imo just sounds like she got owned by her own internalized gender norms. "men can't care for little kids" is a pretty standard thing people believe alongside "the only subjects men teach are science, math, and PE"

Seems to me that the person being owned here is the male school teacher and the child being denied a male role-model, and, rather than it being due to her 'internalised gender norms', it's more related to her bigotted paranoia that all men (explicitly, exclusively due to their gender) are potential pedophiles.

To be clear here, she was not saying 'I'm worried this man can't care for my little kids, because caring is for women', she is saying 'I'm worried that because this teacher is a man, he will molest my infant daughter'. That's a hugely lovely opinion to hold.

AITA for telling my mum to stop wearing my clothes for her date nights?

So I’m 21 years old and live with my mum. We are normally really close and are both quite girly, into makeup, she’s basically my best friend 99% of the time but when we argue, we ARGUE.

Obviously I like wearing really fun stuff, and I go out a lot with my mates so 99% of my wardrobe reflects that, especially because I work in a tanning salon so the more fashionable my outfit the better.

There’s a brand called Missguided and they dropped a playboy collection a few months ago and I bought basically all of it but I have so much clothes It takes me ages to slowly get through wearing everything. My mum has been seeing a new fella for a couple months now, and I’m the first to say my mam doesn’t really dress for her age but I noticed she was taking and wearing my playboy stuff.

My mum has a BANGING figure and she’s a lot taller than me so she usually nicks my cheaper clothes and doesn’t mind if I wear her nicer bits, and usually we don’t have an issue with this. However lately she’s been going away for the night and coming back the next day wearing the same clothes and I really 100% haven’t got an issue with her living her best life but I do think it’s really really kinda gross that her new guy is feeling her up and doing naughty things in my clothes. I know this because he tagged her in a Facebook post with his hand on her arse in my playboy dress with the caption ‘this dress was a lot of fun on my bird😉’ and you know, it doesn’t take an idiot to work it out. I know obviously clothes can be washed but it really is bothering me.

I asked her as casually as I could if she wouldn’t mind not wearing my stuff when she knows she’s going to stay over at his place and she got really huffy with me and told me that she will plan her spontaneous nights away better so as not to hurt my feelings. She said she lets me wear stuff on date nights but I REALLY didn’t want to answer her back and let her know I hadn’t hosed my date with her bleeding heels on.

Btw I’m fairly new to Reddit and I wouldn’t normally post on here but my boyfriend loves it and told me my issue is perfect for this subreddit.

I [23F] bought my friend's [24M] music and he found out, now he's hurt

quote:

EDIT: Didn't expect this to get so much attention. A lot of people have asked for a link to his music, however I don't think he'd want me to 'advertise' him like that and I feel like it would actually make the problem worse. So I won't do that sorry. He's been in contact with a local label anyway so things are already looking good for him.

My best friend has been producing music for years, he's on a pretty high level production-wise for an amateur and is slowly gaining a following online. I genuinely like his music, it's in a Genre we both like a lot, and I always give my honest feedback about his newest tracks, which is usually pretty positive. He tends to be very self-critical but which artist isn't.

So basically he set up a bandcamp account recently where people can download his music and can pay whatever they want for it. After a while, I had this idea that I want to buy his album so he feels better about his music, and also kinda because he doesn't have a lot of money. I paid about twice what you'd normally pay for a brand new music album which is absolutely no big deal for me financially.

Well.. next time we saw each other he excitedly told me that someone paid for his album and by that point I had almost forgotten and just kinda went 'oh yeah oh poo poo' internally and tried to act nonchalant but I guess I failed. It must have been on my face because he immediately asked if it was me and I didn't want to lie in his face so I said yes. Now he's hurt because he thought this random stranger liked his music so much they paid a lot for it, and a friend doesn't count I guess. I totally understand his emotional reaction. I'm a genuine fan and only wanted to support him, but basically he doesn't want alms.

He didn't really get mad over it, but I could tell from his face that it actually hurt him a lot and now I feel awkward about it. Should I just never mention it again, or apologize in detail or something?

---

**tl,dr:** Friend thought a new fan had bought his music, but it was me. He feels like I only did it because we're friends and is hurt. What do I do?

AITA for getting a delivery guy fired?

quote:

Sorry for formatting, on phone. I'll try to keep it short.

Yesterday I ordered food though a home delivery app, everything went fine. Food was good.

But then I started getting texts from a number I didn't know. I asked who it was, turns out the delivery guy got my number from the work computer and saved it to his phone.

I was kinda creeped out. I'm 20, the delivery guy was in his thirties. He knows where I live. And I never consented to him getting my number. I stopped replying to the texts when he told me how he got it. Didn't stop him from sending more though. They weren't sexual per se, but he did talk about my body in a way that made me feel very uncomfortable.

The next day I called the store and explained what happened, they told me they would deal with it and apologized. Not even an hour later my phone was blowing up with texts. That I got him fired, and that I should have just said I wasn't interested, instead of calling his boss. That I was a bitch, etc.

I talked to my dad, he said I overreacted. That I should have just talked to him, and that boys will be boys. Most of my friends agree that it was creepy though.

So AITA?

TL/DR: delivery guy kept my phone number for personal use, I called to his work and got him fired.

AITA For getting a delivery man fired beacuse he snatched my phone and gave him a 5 star rating?

quote:

I ordered some food from my favorite restaurant through a local food delivery service. I waited for 30 minutes and the food had arrived without any problems I went to my gate to take it and took the food. The food delivery guy asked me for my phone to show the bill and as a proof that I had paid online and didn't have to pay in cash, I showed him the bill while holding the phone myself instead of giving it to him, he then proceeds to take my phone and give himself a 5 star and hands me the phone and just takes off.

I was really shocked by this incident due to several things-I was alone at night and a minor, he snatched the phone right off my hand and gives the rating the customer is supposed to give.

This didn't seem right to me as would've given him at least a 4 star if he hadn't done that but I then contacted the food deliverycompany and told them about this matter and asked them to report this delivery man and revert back my rating. The company is well known so they didn't treat this matter lightly and got the guy fired which I totally didn't meant them to do.

The delivery guy called me to tell that I got him fired and I was responsible for making his kids starve.

I feel really guilty now because a food delivery ended up in getting a man fired.

I just want to know if I went to far or were my actions appropriate.

TL;DR- A food delivery man took my phone against my will to give himself a good rating and I didn't like that... complained to the delivery company and he ended up getting fired.

AITA for not letting my bf open our windows?

quote:

My bf and I live in the upstairs of an old house with multiple units. Our bedroom/ living room area is basically in the finished attic space. Since heat rises, it can get pretty hot up there. We have four small windows, in sets of 2 on opposite walls. One of the windows on each side is screened the other is totally open. We currently keep the screened windows open and usually have a box fan set up in one of them.

I’m a cold blooded person and don’t mind the heat, but he always wants it cooler. He suggests opening the additional unscreened windows for extra airflow, but I am extremely uncomfortable with this idea. I have a crazy fear of bats getting in! Just thinking about it is giving me anxiety. I’m tolerant of the extra window being open during the day if someone is in there and it’s covered by the box fan, but definitely not at night or unobserved.

He thinks I’m being unreasonable, but even allowing a slight chance of getting rabies is too drat high! I realize it’s a little irrational because the chances are really low, but I’d rather know I’m safe than feel an extra cool breeze.

I’m a definite believer that people should be comfortable in their own home, but it seems like a lose-lose to me. If he’s at a comfortable temperature, I’ll be really scared and feel unsafe. If I feel secure and comfortable, he’ll be too hot.

AITA for basically prioritizing my mental comfort over his physical comfort?

My sister [35 F] is a servant and unhappy in her arranged marriage [35M] and I [33F] don't know how to help

quote:

Edit 2: I definitely should have mentioned: younger sister did talk to older sister about it, and told me that older sister is basically a maid and uber driver. Said older sister seemed resigned that her life is just like this.

Edit: thank you all for your comments. I'm going to sit down with my sister and show her this thread. A few points:

I live in a different city, so I can't help as much as I like and also can't afford to get her a maid.

My parents are powerless here, for cultural and financial reasons. My parents are angry, especially my mom. My mom has vented to me that she wishes my sister would stand up for herself.

Unfortunately, I'm not imagining that she's unhappy or projecting. My mom, younger sister, cousin and I have discussed this. We know she needs to stand up for herself; we can't make her. I made this post as a hail Mary. I do think it will help her to see all of your comments. Thank you.

Disclaimer: I personally don't want an arranged marriage, so if you don't think it's a good idea, you don't have to convince me. I don't judge people who have one, though. About half my relatives and a few of my Indian friends have one. It's just my personal preference.

That being said, thanks in advance for any advice.

My sister, raised in America since age 2, got an arranged marriage at age 23 to a doctor from India. He moved here after the marriage. Pretty soon after, her in-laws moved into her 2 bedroom apartment. This is the tradition, for the husband's parents to move in after marriage, but a lot of Indians don't do this. Some do, though. Maybe half and half.

She worked while he was in residency and while she had two boys, and now she is a stay at home mom. While she worked and had kids, she still had to make full Indian dinner every night and chai in the morning. She did all chores by herself.

She is basically a servant in her own house. She cooks and cleans for her family of 5. Whenever she makes a special dinner, like Punjabi food or Italian, she also has to cook for her sister-in-law's family of 4.

Her mother in law doesn't lift a finger to help. She watches TV, naps or talks on the phone all day. She watches the kids, but doesn't make them meals. She leaves that to my sister. She doesn't take the kids to the park or on walks. She doesn't supervise their homework.

If my sister wants to go out to have lunch with her husband, she has has to lie about it. She says she has a "doctor's appt". I know this because my BIL told me. He thinks it's funny that they have to lie. This is because the mother in law will want to come. She doesn't have friends, either. Even if she did, I don't know how she would go out when she has so much work to do at home. Her in-laws come along on vacations.

I told her that now that BIL is a full doctor, they can afford to get a maid to come by once a week or month. She said that would never work.

Important info: In Indian culture, the husband's mom is basically a queen and the wife is supposed to serve her and her father in law, but these days and even in my mother's generation, this is often no longer done. I don't know a single other Indian family where the MIL abuses the old traditions in this way and refuses to lift a finger.

For example, my grandma lived with us, and she would start dinner when my mom was at work. She would eat leftovers or make lunch when my mom was at work or busy. She would wash dishes even when my mom begged her to stop and sit down. My sister has to make a new lunch every day and clean by herself. My grandma also took us to the park, walks, and supervised homework or playtime.

What can I do to help? Anything? I understand that her husband should help my sister and tell his parents that my sister needs help, but I don't think he will, since he's not dumb, sees it, and hasn't talked to his mother yet. He is a huge Mama's boy.

This is also affecting my relationship with her. She is not nice to me and insults me often, even though I treat her and her family with respect and am hands on with her kids. I shower them with love and attention. I take them on outings to give her a break when I'm in town, 3-4 times a year. When I'm in town, I watch them while she leaves the house to spend time by herself. I think she is unhappy and resents the freedom I have in my life.

I also think all the work takes away from her time with her boys. She doesn't have time to play with them and I don't think she helps them with homework as much as she could, if she had the time.

TLDR: my sister is a maid and servant and seems unhappy in her marriage. Can I do anything to help?

I [21F] am really confused about what I feel for my close friend [21M] and it's driving me nuts.

quote:

I'm starting my senior year of university in a while. I'm not really into dating per se, and I get over crushes real quick, and this has always made my life so much simpler and carefree since I was little.

Now I have this friend (we're in the same major) who has a lot in common with me, and we genuinely love one another. He's an old-soul and we call him the father of our group, quiet and clever and sometimes harsh in the fact of justice. He helped ease the pain of my past breakup and we usually turn to one another for help. I believe in meaningful platonic relationships, and I absolutely adore all of my close friends the same way. In our friendship group, everyone is single and we're proud enough to boast about it like the immature idiots we are.

Sometimes, though, he would say certain things or act a certain way that would get me off guard - I usually dismiss any sort of flirtation immediately and I never look into it. My best girlfriend had feelings for him for most of our university years and I spent a good portion of my time "shipping" them and also a good portion of my time soothing her heartbreak when the feeling wasn't mutual. She's over it now, but if she misinterprets any of these little things between us, it would crush her.

My point is, lately I'm extremely confused about how I feel. I love him immensely, but not in that sort of way - or do I? I do think about him, but not in a special way. I don't get nervous or anxious around him. I don't go out of my way to do anything special for him, and when we're alone together we're pretty comfortable. I don't get jealous of other girls. And yet I'm terrified that I might be developing a crush - how can I draw the line between platonic love and a real crush? And how do know if I've friend-zoned him a million times and didn't notice? What if I'm overshooting and I end up ruining my awesome friendship, or what if I've missed an opportunity?

The worst part is that there are plenty of girls who like him, our friends and colleagues alike. And we usually tease him about this, and there's an inside joke between us that I'm the only girl on campus who doesn't find him attractive (and I never have to be fair, I think his character really stuck out for me) - and to take that back now after so long is a huge blow to my ego for me. HUGE. Even if things go well for us both ways, he'll possibly hold that over my head until I die and I can't take that humiliation.

TL;DR I have a really meaningful friendship with someone for about two years but I'm questioning my genuine feelings for him.

AITA for not allowing my wife to buy a new iphone everytime she breaks her most recent one?

We’ve been married for 4 years and have two kids. Finances are tight but we both work a full time job and manage to pay most bills on time. My wife is terribly irresponsible! It drives me nuts sometimes. Now she just got home and told me that her iphone fell from her pocket and into a cement mixer (of course completely broken). This was a brand new iphone XR, bought only two months ago. And this is not the full story. She has had 8 iphones in the years we’ve been together (all iphones 7,8,8+, 10, X and XR). Every single one of them she has managed to break. She has numerous broken screens, shattered them to pieces, drowned one in a lake, run over another with a car.... and I could go on! And not just any phone, she always buys the most expensive iphone there is. And as soon as it breaks she buys another one. Let’s go back to the point of this argument. I told her that she was not allowed to buy a new iphone and she should just settle with some other cheap phone (because she will break it anyway!). She thought I was being unfair and got really angry, said it was not my business to tell her what she could and couldn’t do. We have shared finances and she is just throwing money out of the window while I am trying to save. AITA for telling her no?

We live in a second floor condo with one side facing a semi-busy street. For some reason, he has zero sense of privacy and likes to leave the windows and blinds wide open, letting anyone walking by see fully up into a part of our living room.

He works from home and now that it's getting warm doesn't want to use our a/c all the time, which I get, but he could at least have them closed by the time I get home. It's awful and anxiety inducing to come home, put on lounge clothes, then walk into the kitchen and discover people right outside. He thinks it's only bad at night, but even during the afternoon it's super uncomfortable to me. I do not want to make eye contact with strangers without a bra.

There's one corner where he keeps his desk that I don't mind if it's open, but he could at least keep the main area closed. He says he wants cross ventilation but it's just unlivable like this. I have to tiptoe around to be out of the line of sight or do a full check before I can unwind. We had a big fight about it and I still don't think I'm unreasonable.

All the comments are "Why don't you just close the windows yourself when you get home?"

I’m very confused how being on the second floor leads you to make eye contact with people on the street.

I must win every thread in GBS. I don't care how much banal semantic quibbling and shitty posts it takes.
Anyone see the Netflix show You about the stalker dude? The woman left her blinds open and all her lights on every night and would masturbate in full view of pedestrians on the street. Seemed ridiculous to me.

That show was terrible.

That place didn’t even count as the second floor!

how do you be so incompetent at a stunt like this that it gets traced back to you?

A lot of printers/printed paper have machine codes invisibly printed on them to identify the hardware, time etc. They are used in forensics pretty often to identify the origin of documents.

the article says he confessed to it in his office prior to getting on the flight, so I'm guessing that means he told someone and they called the police

Yeah, I heard it in my head in a male voice. I don’t think the post specified.
