I think i'm the better person because i'm mean to everyone, where on reddit people will only be mean to the 'safe' targets that can be disrespected 'politically correctly', meaning basically white people, usually poor and uneducated white people, conservatives, and other sorts of commonplace people whereas it is much less accepted for people of color to be treated with that same degree of disrespect. I am mean to everyone, rich or poor, white or black, happy or depressed, i will textually abuse you to no end, despite anything, because i'm an rear end in a top hat, but i'm an equal opportunity rear end in a top hat, so i think i'm more of a decent person than usual redditors who will only talk relentless remorseless poo poo about people who their group deems should be demonized, and then be all pissy and defensive if anyone talks poo poo about their group or people they defend.

I preach saying I should have the right to beat other people's children in public. I preach telling people we should kill all of the kids with cancer and old people to save money on health insurance, I preach saying that when people wanted equal rights for slaves that means the whites should have been enslaved, when women wanted equal rights that means men can no longer vote. I will be mean to everyone and disrespect everyone. Nobody is better than anyone else, they are all the bottom rung of society, so I hate everyone to the degree that a vehement nationalist racist would hate a black man who flew a plane into the world trade center and raped 100 white women on the way.

Everyone is that lovely to me, at least I'm an egalitarian though. I'm not that angry, the way I feel about people is like having a retarded child, you just stop giving a gently caress and hope the child dies instead of making your life loving intolerable and painfully retarded just by existing. Of course it can be said I am so viciously pretentious, conceited, and arrogant that I have a God complex and I am consumed by attention seeking narcissism, but on this website that would be like saying that I breathe oxygen. See you in hell.

So this situation happened a few years ago but still gets brought up from time to time at family events. When I was in high school my family was low on money. My parents pulled me aside and told me that they had to cut costs and that I probably wouldn’t get much more than a stocking this year. Being in high school I understood money was tight and they probably wanted to make sure my little brother had a good Christmas. I made one simple request, some new mesh for my lacrosse stick (about $30) they said okay. Christmas came and everyone had gifts under the tree. We opened the gifts one at a time so my parents could take pictures, explain the gifts, etc. When my older brother opened his and got a PlayStation game I got a little confused but I wrote it off as that being his one big thing. My first gift was a hand me down pair of sunglasses that my dad had been wearing for month. The loop happened again and my older brother opened up a brand new tackle box. The pattern continued with me getting hand me downs and dollar store gags while he got much more expensive things. By the end I was pretty pissed and I yelled at my parents which started an argument prompting me to stay with a friend until after New Years. While I was really pissed at the disparity the thing that really set it off was that they didn’t even get me the one request I had after having spent well over 300-400 on each of my brothers. They later explained that they wanted my older brother to have a memorable Christmas since it was his last one before he turned 18. I figured my younger brother would get that treatment but I had assumed when my parents told me they weren’t going to be able to afford it that my older brother was getting passed too in favor of our younger brother. AITA for starting a fight on Christmas and not speaking to them till after New Years?

quote:

This happened yesterday. To give a bit of background, I work at a golf course and a girl I had known for years but never been friends with started working at the course. We ended up becoming really good friends and we both looked forwards to shifts together.

The other day she invited me out to play golf with her and another girl from work. I thought it sounded fun so I said yes. The day of, the plan changed and she was now bringing her boyfriend and the other girl was bringing a friend. The course only allows groups of four to go out so she told me to come with her and her boyfriend. I thought that would be fine, but going into it I was hoping this wouldn't be a third wheel situation.

We got to the first tee box after stocking up on drinks and immediately I noticed her boyfriend had a sleek black remote in his hand. When she got up to use her driver, she was clutching her groin and telling her boyfriend to stop while she was driving as her boyfriend was laughing. I think I caught on almost immediately as I knew she is a very sexual person, and I know remote control vibrators exist. I was in disbelief and kept playing. This continued to happen for about 8 holes of golf until by the 9th she claimed to have turned it off. It was almost constant throughout the whole round, with them discussing different levels and stuff on the remote. The whole thing was done right in front of me and very obviously, I pretended I didn't know what was going on as it was incredibly uncomfortable. Luckily by the 9th hole we had ran out of balls and had to call it. They drove me home and I left the car thinking that was one of the weirdest, most inconsiderate things someone has done to/around me.

Flashforward to today when I'm at work till 3 and she started at 1. It was at work that I realized how hosed up the whole situation was, and how she thought that it would okay to do that around me. When she showed up to work I was pretty cold, only really saying the bare minimum, whereas normally we would be talking a whole lot. After a bit, she asked me if something was wrong. She was was asking if something happened this morning or today, as if she thought I hadn't picked up on what had happened. I told her that golfing with her and her boyfriend was really weird. She asked what happened, and I told her "I'm pretty sure you know what happened". She still didn't fill in the blanks, until I mentioned the remote. At which point she said something along the lines of "I'm sorry if that made you uncomfortable, I don't I don't know why I agreed to that, I don't know what else to say". I asked her why she would tell me to golf with her boyfriend and her if she planned on doing that, and she didn't have an answer for me. After a few minutes of that I had enough and left to do a different task away from her.

I really don't know if there's going to be any recovering from this as honestly I'm kinda shocked by the lack of respect and her choice to do that in front of me. I really enjoyed being friends with her prior to this and nothing similar ever happened, but I'm truly shocked and kind of disgusted by her actions.

I'm curious to hear if people think I'm overreacting, or I'm in the right. Thanks for hearing me out.

Well, title says it all really. Obvious when we were kids it wasn’t weird but I’m now 26...they often ask me to ‘leave the water in’ after I’ve had a bath so they can go in after me which personally I think is weird. They also look visibly annoyed when I say I don’t want to use their bath water after them as I’d rather use clean water - they claim this is a waste of money.

For info, money isn’t tight around the house (dad has a very good job etc). However they do let me stay rent free (don’t know if this makes a difference?!)

Does anyone else even do this!? Honest I don’t know any of my friends who do so I don’t understand why my parents are so ok with to the point where questioning/ objecting to it is genuinely confusing for them. Just for reference they’re totally clean hygienic people they bathe every day, brush their teeth, deodorant all the basic stuff obviously so it’s just this part I don’t understand.

AITA for hiding my amputation during a job interview?

So my left arm is amputated from the bottom of the elbow down due to an accident a few years back (I’m right handed, if that matters). Anyway, I’ve been struggling to find a job after college and finally landed an interview for a desk job. Based on the job description, it seems like the job involves a lot of clerical work on the computer (creating spreadsheets, sending emails, etc.). I am proficient at using a computer but of course, it’s a bit more difficult without a second hand. I don’t really use a prosthetic because it’s uncomfortable and I can’t really type with it anyway.

Fast forward to the interview, I decide to put on my prosthetic that I rarely use and I put it in an arm sling. I also wrap it up like it’s broken. With the fingers part, I kind of kept it tucked under my blazer. Basically, it just looked like I had an injured arm. One of the interviewers looked at my arm and something like “how’s your arm?” and I replied with a slight joke “‘‘tis but a flesh wound.” The interviewer laughed and asked if I needed any accommodations before we start. I said no and we began the interview. It went really well and I was called for a second interview the next week.

I told my friends about this and they all more or less said I’m an rear end in a top hat for lying about my disability. My thought process was that a company shouldn’t be biased in hiring people based on their disabilities anyway, and I’m confident I can do my job well (albeit I could do much better with two hands), so I don’t think I did anything wrong. AITA?

Edit: just wanted to point out that I did write down my true typing speed on my resume, so anything they’ve assumed about my ability to type quickly was true
