My son Aethelred is never ready for school on time. Unready, you might say. Also we give him bad council.

I named my kid after a famous scientist. We all have our Fandom. Re: food thievery, I admit I was an awful food thief in grad school. I'm ashamed of it to this day. Therapy in the intervening years seems to have helped me pin some of the reasons, but the bottom line is I have a trauma-induced stress-based relationship with food. As anyone can tell you, grad school is a pretty stressful place. One of our postdocs, Dave, has a big thing of candy he kept in his desk. I ate the gently caress out of that candy without asking and without fessing up when he asked around. It eventually got so bad, and everyone knew it was me, to the point when another lab dressed up as our lab for a Halloween party, the guy playing me held a huge bag of candy. That hurt bad, but it did at the very least give me the kick in the rear end to apologize and start buying Dave candy as replacement. I still dug into his stash, but it was sanctioned (or at least I hope it was and I wasn't misinterpreting things  )Sorry, Dave, for being an rear end in a top hat. The point is this story is that food thieves should be

There is a bit of difference between naming your kid Kain or Raziel and Grand Admiral Thrawn or Kardashian. AITA for not offering my friend to replace the chinaware that my son broke? quote:Yesterday, my friend Sue was watching my kids for the afternoon (son 7 and daughter 12). When I went to pick them up, my son looked distressed and had been crying. Sue said everything was alright, that he bumped his head a little and he'll be fine. When I got home, I asked the kids what happened. Turns out when son was napping, Sue and daughter had a tea party and sometime later, son somehow snuck under the table without them noticing and tried to tickle them. That startled them, which in turn startled son who stood up and knocked the table over. And with it, all the chinaware came crashing down and almost all shattered.

Feel like anyone dumb enough to serve tea using $1000 worth of china on a table so delicate it can be flipped over by someone standing up too quickly should pay the stupid tax and replace it themselves.

The fact Sue didn't even mention it makes me suspect she doesn't really care. Maybe she has a dozen sets. Maybe it isn't worth a drat grand.

AITA for trying to help a girl at the gym?quote:A month ago a girl started regularly coming to the gym that I go to. I’m not a stalker or anything, we just happen to be there during the same hours. I have been working out and going to the gym for years now so I am pretty knowledgeable about workouts, nutrition etc. So I have noticed that this girl doesn’t have a workout plan, she doesn’t have leg day arm day etc. she just exercises several parts of her body every time. She doesn’t count reps, she doesn’t do sets, generally it’s a mess.

Evil Willow posted:AITA for trying to help a girl at the gym? If you are watching someone else at the gym work out so much you know their lifting routine, or lack thereof, you are watching them too goddamn much. I would say I don't know what he thought was going to happen but I'm sure he thought she'd bow to his obvious knowledge and go "holy poo poo you're right people have workout routines!" And possibly sleep with him. I think the only time someone at the gym needs unasked for advice from some other gym rando is if they're in definite, imminent danger of hurting themselves.

mediaphage posted:that girl was hosed up. i roomed for a while with a dude whos fiance would out of the blue talk about how she wanted us to gently caress, it was very uncomfortable. I had a roommate in college who tried to ship me and another female friend for… nearly 2 years? As soon as I figured out what she was doing I clearly and directly told her I wasn’t really interested in women, this girl might be cool to get to know as a friend but nothing more than that, also btw I have a huge crush on this male friend if you must play matchmaker. Over a year in I discovered she was going behind my back and telling every mutual friend we (me and female friend) were actually madly in love with eachother. I had to sit people down one-by-one and explain that my roommate was insane and repeatedly continued this behavior after I’d directly asked her to stop. And that I’d had a long-standing crush on a male friend that I’d confided to said roommate. This roommate had been diagnosed with borderline by 2 therapists within 2 months of my living with her. Had no idea what bpd was until I learned the hard way!

Evil Willow posted:AITA for trying to help a girl at the gym? YTA leave people the gently caress alone at the gym. I had a guy try to be nice and helpful and tell me how to use a machine I was using, but like, with wrong bad advice. He was super nice and all but just would not stop following me after that to give me "helpful" tips. It has now been like 4 weeks since I've been back because it made me incredibly uncomfortable and I have powerful anxiety. Thanks, gym guy!

The number one thing I hear about gym etiquette is that no one at the gym is watching you or cares what you are doing. It's something I've heard many gym bros say multiple times to people who are worried about getting made fun of or stared at trying to work out for the first time. At worst they would come over and stop you if you are doing something that has a high risk of injuring yourself. The OP is the living embodiment of what potential gym goers fear and what regular gym goers loving hate. The fact he even uses the phrase "I started insisting" to someone doing cardio marks him as a huge piece of poo poo and most likely has been reported to gym staff before for causing problems with women at least once prior to this.

This is such a  encapsulation of a toxic relationship, when you know them well enough that you can can see the trap coming a mile away but still end up walking into it anyway. The dudes got inside her head to the point where she considers enforcing basic boundaries or consequences as being "too much"
