Just lived for hunting though, and took out hares and herring gulls. I once saw him try and stalk a cow, but quickly worked out that was a bad idea when the cow started trying to sniff and paw at him. This is my cat except she's terrified of everything. You can tell she's doing her best and trying really hard, her brain's just not putting two and two together. I'm pretty sure it actually is some kind of kitty autism. The other cat's trying her best to teach her too and fortunately is patient with her, but yeah, she's just not good at catting.

Lovely, sweet dog, but she could not understand that the free-roaming neighbour dog that had got into the yard and attacked her several times was not her friend. She also never learned how stairs worked and had troubles with uncarpeted floors.

And if it's anything like where I live (southeast US in a booming city), renting a room in a house is infinitely better and cheaper than paying for a 1BR in some lovely apartment complex. This doesn't really seem that bad compared to other subletting schemes.

AITA for playing an inappropriate TV show for my 6 year-old daughter?quote:I [31F] played a show called The Morning Show for my daughter [6F]. I was looking for a new show that we could watch together, and I stumbled upon this one while looking through our streaming services. Based on the title, I thought the show would be a fun/perky show about morning news, but it wasn’t. It’s about a crime, Jennifer Aniston, and has a lot of cussing and swearing. I realized about 30 minutes in that it wasn’t appropriate for my daughter and turned it off.

It could easily just be a self confidence thing. I had an insanely insecure flatmate once that flipped out when he found out I was talking to his mates and told me not to be friends with his friends. Which worked out in the end as 20 years later I'm still friends with these people and he isn't because it turns out being a bunch of drama gets old after a while.

AITA for telling my sister in law that she cant sleep at my house for thanksgiving if she’s on her period?quote:My sister in law invited herself to my home to stay for Thanksgiving but I don’t want her sleeping at my home if she’s on her period. A few times in the past she has come to my home and stayed while she has been on her period. Both times she slept in our guest room and ruined our sheets and mattress pads. It looked like a massacre. To make matters worse she didn’t tell us, we had to find the disgusting sheets in our laundry and find the blood stains on the mattress pad. Not only that she has left tampons wrappers and bloody tampons in the toilet without flushing and blood on the toilet and inside of the toilet seat. I told my husband to say something to his sister, but he was too embarrassed to say anything . I figured I wouldn’t say anything because she was moving out of the country and l didn’t expect her to visit anymore. Well she just informed us that she’s coming for Thanksgiving and I informed her that I don’t want her sleeping over if she’s on her period because the last few times she left a nasty mess while on her period and It was disgusting. She cursed me out and called me a rude B*tch and said that’s why no one in her family likes me they only tolerate me because I’m married to her brother. I told her that’s fine, and Im not tolerating a grown woman staying in my home that cant control and clean up after herself while on her period. I understand having heavy periods but to leave a mess for everyone to see and to clean up is absolutely disgusting. Should I just kept quiet or am aita for telling her she can’t come if she’s on her period.

I don't think I'd use the conditional "if you're on your period," I'd just say "you can't sleep at my house because you ruined my bedsheets last time and even made us clean it up." They treated you and your house with disrespect, they no longer have entitlement to free lodging.

OP is still kind of an rear end in a top hat for framing it around her period, instead of just saying she can't come over as long as she's a unhygienic goblin that can't clean up after herself.

I think I had a stroke AITA for wanting a grocery store employee fired because I feel uncomfortable? Let me start by saying — I would never gently caress with someone’s job for no reason. Jobs feed mouths. I would never take away someone’s ability to survive, so I thought… For about a month now every week I go to the local grocery store. I am followed to my car by an employee, every single time. I normally get bad vibes and scurry to my car and leave quickly. He is a very heavy guy and I am much quicker than him. One time I went to the store with my husband, but he waited in the car. Employee followed me out, but then ran away when he saw my husband. Anyways, I decided I was being a dick. It was probably just coincidence that he followed me every time, right? So I take my time. I try not to feel stalked. I get in my car. Start it and take a sip of my drink. Now buddy is at my window motioning for me to roll it down, and I do. He proceeds to tell me “Bless you. Bless you. Seriously bless you” and I’m like — what?? He then points at my boobs, and says “Happy birthday to ME”. Im uncomfortable and go to drive away as he yells “IM A BABY!!” And starts sucking an imaginary pacifier (or boob lol) Now I don’t like to think of myself as a “Karen” or a prude, but… the next day I go into the store to report him to management. As soon as I walk in, he is there “Happy birthday to me” I report him. The manager just doesn’t seem to give a gently caress. “I’ll talk to him” he says. So I decided to say “cool, I’ll talk to him with you” - even though I was super nervous about confronting him, I knew he would have NO consequences otherwise. So I go to him with the manager, tell him what he did wasn’t appropriate and that he scares me when he follows me to my car. He says to say “I’m sorry but the bakery line was so long” (???) and the manager cuts him off and tells him “I don’t care, don’t do it again” And that’s that. He is still an employee, and I don’t feel comfortable shopping at my favorite store anymore. I’m scared he may act aggressively and even if he doesn’t, I feel…awkward. AITA for thinking he should have lost his job?

AITA for being upset over a hypothetical scenario So my fiancée (M) sent me (F) an instagram post that asked ‘would you choose to be Spider-Man for 5 years but you die at the end of the 5 years, or live your normal life’ and said that he would choose to be Spider-Man for 5 years. (The fact that it’s spider-man is going to make this sound silly but bear with me) This broke my heart because I personally would not trade anything for the rest of our lives together, and up to this point I believed he felt the same (based on his words, not my assumption). This lead to me breaking down and eventually suggesting that we just be friends, I know this is quite drastic but I felt betrayed and like I would rather find someone who felt the same way about me as I do about them. A sort of ‘I wouldn’t trade you for the world’ relationship; which I know exists because it’s how I feel about him. After thinking for some time I have decided that I would like to continue our relationship no matter if he feels less dramatically about me as I do him. I feel as though I can forget the hypothetical and carry on as usual (and be just a little bit less sure about the relationship). Despite this, I tried to explain my point of view further, to see if he had changed his mind. He explained that when answering the question he didn’t think about me but rather just his own life individually, however he still does not seem to understand my point of view and has stated that he is now only undecided on his answer to the original hypothetical. He is upset with me over the situation and is now ignoring me. I do love him a lot, and we are kind of perfect together, but this has seriously hurt my feelings. Am I the rear end in a top hat for perpetuating the whole situation? Update: he texted me ‘I don't want to talk about it anymore, I think we should be friends’. Edit: I’m aware that it is unreasonable but it did hurt my feelings. I also don’t think anyone can begin to understand from a text post. I’m not crazy and I’m not blinded by my emotions, this is mostly a distraction from how much pain I’m in currently because of my own idiot self.

Outing myself as a comic book nerd, but pretty much the main theme of all the Spider-Man comics is that Parker has to choose between sacrificing his personal relationships and saving his family/girlfriend/the world.
