Soylent Pudding posted:AITA for how I reacted to my fiancé surprising me with “our” dream house? I would also be questioning things if my fiance bought a house without including me in any part of the process. If he made a purchase like that once whats stopping him from buying her a car without telling her? Maybe she comes home one day and finds she is now the owner of a litter of puppies. They need to have a serious conversation about being partners because I get the sense he sees her as an accessroy. Edit:  says her name isn't on the deed and if she asks to be he'll say "Don't worry about it. Besides, I paid for it so its only fair my name is the only one on the deed."If her name is on the deed comedy option is she turns around and sells the house without telling him. If he gets pissed she needs to tell him she was trying to surprise him with hundreds of thousands of dollars! Isn't hat awesome?! Wait, why are you upset? limp_cheese fucked around with this message at 22:48 on Jan 27, 2022 |

AITA for not driving 12miles to deliver food after knowing the customer purposely put wrong address?!quote:Besides my regular job I do a part time delivery job (doordash). This morning around 11 I get this order 2.7 miles for 6$. When I arrived there the lady who opened the door said she didn't order the food. I show her the address. She says ,"The address is correct but I didn't order this. That's not my name. I don't know anyone by this name either." I text the customers number. No response. I was waiting on line to talk to someone from dasher support when I get this text from the customer saying I'm at the wrong address. Sends new address I look it up and it's 12 miles from where I was. So I text her I'm not going 12 more miles for 6$. If I knew she lived that far I'd never have accepted the order. I offer to bring it back to chick fil a so she can come pick it up.She then calls me saying I have to deliver it to her house because she already paid for the food. Her kids are waiting for lunch. It's not fair to them. I ask why she didn't check the address before confirming her order. She says she put the wrong address on purpose because delivery fee was too much. At this point I knew she was a scammer so I tell her I'm delivering it to the address that's on my app and she can talk to customer service about her order. I dropped it off at the address on my app and completed the order. Now she's blowing up my phone with mean texts from multiple numbers saying I'm an rear end in a top hat and I stole her food. Then she tried to leave negative review after contacting customer service but doordash removed it. I think she got what she deserved but I'm also feeling bad for the kids. AITA here?

AITA for setting boundaries with my first babyquote:Me (26F) and hubby (30m) are having our first child. I have decided to set boundaries for when the baby gets here because of covid and my own anxieties. The boundaries are as follows: no coming over unannounced (I would just like to be called or texted first) no kissing the baby ( we are still in covid and rsv is real) and no posting pictures of the baby until we are comfortable with it and the last one is absolutly no bath time pictures or any pictures exposing baby's genitles. My hubby's mom is furious with my boundaries and says I need to be willing to compromise because this is HER grand child. Any time I say anything about the baby in front of her she reminds me that this is HER grandchild. She was even telling us that she hated the name we picked out for baby and was trying to force us to chose her name she had picked out. Then she told hubby that this is his baby and he can over ride me and that I need to be put in my place. These rules are for everyone not just her like she seems to think. AITA?

People really need to get with the idea that it's ok to end a relationship, even a good one, if it means not having to spend the next several decades dealing with lovely inlaws. I don't care if it's been 15 years of happiness, if your mom is acting like I'm 10 in my own goddamn house or w/e, either cut them off or I'm out. There is nothing worth putting up with poo poo like that from supposed adults.

Zulily Zoetrope posted:He started the affair because the wife was medically unable to have sex for a while. The kinks materially do not matter because they were just a post facto rationalization, and if he ever brought them up with his wife there’s a risk she’d be okay with them and thus wreck his rationale and force him to confront his guilt. Y’know at least until he comes up with a new rationalization. My dad cheated on my mom on and off for their entire marriage, which ended after 20 years because his current affair partner wanted to get married. So they did. Broke up two families but hey, they got what they wanted. Some years later, karma got them: on one of their many vacations, my stepmom got sick. Some virus that still has her super fatigued and wiped out. During the year or so she barely left bed, my dad, such a gentleman, called my mom up to complain he hadn't had sex in a year. And wondered what things might have been like had they stayed married. Such a charmer. I wonder if stepmom ever knew about that call.

Piell posted:AITA for setting boundaries with my first baby I'm going to brighten up my evening by pretending this is a post about feeling nervous about the encroaching, grabby, boundary-stomping baby on the way. 1. No crying during quiet hours of enjoyment as defined by local by-law and subject to residential association rules PROVIDED that said rules cannot be used to REDUCE the hours stipulated by said by-laws 2. Maternal parent is a distinct entity. I, [baby], hereby acknowledge her personhood and disclaim any rights, control and power over her. Maternal parent's body is her own body. 3. Nourishment will be provided timely and in medically recommended quantity and quality SUBJECT to appropriate behavior from recipient [baby], understood to exclude any and all anxiety-provoking, unreasonable, painful, hurtful, traumatic, triggering, gaslighting, perverse, obtuse, disingenuous, and infuriatingly mysterious actions. 4. [baby] will make a good-faith effort and take all reasonable precautions not to convey false, invidious, injurious, or hurtful impressions of maternal and paternal parent and their parenting to any other individuals, agencies, corporate entities or state representatives. Such good faith efforts and reasonable precautions shall include, but are not limited to, smiling at strangers, not clinging to visiting relatives like a beaten capuchin monkey, going to sleep in and on a variety of locations and surfaces when under observation, feeding under observation without complaint or refusal, and never timing bursts of howling with being handed back to a parent. And so on.

I can understand not inviting people with kids or single people to your wedding if that's who you are, but if you're inviting a person to you're wedding then you know them well enough to know if they have kids and/or their relationship status. If you ask them to come at all you're automatically inviting their kids or girlfriends by default. *With exception for infants, because so many parent don't understand the whole "What the gently caress is wrong with you, bringing an infant to a wedding?" thing.

If you ask them to come at all you're automatically inviting their kids or girlfriends by default. That's why they added the "No +1/no kids". Because they knew people might have kids or girlfriends and were not inviting them. It was not default. They added a modifier. Also: I don't get it!  It isn't complicated. They said "no kids/+1." They meant no kids/+1. Just because they didn't put up a fuss when you did it anyway doesn't mean it wasn't irritating to them and that you aren't an rear end for it. It means you successfully weaponized decorum.

I’m genuinely curious because a lot of people seem to think that you should never bring a baby on a plane or that when a baby cries on the plane it is the parents being inconsiderate to fellow passengers. Sometimes you have to bring the kid. Babies mostly cry on takeoff and landing, because their ears hurt from the pressure difference, and if you just let them cry their ears will pop and it will be over sooner.

AITA for bluntly telling a woman it’s dangerous to put essential oils in sensitive areas?quote:My uncle’s new girlfriend came to family dinner the other night and it was the first time anyone in my family met her. She is super into essential oils which is very eyeroll inducing for me but I didn’t say anything about it or show that I found it annoying at first. I bit my tongue while she went on about putting them in her water (you should not be ingesting essential oils) and rubbing them on pressure points and trying to convince my mom to buy some. quote:Also thoughts and prayers to the few people in the comments saying they put tea tree oil and yogurt (??) in their vaginas lmao

An oldie, but glorious I (28M) cosplayed and LARPed as Naruto to prove a point, now my girlfriend (25F) is pissed. Can this be saved? quote:My girlfriend (25F) and I (28M) have been together for five years now. She has always been highly into Dungeons and Dragons, Lord of the Rings, and high fantasy content in general. I am into it somewhat and enjoy indulging her hobbies, but am mostly an anime fan. On the other hand, she has no interest in indulging in my hobbies. While I play D&D with her, partake in a yearly LoTR movie marathon with her, and go to the renaissance festival three times a year with her, she has no interest in even trying to watch anime with me, going to conventions, etc. She honestly thinks anime is pretty cringy and would rather just let me partake in it by myself. That's fine, whatever.

Also the parents used the fact that kids under 4 or 2 or whatever didn't need to have masks as an excuse to also not wear masks. I can’t tell if this is supposed to be an argument against infants traveling or not. If you decided to travel internationally during a pandemic, presumably you had a good reason to do so. I’d imagine those parents also had a good reason to be taking kids on an airplane, because as a parent I can’t think of many things that are a more miserable experience than trying to shepherd my kids through an airport and then trying to keep them occupied and mostly quiet for several hours.

Metis of the Hallways posted:So she can't change her mind, is what you're saying? Change your mind all you want. Sometimes it makes you an rear end in a top hat to do so, especially when it relates to something you had already promised. If she cared so much about the name thing, the proper time to bring it up would have been when she agreed to do something that was important to him. To me it is petty nonsense that doesn't matter, but one person's trivial nonsense is another person's ENTIRE MEANING, like when idiot spouses chuck heirlooms in the trash because of course a stupid ratty blanket doesn't matter at all despite their spouse specifically telling them not to throw it away.

Absurd Alhazred posted:First, it shows that your statement about when babies cry on planes is false, and it also shows that parents repeatedly show poor judgment about the safety of their children and those around them. Maybe those two are connected. Are you a parent? I said mostly, and that has been my experience with both my kids and observing other people’s kids on flights. I don’t know how safety comes into it though because we aren’t really discussing safety, we are discussing if it’s a bad thing to bring kids on flights. Buy you sound like the typical adult male westerner that begrudges children their existence as soon as it becomes annoying or inconvenient to you personally. Children exist, and sometimes they cry. They are members of society and deserve to exist and occupy spaces in the same way that you do. The mindset that they don’t belong on public transportation is really lovely.

So if I'm reading this right they're not processing payroll for 29 people who have nothing to do with this just to spite one dick at the organization In this case yes the rear end in a top hat. If it was something like they didn't turn in some form they needed to it's still kind of a dumb dick move but it doesn't necessarily hurt people who aren't involved in this petty feud
