I want to be friends with this girl. I like to think she married Pete.

Apologize for nothing, you have won the power struggle and are the new patriarch of the family. Cement your hold on power by inviting yourself to the homes of various family members (especially your grandfather, if he's in the hospital then as family you will be let in to see him) and thanking them for their help in these trying times, and promise that you'll never forget their support. Do this, obviously, even if they did not support you.

AITA for firing employee of 20+ years for calling my niece "Princess"

My niece is kind of... a useless intern at the moment. She was super sheltered by her mother, my brother travels for work... so she has no real life skills.

I own a business and took Ally [18] under my wing. She lives in my basement apartment [I live above her] and I am pretty much building an adult from the ground up. Everything from how to dress in the workplace to how to use a computer properly outside of Facebook and Instagram.

It's working. It's just frustrating for Ally because she should know a lot of this stuff. But her mom is very, very controlling. I expect I am going to do this with my other niece Savannah when she graduates in a few years.

But it's working out well. Ally is going to start community college in September. But until then I am having her sit in my office and do various small tasks, take an online Microsoft Word tutorial, and catch up on various life goals.

I have been running my own business for six years now. I took it over from my Mother when she retired. My brother has no interest in the business, though he was offered some stake.

My mother ran the business for 37 years before I took it over. She hired a woman named Belladonna [54F] who has worked there for 24 years. As such, Belladonna feels she is pillar for the company and has asked to become a manager. She has tried to take on managerial roles before, but I wouldn't give her that job if someone paid me.

She is a little snarky, but I had no issue with it. Until I caught her calling Ally "Cinderella" and "Princess." She was also ordering Ally to get her coffee. When Ally said she was working on something, Belladonna told her "well, I guess you just sit down and do nothing then."
I fired her on the spot.

My Mother thinks I was an rear end in a top hat for doing that. But I don't tolerate people who think being older means they have a right to be snarky. I told people what Ally was doing at the job, and that she was not an intern. She was simply my niece assisting me on stuff I needed help with.
AITA?

It was your right and responsibility to initiate a disciplinary action on Belladonna for her unprofessional behavior, with the threat of termination if you wish, but 'firing her on the spot' is lovely, yes.

I'm also guessing Belladonna is actually vital to the business and it's going to fall into a death spiral.

I work in an office with similar politics. It's insane how spiteful and petty people can get when they don't feel they're getting the respect they "deserve". My boss brought his girlfriend in and slowly gave her more and more power until the entire old guard (except me) left in disgust. Incompetent would be a compliment for her. Belladonna reminds me of my former colleague who was my boss's right hand man and who literally started up the business in his his house with my boss. My boss eventually made this man go through his girlfriend for everything. The guy said fuckit and went off to make double his salary.

I [21F] am being harassed over social media because of an inappropriate comment.
Hi all.

About two weeks ago a girl from my school called Alicia was hit by a car and sadly passed away. Obviously everyone was extremely upset about what happened and a lot of people were paying their respects on social media. I stayed silent as I remembered somebody different.

Alicia started to pick on me from the moment she saw me. She made up a cruel nickname for me and soon everyone was calling me it. She and her friends used to spread these horrible rumours about me, including one that my dad was in prison (which they claimed was for something that rhymes with grape). I had maybe two or three friends in all the time I was in school because nobody wanted to go against her.

My parents and me tried to go to the teachers about her, but the problem was that she was one of the smart kids. She was top of every class and not a single one of them would ever hear a bad word about her. It got to the point that I tried to end it all because I felt so terrible, and though I was stopped, when the rumours spread she said it was shame it didn't work.

Due to all of that I was in no rush to pay my respects. I won't lie. I hate this person with a passion. Even then, I don't think she deserved to die. I didn't say anything at all. However, someone I'm friends with posted something about how when someone passes away, people who don't know/like that person will come in and say how wonderful they are. I commented that it works both ways and that when a horrible person dies, everyone will talk about what a lovely person they were even when that isn't true.

However, this person has a few mutuals who were in Alicia's friend-group. One of them, Grace, saw it an screenshotted it. I got a DM from her, saying ''That better not be about Alicia''. I tried to play dumb and say that it wasn't. Within an hour, I was getting messages from all kinds of people, sending me all kinds of abuse and harassing me, telling me it should have been me and that Alicia was worth a hundred of me etc.

It got to the point that Alicia's mother started messaging me too. She was saying what a vile person I am. Bear in mind that her she knew about what Alicia was doing to me and what I almost did because of it, and refused to admit that her daughter was responsible.

I have closed down all my social media but unfortunately some snake has found my number and I am still getting calls and texts abusing me. I have been threatened and am afraid to leave he house to go to work.

How am I supposed to sort this out?

TL:DR; I indirectly said something about the girl who tormented me who sadly passed away and now am being harassed over social media.

100% no, she's the type of barnacle that has managed to cling on so long she's convinced herself she's there for any reason but inertia, the former owner's good will, and her daughter's inclination not to upset her needlessly, which ceased to be a factor the second Bella started asserting her nonexistent power. Immediate termination would definitely not have happened if she wasn't a worthless PITA in other ways and she didn't just start being a bitch this week.

But “I’m vital to the business and it's going to fall into a death spiral” is definitely what Bella is going to mutter to herself over and over while she applies for unemployment.

The biker probably got the ticket for being on the sidewalk or not waiting for the crossing signal if it was an intersection.

Also $100 probably didn't even cover the ticket, rear end in a top hat.

The bicyclist deserved the ticket. I used to ride a bike to work every day and everything goes a lot better when you actually follow the laws.

Is this assault? Sexual assault? Not a crime?

quote:

Here's a weird one for you all. My gf and I prefer different personal lubes. About a week ago I found that my bottle of lube had become cloudy and had ribbons of a solid white substance floating in it. Given a recent dispute with my girlfriend regarding our sex life I took the bottle to her and asked if she put anything in it. Fast forward..she denied putting anything in it, I was suspicious, I kept trying to get the truth and after 1 week she finally admitted that 2 months ago she put peppermint oil in it to make me sting during/after masturbation. Luckily I hadn't used it in that period so I dont know what it would have done to me. I have read that peppermint oil can burn bare skin, should not be applied near the eyes or sensitive areas and should only be applied mixed in another base oil (for dilution). So my question..did she commit assault or attempted assault? (I am in Colorado). Any information or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Yeah, I'm kind of on the driver's side of this one. I doubt he's completely oblivious to pedestrians entering a cross walk but a bike flying in from out of nowhere when you're not expecting it leads to situations like this. Pretty much the whole reason why bikes aren't allowed on sidewalks and are expected to operate like road vehicles.

I was turning left the other day at a stoplight and the jackass across the street had the right of way and stopped and kept waving at me to turn. Just follow the goddamned rules and don't do me any "favors"!

God I loving hate cyclists. I routinely attend town hall meetings just to get those death machines off the roads. Might as well just replace the bicycle lane symbol with a skull and crossbones.

Unfortunately, civic action has not been as effective as I'd hoped. So recently I've been infiltrating local cycling groups and destroying them from the inside or converting them to superior 4 wheeled vehicles. My go to is to find the gayest spandex costume possible and strike up conversations with cyclists that subtly hint at the superiority of automobiles. For example:

"Greetings, fellow cyclist. I sure do love inconveniencing others with my dangerous hobby. Say, when you finally get struck down by one of those marvels of modern engineering what kind of car do you hope it will be? Personally, I'd like to be crushed in the spacious wheel well of the new 2019 Buick Envision. What with their luxurious interiors, dealer incentives, and 0% APR factory financing for qualified applicants I bet they wouldn't even care that my mangled corpse and bicycle had scratched their paintjob. Yep, that's how I want to go, when the cars finally get me."
