AITA for dismantling the bed and taking it elsewhere rather than sleep on the couch? posted:

This happened over the past few hours. So my wife and I started bickering because I forgot to buy her favorite kind of ice cream both times I went grocery shopping this month. I told her I'd go out and get some but she started yelling at me. She works a really stressful job so I just figured it was that.

She didn't want me to go and make a trip to the store just for the ice cream where our local food store is about an hour and a half away (living in a rural place sucks). I insisted, she said no, I said I wouldn't worry about it then. She got mad and said she would go get it and that I could sleep on the couch. I told her "I'll be godamned, I bought the bed and if you have a problem, you can sleep on the couch". She countered with the fact that her name is on the lease so it's her roof and I wouldn't be sleeping on the bed under her roof.

by this point it's escalated pretty bad just because of a childish quarrel. But I decided to take it a bit further. While she was gone, I took apart the entire bed and drove it to my friends house.

I'm currently laying in it and I'm about to turn my phone off to avoid the oncoming storm.

That is one of the funniest goddamn things I’ve read in this thread, holy poo poo.

EDIT: Like, what the hell did he say to his friend when he showed up at his front door holding pieces of a queen-sized bed?

She’s not the rear end in a top hat, the other person is. NM is super unique and you don’t get it unless you lived there. The people, culture, everything is unique even down to the “southwestern art” we assumed as stereotypical of NM artists.
No ones going to understand what Christmas is unless you sit down at a table in NM and people ask about bisconchitos at Christmas time and green chile stew in the fall and fry bread. It’s something unique
You can’t lie about something like that and still think it’s “lol cool”

Seafood isn't unique to New England or even the US. You can get excellent food in New England, no cuisine from here is good or flavorful. New England didn't invent fish.

Yeah, the way she latched on so hardcore to veganism gives a lot of credit to the idea the divorce was drug addiction related.

Usually the only way people like that can kick the habit is replacing it with being addicted to something "good" instead, like religion or diet

I'm pretty sure I pissed off reddit with telling them about how religion was a literal mind infection. That was fun, trolling /r/atheism with even harder atheism while drunk.

New England has been the nucleus of the US for so long that the best of its cuisine is now continent-wide and "just food." Do you like hamburgers? American pizza? Popcorn? Turkey? Rum? Pumpkin spice anything? Subs/grinders/heros? Maple syrup? Boston cream pies or donuts? Cookies?

York is in England, so obviously New York must be in New England.

I do enjoy how about 50% of the dishes Americans claim and get obsessed over are just sandwiches. I can't wait until some crappy town in the middle of Minnesota starts claiming to have invented the prawn cocktail crisp sandwich, and is the only place you can get one made "right."

The Italian sandwich originated in several different Italian American communities in the Northeastern United States from the late 19th to mid-20th centuries. Portland, Maine, claims to be the birthplace of the Italian sandwich and it is considered Maine's signature sandwich.

Or do you think it doesn't count because it was made by Italian immigrants like pizza was and apparently immigrants don't count as part of the region where they settle or something???

Yeah, Chicago is the true progenitor of American culture.

Or was, it's northern California now, but a bunch of transplants creating websites that kill jobs isn't culture.

i'm a fuckin Chicago fanboy(god i hope i end up living there again ) and i would def rank it in top 3 cities of like, American culture? idk i've never really thought about the rankings before, i feel like depending on the metric it varies quite wildly

like, american weed culture? Denver or San Fran prob? american pizza culture? NY/Chicago and maybe STL just cause they assert that it's a legit pizza style(it is i love all pizzas and they are good don't @ me).

just my dumb two cents
