Yeah, sorry I came off aggressively. Public restrooms are just such an issue in the city and private businesses can be very selective as to who they let use them. For instance, you won't see unhoused people being allowed to use one if they even let them inside in the first place.

Even if there are restaraunts willing to let you kramer in and use their facilities it looks like OP possesses enough of a sense of shame to feel bad about doing that, and also just like, traveling and eating new foods are sure to also send her digestive tract for a loop

Clocks posted:This is just a very long post by a narcissist, which basically boils down to "ugh, you actually expect me to bother telling you when I'll grace you with my presence?" AITA for refusing to RSVP to my sister’s wedding because I’m required to write an “application essay” just to attend? quote:Yeah I know this sounds insane but I’m living in it. Top response has just shy of 58k upvotes quote:NTA. I would definitely send in two essays. The first would say “Mom/Dad said I have to come or I’m in BIG trouble” over and over again until you hit 250. The second, “I’m your sibling.”

I have massive doubts about the veracity of that post. There are very few situations in which a cheater is NTA and they basically would've involved OP not knowing that the person she was seeing was in any kind of relationship. But sure, if we take it at face value, the moment she hosed her friend's fiancé (or even entertained the flirting, which imo is still emotional cheating) then she was dealing with an ex-friend. So yeah, anytime before the wedding would've been more appropriate by that point.

Hughlander posted:AITA for objecting and causing a scene at my best friend’s wedding? Hot drat. My guesses from the title were "I objected as a joke because I'm such a hilarious prankster" or "I confessed my love to one of the bridal party", but "Maid of honor sleeping with the groom" is a step beyond that. She did (hopefully) prevent her former friend from making a horrible mistake and (hopefully) removed two giant bags of poo poo from the bride's life, so I feel that should be in OP's favor here.

StrangersInTheNight posted:The business could technically say no, but they generally don't if they don't size you up as homeless in their estimation (which is its own hosed up issue), and they certainly say it less than businesses in suburbia, where they will have people whose entire job is to make sure no one who isn't a patron gets into the toilet. I wonder if this is one of those super regional things because I've lived in small cities or suburbs for my entire adult life and never encountered a bathroom cop employee or been turned away when asking to use a restaurant or coffee shop toilet.

MK-Ultramarathon posted:Let's not sleep on this because it is hilariously insane, I love that she somehow can't mention she hosed the guy at any point leading up to the wedding, no, in the middle of the ceremony was the only possible option. This reminds me of when I was driving the other day and had the right of way, and there was a drivr stopped at a yield sign in front of me. Anyway, I see him hesitate, hesitate again and then stop until I'm practically right next to him and he pops right out in front of me, but he couldn't complete the turn so his side was totally exposed. So I slam on the horn and brakes, just inches away from absolutely T boning the gently caress out of his drivers side. It's like his brain was saying can't go, too risky.... can't go, too risky, oh gently caress this is my last chance! Gahhh!!! *closes eyes, mashes the gas pedal and hopes for the best*

tactlessbastard posted:To this day I’ve never been to a wedding that included the objections part I went to one recently and the friend/officiant doing the priest/host role briefly jokingly mentioned it in their mercifully short, sweet, and funny marriage ceremony. I literally had no time to be bored or even like I was attending an archaic ritual. Must've been less than half an hour between arriving, saying hi, sitting, and ceremony before we got to go to reception hall for drinks and food. If all weddings were like that, they wouldn't be events to dread.

Ah, now here is an update (bolding in original) AITA for not wanting my girlfriend to repay her school loans to her parents? quote:**UPDATE Reddit, with one voice: YES! You are a total rear end in a top hat, for reasons X Y and Z! OP: gently caress you, Reddit! None of you actually read my post or understood any of my points! This is a mob lynching of a strawman!!1! Yeah, the only reason one hundred people called you an rear end in a top hat was because they all independently decided to not read anything you wrote and just wanted to join a lynch mob and it is actually you who are the only sane man and 100% right about everything. That's the only possible explanation. Here's the full OP and update: quote:So my GF and I are planning to move togheder after three years of relationship, and money came up as a point of discussion. We are both fine with splitting up expenses in a 50/50 manner. We live in the EU. She is in university, I am soon to be working as a decently (but not grealty) paid government employee.

Big Bowie Bonanza posted:Yeah I’ve been to a lot of weddings recently and that’s a made up Hollywood thing I’m p sure It's not made up and still required to be included in Church of England services, but legally you have to announce your intention to marry for at least three Sundays before the wedding in order to give people change to object, so if you get through those you'll be issued a certificate to marry and the legal stuff is basically done. There are actually strict legal definitions as to why you can object: namely incest, existing marriages, or either partner being underage. If an audience member objects on any other basis the priest is allowed to ignore them and carry on with the service. It's not something that comes up much.

FMguru posted:AITA for not wanting my girlfriend to repay her school loans to her parents? Amazing. If he doesn't want to support his gf and her low salary then... break up? Don't be with her? I think dumping your gf because she's poor is pretty lovely, but monetary reasons are as good as any other to break up, especially if it's something he'd be holding over her head because he dares to buy her groceries. Instead he suggests going NC with her parents because they dared pay her through uni and she agreed to pay them back. God forbid she has a good relationship with them. quote:I told her that we, as a couple, need to make us two a priority and that I do not want to be collateral damage of her and her family irresponsible decisions. kdrudy posted:Isn't the "does anybody object" thing in weddings largely a made up thing for TV and movies and no officiant actually says that? I mean, the entire post just reads like some fanfic. Like "yeah and then actually we were super in love, and we totally hosed, and on their wedding i laid down a total and anyways am I the rear end in a top hat here?" To be fair the world is full of people who will gently caress their best friend's fiancé and possibly blow up weddings over it, so I'm willing to entertain the possibility, but like... if you're gonna be one of the scummiest people ever, don't go around trying to get absolution for it. Just own it. It's like the guy above who's being a total rear end in a top hat but wants the vindication/support of internet strangers.

Lone Goat posted:I'm in a similar boat as OP - tannish, black hair but kept short so you can't see the curls, vague last name, middle eastern, no religious signifiers (raised christian but atheist now), born here so I have a Canadian accent - and my favourite game is Guess What Ethnicity I Am. I've gotten Mexican, Portuguese, Persian, Greek, Pakistani, Marseille French (??) and loads of others I can't remember now. I get it too, though not the same race. Apparently my accent is ambiguous enough that I get “American twang” to Australian” to “just kind of international you know?”. And it would be one thing if it was just my voice code switching, but apparently my looks get me anything from Nepalese to Samoan to just East Asian (and seemingly more commonly Japanese). Even from people in my home country. Honestly I might start checking countries off a map.

AITA for denying an older woman shelter from a storm?quote:I (23F) am an avid hiker in Australia. Last week I encountered a middle aged woman, around 50 years old as I was coming off a trail. She was walking in my direction as I came out of the bush. It was strange to see her, the sun was almost down and the weather was starting to turn. also, this was an intermediate collection of trails at best, difficult even for me at worst. and she didn't look super athletic. Point is, my 'weird' radar was going off already.
