Today on the lowest low stakes AITA

AITA for not eating the bread part of a calzone and only eating the meatballs and cheese?

quote:

Yesterday I (15F) went to a pizza restaurant with my mom and dad. My parents got a pizza and I got a meatball calzone, which was rlly huge! When it came out I cut it in half and still thought it was too big, so I cut the sides open so I could open it up. I did that and the first half of it I ate all the meatballs and cheese, there were only 2 meatballs in it cut in half then I put my opened one on the pan and grabbed the other half because I actually wanted to eat the other half's guts.

My mom asked what in the world I was doing and I said I just want the insides and not the bread and she started saying I need to eat the whole thing and people are going to think I'm weird (mom, I am!). I started cutting open the other half to get to the meat and she got even more mad at me and said she wasn't going to take me anywhere ever again if I keep acting like this because it's embarrassing.

I couldn't believe she was mad at me because I wasn't eating the bread and had a little bit of a
silent tantrum and just stopped eating and sat there until they were done. We didn't talk the rest of the night and when we got home I just took a shower and immediately went to bed.

Reddit of course decided this 15 year old kid being a kid is an rear end in a top hat.

Guess how much they're paying this paragon to sit 5 kids, 3 of them not potty trained?
$25/hour

Update: My wife was able to get through to Adeline. She will come back for $45 an hour and we will be getting her a car.


At least that part got fixed!

Yeah, it's too bad because it's not Ashton's "fault" per se, and she might even be a really good girlfriend in most ways, but if she isn't going to put her foot down with her sister there's no way forward for this guy.

Nah, that would make perfect sense. Eat that delicious cheesy saucy bread, save the bulk of the sauce and meat to put on some spaghetti later.

I love when people try to use either "weird" or "what will people think" to control someone who doesn't care about either of those things.

To start with it's generally so you can get in if they're away and there's a house issue. After they get to a certain age it becomes so you don't have to kick the door down to recover whatever is left after the cats have finished eating 'em. Elderly neighbours with no local relatives will do it for the same reason (AMA ABOUT FINDING A BODY).

It’s fine if your family members have any respect for boundaries at all. But that assumes it’s your house and not someone else’s.

:blizz::gamefreak:
Me and my eldest sister have copies of my parent's house key. Me because I live closest, my eldest sister because she's nominally the executor of their estate. But we all know ways of getting into the house in case of an emergency because they've been the same since we were kids. Though that's mainly because my parents have repeatedly told us we're always welcome at home, and always protest when we thank them for hosting us for holidays and the like, because to them it's just what's expected.

The situation is vastly different when you're giving out copies of your boyfriend's house key to your Sister so she has a place to crash with her 3 kids.

You can often buy old keys at Salvation Army stores, just grab handfuls of them from whatever bowl they're being kept in for a couple bucks.

Every person who insists on a copy of my keys "just in case" or "everyone in the family has each others' keys in case of an emergency" has a different set of keys and it makes me so happy.

I am but for unrelated reasons to bodies.


We had a 95 year old neighbour with a son three hundred miles away and a habit of leaving his phone off the hook. Got used to a call every couple of months saying they hadn't heard from him in a few days and we'd rock paper scissors for who was on body gamble this time round. I eventually lost. He didn't have cats luckily.

I gave a friend of mine who lives about a mile away a copy of my house key, just in case my dumbass locks myself out. The thought has literally never crossed my mind that they'd use it when I'm not there, or even period, really, lol

Metal Coat? It's already active?!
I have a copy of a friend's house key because she lives 5 minutes away and if she ever locks her keys inside then I can just go unlock it for her. Or feed her cats if she gets stuck working a double out of nowhere.

The important distinction is she wanted me to have the key, and I didn't just go out and make myself a copy of it without her permission.

The problem is that most people will do an endless "sunk cost fallacy waltz" with their family members. It actually takes a significant amount of effort to tell family to gently caress off and stay away.

Chasing the dream.
My SIL has a copy of my house key for emergencies or house sitting purposes. She lives in town and is super trustworthy and has never ever come over without calling or asking us first and I don't think she ever would without good reason. My sister is an irresponsible train wreck who doesn't even know where I live and will never ever get a key. I don't understand people who give keys out to anyone that is family, that's just asking for trouble.
