AITA for never returning my friend’s oven mitts

2 years for a set of oven mitts? If I left a spare set of like, oven mitts or tongs or whatever at my friend's house after they just moved in and forgot them, even if I remembered like 6 months later or whatever I would just ask "Hey do you even still have those?" and they said "yeah you left them here and I assumed it was a gift." I would honestly just say "Alright they're your problem now." The gently caress do you urgently need oven mitts for 2 years after you forgot them that can't wait to order them from like, amazon or whatever? Especially if your solution is "Mail them back to me and pay for it."

As it typical for things that end up in this thread, it's not about the oven mitts and the person asking the question is so bad at navigating interpersonal relationships (they are posting on reddit for advice to begin with) that they have no idea what it's actually about or how to navigate the situation.

I am trying to figure out whether this person has a yorkie that her mom thinks is a bichon frise, a beejohn that she thinks is a yorkie, a mutt, or some other small dog that she's hilariously wrong about.

For reference, this is a beejohn


and this is a yorky


They are very difficult to mix up if you have functioning eyeballs.

I just assumed it was a mix. But who can say for sure?

My wife and I both have professions tied to our name so we solved the kids name by jamming our last names together. We were lucky in that the first four letters of my name and the last five letters of her name worked out to a roughly normal looking/sounding last name.

There's no rules you can name a kid what ever you want.

'Beejohn yorkie' / Yorkichon = a designer mutt
= significantly less prone to debilitating genetic conditions, so I'm ambivalent about the whole 'mix two breeds and charge a fortune for what used to be called a mutt' thing.

You have to be a Mason to be a Shriner, and the Shriners are big into clowns. My uncle used to do a least one clown gig a month on the side, on his time off from of his radiator repair business, and would always have the checks made out to the Shriners hospital.

All the pictures I'm seeing just look like big yorkies. I would have assumed the appeal of a cross-breed would be getting something that looked like a teeny tiny bichon beejohn. I do not understand the merits of this cross-breed and refuse to learn.

AITA for saying my ex looked exactly the same when he was wearing devil horns?

quote:

My son wanted to have a Halloween party with his dad, but his dad was going to be away from this Friday, so we had it last weekend. Before the party, I let my son pick out headbands for all of the guests. He chose devil horns for my ex and cat ears for me.

My ex and I haven’t been getting along at all recently. Mostly because he intentionally sabotaged my new relationship and then was acting like he was just trying to protect me and our son. So, I thought the devil horns were perfect for him, although I didn’t encourage or tell my son to pick those for him.

When my ex wore the horns, he asked us how he looked and I said, “exactly the same as always”. My son thought it was funny and proceeded to try and explain to me that he was wearing horns and it turned into a game of me pretending I couldn’t see them and him trying to show me where they were. It was clear by his expression that my ex didn’t find it funny at all.

At one point I was in the kitchen getting dessert and my ex followed me to “help”. What he actually did was start a fight over what I said.

AITA?

TIFU by making my husband think I was going to prison and now I can't play Mario Party.



quote:

So today on the way home from work I encounter an accident. As I am pulling around the scene I notice that the lights behind my car look like several police are following me. I then get the idea for my marvelous gently caress up. I take a selfie when said lights behind me and send it to my dear husband with the text "poo poo." A few seconds go by and he responds with "Are you getting pulled over?" I text back and say I'm not pulling over!

Queue the phone call with an exasperated/confused husband asking me if I'm being serious. I tell him I'm not going to jail, I'm running and that I'm planning to ditch my car in a shopping center and run.

Well the only problem is I'm very convincing when I am joking/playing a prank and he of course starts to go into hysterics before I start laughing and telling him it's a joke.

I laugh for a bit and then proceed to tell him it's a joke I'm almost home ha ha ha. But the line is dead. He has hung up. Silence. I try to call back and straight to voicemail. Angry text flood my phone and I'm met with a very angry husband who most likely wants to murder me as I arrive home.

Dear husband will not play Mario Party with me tonight. I have apologized profusely and when he reads this I hope he knows he is the bestest husband in the world and I'm so sorry and please play Mario Party with me baby.

Had a friend in Home Ec who grabbed the pizza we were cooking out of the oven with his bare hands because we asked him to check on it. He didn't react until he set the pizza down then started screaming about how his hand was on fire. Every time we cooked something he burnt himself, including things we only microwaved. Even when we weren't cooking he would burn his hand in the scalding hot water coming out of the tap when washing dishes or whatever. No idea if he ever learned how to cook.

When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror.



My girlfriend of seven years (and best friend for my entire life) cheated on me with my older brother.

quote:

I’m 20m. I’ve been dating my girlfriend 19f since we were 13. We were best friends since preschool before that. She’s been involved in every happy memory in my life, every good time. I bought an engagement ring for her. I was going to ask her to marry me on November 1st. Not anymore since i found out she’s been sleeping with my brother 29m. Apparently while I was working overtime this summer (trying to save for a house…and a wedding….and a future FOR HER) she was lonely and needed company. And one day she got to my house before I was done with work and he was over doing laundry. They got to talking and hanging out and then I guess loving. I have no idea how long this has been going on for, or if it was going to continue to go on if I didn’t find out. I feel like the loving floor has been pulled out from under me. I don’t know how to process this. But I guess if anyone ones a cheap engagement ring hit me up

Update: My girlfriend of seven years (and best friend for my entire life) cheated on me with my older brother.

quote:

Thanks for all the messages and positive support. I appreciate it.

I dumped my ex obviously. She started crying, saying I was her best friend, she never meant to hurt me. I told her to loose my number and get into therapy. A lot of people were pointing out that the relationship between my brother and ex might be unhealthy bc of the age gap and how he’s know her his entire life. I don’t know or care about any of that, it seems like something her and a therapist should figure out.

A lot of people messaged me asking if I told her/my parents. I really didn’t have a choice since all of them were supposed to be involved in the proposal (we were going to have a party after) I had to tell them why it was off.

Her parents were really mad. Especially her dad, her mom started crying. My parents were pissed too, apparently him and my dad had a pretty explosive fight (I wasn’t there for it, I don’t want to be anywhere around him for a while. But I guess my dad told him he didn’t want him coming to the house for a while.

I found someone to buy the ring for $7500 so I didn’t take much of a hit. Hopefully his relationship will end up better than mine.

I did tell my ex about my plan to propose and I showed her the ring. Idk that might have been petty or rude of me but I guess I wanted her to realize.

Again thanks for everything. I appreciate the advice and encouragement from you all.

The rare story where all the family members actually align with the wronged party. Hope he gets therapy too, glad he doesn't give a gently caress about the underlying reasons why they did it.

I hope we get Update: my older brother mysteriously died in the woods :murder:

Also I can tell OP will be okay because between the first and second update he learned how to double return on reddit.

edit: from the comments

quote:


dipshit redditor: Your brother is a predator who took advantage of your teenage girlfriend.

OP: She wasnt an innocent victim here.

dipshit redditor: I’ll bet you’ll look back on this when you’re older and think differently.

OP: I don’t know jack about grooming. But I know it doesnt take much thought or intelligence to know not to gently caress your boyfriends brother. And she’s a smart person.
