When I used to close my store, one night my key got stuck in the lock. I couldn't turn the key or remove it, passerbys couldn't either, and when I called my boss, he told me I'd just have to stay there until someone got the key out, and hung up.

Yeah but the paper trail of not only calling the Walmart manager who became aware of it, and the fire chief straight up threatening the OP's boss would make most labor lawyers dance in excitement if said boss tries to punish OP over it.

If the fire chief is anything like ones I've dealt with they'd probably personally make sure OP got in touch with a good lawyer and freely offer the formal incident report or something describing the nature of the event. Some of them practically live and breath by going berserk on businesses trying to gently caress around with fire code violations for minor things, much less an employee told to stay trapped in a potential death box overnight.

From comments to another story.

quote:

Absolutely right. I was a stay at home wife and student finishing my degree. He was the breadwinner. He kept a log of everything and then online banking made it easy for him. I could never purchase anything without an argument. If I bought take out, I should've cooked. He bought take out the very next day. He said he was just doing what everyone else at work did. I couldn't buy a vacuum cleaner but he bought an $80 remote control.

We rolled all of our coins and once I spent a roll of quarters to get gas. He came home and asked me why a roll of quarters was missing. I was floored! "You're counting the change?" I screamed. I told him I got gas with it. He told me that if I stayed home, I wouldn't need gas. I know...crazy. This went on for 3 years. After one last incident of buying a chocolate candy making class that I wanted to take and he told me it didn't taste worth the money I spent on the class, I had enough.

I told him then and there I wanted a divorce. His eyes got wide. I told him I would no longer live like this. I was back working and I paid for the class. I was so hurt because I worked hard on the candy. I told him to get out of the bedroom while I got my stuff.

He finally knocked on the door an hour later and apologized. I didn't want to hear it. He said if I gave him a chance, he would change. He did. He said his reasoning was that he grew up poor and he felt my purchases were a waste of money.

We ended up with a great marriage once we got that figured out.

I'm a little wary of anything that presents people in mental health crises as "quirky" because the first thing that comes to mind is some tumblr high school poo poo. Not saying it's the case, but it would probably be obvious ~10 pages in.

It's also clearly not a doorstopper of a novel if literally everyone else in the family could find time to read it, so taking an afternoon to read through it, maybe skim through just to get the general gist , is literally the least thing you can do for someone you married who achieved a major life goal.

Cythereal: Nov 8, 2009; I love the potoo,
and the potoo loves you.

My ex forced me to dress as Elsa from Frozen whenever we had sex

quote:

I really hope this is the right sub for this. I think enough time has passed (four years!) since this relationship ended that I can finally talk about it. I know that this might sound like creative writing, but I swear to god this is true. My ex-boyfriend had a fetish for Queen Elsa of Arendelle, from Disney�s Frozen. Be as sceptical as you want, I�m the one that had to deal with this bullshit. I was still a super religious fundamentalist at the time that this story took place, so I had no idea what a healthy relationship looked like. Now that I can look back on this, I can see just how strange this was.

When I was about 18 I started dating a boy from my church. We ended up dating for around a year and a half total. At first he seemed funny and charming, athletic, blah blah blah. He was all my teenage fantasies poured into one little blonde mould. About six months after we started dating, Frozen came out. I thought it was a cute movie and everything but my ex on the other hand. Whoo boy. It was like a switch flipped in him. I was not prepared for what came next.

At first it seemed innocent enough. He bought Frozen t-shirts, posters, and other merchandise. He liked to sing along to the songs while we were driving. No big deal, he found something he enjoys. Normal, right?

Then he started to grow an obsession. Every time we went for a date, it was always at one of our places, watching Frozen. I suggested other activities but was always shut down. I didn�t mind much because I loved him and wanted to spend time with him any way I could, and if I had to suck him off when Do You Wanna Build a Snowman was playing in the background, then God Dammit, I�d suck him off when Do You Wanna Build a Snowman was playing in the background. He bought a storybook that basically told the plot of Frozen in book form and would grab different parts of my body while I read it to him. These events led us up to both of us losing our virginity while Let it Go was playing in the background. Not my proudest moment. (Speaking of �let it go,� he used to say that when he came.) The love letters and good morning messages he wrote to me started to reference the movie and the characters more than they talked about him or I.

Sooner or later the obsession turned over to me personally. He wanted me to look like Elsa. My hair is naturally dark, and he begged me to make it blonde and braid it. I ended up lightening it a bit for summer and he got angry that I didn�t come out fully bleach blonde. He made me do eyeshadow in purple like the character in the movie and made me show him how to do it. He made an outfit for me to wear when I visited his apartment (well, he made me a list of things I had to buy for myself, to wear to his apartment every time I visited) that included an ice-blue top that showed lots of cleavage, white shorts, and an over-the-top amount of silver jewellery. He even begged me to purchase a fifty-dollar Elsa gown from a Halloween shop and became angry when I wouldn�t blow $50 of my limited nanny salary on a Halloween costume that would be hiked up around my waist and stained in cum in a manner of seconds anyway. When I wouldn't cough up the money to purchase an Elsa gown, he gave me the silent treatment for nearly two days. The creepiest part of this, is that after he went through all these detailed fantasies of wanting to gently caress a Disney character, he approached me and asked me if we could name our first daughter Elsa. You know, after he hosed me in the rear end while watching the movie in HD.

I suppose I should feel bad for kink-shaming him but honestly, he was such a piece of poo poo to me for not being a living fucktoy shaped like a kids movie character. So here it is, world.this girl's ex has a fetish for Queen Elsa from Disney�s Frozen.

Sincerely, NipplesDaClown, an unwilling Elsa.

Doner kebab still has a skewer, it just doesn't leave the rotisserie. Kebab/kabob (the spelling doesn't matter since it's just a transliteration from arabic anyway) is a whole huge genre of food with many many varieties. It's not quite as overloaded a word as curry, but it's up there.

It's cooked on a skewer, not served on one. Also you're describing a donner, cooked on a big skewer. If you get chicken, it's cooked on a little skewer.

I know it's confusing as these delicacies are usually enjoyed after ten pints as you stagger home from your local.

I'm sorry what kebab shop do you go to that doesn't offer shish kebab? Look at the cooler at the front, you'll see a bunch of meat on metal sticks. That it's no longer on the stick by the time you get it is irrelevant.

And as mentioned, go into a kebab shop - what's that giant hunk of doner meat rotating on do you think, anyway? Oh, a big long vertical metal stick. What do we call those?

This one had some good updates...

I think this one was posted in this thread:

quote:

UPDATE: after reading all of the comments telling me no one cares about our wedding, the vacation doesn�t sound like it�d be fun at all, I�m being controlling, I�m being a selfish and an entitled bridezilla, I clearly don�t value my family etc etc, my fiance and I have decided to cancel our wedding all together!!! We�ll have a small ceremony for us and our parents and then my husband and I will use the big beautiful mansion we rented out as our honeymoon!! We�ll message the Airbnb host tomorrow about moving the date up. We�re very excited!! I realized neither of us wanted to cater to anyone because the only people that matter when it comes to our marriage is us!! gently caress everyone else lol!

To everyone saying that child free wedding are �egotistical�: no one cares about your kids lol. I love kids, I really do, but no one should have to cater to your kids needs except YOU!!

Thank you all for making me realize how stupid family weddings are, we don�t need them present to have our happily ever after. We�d prefer to avoid the drama all together. That�s all!!

Which still makes her sound insane, but this update cautiously makes me on her side... Cautiously...

quote:

Here�s some things wrapping up my post. I couldn�t add that much to the post, so here it is.

So I left this comment and a lot of people responded saying I should�ve added this to the post. I couldn�t add it on AITA, so here it is:

�Omgggg where do I start. I moved in with her after her kid was born and her baby daddy left (I was only 15) and lived with her for three years and helped raise her kid, but she swears it never happened!! When she moved out of my parents she took the family dog with her. The last time she moved she asked for hell because she�s pregnant but then sat the entire time and did nothing. I had to clean hers and her sons room which both had trash up to my knees, and then pack EVERYTHING. Because her stomach hurt. Not to sound insensitive but the only time she seems to feel sick was when she had to do something. She was about 3 months along. My fiance (bf at the time) and I offered to help her move (like actually pack up the truck and move furniture and such) and AGAIN she sat doing NOTHING the entire time. It was -5 outside and she sat in the car. Once we were done, I got into the car and she said �oh good you�re done� and i was like �yeah. We�re done. You could�ve helped.� And she said �it�s cold� I- UGGGHHHH WAS SO MAD. But she was pregnant so I pushed through. I kept helping. After, my �bf� and I were talking about where we wanted to eat and she started screaming at us to stfu because she�s hungry and doesn�t want to listen to people talk about food. Omg I was mortified. He spent all day lugging furniture in negative weather and she was so rude!! Never even thanked him. Then, I was over the moon to throw her a baby shower, I love kids. But she never sent me an invite list. I waited months and eventually made it myself because we were running out of time and she PITCHED A FIT about who I did or didn�t invite. And then she loving uninvited me. To a babyshower i spent hundreds of dollars and hours of time planning. The only jobs she has a the pregnant mother is to make an invite list and show up on time. But she also complained about the time I planned it!! Omg I couldn�t believe it.�

FINAL UPDATE I sent out an email canceling the wedding �to avoid any conflicts with child care arrangements� and �we decided it wasn�t fair to people with children.� Obviously, this isn�t true, but that�s where this all began so. I didn�t tell anyone about the conflict between my sister and I, but she had already dragged half of my family into it, so they knew the situation. This is each persons reaction:

My parents: they were disappointed, but understand. My sister has always been a nightmare and we have always given her anything she wants, if for nothing else, just to shut her up. They literally let her take the family dog just to keep her from throwing a tantrum. They�re glad that I shut her up as well as not just giving her what she wants.

His parents: they were so sad. They were really excited to have this vacation, but they�re still happy for us and understand.

Younger siblings: are loving crushed. I�m going to go on a weekend trip with them to make up for it. That seemed to cheer them up.

Sister: My loving sister, made a facebook post telling everyone what an arrogant cnt I am!! She texted me saying she never wants to see me again, but she also said that when I accidentally broke her favorite perfume. And again when told her son he couldn�t have my cat, yes, MY cat of two years, and she told her son in front me �maybe auntie will let you take the cat when we leave� and she put me in the awkward and upsetting position of telling my nephew and sister absolutely not. And again when I wouldn�t make her dozens of meals for her to freeze for after she gave birth. And again when I didn�t buy her a gift for her baby shower that she uninvited me to, that I PLANNED. She�ll get over it once she needs a babysitter again, like every time.

Everyone else: honestly, that�s just too much to go into. Some people are butthurt they don�t get to attend the wedding and are calling me �petty and small� (I am, idc) but some are just annoyed because this is what my sister does. This is who she is.

I decided idgaf if I�m TAH or not. It�s my wedding, my fianc� is happy with this decision, and we will do what we want. But honestly, the people calling me an rear end in a top hat were usually assholes themselves (telling me I�ll get divorced, my family probably hates me and they should go NC with me either way, that I�m insufferable, that I hate kids, that I�m a bad aunt, that I should never have kids, that I�m entitled etc etc) and I don�t think I should cater to people like that lol. Thanks for helping me realize how ungrateful people are!!

I'm assuming it's one of those things that start out innocent enough; like he is struggling to bond with his daughter, so he starts making notes of her likes and dislikes, preferred topics of conversation, and such. As coping mechanisms go, that's fairly inoffensive. He notices it smoothing things over, so he then starts jotting down other things; who her friends are, what they're like, how she professes to feel about her life and relationships. That's a fair bit more alarming, but could theoretically be settled with an open and honest conversation about how and why that is wrong.
