Back story - my husband and I had a full-term stillbirth back in 2014. We were obviously devastated. We had just gotten the room ready for her to come home and had our bags packed. We named her Jenurty (Nurtie). We post on social media at least twice a year. We had therapy in order to cope with the loss. We were numb for many months following. The families knew how bad it was for us.

This year, my BIL and SIL were pregnant with their 3rd baby. Normally they share the names they are considering, but didn’t this time. I didn’t really think much of it. I mean, we all have busy lives. Well, we found out her name from a social media post.

It’s Pnurtis. My husband and I were a little shocked, but we thought we would first say congrats and then ask what the nickname would be. They responded Nurtie. We stated that it was really close to what we named the baby we lost (super chill - not rude or confrontational) and the wife got ticked and ended up blocking us on social media over it. The BIL just said they aren’t the same names so he doesn’t understand why we are upset. They knew her name. They knew her nickname and what we called her. I just don’t understand how they don’t hear how similar Jenurty (Nurtie) and Pnurtis (Nurtie) are. And, for anyone who may suggest or make a comment that our baby doesn’t count since she wasn’t born alive, please scroll on.

The actual names are Delanie (Lanie) and Layne (Lanie)

This person did the the most considerate thing you can do being a large person on a flight by buying out the second seat. Southwest, in fact, has a program called customer of size program (flying while fat) that you can use to get two seats with preboarding.

I love how this reveals that these morons could find some cooked bacon in a desert and think "surely this is safe to eat"

The list of haram food also includes stuff like bees and a bunch of poisonous things. It's probably just to make extra sure that even the stupidest rear end on the planet won't kill themselves with food, but my imagination has replaced this with a guy stuffing bees in his mouth while yelling "There's no law that says I can't eat bees! You can't make me!".

I still think the ultimate solution is for congress to pass a passerger’s bill of rights and require seats go back to as wide as they were 30 years ago and add back a good 4-6 inches of leg room for the long-legged folks (hell even at 5’8” I feel like I don’t have enough leg room).

I'm on this flight from Madrid to Abu Dhabi (6 hours flight). There's this son (maybe 32 years old) and father (maybe 55 years old) traveling with us and they got separated from each other, so they're asking people around them if they can switch w anyone so they can be beside each other. Everyone said no. It also caused a slight delay as the flight attendants were asking what's happening with them. They were seated one row and 2 seats apart, so they can still see and talk to each other.

The whole trip they were talking loudly to one another and exchanging stuff. Waking some people up.

When we landed and was about to deplane, the dad talked to me and said 'word of advice, try to be more compassionate next time'

As much as everyone complains about airline seats, most people also unfailingly buy the cheapest seats available. Plane travelers (as a group, not everyone of course) prefer lower prices over comfort.

We're lucky this isn't the norm, because people would definitely book these seats to save $20.

The I rear-ended my roommates car last week at a stop sign last week. It was a pretty minor accident (I was going about 10 miles an hour), and it was just a slight \*bump\*. Anyways, we got it checked out and there's $2000 worth of damages to fix her car, and $1000 for the guy I hit. I wanted to use my full-coverage insurance, but they wouldn't let me as I got into the crash with a car that was not mine.

I proposed to my roommate that we use her full-coverage insurance (as that's what insurance is for and she pays about $400 a month for it), and I'll cover any/all premium costs of the insurance as well as the $500 co-pay requirement. My roommate doesn't agree to this deal. She proposed two things:

1. We use her insurance, I pay the premium cost, the co-pay requirement, AND the value of how much her car went down in the market because using her insurance will show up in the "car facts" when she sells it.

I asked her how will we know how much the car value depreciated, and she said when she sells the car next year, she'll ask the dealer how much her car value decreased due to the accident. I can't agree to this arrangement for a couple reasons. Firstly, I don't trust the dealer - wouldn't they just exaggerate the amount the car value went down to get the car for cheaper? And secondly, as I can't play any role in talking to the dealer or selling the car, I'm essentially signing a "blank check" to pay however much she/the dealer deems the car went down next year. This is too risky. What if she insists its like $5,000 next year? I'll have already agreed to pay the "decreased car value" for using her insurance. I also talked to my parents and they said that car values don't depreciate for getting into minor accidents like this one, just major ones, especially if the car is 100% fixed up. But there's nothing I can say to convince her that using her insurance won't lead to a substantial decrease in value of her car due to the accident being recorded in the car facts.

2. The second option, if I don't agree to this deal, is to pay for everything out of pocket and not get her insurance involved. This would be like almost an entire month's salary for me. It's insanely expensive, and I don't want to pay-out-of-pocket when my roommate pays $400 a month for insurance. In my opinion, insurance is exactly for moments like this, and I'm really sorry that I can't use mine, but I'm willing to pay the premium on hers.

Her argument is that I have the audacity to negotiate/argue with her when I crashed her car, and I should be apologetic and agree to handle things the way she wants to handle it.

Anyways, AITA for refusing to either of her two options, and continually trying to negotiate for using her insurance without the "car value decrease" stipulations?

Modern cars are designed to sacrifice themselves in order to cushion the occupants in the event of a collision. While this is a major improvement in crash safety, it also means that repairs get really expensive really quick.

I (29f) gave birth to my little girl three months ago and recently I would pump her breast milk that I would cool down in a cooling bowl & would always lessen in measurements when I left the room.

So, I hid my camera behind the microwave facing the breast milk bowl and I would find out that my husband (32m) was using it to add to his tea before work. I felt sicken. I couldn’t believe my eyes. So after seeing the footage, i waited until the next morning to catch him in the act.

He was pouring it when I walked it and tried to quickly hide what he was doing, until i showed him the video. He told me that it tastes way better than whole milk and has the motherly taste to it. I was grossed out to say the least. I told him that i don’t pump my breast milk for him and he should have whole milk like a normal human being.

He just acted annoyed like I did something bad. I asked him how did he even taste it in the first place, he informed me that he was curious and how it’s not the first time he had breast milk.

I just scolded him completely and told him that it was already frustrating to pump for the baby and now I find out I was pumping for his tea to have the “extra motherly taste”. He was telling me to relax and informed me that I was overreacting and being melodramatic.

AITA?
