AITA for telling all my friends they have to move out now that I’m pregnant?quote:4 years ago my parents passed away in an accident. They left me everything including their 4 bedroom house that was almost completely paid off. At the time I was young and not financially responsible enough to pay off the full mortgage on my own so I let my then BF(now husband) and our friends and their partners move in. With 8 people paying rent we paid the rest of the mortgage off pretty quickly since we paid almost double the payment each month.

The solution to this problem if firing the roommate into the sun is for some reason impossible is to make the filth goblin get his own fridge to store garbage in.

AITA for explaining to my father and siblings the origin of the medical terms they use in front of me?quote:My father and siblings are all doctors. I’m the only one who’s opposite; I’m more interested in languages and literature. Because I know a minuscule amount of Ancient Greek and Latin, I’m sometimes able to spot the influences of those languages on the medical terms they use when they have conversations regarding patients or diseases. I connect the dots in my mind and explain to them the origin of the word and how it relates to the meaning of the medical term itself. comment posted:Nah. Although, what you are doing sounds annoying if it is uncalled for, which it sounds like it is. OP posted:I will admit it’s always uncalled for, but I can’t control myself.

drat I love stories with a happy ending! AITA for making my girlfriend pump her own gas? quote:Since me(28m) and my girlfriend(27f) started dating, any time she drove and had to get gas I would pump it for her. Well last week she took me to work because her car does better in the snow than mine. When she came to pick me up from work she was wearing pajamas which were shorts with a long sleeve button up, she even wore her house shoes. I was embarrassed for my coworkers to see her like that so when she stopped for gas to teach her a lesson I told her my back was sore and she could pump it. She said it was too cold and she wanted me to do it. She’s the moron that wore shorts. I stood my ground, she pumped her own gas, but wouldn’t talk to me during the drive. We pass a sushi place on our way home so I asked her to stop, she said no but I kept persisting and she finally said okay. She told me I would have to run in so I did, when I came out she had left. I told my brother because I needed a ride home, he gave me a ride home but said I was an rear end and I deserved it.

"I mean when everyone moved in I told them it wasn’t permanent but at the time I didn’t even plan to keep the house. There is no lease with my friends. And my name is the only one on any of the paperwork for the house and bills like water and electric." The amount of people in the comments going 'gently caress six months, evict them now' are unnecessarily cruel. Goddamn. We're inside an endless pentatonicks, for crying out loud.

Solenna posted:I feel like the "we're having a baby!!" and the "you need to leave" conversations should probably not be held on the same night. Let your friends process things a little bit and then bring it up with each couple that you've been thinking about it and want this next stage of your life to only have you and your husband and the new baby at home. Or something. Anything even a little tactful. Especially since with that news, those of them with any sense are probably going to be making plans to leave on their own accord.

Nah, I mean it seems like something that they’d instantly connect the dots on anyway, because what kind of crazy people want to live in a house with a newborn baby that’s not theirs? Also I think their problem is the $250 for rent, I’m guess that’s per month so probably a pretty good deal

The part where op mentions "They started talking about how much they would help with the baby and how much fun it was going to be to have a kid around", it seems pretty clear that the friends were expecting this kind of communal living situation to carry on in perpetuity. I know several people who had similar living situations where a friend group shared a large house, in different groups and different houses. One thing they all had in common was that there always seemed to be at least a couple of folks in the groups who honestly thought that the situation would be (or could be) permanent and that they could live like that for the next 40-60 years. There were also a large number of them who maybe didn't think that explicitly, but also never planned for what would be next and ended up having a rough go of it once someone married or moved out of state or had some other major life change that meant the group situation was no longer sustainable.

Seth Pecksniff posted:How the hell do you use a slur and then turn around and say "oh didn't mean it like that!" Even better, it was *uses slur* "No, I didn't mean it like that, I just used the slur as a shorthand for *racist stereotype usually associated with the group the slur was directed against*!" Like that wouldn't make it even worse? (I was trying to find a suitable white-person equivalent to use here, but unfortunately all of those are actually based on people's actions instead of lovely stereotypes, so using Karen or TERF doesn't work. Weirdest thing, huh?)

I hope I'm not being all  , but we did sort of evolve to function as tribes, so it's not surprising that some people would enjoy that situation.

And once more, obviously, it describes actual actions, not false stereotypes.

Do... do you guys not have collectives? When one person/couple moves out, another moves in. If it's one with space for kids, you always have a babysitter if you need one, and all the hand-me-downs you could want. Basically everyone I know either lives with a partner and kids, or in a collective. Not that OP in that post should do that; eight people in a four-bedroom house does not leave room for kids, but it's very much a thing when people actually plan for it.

AITA, my girlfriend has a demon dogquote:my girlfriend 27f has a dog. i am 30m and before we get into it, this dog is ridiculously well trained. it sits, stays, rolls over, you name it and also knows commands in both english and her native lithuanian (tiny country in europe, she is fully american and english is her first language). it isnt destructive or dirty, she takes him to the groomer regularly. sometimes i doubt its a dog. the problem is that he's always around. my girlfriend works from home so she's constantly with him and she refuses to go out for longer than a few hours without finding him a "sitter" like he's a human child. when she's working he'll just sit or lay under her desk and she'll occasionally reward him with affection or the last bite of whatever she's eating just for sitting there. when she sleeps, he either sleeps right against her legs or under her arm. if she gets up, he follows her. out of the house too, and he never wants to give up shotgun, she has to order him into the back of the car and buckle him into his seatbelt! a dog seatbelt! he will also just leap into her arms while she's lounging and snuggle into her. this is not a small dog, he's literally half the size of her but she isnt bothered at all.

The OP is very bad a structuring the post. The post is meant to be: this dog hates me and is looking at me like a threat non stop, also it's well trained so obviously she could make him be more accepting of me. But the way it's written is: Listen to me describe my GF's super cool amazing and well trained dog. oh and it wants to kill me. So anyway this cool dog my GF loves, why doesn't she make him like me or get rid of it or something.

I've only been dating this girl for 6 months and I don't even live with her why doesn't her dog accept me? It just stares at me and who knows what it's thinking. She should just get rid of it. Edit: it's a dog, keep some small treats in your pocket and give it one every time you see it and it'll be your best friend in a day or two.

There does seem to be a theme of arseholes who think that their significant other might just get rid of a beloved animal if it's at all inconvenient to them. I also noticed a theme in posts from the other side of the dispute where pressing the issue of "it's me or the animal" has not gone so well for the person that underestimated their partner's affection for their pre-existing pet. Reminds me of when my last dog had cancer and my partner wanted the day off so we could take him for a biopsy - her manager said no, as though that was going to make any difference.

Terribly sorry to 'do a Kramer' as you USAtanians say. Does anyone remember when that redditor bought an account to take credit for writing a lot of the really controversial/ridiculous stories here? Had a link to his creative writing site and stuff. I think dog heelies was one at least but there were others, some that were thread favorites. I'm trying to find the posts but i think it could have been over 6 months ago, in a previous thread incarnation. Anyone remember what I'm talking about, when more exactly it was, or the guys username? Thank you!
