If the dude feels so passionate about it, he could simply PM the one-night stand and tell her his family has a high rate of colon cancer. No more, no less. But then it wouldn't be about him now, would it.

AITA for not telling my neighbours that their daughter got her first period? I (22M) live next door to a lovely family with 3 girls aged 13, 9ish and 6. We get along adequately considering I'm a bit of a hermit, they'll occasionally invite me over for dinner and I let them use my spa (hot tub?) whenever they want. Recently they asked if I would be OK acting as a semi-absent babysitter for the girls over the weekend, as they were going on their first trip leaving them home alone for one night (they are a bit young for that though right?). I of course said no problem, and even said I would go over and check on them overnight to make sure they hadn't vanished. Everything is set up, phone numbers, medical information, a will (just in case) and off they went Saturday morning. Nothing of note happens until 4pm rolls around and I get a knock at the door. I was fully expecting to have to go turn the oven on for them or something, but standing there is the oldest girl looking more pale than bucket of water. This scared the poo poo out of me because last I checked she was a friendly Malaysian and not a friendly ghost. Immediately she softly said she had started her period. Now I'm no mathematician but even I deduced that this was new territory for her since she's asking me, a 22 year old dude for help with her hoo-ha. My immediate though is to A. call her parents and B. call her parents. I guess I'm a sucker though because she asked me not too and said she would tell them when they got home, and I listened to her. All she asked was if I could go and buy the goods, and she knew what to do with them. Ordinarily, I would tell her to go to hell and to drive herself, but I decided against that approach this one time. At the store the nice gal working their helped me pick out a variety of pads, I decided against tampons for obvious reasons I hope, and grabbed some chocolate for all three girls as a gift and headed home. When I got back she whizzed into the bathroom to install the hardware (or is it software?). I made sure she knew what was going on, offered to print some pamphlets off if she wanted like I'm a teacher or something, and left after she assured me she was fine to heat up dinner and go about her day. Everything went well over night and my neighbours came home in the morning and were promptly filled in on everything by their kids and I gave praise to their behaviour and so forth. Everything's good right? Wrong! My neighbours have spoken to me and think I am wrong for not phoning them to let them know their daughter had started her period. I feel they are incorrect, and I am just following the wishes of the period-haver and if she wanted them to know sooner she would have called them herself or at least not asked me to not tell them. TL;DR I was babysitting my neighbour's kids and their 13 year old got her first period. She asked me not to tell her parents so I didn't and they think I should've told them. AITA?

WIBTA if I turned in my coworker for having a green card marriage? Basically as the title states, would I be the rear end in a top hat if I turned in my coworker for having a green card marriage? So for context he married a girl who is from Russia for the explicit version of her getting her USA citizenship, from what I know there is a monetary incentive for him in this arrangement. normally i wouldn't give two shits about this and let live. But one of my closest friends got married to a girl from Brazil and its been a huge pain in the rear end for them proving that they are in fact a couple and not trying to scam the system so she can get citizenship. My coworker who got the green card marriage is very vocal and honest about it, so its not like its really confidential info. from what Ive gathered his 'wife' comes from a middle/ upper middle class family in Russia. The way he talks about her is grating on me too he keeps talking about how good of a guy he is because he's never made/asked her to have sex with him. along with making degrading comments all the time. So in short me informing immigration would in no way impact me or my life, I don't have any skin in the game really. It be partly petty and partly because I've seen what my friend and his wife have had to go through because of arrangements like this.

There's no quota on marriage green cards. If the process is a pain it's a pain for everyone. Sabotaging one doesn't make a different one go more smoothly.

Why would parents need to know IMMEDIATELY when their daughter has her period? I get that it's something they should know about in general but like, they found out next day. It's weird that they would be conservative enough to be mad about this, but permissive enough to let three literal children home alone overnight.

That is well over 2 billion pounds of wasted seafood each year. That includes bycatch, but still. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959378015300340 Also interesting: Japan alone eats 10% of the world's fish each year.

Piell posted:AITA for reporting two coworkers and potentially getting them fired? A few pages ago but this poo poo triggers me. There are so many stories in this thread about awkward workplace romances and I just don't get it. At least the people in this story are single but so many other stories are "I want to gently caress my married co-worker" or "my married boss made a pass at me." Like why? Nothing good ever comes of this poo poo. It's an HR nightmare that no one needs. It's going to be a pain in the rear end for your boss, for you, for everyone you work with, etc. I get so annoyed by this because the place I work is absolutely horrible about drama-filled co-worker relationships. A bunch of VPs had some swinging group going on for a few years that resulted in several of them losing their jobs because someone wasn't happy with his boss loving his wife. A married director got "allegedly" knocked up by a guy who reported to her that was subsequently fired for actual theft and is now suing for both paternity and wrongful termination because she was taking advantage of him. One dude was an incredible creep who had a no-poo poo list of everyone who he wanted to gently caress at work and would talk about it all the time. The number of people who leave or are asked to leave because they have affairs with their suppliers is shocking. These are people at the top of their loving field in our industry and they cannot keep their parts in their pants. My biggest fear as a manager is that someone on my team fucks someone else on my team. Not theft, incompetence, or bribery but inter-team loving. Best case scenario: they are both single, nothing uncomfortable happens, and I can get one of them moved to another team to reduce drama potential. Don't date/gently caress someone who reports to you, don't date/gently caress someone who you report to, don't date/gently caress someone that you regularly work with. The attractive project manager that you had one three week interaction with two years ago? Go loving nuts. Someone you see multiple times a week for work? Stay the gently caress away. No one wants to deal with that poo poo.

Pinecone Sample posted:AITA for wearing “crocs” to work? (Serious, I may have just been denied a promotion) Now, I'll preface this by saying the guy is a moron, and who the hell wants to wear crocs at a workplace that isn't a summer camp or daycare? That said, if this boss had just pulled him aside on day 2 of wearing the crocs, and just mentioned that it's not professional, this could have all been avoided. So the give me a break BS is unnecessary, next time tell your employees what is actually expected of them. EDIT: but he absolutely should not get the promotion.

There’s what is expected of someone in the current position vs what is expected of someone in a higher position. Duder can rock the crocs until retirement in his current spot, but shouldn’t expect to be in line for a promotion.
