When I came home from work on Monday (today's Thursday) my wife said she took away my TV, sure enough it was gone. I looked everywhere for it but we have a modest 3 bedroom house, so who knows where it is now.

either she has a hidden storage unit that he's not aware of or she sold it.

AITA for ruining my wife's work and eating the food before she could take pictures of it?

quote:

My wife runs a website dedicated for cooking and recipes. She takes pictures of food before we eat wether it's lunch or dinner and post them on her insta account. to be honest, I'm annoyed by having to wait so long for her to "get the perfeft shot" of the food after decorating it, adding this fork and removing that salad dish. It just takes so long and I lose my appetite from just waiting til she's done. This has become the norm but yesterday, I decided I was having none of it.

I came to found that she has cooked an entire feast as her "next cooking project" and put it on the table. Note that by lokking at the whole table setting, I figured pictures had already been taken, right? but no, she said she was gOiNg to take few pictures and I had to wait. She went upstairs to get her camera that's when I grabbed the spoon and started filling my plate from every dish she's made and "ruining" the look as a result. I was hungry and unwilling to wait around for 10+ to eat.

She came downstairs, saw the "damage" and blew up almost crying saying I just ruined her cooking project that she worked hours for as well as putting efforts into. I said I was hungry and couldn't wait but she kept yelling how much of an obnoxious jerk I was for not waiting til dhe took pictures of the dishes she made, Even said that this was an AttEmPt of me to "Sabotage" her success. I said "oh please enough with those conspiracy theories, I'm just hungry and couldn't wait til she got the perfect shot". We had a big argument and shewent upstairs crying. I finished my food then went out to cool off a bit.

When I returned she'd threatened that she'll never have me eat anything she cooks and said she'd rather throw it in the garbage then give it to a ungrateful, obnoxious jerk like me. I said this wasn't cool but she told me to go gently caress myself. I said fine then went to spend the night in the guests room. she texted me the word "jerk" about 15 times til I turned my phone off.

Today she has gone complete radio silence. AITA?

Sorry, I should have clarified that while this could be a bait-post, if it's real the morally correct judgment is that the wife is indeed a jerk and deserved a low level of retaliation. So no real disagreement.

This is another one that you just have to feel is creative writing, it's just too funny.

If it's real I just love the image of someone able to act like this much of a jerk, but somehow have enough self reflection to post in it all its glory on a moral judgment site and not expect a blanket-party.

I broke up with my bf over his family being inappropriate and him being okay with it. Now he is blowing up my phone.

quote:

I (19F) had to go to my boyfriend's (27) parents house yesterday. I've only dated the bf for 2 months.

I've met them once before and they seemed okay then but yesterday it was just the dad and brother there.

They had said some borderline inappropriate things while I was outside about my cleavage ( I was wearing jeans and a T- shirt, nothing inappropriate or revealing). It made me slightly uncomfortable but I just kind of brushed it off. A little while later the dad walked into the bathroom while I was in there and asked me if I'd show him my breasts for a $50. I told him no and got out of there as fast as I could.

I told my bf what happened and he told me I was dumb for not taking the money so I told him to get bent and broke up with him.

Now he is blowing up my cell and messaging me on FB messenger. Half of it is asking me to talk to him, the other half is calling me names and threatening.

I'm not sure what I should do.

Edit- i have blocked him, he is using multiple accounts and numbers

Comments are telling the guy to run and they're probably right. Hope he uses this as evidence in his push to get full custody, too, because those kids are in for a lovely upbringing if they're stuck with a mom that's going to steal and destroy anything she decides she doesn't like.

Classmate [19M] of mine [29F] is angry that I am dating someone that isn't him.

quote:

So, I'm currently back in college for a career change.

There's this kid, Max, in one of my classes. He never struck me as a bad guy or anything, just one of those kids whose confidence has outpaced their maturity a little bit.

Last semester I was friendly to him in that classmate kinda way, and I think he got the wrong idea. He approached me after class one day and asked if I wanted to go out for drinks with him. I tried to politely turn him down and just let him know he was about a decade too young for me to be chasing, but it didn't seem to get through because he insisted he knew people with a big age gap and they made it work.

I finally just told him that I wasn't interested in dating and it seemed to get through to him.

Well, anyway, I met a guy I actually do want to date [32M] who is actually age-appropriate and, like me, is back on campus for a new career. We hit it off really quick and are doing very well.

Last week I got into class one day and realized Max was giving me the evil eye the whole period. As we were leaving he came up to me and told me that "he doesn't appreciate being lied to."

I asked him what he was talking about and he curtly told me he saw me and new boyfriend on a date downtown. I just told him it really wasn't his business what I was doing with someone downtown, but he was upset and insisted I lied to him and......well, I don't really know what he expected to come of it. I just decided I wasn't about to get in an argument with a teenager in the school hallway and walked away. He shouted something at me like "he just wants to talk," but I ignored it and moved on, mentally kinda rolling my eyes.

But since then, Max has been brooding about it. He approached me again yesterday and threw some shade at the program new boyfriend is in (education) and asked me if I knew what he was likely to be making as a teacher. I just told him I've been self-sufficient for the last ten years so I wasn't worried about it, and also asked him to stop talking to me.

He has stopped talking to me directly, but he still spent the whole day in his brooding mood whenever I was around, and as the instructor was working out partners for an assignment, Max felt the need to raise his hand and specifically ask not to be partners with me.

My first instinct was to strangle him when that happened, but I'm trying to get this handled without so much drama.

I know I could talk to the professor, but it would honestly feel silly to me to have to go up to the professor because I can't handle a 19 year old kid.

How can I handle this quietly and permanently?

tl;dr: Young kid in one of my classes got a crush and is upset that I started dating someone else. How to get him to knock it off without making a huge fuss?

Lady, you need to tell your professor and also start keeping a journal of these incidents for when you have to file a restraining order. This isn't a kid with a crush, this is a grown man who is repeatedly and aggressively trying to interact with you against your wishes.

Your ability to "handle" him depends entirely on him being a normal person and all indications currently point to him not being normal!

Recipe/cooking websites can be pretty lucrative. I mean, most probably are not. Most internet businesses are big failures, of course. But I've known a few people who made a good full time living from putting high quality photos of food on their website. I have no idea of OP's partner is making a living from it (or even a decent side income) but if so he ruined her work because he couldn't be patient. Even if it's just her hobby it's still hugely poo poo to do.

Food that is ready for high quality photography has traditionally not be the most edible. There is a long history of this, but maybe that's not a thing on the instas. But spraying with glycerin (for that shine) staging with toothpicks or whatever else for the just right (and impossible) pile, powders on fruit to give them that depth pop (which is often something like spray on deodorant), adhesive sprays on dishware/glassware to make it look like it's cold/frosted, elmers glue (dyed or otherwise) instead of milk/chocolate/whatever other thing that won't stay at the consistency you want at room temperature..........

Also, I never hear about how and to what extent any of these things are monetized in these stories. If they were making real money at this they probably wouldn't be doing it with their dinner and none of this would be an issue.

To me it depends on how many meals she is insisting he wait to eat while she takes a bunch of photos. If it’s an occasional thing then he’s an rear end in a top hat, but if she insists he wait until the food is cold for every meal then at a certain point sanity has to be restored.

AITA that I won’t rent to my nephew?

quote:

I bought a home when I was out of college. It’s a 3 bedroom home. For the last 20 years I have rented the rooms to young professional and interns near a tech hub.

My nephew Jack is in his 30 and bounced around from job to job. My mother and my sister (his mother) want me to rent it to him at a discount because he wants to move the area.

I already have 2 tenants both around 22. Both are women. Jack has had issues with dating and with women. Reddit would put him as a Neckbeard. I don’t want him to rent from me or be around my other tenants.

Jack argues about the most ridiculous things. He has mentality of a 15 year old boy and would not even fit in with the atmosphere of the house. I don’t want him there. He was evicted from his last place and his credit is eh. I told my mom and sister this and they have yelled me about how he’s family and maybe this time he will find a place where he fits in.

I put my foot down and said no. I will rent out the vacant room to someone else. My whole family is against me now. I don’t want Jack living in my house. I know he’s going to be an issue. It’s going to be tough for him because he doesn’t have a degree and it’s in an area that most jobs there require one.

My mom (his grandma) keeps saying I should give in a chance but in giving him a chance it may be hard for me to move him out. Especially since he’s already been through the eviction process once.

Because they are providing housing to people who either couldn't afford to buy/don't have the credit to do so or would only be using it for short enough of a time period that the transaction costs wouldn't make sense to buy.

You see, they are an rear end in a top hat because they should just let anyone live there for free. Or give it to the first people who asks. Or something. I'm not quite sure how that's supposed to work. But whatever they are doing is bad. Somehow they should be able to change the entire system that created this issue, and that's totally on them. Doing a good job for their customers is not an excuse, they still have to go to the guillotine.
