the way she wants, puts carpets, plants. In winter she even puts a box of potatos there.

She absolutely never let me put any single small thing to the hallway. When I first moved I put a drying rack and she complained to the real estate guy. I understand the drying rack thing and I have never put it out again. However, I also want to put my shoerack outside, she always complained about it. It is a really small rack and I put it in a place where it bothers no one. Apart from complaining, she once screamed at me at 7am for this, and when I was out of country she took the rack and my shoes put into a plastic bag. My partner is tired of this so he put them inside and we keep them inside now.

A few days ago I washed my winter shoes and put them out in the corner, under a shelf, literally taking least possible place to dry. Today she tried to fight with me again "I have told this many times and I am not gonna repeat I don't want shoes here". I explained her that they are there to dry, and when I came back from work I see she put them in a plastic bag again. I am really frustrated and I want to do something.

The owner is abroad so real estate guy is managing the apartment. We have complained to him many times but he said he can't do anything, we have to solve it talking to her. And she is an old, crazy lady just try to get along with her.

What can I do? At this point I want to complain so her stuff - sofa is removed as well. Not sure if it would happen though, as she is living there for 40 years and I am not a local.

Edit: Just want to add few details: There is a Camera on her door recording whole hallway, so no I cannot piss on the couch. Also, I live in Europe.

I don't care who you are or what your background is. This still works. I hope we can all take advantage of it while it lasts.

If you call customer service and run into AI... just claim they are discriminating against you for some reason. Doesn't matter what reason.

It will immediately transfer you to real people every time.

Especially with shien. I travel a lot and I don’t like repeating the same dresses, bikinis, etc so if you buy clothes you like off of shien (DOESNT have to be cheap, some are good quality) take on vacation, wear what you want then return it after your trip your basically recycling clothes! I’ve done this for a year now. rinse repeat:)

How to deal with this obnoxious neighbor

I have this Karen neighbor that got animal control and PMO (Provost Marshal’s office) called on them for unleash dog walking and littering all over the place, they are obviously mentally unstable and started harassing my wife, this time I called the PMO on them and Karen had a melt down right in front of the PMO.

The situation now developed to said Karen starts acting dramatic, loud and obnoxious in their own place with their all their window open, obviously trying to provoke us and retaliate, other than calling the police again, what would be some good ideas to make their life miserable.

It’s a super compact neighborhood on a military base with a shared parking lot.

I genuinely don't know the answer Im just looking for anything I could get, I'm currently the only one bringing money in for my family but l'm also struggling to find a decent job, I try a bunch of Minijobs but it clearly doesn't pay for everything like rent, food, dogfood. Thought about donating anything from my body for some cash but sadly I'm a pale and weak mf and would probably collapse. Got to the point where I'm just desperate and would do anything, onlyfans but that's not gonna happen overnight and I'm not the best looking, begging, sold a bunch of stuff. Really just miserable

So, asking for a friend. Said friend has a few family members who still proudly display Trump flags, share Facebook conspiracy theories like it's their job, and talk about "those people" way too often at every holiday and family gathering possible.

My friend was wondering if there's a fun, mildly petty, and completely legal way to sign them up for snail mail from every progressive org under the sun. Think environmental justice, LGBTQ+ rights, BLM newsletters, Planned Parenthood updates, drag story hour invites, vegan recipe cards, anti-book-banning campaigns, and climate change facts printed in Comic Sans.

But, my friend would also like to educate their family in some way too. So yes, trying to annoy ever so slightly, but my friend also wants thair family to at least make an informe decision, instead of going along with the Trumpy heard mentality. My friend is also totally willing to make donations to progressive orgs, in their friend’s name, to maximize the benefits of excessive snail mail.

Bonus points if the mailers are glossy, colorful, and come regularly enough to really challenge their blood pressure meds lol.

So, dear Reddit, any creative suggestions for where one might start? Asking for a friend, of course. Thank you!

So I missed court and I told them that it was because I was in the hospital for a few days (I was, but not that exact day - honestly just forgot) and now they’re wanting documentation.. anyone know how I can go about getting something like this? Willing to pay for it if necessary

I need to order a monitor in the US for my personal business. It's a niche product for which I can't find an alternative elsewhere.

I want to avoid paying 25% more because that would be literally 2000$ extra.

How can I buy it while still declaring it as an expense but bypass the frontier tariffs?

EDIT: I messaged the monitor company and they told me that since the monitor is manufactured in China, it would be specified on the packaging. So, no tariff. However, companies are about to all increase their retail prices because of the tariffs in the coming weeks.

I just got confirmation that my LLC was approved. I live on some acreage with river access, ponds, and timber, so I started an LLC to give an avenue to write off needed maintenance purchases and property upkeep. The premise is to generate some income by selling firewood, selling blue gills for catfish bait, and maybe get some bees to produce honey. I recently built a large smoker too, so thinking about processing deer and selling summer sausage and sticks. I could also do some small scale guided fishing tours, but I really don't intend to charge my friends and family. I don't see a ton of income potential right now, so I plan on paying myself with fabricated invoices and then buying the things I need out off that so I can write it off and offset my massive property taxes and maintenance costs a bit. Anyone tried this kind of thing and been successful? I appreciate any tips!

Begging on the weekend for extra money 💰

I make minimum $400 begging on the street in my city on the weekend pretending to be unhoused to tourists.

I’m trying to find some more deductions on my US taxes to avoid paying more taxes. What are some easy deductions I can add? I’m married, I have a house, 2 cars, and 2 kids. Not a ton of medical expenses, but I am adding up some more costs. What else can I claim?

Edit: I am right on the edge past the standard deduction, I’m trying to avoid paying another $1600 on top of the $33k I’ve already paid)

So I have three credit cards that collectively have like $10k worth of debt.

I am now unemployed. I don’t have any assets. And my spouse isn’t on any paperwork for those card nor am I listed on “their” assets such as the house we live in nor their vehicle.

What can they do? They can garner my wages and I don’t have any assets they can take.

I have a broken joy con that I’m trying to return to Amazon. I was going to buy a new one and return the broken one. Would I be able to get away with returning it? I do believe they have different serial numbers.

ULPT I have 2 huge trees in my backyard, one hanging over the neighbors roof. I want to find a way to get the city to remove it? Will say/try anything 😬

Hi, My wife and I are planning on paying for grad school in 2026 in Oregon but we live in Washington state. The difference in tuition will add up to approximately $120,000 by degree completion. She has not officially applied and has some time to do so but thinks she has very good odds on admission and those odds improve with instate residency. We plan to set her up and tell the school that she lives separate from myself in Oregon while I live in Washington in the home we own together. She’s really living with me, but we have friends in Oregon who could “rent” to her and get her on utilities. Other considerations would be that she does in fact work in person in Oregon as well as have self employment income there and we are willing to file separately at the state level to ensure she pays Oregon taxes as a resident vs non-resident for this income.We also plan to register her car, voting and ID in Oregon. The only official tie she will have to Washington is our marriage and that she is a co-owner to the home. We will move to Oregon in the event she is admitted but it would be financially a poor idea to sell our house at this time and actually move and take that massive tax bill together. Will this be sufficient to prove to the university in Oregon that she is a resident? Can you think of additional steps to ensure in-state residency?

My friend is staying there this week at the all-inclusive resort. How do I get a bracelet to stay in her room and give her some money on the side but not pay for my stay?

This is a toxic tip for anyone learning a language or trying to get stronger in arguments or be less shy when trying to defend an opinion.

Open a reddit account and argue with every troll. YouTube comments are also the good place for this. Basically, every platform that's relatively anonymous and without a character limit. Stand your ground even when proved wrong. Support ridiculous takes. For this tip to work, you have to take the time defend your points with the strongest statements you can find.

This is unethical because it's flooding with useless debates but that's how I got so good at English. I had to do research to find the best words. I had to force myself to think critically. Now, I feel confident arguing my points in real life.
