It is entirely possible for an otherwise empathetic person to blank and gently caress up in one of the most stressful and sudden situations to be in. That hypothetical person would not blame her for being mad at him.

Middle class problems. AITA for buying my daughter a purple tablet? quote:My husband and I decided to get my daughter a new tablet for Christmas because she broke her last one. We were waiting for a good sale and we found one. My husband sent me the link and the coupon code and asked me to order it. When I opened the page I saw that they came in a few colors including purple which is my daughter's favorite color. I bought the purple one. It came in the mail today and now my husband is throwing a fit that I didn't get a black one. He thinks that if we decided to sell it one day it wouldn't sell as well as a black one. This is a tablet for a 6 year old, I don't think it will last long enough to be resold at any point. I told him that and that it was for her and not him and she loves purple. He told me he thinks I bought the purple one just to irritate him. I told him that was kind of narcissistic, thinking that I bought something for my daughter in her favorite color just to piss him off. Now he's giving me the silent treatment, slamming doors and stomping around. So, I need your help, am I the rear end in a top hat? You got your daughter something she liked just to make me mad!

AITA for being annoyed when my nephew always orders the most expensive food on the menu?quote:whenever we go out to a family dinner i always insist on paying, especially when it’s with my father/mother in law. my sister in laws son (11) always sees this as a chance to order the most expensive menu options. today at lunch we all ordered entrees while he got the fanciest appetizer, starter and a whole lobster to himself. when his lobster came he took a bite and said “i don’t want it anymore. i’m full”. i suggested he take it home but he responded with “i don’t eat leftovers”. i tried to hide my annoyance but this continually happens every time we get together. i’m getting real sick of it especially when my own meal costs $20 and his ends up being $120+ each time. hell ALWAYS get the most expensive filet mignon steak or seafood and never finish.

If they're going to talk up cultural values and expect OP to pay for everyone they need to tell their kid to quit being a shithead and show some respect. EDIT: Like they should have intervened the first time he pulled this or at least intervened after and apologized to OP, 11 is plenty old enough to decide what you want to eat but not if you're going to say 'everything' and then throw away the extra.

If you're going to do the paterfamilias thing though you get to put you foot down, so grow a spine and say food is to be eaten, not wasted and you will be ordering for the child until he learns not to leave left overs while silently and unflinchingly staring at his grandparents.

I wanna see the edgelord teen girl who has a poster of Pol Pot or George Dubya or someone, maybe the dudes from Los Alamos. "oh, you like true crime? well, see this guy here? That's Colin Powell. His lies to the United Nations in part led to the unnecessary deaths of one million or more people in Iraq and surrounding territories. How many people did your serial killer have in his fridge? six? psh, maybe I'd think he was cool if I was a little kid." before you suggest it, lots of teens already have mao/stalin/hitler on their walls lmao

IME, more than one party goes into it thinking they might have to pay, keeps their powder dry til the end, and then makes the biggest show of refusing all other offers to pay. This can take 5-20 minutes, depending on how much relative face is at stake from paying.

My family its pretty simple since they announce ahead of time because "when I'm drunk I don't have the right brain to argue". Sometimes theres a little game at the start but its way easier to fold when the other party is basically wagering how many dishes and drinks they're ready to order. pentyne posted:Curious why the sister-in-laws husband isn't one of the options to pay. Wife wants the face and he likes being paterfamilias, but he hasn't learned to rule.

My wife and I moved into a house where the previous two or three owners got divorced within like 5 years of buying the house. I think I know why- The main bathroom was fairly cramped, but at some point a previous owner installed a very large pedestal sink. So there's no under sink cabinet, and the sink was so wide you couldn't fit more than one person in the bathroom. The whole house had things like that, doors that couldn't latch, outlets that wouldn't work, fixtures that burned out bulbs quickly. They all made life just a little annoying and uncomfortable; the state of the house was sending a subconscious message.

Maybe a little too cinematic to be true, but hey, I'll suspend disbelief for a good story. Me [36M] with my [42F] of 2 years, I suspect she's up to some shenanigans. quote:I've dated this lovely lady for about 2 years and she's meant the world to me. We've been two peas in a pod and I adore her completely. We've always had our week or weekend plans committed because we tend to travel quite a bit, so having these plans cemented is an important detail due to the arrangements I make for an outing. [Update]I [36M] walked into my lovely GF [42F] with her new boy toy. I brought the ice cream. quote:First off, I want to say thanks to the advice everyone had given. There were a few thoughts that resonated that I appreciate. Secondly, get your popcorn. Disgunbgood.jpg.gif I know we all like a good story, and this is somewhat therapeutic for me. This all happened a few days ago and it took me a bit to digest everything.

The U.S. is freaking GIGANTIC, like massive, enormous. Amd this leads to many differences and challenges that WestEuropeans don't deal with at all. Well, that, and just plain cultural differences.

Yeah, most 'creative writing' projects on Reddit are not actually fake, but rather a more dramatic retelling of a previous *real* Reddit story. Like that story from earlier, where the wife had a threesome without her husband, then said for her husband to 'reclaim' her while not getting why he was upset? Apparently, it was fake, but based off an earlier thread posted. Except, the real version is a lot more sad, like genuinely upsetting how the poster wrote it. Like one word answers and a lot of grammar mistakes and respond to threads weirdly, you could instantly tell the dude was freaking out really bad and panicking. I'll try to find in a bit

The British are somewhat overrepresented on the English-speaking Internet, I think? I'm not sure if the French and Germans "lose" some posters to native language parts of the Web, or if the Brits genuinely spend more time online, or what the deal is. Maybe it's just confirmation bias.

I have an electric kettle and I'm in the US, but it's absolutely fantastic using one in the UK since it boils much faster due to them having 230v/13A (IIRC) vs our 110v/15 or 20a circuits. I still love mine though  Miserable Maid posted:Ah, speaking of that...

The only ones I usually insta-disbelieve are cuckolding stories, since probably 5 times across iterations of this thread I've found "hahah, i got em" posts later from people linking to the article and claiming to have made it up to troll people. There's a huge undercurrent of racist cuckoldry trolling coming from 4chan because I guess they think they're "owning" people by... posting about the (largely false) inadequacies of white men (that stem from their own insecurities)?

Engineers are truly the worst people to ever live. I don't know if the profession attracts broken people or if it's the education that shatters their mind. Either way they think they're smart like doctors, who are also stupid but at least have the excuse of having to work for years on a schedule designed by people who took cocaine all day and then heroine to fall alseep every night when you could buy miracle speedball tonics everywhere. Every engineer I have ever had to deal with has been a uniquely terrible client in their own way.

I think it fits this thread. cumshitter posted:I have an extended family of rich libtards and I happen to have the fancy STEM degree while the rest are doctors and lawyers. None of them are currently able to see my children or speak to me until they apologize or take an oath (to me) to defend their country and freedom. Lol at the hubris of making GBS threads on people with doctorates, master's degrees, and post education professional certifications. I have an engineer client I hate dealing with because every call with him devolved into him ranting about wanting to kill "libtards."
