LadyPictureShow posted:I was looking for a specific recent 'stranger living in attic' story, where they used a selfie stick to take a picture of the attic because the tenant thought she had raccoons up there and it came back with this creepy photo of a guy. Seems like a pretty reasonable fear at this point.

Though one time raccoons got into the roof of my building and were busting into apartments through the HVAC system. I guess it's kinda similar. I said unreasonable, because it's generally unlikely to happen, much like my other fear: snake coming up through your toilet pipe.

When I was little and the school wanted to bump me up a few grades, my folks refused because my sister had so many social and emotional issues after she was bumped. So I got to be bored in class instead of doing interesting things. 19 & 17 is perfectly reasonable for dating.

Why would you buy/rent a house without looking at all of it first? He lived there over a month without tossing any crap in there? This feels like internet b.s.

So once like a decade ago my apartment was on the top floor. I got curious and opened the hatch into the attic, and found that the wall between my attic and the next apartment's had a human-sized hole ripped into it. Also it took me months to explore the two attics in a house I bought. Totally conceivable that someone doesn't use it to store stuff, especially if there's plenty of space elsewhere.

AITA for doing a chargeback on the girl scouts? I bought a box of girl scout cookies from a table located outside Save Mart (a supermarket chain in California) a couple of months ago. I used a Chase credit card to pay through the Square reader. I bought one box, which was supposed to be $5, but I got charged $15. I couldn't determine how to request a refund because there is no local Girl Scout council in my town, so they were probably from somewhere else. I also asked the Save Mart manager, and he has no idea. So finally, I had to call Chase and do a chargeback for $10. My wife and daughter (who were both involved in girl scouts when they were younger) are completely outraged with me. They say that the girl that did it is going to get into trouble, and the council is going to get charged a penalty by their bank. They insist that I should have just let it go as a donation, because it is my fault for not verifying the amount on the screen before signing it. So, Reddit, AITA?

Drug dealer (23M) wants to date me (22F)? There is a guy I’m seeing right now and he made it clear he wants me to be his girlfriend. He expressed he admires everything about me and wants to be serious with me. I’m 22 and he’s 23, so we’re close in age but live very different lifestyles. I’m in nursing school, about to graduate next year, super shy, awkward and nerdy. He, on the other hand, is more outgoing, does landscaping, makes music, and sells weed as a main source of income. He’s not in school but would like to go sometime once he situates himself financially and make the time to do it. He’s had a hard childhood and been through a lot. He grew up in a poor neighborhood and has been selling drugs since he was a kid. However, he had to do that and drop out of school to support his mom and his brothers. I do find him attractive and sincere, but I feel a little uneasy. I want to move forward with this guy, but it feels as if I moved below my standards. I’m a nonjudgmental person and the type of man I want to date doesn’t necessarily have to be in college. I at least want him to be educated as far as getting a diploma from high school and make an honest living to support himself, but in his case he doesn’t have both. I want to be able to bring him around my family and meet his as well. The thing about his lifestyle is that he’d rather not be seen out too much because of what he does, and legally, things can go really wrong if I happen to be around with him. He told me upfront that he’s been selling drugs since he was young, so he’s used to dealing and the risks that come with it, but I am often concerned about his safety and whereabouts. Aside from this, he seems like a decent person and wanted to know if it’s worth giving a shot? By the way, I do not smoke at all and he respects that. I also have no interest in the money he makes as I’d rather use my own. TL;DR: Drug dealer wants to date me, is it worth giving him a chance?

Smirking_Serpent posted:AITA for doing a chargeback on the girl scouts? I had 2 related situations recently: I left a $20 gift certificate for my barber in a stack of clothes I was donating. I forgot to remove it before dropping the clothes in the bin for at church (collecting for a local high school kid) and had a severe Larry David moment the next day considering whether or not to go retrieve it. I ultimately decided that kid's just getting a free haircut. My daughter sold Girl Scout cookies this year and one rear end in a top hat actually bounced a ($15) check and it was in fact a big drat hassle for my wife. This guy sucks.

AITA for calling my cousin an "entitled millennial princess" at Easter dinner? Last night I may have caused a scene and honestly, I want to know if I was in the wrong. So for Easter, my grandparents always host a large dinner for all the family that can come. Last night though, not many people showed up. All but my parents and my uncle said they would not be coming for one reason or another (most had pretty good excuses to be fair to them.). Because of the possible low turn out my parents asked me to come and I agreed. Like we expected, very few showed up. Only me and my parents along with my uncle and his two kids. Enter Jay. Jay is my cousin. She's 19 and she is just finishing up her first year at university. I had been close to jay but according to her brother, she has become super "pc" since entering into academia. I understand this. I'm half way through my masters program right now and along with being gay, I have seen how sensitive some people can be. The night started normal as my grandmother finished dinner up. Me, my dad, and my grandpa decided to have some drinks before and talk. One of the jokes my grandfather always would make is that I will make a good housewife one day to a fine business man (He's not homophobic. He's one of the most caring men I know. This joke comes from the fact I made it when I came out and he won't let me live it down). My cousin heard this and came into the room to tell my grandfather that was "insanely inappropriate and homophobic." and that he "should be ashamed he would treat his grandson like that". Things got really awkward after that and we just drank in silence till dinner. When dinner finally came and we sat down. My grandmother wanted to say grace but my cousin asked if we could to a "non-denominational prayer" instead. I scoffed at this and told her to "lighten up" because she was acting like an "entitled millennial princess". She got mad at me and tried to tell me about how I'm being "inappropriate" but I shut her down and told her to "gently caress off with that PC bullshit". She ended up leaving the table and sitting in the living room while we ate. Her parents left with her pretty quickly after. Before they did though, she sent me a text saying that I had "internalized homophobia" and I needed to "educate myself". I showed my uncle this and he only apologized before leaving. I don't really feel bad and my dad says I did the right thing, but my mom thinks I over reacted a bit. My grandfather said what she said didn't bother him and I shouldn't felt like I needed to stand up for him while my grandmother sent me a thank you this morning. I don't know though. Was I an rear end in a top hat?

AITA for not rescheduling a nighttime party because my sister is afraid of assaults at night? So I got engaged three weeks ago and my fiancé and I are throwing a celebratory rooftop party in our city. We booked this really nice space that overlooks the skyline and plan to host from sunset to midnight. I’ve already bought string lanterns and candles for atmosphere and the theme is basically food, alcohol, and gorgeous night view of our city. My sister (who’s going to be a bridesmaid) found out and asked me if we could reschedule the party for noonish. I asked her why and she said it’s because she doesn’t feel safe going into that part of the city at night, because that’s statistically where the most assaults on women happen. I told her I can call one of my fiancé’s best friends who lived near her to pick her up and drive her over so she can go with him and his wife, and then I’ll personally drive her home after. But she said no, because she just doesn’t want to be in the city fullstop at night. She says dark alleys and alcohol and strange men make her anxious and there will be some combination of that at my party. I basically shrugged to this and said, fine, you can not come if you want but there’s 56 people coming already. I can’t change plans just for you. Well I thought that was that but she told my mom and my aunts and now everyone is calling me an rear end in a top hat and bridezilla for not accommodating my sister’s fears. They think I’m being selfish for not moving the party up by a few hours so my sister can go. I think everyone is overreacting but not sure what I should’ve done better.

So what is with all these families all defending the single whiny person for not getting their way during someone else's wedding? I don't get it. Sister needs therapy if she's afraid of being abducted or whatever under those circumstances. What a whiny-rear end wet blanket.

Heck, even if you don't have an attic, you're not safe. In South Oakland in the mid-90s, two neighbors in adjoining row houses were feuding, and one tunneled into the neighbor's house to kill her.

Human ingenuity and creativity being used to solve problems. Someday, if you are in a feud with someone (like a bank or loan collections agency), you can remember this story as you tunnel your way into the CFO's office space to lay in wait for the loan negotiation. Once you've hammered out the details, the financial burden will be shifted to the executive level and they'll have to deal with it or lose face.

I enjoy that "millennial" is just used to mean "lovely young people" even though some of us are mid-30s now, and I assume some of us are also not that lovely. A lot of people don't even consider the millennial cohort to extend into the 2000s.

Me [26F] with my bf [29M] 3 months, our relationship was perfect but the last 6 weeks have shown a bad side re temper and selfishness [new] submitted 7 hours ago by batterseadogshome quote:As title says - we met 3 months ago and it was the best start ever. I've genuinely never had someone be so interested in me from the start and it was really refreshing, he was complimenting me constantly, wanted to see me all the time, we seemed to have so much in common and we have great sex (like the best I've ever had by FAR).

Pretty solid bingo score here: https://imgur.com/gallery/BItVvDs quote:Was riding my bike to work 12 miles because my car broke down and crashed. Both bones in my forearm broke. My hand was limp and my forearm was bent at a 90* angle and dangling (think those cringe injury videos where it’s painful to watch but you can’t look away) Someone stopped and called an ambulance and I asked them to take me to the hospital where my wife works. Got transferred to another hospital because I have nerve damage and ended up having surgery putting plates, screws, and pins in my arm. I have been here for 4 days. My wife called and said she wants a divorce because she’s embarrassed I took an ambulance for a broken bone and because the ambulance is expensive (having a lot of money issues which is definitely not related to her spending >$1,000/mo on her horse) Didn’t even ask how I was. I guess though I’m relieved. She clearly doesn’t actually care about me anyway. Now I can get back to the Army, which is the only job I’ve ever had that I actually loved, which I left because she threatened to kill herself if I didn’t get out.
