My handsome little kissboy jumps up on the table next to the door to put his head up for smooches every morning when my partner and I leave for work. We accidentally trained him to want kisses when he hears us pick up our keys.

AITA for giving a bigoted jerk a taste of his own medicine?quote:There’s this guy in my grade whom we can call “Paul”. We’re all in high school. Paul regularly goes around making racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, etc. comments. He’s probably discriminated against every single minority group that exists. He also happens to be Muslim. Nope. Never. Dudes who throw rocks need to be able to dodge them just as well. Stoop to their level and make them taste the curb. Violence, not rising above, is what bullies understand.

Wabbits, you say? AITA- My mom makes me care for a pet I’m allergic to quote:When I was in 4th grade, I got a pet rabbit for Christmas, his name is Coca. Funny thing is, we later realized I’m allergic to rabbits. I’m a sophomore in high school now and we still have Coca. He’s entirely my responsibility, I feed him, clean the cage, etc. the problem, whenever I clean the cage, my allergies go off. Not like sniffling a little, i get really itchy, normally I have to use my nebulizer because I can’t breathe. I kissed the top of his head a few weeks ago, and my lips swelled up double their size and didn’t go down until the following day. All on top of a runny nose and feeling lovely. I normally have to wear gloves and a mask, but it dosent help much. My moms gets mad at me for not taking him out of his cage ever, or putting off cleaning the rabbit cage as much as possible, but it’s because I always feel horrible after any interaction with him. I love him to death but I want to get rid of him because I can’t give him the love he deserves without making myself miserable. My mom dosent want to get rid of him though because she wants a farm and dreams of having rabbits, that would, most likely, be my responsibility to. I also, got upset at her for getting rid of a family dog(because she didn’t want to care for it) and yelled at her that I have actual reasons for wanting to get rid of Coca, not just because I’m a lazy *****. AITA for making an "insensitive" comment at work to a rabbit? quote:So I work for animal control, not an officer I just caretake the surrenders and arrests that come in. Recently we've had an influx of rabbits. I don't particularly like rabbits but I would never maliciously hurt one like I would never hurt any animal out of maliciousness. Not Wabbits, I say! I (30f) adopted my brother (14m) but he found out and wants to meet our father and sister quote:He was born my brother, but he's my son so I don't want to call him that. To make it simple I'll call him Jayden or son. 30m husband asked 26f me to have sex with his friend. He left me, is saying I cheated, and I'm pregnant. quote:This didn't work last time I posted it but hoping it does now as things have spiralled. UPDATE 30m husband asked 26f me to have sex with his friend. He left me, is saying I cheated, and I'm pregnant. quote:TLDR I want a divorce and full custody and husband wants neither but holds all of the power here. Good lord. I think this is pretty much the definition of gaslighting. Oh he forgives her for being sexually manipulated? What a piece of poo poo.

AITA for wanting to not do stuff against my religion at work?quote:I work at a coffee chain and ive been forced to handle foods against my faith. i figured the chain would be fine with me working there since they put 'diversity' and 'accomodation' above everything but me being the only religious minority means the higher ups have forced me into it.

Mormons can't technically drink coffee but they don't spontaneously combust if they touch it. I have a hard time imagining one could get through a single shift at a coffee shop if handling coffee was a deal breaker. I'll put my marker down for muslim, and problems with slinging bacon/egg/cheese breakfast foods.

AFAIK most dietary restrictions are on consuming the substance, not handling it. At worst it is considered unclean at you have to wash your hands afterwards, which you should be doing anyway.

I mean the real answer is they're not the rear end in a top hat for feeling uncomfortable and wishing they could do a different job and hopefully they'll be able to get one, because even if their religious codes allows for them to handle the food in a circumstance where they can't get another job I'm sure it feels mentally uncomfortable. Having worked in food service before unless they work at the all bacon product cafe there's plenty of other work they can do at almost literally every point in time to make up for someone else taking point on the bacon when someone orders it. It's just they're looking for external validation in a pretty lovely place for it and asking for it pretty badly. EDIT: At the same time yeah I don't think they're doing anything wrong by handling bacon, just if the question is 'am I the rear end in a top hat for feeling upset about this' the answer is no because it's... entirely subjective...?

I mean, it is pretty clearly haram for her to be selling Bacon products in the first place, so, uh, why is she even at that job. Handling schmandling, its the selling that is an issue* *This becomes a huge theological debate issue with say, dock workers and other people who work in transport industries.

PetraCore posted:Money is required to obtain goods and services. Sorry, I wasn't clear and tried to edit it in; her handling or not handling of the product isn't actually the problem her religion has in this case perse, its working at a business which sells the product. There is no actual accommodation to be made for her religion, her religion asks her not to participate in that expression of capitalism. Edit: Also to be clear, I'm not a scholar nor an imam, this is just the interpretation I'm most familiar with based on my upbringing.

Technically speaking, almost every religion in my experience is made up of loopholes you make or give yourself so that you can do what you want to do without feeling too bad about what your religion says you shouldn't. Yes, your job should be accommodating to you. But if your coworker was unable to do part of the job because of their religion, be it serve coffee, or handle pork products, I can't imagine many co-workers being understanding to that, and most managers certainly aren't going to be either.

Pork being gross is a cultural muslim thing, so I can see why one might get grossed out by handling it/smelling it/etc. Like, I wouldn't want to work in a place where I was slicing up baby seals or smell roasting dog and think "gently caress, that actually smells pretty good."

When it was time to give the kitten to me, daughter asked to come everyday to see kitten. I was like sure nothing wrong with that.

Wait, Mormons aren't allowed to drink coffee? Why not? Not trying to be mean about it, just the first time I've heard about that restriction, I think. An ex of mine has a grandmother who did this exact thing to her, except it was a pet chicken. She's *very confused* as to why her daughters don't want her coming around to see her grandkids.

Malachite_Dragon posted:Wait, Muslims aren't allowed to drink coffee? Why not? Not trying to be mean about it, just the first time I've heard about that restriction, I think. It’s Mormons who can’t drink coffee. The literal scripture is “hot drinks” but this was interpreted to mean caffeine and then after the 80s only coffee and tea regardless of temperature. Muslims invented coffee. The shop sells pork products which is odd because most coffee shops here just sell pastries and maybe some overpriced pre-packaged stuff.

There is a general proscription on intoxicants. Some muslims take this to be anything that alters your state, caffeine included, but its not a universal thing and obviously not a mainstream position since like, the 1500s

I thought it was a caffeine thing with Mormons, my understanding is they're pretty strict on any sort of 'mind-altering substance' no matter how normalized/mild, which can cause problems when someone has a legitimate mental disorder that needs medicating. I don't know if there's any official doctrine over taking psychiatric medication in case of serious medical need, but my suspicion is that psychiatric problems are considered something that needs to be prayed away even if there'd be understanding over someone needing to take, say, insulin. Hopefully that can shift in the future with more recognition of mental illness as potentially a physical problem and not a 'spiritual' one. EDIT: From googling around I also suspect it depends on specific like, sect and stuff, it sounds like mainstream Mormonism is understanding that some issues require prescribed medication to deal with whereas some stricter sects might... disagree.
