My (35m) MIL (60s, married to wife, 35, for 10 years) threw away about 200lbs of Elk meat I'd hunted/harvested. I am so hurt/sad/angry I'm afraid I might do or say something terrible.

Find a shaman to place an Elk curse on your MIL

Well for starters Dances With Wolves here should sack up and understand that animals like deer and elk are hunted specifically because their population would spiral out of control if we didn't cull the herd routinely every season, which is why licenses have limits. So it's either kill them or deal with the consequences. Secondly, he absolutely should sue his MIL for the estimated cost of the meat because, win or lose, she'll probably be out of their lives forever.

if a deer is a giant rat an elk is a mammoth rat that hates you & wants to gently caress you up, specifically. they're a league apart.

That's how sacrifices work. You make them by having no choice in the matter and its forced upon you with a bullet.

I also hate the idea of hurting animals, I even find it hard sometimes to kill bugs. How would that translate to the idea of personally shooting one myself?

If you are a guest at someone’s house and you go through their fridge/freezer and throw out anything for any reason other than “hey, I found out this pork is actually people” you should be thrown out like the garbage you are.

Yes, there’s wiggle room like if you don’t live here and are super close or an SO or something and the food is rancid or w/e but you know drat well what I’m talking about you rule lawyers.

And that’s a another thing you know back in my d

I (25F) used a friend's (29F) train ticket, got busted, have to pay a fine for identity fraud. My friend is getting into trouble too. Should I pay her fine too as she's asking ?

quote:

I live in Germany, and the train here is pretty expensive. As I had no job, my roommate offered to lend me her student's ticket that is valid in the whole region. She said if they asked for my ID, I should just say I don't have it, and she can go to the station the next day to show her ID. Easy, right ? I happily accept, go around with no problem for a few weeks.

Until once - when saying to the conductor that I don't have my ID, he tells me he's got to call the police to determine my identity. I obviously don't want to bring an identity matter in front of the police. I give up my pride, tell the conductor this isn't my ticket, get the usual 60€ fine, am pissed off but well, I deserved it.

Fast forward 4 months. I get a Bundespolizei letter at my place, I am accused of fraud. Turns out travelling with someone else's ticket gets you in waaay more trouble than travelling without any (I honestly had no idea and thought my case was closed after I paid the initial fine). So I'm still waiting on the amount but it's gonna be bad.

2 more months - my roommate also got a letter, she wasn't allowed to lend her ticket so she's also into trouble. We don't know yet if they're gonna open a case for her, but she's probably gonna get a fine too, and she said we have to see what we'd do in that case cause "I don't want to be responsible for this, I can't see why I'd have to pay for this".

I replied that I don't want to be bitchy, but that she also took her share of responsibility by lending me her ticket, and I'm already getting a huge fine. We're both responsible, we'd both pay, seems legit. I feel really bad about the fact she's in trouble, but I honestly can't see why I would pay her share too. I don't want us to be in bad terms because of this, so maybe I should just pay at least half of her fine - people are more important than money. The fact that she asked me to pay it bugs me though.

Also I currently have an income of about 400€ per month, which isn't really helping. I should receive social help soon, and a laboratory is waiting for funds to hire me, but yeah, my situation is difficult to say the least.

So : should I pay, or should I explain to her that I won't pay and why ?

Thank you in advance !

UPDATE : I will offer to help her pay the fine, because indeed, people are more important than money, and she was trying to help me. Thank you all for commenting and helping me in my decision :)

TL;DR : I used a friend's train ticket, got busted, am paying huge fine for identity fraud. Friend got into trouble too cause she's not allowed to lend her ticket, she now wants me to pay her fine as well. I don't know what to do, especially as my income is very very low.

"Tiny Trains"

How the gently caress are these two grown rear end adults getting so owned by their crazy newly vegan MIL? How the gently caress was the outcome them paying for a hotel rather than kicking MIL out and making her get a hotel? How could she reduce her daughter to tears over popsicles? MIL sounds awful but holy poo poo this couple are spineless and pathetic.

They agreed to host her on certain conditions, she broke those conditions on the car ride home. Dump her at the nearest motel and go home and enjoy your extremely emotionally significant meat. Or ok, you let MIL drive you to tears but she's family so you let her stay. She throws out all the meat, like 4k worth of meat. Once again, you kick her out. You don't need to flip the gently caress out and cry like a baby or stomp around throwing a tantrum in a hotel room. You firmly explain she needs to leave, and they'll be expecting restitution for the meat otherwise you'll be seeing her in small claims court.

If taking her to small claims court is too much of a hassle just sever. Jesus christ sever from this lovely woman. Also maybe get therapy if someone criticizing your popsicles sends you into crying fits. Can this family do anything without crying?

I think it was probably less about the popsicles and more about the lifetime of emotional abuse

which, yes, should have been their cue to kick her out, they missed so many cues to kick her out
