Hey Adings! It's your Ate Sapphire. Before we start today's episode (( Skip Advertisement: 1:02 ))
I want to tell you about one of our sponsors this week as most of us have found out the hard way
Getting into debt is easy getting out is hard, especially if your FICO score isn't great
Thankfully now there's Upstart.com
The revolutionary lending platform that knows you're more than just your credit score
And offers smarter interest rates to help you pay off high interest credit card debt. So how do they do it?
They factor in your education and job history when you apply and once your loan is approved
Most people get their money the very next business day when I was 18 and didn't know any better
I signed up for a crazy high amount of multiple student loans and racked up a lot of debt on multiple cards if you're like me
You should probably check out Upstart, CY Upstart is ranked number one in their category with over 300 businesses on Trustpilot
And hurry to Upstart.com/ss to find out how low your upstart rate is. Checking your rate..
Only takes a few minutes and won't affect your credit that's Upstart.com/ss. And now back to the show (yay!)
Hey, I'm Sapphire. Wanna hear something scary?!
The following story comes from the no-sleep subreddit written by username "HiggsThunder"
“911, what is your emergency?”
“Yeah, hi, um..."
"This is going to sound kind of strange but.. "
"There's a man stumbling around in circles in my front yard.”
“um...could you repeat that, sir?”
“He looks...sick, or lost, or drunk, or something."
"I just woke up to get a glass of water and heard snow crunching around underneath my front window"
so I peeked out..."
"I'm looking at him now, he's about ten yards away from my window."
"Something's not right.”
“What is your address, sir?”
“1617 Quarry Lane, in Pinella Pass.”
“I'm going to send a squad car your way, but that's quite a ways out. Are you alone in your house sir?”
“Yes, I'm alone.”
“Can you confirm that all of your doors and windows are locked? Stay on the phone with me.”
“I know that my front is definitely locked, but I'll go check my back door again really quick.."
"I appreciate your help, by the way,
I know this is kind of strange but I really hope that –“
“...Sir? Are you still there?”
“He's...he's still in the yard."
"But he's...what the hell..."
"he's upside down...” (lmao)
“Sir? Stay on with me, what is happening?”
“He's staring right at me..."
"but he's..."
"he's standing on his hands now. " (oof)
"He's perfectly still, staring straight at me."
He's doing a handstand and he's smiling at me and not moving.” (omg xD)
“He's...he's doing a handstand, sir?” (pretty much unbelievable lol)
“I...I don't know how he...yeah,"
"he's facing me and standing on his hands"
"and he's got this huge smile" (creepy af)
"and he's perfectly still... "
"what the FUCK...please get someone out here NOW.”
“Sir I need you to remain calm. I've put out the call and an officer is on his way.”
“His teeth are so huge... oh my god...” (what a weird man)
"please help me.."
“Sir I want you to try and keep an eye on him."
"but make sure your back door is locked again. "
"We need to make sure all possible access points are secured. "
"Can you talk me through and confirm that your back door is locked?”
“Okay...I'm walking backwards now and I'm keeping him in my sight... (hell no)
"My hand is on the back doorknob now...ok it's locked. "
"I need to check the deadbolt so I'm going to take my eyes off of him for a split second.” (pls no ;-;)
“Alright sir. Help is on the way. Just stay on the phone with me, everything's going to be alright."
"Sir?"
"...Sir? Are you still there?”
“He's...his face. It's up against the glass.”
“Sir, I need you to speak up. What is happening?”
“I looked away for a split second and now...his face. It's pressed up against my front window.
"His teeth are huge and he's still smiling..."
"There's no color in his eyes...Jesus please help me, why won't it just fucking move...”
“Sir, I need you to go to the nearest room and lock yourself inside of it."
"Do you have a basement or a bedroom that you can lock yourself in?"
“He won't stop staring...
"I think he's going to hurt me...”
“Sir I need you to listen to me."
"Lock yourself somewhere safe until the officer arrives at your house"
" Can you hear me?”
"yes...uh-huh mhm yes, I'm going to lock myself in my room .”
“And you're positive that you're alone in your house, correct?”
“Yes, I'm alone in the house..."
"…wait a moment..."
"he's moving"
"He's shaking his head."
"He's telling me no."
"Oh god. I think he can hear us."
"He's telling me.."
"I'm not alone.”
“Sir? Sir are you still there?
"Can you still hear me?"
"What was that sound? is everything okay?! (it's definitely OK)
"sir?"
Did you know that fashion is the second most polluting industry in the world?
That's pretty scary right?
That's actually the many reasons I love to shop secondhand.
And my favorite place to do so is on Thredup.
Thredup is the largest consignment in thrift store.
The website is super easy to navigate,
You can filter items by size, styles, silhouette.
I have a lot of weddings to attend this year,
And it was so easy to find amazing dresses at such great prices.
I got this aidan mattox dress that was originally $395 for only $50.
And I can't even tell these dresses are used.
And that's because everything in Thredup is hand inspected and triple checked for quality.
They add over 50,000 new items every single day so you are guaranteed to find something you love.
