AITA for returning a set of expensive chef knives to my girlfriend's ex-boyfriend? She says I should have stayed out of it and I didn't understand the situation.quote:Lots and lots of drama in the post and girlfriend and I are almost certainly headed to a breakup over this and so much else but please consider this isn't a relationship post even though my girlfriend is a major player...this is a post about my actions. On one hand, you got rid of the knives so she can't stab you with them. On the other, she'll just bludgeon you instead

Bored posted:Still doesn't mean she has to wear a bra in her own home though. Even this is missing the point. 1) it's her own house, she can dress how she wants. Period. 2) the man has a problem with this woman's body EXISTING. "Ugh cover up your body makes me uncomfortable" is a gross sentiment regardless of body shape/size. If he doesn't like it he doesn't have to be there.

Streak posted:The guy that laughed at his drunk wife showing her tits got called an rear end in a top hat by like 99% of the commenters, started arguing with them and got banned from the sub. After pointing out that his wife admitted it was funny after she sobered up and calmed down. It is a funny story. But you can also laugh and get her a towel at the same. It's not rocket science, reddit husband. Maybe we're the assholes for mocking someone incapable of doing two things at once.

LadyPictureShow posted:AITA for spending my Sons lottery winnings money? This guy did the work of investing AKA buying some index funds and turning on dividend reinvestment. Therefore, he deserves $40K. Doing the math, he invested $54K in 2013. He now has $100K, after withdrawing $4K last year for the purchase of his son's car. The S&P 500, without reinvesting dividends, has grown 106% since the beginning of 2013. We don't have the exact date of when he began investing but his investing is, in fact, perfectly average. Edit: His math is also bad, and he's shorting himself $6,000 in management fees. cumshitter fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Aug 9, 2019 |

That piece of garbage isn't even taking just the reinvested dividends but is effectively taking some of the original money because 30k of shares in 2013 are not equal to 30k of shares in 2019 thanks to obscure economical concept inflation. I hope his sons cut him out off their lives asap and eventually find a way to legally screw him back over this.

He's pretending his savvy investments were somehow beating the market. Also, 40k when you're 20 years from retirement can be quite a nice egg to add to the nest. Can't blame him for wanting that. I invest mostly in index funds because the fees on managed funds eat up your earnings and they don't beat the market in the long run anyway.

AITA for blasting a bar that confiscated my (legitimate) ID on Facebook & Twitter? Not the A-hole The other night I went out to a bar with some buddies of mine. This was my first time visiting this bar. When I gave the bartender my driver’s license as ID he confiscated it, stating that he doesn’t think the person in the picture looks like me. It is an older photo of me. I went on a diet and am now about 30 pounds slimmer than I was in the picture, and no longer have the prominent moustache that I do in the photo. Additionally, for whatever reason (lighting maybe), I look a bit darker/tanner and more Hispanic (I’m half) in my ID photo than I usually appear. But since my diet/moustache shaving, I’ve used that exact ID literally hundreds of times with no problem. Somehow, everyone prior has had the facial recognition to connect the man in the ID photo and myself. What’s this guy’s problem? I argued with the bartender for a long time, but he stood his ground and refused to give it back. As my friends drank their beers, I (who am personally very active on social media) made a Facebook post and a Tweet about the incident, telling people how they stole my driver’s license, warning people not to go there, and calling them a “shady shithole.” In both of my posts, I tagged the bar’s official Facebook page/Twitter handle so that when people search for the bar, my posts will pop up first thing. I asked for the manager, and he sided with the bartender. I continued arguing, and told him about the posts. Finally, I gave the manager an ultimatum: if give me my ID back, I will delete my posts ASAP, will leave, and will put this incident and the drama associated with it 100% in the past. “I swear, give my ID back and it’ll be over. No hard feelings. I’ll be out of your hair.” I showed him on my phone the number of responses/likes I’d already received, emphasized how much it could damage his business. Eventually, he sighed and conceded. “If you promise you’ll get rid of those posts, and this whole thing is going to be over, then fine.” I reaffirmed my promise, and he gave me back my ID finally, and apologized for what he said was “an unfortunate misunderstanding.” I could tell that he still didn’t believe my ID was legit, but didn’t want his bar to receive too much negative publicity online. I didn’t delete my posts, though. By the time I woke up the next morning, they’d received a ton more attention, and I saw I’d received a private message on Facebook from the company’s page. “Hey there, bud,” it read. “Remember our agreement? You promised you’d remove these posts. I got you your ID back and we’re sorry about the incident, can you please make sure we put this in the past as we agreed upon?” I responded to his message, “gently caress you,” and blocked him immediately afterwards. After that, I typed up a formal complaint about the incident and sent it to his chain manager (it’s part of a chain of 3 bars in my state). Was I an rear end in a top hat for this?

I actually went through almost the same exact situation, right down to the reason for the picture discrepancy being weight loss, but they eventually gave me my ID back when I threatened to call the police, rather than it turning into a social media thing.

AITA for breaking up with my friend group for horrible relationship advice that broke up my marriage? My main group of friends is 4 other women I met at university 10 years ago. We all met basically on the first week of the first year and have stayed tight with each other done then alive 10 years ago. I used to think they were all bad rear end and looked to them for advice for a lot of stuff including relationships. I started seeing my now ex-husband 6 years ago, we got married 2 years ago got separated 1 year ago and now divorce is final. A lot of the problems we had was me acting on, what in hind sight seems like, bad advice given to me by my friends. Examples: Just after our engagement they convinced me that I shouldn't change my last name or hyphenate because it was old fashioned and oppressive, even though Mark told me early on that it was an important thing to him They planted doubts in my mind about how what originally I thought were innocent comments by his mom were jabs she was taking at me and pushed me to force Mark to stand up for me to his mom convinced me that I need to ration sex because some stupid reason that I bought into then that doesn't make sense now. Convinced me that when we have kids they should take my last name because I would be giving birth and again we shouldn't support old fashioned traditions. With the last fight Mark had enough and said he wanted out and initiated the break up. I was devastated, I foolishly thought he'd never leave me because again my friends convinced me that I was way out of his league and that he would never leave me. I decided I can't be friends with these women any more because not only did they give me really bad advice but when each of them for married none of them followed any of the advice that had been SO important when they told me. They each took they husband last names. They all bend over backwards to get along with their in-laws. No rationing of sex. No more kids need to get mother's last name talk. This just pissed me off and I confronted them,I told them they were just using my marriage as a playground to test their stupid relationship theories and that they only started really thinking things through when it came to their own relationships. I told them I couldn't be friends with them any more. They are saying I'm being unreasonable and that they told me what they thought was best at the time and that no one held a gun to my head. They said now that they've been in the position things are different and that they're saying it's a lot more important to go along to get along. That's true, I'm probably going to be regretting for the rest of my life not using enough of my own judgement in my own life decisions. But the thought that I had a good guy that I pushed away because of their advice is just too much for me. WIBTA for cutting them loose?

I wanted to type some sort of hilarious exaggerated version of that one, but how do you exaggerate the stupidity of someone who considers remaining friends with people who deliberately treated her as a lab rat? "I'm a mouse in a laboratory. The researcher just cut my head off to study my brain and I bit her as a reflex action. She say's I'm being vindictive. Should we stay friends?"

Ok, got another one. Check out this poo poo lol AITA for breaking things with this girl because she was still browsing a dating site on the day we were supposed to meet? So here's one that left me scratching my head. I'm 26M and was talking to this 20F chick online. We talked for a few days and she seemed nice. TBH, I was reluctant to meet her because our personalities clash. I went to a Top 10 in the nation college, and she didn't even go to college. However, I found our conversations flowed well but the way she talked was really rough, and I guess what you could call "ghetto". I have no idea how else to describe it. Anyway, I guess she found me endearing and kept calling me her "little nerd". So, I don't know - I gave her a shot. So we talk and talk and video chat for hours. One day she asks me what my ex's looked like. Now, I'll say this - I'm an average guy, possibly just below average because I'm not skinny (maybe a little chubby at 5'9 189 lbs). So I showed her some of my ex's and she took a fascination by one in particular. She was Asian, maybe 5'10 and pretty fit. She kept fawning over how the hell I was able to achieve being with someone like her. I just said I don't know, guess we just clicked. Anyway, finally after all was said and done, we were ready to meet at my place. For context, she is bi. On the day we were supposed to meet, she shows me a picture of a tall Asian girl online. I look at it and I replied, "What about it?" She goes, "She looks like your ex, doesn't she?" And I'm like, I guess - I mean she's Asian. And she was said, "But she's tall too" and I was like yeah, I guess I see it. So I thought nothing of this. Later, the thought just came up on my mind. Was that my ex? So I go look and it's clearly not, not sure why I randomly became concerned. Then, I barely then noticed that it was a picture from an OK Cupid profile. I messaged her and said where did you get that picture of the girl. She goes from OKCupid. So I said what are you doing on there if we are going to meet there, have been talking and video chatting for hours at a time for days/weeks now. I told her that I find that disrespectful and I blocked her. This happened months ago. I told the story to my friends and 3/4 said I'm an idiot and that if both of us weren't in a relationship, there's no expectation for her not to be on the dating site. One agreed with me and said it was lovely of her to be on there if she was intending to meet me at my place. So... am I the rear end in a top hat? Or is she an rear end in a top hat?

Speaking of escorts AITA for cheating in a "fake" marriage? Me and my wife got into a loveless marriage 5 years ago, we liked each other as people but I won't deny I married her cause she came from a posh family she married me cause she was a bit of a screw up and had to settle for "new money". Anyway beforehand we agreed to keep things open, and things were fine for a few years. Anyway over time my wife stopped sleeping around and started implying she wasn't comfortable with me doing this. I stopped having dates/escorts round to our house, thinking this was the problem. No it was the idea of sleeping around at all. Personally this was too much, I'm young and not ready to settle down, told her this, she got upset and kept bringing it up so eventually "agreed" to it. I really did try but I just don't find her attractive especially now she's getting old, so after trying for a few months I went back to tinder/escorts but keeping things private. This went well for about a year until she was informed by a friend and flipped out, screaming at me about not loving her (I don't, never said I have) befoe storming out. Things haven't been the same since and she isn't interested in sex with me or others. Personally although I should have told her the truth I don't think I did anything wrong, especially as she tried guilt tripping me. AITA? Before anyone asks "why don't you just divorce?", I actually want to but know she's too old to get a good partner and her parents will be furious. She knows this as well and I like(d) her enough as a person to not put her through this.

People who can't make any choices in their own lives and constantly need the advice of their friends are exhausting. Both because you have to hear every little minor problem in their lives which they're apparently helpless to solve or have any judgement of their own, and because the moment anything goes wrong they then blame the advice-givers. They're so insecure and weak-willed that they can't run their own lives, but they're also cowards who want the safety of always having other people to blame for their bad results. If you run your life based entirely on other people's advice, it's never your fault when things go wrong. When you surround your self with "badasses" who give consistently terrible that's even better. Why the hell would you be asking for marriage and relationship advice for people who haven't been in that situation? Ask marriage advice from your friend who's been happily married for 10 years, not your badass single friends.

AITA for wanting to be buried my own way I go to church every Sunday with the wife and always wear my suit. I HATE wearing a dress shirt and tie bc I feel I am being choked. While discussing my funeral (no, I don't plan on dying anytime soon) my wife told me she is going to bury me in my suit against my wishes. I realize that I won't actually be there for it, but I want to go out my way. Hell, the mortician can fill my body up with peanut butter and tie my body to a tree and have squirrels feed out of my rear end in a top hat for eternity, it really doesn't matter. I just don't want that drat shirt and tie

Yeah, the state doesn't really like the idea of private citizens deputizing themselves into seizing government documents, it turns out. Bouncers should usually be able to figure out by who's threatening to call the police and who's not if it's fake.

CannonFodder posted:He is investing his own money, how can he pay himself management fees with his own money? Withdrawing money from the investment account will incur fees and taxes. I was joking, he's basically arguing that since he managed the money so effectively anything greater than the original investment is his. Which defeats the point of him investing the funds for his children anyway. Just holding on to their original investment and then giving them back the same amount 6 years later is no different from placing it in an interest free checking account.
