My (25/F) roommate (26/M) doesn't want me taking out the garbage because of his extreme fear of opossums.

Option 1: Get a second trash can and rotate between the two in the middle of the week.

Option 2: Rent an opposum and leave it in the kitchen to demonstrate that having the trash outside is superior. Drawback: you may not be able to have indoor garbage anymore.

Is it possible this is my fault? I divorced his dad when my son was at a very young age and I never remarried. I was just so busy with raising him and working that there was no time for dating. So I never really had a male role model for him growing up. Is it possible the whole gay thing, and the dating an older guy thing is because of this? Sometimes I worry I messed up as a parent.

Yes, being raised by a single mother causes gayness, this is proven science and definitely not a quack theory discredited decades ago.

AITA for intentionally getting a lesbian to baptize my daughter?

quote:

I was brought up Catholic but left in my teens. I haven't been to mass since and I got married in a civil ceremony. Three months ago I gave birth to an absolutely beautiful baby girl. This is where the conflict starts.

My mom and sister are both still hyper-Catholic. They weren't happy about my civil marriage and have been insisting on having my daughter baptized since I announced my pregnancy. My mom even once stated "all my grandchildren WILL be baptized!" It goes without saying if I'll have a Catholic baptism for her. One day I was talking with my sister about it. She admitted there was no chance of a Catholic baptism but asked if I'd at least consider one in a different church. She asked if I still believed in God, I admitted yes I did though not practicing religion. I thought about it and decided my daughter having a moral foundation in a more liberal church would be OK, she could decide for herself if she wanted to be religious when she was older. So I agreed to that.

Then I decided to troll my mother and sister a bit. Last month I saw a church flying rainbow flags for Pride month. So I looked it up. They have a lead pastor who's an open lesbian and mentions her wife on the church's site. I decided I was definitely getting my daughter baptized here! I called them up and spoke to the pastor a bit. She's a cool lady and definitely someone I wouldnt mind having baptize my daughter.

My husband however said he won't stand in the way of this but thinks I'm being a bit out of line. He noted he's not religious either but the lesbian pastor clearly is and doesnt want to be seen as just a "lesbian pastor" and I'm basically using her sexuality as a weapon against my family. I haven't told her this or that this is why I'm selecting her. My husband thinks I should either put my foot down against my family or choose a church to baptize our girl based on more practical reasons (the one in question is on the other side of our city, kind of far) instead of using this one and this woman to make a statement. He says at least I should talk to her and mention my reasoning.

So, am I being an rear end in a top hat?

Top commenter shames the OP for ordering pizza two hours early, but I read it as the friend showed up two hours early and the pizza was already cold then.

Hot take perhaps, but in my book the guy ordering pizzas at 3 PM for a 7 o'clock group gathering is a bigger rear end in a top hat than the ambulatory Roomba that cleansed his house of them.

AITA for threatening to speak to a waitress's manager for saying I look 12 years old?

I (22M) went to a restaurant/bar and got ID'd by the waitress behind the bar. We were having a light convo and she said ''Yeah you look about 12''.

I looked at her dead in the eye and said ''Make a comment like that one more time and I'll have a word with your manager''. She looked scared and I walked away.

I told my friend this and he said it was an rear end in a top hat thing, but I thought it was acceptable because her comment was rude and out of line. AITA?

Edit - she wasn't making a joke. I was there, and none of you lot were. She said it seriously.

AITA for not telling my wife she is getting a little high?

EDIT: After reading all these comments, I have decided not to tell her. Thanks, folks.

Context: When I met my wife, she was super happy and always positive and healthy. Over time, due to career pressure, my wife developed high stress resulting in depression, anxiety, and physical illnesses. There seemed to be no end in sight and it only got worse.
She wouldn't want to leave the house except for work and she certainly would not get into social situations until absolutely necessary.

A few weeks ago her friend recommended she try CBD gunmies. My wife is a little old fashioned in the sense that anything cannabis is terrible and only stupid people need drugs. She would certainly NEVER take consume cannabis to get high. She was talked into trying these CBD gummies.

After about a week, I noticed a 180 turn in her mood, demeanor, and depression. It was like seeing my wife the first time we met. She had everything she lost and was virtually free of all mental and physical pains. I found out the gummies she was taking actually have THC in them...a pretty high %. She doesn't know this. If she did, she would likely stop taking them.

So, AITA for not telling her? I feel like I kinda am because she deserves to know what she is putting in her body, but also she has never been so happy and relaxed and our marriage has never been stronger.

AITA for introducing my SO this way?

Yesterday, my friend (30F), my boyfriend (30M) and myself (29F) were at a beer tasting event. At some point during the event we were seperated and I got into a conversation with a guy about some brand. A few minutes latery, my friend and BF show up and join the conversation. This guy asks how we know eachother, to which I replied "This is my best friend, and he is her neighbour". My boyfriend then said "Really? I'm the upstairs neighbour?". I guess I got the point and then I introduced him as my boyfriend.

He's upset that I initially said he was my friends neighbour, instead of primarily introducing him as my SO. I think it was just a legitimate answer to the question asked. AITA?

EDIT; I said he's my friends upstairs neighbour because he is, and I know him because he's my friends neighbour. So I sort of literally answered the question "how do you know eachother?"

EDIT2: The responses are overwhelming.. In retrospect I recall that I did mention how I met my friend, but I guess it doesn't really matter. My SO is very upset and nearly broke it off. I guess Ill have some introspection to do..

AITA for not wanting a photo of a dead baby at my wedding?

At our wedding we're having a table to commemorate relatives who have passed who would otherwise have attended. Last year my fiancée's cousin miscarried, and we were happy to include the baby on said table, as it would have been born by our wedding date and would have been in attendance. The problem is they want to have a photo of the baby's face, post-stillbirth, as the tribute. Not only do we think it's a pretty shocking and upsetting picture to have on display at a wedding, but we have two pregnant women in attendance at our wedding, one of whome also miscarried very recently. We're happy to accommodate other options, but we're worried they might not be happy with us for refusing their wish.

That was another kid. His dad did a DNA test that said the OP wasn't his real kid and basically he treated the OP and his mom like trash while he treated his second son like a golden calf. The OP's grandfather stepped in and made the Dad back off and let the OP live with him. In a later update the OP revealed that the lab had gotten his results mixed up with the second brother's and that it turned out he was actually the bio kid and the golden calf second son was not. Apparently they sued because he supposedly got a nice settlement out of it.

I think this by itself is weird as hell. everyone on the planet has dead relatives who probably would have gone to a family wedding if they were still alive. if you want a leave a seat open for the deceased father of the bride or whatever that seems okay, but devoting a whole table to dead people is just bizarre.

Family-centric events featuring a big ol dead ancestors shrine are probably more of a universal cultural touchstone than weddings themselves but otoh in ye olde traditionale tymes where that kinda poo poo came from they didn't have any means of producing baby corpse photos

Initial verdict was that OP should tell them to GTFO and to spend the money they would have spent on a wedding gift on some therapy, but they've already set aside a whole section for dead people so gently caress it, why not blow the dead baby photo up to poster size and make it the centrepiece of your weirdo corpse table? Gotta make sure the happiest day of your life doesn't pass without the appropriate one-two punch of misplaced guilt and misery!

In fairness, she’s right that she actually did answer the real question. Rando dude was really asking “do I need to worry about this guy as competition or is he just a friend?” ... and by first referring to her boyfriend as the neighbor, she was giving a clear “nah, don’t worry about him, he doesn’t matter to me” signal.
