There were a few items on there due to allergies, but the majority was food that she just didn't want anyone making.

It was so loving weird that nobody could bring themselves to say "But we all saw deviled eggs" for the first few minutes. We didn't get to find out how long the gaslighting would have continued because another employee showed up with the platter of deviled eggs still wrapped in cellophane but squashed, found in a trash can at the back of the warehouse. At that point Joanne looked the woman right in the eyes and said "Deviled eggs? Are you loving kidding me?" and left for the rest of the day. And that was how potlucks found their way into the employee handbook of things that aren't allowed.

welcome to hell posted:AITA for getting mad over what my daughter chose after she humiliated me and uninvited me from her engagement dinner party? Narcissism is a beast, man quote:Now a days, whenever I have to talk to her I've to tiptoe around her and not comment on her dresses or makeup or career or lifestyle otherwise she simply reminds that she can and will stop talking to me, the only reason why started being her father's death. I only commented on those things during her teen years because she had a lot of potential and I didn't want it go waste. I wasn't harsh at all, like she claims. "I wasn't harsh at all, I just said that clothing made her look fat and the makeup made her look like she's a whore. Is that so bad? I was only giving my opinion; she didn't have to take it!" I do enjoy, however, that the daughter knows she has the power and is wielding it like a drat queen.

BrigadierSensible posted:There's a lot of hostility towards "pranks" in this thread. I get your point but I think that the audience needs to be considered as well. I have a friend who expressly considers pranks a betrayal of trust; to do something like this to her would be tasteless, at best. StrangersInTheNight posted:Yeh I was mostly referring to poo poo like Impractical Jokers, where they do just actually wander out into public and harass people IJ is like, the borderline for me, because usually the joke is on one of the guys, but I will say that the fact that Joe's left the show and conicidentally a whole bunch of his skits were pulled off of HBO Max has made me reconsider a bit.

The best prank is when you agree to prank a stranger for a TV show, and then discover that you just committed a political assassination and you're under arrest for murder.

that's pretty good insane narcissist behavior, but she could have improved by simply doing the classic boomer "look confused and smile" response when confronted with the smashed eggs

AITA for getting my girlfriend sock puppets for her birthday? quote:Ok so I will preface this by saying that me (27M) and my gf (23F) have been dating for 3 years, and before her I have not had a lot of dating experience, and this is my first (and hopefully only) long term relationship I have ever had.

Halloween Jack posted:If they want to murder someone, why can't they just drop a bomb on the wedding they're attending, like a normal country? I constantly have to remind myself that some people think that way. My family is relatively normal and my wife is great but her mother is a pure narcissist. Something as simple as us taking our kids to the zoo (which is nearby, and we have a membership so we go pretty often) was met by “well that’s ok I guess, we (wife and MIL) took them a couple months ago.” Because she has to keep score on how often she does fun things with them versus how often I, their father, who is married to their mother, does fun things with them. Edit: Captain Hygiene posted:AITA for getting my girlfriend sock puppets for her birthday? I’m on this dudes side. That was a pretty thoughtful gift. If she wanted a necklace with his gemstone she should’ve, you know, actually said that. Fork of Unknown Origins fucked around with this message at 17:25 on Mar 15, 2022 |

Kurieg posted:What is it with people playing games about expected presents and getting mad when their mind games didn't work? I'm sort of on both sides with that one. Definitely be more forward about gifts you'd like, "apparently dropping hints" can cover a whole lot of ground depending on the relationship. But OP did that thing where you go off of one offhand comment from ages ago, and got stuff that's even tangential to that and honestly kinda silly. Their heart's in the right place but they could've done way better.

Yeah, it was a thoughtful idea but at some point you have to step back and think "ok, I think it's thoughtful, but I'm getting my girlfriend of 3 years sock puppets for her birthday, is this going to go over well?" and my bet would be if you answered yourself honestly, it would be "no". That's more of a gift you get just because. Combo fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Mar 15, 2022 |

The trick is to buy a sock puppet and stuff the necklace or bracelet inside of it. Perfect prank.

AITA for not walking or standing next to my girlfriend in public when she wears heels?quote:Both my girlfriend[24F] and I[24M] are 5’7 and maybe 5’7.25 respectively, but when my girlfriend wears her heels she kind of towers over me in a way. Sometimes I’m a bit uncomfortable standing right next to her or walking with her in public because of this. Breaking out the smaller marks on the measuring tape, as you do

I once pranked my friend. I poured some peanut butter m&ms into a bowl and carefully removed the green and blue ones with a spoon. I then presented him with the bowl and told him they were Reece's Pieces. And he actually bought it! The madman!

AITA for naming my kids without their dads input and refusing to change it when he disagreed?quote:I (f23) recently had twins about 7 weeks ago. Me and their dad were engaged, planning on getting married, and did plan the pregnancy. He was the one who had really pushed the idea and convinced me, so when he decided to up and leave when I was about 14 weeks pregnant, it sucked. During my pregnancy, we had minimal contact, mainly around custody and the few requests on updates with the pregnancy. Surprisingly, he did fight for custody - to have 0%. He'll have visitation and parental rights but that's it. quote:Info: what was the conflict that caused you guys to break up OP posted:There wasn't a conflict that I'm aware of, he went on a business trip and sent me a text telling me that he 'didn't think it would work out between us'. quote:Wait he dumped you, his pregnant fiancée, over text?? OP posted:Yes, then had his sister help me pack my bags since I moved in with him.

Inceltown posted:A good prank is one that you know your 'victim' will laugh at too. The Jackass guys do stuff that is flat out abuse if done to people who aren't up for it but they do it to their buddies who are all just planning something equal and all laugh at it. Context is the key and one that the youtube 'prank' types miss out on which is how you end up with just flat out abuse stuff happening with 'just a prank' as justification. Yeah, the Jackass guys are all out-and-out masochists so it genuinely is all in good fun. On a side note when the subject of pranks-as-abuse comes up I'm always reminded of how Alfred Hitchcock considered himself a notorious 'prankster,' and if you look up the details of some of the pranks he pulled it becomes very clear that he was just a sadistic maniac.
