We both hated driving in Boston, ESPECIALLY the roundabouts, because the rule about who had right-of-way was reversed. The roundabouts here (northern California coast) have the correct solution, namely that cars in the roundabout have right-of-way and that cars merging in must yield.

AITA for telling my friend to treat her body hair?

quote:

A few days ago, I (F26) went out for lunch with three friends. Alaina (F26) is currently pregnant, I'm not sure how far in but her stomach is huge so I'd like to think she's in her mid to late third trimester. Hannah (F25) left to go to the bathroom when we were about to leave so Alaina got up and stretched her arms and her shirt lifted slightly to show a bit of her lower stomach. I'd happened to look over and noticed some stomach hair. Thankfully, it was pretty light so no one noticed. I thought I was seeing things so I asked her if she had any and she said yeah. I asked her why she didn't get rid of it and she said that it doesn't bother her and I told her that she should be thinking about her husband and how guys don't find that attractive.

Alaina said that Asra (her husband, M25) doesn't care but that honestly doesn't sound like him. Asra is 6'5" and about 200-210 lbs, he works out everyday and is very attractive and lean. I get that he's a sweet guy but there's no possible way he's allowing something like this. I told her that she already didn't put effort into her physical health (she's overweight: 5'1" and ~150 lbs before pregnancy and doesn't work out, only stretches) so the least she could do was clean up her body hair. Ava (F26) told me to "shut the f-ck up" and Alaina just started grabbing her things and fake crying and said she's happy with the way she is. I told her that her marriage won't last long if she keeps that mindset and that she should at least try to make herself look more physically attractive if she wants to compete with other woman who would easily attract Asra and try to stay even somewhat within his league. If Alaina hadn't snagged him in high school, I would have!

Ava told me to "mind my f-cking business" and that I was a "misogynistic" and "miserable" b-tch. I told her that the only reason she was defending Alaina is cause she's attracted to her and that women should put in effort to look nice for people. Ava just said that I was a bigoted "door-built" b-tch and started ignoring me when I tried defending myself. Hannah came back and said she had to leave urgently cause family emergency and started asking Alaina what was wrong and when I went to defend myself Ava dismissed me and told Hannah she'd tell her later and to ignore me. Hannah hugged Alaina and left in a hurry while Ava grabbed her and Alaina's things and left and ignored anything I said and Ava even pushed me away when I tried to get close to Alaina and said she'd "beat the sh-t out of me" if I tried some "sh-t like that" again.

Alaina and Ava blocked me on any form of contact I have with them now, Asra hasn't responded to any of my texts, and Hannah is questioning whether or not she wants to remain friends with me when she hasn't even heard my side I think that any body hair we have that isn't on our head should be removed because it's disgusting! I'm honestly looking out for Alaina's best interest so that she doesn't end up a single mom.

If they felt the need to bring it up over drinks later after I studiously ignored the condoms, yes I would think they�re a bit off.

By OP�s own omission, coworker is explicitly telling him to stfu about the condoms.

I'm getting real SA 2010 like vibes, that awkward stage where goons had started turning away from the high neckbeard era, but their method of doing so was to turn to intense self-loathing (usually projected at other goons rather than directly themselves of course).

AITA for firing my brother's girlfriend over phone

quote:

Throwaway

I (35F) am the owner of a coffee shop. Linda (23F) is one of my employees who joined six months ago. Four months ago, she met my older brother (37M) and they started dating. Ever since they started dating, Linda has been acting like she owns the place. She never comes on time, and treats my other employees rudely. Every time I scold Linda, I end up receiving a call from my brother telling me not to pester his girlfriend. Recently, I've had enough. She's been shirking her responsibilites lately. Even after the holiday period ended, she chose not to show up. I called her up today, and she told me that she didn't feel like coming in. I told her that I've had enough, and that I was finally going to fire her. I told her we only needed diligent employees here, and that she was clearly not one of them. Hours later, my brother stormed into my house, cursing and yelling at me for firing his girlfriend. My husband kicked him out of the house, and I was honestly so annoyed.

My parents think I'm the AH for firing my brother's girlfriend and for kicking my brother out of our house. AITA?

Update: I received a call from my brother, who is very pissed as Linda has dumped him. He says that had I not fired Linda, he wouldn't have gotten dumped. To a certain degree, that may be true. However, if I hadn't fired Linda, that would have only been disadvantageous for my coffee shop business. I think this makes things very clear now. LOL

AITA for refusing to pay my sister�s bill and giving her information to the restaurant after she ditched me?

quote:

This happened last night.

My sister and her BF recently moved to a town next to mine. I was excited as we�ll be able to see more of each other now. Nearby, there is a downtown center that has a lot of shopping, restaurants, galleries, etc. There is one upscale restaurant that both my husband and I love. A dinner for two will run you about $200-$250 so its not a place we frequently go to. My sister called me last week and invited us out to dinner with them at the restaurant last night. I reminded her it was an upscale place and to take a look at the menu beforehand because they are pricey and we can go somewhere else, tons of other great places. She said they still wanted to go. We hadn�t been there in a while so we accepted. Dinner was great!

At the end of the meal my sister excuses herself to the bathroom and when she doesn�t come back relatively soon her BF goes to find her. After a while, neither of them comes back. We go to check for them and they are gone. I call/text her and she texts back that they�ve left but �thanks for dinner, it was just as amazing as you said it would be�. I asked her what she meant but no response. I texted again asking if she really just stuck us with the bill and no response. I then texted that I never agreed to pay for them and that she had 30 minutes to come back to the restaurant or I�ll give the restaurant all her information and they will likely involve the police. No response. At the 30 minute mark I called/texted and got no response. So I stayed true to my word. I paid for mine and my husband's portion and gave all her information to the manager for their portion and then left.

The next day she called me back upset that she�s been getting calls from the restaurant asking her to come pay or they�ll contact the police. I said I�m not surprised since she skipped out on her bill. She said she thought I was paying the tab since I�ve paid for our dinners in the past (I have paid for her+me only dinners where the total tab was $60 max). I said this was obviously different than the other times we met for dinner (this was all four of us AND at an upscale restaurant) and I was not paying the $450 tab and she had to cover her portion. I reminded her that she invited us out and chose the restaurant. I specifically asked if she wanted to go somewhere else but she is the one who insisted on going to this restaurant. I ever agreed to pay for everyone. She then said she thought I�d just pay but when I asked the waiter for separate checks she realized I wasn�t and left for the bathroom planning to ditch. I said that since the restaurant hadn�t contacted the police yet, all she had to do was go in and pay and it would be settled. She didn�t want to do that because it would be too embarrassing and asked me to cover it. I again said no and that she had to take care of it.

Our family has gotten involved and I�m being pressured to just pay the bill. AITA if I don�t and let the restaurant call the police?

Clearly I will not be paying for anything ever again.

EDIT: Only answering a few questions a I'm seeing that I'm NTA and its only been less than an hour. This event really made me feel like a piggy bank and not a sister which is the most upsetting. -We are all early/mid-30s. -She's never really been this terrible BUT she has almost always found a way to bring my salary into conversations. For example the first time I met her BF, we were talking about cars as he just bought a brand new car. I said I'd like to get into a new car but that I can't afford it right now (true, I'm a saver and not a spender) and her response was 'You make xxx, you can definitely afford that car'. This event really made me feel like a piggy bank and not a sister which is the most upsetting.

There�s usually some good excuse for family to be unable to get involved due location or some other detail but they could literally pay for the sister with a single phone call. OP is seen as a cash cow.
