AITA for getting an entire table for myself after my husband and his mom didn't save me a seat?quote:I'll start this off by saying that I, f32 have been with my husband Bob, m39 for 3 years, married for one. His mom has a habit of keeping me out of most of their functions with the excuse of "you work too much". Not true because sometimes I do make myself available but yet find myself excluded. This is literally some Shadowrun poo poo where Megacorps embarrass employees by making them go to business meetings and refuse to provide a seat at the table. Also, great work there, hubby!

For a while I thought the lyric was "I wish I was Jessie's girl." Somehow back in the 90s when I thought "gay" was a perfectly fine perjorative to use for anything and everything, that seemed nonnotable and I just took it at face value.

Das Boo posted:Boy, I feel that. My dad's mom abandoned him/his dad died before I was born, so there's one set out. My mother's mom was basically the manipulative money-grubber the Reddit OP talked about. My mom's dad was an absolute sadist and abusive in every possible way. They taught me that sometimes a person's death really can make things better. I'll never forget my observation working retail that 70% of old ladies were nasty bitches with coal in their hearts. Easily the worst customers. But the OTHER 30%.... were the best people on earth period. The sweetest imaginable grannies. Grape fucked around with this message at 08:13 on Jul 25, 2022 |

I worked at Walmart stocking shelves and you're wrong. Less popular food items (like powdered BBQ flavoring) can easily fall through the cracks if not rotated correctly by the understaffed department manager. But regardless I thought we were supposed to talk about the content of the posts, not invent material based on nothing.

Why is it that about a third of the posts here talking about kids reference twins? As far as I can tell from google, the rate of twins is about 1/250. So I guess somehow having twins makes it more likely that you will have some kind of family drama???

I am definitely in the "a working sex life is essential to a healthy relationship" camp, but it's been like two months since she gave birth and the dude is choosing the nuclear option. They have a kid together, so not having more of a long term perspective is really weird.

My girlfriend (27F) is extremely upset with me (28M) because I used a pregnancy testquote:Okay so about a month ago someone on reddit mentioned that if guys use a pregnancy test, it can help determine if they have cancer and it was on my mind all week. I just had so many questions. Is there a correlation between cancer urine and pregnant urine? Does the pregnancy test think the baby is cancer? If cancer cells spread in a unique, does it become a baby? I was questioning my whole life.

AITA for eating at a restaurant late?quote:I dined into a restaurant last night with my wife at around 9:54 pm. They close at 10:00pm. My wife wanted to do togo but I insisted we sit because they’re still open. The server was very rude the entire time. We didn’t even stay that long, until around 10:35 pm. My wife gave me the silent treatment the whole way home and I asked why she said you can’t dine in the late. What’s the point of being open til 10 then?

Solkanar512 posted:AITA for getting an entire table for myself after my husband and his mom didn't save me a seat? I can't wrap my head around this one (more so than usual), what's the restaurant set-up? Surely when MIL booked, she booked x number of seats for x number of guests, not x number of seats for y guests and it's a free for all? If there was a spare table going why couldn't the restaurant just squeeze in another chair? I know the obvious answer to this is "MIL purposely booked 1 less seat so OP couldn't come" but OP is talking about it so casually it makes it sound like the meal is at a Mcdonald's or something without table service and chairs bolted to the ground? Whorelord posted:My girlfriend (27F) is extremely upset with me (28M) because I used a pregnancy test Lol. This is 100% someone who's told the lie so much they've started to believe it themselves.

I don't know. When the aggressor is your wife and the victim are your ex-wife (who you co-parent with) and kids I think you need something a little more than blocking/muting.

If there was a spare table going why couldn't the restaurant just squeeze in another chair? There's a lot unsaid in this one. Sometimes she manages to make it to things? Is that every time she says she will or sometimes when she says she'll make it she ends up showing up? When did they book the table if you're showing up at 8? A lot of restaurants won't even sit a party unless they're all there, but I'd expect everyone to clearly communicate "we can't book you a seat because you never show up for things, and when you do it's hours late" or if that isn't the case try to accommodate by moving dinner to 8. This is a couple that clearly hates each other and doesn't want to be around each other, I'm not sure why they're still together other than inertia or that they like having the other to make passive aggressive digs at. Whorelord posted:My girlfriend (27F) is extremely upset with me (28M) because I used a pregnancy test There are two options here. Either this is all earnest or this is a guy trying to cover up his cheating and use reddit to reinforce his absurd lie. In either case, this is actually the stupidest person on earth.

Re: returning food at Wal-Mart. It's very likely she didn't have the receipt for the items in question (understandable). The issue is that food items without a receipt are not supposed to be exchanged for cash because there's no way of knowing whether or not they were purchased with EBT/WIC. She mentioned that they were past the return period which makes it ambiguous as to whether she had a receipt but most people don't keep grocery receipts that long and she probably told them when she bought them and that combined with the expiration dates were probably why the return period was an issue with the supervisor/manager. The dollar amount is small enough that normally they would just give her the money to get her out of there but stores generally stand pretty firm on not giving back cash for food without a receipt in order to avoid getting in trouble with the state for facilitating benefits fraud. (I understand that , although I think benefits should just be cash to begin with). Source: I've worked as retail and grocery manager for many years. Also, loving lol at past date peanut butter and spices being "dangerous". Peanut butter has so much fat that it stays good well past the date and spices just lose their flavor.

Blocking someone won't do anything when they're not pushing them for you.

Larry Parrish posted:i'd like to point out that as a former security guard, that's both not what the job is and it's actually illegal. the most you can do in basically any jurisdiction is ask people to leave, and if they don't you count as a proxy of the property owner for purposes of say, a trespassing charge. that's it. yes, even armed security guards- the only reason those exist is because they look scarier, nowhere that I'm aware of is anyone employed as one allowed to actually use their weapons. anything besides following someone and threatening to call the cops is going to get you in hot loving water. this is also why the job pays so little, because you're gonna get fired if someone does steal or vandalize something. you exist as ablative armor so the employer can tell his insurance company it wasn't his fault. Incredibly convenient that you cut out the second part of my post that says: Motronic posted:Sounds like this dude's job is like most building security guards: walk around a couple times a night, check that public facing doors and gates are locked/latched, watch the cameras the rest of the time. Part 2 of either aspect of that job is to call the police when necessary. It's not hard, but it's a job with expectations that aren't "gently caress off and smoke weed while the residents pay you for poo poo you're not doing." I get it if you want to argue over whether any of that counts as "protecting" anything, but try to WelL AckSUHally a little better. Midnight Voyager posted:Her mom's telling her how much to eat, that's weird and controlling. You eat until you're full generally, going "no, EAT MORE" is weird. They're not eating dinner until 10 PM, the kid is getting harassed for being hungry before that, I'm sure the husband is also. It's not clear how and when dinner was ready because it was offered instead of a snack. Why aren't they eating dinner if dinner was ready? If her kid has any sort of eating disorder I think it's pretty easy to find the source.

Likewise, he wants to have a couple kids at some point and he made the right move to cut when it became obvious that's just not going to happen. There's plenty of other women that want kids, he should go be with one of them.
