I know a lot of people think that having a job where you do nothing is awesome but for a lot of people having nothing to do all day is more stressful than having something useful to do. I've been in a situation similar to that once and it loving sucks and makes you feel like poo poo.

Why the hell isn't his boss giving him stuff to do related to the boss' previous day of work before the boss comes into work?? If OP is supposed to be his personal assistant but boss never gives him work what does the boss think is going on? It's absurd.

PetraCore posted:Yeah, and also having a job where your employer is giving you nothing to do but then wants to know what you've been doing is a pretty lovely situation. OP's very new to the field and when he's tried to bring it up he gets ignored, if I were him I'd be nervous about a more experienced and established lawyer trashing his reputation and claiming he was grifting money when for all intents and purposes OP wants work to do and is just being ignored. Plus it might be great in the short term but longer term he’s hosed because he’s not learning anything.

AITA for going to IKEA with my girlfriend and then refusing to pay half?quote:My girlfriend(23F) and I(24M) just moved in together yesterday. I moved into her apartment that she had shared with her roommate before I moved in. So the apartment was half furnished since her roommate took half of everything.

AITA I yelled at my husbandquote:My husband's best friend Ella called him asking him if he could meet her immediately while we were going to get groceries. My husband, Roger said that she sounded like she was crying and asked me if we could just stop by for a while to check in on Ella. I agreed. quote:I just felt uncomfortable seeing as she was hugging another man just a few hours after being dumped. I wouldn't be in the state of mind to tell to anyone let alone hug another guy if my husband divorced me

AITA for kicking my wife's family out after they flew down to stay with us for a few weeks? My wife (26f) and I (28m) got married last year in the midst of Covid and didn't have a wedding. Her family lives about 18hours away by car, and a flight costs about $450 round trip per person if you plan it right. Two months after the wedding, we found out we were expecting! Flash forward to now. Our beautiful daughter was born right after Christmas, and we're happier than we ever thought we could be. In-laws decide to come down and stay a few weeks to help us out while we transition into going back to work and find a babysitter as well. I'd never met them before this because of the distance and then the pandemic. We were both so excited to see them! Until they were finally here. From day 1, we've had problems with them. (mom, dad, two sisters) Things that have happened since they got here 6 days ago: -MIL threw out half of baby's brand new clothes because they "weren't her style" -FIL dug a hole in our garden and took a poo poo because the bathrooms were occupied. Twice. -Sister 1 ruined my wife's Christmas gift (I got her 6 liquid lipsticks she's been wanting for a while) by breaking all of the wand applicators and then trying to put the makeup on the baby. -Sister 2 ran away from our house 2 days in and we couldn't find her for almost 48 hours. Turns out she met someone online before coming and was staying at his house. (She's 19) there was a whole police investigation and everything. -MIL took $150 out of my wallet yesterday to "buy groceries" then left for 3 hours and came back with no groceries but her nails & hair are done -my wife found some dirty roaches in the bag of Sister 1 while doing laundry this morning. I've talked to the family after each incident and they laugh and blow it off as if it's something normal or to be expected. I mean no disrespect to anyone out there who lives in trailers. But this family is straight up trailer trash. I had the last straw when we found the dirty roaches because I cannot and will not have those in my house. So I asked them to find a cheap motel to stay in. Even offered to help pay for half of it. Now my wife is mad because I hurt their feelings and thinks I should give them another chance. I've given them multiple. She even told me that they weren't helping with the baby at all. AITA?

Invisible Clergy posted:In the comments on this non-throwaway account, he claims to live in a rural area in brazil. (Paraphrasing a synthesis of many of OP's comments doubling down and continuing to be a piece of poo poo) All he eats is pizza which he claims in brazil only comes in pre-fabricated "flavors" so he can't just order pizza with toppings he actually likes, and restaurants do not honor his request because (as he claims all brazilians do) he dines exclusively in illegal, non-licensed holes in the ground because the only alternatives are chain restaurants like mcdonald's or fine dining places which cost "1/5 minimum wage." Since the restaurants are unlicensed they also, he claims, do not respect allergies the same way first world restaurants do, when he says he "does not like" olives, he always gets them on his prefabricated supreme-like pizza, but when he says he "is allergic to" olives, apparently they pick them off sometimes, so even when trying to double down, he can't keep his story straight and he just enjoys annoying sub-minimum wage workers, like all allergy fakers. I mean if I've learned one thing from something awful it's that all Brazilian pizzas have olives on them.

I hate these stories because i know so many guys that have to ditch all their stuff when they move in with a woman, then when they split up, they have nothing. I mean why bother furnishing an apartment if you're just gonna throw all that poo poo away because your partner doesn't think it matches her aesthetic.

When I was a child I started telling people I was allergic to tomatoes because I hated the taste. I did it partly because I didn't really understand what allergic reactions even were and had some kid logic like "I hate tomatoes so much they kind of make me sick to my stomach. Maybe that's what 'allergic' is?" Later I learned better and just started saying that I didn't like tomatoes. Wild seeing grown rear end adults pull the same move I did when I was five.

therattle posted:Plus it might be great in the short term but longer term he’s hosed because he’s not learning anything. Absolute truth, the first full-time job I had as a legal secretary my boss spent all his time on his campaign for elected office and it sucked. Not that I had a great work ethic (which was hard to learn, but I learned it . . . at a later job), but I was basically set up to fail. It was years ago and I still resent it. limp_cheese posted:I feel like if she was half as close to the nanny as she claims she should have at least talked to her first before immediately going to the police and getting a restraining order. Regardless of that conversation they should get another nanny but I feel like this was an overreaction to finding a secret Instagram. There's always someone who thinks you should be nicer to the person/people who behaved appallingly, but they usually don't show up in this thread. Interesting. Splicer posted:My friend is very tall and when he went to Japan grown adult strangers would jump up to try to pat him on the head multiple times a day. This is just loving wholesome though.

incoherent posted:Has anyone notice the flood of "i aborted over my bf\partners objection" lately? I have not, but I'm getting sick of the "my MIL hates me and she is a crazy insane person who hates us". They usually have the following characteristics: - The MIL hates the OP, to an irrational extent, where they will even forego a relationship with their child (generally their son because the OP is usually a woman) - The MIL always has a boyfriend or husband who isn't the OP's partner's father (and this partner is usually a huge piece of poo poo too) - Either the MIL is rich, or her boyfriend/husband is rich, and she refuses to spend money on the OP and their family - Dress drama: Either the MIL wants to wear or did wear an inappropriate dress to the OP's wedding, or the MIL is getting married and the OP hates their wedding dress, and threats of destruction of the dress is mentioned often - If the OP has kids they hate the kids or just don't care about them, and they refuse to buy them anything or interact with the kids at all There are a couple different twists on this story (like the daughter will do something lovely to the MIL but try to say it's okay because MIL sucks), but there have been so many in the past few months that you know what the high notes will be before you even read them. Actual content instead of dumb nonsense (spoilering because I think it makes it funnier): AITA for telling my friend blind people can’t drive? quote:I’ve(F19) been friends with Sarah(F19) since the third grade. She used to lie A LOT and was constantly contradicting everything she said.

Skutter posted:I have not, but I'm getting sick of the "my MIL hates me and she is a crazy insane person who hates us". They usually have the following characteristics: Those stories are super fascinating to me, in a meta way. For a while last year there was at least 1 MIL story posted in the early morning hours. It was obviously written by the same person and had the same characteristics, like you said, but unless you had seen a lot of them it was just different enough that it could have been legit. It is just interesting how a person can take so much time writing iterations on the same story, with enough consistency that you can make a goddamn tropes list. I also find them hilarious in the Southpark Loch Ness Monster way, where I get tricked until I realize what they actually are halfway through. I kinda wonder if anyone has made a list of the frequent flyer stories in AITA and Relationship_Advice.
