AITA for having a drink at the work Christmas party?quote:I (24M) just finished my bachelors' in industrial engineering and landed my first job at a firm making ~$120K. It's a good job, but a bit boring. My boss Ted (42M) is pretty cool, but the rest of the firm is in their 50s and 60s, and rather stuffy.

Its noon on a Monday why are you getting drunk with people you don't like? Why did you think an office party at noon on a Monday was going to be anything but dry? I'm so confused and annoyed.

I also would not get drunk with people whose company I dislike, but I can easily understand someone else's reason for doing so. And I'm guessing the dinner was on noon at monday because monday morning was the last day of work before breaking for Christmas. This year's Christmas dinner would have been on a tuesday at 2PM at my work, because we had the rest of the week off, and while it's officially just a nice lunch it is fully expected that everyone will get as drunk and hang out for as long as they like. I mean OP and his boss are idiots for thinking water glasses filled with Everclear are ever a good idea, and polishing off a whole bottle of wine on a bathroom break isn't too hot either. There's a lot of stupid in this story but it is entirely on OP and his confederates.

Bottom line of professionalism as once related to me: you can drink while on duty, but you cannot be drunk while on duty. Sometimes it's okay to break a dumb rule, but if you get caught then by definition you weren't sensible while breaking that rule.

I can only speak from personal experience. But my work Christmas parties usually involve the people who are off the clock getting hammered, and the people who are on the clock sitting around awkwardly during the gift exchange before getting back to their job. This year I was working and couldn’t drink but our boss cooked some good food by herself and I sat next to an off the clock employee who doesn’t drink and so we had an equally frustrating time. I got an air fryer and gave it to somebody else because I didn’t want it

Lots of people hate their jobs and see the office Christmas party as a way to out frustrations passive aggressively with the thin excuse to drink on company time. No one in this story is smart but I understand the emotional motivation.

AITA for refusing to clean the cat-litter box? quote:So my mom (42) has asked me (nb18) to clean the litter box many times now, and for the last few times I’ve blatantly refused to do so. We have 8 cats and only 2 litter boxes. Aka, they are constantly filled with cat pee etc. I came home after a few days and once again she asked me to clean the litter box, this time blaming it on the fact that she doesn’t have the time to do it herself. Mind you, I have 3 siblings and a dad who works from home half the time. I also have to do a bunch of other chores, even though I don’t actually live there anymore. I moved out a month or so ago, and I have to travel 2 hours to get from my house to theirs. Yet she keeps asking me to do the chores she gave me before. In comments OP says they moved out in November but keep coming back because the parents would live in a landfill otherwise. I used to have a neighbor who was good save one thing, which I found out when I house-sat for her: she had 10-12 cats. And instead of litter boxes, she had two of those large wading plastic pools filled with litter. Each one had to be cleaned multiple times a day. The house reeked of cat piss, and the cats were horribly behaved (I say this even as I have several cats that are assholes) to the point if you left any food, any kind, out, they'd shred the bag and leave poo poo all over. I can't imagine in that post where else the cats are pissing. Cowslips Warren fucked around with this message at 14:21 on Dec 31, 2021 |

"My family says it's my fault he is in trouble since I brought the Scarpetta (gateway drug)" His family is either full of morons or they just straight up don't like him and are happily seizing the thinnest excuse to berate him. Yeah sure, his manager brought a whole bottle of vodka to a party just to admire the design of the bottle until the wicked OP tempted him and lead him into sin with his cheap wine. Why the gently caress would they go out of their way to defend the manager over their family member when the manager is a grown man who took responsibility for himself?

Honestly I'd be willing to bet that the party is noon on a Monday as a desperate last resort to try to have a party without the raging alcoholics that make up most of the company getting shitfaced and making a scene. (I wonder when we'll reach the point in the drinking derail where some goon will wander in and tell us that downing a 12oz glass of straight Everclear at a work lunch is good and normal and why does everyone always fly off the handle and start flinging hyperboles about alcoholism)

Nothing could prove that is more authentic than the comment about hating the pride flag. That's classic gay, right there. There's a common joke about 'remaking' the various flags to be more accurately representative of being queer, ya know, with dinosaurs and lasers and poo poo.

AITA for setting a glitter trap to catch my mother in law trying to snoop?quote:For some weird reason my MIL really wants to go into our bedroom whenever she comes over. On one occasion I followed her as she went upstairs (i was going to get something for my child as the bedrooms are upstairs) and she walked past the bathroom on the main floor and up the stairs behind it. She didn’t hear me and I caught her walking straight into my room and rifling through bills on my dresser. She denied snooping (even though I’d just watched her do it) and said she was just going to use our bathroom because she couldn’t find the other ones. She walked right past the one on the main floor and another one in the upstairs hallway to go into our bedroom. Since that happened, I installed an exterior doorknob that requires a key on our bedroom door and one on the door to our office/spare bedroom.

Yeah, if this were me on the story, I'd feel like I hit a real life low, sneaking drinks in the space designed for making GBS threads. Like goddamn. Booze isn't even illegal it just requires proper context to be appropriate, so if you're breaking that far out of context just to knock it back, you have a problem.

Guildenstern Mother posted:Why the hell did Ted have a bottle of everclear Ted is an alcoholic and bad at hiding it. OP is young and foolish enough to still believe that smuggling booze into work to day drink makes Ted fun instead of a loser which is why he refers to him as "sort of cool" and the other (sober) workers as "uptight". There is a separate issue happening whereby OP has no frame of reference for industry Xmas parties (this is a common issue for young professionals). When his much older colleagues say "we had a really wild time" he naturally hears it as "we all got super drunk and ended up coked-out in a strip bar at 4am" because that's what he and his friends think is a wild time. Unfortunately these people are above thirty, so what they actually mean is "we all had three glasses of wine, a senior partner told a blue joke, and some of us stayed out till nearly 11!!"

The stories where the couple's problem is that they're sexually incompatible but the OP goes on and on about how perfect and happy their relationship is always get to me. That's uh...kind of a big glaring not-perfect element in your relationship that kind of needs to be addressed.

I like the glitter bc every time the mom sees it in her car she's gonna remember again and get embarrassed and incensed so lol on her My question is, has the husband now agreed his mom is never gonna stop this poo poo and take it seriously with the doors, or will she eventually just get glitter-bombed every visit? Will they just resign themselves to mom sparkling like a disco ball as her natural state?
