AITA for driving away without my wife because she can't plan?quote:For the past week, my wife and I had been anticipating a baseball game for which we had purchased tickets. We like baseball, but we don't attend many games, so traveling into the city to see games is a rare treat. I know, though, that it would take time to drive there and find parking, due to traffic. Because the game started at 7 PM, and we live about 45 minutes from the stadium, I told her this morning that she needed to be ready to get in the car and go by 6 PM. hope the beginning of that game was the best ten minutes of baseball you ever saw, 'cuz you just torpedoed your marriage for it

As someone that’s spent years living with a best friend that used to have zero ability to perceive the passage of time or how long it would take him to get ready (he’s gotten better over time, thankfully), the only rear end in a top hat move here was leaving without at least knocking on the bathroom door. If you’re constantly making other people late to things because you can’t plan for poo poo, don’t be shocked when they decide to stop being late because of you!

The first question I ask is "are you late for things that she organises?".

My friend's dad will show up hours late for stuff and it's so bizarre to me. When other people are involved is the only time I can actually be punctual. My friend's just learned to deal with it.

AITA for telling a bounty hunter where to find my brother when he apparently lied and listed my address on his paperwork to the bail bonds company and then skipped his court date?quote:My (22M) brother (35M) has spent his life in and out of jail. He was arrested again a couple months ago for god knows what. He posted bail through a bondsman and was released. The title was really all I needed, but nice to have some context.

ApplesandOranges posted:AITA for telling a bounty hunter where to find my brother when he apparently lied and listed my address on his paperwork to the bail bonds company and then skipped his court date? The aunts whinging about "You got your poor brother in trouble" gently caress that. OP did literally nothing wrong. He even technically didn't snitch. just said "This is not his house. He's not here. He sometimes goes to X address. Please fix your records please." If the brother had chosen anywhere else, he would still be free. I would bet the aunts are hearing a sob story about how the brother is an innocent victim, and OP set everything up. As opposed to the brother being a lying bail jumping arsehole, and OP just saying "He is not at my house, try somewhere else."

I gotta ask: outside of reddit posts, I have never once encountered or even heard of a bunch of people all piling on and "blowing up someone's phone" over poo poo that they're not directly involved in. Is this just something that reddit posters make up to add drama or justify their validation seeking, or is this really a common group/family dynamic in the US? Because it seems loving insane to me.

Arsenic Lupin posted:Do traveling salesmen, even on a business-to-business level, still exist? Sort of. Most account managers are responsible for a region, and they'll try to touch base with customers in person once or twice a year. There are probably fewer sales people doing 80%+ of their time traveling like pre-pandemic, but it's creeping back up from what I've seen. ApplesandOranges posted:AITA for telling a bounty hunter where to find my brother when he apparently lied and listed my address on his paperwork to the bail bonds company and then skipped his court date? Don't talk to police applies and then some to some random dude showing up at your door and demanding answers. The courteous thing for the brother would have been to give OP a heads up, but the family is right to get on him for not telling this person to gently caress off. Who gives out details to strangers like that? AreWeDrunkYet fucked around with this message at 07:10 on Sep 27, 2023 |

edogawa rando posted:It's not just the baseball game though, is it? Yeah, the only questionable part is him not telling her he was leaving now, and quite honestly from the rest of the story she wouldn't have listened anyway and made them late again, or if he'd actually left it would now be "How could you leave after explicitly telling me you were going to? You should have reminded me earlier!".

If she called him angry a "few minutes later" than she was ready at like 6:05 instead of 6. They wouldn't be missing anything. This idiot just said "It's 6 I'm sick of this poo poo" when they wouldn't have even been late. Went off and pouted in silence while his wife was in the goddamn bathroom without even asking if she was nearly ready. The vibe I get from his tone and behavior is that they constantly get to the movies and miss the Maria Menounoz commercials but not even the trailers, and he felt the need to "teach a lesson"

ApplesandOranges posted:AITA for telling a coworker that I have no interest in forming friendships with colleagues? I live in Germany and actually this is the traditional culture here - coworkers are coworkers, neighbors are neighbors, friends are friends, they segregate everything. For example, traditionally coworkers would address each other with the formal You. Things are changing (for the better) and anyway it was not necessarily that rigid. This guy is an extreme example of this mentality.

A bounty hunter has approximately zero authority and there’s never any reason to talk to one except to ask them to remove themselves from your property.

Bold move siding with the "avid gamer" with poor time management skills. But I repeat myself. I half joke, but like regularly being late without reason is kinda disrespectful. What you're effectively saying is that your time is worth more than the people's you're inconveniencing. It's an incredibly short-sighted move to do what that reddiot did but I do understand the frustration.

This has never happened to me, but I could plausibly see it happening to my boomer cousins who a) use Facebook and b) let Facebook send notifications to their phone. All it takes is one disgruntled person posting a "it is such a shame how family will stab you in the back" message with the right tags. Next thing you know, all the aunties are posting about how that IS a shame, kids these days just don't have values, why would you stab someone that's just rude, etc.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:A bounty hunter has approximately zero authority and there’s never any reason to talk to one except to ask them to remove themselves from your property. The brother probably signed paperwork giving both the bounty hunter and actual police the right to search his home for him if he has his bail revoked. And a lot of states give bounty hunters broad powers including the right to enter property they think a fugitive is on without a warrant. His brother set him up for a shitload of trouble by using his address.
