KartooshFace, you are not responding efficiently!

When I was a kid on holiday in Portugal, I needed a hat, so we just grabbed a baseball cap that said "sporting" on it. I thought it was just a generic hat supporting the concept of sports

I wore it to school and my Portuguese friend was very angry. Apparently "Sporting Lisbon" were his football team's deadly rivals.

But we were like 9. This guy sucks.

Football rivalries in the UK can be pretty intense. Letting the daughter get her father one from the wrong club is setting up this situation. The OP admits she considered it

picked out a blue one for him. I knew it wasn't his team but theres nothing on the actual ball, it just said the team on the wrapper.

and she would have seen this situation coming.

If the team was just on the wrapper, I would assume you throw that away so you can play with the ball right? Or does wrapper mean something other than a plastic coating to protect a toy or something?

This is pretty stupid and my bias is toward contempt for treating sports rivalries with any seriousness. But I kinda still have to judge OP the rear end in a top hat here, hinging on "I didn't know that, obviously I ignore all his sports talk." Pay attention to your SO so you know what they like! At least a little. That's like gift skills 101.

A three year old picking put a gift for dad and remembering (and caring) that dad likes blue is great. That 3yo should also not be the more mature of the two.

Team colours are pretty distinctive and very well known. It could likely mean old mate would bin the gift rather than chancing his mates seeing it when they drop around. If you don't believe it is not weirdly serious (and sometimes tied to religious or class divisions), try out your green /blue shirts in the wrong parts of Glasgow. My Aussie ruggers scarf got me kicked out of a pub in Glasgow after my first drink because someone across the bar took offence (the bar tender told me "You are probably not wanting what you are asking for, so best you leave".

OP probably got a chuckle out of the thought of her sports mad ex getting the rivalry team merch given to him by his child. Probably let the child do it just for the lols/prank factor.

I think if the OP knew that her husband was such a baby about his team she probably could have steered their 3yo towards picking the "proper" ball, but also it's a loving 3yo's gift and the guy throwing a baby tantrum over his toddler's gift is the much bigger rear end in a top hat. The fact he had to be bullied in putting on a brave face in front of his kid is stupid as gently caress and the fact he thinks his wife was doing it to spite him means there's bigger problems at play there anyway.

AITA for finding Undies that just walked into our home

quote:

I (24/F) found a pair of Calvin Klein underwear in my bed I shared with my (29/M) partner.

We had a pile of clean clothes on our floor (I know, fold the laundry, it was a long week). He had put them on the bed so our roomba didn't eat any clothes and could work in our room. I was moving the clothes so we could go to bed, and I saw these underwear that were not mine, and to my knowledge not his either. When he came into the room I told him "I found these panties, do you know who they are." He paused didn't say anything looked kinda spooked and said "No, they must be one of your friends." Weird, but could have happened we had just had a birthday party there a couple of weeks ago where people were in costumes (though they all showed up in their costumes), and a housewarming party in August. We had two friends hook up in our basement too, so easily could have been left behind from that. He told me to reach out and ask them, so I did. Meanwhile, he went from confused to angry because I asked him if he knew anything about it, he started to yell that I didn't trust him, and I said "Well not when you are yelling and getting defensive on this before we even know if they are my friend's." We went to bed.

I reached out to a total of 7 women with pictures and none of them owned up to it. I told him this and he said "What if they're embarrassed and won't own up to it." Note: all of these women have been in my life and understand how this could break a relationship and would not do anything to jeopardize it. We would honestly laugh and say something like "My bad, those are mine." I can say that with 1000% certainty.

Throughout the day I was in bed, napping, crying, and processing because it was early morning when I had heard back from everyone. He was out of bed bright and early and would come in and be sweet saying "We will figure it out" I would tell them no one has owned up to it, and then he would get pissed. I asked him "Are these yours, like are you cross-dressing?" he said, "Absolutely loving not." I said "Okay well did you f*ck someone" Then he gets irrationally mad and starts yelling about how he would never do this." I just start crying and try to explain that I just want answers and underwear doesn't just appear. I asked him to help me think of people and he got pissed and told me that was my job. This all made me feel he was hiding something or someone. The only times he has been alone in the house is Thursdays each week when he works from home and I am in the office, I also went to Vegas for 3 days over Labor Day weekend, and then within October, he went on a work trip for 1.5 weeks. So there could have been time.

He is always worried about me cheating, and checking my phone and laptop so I went through his because he does it to me and there was nothing. He ended up calling his sister and she said I was immature and didn't know or love him if I didn't blindly trust him.

EDIT FOR MORE INFO We live alone, just us. In a house, with a washer and dryer that we just got brand new 2 months ago. Also, I wash the sheets weekly, it was found in clean clothes put on the bed.

What do I do? AITA?

When I was a kindergartener in Wisconsin there was a little holiday book/trinket fair for kids to buy gifts for their parents. I knew my dad watched football so I got a little Packers football zipper tag for him. When he opened it he thanked me and put it right on his jacket where it stayed until the jacket was totally worn out.

What I didn't realize at the time was that my dad despises the Packers. He managed put that sports hatred aside because it was a gift from his son and he isn't a massive piece of poo poo like the guy from the story.

Yeah, here's an instance where having picky kids pays off. As kids, my sister and I wouldn't eat any chocolate with nuts or coconut in them, certain flavors of lollipop--- eeww! So mom got all the Mounds, peanut M&Ms, pineapple candy, etc. My sister disliked dark chocolate, so I'd trade her my milk chocolate for that.

Honestly one of the best parts of trick or treating for me was the post-game time when we got home, dumped our pillowcases full of goodies out, and all sat around the haul, making trades like some magic candy bazaar.

Finding someone else's panties doesn't make any sense to me as a thing that happens. Like, after the sex is over and you've cleaned up, you would put your clothes back on, right!? People put their clothes back on! So how do people leave their underwear places? They just leave with no underwear on and didn't notice?

AITA for asking my new boyfriend to buy more Halloween candy because his niece took all of mine?

quote:

On Saturday I hosted an adults only Halloween wine night. Most of my friends have children and they look forward to having a night away. We put on a scary movie, paint or carve pumpkins, drink wine, and eat snacks. My new boyfriend of 2 months said he was bringing his sister to join which I was excited about because I’ve only ever met her in passing twice but she’s around my age and seems really nice. She has 2 children so I specifically reminded my boyfriend it was adults only. Of course she shows up with her daughter who is 10… I love kids but this night specifically is meant for and planned for adults. I don’t have children so my house isn’t even kid friendly.

Anyways, his niece saw my trick or treat setup and got excited to get some candy. I told her she could pick one but told her it was for trick or treaters (her mom was standing right there) and then we went back to enjoy time with the adults. I even told my boyfriend I was annoyed she brought her daughter but I didn’t want her kid to know (it’s not the kids fault). One of my friends even made a comment that she paid for a sitter that night to have adult time. My boyfriend’s sister and her daughter finally left around midnight and I continued hanging out with my friends.

While I was cleaning up I realized all of the Halloween candy was gone. Not one piece left (for reference it was 2 huge bowls from the Costco bags so over $100 of Halloween candy). I asked my friends if they noticed anything and they said the little girl kept walking up to it but they thought she was just trying to get the scarecrow to scare her. I asked my boyfriend and he literally said, “if you didn’t want her to have it you shouldn’t have put it out”. It wasn’t out! It was sitting close to the back door so on Halloween I can just move it outside before I get home from work. Once I get home I then bring it in and pass out the candy myself. I asked him if he’d go to Costco and get more candy since his niece took over $100 worth of candy without her mom or him watching her or telling her not to do that. He said no and again that it was my fault I put it out so his niece didn’t know. We’re 2 months into our relationship and never had any actual issues. Very happy but this just seems selfish and rude. My friends just sided with me so I’m asking for unbiased opinions.

2 months and $100 isn't much sunk cost, at least

That's loving textbook. He's cheating, or cheated, and will again. Even on the infinitesimal chance that's not true, it's the biggest most terrible red flag this side of violence.

That's something that always amuses me in these stories of infidelity, the person who's cheating gets so paranoid that their partner is cheating on them as well. Like if it's fine for you to do to them, should be fine for them to do to you. But it's never ever the case.



AITA for being hurt that My (22, F) boyfriend (23, M) doesn't want to rate me and for keep asking him?

I know I am not the most beautiful girl on earth. I know that he finds me attractive. There are things he finds beautiful about me (like my eyes, smile, lips, cheeks, neck) but there are also things that he doesn't like (I asked) like my big forehead, that I am too skiny, my jawline etc. However, he shows me love and kindness and makes me feel appreciated daily!

I asked him multiple times to rate me and he doesn't want to. I know that I am not a 10 for him, but it still hurts me that he thinks that as well. I know that is childish to ask for our partner to consider us a 10 but still, I want to be the most beautiful girl for him and I am not...

Am I toxic and insecure? AITA?

Because the hope is that they are cheating on you because at least then you're both just as bad and if you can find out about their cheating first then you win.

I was a bit confused because I associate Calvin Klein with briefs/male underwear but I think these were women's underwear, so if her boyfriend said they were his he'd probably have to lie about being a crossdresser or have other weird questions to answer and he seemed pissed off about that insinuation when she asked. Anyways, hopefully reddit set her straight about him being an rear end in a top hat cheater and she dumps his rear end.

But I must also admit I'm confused about the scenario in which someone just leaves their underwear behind.

Part of being a sports fan parent is watching the game, your kid coming up and asking “Who do you want to win?”, you answering “The guys in the white shirts”, and then replying “Okay! Then I’ll be the blue team!” as they excitedly sit next to you. Most of the time they forget afterwards. The rest of the time they end up as a Golden Knights fan. :negative:

"Insecure man pilots his entire relationship into a cliffside because he'd rather his girlfriend think he's cheating than know he's cross-dressing" is a plotline I've seen at least once before, so.
