There was a different story not too long ago that somebody's FWB left hash(?) in their bathroom, they did it and later told them they'd gotten ripped off, because they didn't get a buzz. The 'hash' was also coincidentally African black soap. I haven't seen that soap before, does it look/smell like some seriously primo poo poo?

WIBTA if I explain to my best friend that he handled his birthday gift from his girlfriend poorly? My friend (we'll call him Jeff) recently celebrated his 20th birthday and I drove 250 miles to see him. Before I left his girlfriend (let's call her Liz) was asking if the gift she had bought for him, a copy of Super Mario Party for the Switch, would be a good gift. I already had a copy of the game so I offered to play using my copy before she presented the gift to him so he would be familiar with the game. Fast forward to his birthday, the first issue arises. I asked if he was interested in joining us playing the game and he was immediately not interested. Jeff insisted that it was his birthday so he should get to choose what we play. Not wanting to create an argument we conceded and played his choice of Smash Ultimate. We still had fun it just put a wrench in the original plan. After we wrap up Liz gives his gift to him. Second issue. Jeff is underwhelmed at receiving it and remarks that it's nice, but not what he was hoping for. Since we had wrapped up playing Smash Jeff asked if we wanted to go to the mall. It's a short drive away and we needed to do a little shopping anyway so we agreed. I didn't realize until we got to the mall that Jeff had brought Mario Party with him. He was driving and had parked us at the entrance closest to GameStop. As soon as we enter the mall he makes a pretty direct route to GameStop. By this time Liz has also realized what is going to happen and she is just barely holding back tears. He returns the brand new unopened copy of Mario Party for Let's Go Eevee. We leave GameStop for another store and I go shopping with Liz. Jeff remained outside with a third friend, Monty. While talking to Monty, Jeff tried to rationalize returning his gift for another game. He claimed he knew Liz was interested in Eevee and they would never really appreciate Mario Party. Would I be the rear end in a top hat if I tried to explain to him that his decision to immediately return his gift in front of his girlfriend who got it for him? Edit TLDR: My best friend returned a birthday gift his gf bought him immediately after receiving it and with her in the store. Edit 2: This post has only been up for three hours but I've seen enough comments about it that I think it needs to be said. I'm not asking you to be judge and jury about their relationship, I'm not trying to be. I'm asking if you think my opinion on what happened would help him understand the gravity of what he did or if I should let them sort it out themselves. They're both adults and perfectly capable of talking to one another about their own relationship. Your comment isn't helpful if you say "they should break up" and making a mistake doesn't make you abusive. Edit 3: Jeff is not autistic, stop theorizing about his mental health. Comments about autism aren't helpful judgements of assholiness. If you're not going to use your rear end in a top hat-o-meter then just please don't comment. I'm not here for games or validation, I love my friends and I want to help them in the best way possible. Edit 4: Used "advice" too much.

[KY] My mother (48F) got pulled over with marijuana purchased recreationally in a different state. Cop is telling her they’ll reduce the charges if she doesn’t hire a lawyer. Hey LA! I’m posting this for my mother, who recently made a trip to Colorado and brought about 3.5 ounces of marijuana flower back home. She was nearly home when a cop pulled her over, searched the car, and arrested her. Side note, police in her town are notorious for harassing people. They will line up on the main highway and pull anyone over for no reason, presumably for an excuse to search the car for drugs. There is a large heroin problem there and tons of people have overdosed within the past 5 years so it’s the number one priority to the police force at the moment. When she was pulled over, the cop said she was swerving heavily (untrue but she doesn’t have a dash cam to prove she wasn’t) She was going right below the speed limit, and was sober at the time (confirmed by a roadside oral swab). The officer asked her several times if she had “drugs, spoons, needles, pipes, anything” and she stated no, then they brought a dog to search the car anyway. They opened the trunk and found the goods. She was arrested at this point, charged with 2 felonies, and taken to prison. This was Sunday night. She was charged with having over 8 ounces, when she had less than half than that so the charge became a felony vs. misdemeanor. Fast forward to Thursday, she went to pre trial, was released, and has an upcoming court date in two weeks. She went to the police station to retrieve her belongings and the cop who pulled her over was there, and inquired about her obtaining a lawyer. He stated he was at the arraignment and heard she was hiring her own, and proceeded to say he originally weighed wrong and she actually only had 3.5 ounces. and encouraged her not to hire one because they’re going to reduce charges to a misdemeanor While this seems good, I’m wondering if my mom should follow this advice or if the police may be trying to pull a fast one on her. I know getting a lawyer is always good advice, and I encouraged her to still seek one out. But maybe she’d be okay with a public defender or hiring a lawyer with a smaller fee, to save money. Is this a common thing that occurs or are the police trying to cover something up? I appreciate any responses in advance!

therobit posted:They are totally in the wrong for going through your poo poo, but a sad fact of life is that you may as well hit the eject button now because after cussing them out you have torpedoed any chance you might have had at a normal relationship with your in laws. And you do NOT want to have a hosed up relationship with your spouse's family, especially if you wind up having kids. It depends on how the fiance feels about basically having minimal contact with his parents from there on out. They sound like huge assholes so he may even just be cool with practically cutting contact. He may have even been doing that already and this was a reluctant attempt to have them meet his future spouse, to see if they've matured or grown out of past lovely behaviors. lovely inlaws alone aren't enough to torpedo a relationship imo QuarkJets fucked around with this message at 07:25 on Mar 18, 2019 |

It sounds like the fiancé is chilling with her and if he's sticking up for her over his parents then that is fine. Not having to deal with lovely inlaws is probably a net win for her in the long run.

Oh I found that other post about idiots discovering weird-looking soap! He (34M)accused me of leaving crack behind in his bathroom. Then he smoked the mystery substance! What is wrong with people. quote:I met this guy on a dating app. Things were going well, we had been on a few dates, for about 6 weeks I would say. The last time I was over at his place, things went really well and I thought I would definitely like to see more of him...

AITA for being upset that my boyfriend would want DNA testing done if I had a baby? Let me start by saying that we've been together for 3 years and have a great and very loving relationship with mutual respect. We do plan to marry eventually. We were casually talking about what we'd do if I became pregnant, and he said that a DNA test would need to happen once I had the child. His reasoning for this is because he doesn't "want his family's name ruined" over a girl, referring to his family's strong background within the military and line of ancestry. He insists that it's not because he doesn't trust me, but rather more of a reassurance thing. I would never even think to cheat or betray his trust in any way. Am I wrong for having my feelings kinda hurt over this? Update: I did not tell him it made me upset or start a fight over it. I would not refuse to take the test if it gave him peace of mind. It just caught me off guard by him saying something like that.

AITA for leaving my pregnant gf after a fake "miscarriage"? Basically my parents, her parents, and nearly all my friends are calling me the rear end in a top hat for breaking up with my pregnant girlfriend (it's my kid) so Just looking for perspective here. I'll keep things as objective as possible and happily accept my final judgement. 3 months ago we found out that my gf (or ex now) is pregnant. It was a big surprise since we take precautions (condoms, BC) but she said it might've been a broken condom + she was bad about staying on BC routinely. Regardless, it was confirmed she's pregnant. I'm 21 and she's 20. I took the news badly at first. I became surly, didn't talk, and just kept to myself for 2 whole days right after she told me. I was terrified and did NOT want to be a father at all. I just needed time to adjust to the news. I think she expected happiness from both of us as she imagined I'd scoop her up and kiss her and cry tears of happiness after hearing she's pregnant (I know this bc she even referenced that scene in The Office where pam/jim find out they're having a baby). Our relationship during this time was extremely rocky because she wanted us to be engaged before the baby came, and I dragged my feet. I took her to all of her appointments, paid for as much as I could afford, and was there 24/7 for anything she needed. I guess it was more emotional connection that I just couldn't force through and she could tell. A few weeks ago she sits me down and tells me she lost the baby. She says she had stomach cramps and then she miscarried. I was asking her a lot of health questions (I didn't know if a miscarriage this late into a pregnancy was normal?) and she kinda waves me off and is like don't worry I'm ok. After this our relationship's getting slightly better only because I'm slightly more relaxed now. She could tell and asks me to be honest about how I feel about the miscarriage. I tell her I'm sad it's happened so suddenly and mostly still worried for her but deep down I am really relieved because I 100% wasn't ready to be a father. WRONG answer. She starts screaming, crying, throwing things at me. She says she's not miscarried, that it was a test to see my dedication and I've failed it completely. In short we fought for like 3 whole days after this, with little sleep bc she'd randomly throw cups of icy water on me if I dozed off. At the end of that I said I can't do this anymore and broke up with her. I told her I'll be there for the baby and I'll pay my share of whatever is needed but I can't be her boyfriend and I can't marry her. ----- Now friends and family are all telling ME that I overreacted, that its just pregnancy hormones and could I blame her? Everyone's saying things like "you can't leave a 20 year old girl to be a single mother" but I know that if I married her it could be the worst mistake of my life. AITA?

These staunch conservative military dudes are so stupid, the worst outcome for him is everyone finding out that his wife gave birth to someone else's child, which is only provable by making her take a paternity test in the first place. And asking for the test proves that he's a genetically weak candidate for fatherhood hahaha Good on him for making those requirements clear up-front instead of springing them on her, he gets credit for that at least. Now she can leave him and find someone better
