See, I got the bullshit "Naan is for wet food" schtick from the guy serving and selling the food. "You don't eat naan with [whatever delicious food I was ordering]. The hell is wrong with you, white boy? Don't disrespect my food like that."

On the one hand, I want to be respectful of this other culture and that might mean doing things the "proper" way.

OTOH, gently caress you, I'm not asking for free food, or honestly, your opinion. I'm purchasing food you are offering for sale, and paying for it. You make and sell food, I pay for and eat food. That's where our relationship ends. If I want to take that naan home and fill it with chocolate ice cream, I can do that.

This is fantastic post/av synergy

Okay I just went on a mission to settle this debate once and for all. Chicken tikka masala a burger fries and an order of naan. The non was 1.95 plus tax. My initial take was that Opie was Penny Pinching. I stand by that assessment. At first I thought the op did have a point however because none is delicious when dipped and stuff however one thing I neglected to remember was that naan is delicious on its own. So that initial assessment was way off because there's no wrong way to eat naan.

So he's wrong and a cheap mfer.

No you aren�t eating the right type of food, peasant. You need to dip it and your whole hand into the sauce trough to fully appreciate naan.

The Indian near me is $4.50 AUD for plain naan and $5.50 for garlic naan (or whatever fancy ones).

While naan is not free, it is an expense which should be budgeted for, per person.

AITA for telling our sitter that he broke our kid's heart by moving?

quote:

My wife and I have three kids and our youngest boy Logan, is 9 and is nonverbal autistic. We knew we needed help so we ended up hiring "Matty" when Logan was 5. Logan grew very very attached to him and the few times he did speak were to call out his name.

In May Matty said he was getting married and moving back to Colorado to go work for his dad. He left at the beginning of the month and since I work from home I decided to just take over whatever Matty did.

Logan is very aware that Matty is not there. He cries for him and goes around the house looking for him and calling his name. He is mourning.

Matty sent me a random text on Monday to see how Logan was doing. I sent him a video of Logan crying and calling for Matty. He asked if he could do a FaceTime with Logan and I said sure. Logan knew Matty was there but it wasn't the same. I spoke with Matty afterwards and said he broke Logan's heart by leaving. I wasn't lying. I could tell Matty was tearing up. I said but I knew you wouldn't stay forever and that's our problem.

My wife said I should apologize for being cold. I said he asked how Logan was doing and I told him the truth. There's nothing to apologize for. Plus he already quit.

AITA for telling my husband to consider another speciality?

quote:

My 30F and my husband 30M we have been together for 7 years and our top one rule is communication whenever i�m bothered by something we talk it out.

My husband is on his last year of medical school and i�ve been nothing but supportive to him, today i was talking with him regarding what speciality he wants to go into and he told me he wants OB/GYN i said oh okay and looked a little bit down.

To be honest i was annoyed when he said that so he noticed and asked me what�s wrong? I told him that it�s nothing but i don�t feel comfortable with the idea you�re going to work as an OB/GYN doctor, you will be examining females genitalias and if you love me you would consider another speciality but eventually i can�t do anything about it it�s your career eventually. He said that love me and i can�t make him choose between his work and me it�s unfair I told him it�s up to him i can�t do anything about it.

All i did here is expressed my concerns and it�s up to him what speciality he wants to go into i have zero authority. When i told my friend about the situation she called me abusive AH? Even though all i did was expressing my thoughts.

Yeah I'm sure being an OBGYN and looking at "female genitalia" all day is hot as hell. Especially when you're seeing people who are specifically coming to you because something is going wrong with their junk. Maybe the doc should go into general practitioning instead. Make a lot less money and soothe his wife's very very odd paranoia.

In which an employer thinks that ADA rights only apply if the employee says the Special Magic Words

quote:

Let�s say this new employee, Brenda, made a habit of using up all of her revolving sick/vacation leave in any given month. When approached about it by her supervisor, she claimed it was due to a medical condition where she took time off for appointments and illness. According to Brenda, her direct supervisor made a big deal out of this and told her that it shows poor work ethic. Brenda then asked if she could telework during the days in which her medical condition disables her. Her supervisor told her that she would contact me to ask about teleworking.

I did not hear anything about Brenda possibly needing accommodations until I called her into a meeting along with her supervisor to discuss her time usage a few weeks later since it had not improved. At this meeting, Brenda explained to me that she did have medical issues she was using the time for. This is when her supervisor mentioned she had asked to telework certain days, and I denied this request in the meeting because I did not feel as though it was warranted without documentation. Brenda quit after this meeting, saying that we denied her medical accommodations.

We just had the remanded hearing and I argued that she should have submitted medical documentation supporting her need for accommodations. However, the referee asked me outright if I asked for documentation, to which I could not answer yes because I have never asked an employee for documentation. Her supervisor argued that Brenda never asked for medical accommodations nor did she ever say �ADA medical accommodations� when asking to telework, so we presumed she just didn�t want to come into the office; which is why her supervisor did not come to me in the first place.

How much of the burden falls on the employee to actually learn a company�s medical accom application process, and does she actually have a case since her medical accommodation request was not denied due to no actual request being made in the first place?

quote:

Her accommodation was due to �menstrual difficulties�. To which I told her that if we accommodated that for her, we would have to do that for every woman in the office. I didn�t know the extent of these menstrual issues until the hearing where she disclosed the medical records because again, she never submitted medical documents to me. Therefore, never having formally requested any medical accommodation for us to deny.
