Alchenar posted:I don't think there's any reason to believe the collector did anything but act in good faith, but I am somewhat confused by the fact that OP is 'having to demand their money back' from fiancee and that this is apparently a problem. Just kidding, he pocketed it and bought some poo poo for himself, I bet.

Demanding the money seems like a bad idea. Demand your poo poo back. Taking the money could give him a case that he didn't really steal from you.

I think she wants the money back to get her stuff back from the collector who bought her stuff. Between "hey this was stolen" and "here's the cash you gave the thief for it" she's a lot more likely to get it back than if only one of those things happens. E: and it's better that she goes to get her poo poo back than the thief does because him doing it means trusting him with holding onto the poo poo she values for longer than is absolutely necessary.

We never had coasters at my home when I was a kid, but it’s not like I never ever came across the concept. I’m voting “brain broke by left Twitter”

If using foreign words is classist, what do the people in those countries use? And if it's ok for them, aren't we supposed to have international solidarity against the capitalists?

AITA for telling my family I didn't want to cook my recipes for them anymore?quote:I (27F) grew up in very classic "meat and potatoes" kind of family. They will *rarely* eat any sort of ethnic food besides very basic Italian food (we're an Italian family) and sometimes sweet and sour chicken. Dinner most nights consisted of meat (usually cooked within an inch of its life), mashed potatoes, and microwaved corn or peas & carrots. I grew up constantly being told I was an extremely picky eater. It took me a couple of years after moving out for college to realize this actually wasn't the case. Basically, I don't like microwaved/boiled vegetables (especially when they're unseasoned), I don't like my meat cooked dry, and I don't care for meatloaf. As a kid/teenager I didn't really love food/eating, but in college, I got to try so many new things and really fell in love with cooking. Eating a wide variety of foods became the norm for me. Best picky eater story ever.

Dr. Stab posted:There's this whole category of stories that are: One person sets an explicit boundary, second person agrees, then violates that boundary at the first opportunity, with the excuse of "but I really wanted to." Many, many of these stories (to the point of majority) are creative writing exercises done by young people. For better or worse they're tolerated in this thread for the sake of entertainment, I guess. I wouldn't despair about society too much based on the content of r/AITA throwaways.

AITA for kicking my mom out after she eavesdropped on my gf's conversation?quote:My (22m) girlfriend Nyla (21f) wanted to meet my mom after she had introduced me to her parents. I warned her my mom was a lot to deal with but she wanted to meet her anyways so we ended up inviting her for dinner. Nyla takes a while to get ready, like she usually starts getting ready 3 hours before events and still manages to have me hurrying her up at the last few moments. My mom has a habit of showing up early to things so I told Nyla to get ready early as well so she wouldn't be caught off guard. Imagine our surprise when my mom showed up nearly 2 hours early while we were both still half naked, blasting music, and the cooking wasn't done yet. Nyla still let her in with a smile and excused herself to finish up while my mom stayed with me in the kitchen. I asked her why she showed up so early and she said she just missed me. Tell me your mom is racist without telling me your mom is racist...

Hughlander posted:AITA for kicking my mom out after she eavesdropped on my gf's conversation? Okay, that. But also "mom, we told you X time, it's X-2, please come back at X. We're not ready yet." Also, girlfriend leaving for an extended period of time to talk on the phone the first time she's meeting the mother. The entire story is full of questionable decisions, especially around a judgy and boundary pushing mother. At least he grew a spine in the end. For now.

Also, you can get some discussion out of "I know someone like that" and the like, but "That's fake" either gets you "Ok" or situations where a reply of "I know someone like that" is automatically framed in an adversarial way. Causes petty sniping.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:Well that clears it up. From the story it sounded like she was just pushy and the rest of the family was loving with her, but she's the one trying to bring an rear end in a top hat into their lives. Absolutely, but they should've been upfront that it was "no +Ryan" rather than "no +1" and got the fight over with then though; as it was they were just asking for cop-gf to kick off when she realised there were other +1s there.

Foo Diddley posted:AITA for demanding my fiance pay me back for selling my train collection? What I don't get about these ones (even if they're stdh) is that the person who sells or throws away something sentimental, never calls or texts their SO first. These would 100% be resolved by sending a text saying, hey, is $X.00 a fair price for your train set? Like, I get that half the time the AH is just callously getting rid of something they don't like at the first opportunity, but it's just so obviously an AH move in a world where cell phones exist.

Foo Diddley posted:depending on how much the collection was worth, that could be grand theft. in peace, dipshit ex-fiance Model trains were ludicrously expensive when I was collecting them back in the early-to-mid-aughts and I can't imagine they've gotten any cheaper. The fact that it's big enough to even be described as a "collection" means it probably clears that threshold, doubly so if it's antique poo poo like American Flyer or whatever.

What the hell is with the cake smash poo poo at weddings? Aren't the cakes usually loving expensive? And people want to eat them? I mean it makes sense if you're that dude from the post who wanted a picnic in bed every time he and his wife had sex, but it just seems weird. But I've only been to a few weddings and there were no cake smashes.

"(Valerie smeared hers) I said just my opinion, but I think it indicates an emotionally abusive dynamic at the very least." You started the passive aggressive poo poo talking of the other's relationship first (over a really dumb thing at that). Maybe Valerie is a total bitch or whatever, but this sounds kind of like a mutual dance.

As people have been saying in the thread it's rarely smashing of any kind, and usually just a goofy little smear, which could be a dab on the nose or something messier. Like most extreme normal scenario you're looking at this.
