I met my wife because I was the first person to show up to her roommate's house party and we got to chatting. Being early can pay dividends!

Even though we lived in the same house and were going to the same destination, I left an hour after them in my own car. I was the second person (group? party?) to get there. Now that I'm gone, if my parents are coming to visit and are due to arrive at 1PM, we start getting ready for them to arrive at 11AM.

My in-laws leave their house 30 minutes prior to whatever thing they're going to no matter how far away it is. This includes if it's at my wife's aunt's house, which is around the corner from theirs.

He doesn't care because he knows he's just bad at timing poo poo sometimes. Bruceski posted:I'm anxiety-ridden about being on time so I compromise; get there early, sit in my car with a book until it's time. My mom would rather be an hour early than 5 minutes late. She does the same though. She would never expect pepper to be ready for her early. She just reads in the car. She also is more likely to be way early to an appointment than a social gathering. I'm at the point where I run 10 minutes early instead of half an hour finally myself. My mom is also the sort to invite people over to eat at a certain time. And is clear that's when dinner is being served, not when people should start showing up. So it's more of a "get here sometime after 130 and before 155 because if you show up at 205 we're at the table already". And if you really want to show up earlier, you're just gonna have to sit in the kitchen and chat and also probably help because she'll still be elbow deep in cooking. To me, it's somehow more strict if a start time but also more lenient. I dunno if it's cultural or a quirk, but I like it.

AITA for going to gay bars to get hit on even though I’m not gay? Sort of like it says in the title. My ex-girlfriend broke up with me roughly six months back, and I've finally worked through all that and feel ready to date again-- but I get no catches at all. I've tried the dating apps, I've tried meetups, I've tried other bars, and it's like I'm anywhere ranging from invisible to slightly repulsive. It's doing a serious number on my self-esteem. I was hanging with a couple of friends of mine, and we went to go see a performance we'd been interested in, which happened to be happening at a popular gay bar in town. When I was going up to the bar to get us drinks, I noticed I was getting a lot of looks from the guys there. My friends noticed too and were giving me some lighthearted crap for it, but I was honestly just really flattered? It felt really good to be looked at like that. Once everyone was a little drunker, one of the guys at the bar even nudged me and joked about the fact that he knew that I was probably straight because lots of people that don't normally go to gay bars were there for the performance, but that he just had to give it a shot to see. I told him very sincerely that I was super flattered, but I had to get back to my friends-- I didn't tell him I wasn't gay. I guess it didn't seem important to mention, since I was 'turning him down' anyway and he'd already guessed that I was straight. But I've been back quite a few times since. For one, it's a rad bar and the drinks are stellar, but it really does come down to the fact that I've been feeling so low and ugly and unwanted, but there I get checked out and flirted with like I'm hot stuff. It's been a gigantic confidence-booster. I casually mentioned this to my sister, and she was completely gobsmacked. She says that's despicable of me to do, that I'm lying to and stringing along people that might have real interest, and I'm using them as 'helium to inflate my balloon' (as she says) and not thinking of them as real people with real feelings. I think she's hugely overreacting; I haven't had anyone get upset with me for gentle turn-downs and if it looked like I was seriously hurting someone by doing it I'd stop immediately. So tell me, Reddit, AITA?

Taima posted:Like the time I ordered duck tongues in china and didn't know that duck tongues... had bones... and you ate the bones... that was fun... but now I laugh about it. Reacting to a surprising and/or negative cultural experience by being instantly angry is just the sign of a dullard. Mom was a little put out that when we went out for dim sum and ordered duck chin that we got a plate of basically beaks. They're delicious by the way, and there's a surprising amount of very tender meat on those.

WIBTA for "outing" my sister as straight?quote:My sister (26) is a secondary school teacher. She's always been a bit of a character; she's on the spectrum and can be very awkward and obsessive. When we were teenagers, one of the things she got really obsessed with was gay characters from TV shows and stuff, which I thought she's grown out of, but apparently not. quote:We lived together growing up, and she never gave any indication that she was gay. Plus, I'm sure she's had crushes on men. She went through a really long phase of being obsessed with Alan Cumming. Oh sweetie...

Wait, who are the 'Big 3' in Marvel? I've only ever heard that term to refer to Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. I'm guessing it'd be like, Cap, Iron Man and...Wolverine? But I'd rather imagine this is a real story and she slapped down fan art of DC characters and Stan just went 'whatevs' and signed it.

If i was thinking big 3 of Marvel, it'd be Spider-man, Cap America and Wolverine. But if it was limited to just characters that Stan Lee had a hand in creating, then i'd say Spidey, Iron Man and the Hulk

Marvel doesn’t really have a big trinity in the way that DC does and a lot of the big heroes today were more or less B-listers for most of the comics history. Prior to the MCU, the first three that spring to mind would have been Spider-Man, Wolverine, and like, Hulk probably. I guess Iron Man/Cap/Thor could be the other possibility but eh

Yeah, I'd have guessed Cap, Iron Man and Thor for being the main movie heroes.
