Woooooah hold on you know how people were just assuming Tina was dead?

Holy poo poo. So she's just...literally missing, and the first reaction from her brothers is "we need a replacement sister"? That's alarming as hell on several levels. What were they gonna do, dress her up like Tina and pretend nothing happened?

Has anyone asked her who told her the ring was flushed...

Dad finds ring on child, scolds child, pockets presumably insured ring and spins a little extra yarn.

I've never tried to flush a ring but DIY experience tells me small metal objects like screws etc tend not to get around a ubend. Maybe British flushes are inferior to the contraptions required to flush the mighty American Turd.

Nah, the Ubend/p-trap is there for exactly this reason, afaik. So...yeah, either they got into the bathroom just as the kids dropped the ring in the toilet and flushed, or someone's telling her the ring got flushed.

Either way, she should definitely sue because while ESH (a 30k ring, that you never made sure was insured?!), the kids were supposed to be supervised and the ring was put somewhere they weren't expected to be able to get into. They're lucky the 4 year old didn't decide to try and swallow it.

AITA for not giving my engagement ring back to my ex?

r/relationships: I admit to some fault (I was unfaithful)

Oof. That's going to be a hard one. Legally, since they got married, the ring is hers. But it's an heirloom, which complicates matters. The best option would be to just give it back, if she doesn't have the money for a legal battle over it.

Glasses. Of Water.

On the floor???

A former roommate used to leave glasses of water all over the house, including squirrelled away behind the bed. At least a few were on the floor or in places where the cats could knock them over. And yet it somehow was never her fault when we either had no glasses to use, or needed to clean up broken glass or puddles of water when the inevitable happened.

Drove me nuts.

Peyote Panda posted:

I wonder if the husband "forgot" to insure it as that would likely mean taking it to an appraiser as part of the process and the ring is not actually worth anything near what OP was told.

Flashing back to a bit on the Drew Carey where he's shopping for an engagement ring and it's becoming clear they're all way out of his price range so the seller suggests that he get a "diamondelle" ring.
"What's a diamondelle?"
"See that window over there?"
"Yeah."
"That's a huge diamondelle."

Possible. My ex and I got my jewelry appraised, so it could be insured, and the appraiser was so very careful about how he worded explaining that a few of my pieces were, from a monetary perspective, just costume jewelry. "I'm sure they have a great deal of sentimental value, but to replace them would only be a couple hundred dollars" is what I remember being told. Which is about what I expected for a string of lapis beads that my parents got me when I was 13.

The prequel for anyone wondering:

I (M18) think I messed up my chances with a girl I like (F18). How do I apologize?

quote:

Throwaway for obvious reasons. Everyone in this situtation is a high school senior for context. I tried posting this is another sub but it wouldn't let me so hopefully this works.

I go to a "career-readiness" high school. This basically means that they offer carrer-foccused programs that give student's a head start and college credits. They offer things like a nursing program, cullinary program, business program, and film program (and others). You basically pick a program (you can change it if you end up not liking it) and you take this program for 1 or 2 years (they have different requirements).

There is a girl "Faith" who I really like. I've had a bit of a crush on her for a while and while we do hang out some times and talk (we have 2 classes together and mutual friends so she eats lunch with us sometimes) we are not super close. I've been trying to get to know her more because I want to ask her to prom. Her best friend "Simon" is a friend of mine as we are on the soccer team together.

Faith is in the film program which I knew. The film teacher is my homeroom teacher so I am in that class after lunch (homeroom period) and Faith sometimes comes in and works in one of the back rooms (there is a sound-proof recording room, another small office-like room, and a "green room"/sound room towards the back of the class).

On Monday, my friends and I were sitting in the green room where there are a few tables with chairs. One of the tables had this box on it that had been painted/colored on. It had a few random scribbles on it, and some pieces of trash were stuck to the bottom inside part of the box (it was like a box on it's side with no lid/top, and a missing side on the top if that makes sense), and it just looked like people had been drawing on it/messing with it.

While I was with my friends, I started picking at the box. I peeled away some of the bits of trash/wadded up paper that had been stuck to it, and I was just drawing some more random symbols on it (plus some inappropriate ones because I thought it was funny--- immature, I know).

Anyway, I saw Faith come in as usual, and she went up to one of the other back rooms and came down with some equiptment that she set down on another table. I was waiting for her to organize all her stuff so I could say a quick hello.

She left again, and came back and then she screamed "what the gently caress are you doing?!" from behind me which scared me so I turned to see what was going on. She was crying and she looked really upset. I asked her what was wrong and she shoved me aside and started to pick up the trash from the box as she kept crying. After a few seconds of us asking her what was going on she yelled again and said "You ruined it!"

The film teacher came in to see what was going on and made us step out of the room while he tried to calm Faith down. After a few minutes he went to his phone to make a call and Faith kept crying in the room. Simon (who is my homeroom) ended up going into the room to talk to her and I could hear her telling him that "it was ruined" and "he drew all over it and ripped it up". Simon came out and asked me what my problem was and told me that I had ruined Faith's set.

At this point, I was confused and a school security guard came in and my teacher said I was being escorted to the office for destroying another student's property. I got in trouble and got detention for two weeks. After school I got to talk to Simon who told me that the "box" I had been messing with was actually a set that Faith had designed for a stop motion animation film that she was working on. Apparently, she had won the state film festival last year, and was trying to win nationals this year so that she could get a full ride scholarship the school of her choice (which was the grand prize).

He said she had been working on the set for months and that it had been moved down to the green room because it was easier to set up the equipment down there since it was bigger than the office. I offered to help fix it but he said there was no point since she would have to remake the whole set and restart her film since she had already filmed a portion of it and the set would not match up. He said she was really mad because judging by the amount of time it had taken to create the set and film what she currently had, there was no way she would be able to finish it in time for the deadline and she had been sent home because she was sobbing over the fact that she missed her chance at the scholarship.

I feel really bad, but I also don't know anything about film or stop motion so I'm not sure if she's just being a bit dramatic because she is so upset (which would be understansable). I want to make things right between us but she is really mad at me and has been avoiding me and even asked our math teacher to let her sit at the back of the class so she didn't have to be near me. I'm thinking of offering to stay afterschool with her everyday and help her with the set but I don't know how to do that if she won't talk to me. How can I get her to hear me out or at least allow me to apologize?

TLDR: I accidentally ruined a girl's project. She's really angry with me and I'm not sure how to fix this.

I remember being in a photography class, and the student tech there really liked a picture I had taken. He asked if he could use it for one of his layered photos, and I was fine with it, as long as he didn't submit it to the local art contest. He used the picture with his others in a project, and it looked really good. So good that the teacher took it and submitted it for him, and iirc, he won the contest.

I was so pissed I didn't speak to the student tech for the rest of the year. He had had plenty of chances to get the picture out of the contest but only mentioned that after he won.

Similarly for some dumbass mosaic project in my AP lit course, I remember doing a pretty nice piece, and the teacher waited till I was out of the room to use my piece for demonstration as to how to pour the medium in between the cubes. She didn't have good aim. The project was ruined, and I was told it was a passing grade anyway so don't be upset.

For the fucker who purposefully damaged the artist's project? No jury would convict her.

AITA - Wife bought new car without consulting me

quote:

So my wife inherited $100,000, and before the check had even cleared the bank had picked out a $38,000 car to buy, and then purchased it today, the second the check cleared. It's obviously her money, and in the end she can do what she wants with it as she's made it clear that it is her money...

But am I in the wrong to be mad and considering divorce because she left me totally in the dark about it and didn't even have the consideration to ask what I thought or to let me look around with her? It also seems incredibly stupid and short-sighted to me to have blown a third of her inheritance on a new car, when we have 2 perfectly fine and working vehicles already?

That money could have done a lot else for our family, even make even more money, and instead it lost a lot of its value the second she drove it off the lot.

I'm going to be honest. I know it's not unusual to consider these stories fake but a lot of the more recent ones are starting to feel AI written. For example that one with the guy who screwed up his crushes drama thing has the same tone and format as a lot of the ones I've been generating for fun over the last two weeks. Kinda sucks because I knew that a lot of the stories were false but lovingly crafted by people who get off on reddit glory but now about 30% of them are starting to look all the same, spun out in a couple of minutes with ChatGPT.

quote:

Okay so for clarification. Am I stupid� a little I was never the smartest but I can still count I just lose count easily. Or just see wrong numbers at times but I�m fine if I really focus. Just not in loud places /bright places/when someone is touching NOW MOVING ON.

This literally just happened a few hours ago. (Sorry for poor grammar like I said I�m not the smartest don�t judge me)

So I�m at work and my manager ask me to cover my co workers break. Since it�s slow she send both the person at self check out and previous person at register on break. I can handle both at the same time unless it gets to crowded.

Well now I�m on register 2 people come in my line I ring up the first guy and 2 more people come.

There are now three people in my line I ring up this man�s stuff it totals 28.67. Now before you ask how I know it is exactly that amount I read it 10 times. Why? Because the guy had a nerve to pass me a bag of straight coins. There were only 4 quarters that I can see at the top the rest was dimes pennys and nickels and I think Chucky cheese tokens. Now like I said I can count but I�m not the best when it comes to thousands. Because I know despite not doing that math it would definitely be more then a thousand penny�s!

Then I see a lady with a full cart in and baby come up and suddenly self check out is full. At least 3 lights going off. And more people are now in my line. The guy behind him is eyeing me. I know that guy all he gets is cat food and tomatoes. He�s deaf so we have communication issues at times but I can at least sign hi to him. He was going to pay for him. I didn�t want him to because like I said he always getting tons of food for his cat and surviving on tomatoes plus he pays EBT and I know from his last purchase he should only have a little less then 100 left on that card. He�s a sweet potato that deserves to just live life freely with him and his cat (he�s shown me pictures it�s fur is short). Sorry ranting but yeah I wasn�t going to let him waste his last bit on this man.

So I pulled out my phone paid handed him the receipt. My line was down a aisle at this point. He got upset demanded a refund because he�s not poor.

My exact words �never said you were poor but you should probably take those coins to a coin star.�

He got more upset and slapped a 50 dollar bill down on the counter and yelled at me that he had money.

So I asked him why pay with coins like this if you can go to a coinstar or even use the larger bill.

He got his refund my manager came and hopped on a register with me to help him. I got my money back (at least I will in 5-7 business days)

Was a I wrong.

FYI all this happened within a short span of time I can�t tell you the exact minutes but I swear every time I blinked it�s like people were emerging from random places I didn�t even know we had that many people in the store.

gently caress customers who try to pay with coins in a bag. dude was probably running a scam, or betting a busy cashier wouldn't count out the loving coins.

I've done this, many times, for similar reasons. Usually only for $5 or less. Someone might have been a little offended but I was usually too busy to notice. The real problem is it's usually against policy so OP could face consequences.

Worse is someone trying to pass a bad check on a huge transaction, and you know full well it's not going to work. The check reader scans the account and routing number and verifies everything so they're just wasting everyone's time. I was openly hostile with scammers about this a few times but never got shot.
