Thank you for contributing, but you're being a bit obtuse if you think things were better with Cowslips around when they'd post "AITA for being mad that my dad repeatedly ran over my dog in the driveway?" stories every few days, upsetting people and generating literally dozens of reports.

Well, thank you for introducing me to another distinct and specific horror genre. Kudos to America for getting real weird with it.

Or she gets off the train to look for him as he's getting on to look for her? It's simpler and therefore better to just proceed to the next prearranged meeting space which was the final destination. Twelve years ago I went to Disney World with my girlfriend, her three year old daughter, and another couple who also had a kid. Due to scheduling we didn't have a lot of time at Epcot so we separated for a bit. I went to go look at some things my girlfriend and the kid didn't want to do and they went to something I didn't want to do. Easy; we left the stroller in a stroller parking area and said we would meet here if our phones died or something. I came back from my ride, they're not there, park closes in thirty minutes. The stroller area was right next to an ice cream place so I went in for a cone while I waited, came back in less than five minutes. The stroller is gone. I eat my ice cream sitting nearby, ten minutes, no responses on the phone. I finally head towards the area of the ride I went to (they knew the ride) and caught them coming back. They went looking for me and took the stroller because her phone was dead and they didn't see me. I argued that we had said to meet at the stroller and wait for the other, not take the stroller and go looking. The point is, always make a meet up plan and stick to it. Also don't go to Disney World unless you're rich I guess, it's expensive and stressful.

It wasn't "SO offensive and objectionable" which is why it only got a sixer. It's more of a reminder "Hey, let's not with this sort of thing" before it gets out of hand yet again. Oh, and next time maybe leave out the lovely attitude. There was a way of asking that without "pretending we're all traumatized" when that's clearly not what happened, and the responses are from regulars who, again, do not want this iteration of the thread filled with animal abuse stories as with the last one.

AITA for asking my biological mother why I'd help her and her kids?quote:My biological mother didn't raise me. She let my dad raise me for the first two years on his own and then he passed away and my maternal grandparents took custody of me like my dad wanted and my grandparents became my parents but raised me to know about the loving dad I had. My grandparents were amazing and I feel lucky that they also loved my dad and respected him enough, despite him not being their son, to make sure I did grow up knowing he had wanted me even though their daughter/my biological mother didn't.

Pantaloon Pontiff posted:Before I was aware of this social dynamic, I blew up a WOW guild by accident, back when WOW was a new thing. The GM was being a hardass about something dumb (probably something like forbidding me to be silly in general chat) and gave me a 'you will stop that or you're out of the guild'. Since it was just a guild I randomly joined, I figured it was no big deal to leave, so I just said "OK, good luck guys I'm outta here". According to a buddy of mine who was in the guild, something like half the guild ended up leaving in the next couple of hours while the GM tried to threaten people into staying, which just made the problem worse. (Threatening to kick people if they leave is not the best strategy in the world). There's an old joke with various setups but the same punchline of "oh, that's because the reason they live in [whatever city the teller's dunking on] is they don't know they're allowed to leave."

the holy poopacy posted:Uncles & aunts salty as hell that the lion's share of the estate went to the grandkid They fact that they apparently don't seem interested in doing so highly suggests that rather than being concerned for OP's bio mom, they actually don't give a poo poo about her either and just want OP to make her go away.

Unwanted child stole all the money from the grandparents when he should have had the common decency to just not exist. Clearly he planned for this to happen by being born.

AITA for gatekeeping my recipes from my one upper DILquote:So my DIL has a habit of one upping people, at the beginning I don’t really notice it but it is obvious now. Everyone in the family has something they are good at and it’s like their thing. For example my daughter was really into making pies. One day DIL ( I’ll call her Kelly) asked for the recipes. My daughter gave them and started to bring pies to every family event, kinda kicking my daughter out of her thing. Then pushed for the family to compare them. My daughter wasn’t happy. "Yeah that rules."

Why yes, my pasta sauce is indeed made with tomato soup instead of tomatoes and maple syrup as the secret ingredient. Don’t tell anybody. Oh, you brought it to Thanksgiving this year and people are complaining about the taste? No idea, maybe you over-cooked it  .

I love the idea of trying to come with with recipes that sound plausible but are really terrible to get her to keep trying them. And maybe give some breadcrumbs for a search for the 'right' recipe, like hint there's something specific about the raisins for the raisin alfredo but don't be too specific, so she'll think she got the wrong type instead of that you're trolling her.

This is, in fact, way better than last thread where Cowslips would one-up any animal abuse story with some nauseating, often unspoilered animal death story. Ok content. Try to guess what this guy’s upset about : My wife (37F) and I (38M) were humiliated by being denied entry at a bar this weekend. It ruined our date night and has had us feeling awful ever since. What can we do? quote:This last weekend, my wife were out on a date to a concert. After we left the show, we wanted to try out a new really popular bar that was a few blocks away. When we got there, there was a giant line to get in. She really wanted to see it, so we waited around fifteen or twenty minutes.

Fil5000 posted:British PSAs are their own specific horror genre. If you ever have half an hour spare, I highly recommend "Apaches", a short film about the dangers of being a kid playing on a farm which includes both death by weedkiller and slurry pit. Australian PSAs are a similar genre, our anti-smoking ads are legendary.
