Dude could have called the cops and had Janet arrested. OP said she was yelling at him while assaulting him in front of a thousand witnesses. I would imagine her arrest would solve the whole work issue too because she'd probably get fired over it.

I get that everyone is supposed to toughen up, kick the poo poo out of someone who attacks them, and never call the cops, but if you're standing by doing nothing while your partner is being physically assaulted because you are afraid of work consequences then you have something wrong in your head.

Bf [17M] wants me [17F] to "try to dress better" on a daily basis - recurring issue. Hi Reddit, I apologise if anyone thinks of this as immature. It's just that I can't understand why I feel so strongly against agreeing to his request. We are both in the same school. Bf doesn't go over the top with his own clothing choices but he supposedly "tries" and regularly keeps up to date on fashion. I on the other hand do try hard to dress up well on some days and I don't on others. It is a simple matter that I am not always in the mood to be thinking about things I consider much more frivolous - my studies is more important to me. I've struggled with depression, body image problems, I have a perfectionistic streak, and have self-harmed before. Please help me understand what it is about his request that upsets me so much! This has been a recurring issue for us. TLDR; Bf wants me to dress up nicely on a daily basis for school. I don't know why I feel so strongly against agreeing to his request. What should I do about it?

AITA for reporting a pregnant coworker to management after discovering we’re all covering for her? I am 5 months pregnant, coworker is 4 months pregnant, we work in a small team of 8 and often cover each other shifts, stay back when someone has appointments and generally help each other out. I have been really struggling with my pregnancy and have been careful to schedule appointments on my days off and to take as many precautions as I can to avoid impacting everyone else. Coworker, who is saying that she’s having a wonderful, enjoyable pregnancy, is showing up late, then going for a smoke and a coffee before starting. “I’m just running late, at OBGYN” quickly becomes and hour or more late, and isn’t being noted on her time sheets, so the person covering her isn’t getting paid for that time and it’s especially difficult for me when I’m already struggling physically to not know what time I’ll be able to go home. I recently learned that other coworkers have been covering a significant part of her tasks, because they feel badly for her having to do it whilst pregnant- tasks that I’m still doing and have been doing with ease. Our manager is very accommodating and has made several offers to purchase alternative equipment and make changes in the workplace, that she has refused (as have I so far) because it’s easy to complete these tasks the way things are now. I know they are not aware that coworker simply isn’t doing those things, because our manager has asked me about it recently. WIBTA if I discussed this with management? Other staff are complaining to me about the additional workload. I’m also being expected to put in additional effort at a time that I have no extra energy to give. Trying to bring it up with coworker hasn’t made a difference, and other staff have already told me they’re too tired to help me when I’m struggling because they’re already helping her. I’m worried that I’m just being petty about everyone fussing over her, when I’ve been working so hard to not impact the rest of the workplace. Editing to add: The fact that she’s smoking is A) only relevant because it cuts into my time when I want to go home B) none of our business, whether we like it or not C) possibly because she may be cutting back slowly under doctors orders. I had to wean myself off medications because cold turkey would have significantly increased the risk of miscarriage. I’m not her doctor and you’re not either.

AITA for toppling over a girl's float and ruined her holiday? We(9 college young adults) went for a short stay at the beach over the weekend. There were giant floats for rent and most of us were chilling on them on the water while enjoying the sun and breeze. One of the girls, lets call her Lisa(good friend of my friend, not really close with me), had been constantly splashing me water and giggling away when I told her to stop. She was poking fun at the float I rented, a pink whale, which she said suited me(yeah, I am fat). She then kicked my float repeatedly until it toppled over, and I fell into the water as she laughed. Have to say the sea water was really salty, almost as salty as my feelings. I swam up to Lisa(guess what, whales can swim!), grabbed hold of 1 end of her jellybean float, and with a sharp twist toppled over her float too. Lisa fell into the water with a scream. That would have been the end of my petty revenge, except that I did not know that Lisa could not swim, and the water was pretty deep there. With the help of a friend and a stranger nearby we managed to drag Lisa to the shore. She was panicking so hard that she tore the strip on her bikini, and yeah, looked pretty much revealed. She also had makeups on her face which smeared with sea water and tears, guess she never intended to get wet at all. Lisa spent the rest of the holiday indoors and never stepped onto the beach again. Even though nobody among us openly blamed me for it, I could sense the awkwardness in the air. Lisa completely avoided me and we haven't spoken a word til we parted. Earlier on the friend who was close to Lisa messaged me and said that I should apologise to Lisa. I am not sure about that. I do feel a little guilty for toppling her float but on the other side, I think she asked for it. AITA?

AITA for talking like the queen? Me and my boyfriend both live in Essex. I'm originally from South Shields, and I lived there until I was 18, so I'm a Geordie, and I have a thick accent. For anyone unsure of what this accent is, look up Geordie Shore. My boyfriend is originally from Essex, and has a slight accent, but it's barely there, and you wouldn't notice it if you weren't paying attention. I don't remember how it came up but we were talking and I said "canny". He then stopped the conversation to take the mickey out of my saying canny. I asked him what was so funny, and he said that it just sounds funny when I talk and use slang sometimes. I said that this wasn't the nicest thing to hear, because I'm already self conscious of my accent, which he knew. He doubled down and said that he couldn't explain why he found it so funny, it just was, and said it was like I was talking another language sometimes. I can, when needed, do a pretty bang on RP accent, where I talk like the queen or someone on the old BBC shows, with no accent at all. So I said "is this more to your liking, darling?" in the accent. He told me to come off it, but I kept it going, and I am planning on keeping it going until he apologizes. I am also refusing to use slang, and am using full versions of words and the royal "we" and "one". I told him this by saying "one will refrain from utilizing such language upon the reception of an expression of regret from the opposing party". He made the comments at around half 7 and it's nearly half 9 now, and in this time I've either not spoken or only spoken in the accent with the dialect. He's getting more and more frustrated with me but still hasn't said he's sorry in this time. Not only is this beginning to hurt my throat but I'm starting to regret picking a fight over it. AITA?

A Wizard of Goatse posted:He charges a small amount because he's not comfortable with charging more. If you do anything creative or arty even just as a dumb hobby you're likely to wind up with people in your social circle hassling you to give them free poo poo all the loving time, and the usual advice for dealing with a family of mooches is to set a pro rate for your labor and always stick to it (cause if you make an exception and anyone else hears about it, the others will never stop demanding one of their own). The OP's just sorta bungling the whole thing cause he lacks the confidence it takes to tell people no. Even going this route can backfire on you. I offered to repair a roommate's guitar one time, I said I would do it the next day and he offered me like $10 and some beers which I accepted for it and then he came home at 6 and was mad that it wasn't done (edit: in time for his practice, which was cancelled anyway) because he'd PAID ME. Like bro if you took this to a shop it they would have charged you for an hour of bench time even though it's a 15 minute repair so like $50+ and you wouldn't have got it back the next day anyway, don't expect pro service levels for bubblegum prices, gently caress

AITA for not getting my wife an expensive gift for her birthday because I got promoted at work? I’ve recently gotten a promotion at work. With the salary increase it should help make us a little more comfortable at home (we have a 1 year old) to add onto it. Anyways, my wife’s birthday was a few days ago and we had her family over and a few of my family to celebrate the occasion. I actually got her a few things (one of them was a household appliance, the rest was personal things for her that she had wanted) the household appliance thing pissed her the hell off by the way. So I spent what I would say a reasonable amount of time trying to get her a nice gift, and basically spent a few hundred dollars on her for her birthday. Well... when she opened the gifts she was not happy. The look on her face said it all. She made a passive aggressive comment because others took notice of her dislike. It went something like “Oh I was expecting a little more money to go into this” she played if off as not upset in front of people, as soon as they left she confronted me though. “Seriously... this is all you got me? Where is that extra money going to go to if you’re going to be cheap with me on my birthday?” Even with the promotion, I was planning not to spend anymore than I usually spend. cold as HELL, she was as serious as you can be. It hurt. I mean I spent time looking for gifts. Thought she would like them and got her a card. Yet somehow she’s still making me feel guilty.
