I would also absolutely not. And in this case it would have been easy for the staff member to just say “I’m sorry but these are needed for an event this evening.” There, done.

AITA for leaving a romantic vacation with my wife early because I missed my son?quote:Me and my wife have a five year old son, I work out of town for two weeks and she is a stay at home mom. I have 6 days at home every two weeks. My wife planned a romantic vacation because we have been trying for a baby and it’s been stressful plus she doesn’t get much alone time except when my son is in school but she’s usually doing other things like running errands, etc. So this was a chance for her to get a break and to bond. Unfortunately I ended up needing to work into my off days which meant I’d arrive home Monday night and come back the following Sunday evening. This meant that I got to see my son for only a few hours before leaving to go on vacation.

Alchenar posted:Everyone participates in the food preparation and cooking process, it's part of the ritual and also it's hard not to participate when the conversation is in the kitchen and it's obvious who isn't pulling their weight. This. I have a big family that gets together for the holidays, and the kitchen is a constant madhouse of people ducking in and out to tend to whatever they brought or helping out with whatever, bitching over oven times and temperatures, retrieving the cat that snuck in to steal some turkey, etc. In a functional, loving family, the whole insanity of the family getting together to share and cook Thanksgiving/Christmas dinner is all part of the fun and memories. The OP of that story is not part of a functional, loving family.

Our family rotates the venue each year so the same people aren’t always stuck cleaning and washing up etc, and everybody brings a specific plate - eg persons a, b and c bring salads, persons x, y and z bring desserts, persons d-f bring snacks, and so on. Having the entire extended family descend on your place for the entire day and not contribute a loving thing sounds awful and exhausting.

Baronjutter posted:A huge part of the bullying problem in a lot of schools flows straight from the top. When I was in high school, I got pulled into the office once, and was informed that a student (they refused to tell me who) had printed their own school newsletter thing and handed it out, and published a bunch of lovely comments about students they disliked. Apparently (they also wouldn't let me see the newsletter), it said that I liked to touch children. The whole thing was a big blur because I hadn't heard about any of this 30 seconds earlier, but the takeaway was that they had called me (and the other students, presumably) in to get our reaction to this, with the implication being that if they could get all the students to sign off on this being just a little laugh, they could avoid punishing the perpetrator.

I would dearly love to help with the Thanksgiving preparation, but every time I try I get told to just go sit and wait. I'm not trying to get an early start on the deviled eggs Mom, you're in your fifties and your joints are shot to hell from thirty years of working in hospitals, let me help! I think she's too proud to admit she could use the help.

AITA for refusing to celebrate Thanksgiving with MIL after I promised to cook the turkey?quote:We currently live with MIL in her house of horrors. FIL left her a year ago and took the furniture because his mistress liked the aesthetic. MIL makes excellent money, I'm talking upper six figures, maybe love seven, but she can't be assed to get new furniture, so there is literally no couch, no chairs, not loving table. Her excuse is she is never home so it would only benefit us. It's pretty depressing, but whatever.

AITA for prioritizing a pie server over my husband's career?quote:*Names are changed). I (26f) am married to David (28m). I enjoy baking and cooking, and right before Canadian Thanksgiving (beginning of Oct.), I baked a whole bunch of apple and pumpkin pies and froze them for later. My husband David, about 3 weeks ago, was asked to bring a dessert item for a potluck at work. He's a teacher, and also the only male teacher at his school (rest of the teachers are female-this will be relevant later on in my post). He doesn't like to cook or bake usually, so David asked me if he could bring two of my pies to school for the potluck. I said yes, as I didn't mind and I had lots of pies to spare. The issue was that he also wanted to bring my two pie servers to work with him as well. I said no initially, because I didn't want them to get lost or forgotten. He assured me that it would be fine and that I was being unreasonable for worrying about it. Cue the day of the potluck, a friday, when he returns home, no pie servers in hand. I asked him what happened, and he said that he forgot, but he'd get them next week (on the monday). Well, that didn't happen, and each time I asked, he said he forgot or was busy, etc. Finally at the end of that week, he brought home two pie servers, but one of them wasn't mine. It looked similar, but definitely not mine, and he asked me if we could just keep it, to avoid having to talk to his coworkers. I said "Absolutely not, I want it back." Two weeks go by with occasional reminders from me asking when he's going to get it back, and then yesterday, he says I need to stop asking because I'm not getting it back. Apparently, all the coworkers are female and he feels awkward interacting and talking to them. There is never the right moment to enquire about it, which is why he let 3 weeks lapse. He feels that it would be embarrassing for him to ask them for help to figure out what happened to my pie server. He says that I am making a big deal over nothing (and he has offered to buy me a new one). I am very angry and frusterated with him about this whole situation. I have told him that I am never helping again with another potluck, and he can't take any of my kitchen tools/items to "borrow". I threatened to contact his principal and coworkers over email to enquire about the pie server, since he won't talk to them, and he said I was being an rear end in a top hat/would damage his career. He said that I like lording this situation over him about a silly pie server. I just don't feel respected in this situation. I will accept his offer for a brand new pie server that I pick out, but the whole situation is still really nagging at me, and I want to know whether I was the rear end in a top hat for taking this argument too far, and being unreasonable?

WIBTA: If I don't have my roomates join for my friendsgivingquote:I don't know them very well but we sublease rooms to them, while we own the home. We're planning on having our friendsgiving here and don't really want them to be apart of it. They can go to kitchen and whatever they do normally, but just eat our food and sit with us during it. We're not friends, but we do all live respectfully, at most I'd say they're acquaintances. Now I'm not going to tell them they can't, but I won't ask them to join either, so nothing really changes for them, we're just having people over. Ok, pretty benign post. I wonder how this will play ou- -- quote:Sorry, but I think YWBTA. They live there, but you're going to exclude them, or exile them out of sight? It's a day for sharing. I can understand if they have somewhere else to go, but to tell them, "This is for us only, get out." is rather rude. Who knows, your friends might like them, etc. quote:op: I think it would be rude on their part to assume they can have our food. I'm not telling them to leave, but it would be pretty uncomfortable if they just pulled up a chair and set there, while grabbing a plate. quote:I gave my judgment elsewhere, but can we acknowledge the irony of this statement? You pretty much just described circumstances of the first Thanksgiving. quote:op: After seeing these comments, it definitely makes it seem like the holiday of entitlement. "OH you're cooking, well I live here so if you don't give me some, you're an rear end in a top hat. Please make sure to include me with your friends too" quote:It's kinda a dick move. quote:op: Man I've seen another post on here where someone didn't want to have their parents at Thanksgiving and they were NTA, but I don't want my roomates who I barley know I'm the rear end in a top hat? It just sounds like entitled roomates found this, and got their feelings hurt quote:Wouldn’t that be the opposite to the spirit of Thanksgiving? quote:op: Isn't it to celebrate what you're grateful for? quote:YTA. It's Thanksgiving—a holiday literally centered around sharing food and company with strangers. quote:op: I don't think that's how I'd describe the holiday, but difference of opinion. quote:Yes YWBTA. It’s awkward and unnecessarily alienating to have a big Friendsgiving event and not invite people who live with you. Would it really ruin your event to have them there? It’s Thanksgiving, a holiday that exists because once upon a time, complete strangers shared a feast. quote:op: So every holiday I'm supposed to include them just because they live there? Yeah I'd rather be the rear end in a top hat. You all sound so entitled lmao quote:It’s a slice of turkey and some stuffing is it really that big of a deal to offer? It’s kind of the idea of the day. Your friends might actually enjoy the guest stars at your dinner if they want to join. YWBTA quote:op: You're the type of person to just eat your roomates left overs without asking huh? And, my personal favorite: quote:I’m Native American and you just showed why this holiday is a joke. You are an rear end in a top hat. quote:op: You would make a horrible roommate why face your own sense of entitlement when you can just tantrum like a child and yell "ENTITLED" at everyone who disagrees with you

Wait what? There is no indication that the roommates are native. Unless  For the record, if the roommates are indeed entitled and rude,I think they should be invited but have to make food and/or help clean up, as any host would. OTOH it’s not clear if they’ve even indicated they WANT to attend, it’s entirely likely OP is obnoxious and tedious to the point where the roommates would avoid it altogether on their own.

My experience with tetanus is that it isn't the shot that's the problem, it's the major pain in the arm muscle for the next couple of days. Didn't have that problem with a measles booster, any flu shot, or the J&J vaccination. My Moderna booster (yay mix-and-match) did hurt for two days, although not to the extent of tetanus. Tiny needle, barely felt the shot, but the immune reaction was memorable.

I had a roommate who would throw big dinner parties. I was technically invited but I had very little interest in hanging out with a bunch of people I didn't know for several hours, so I would politely say hello, make myself a plate of food and retreat to my room like the weird hermit that I am. The bigger issue was that my roommate would use every pot in the house and stack the dishes high in the sink and all over the counters and then NOT TOUCH ANY OF THE MESS FOR AT LEAST TWO DAYS

United States Thanksgiving is a preservation of nationalist myths told to uphold White Supremacy, YTA for having a dinner at all unless you’re putting in the same amount of time/money/effort/etc into supporting those locally who are unjustly forced into poverty, especially if said peoples are Native Americans. I’m only being a tiny bit sarcastic. I do believe any modern Thanksgiving needs to reflect on the whys and hows of the day and I personally support it as a National Day of Mourning. As for the OP they’re not wrong, but they’re overthinking it. As a host they shouldn’t deny the roommates joining imo, but not for any holiday-specific reason.
