Girlfriend is missing out on a great opportunity with hogboy. If he doesn't care about looking like an absolute garbage monster in public, can't she record that poo poo for TikTok or YouTube or wherever you can get money for people doing stupid, obnoxious things? Mukbang is a thing, right?

I hope Todd ethers that guy. Its come up before in this thread, but the majority of shoplifters are addicts to the act of shoplifting, and depending on study they are the overwhelming majority. Needs based/access based shoplifting is a small portion, sub 10% to sub 2%. Hell people needing the money for drugs is smaller than you might think both because its inefficient and because there are people able to quit doing meth because the thrill from shoplifting was better. This is not to say all shoplifters are vile scum, its merely to note why many people are so adverse to those who perform the act because it comes part and parcel often with other unhealthy behaviors and attitudes.

AITA for pulling all my money from the account after he refused to stop making comments about me getting a job?quote:30F and I'm currently unemployed for the first time since I was 15. Even prior to when I would switch jobs, I already had employment lined up so there was never a break between paychecks. My husband will have dry spells where he won't work for some months at a time, get a job and hardly ever sticks with it for more than 6 months before he quits and takes a "break". I didn't quit my last job. The company went belly up and didn't tell us until people were coming in and shutting us down. I've been 1 month without a 'steady' income but I've been searching endlessly. This all came to a stand still when my husband's engine blew up in his car so now he takes mine to work and leaves me at the house. So now I need something from home and it's drat near impossible (if you know of anything remote entry level that doesn't require degrees, please let me know). good. next, show him whose car it is

I woke up to a nurse shoving my mobile in my face, with my wife on the other end - I was 'WTF, why are you doing this to me?!?'. I'd been insistent apparently a short while before that I needed to call my wife, but I DID NOT remember that conversation, so it was a bit harrowing. In short, gently caress the SIL.

The last time I went in for a colonoscopy I remember drifting off in a completely loopy haze from the twilight medication and just prior to losing consciousness leaving the colorectal surgeon with the parting words of "have a look and see if you can find my missing car keys". Not proud of that low hanging fruit.

Absurd Alhazred posted:AITA for ruining my brother's marriage because his wife left me at the pool When I got my wisdom teeth out i insisted to the dentist and my mom that I was fine to drive home (obviously they didn't let me). Apparently I talked the entire car ride back but I have no recollection of that. Also I swallowed way more gauze than I probably should have. When my ex got hers out, I took her to get antibiotics and then straight home. In retrospect I probably should have taken her home first, and that was on me. But anyway about 2 seconds after she laid on the couch she passed the hell out for a few hours. It was kinda cute.

Some of my wisdom teeth were impacted and had to be broken down for removal. The local anesthetic was not completely successful, and the dental surgeon was an rear end in a top hat, mocking me for making "I'm in pain" noises. So that was fun.

I am a touch late on the shoplifting chat, but I want to put out that "it isn't hurting anyone" isn't 100% correct, depending on the company. I'm not going to roll over on someone doing so, and especially wouldn't judge someone for stealing necessities. But the hourly employees are often the ones who bear the brunt of the reaction in some companies, when the person stealing isn't caught, due to the items coming up as shrink. If bad enough, this can include losing their jobs. So in the end, while I will absolutely turn a blind eye to people shoplifting necessities and won't report someone stealing other poo poo (though I will judge the gently caress out of them) because gently caress it, and "gently caress corporations" is basically one of my mottos.....I have little sympathy for someone, even a teenager, playing stupid games and winning stupid prizes.

Our family’s are also close so I don’t have any attraction to her as a gf I see her like a sister. Most of my gfs have been ok with her and I try to make it clear the divide we have as friends. My fiancé is close friends with my friend and has been friends with her since before our relationship and so it hasn’t been any issues until now.

After the enforced separation of the last few years, they are finally having sleepovers at Grandma’s house! While getting ready for bed, I saw they were keeping their underwear on under their pajamas. To be clear, these weren’t the “pull up” underwear for nighttime protection; these were the standard cotton briefs they wear during the day. When I gently queried this, I was told that “Mommy says this is what we do.” Why the hell would anyone not wear underwear under their pajamas unless they're going to wash the pajamas afterward? Also, why the hell is this an issue worth writing to an advice column about? Kids' mom wants them to wear underwear with their pajamas, end of story. eta: If you reload the page and scroll down and read fast you can see the whole column, and apparently this is a real thing where you let the vaginal area "breathe"?

I don’t wear undies with my pajamas. It’s not based on science or anything, it’s based on some half remembered thing I heard in my teens about having too many layers of fabric in the crotchal region encouraging bacteria and yeast, and I’ve just been free-flapping in my Jim jams out of habit ever since.
