AITA for refusing to cover my really noticeable tattoo in front of a kid? I have one eyeball tattooed blue. I was in school, picking up my little sister. I removed my sunglasses because I was in the building, there was this one woman, as soon as she saw it she told me to put my sunglasses back on because she didn’t want her kid seeing this. I really thought she was joking at first. I said no and got on my phone, he was talking to other parents but I had headphones on so couldn’t hear what. Bell rang and kids came out. She immediately snatched her son by arm when he looked at me. His hand was obviously hurt. I’m not that loving intimidating. That kid smiled at me and I waved at him, he waved back. Parent called me an rear end in a top hat and left.

AITA for threatening to cut off my son if he continues his relationship with his current girlfriend? I know how this sounds, but hear me out. I worked hard and made smart financial decisions so I’m now a wealthy guy. Due to this, I’ve had plenty of so called “friends or family” approach my family with ulterior motives. The most recent case of this is my son’s current girlfriend. They are both 17. Now, this girl is clearly with him for our family’s resources but unfortunately my son, viewing her in rose colored glasses just doesn’t see it. I’ve met her family, they are an absolute disgrace and all of them are lazy deadbeats. Their parents already tried to siphon money off me several times claiming we are “family”. This girl is an embarrassment to our family and my son deserves better. She’s already a bad influence on him, he used to be a stellar student but recently his performance has been slipping. She has repeatedly manipulated him into buying expensive things for her and her family. If he’s really interested in dating, I’m more than willing to set him up with one of the daughters of my acquaintances. These are ambitious, talented and well mannered girls that are much more suitable for him. I’ve suggested this to him and he got angry at me. I’ve honestly had enough, he’s being manipulated and I’m sick of it. So I proposed that I’ll cut him off when he’s 18. I told him to go ahead and tell his girlfriend that he’ll be penniless when he’s 18, let’s see how much she truly “loves” him then. My wife thinks I’m harsh but I disagree. I didn’t work hard all my life to provide for family, only to see my son being taken advantage of by a girl who is hoping to get an easy ride.

Both are bad, but the former is especially bad since she has a 20+ year retirement horizon and that is the absolute best time to go all in on stocks and choose the Aggressive Equity option in your 401k. I have managed to talk a few people out of buying crypto and steer them toward funds. Just the biggest and most glaring flaw in the crypto market is the price volatility. You don't get gigantic price swings of hundreds or thousands of dollars unless it's a very small market with few participants. The more people trading a security the more stable the price becomes.

AITA for not attending my Dad's wedding, and now refusing to talk his wife? They decided they were going to marry in Disney World Florida, bare in mind we are from the UK. At this point, I had just started my university studies, and my university had a strict attendance policy, where as 2 weeks with no absence lead to automatic withdrawal from your course. I then decided, with upcoming coursework and exams, I would not be attending as one of her bridesmaids. I had a very civil conversation with my dad, and he understood my reasonings, and assured me it was a very mature decision for me to make. She started ignoring me, basically dismissing my attendance in a room. I started paying rent for food, and she'd cook me dinner, but that was it. About a year into this,I had got home from university, she slammed the bathroom door closed, and shouted something like "ugh what disgusting humans". A few minutes later, she posted on Facebook "I have to live with some of the most disgusting people ever.. I wish it was just me and my husband" I LOST THE PLOT. I packed a bag, called my aunt and asked if I could come stay for a couple days. I text my dad, told him what she had said on Facebook, and I concluded it must have been about me because I was the only one home with her at this point. He asked me to come home, I said I was going to stay here until Sunday night,, but he best be assured I was livid at this point and didn't want to see her smug face. He spoke to her this weekend, and said it wasn't about me, it was about a colleague at work, and she is sorry. I didn't for a second believe this at all, because why would she apologize to me for something that supposedly wasn't about me in the first place. He then asked if we'd agree to a sit down and chat to sort things out, I said no and went about my life again. My boss asked why we didn't talk (she was a friend too)and convinced me to extend an olive branch, a truce essentially, and so I did. Her birthday was coming up, so I decided to buy her a present. I got her a card, a present I KNEW she would like, and set about my plan. I walked up to her while she was on her desk, I said the words "Happy Birthday, I have a present for you" and the ignorant being she is, did NOT even turn around to take the present from me, she simply said "Just leave it there" and kept working. I was MAD. I dropped the present on that table and to this day I refuse to make an effort with her anymore. She out right ignored my attempt at a truce and I concluded she must be the person with a stick up her arse. I was 20 at this point, I was an adult, but this woman was 35, being so ignorant to her step-daughter. I was mature enough to make an effort and she threw it in my face. The only thing that makes some sense is that she is upset I didn't go to the wedding, but it doesn't mean I didn't approve of it. AITA for doing this?

AITA for not wanting to be “twinning” with my partner? Bit of a back story. My partner and I (both female) just moved in together and already have a pretty similar sense of style (skinny pants and hoodies/t shirt), she has about triple the amount of clothes that I do, plenty of options. So when we first moved in together we were getting ready to leave for sports, I put on a shirt and leggings, leave the room and about 2 mins later she walks out wearing the same thing, same colours for both top and bottoms. We laugh it off, take a funny snap and go on our way. It then happens 2 or 3 more times, it starts to bug me. I’m okay having a similar style, but I don’t want to look the exact same every time we leave the house. I speak with her about it, she doesn’t seem to have an issue but I let her know it bugs me (and usually end up changing). This morning, I had just bought a new top. A colour new to me, which she has 2 tops in. Out of her 40 other options. I get dressed and jokingly say “this is what I’m wearing, hope you don’t accidentally put on the same thing!” Laugh, and leave the room. I’m getting things done in the kitchen, we’re running late and need to leave ASAP to get to work. I turn around, she has on the EXACT same thing. Jeans and the coloured top. AITA for getting upset and having a silent ride to work? Edit: I’ve spoken to her in the past and she is well aware of how much it bugs me. I had explained to her that I wanted to have my own style and don’t like looking too similar to someone else I’m hanging/going to be seen with, even with my friends. Edit #2: I think I’ve come to realize that it’s less about the clothes and more about the fact she’s not respecting my feelings after I’ve already spoken to her about it bugging me

It really bothers me that so many young girls get knocked up and think having the kid is a good idea. There’s so much information to the contrary, and it’s a decision that ruins multiple people’s lives for years and years. And even if you do everything right as a parent, there’s no actual cure for stupid.

I think your frustration comes from the fact that you're actually posting from a mirror universe in relation to the rest of us. You see here in this world, woman are ostracized, harassed or worse for considering abortion. This is assuming they live somewhere where unconditional abortion is even a legal option. A state has recently been in the news because they are planning a new bill which would make it illegal to attempt to travel somewhere else to have one too.

My employer says females can’t show tattoos but males can, is this legal? I live in Washington state and work at a fine dining restaurant. My employer made an addendum to our employee handbook that says “female managers may not show tattoos”. It specifies only that females can’t show their tattoos. This sounds like discrimination to me. We have a male bartender/manager who has full sleeve tattoos on both arms but he is openly allowed to display them. Is this legal?

It’s a scam a lot of inspection places run I.e. they fail you, but hey we’ve got wipers for you for $X and we can get you passed right now! I personally have been failed on wipers, for brand new wipers that I installed on the way to the inspection place.

areyoucontagious posted:“Don’t go getting naked in front of random people, especially when I’m not there” is not a weird rule at all and is probably pretty standard in normal, healthy relationships In weird third world puritan countries like the USA, sure. If you tried to lay down this law on your partner in just about any Northern European country you'd get dumped on the spot.

Being aware of your wife's health and treating her well when she's feeling lovely is good. Doing it as some weird Pavlovian conditioning to make her not want to get pregnant because she thinks she wouldn't be pampered without a period is both incredibly stupid and creepy.
