I had a chronically late friend and it was just another manifestation of his short man syndrome. When people would call him out for it he would just smirk and say "sorry bout 'cha".mind the walrus posted:Passive-aggressive moaning and then ditching her is some real "Middle School/I'm a Sigma Male" horseshit. It ain't gonna solve her tendency to be late. All it's going to do is make it "him vs her" instead of "us vs the problem." Actually it's a case of "when someone shows you who they are, believe them." Same as being lovely to service workers.

I knew a dude who would show up at a house an hour before a D&D game and just drink Powerade after Powerade from a case of 24 he'd bring. No one was entirely sure what grape vine he kept catching wind of the games from, probably my one friend who can't stand conflict and holds onto every weirdo he's ever met.

The chronically tardy have come up in these threads a lot, along with their variants of the 'hurry up and wait' types, and mostly boomer parents who tell the kids to pack up and get ready to go and then spend an hour talking in the doorway and another one standing by the car while you sit around bored and frustrated. It's a narcissist trait, and should be met with crushing consequences ASAP.

Mx. posted:AITA for asking my parents to reimburse me for the money I wasted getting a diagnosis I already had, because they withheld my medical information from me? Oh I'm not capable of understanding? Is that because I didn't have therapeutic support and medicine during my formative years that may have enabled me to do so? Gee, I wonder why that is? Family thinks the OP is too autistic to get the social cues, but not autistic enough to get any help for it apparently.

Blastedhellscape posted:On a side note I knew someone who was chronically *early* a lot, and that was way more stressful than people showing up a little late. I think it was some sort of obnoxious power-move thing, showing up at my house up to forty minutes earlier than we'd agreed on. This is the same thing, and also insanely aggravating. Like if you check in first maybe but just showing up?

WIBTA if I told my husband his mother is not allowed to be alone with our daughter and demanded we limit time with her?quote:My mother in law is obsessed with health and fitness and keeping slim. She bragged all the time how her newborn daughter didn’t gain any weight for the first month. How she didn’t nurse her hungry babies from 12 to 6 AM. She used to bake a cake or a tray of cookies and tell them it’s not all for them to stop them from eating too much which I find strange. When she visited us two months ago, she made plenty of remarks on our daughter’s weight and the quantity she eats. I pushed back very hard when she tried to limit her food intake, I said she’s a 10 months old baby and she stops eating when she’s full and not when we think she’s full. it's the *JOB* of a 10 month old to look chubby for christ sakes.

If its only a 2 door then the person who needs to get out first sits in the front and the gf is being lovely.. If its 4 then gf has somewhat of a leg to stand on.

Doesn't even have to be an open door. Still gonna go through it face first

My [27M] wife [27F], a PhD biologist, is unvaccinated and hospitalized with COVID-19. Now she won't talk to me about anything besides ivermectin.quote:My wife of 6 months is a big fan of certain podcasts that have influenced her thinking on this matter. She also claims to understand the science and see obvious holes in the data. At first I listened to her because I thought she knew best, but it became clear to me over time that she was wrong and I got my 2nd shot 2 months ago in spite of her begging me not to, claiming I might be sterilized by it.

AITA for having my medication laying around?quote:I (f, 18) got diagnosed with ADHD a couple months ago and of course I then got on meds. I am also on a couple other meds since I currently have the flu. I usually keep them on the counter in my bathroom (most of the time the bathroom is locked since I have a little brother (5), who likes to eat everything he finds). I got out of surgery a few days ago and I'm just lying here staring at the boxes of painkillers on my table tbh Murder cousin, murder aunt
