WIBTA if I report single mom Uber driver for refusing my service dog?

quote:

I just obtained my service dog (not "emotional support animal"), an actual service dog.

I had an Uber driver refuse to let me in with my service dog even though I told her it was a service dog (it is my understanding that Uber/Lyft drivers are not allowed to refuse service dog even if allergic or afraid of dogs).

I told her it is not only against Ubers TOS to refuse a service dog but also illegal and that Uber would ban her as a result.

She was begging me to cut her a break because she's a single mom with a disabled son who's highly allergic, and needs to be an Uber driver because of the flexible schedule due to her son's needs and was begging me not to report her. I told her I'm disabled too which is why I have my dog, and imagine how she would feel if her son was turned away due to his disability.

AITA for telling my daughter that she made a hasty decision to get engaged to her fiancè?

quote:

My daughter Hannah (23f) is a medical student, She lives alone in a rental apartment while seeing her then boyfriend Tom (26). Tom has a medical chronic condition that needs to be managed constantly. He's a good guy and treats us and Hannah well but seeing Hannah having to sometimes take care of his condition is just...it affects her school and consumes her time.

Last week, Hannah surprised us by announcing that she and Tom got engaged. She made the announcement while visiting us and me and her dad were in dismay. She noticed and asked, I had to be honest and told her that she made a hasty decision to get engaged to Tom...knowing he has a medical condition that needs constant managing, which will fall on her especially when she moves in with him. she should be focusing on school for now. She was shocked but my husband agreed with me and said this wasn't a wise decision. Tom looked down for a minute then excused himself outside. Hannah got mad and said that Tom's condition doesn't affect or hold her back, not even one bit, and said that I was out of line to imply that Tom was taking advantage of her and that them getting engaged was a mistake. I explained to her that getting engaged and eventually marrying a person with a medical condition requires committments and dedication and frankly...I don't see my daughter becoming her partner's caregiver, despite her having knowledge about his condition. She shamed me and my husband for saying this infront of Tom then took her purse and walked out.

We called and called later but she was still mad at us. Eventually I said what I said because I was worried about her and wanted to make sure she was aware of what she was signing herself up to. Yes Tom is functional and can do most things by himself but I'm more worried about the future cause it can be unpredictable.

The most successful ad campaign I've ever seen was whatever safety institute paid a bunch of sitcom writers to have an episode where one character is the Designated Driver. Not just for propagating the idea into the public consciousness, but for managing to use sitcoms, the villain of this thread, as a force for good.

I have no idea what similar ads I've fallen for because they were smart enough to convince me I wasn't being advertized to, but I'm sure they exist.

AITA for yelling at my bf for taking a nap with his roommate?

quote:

Throwaway. Sorry for typos I am so mad at my bf

So my BF (M22) and I (F22) have been dating for a couple months now and he is really really close with his 3 roommates (All M21).

Some background information on the roommates- so you know their dynamic- is that my bf and 2 other roommates are like “Bro” guys- frat boy kinda. The other one is the complete opposite, and gay. These 4 are actually pretty well-known at our college because everyone likes them so I got lucky to date one of them. Anyway, while I’m fine with them being friends, they are all so touchy to each other. Constantly hugging and joke hitting-on each other. When I confronted the gay one about this weird polygamous relationship he laughed at my face and said “Oh, I don’t know we’re just close and they remind me a lot of my family back at home, so you don’t have to worry about me ever liking them haha”

I even tried confront my BF about this multiple times and he just says that and his roommates are just expressive.

So today I was trying to get a hold of my BF because we were supposed to eat lunch together after I got done with class. He wasn’t answering any of my calls so I showed up at their apartment and one of the roommates let me in. I saw that my BF and him were taking a nap together and I snapped and screamed at both of them.

Both of them shot up from their nap cause I caught them and I then dragged my BF out of the apartment and had a talk about how weird it is for them to be this close especially when one of them is gay and could like him. I told him he needs to set boundaries and that he could stay at my house for awhile if he needed to. My bf proceeded to stay silent and then walk back inside and locked the door?? Wtf!!!!

I tried texting him about how I was maybe out of line there but the only thing he texted back was “A**Hole.” I don’t tjink I was being unreasonable, thIs is not normal right? I don’t have much friends so I don’t know who else to get advice from… so please AITA?

AITA for not wanting to call my daughter by her nickname

quote:

Hello. I am mildly new to reddit, this has caused a divide between my family and friends. A friend of mine suggested posting it here to get an outside perspective.

I have a 21 yo daughter, but she doesn't talk to us anymore. Her father and her had an extremely rough relationship, but I do not feel we have time to explain all that. In short, my husband has very traditional beliefs and attempted to get her to comply with those. The issue is, my daughter hates all her father's beliefs and came out as a lesbian in her freshmen year. She was very rebellious during high school for that reason. Got into a lot of fights, never respected her teachers, and swore like a sailor.

After a very serious screaming match with her father, she cut us out of her life at 18. I will not go into detail. My mother hates my husband and paid for my daughter to move in with her in an entirely different country after this, I believe just to spite him and me. We have had little contact with her since.

Now to the main problem. She hates her birth name and refuses to answer or accept it. She chose to go by a nickname she had as a child, 'spook', which I think is absolutely ridiculous. It was simply a nickname her friends called her when she was little. Well her birthday is coming up soon, and I wanted to try and reach out.

I kept calling her by her birth name in our short conversation. She refused to answer too Payton and said she'd talk to me when I called her by her 'real' name. Spook is not a reasonable name and I won't call her by it. Her 'friends' all called me an rear end in a top hat and say I never even cared about her, why care now?

I took this issue to my friends and family. It is a split between the two, a few members of my family and so-called friends say I'm an rear end in a top hat for refusing to just call her Spook to try and mend our relationship. Others agree its a ridiculous name and her real name is more reasonable.

AITA?

tldr; my daughter wants to go by a foolish name and won't talk to me otherwise.

AITA for throwing my asexual brother a proper bachelor party

quote:

I’ll preface this by saying my brother (26m) and I (29m) are super close. And he is about to get married to his lovely girlfriend of 5 years. He has been an out asexual for 2 of those years and she’s been supportive of that. So have I, love who you love and all that. I’m an ally.

I am the best man at his wedding, or I was the best man at his wedding. His fiancée told me last night that I’m out of the wedding party now and that my brother was too uncomfortable to make that choice himself (that’s weird if you ask me, be a man and come to me yourself, but whatever) I asked her why and she said it was because I didn’t respect him. When pressing further she said it was because he’s asexual. But I have been nothing but supportive of his life choices. Nobody asked him to have sex with anybody.

I was in charge of his bachelor party and I threw him a loving amazing party. There was booze and games, and all the poo poo you’d expect. But problem was, apparently he is rejecting the standard Bachelor party stuff. And that would’ve been fine but he never told me he wanted anything different. So around the halfway point of the party, I’d ordered a stripper to come in and give my brother a lap dance. And she came in and he was immediately really weird and tried to like, push her onto someone else. And I tried to encourage him that it was cool and not cheating or anything but he was pissed, called his fiancée, and after about ten minutes left the venue early.

I tried to confront him about it outside but he told me that he’d “talk to me when he had cooled off” and he got in his car and left.

But he never talked to me about it, and his fiancée did to tell me I was out of the best man slot. Should I even go to the wedding? Am I a bad brother? AITA?

AITAH for informing my wife I will be modeling for a company that sells adult toys?

quote:

Hi, I (36M) have been told I am a fairly attractive man my whole life. Recently my family has fallen on hard times. A small business owner recently approached me about modeling in one of their campaigns for some of their adult toys. I of course said no. I'm not a model and I never planned on being one. The owner gave me his card and said if I change my mind to give him a call.

When I got home I saw my wife and child were not home but my wife's computer was open. I saw google excel was open and our budget left no room for anything besides the necessities...again. Out of desperation I called the business owner and asked if he still needed a model. He said yes then set up a date and time we coulddo the shoot. When my wife came home I told her everything I wrote in this post.

Now it's important noting even though I will be promoting adult toys. I don't view bodies as inherently sexual and I'm only doing as a job. There's no other motive. I expressed that to my wife but she was still FURIOUS and demanded I call the guy back to cancel. She then asked how I could even think about accepting the job without asking her. I told her I will do no such thing and I'm a grown man who doesn't need anyone permission to do anything with my body. Now she's mad at me and calling me an rear end in a top hat. AITA?

NGL, if I ever end up with a glass eye, it'll be really tempting to start pulling revolting pranks with it

From Mark Twain's "His Grandfather's Old Ram":
"She was a good soul–had a glass eye and used to lend it to old Miss Wagner, that hadn’t any, to receive company in; it warn’t big enough, and when Miss Wagner warn’t noticing, it would get twisted around in the socket, and look up, maybe, or out to one side, and every which way, while t’ other one was looking as straight ahead as a spy-glass. Grown people didn’t mind it, but it most always made the children cry, it was so sort of scary. She tried packing it in raw cotton, but it wouldn’t work, somehow–the cotton would get loose and stick out and look so kind of awful that the children couldn’t stand it no way. She was always dropping it out, and turning up her old dead-light on the company empty, and making them oncomfortable, becuz she never could tell when it hopped out, being blind on that side, you see. So somebody would have to hunch her and say, “Your game eye has fetched loose, Miss Wagner dear”–and then all of them would have to sit and wait till she jammed it in again–wrong side before, as a general thing, and green as a bird’s egg, being a bashful cretur and easy sot back before company. But being wrong side before warn’t much difference, anyway; becuz her own eye was sky-blue and the glass one was yaller on the front side, so whichever way she turned it it didn’t match nohow. "

AITA for referring to writing Excel formulas as code?

quote:

I am in my mid thirties at a company in a non-IT role. I've always loved teaching myself different things though I'm not anything special when it comes to computers.

When I started working there, my predecessor did a lot by hand. I realized that Excel formulas could do a lot of the menial tasks, freeing me up to work on big picture things. When my bosses saw how efficiently I was able to generate reports, they asked me to assist other departments with tracking and reports, so I began automating a good amount of the tracking we're required to do and it's made everyone's lives a lot easier.

This is probably 75% IF statements with a few VLOOKUP and Power Queries set up but no macros (not allowed due to security and beyond my abilities).

The other night at a gathering with some friends, one girl, Amy, had her new boyfriend, Steve, there and he worked as a SQL developer. He was talking about getting frustrated because a function wouldn't execute only to realize that someone had forgotten to close a bracket.

I replied that I'd had a similar problem with some code I'd written and spent an hour before realizing I'd put a parenthesis in the wrong spot. He inquired what language I programed in. I replied that it was one of several nested Microsoft Excel formulas I'd written.

He laughed, "That's not coding. That's doing what any high school kid with a laptop can do."

I replied, "OK writing formulas. I'm the only one in my office that does it."

He replied, "You're just trying to make yourself sound smarter by calling it coding. You know what you did, and you got caught, take the L and move on."

One of my friends changed the subject, mercifully. Later on, when I went to answer a text, he said, "You do know that's called typing and not coding, right? Don't want you to get confused."

I replied, "Wow, you really are that much of a loving prick, aren't you?"

"I'm not a prick! I just caught you in a lie," he said.

"Oh, shut the gently caress up. Nobody cares," I replied.

Nothing else came up that night. Things are tense with Amy and my girlfriend right now. Amy says that Steve doesn't like when people fake who they are and I escalated things and made them personal. My girlfriend thinks I went a bit over the top but he was clearly antagonizing me and she doesn't blame me for going back at him. With cooler heads, I wish I'd just ignored him and wonder if I did start the whole thing by referring to Excel formulas as code.

AITA for trying to win back my wife

quote:

I am J(m34) and I have been married to my wife (f29) for 8 long years. I love her very much. We even have a 3 year old daughter. Everything was perfect but I accept that our life has become too much monotonous lately.

Few months ago my wife sat me down and told me that she's has realised something . She told me she feels like she is not attracted to men and was never attracted but convinced herself that she was. She also admitted that she had hooked up with a woman in her teens and keep thinking about that time.

She told me she wants divorce because she feels like she's being dishonest to me and herself if she keeps living this life. At that time I was too shocked and told her I need space and just don't know what to say. She moved out and rented an apartment nearby.

I've been missing her a lot. I get to meet my daughter bi weekly but it's not same. I recently got to know that she's dating a woman from her work Helen (fake name). I have met Helen before and never actually liked her but this made me hate her more. I am convinced she broke my marriage.

I decided I cannot let Helen win and started pursuing my wife again. I sent her flowers, sent her gifts and even asked her out on dinner. She came to the dinner but admitted she only came to tell me that my efforts are futile and everything just cannot go back to normal. It broke my heart but I don't give up easy.

I got to know that they both skipped office one day to take a trip together. I took care of our daughter that day. I called their office where they had lied about being sick and told them the truth. My wife got very angry and asked me what did I think I would accomplish aside from getting her fired. I told I will keep doing this stuff unless she just comes back to me and stop this bs about being gay.

My wife has filed a restraining order against me now and I am afraid she will take my daughter away from me as well. I thought fighting for family was important.

If I end up dead this year, my neighbor across the street did it.

(For the record, reddit's revelatory advice was to record his actions and file a police report.)
Police are corruption, but Idunno why she assumes that a small-time drug dealer is BFFs with the cops.

r/relationships: You did not properly respond to the judgement bot.
There are clickbait sites whose entire business is based on cribbing posts from these subreddits. I imagine modding them is a coveted position, which is why they're run by the stiffest martinets imaginable (and maybe the same sleazeballs who monetize the posts).

AITA for demanding my husband to go to therapy to fix his controlling nature?

As for the finances, when we got married, we agreed to have split finances, including a prenup. I earned more than him when we got engaged. Our earning power is about equal now, and he finished a big project and his boss gave him a big bonus. He decided to use it to finish paying off the mortgage on our house without consulting me. My girlfriends pointed out to me we could've used that money to go on a nice vacation this summer.
Wow.

The WHAT thing? I know I was taught weird poo poo growing up white in rural towns, but what the gently caress?

How the hell are you supposed to shave your legs right if you don't wash them first? I have a ton of leg, I admit it's a pain to wash them, but I can't imagine not doing it. And 95% of my showers are like 5-10 minutes max.
It's a meme that got out of hand because Twitter is people's real lives now. The version I heard was "Bernie Bros don't wash their legs in the shower."

That guy's gonna kill someone.

I like the stories where for the first paragraph or so I’m like oh poor op and then a few sentences later I’m hoping his ex and Helen carry guns and own a giant guard dog.

I wonder if OP is a cop that’s the energy I’m getting from him

All I know is that I've had every shower I've had since then ruined by the actual, factual knowledge that white people don't wash their legs. I just get to my legs and am like, "There's melanin deficient people out there skipping this step." Then I curl my upper lip in disgust.
