I drive a Hyundai Ioniq 5 and received a "Check Electric Vehicle System" warning. I brought my vehicle to Kearny Mesa Hyundai for service, and it took them 10 days just for a technician to even look at the car. I was eventually told that the high-voltage battery needed to be replaced.

When my vehicle repair was completed and ready for pickup, I arrived at the dealership and was shocked by the condition of my car. It was completely covered in bird droppings. Several customers who walked by commented on how disgusting the vehicle looked. I pointed this out to the employee who brought out the vehicle, and I was told that they do not have covered parking and do not wash vehicles for customers. Luckily another employee overhead the situation and eventually helped to clean the vehicle.

The condition in which my vehicle was presented to me was unacceptable and highly unprofessional. Basic care and respect for a customer's property should be expected. 

Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend avoiding this service center.

Anyone recognize this lady? She came up to our car and started recording us including my children. When asked why she was recording us and asked to back the fuck up she immediately asked why we were threatening her. She proceeded to record my license plate and continued recoding my child. I immediately called police but then she just walked off before the cops arrive. My kiddos were visible shaken.

We came home on Saturday 05/30/2026 at approximately 4pm to what looked like a nearby house being raided by the police. There were 10+ vehicles, a helicopter circling, multiple fire engines, and a large number of uniformed (both tan and blacked out possibly tactical) officers on the property. We haven't been able to find a single shred of news on this. Does anyone have any idea what may have been the cause for this massive residential raid?

Occurred at the far east end of Alpine Blvd before it crosses back over the 8 towards Viejas.

A couple of things to say to San Diego road users:

It’s okay to say “sorry” if you cut someone off instead of just staring at them like a moron!
It’s okay to cruise in the right lane instead of camping in the passing lane!
It’s okay to miss your exit on the highway—just go the f*uck around!
It’s okay to miss a green light. Being 30 seconds late is better than gambling with other people’s lives!

I just left the San Diego Superior courthouse where a district attorney representative spoke with a judge to assist in the dismissal of the arrest record for the principal and teacher’s falsified report.

The district attorney’s office had blocked the Golden Hill Elementary school staff from pressing charges twice, in 2024 and 2025, against the parent who reported child abuse crime in the classroom in October of 2024.

If your child was prevented from accessing toilets at school and suffered infection, forced classroom excretions, genital rashes from prolonged sitting in excrement, gastrointestinal or urogenital dysfunction, kidney pain, etc DO NOT SPEAK WITH THE SCHOOL!!

1. Tell the pediatrician. Insist on all testing and documentation of health issues caused by forced waste retention and the unsanitary classroom environment.

2. The pediatrician will report to authorities.

3. Follow up with the SDPD child abuse unit to deliver medical history.

4. The district attorney has your back.

Protect yourself from known school staff retaliation.

Call your child out sick and document the toilet-denial injuries with the nurse at school as the reason. REPORT AND DOCUMENT FIRST!!

THEN inform the school with an email detailing the sequence of events including your SDPD report.

Thank you for helping us all keep our Golden Hill kids safe!!

Had to take a roundabout way back to SD last night with a five hour layover in SF.

Met a dude there that grew up in Jamul ( I'm from Ramona) and now works for a startup dealing with veterans and PTSD research I believe. He went to school in the Bay area.

Had a really great conversation about dementia research

and outdoor living. He expressed interest in going on a fishing trip I have planned end of June.

Really cool dude, I'd place him mid to late 20's.

Here's the thing, we dudes talked all sorts of shit about our upbringings and lives and we never even caught each other's names.

Boarded the plane saying we were gonna exchange info and we were both so tired from all the delays and cocktails we just zombied off the plane.

If you know a guy that sounds like this, hit me up, I'd like to get him on that fishing boat and then go play some golf.

Citing unnecessary impact to those affected by disaster, extended probate process, etc.

Today I participated in the San Diego rock ‘n’ roll marathon, my first, and I had a good run, finished, and want to continue training to improve my times.

What really spoiled the whole experience for me was an interaction I had with the cleaning company that was assisting the marathon.

I arrived at Balboa Park 45 minutes before my start time, giving me enough time to warm up, use the restroom and drop off my post race change of clothes.

The restroom line took about 25 minutes and I went to drop off my bag afterwards, but I was told by the race organizers that backdrop off clothes at 6:30 AM. I found that odd considering many heats started past 7 AM, but it being my first time participating, I thought that’s how things go.

As I was scrambling to find where to leave my bag, myself, and a group of three others runners started looking around where we could leave our things, to which a gentleman wearing a staff T-shirt who was cleaning at the park, approached us and offered to look after our things and drop them off at the bag check post race.

All our bags were tagged with our bib number and name and with our heat 5 to 10 minutes away from starting, we all left our things with him. He even stated it was part of his job, to which I honestly thought was really helpful.

I now know I was really stupid and naïve because upon completing the race I went to bag check and was told that my bag was not there.

I then asked where the cleaning crew were and was told that they would be cleaning up at the different checkpoints throughout the race.

I was able to find the location through Find My on my AirPods. To make a long story short, he had about four bags which I assume were the other people’s and of course, most of my things were missing.
I asked him about where they were and he said that’s all he had. I pressed a little more and then another guy came up and said sorry we have to go, with both bolting into the work truck and leaving.

I couldn’t chase after them because I was running in the middle of the street and my car was not close by.

I now feel like an idiot because I was stupid and essentially got finessed.

I’ve sent an email to Lost and Found because I am out about $450 worth of workout gear and would probably be a higher amount if my sunglasses and AirPods have been left.

What bothers me the most is that I had purchased a really nice jacket the day prior as a reward for training up to the marathon.

I don’t know the point of this post, other than being heard and maybe one of the other people that lost their stuff come across this.

Other than that, the race was really fun and I definitely want to do it again next year. The crowds were amazing and there was thousands of people cheering at many points throughout the race, with some houses even offering drinks and donuts. The signs I came across made the suffering much more enjoyable.

I’m a San Diego native and I know that 99% of people in San Diego are awesome, but it bothers me that one percent ruin it for the rest.

What are the most depressing grocery stores in SD? I’m looking for the worst vibes. Bad energy, crappy layout, weirdos, etc.

Albertsons in EV was pretty bad, but I want something worse.

Bit of a long shot, but tomorrow is my birthday and I've been wanting to go whale watching 🐋

I was thinking of going out tomorrow during the day and figured I'd see if anyone wanted to join. I've never been before and it seems like one of those experiences that's more fun to share with someone.

If you're interested, send me a message 🙂 im f28 turning 29!

Hey everyone. I’m turning 29 this year and going through something that’s been really hard to sit with: the friends I thought I had are just in completely different life stages now. Most of them are married with kids, and I’m the only single one left. I don’t blame them. life just took us in different directions but it’s still makes me feel extremely disconnected.

I’ve been single for a while and have tried the dating app route, but honestly it’s not really for me. Beyond that, I realize I don’t have many hobbies to anchor me to a community, which makes meeting people even harder. I’m working on finding things I genuinely enjoy, but I’m kind of starting from scratch.

The thing is, I love San Diego. The weather, the beach, the energy , it’s a great city. But the loneliness that doesn't escape me is really starting to take a toll on me.
If you’ve rebuilt your social life from the ground up as an adult, especially in San Diego — how did you do it? Any advice, resources, apps, groups, or just words of encouragement would mean a lot right now.

Hey everyone! I’m trying to learn how to roller skate this summer and I’m looking for some good spots around UCSD (or nearby) to practice.

I’m still very much a beginner, so I’m hoping to find somewhere with a large, flat, smooth surface where I won’t be constantly worried about hitting people. I’d prefer somewhere that’s relatively quiet or less crowded rather than a super busy skate park or trail.

Things I was thinking of are public tennis courts, empty basketball courts, parking garages, large parking lots, etc. Basically anywhere with smooth pavement and plenty of space to fall without embarrassing myself too much lol

Also, if there are any other beginners around UCSD who are learning to skate and would want to practice together sometime, I’d definitely be interested!

Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks! 🛼😊

Hopefully May gloom is officially done. Fingers crossed.

For those who still haven’t woken up and likely don’t remember the marathon is today..it’s going to be okay

Signed, someone who lives in the heart of the race map. Let people have their fun too.

This is independent of dept or dr and seems to be across the board that it's near impossible to get through to any dept for any reason after their really long automated phone verification. Every time I'm waiting for 15mins on hold to either be hung up on or forced to leave a voicemail that's never returned. I'm a shift worker with a chaotic schedule so maybe I just notice this more because I don't have a work schedule where I can easily call daily and constantly at different times, but i swear it hasn't always been this bad.

Anyone have this issue and have a workaround (this is everything from appointment scheduling to just calling abkut records never being released to billing to scheduling a blood draw)? Or if there is none outside of leaving ucsd for care (which I've tried and also ran into 6mos of their medical records dept not sending my own records) has anyone else noticed similar and can commiserate or has any tea on what on earth happened that made calling ucsd such a nightmare?

* I've noticed similar issues with 2 non-ucsd drs and suddenly using automated phone screening systems for all calls, so that's why part of me wonders if this is less ucsd and more of a widespread issue of automated phone systems being used lately, where jumping ship won't necessarily help.

Hey everyone, excited to do some more grilling this summer. However, cost of groceries sure making my wallet hurt recently. Any recs on affordable places to buy some meats for grilling? I don’t need anything fancy super high grade and I’m not super particular. Just hoping to put some steaks and other meats on the grill the summers without even more going broke.

A middle age couple rang on our doorbell camera on last week in the evening and said that they were looking for their son’s friend and gave me his first name. I told them that I didn’t know anybody by that name and I pointed out a couple of the neighbors houses that they might check. When I asked them what address they had, to offer them help, the woman showed me her phone and it was just a pin on a map at my house. I asked them a couple questions to try to help and they sounded kind of vague in their answers. They didn’t appear too concerned about finding the son’s friend. when they left they drove straight out of the neighborhood and didn’t appear to continue looking for their son’s friend in the area. They looked Hispanic and were driving a newer truck Ford or Ram, full size.

Anyone else have any similar knockers?

And it's just delightful. Seeing so many people so excited to run, and their friends and family excited to see them finish. I found myself cheering the ones who crossed the finish line even though I didn't know their names lol.

28M currently out n about in Santee , does anyone wanna hang out grab a bite to eat or see the sunset? lmk :)
