kinda seems like people just really wanna brag about not having ranch dressing for salad and maple syrup for crepes? like of course you're not an rear end in a top hat for not having ranch dressing and oh wow you're so cultured. aita for not having cable? aita for spending 6 hours crafting an artisanal sandwich spread but not having mayonnaise?

Not to say that there isn't a bit of "oh boy, I can say it now" glee going on here, but I do think some context might missing sometimes.

Probating people for "oval office" caused no small amount of drama as the UK/Aussies were pointing out it has the same context in their culture as "bitch" in the US, so probing one and not the other was a wildly US-centric viewpoint and hypocritical as gently caress. Then of course, there was the people getting probed for calling French people "frogs"

AITA for buying a door to my son behind my husband's back?quote:
AITA for letting my parents buy me a wedding ring if my husband doesn't? quote:My husband and I are coming up on our one year wedding anniversary. My parents know that I have always been a bit sad about not getting an engagement or wedding ring due to limited finances (my husband doesn't work or seem interested in changing that long term - sometimes he goes to a job for a day or 2 then says he doesn't like it and would rather stay home, and I don't want to spend money on a ring when we have only my income and don't even have an emergency fund). quote:I'm not ok with it but I love him so I have to accept him how he is. Though before we got married he seemed to have much more of a work ethic than he does now since he was proactively applying to jobs and now he barely does and just goes for 1 day so I didn't have the full picture of what married life would be like.

quote:When I told my husband he said I am disrespecting him because it would be emasculating for me to wear a ring that he didn't buy and that it would make him look like he can't provide for his wife. but... but you don't provide for your wife. she provides for you. you are a gigantic pissbaby.

This was in response to at least three people wasting no time in playing “Guess the Slur” after the OP of the little person story wasn’t specific. There was no cultural misunderstanding, give me a loving break.

Piell posted:AITA for letting my parents buy me a wedding ring if my husband doesn't? These are bad parents for enabling the lovely husband’s behavior. They should be sitting their daughter down and talking her out of her sinkhole of a marriage, not burning money on it. Edit: I read through the comments and the situation is worse than it reads. She’s pregnant and thinks her dead weight husband will be a good SAHD. A guy who doesn’t know how to cook and cleans “sometimes.” Dazerbeams fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Dec 18, 2021 |

objectively, being the stay-at-home parent of a small child is a shitton of work, especially if you're also doing all the housework. it's rewarding work that's well worth it, but you're still going to find yourself collapsing exhausted into bed at 2 AM, only to have to get back up fifteen minutes later because your little bastard is crying again. also, just because you enjoy something doesn't mean it isn't difficult.

Like plenty of people in the US still being unaware that Romani people actually exist, much less how much of the general lexicon comes from slurs used against them.

Piell posted:AITA for buying a door to my son behind my husband's back? The dad should start listening to the last verse of Cats in the Cradle a lot now because once his son's gone he's going to have to come to terms with the fact that he never sees/speaks with him ever. Even then he's still going to blame the kid and never realize that he's the author of his own misfortune Unless he dies of cancer of the prick before then. That would be nice.

For example, there's a panel in that famous mental load comic where a man is enjoying a movie next to his partner who's pretending to watch it, I assume through gritted teeth, while rehashing and rearranging her neverending backlog of tasks at the back of her mind. It's meant to emphasise the mental project management load women are carrying in relationships, but it also misses the mark about self care and priorities.

Mr. Lobe posted:Never heard the term jobsworth, going to remember that one It’s used in the UK a lot, the idea is that you’d ask someone to do just a little favour like let you come in even though you’ve forgotten your pass but they know you and they’d refuse saying “Sorry mate, it’s more than my jobs worth to do that…” Someone who’s an absolute stickler for the rules but not necessarily what they’re meant to achieve.

AITA for calling out a sexist tradition at my work when everyone thought I was overreacting?quote:I work in an industry where it is really common or people to date or marry within the industry. We've had three couples get married within the past five years, and there is lots of relationship drama in general, which I find exhausting and to be honest, I wish people would just date outside work.
