AITA for helping a girl I had never met before test her boyfriend's loyalty?

There was an update: (bolding is mine)

A lot of people mentioned that if she can do this type of thing to an ex-friend, then she can do the same to an ex-husband. This has me worried some, I'd like to believe she wouldn't go nuclear on me if we did file for divorce.

AITA for refusing to perform a magic act at a funeral?

Im a magician and in the weirdest possible request I’ve ever had I was requested to perform at a funeral but I wasn’t aware of what I was attending. They paid me via credit card beforehand and told me to show up and perform at a park. I go to the park and a man greets me and tells me the event has moved. I was suspicious that something was weird because of how they never told me what type of event it was like wedding birthday etc. he leads me to the cemetery and I see people in black and he tells me I’m to perform there. I felt this was very unsettling and I politely told him I’m very uncomfortable doing this and I want to leave. I thought it was very disrespectful to the dead both buried and the other funeral services going on. The people there start to get very angry at me and are cursing me out and as I feel threatened I leave. I get angry voicemails and emails from them. I tried to refund the money but there was some sort of issue with the senders card and it won’t let me return the money to him. After all the angry voicemails calling me a rear end in a top hat for refusing to perform I don’t feel like getting in contact as I’m uncomfortable with them. Nobody else has contacted me for the money just to call me an rear end in a top hat and threaten to hurt my business.

AITA for Chromecasting Porn to My Neighbor's T.V.?

About once a week, my neighbor hosts parties that go on until 4 a.m. I usually don't mind them because I get it, people just want to have fun, but I had to study for finals and the music just got ridiculously loud this time. I went over and asked him to politely turn down the music, and he said that he would. I didn't even make it back to my front door and I kid you not he cranked up his speakers. I knocked on his door again, but no one answered so I went back inside my house and chromecasted porn onto his T.V. I never heard any more obnoxious music the rest of that night.

I used the typical method of finding bra size, just figured backwards. Not sure why that makes you so mad. A 40I bra size implies plus size, with a 49" or 50" chest.

So what if OP has a 50" chest and is fat anyway? Her being "a blob monster" (as you put it) wouldn't change the fact that she's 100% correct, which I've made clear like three times now.

Parents want to throw their retirement fund away for a yacht.


My parents are in their 60s/70s and still very healthy and mobile, likely will live into their 90s (good genes on both sides). They’re actively searching for a yacht to buy. Their whole life they’ve been in debt and just recently got out of it by selling their house (and making a profit) and moving to a small place.

Now they’re bored and want to buy their dream yacht. I know they see me as their “backup”, so if they entirely blow the one retirement fund they’ve ever had, they think can just move in with me. I would lose my mind if I had to be around them all the time, besides the fact that they should be responsible adults (never have been). When I confronted them about them blowing their money and having nothing left for retirement my dad angrily replied that he wouldn’t move in with me, but of course he’s older and would die before my mom, and then my mom would move in with me.

I’m not sure what to do. I’ve asked them to put together budgets and they are in denial of the cost of a boat. I’ve told them they’re being irresponsible but they have been children their whole life, always giving themselves the best, so that’s not going to change. I’ve told them they finally have a retirement and they should preserve it, but they don’t seem to care about that. They’re very short-sighted.

I can definitely see them blowing everything and then when my dad is dead, my mom coming to me for help. She made my life hell as a kid but she thinks she’s the best mom ever. She would definitely guilt me into taking care of her, as she’s always driven home the importance of “family sticking together”. What about the importance of responsibility??

Any advice appreciated!

tl;dr parents are children, want to buy another expensive toy they can’t afford but this time at the cost of their entire retirement fund, not listening to logic

Edit: Thank YOU all SO MUCH. This has been an eye-opening experience. I’ll report back after I talk to them. Thank you for the time and great advice and encouragement

AITA for not buying my deceased friend a drink at my high school reunion?

quote:

OK so a little backstory: I (32F) am married to my (31M) husband. Money isn't a problem, and we've been having a healthy relationship for the past five years. I work at a desk job, so every day during my lunch break I take a walk. Now, onto the story...

Well yesterday was just another day of work. When it was lunch time I went for my usual walk around the area, and I see these homeless people that I see just about every day. I see them so often that I remember a good amount of them. They always sit there - begging for money or something to eat. I had just gotten my paycheck the week before, and I was feeling generous. I approach this homeless guy that always greets me whenever I see him. He asks me if I have any cash or food for him to have. I give him $50, and I tell him that is enough for food and clothes and whatever else he may need. He thanks me. I tell him that it's no problem, and I say goodbye. However, when I'm about to leave he grabs me by the arm and says "Could I have $50 more? I want to place it on a bet and I'm 100% sure I'll win." I'm shocked, and pull my hand away from him. I was frightened by the sudden touch of this man. I'm yelling at him: "I gave you 50 bucks and you ask for MORE?! You're ungrateful and this is why people like you become homeless. You ungrateful gently caress!". People started looking at us, and he mumbled "sorry" whilst I was walking away from him. I was furious.

Now, when I got home I told my husband about the incident and he told me I overreacted. He said that just because he's homeless doesn't mean it's his fault, and that I shouldn't give him crap about some poor life choices he may have taken previously. Although I can see where my husband is coming from, the homeless guy got money for FREE and then YANKED my arm asking for MORE so he could bet it away. Anyway, I kinda see how I could be seen as the bad guy - but I was just really shocked and felt disrespected. So, Reddit - AITA?

Yo NTA. $50 is a pretty large amount for someone living on the street to get all at once.

This is mostly just a general FYI. Common way to do it is to add 4 or 6, and subtract that number from the bust size. So a 40I would be about (depending on how the cup sizes go, which is always different for some reason) 34-36 inches under the bust, and a 44-46 inch bust. I was around there at a size 14 or 16. If you're a DD or above, finding a bra that isn't ridiculously expensive with a band size below a 38 can be a pain in the rear end. So she might be more like a 36K or something. I know I was buying band sizes that were way too loose when I was like a 34G. So I'd end up in a 38DDD or something like that which would always be too loose in the band. (I didn't like ordering online, because I didn't like returning most of them for not fitting right because every loving bra is supposed differently). I had problems with that until very recently when I lost a bunch of weight after starting testosterone.

I’ve been dating my girlfriend who is black/African American for like over 3 years. (I’m white) Our relationship is pretty good but she’s recently changed in a way and I don’t know if I’m completely comfortable with it.

She has recently gotten really into African American rights/black issues which she wasn’t really that into before. Like before she was just a person who happened to be black but now she’s gotten really into this actvist club on campus for black people I guess and she is taking courses in African American studies and recently a lot of her posts on facebook and twitter are related to stuff like racism, black poverty, police brutality, etc.

I don’t really know where all this came from and I agree with her that there are issues with racism in the country but it’s starting to make me uncomfortable. She’ll randomly bring up stuff like white supremacy or “systemic oppression” in conversations sometimes or at times I’ll say something and she’ll say how what I’m saying is problematic or racist and explain why. I’m a lot more liberal than my parents, who lean more conservative (although they love my gf) and she even started talking about this stuff with them which made them SUPER uncomfortable.

Recently we got into an argument about Colin Kaepernick and his whole anthem protest. I was saying how although I understand what he was doing, I don’t think disrespecting the country that gives him the freedoms that many other countries wouldn’t is the way to go and she completely disagreed and talked about his right to protest and “how some white people love black people when they shut up and throw a ball for their entertainment as long as they don’t say anything” (her words) and other stuff and it became a huge thing but I eventually conceded because I didn’t want to piss her off and I just wanted the argument to end.

My friends all think she’s going to break up with me because I’m white. I don’t really think so because she hasn’t really indicated she’s not happy in the relationship but I can’t lie that some of this stuff is just making me uncomfortable.

Any advice on how to deal with this?

tl;dr: My girlfriend has really gotten into stuff like racism, african american rights, etc and it's starting to make me uncomfortable.

19M. Was an intern at a BestBuy. Had this female coworker whose panty lines would always be so obvious and stand out so much. I don't know whether she wore tight underwear, tight pants or both but it was just so obvious and it made me uncomfortable seeing her walk around like that. A few cameltoes too.

Yesterday I spoke to her in a private place about it. She got mad and told me I'm an rear end in a top hat for staring at her rear end and trying to get her to change her panties or something. She told me it was none of my.business what she chose to wear. I left it at that. AITA here?

EDIT: My comments were nothing forceful or sexual. I said something along the lines of her getting in trouble or other people making crude comments about her behind her back.

EDIT: Forgot to add she’s also an intern

EDIT: another big reason why I went to her and NOT HR is because I didn’t want her to get in trouble since we are both fellow interns. Let’s just say she hasn’t always been the best and another strike wouldn’t help her
