To avoid concern over what anyone is wearing, weddings should just give out Patagonia fleeces with the bride-and-groom's name embroidered on it

Wedding Brother: 1. Yea, little bro would probably look cool but... 2. Not his place to look cool or unique unless if told to. So shut the gently caress up and wear the boring grey poo poo for the wedding that you are not paying for.

Classic case of insecure bride making sure everyone else in the wedding party looks like poo poo. She'll probably cry later looking at the photos because she had an ugly wedding.

AITA for starting a business in direct competition with my father's and making him lose clients? So I have a father who left our family to start a new one with our neighbor when I was 13. I never fully forgave him even thought he tried (and still does) to make it up to me. Growing up, he would pay me to work with him in his company. It's pretty advanced construction finishing stuff (like custom molding for many different uses). I worked with him on and off through college and I've gotten very good at it. He asked me to join his company full time as an equal owner after I graduated. But my stepmom had a fit and basically forced my stepbrother into the mix as well. I do not get along with my stepbrother and told my father that it's either him or me. He also did not have the right skills to work in a major capacity. To no one's surprise, my father said I needed to compromise so everyone in the family can be happy. I refused to compromise and went ahead and set up my own company. My father was upset but I guess he figured he couldn't stop me. We continued having weekly dinners. For some reason, people are liking my company's work more. I have expanded my company more than my father ever has. I also targetted his major clients who have slowly come over to my company. I don't even do any of the labor myself anymore unless I want to. Last week, my father broke down and said his business was struggling to survive. I admit I did feel bad so I offered him a full time job in my company and that I'd buy out his tools and workshop lease. But I told him my stepmother and stepbrother are not welcome anywhere near my company. This made my father pretty angry and we had a pretty big fight. He said I betrayed him. Then I basically told him he betrayed me by cheating on my mother. I do feel kind of guilty I ruined my father's company he worked hard to build. But at the same time he forced me into this position by getting his family involved. AITA?

It's not like the uncle would've KNOWN that the guy was coming back for revenge in a big way, all he can do is tell them what had happened so far I know she's mad about losing all her stuff, but I think she's misplacing the blame a little bit from the guy who started the fire to her uncle

Smirking_Serpent posted:AITA for being upset because my son didn’t talk to me, but talked to my wife? This reminds me of my dad, only this guy is actually better because he doesn't seem to be trying to guilt-trip his son about it. My dad has some massive insecurity complex about me talking with my mom and feeling "neglected" and it is extremely obnoxious. He is under the impression that I like talking to mom more because she is more educated or something. Not so! It is because, unlike my dad, my mom is not a bundle of insecurity constantly trying to win my approval, so I can actually expect honest feedback from her about things. Any time I am trying to talk with my mom in person and dad is around I have to keep my voice low or he'll waltz in all "WHAT AM I MISSING OUT ON" and jesus christ it is obnoxious.

"You've betrayed me!" he says to the kid he abandoned so that he could start a new family Tell him that you'll give him and your step-brother full-time jobs if your father divorces his new wife. If he refuses, that's when you use your construction skills to seal up your father behind a brick wall

I hope he keeps it until his dad has no choice but to accept the buyout or go bankrupt. Pay the old man a reasonable hourly for the rest of his life, and let him and the homewrecker retire on his little 401K.

"I'm just trying to help, father. Okay how about this, no castrations, you both get jobs, but step-mother takes your place in this chamber" *lays another brick* “My son! Ha-ha. This is a very good joke, indeed. Many times will we laugh about it — ha-ha — as we drink our wine together — ha-ha.” “Of course. As we drink the Amontillado.” “But is it not late? Should we not be going back? They will be expecting us. Let us go.” “Yes. Let us go.” As I said this I lifted the last stone from the ground. “My son ! For the love of God!!” “Yes. For the love of God!”

My girlfriend's father wants to get an investigator/law worker on mequote:[US;TX] I have been secretly dating my girlfriend for nearly three years. She was recently diagnosed first with UTI and then later as a diabetic person. While she was in the hospital, she gave me her dog so that I can take care of the doggy. Her parents knew I was taking care of the dog. (Been suspicious of me dating her.) They found out I’ve been living at her place thru the dog as I stayed there instead of my place (no backyard for potty). A random number calls me randomly twice and it turns out to be her father (he invaded his daughters personal belongings to find out my number.) he claims that I caused his daughter to be admitted into the hospital thru sleeping with her. He said he’ll get investigators/law workers to find out. While I find all this is nonsense. Would I be able to win a case of where sleeping with a recently diagnosed diabetic daughter can cause diabetes ? OR even winning at all ?...….

I mean, there has to be a reason they've been secretly dating. If it's not race or religion, could be the daughter is mildly autistic or something. There are posts on r/legaladvice sometimes where parents use an autism or depression/other mental illness diagnosis to attempt to keep their kids from leaving home and control them. Sometimes they have/try to get guardianship, but a lot of the time it's just using pressure or vague legal threats.

AITA For trying to enforce a non-compete contract my employee signedquote:I own my own company. It's a small business, only 7 employees. It's also a fairly niche business but we do have a few direct competitors in our metropolitan area. Because of the somewhat unique nature of the type of work we do, I have all of my employees sign a non-compete contract when they are hired. I am very up front about it and I've had the contract looked at by a couple lawyers to make sure it's on the up and up.

Non-competes aren't for rank-and-file employees, this guy's probably going to end up paying a settlement not to have to pay a law firm to lose in court. And that's on top of already losing the confidence of basically his whole staff. Small business owners are all trash until proven otherwise.

And that's on top of already losing the confidence of basically his whole staff. Non-competes aren't enforceable in general and some states its been made explicitly clear in case law. Also, once you fire someone you sever their contract, and then they aren't bound by the stipulations. In short, this power tripping rear end in a top hat is about to get skull hosed by the law and the free market.

Had a coworker who worked for mcdonalds corporate, who had a noncompete, jumped ship to KFC who was a direct competitor, then signed their non-compete, then left them to join Wendy's who also had a noncompete and I assume each time he signs one he has to hold his hand over his mouth to stifle laughter
