AITA for exposing 2 office affairs a little? I work in a fairly casual office, but I mostly keep to myself. When I started, a bunch of guys at the office were rude to me, there's mostly guys in the industry and I am not. but 3 women at the office were really kind to me. Two of them were Jen, in sales, and Anna, in PR. They don't really know each other. Over time, I heard the rumors Jen was sleeping with Matt, one of the top managers there. Then that was confirmed because I was hanging out with Jen and drinking after work and she told me. Then, I was hanging out with Anna one time and she said she thought Matt was hot, and I was like 'girl, I wouldn't" and she laughed and said "I might of already" Anyway, it didn't seem like either of them knew he was sleeping around, which was kind of gross.. i prefer honesty. I also got the impression both of them had a crush and wanted more. So I told Jen, I knew Matt was sleeping with someone else at the company, and if she was cool with it, all good. But I wanted to tell her just in case she wasn't. And oh boy she wasn't. She said he told her he hadn't been with anyone else in a long time, was a lonely soul, wanted to build towards something more (but keep it quiet because of work). I didn't tell her who, because I wanted to respect Anna's privacy as much as I could while still being honest with Jen. Soon after, I told Anna something similar. I told her, it's all cool if you're cool with it, but you should know Matt is sleeping with someone else at the company. And she wasn't as upset as Jen, but she felt grossed out. She wanted to know who, and I told her "Just like you probably don't want it getting out, I think he or she feels the same way. So I'd rather not say" and she respected that. But the fact that I said "he or she" made Anna suspect it's a man, and she's been spreading gossip that Matt's gay, which is awkward. I know she's hurt but I'm kind of embarrassed on her behalf. Matt has been seeming really antsy and stressed recently, and I suspect it's related. It sucks because he's taking his stress out on everyone. AITA for poking my nose where it maybe didn't belong, or did I do the right thing? I usually keep to myself way more, so this is weird for me

The only place it is okay to take your own hot sauce to is Cuba because the food is nearly universally bland and flavourless or inedible.

1redflag posted:I mean, let her spice up her food however she wants, but I do also think it’s kind of self defeating when people put hot sauce on every meal they eat because then they are pretty much just tasting the hot sauce and not the food they put it on. Hot sauce literally tastes better than most foods, so it's not actually a problem.

Me [26/M] with girlfriend of 4 months [27/F]. Our friends are warning me about her “odd behaviors”. Am I blind/ignoring warning signs? Red Flags? Starting to doubt myself. I’ve known my current GF for about a year. We met through friends and were casual acquaintances. She was dating someone sort of on/off and he put an end to it just before Christmas of last year. We stayed casual acquaintances until this summer and then began seeing each other. Official for four months. Friends have commented on her “odd habits” that have ruined relationships in the past. At drinks, a few of my friends warned me. That was followed-up by one of girlfriends asking me to give her an honest chance. From the outside, she looks completely, totally, normal. She’s amazing looking, well poised and just a really great sociable person. When we’re alone, she’s a lot more confessional about her social anxiety, esp. worried about hurting people’s feelings and worried she’s committed some transgressions. All things I’ve dealt with in a relationship before. She has mild/moderate OCD which she gets therapy for. I guess her odd behavior or habit is that she has this thing where she likes to play with my hair, for hours on end. We can watch a movie with her playing with my hair. She keeps asking if it bothers me or if I am annoyed. It neither bothers nor annoys me. I finally asked my friends to clarify and they went through a litany of “weird” things. She does every single one of them. She does talk to her cats; She is fastidious with folding clothes (it’s impressive to watch); She gets flustered easily in social situations and begins to profusely sweat; She has an odd habit of sleeping with her arm under her SO/ my clothes; She gets very “comfortable” around her SOs pretty quickly; She’s very direct about how she envisions her future; She has a bit of a “wild” past; She talks to herself (she’ll do it when she doesn’t think anyone is around/notices); She orders/alphabetizes everything and will fix it if it gets out of order; Her fridge is all put into special containers and ordered by categories (sauces in sauce section, meats in meats, leftovers with leftovers); She brushes her teeth ~3 or 4 times a day; She can be very forthright: she’ll ask (rhetorically) if she has bad BO then smell her pits, can’t decide and then ask me. None of this strikes me as critically odd/Red Flag, but everyone seems to think I'm blind to it..... Am I? Am I missing flags here? I met her parents and they’re lovely people who seemed a bit… like maybe I was going to dump her, too. They were very lovely but guarded, made sure I knew she was a really great girl, etc. Am I totally off the wall or are my/her friends just conjuring crap in their minds? tl;dr: Girlfriend of 4 months is supposedly waving red flags all over the place (list above) but I'm either missing them or they aren't red flags at all and her friends/my friends are being super weird/judgemental. Now I'm doubting myself.

She clearly likes well made seasoned food and this guy is making polish food(generally bland) and taking her to Italian restaurants(also notoriously bland Americanized food) and throwing a tantrum when she adds liquid pepper. I don't add hot sauce but its rare in a chain restaurant for me to not add a good amount of black pepper to almost everything.

Smirking_Serpent posted:Our dad [60s M] is quitting his job in order to take half of his 401k and day-trade with it. How can we convince him this is a terrible idea? It's dumb because day trading is dumb. In order to get price movement on stocks large enough to make that kind of money he's either got to have a huge sum of money or invest in more volatile stocks. Think a stock like Tesla. Given you can make roughly $60k a year if you have a couple million invested in income focused securities like dividend paying stocks and bonds we can assume he has less than that. He just wants to replace his income. He's essentially gambling his retirement fund, something really, really difficult to replace at his age. And this guy seems erratic. The stock market is fairly efficient at pricing in new information so I doubt he has access to the tools necessary to beat it, especially since he will be focusing on more volatile, and thus more thinly traded, stocks. That's all assuming he has the discipline to weather price fluctuations given the extreme emotional investment of seeing half his nest egg losing significant value over the course of a day or week. He might panic sell and then double down, like a bad gambler. There's a potential second layer of dumb depending on how he withdrew from his 401k. At his age he can withdraw penalty free but it's treated like employment income, and is subject to capital gains if he pulled the funds to a taxable account. If he rolled it over into an IRA only the withdrawals are taxed so that's less stupid. But this is insanely risky. At his age he should be moving to fixed income securities, planning out how his remaining money will last through retirement, and determining how he has to adjust his lifestyle to accommodate that plan. cumshitter fucked around with this message at 00:58 on Oct 5, 2019 |

People who make a lot of money, like 60k plussers seem to just never actually eat all of their food before they go grocery shopping. I dunno if like they run out of one thing and just buy a whole mess of groceries or if they just go shopping automatically no matter what they still have left, but their fridges and pantries are insane. Like packed to the brim with food, like they're playing tetris the the lines won't clear so they just keep stuffing. I helped some friends move and they fuckin ended up just like dumping most of their fridge and freezer, it was like easily a month or more of frozen meats and stuff that was still perfectly good but they wanted to "start over" or some poo poo. Then again I also know other people with tons of money and their fridges have less food in them than a freshman's dorm mini fridge. Just booze and some random bullshit cause I guess they just eat out forever or something. Khanstant fucked around with this message at 01:09 on Oct 5, 2019 |

AITA for not hiding my nipple piercings from my young cousin. Hear me out because I think the title sounds startling, but I have no other way to word it. Today I took my five year old cousin to go swimming at the pool at a community center. Afterwards, we went to the changing room to get out of our wet clothes and since she needed help and I was responsible for her, we used the same stall. I got her into her dry clothes and she hung out while I changed. When I took off my top she noticed my nipple jewelry and asked me about it. I ELI5 that it's kind of like how people wear earrings, but grownups can wear them other places too and compared it to my navel piercing too. She said "oh" and went back to talking about princess mermaids. We go back to my aunt's house and my cousin tells my aunt I have earrings in my "booboos". My aunt flips poo poo, telling me if I knew there was a chance she could see it then I should've taken them out, or not have changed in front of her at all. She claims that it was inappropriate because nipple piercings are inherently sexual and now she's worried my cousin is going to 1.) ask for the same thing 2.) tell everyone at her school about her big cousin's boob earrings.
