I think it's assholish to have a dry wedding and surprise people with that fact. If it had been made clear in advance then the couple would not have been TA. Whether OP may or may not be an alcoholic is irrelevant imo. I'd be miffed too if I spent, say, an extra $200 that I didn't have to, for a nice hotel room + uber or whatever.

The only dry wedding I have ever been to was a super awkward christian one. The ceremony included the phrase "marriage is a room and the only exit is death." The main thing I remember though is I had just had an ostomy reversed and I started farting halfway through the ceremony and it was the first time in 7 months I had farted and I almost cried with joy

Had a similar thing happen at my fundie cousin's wedding. The dry wedding part was a surprise, too. If I'm going to sit through two hours of your nutjob theology you could at least pay for me to get drunk afterward.

I really don't endorse that generally but holy poo poo the ceremony was so bad. Just nonstop fundie wedding poo poo

Post poste posted:I think pre-planning being drunk enough that you can't drive is a bit of a problem, or is that just a normal drinking thing now? That's literally how adults drinking plan to drink bc after one you should've driving. If you're drinking as an adult and it's a place you drove to, you either get a DD or you find a way to stay until you're sober. OR you stay sober. But to me there's....no scenario where you drink more than one drink and then drive.

AITA for putting my daughters dolls in storage?quote:My daughter 14 collects porcelain dolls, they are creepy. I don’t understand it but they make her happy, I have a two younger kids 12 and 9. They hate these dolls but she is told to keep them in her room mostly and not leave them in the common areas. It’s summer and all the kids are home

Thanks all for the update! I'm not from a strong drinking culture, and none of my friends drink at all, so I was unaware of the customs of drinking.

When me and my brothers were kids, we made a sort of dummy out of walking sticks and clothes that sat in a chair in the darkest corner of the top landing. My older brother made a paper face with dead black eyes and an impossibly wide smile. When she was assembled "Chairy McLary" was legit so terrifying, we all ran into one bedroom and started shouting for help. A minute or so later, we heard our mum come running up the stairs yelling at us to stop making so much noise. She got halfway up the second flight, shrieked "Jesus Christ!" and ran away back downstairs. Sometimes, the scary is so bad it even scares the scarers.

Kitfox88 posted:Have you posted about this before in this or another thread because I swear to god I have read a story about someone crying at a wedding because they finally farted on SA before and I wanna read it again now It was definitely me. The long story is I spent a year having serious complications due to Crohn's and ended up having emergency surgery that resulted in a foot of intestines being removed. Had an ostomy from October 2004 to June 2005, scheduled the surgery for like a week before the wedding because I wanted to hang out with the other climbing guides I worked with there. Pretty much left the hospital and drove back to where the wedding was and literally halfway through the wedding I started farting for the first time since October. Not sure why but farting again felt like it meant I was finally turning a corner with everything and I got really choked up. B-Rock452 fucked around with this message at 19:48 on Jun 25, 2023 |

Apparently farting is how you know your digestive system is working as intended after surgery. Although I had a doctor tell me that my appendix was fine since I could fart, but it was very much not fine and I almost died.

Leaving porcelain dolls, of all things, around younger siblings, seems like maybe not the most well thought out plan.

AITA for breaking my lease due to my roommates obsession with ferrets?quote:I (24M) just moved to a new city with a roommate (27M) I met online. We had spoken for months before this and seemed to have a lot in common. He told me ahead of time that he had a ferret named Lucky. He sent me a lot of videos and pictures and overall she seemed like a cute pet. I’ve heard bad things about ferrets, but I ignored them because my roommate seemed cool and Lucky was adorable. In person, she was even cuter so I didn’t think much about it.

I am sure I was farting in the hospital before getting discharged but I had also had a serious reaction to some pain med during my first surgery so I was pumped up on so much stuff I legit don't remember anything from the hospital stay

StrangersInTheNight posted:But to me there's....no scenario where you drink more than one drink and then drive. This is also my never fail adult life rule for drinking and it's never steered me wrong. It's a rock solid decision point where you can make alternative plans before you're too far gone. Also, I don't think this necessarily applies to the OP, but as a kid haver I have very few opportunities to socialize. If I'm getting a babysitter I'm going to want to drink.

Pulling a prank on the siblings once or twice is one thing, constantly doing it all the loving time forever is a whole different kettle of fish. You'd think she'd figure that one of her dolls being biffed and broken would lead her to knocking it off, yet here we are.

The dolls thing is kind of funny as a bystander in like a "oh haha it's like horror movies, creepy dolls lol!" way but it's also traumatizing/making the young kids uncomfortable which is really a form of bullying. If she was breaking their stuff or taking their snacks or pushing them around it'd be kinda obvious that she'd need to knock it off.
