If the mother was so concerned about the cataracts than maybe she should’ve been the one to drive. Also, few pages late but ahegao yawner should probably learn to cover her mouth when she yawns. Not to mention I’ve never seen someone yawn with their tongue out and eyes crossed. I do agree with whoever said there’s some stupid hypersensitivity going on in that social circle. Some of those friends sound like awful loving people to hang around.

And don’t most homes have a drawer full of chargers left over from old devices? He said she doesn't drive well, but from a narrator this unreliable, it could mean literally anything. It took me a long time to learn to drive because I was anxious and my dad would always yell at me at the slightest anything, so I'm afraid she could be in that same boat.

WIBTA for going to HR about a coworker drunkenly outing me to several coworkers and my sister while we were out for drinks?quote:Some backstory: I work at a large corporate location with about 3,000 people. We’re broken up into teams of about 7-10 that all sit in a large cube together. I (22F) confided in a team member (25F) a few months ago that I’m bisexual. I regretted it immediately because her response was “so you want to gently caress me? Ew.” I told her that she is not my type and I do not, in fact, want to gently caress her. She dropped it until the next day when she came back over to my desk and said “so I was thinking about it last night, I think I’m insulted. Why don’t you think I’m attractive?” I brushed it off and we moved on and never mentioned it again. Holy gently caress, this woman is awful In a better world, HR would shut that poo poo down and fire her, but they can't and won't

Wait, so the story is literally "dad picked daughter up from work, two blocks later daughter realizes she forgot her charger, they drive back to get it, and the four blocks of extra driving is a screaming offense? Because the daughter 'made' her father drive, except he won't let her drive for herself?" Jesus Christ,

Judging by the title i'm going to say no AITA for not wanting to unblock my sister from my life after 25+ years of toxicity? quote:So, of course, I can't quite go into too many details surrounding the full toxicity of the relationship between myself and my older sister (Mary). She has been verbally and emotionally abusive since I was about 5 years old. Up until I got too big for her to push around, there were many instances of "light" physical abuse, as well. Both my parents completely understand why I can no longer allow her to have any role in my life and are aware that I've blocked her on all platforms such that contact is impossible. My other sister (Christina), who has experienced the abuse firsthand, was also very understanding of this - up until now. Still no

DemoneeHo posted:WIBTA for going to HR about a coworker drunkenly outing me to several coworkers and my sister while we were out for drinks? Sounds like her coworkers either didn't care or more likely thought it was a stupid drunk joke. She should drop it because the coworker is leaving (in case other coworkers hear it or it prompts her to bring it up again) and if it comes up just lie and say she's seen her sloppy drunk before at other bars or something and she says stupid poo poo. Hell, she had suspicions the coworker was bisexual from the way she was looking at her that night. Or just be incredibly, loudly gay like I am drat the consequences. I show up to work with a large, pink Japanese war banner with the Isis dildo symbol on it to work every day and nobody even comments on it. cumshitter fucked around with this message at 05:09 on Jun 1, 2019 |

Friends bailed on my party. Should I make a thing out of it?quote:tl;dr: i attempted to host a party with my boyfriend. every single person who RSVP'd to come bailed on me within an hour of when the party was supposed to start. We spent around $150 and cooked and cleaned for hours to prepare. Should I bring it up to them and risk causing tension in our friend group? Sounds like you might be lower on their friend tier list than second.

Tier system is incredibly passe. I use a 90 point inspection system for all friends then group them into a logarithmic scale that is then normalized. Using this graph I assign each friend a color and use these colors as an indicator of friendship level. Keeps things civilized.

Literally A Person posted:Tier system is incredibly passe. I use a 90 point inspection system for all friends then group them into a logarithmic scale that is then normalized. Using this graph I assign each friend a color and use these colors as an indicator of friendship level. Keeps things civilized. eh, the "tier" thing is a bit of an odd way of putting it, but there are definitely different levels of closeness when it comes to friends, especially when you're new to an area, it's not meant to be an assessment of their worth as individuals, just how close you are/how well you know them. It's not like you'd tell your darkest secrets to everyone you consider to be a friend or would invite to a BBQ, or expect the same from them. Heck, you get to know people better by doing things with them and inviting them to poo poo, it's not a BAD thing to invite people you don't know that well to parties, it's how friendships develop and grow Bailing on plans at the last minute for no good reason is a lovely, lovely thing to do. I had a BBQ last weekend, invited a ton of people in a general shoutout, got 8 definites and 12 maybes so I was expecting maybe 10-15 people. In the end a grand total of 6 showed up (one being a plus 1 who wasn't even on the initial list), only three of the definites, and none of the other five even texted beforehand or apologised after. I don't know them all terribly well or consider them bosom buddies (again, not a judgement of them as people, just a realistic perspective of how well we know one another) but it's seriously loving rude all the same, especially for an event you know someone is catering. Some of the no shows had even said they'd bring extra salads and poo poo. In the end all the food I'd prepped did get eaten, but only because the folks who'd brought extra just took it home with them uncooked. Don't say you're gonna do something then just... not do it. This should be the golden rule.

Large organisations that I’ve worked at absolutely consider functions like that an extension of the workplace and any ‘dignity at work’ or ‘respect at work’ policies would apply. I used to send a memo to entire teams every Xmas reminding them of this fact before they all went out on their dept Xmas do, got smashed and started getting lairy as I’d be dealing with the aftermath later. Sometimes you feel like a real killjoy working in HR

The whole attitude of just not having any concept of other people's time at all.  These people are enormous assholes. If you say no in the first place, that’s fine; I’ll do something else. But don’t say yes initially then bail later because now I’m stuck with nothing to do, or having cooked food that nobody’s going to eat or etc.The only one of those excuses I’d consider legit is #1* since serious headaches are no joke (assuming it’s real and not just a “let’s invent a way out of this”). For the rest, I would sure as poo poo call those ‘friends’ out. Preferably either in person or over the phone - NOT text message because you want to hear their tone of voice when they respond. If they start justifying themselves or a half-assed “oh I’m sorry” apology or don’t sound like they really care...it’s time to knock them lower on your tier list to “casual acquaintance”. *#3 having to work doesn’t count as legit for me since the day before before she’d ‘100% not be working and had told all the clients that.” And really, there’s no way you could have done both by working in the morning before the party? If #3 had initially been more equivocal and warned that she might need to work, then that’d be a different situation. MagusofStars fucked around with this message at 09:48 on Jun 1, 2019 |

I'm just loving the death march drive of having your husband who recently had eye surgery turn around and not go two extra blocks to pick up a charger cable or whatever. Commit to it. Don't pull the safety card when you're two blocks short. If I'm getting in the car with a guy who legally shouldn't be allowed to drive, his hysterically angry wife, and their daughter who is expected to be an emotional punching bag then I am all in. Don't pussy out on me. I want this poo poo to end like the car falling off the cliff at the end of a Toonces the Cat Who Could Drive A Car sketch from early 90's SNL.

My (31F) partner (32M) is dating someone else from tinder, i feel left behind.quote:5 years in a relationship. We were living together before 4 years and a half but living separately 2 monts ago.My partner always wanting to date another ladies. Since we decided to live separately, he finally get what he wants. To meet a cabin crew ladies from tinder. They just personally met before yesterday, they ate dinner somewhere else then take her back to his room, had a vodka and teasing each other until they kissed each other.like my partner said "it was a good kiss". He even told me that they just talked about ex's and surprisingly he told her that i was his ex.I was feeling so awkward. I feel my whole body was shaking and so upset. He said that i am being childish, selfish, jealous and insecure.Of course i will feel jealous and insecure by how he describes a cabin crew lady. And I AM A LADY WHO HAS FEELINGS FOR HIM. He even told me "How dare you to call me when i was on a date, do you want me to talk to you when i was with her??? next time dont ever call me. Otherwise i will remove your picture from my phone" ( a picture which appears when i am calling his mobile) then i apologise to him. I feel so down right now So yesterday my partner asked me if we can meet today after work JUST TO GET HIS ROOM KEY from me, i am fine with that i am willing to return it to him and i dont mind. Then i asked him if we can go out today, atleast have some time with me but he refused because he already have a plan to invite the cabin crew lady back to his room as he wants to have sex with her. I feel like my body is on fire and my heart is aching hearing these from my partner. I feel so much pain,knowing that he is now prioritizing the date before me. I understood. Its his first time to have another lady to fvck. I know he is very excited about it. He was eager to do it from a long time ago. I got it. I also remember the day he told me,if he will ever date another lady, i am his priority and he will introduce me to any of them. But when i asked him if i will meet this cabin crew? He refused and said "No, you will not meet her because she has different personality, you will not get along. She is very shy like you!" I told him that it doesn't make sense. But he really likes to meet her again and again. He even convinced me that he is not that type of man who will just put his dick and go instead He is looking for personality not just to have sex.but i think its opposite because of excitement. He said thats what man do " to have sex from different ladies" (well. Fvck that.🤭 i am your long term girlfriend not your fvck buddy.) Meanwhile,I found myself in a second place, like he started to ignore my messages, he prefer to invite the cabin crew lady instead of me, we only do video chat instead of meeting. I was the one who message first, waiting for reply,got worried if he will not answer...I really do miss him so bad but I also really feel left behind. I noticed that i dont have tears in my eyes to cry. And thinking to leave everything goes because thats where he is happy, ignore him this week, but i hope he will remember that my birthday this coming Saturday. My partner like the idea of having a cabin crew lady, and when they kissed each other he feels horny. Right now, he going to pick up the lady from her accommodation and go to his room to have sex while he is recording an audio. Its weird. I know its gonna hurt me more when i hear it soon. I know you will wonder why i allow this to happen. I will tell you why,because my partner is fantasizing to have threesome most of the time which never happen to us. (He wants to have an open relationship),i think. Anyway,I still dont know what is his plan to that cabin crew lady. But here i am still strong girlfriend with my blessing for him to flirt. I know i am being kind to let him experience to try another ladies but at the same time i feel that i am breaking my heart. Thank you for your time reading my horrible situation. Seeking for your advice. That would help me ease the pain. Appreciated.
