Girlfriend (25F) got mad at me (28M) for relieving myself outside (#2) in an emergency because something upset my stomach. Not sure what to do?quote:Last week, my girlfriend (of two years) and I were out enjoying some activities and food. On our way back, my gut started turning and had some intense stomach cramps. Like, that gut wrenching, profusely sweating and gasping for air cramps. I had to pull over quickly and find a discreet spot to avoid soiling myself. Could have been worse, I guess. She could have been way too into it

trickybiscuits posted:Our bakery manager at the time found a fancy French company that produced packages of frozen zest, but she was afraid the owners wouldn’t go for it. So she prepared two batches of lemon scones to compare the fresh zest with the frozen zest… except she didn’t. She actually used the frozen zest in both batches. The owners were amazed that they couldn’t taste the difference and agreed to switch to using the frozen zest. It saved us so much unpleasant physical labor, I think back so fondly on that manager’s actions. There needs to be a 20-foot tall statue to this hero of labor.

You ever see those stories where the step parent demands they be treated as a replacement parent? The grandparents are doing that by proxy. They want nothing less than that

The child, whose feelings and opinions do not matter, is not treating their stepfather (who is THEIR child, so his feelings and opinions don't matter) with the correct exact form of respect that their elders demand. Took me a while as a kid to figure out that what adults want from you is often utterly arbitrary and has no logic to it. They want it, they want it this exact way, and they could never explain to you the logic in it.

As an IBS sufferer, I empathize with his plight and she can gently caress right off. If she can't put up with his poo poo, he shouldn't have to put up with hers.

Friend (29F) Tried To Seduce Husband (33M) Then Asked Me To Serve HER Husband With Divorce Papers, Am I Right To Feel She's Up to No Good?quote:I have this casual friend (not deeply close or anything) that I knew for a few years. Before she dropped that she was getting a divorce, the weeks leading up to it she showed a lot of interest to my husband. Wanting to come over all the time and engaging with him more often and giving him sex eyes which was just weird. Then a week later she tells me shes getting a divorce (I NEVER actually met her husband which I always thought was a little strange). Then she asks ME if I could be so kind to help her by serving him the divorce papers. I told her no. I told her, I have kids and I can't do that I'm sorry. You can get the Sheriff or hire someone to do it. She seemed upset but let it go. Then a few weeks later, she comes back to me and asks me to sign off on her WILL as a witness and told me this shouldn't be a big deal and not as big of an ask as before. I of course told her no. And she was very sour and passive aggressive with me. But now I feel deeply uncomfortable and I'm unsure what her deal is? What is she up to? These are not really normal things to ask of casual friends that you've only known for a few years right? "Hey, I know I'm after your husband and all but can you just give me your signature, oh and here's some divorce papers, you'll need to sign that they were served to my husband as well."

Mordiceius posted:Hella same. The post is recent so there are a lot of new comments, many of them sharing the astonishing information that you do not need to get your hair wet every time you shower! Also commiserating that there are many women on reddit who ask what to do about their horribly filthy boyfriends but somehow the fact that their partner's smell makes their nose burn and their eyes water is not a dealbreaker. And an army medic said that soldiers who refuse to shower may be dragged into the shower and forcibly cleaned by medical professionals like a car being detailed, because hygeine is important for disease prevention. I'm just fascinated by people who are too lazy to shower or brush their teeth. No depression, no sensory issues, just so unwilling to stand under water and rub themselves with soap that they will actually sit on the toilet for ten minutes while the shower runs and then wet their hair. I mean, THAT is lazy. quote:Dear Annie: My daughter is 8 years old and was recently diagnosed with autism. She was just diagnosed at age 7, but I have suspected she is autistic since about age 3 when she used to be severely speech-delayed. Over the years, I had suggested she was autistic to my husband several times, and his responses were things like, “She’s just a little bit behind” and ”She’s just stubborn and hot-headed like her daddy.” My concerns were always brushed off. However, he could no longer use those excuses when last year her classroom had to be evacuated due to her throwing furniture during one of her meltdowns.

AITA for being annoyed at my ungrateful (imo) girlfriend?quote:I (M19) have been thinking of presents for my girlfriend’s (F19) birthday. Last year I got her a great present off my own back, same for Christmas and Valentine’s Day. This time I’m struggling because I’ve exhausted all the great gifts I can afford to get her so today I asked if there’s anything in particular she’d like. Firstly she got annoyed that I’ve “known her for long enough” and that I should know what to get her. I explained what I said above and also made the point that when it’s been my birthday etc she’s always asked me. She claims it’s different. I felt a bit of sympathy at first, but  at this big brain genius plan to get her literally the one thing she said she doesn't want. They're technically 0.1% different from what we talked about, how dare you not appreciate my thoughtfulness!!

Post/username combo Captain Hygiene posted:AITA for being annoyed at my ungrateful (imo) girlfriend? You can ask what someone wants for present, you can tell people what present you want if asked. In fact it's often a good idea if its something expensive. But don't ever ask what someone else is getting you, it's entitled and rude. Also like that's just part of getting gifts, you don't always get exactly the thing you want. Just smile and say you love it. You're an adult, you can get exactly what you want yourself.

Why does he even want to give it to them so badly? Clearly not to make her happy. Of course he shouldn't get them for her now, now that he knows. But it was also rude of her to ask in the first place. Also the whole "you know me long enough, so you should know what I want" thing is just annoying as hell. Tell them what you'd like, or just say "I'm sure I'll love whatever you get me." Saying "you should know" and then turn around and ask what they're getting her just make this another one of those manipulative relationship tests.

Yeah but I'll argue that second point has nothing to do with anything. Sure, when you're given a gift you hate, you should probably pretend to like it unless it's heinous. But before this, she already said no Lego. The only thing he wants to give her is Lego. He was inexplicably surprised when she got annoyed he said he was giving her Lego. I dunno, maybe she pesters him about it because he can't process the simple information "No Lego means No Lego." Maybe she's just an rear end in a top hat. He's still a prick either way.

Uggghh, this is more common than you might think, I had to be the "shower watch" for a stinky kid one time, every day I had to sit there and stare at him while he showered, making sure he scrubbed everywhere and used soap, as well as brushing his teeth, that were completely covered in plaque. The first couple days, when he brushed his teeth (not flossed) he was spitting tons of blood in the sink. After a week or so a quick "you shower today man?" Was sufficient to keep his hygiene on track, thank god.

trickybiscuits posted:AITA for not taking my son to a gig because he wouldn’t shower? I just listened to the Behind the Bastards pod series on Steve Jobs. Jobs read a 19th century quack book about how get rid of mucus in your diet to purify your body and mind. This made young Jobs belive that he was pure, and didn't need to wash himself anymore. Everyone who dared told him he stank, and he was thrown out of a couple of his own meetings for showing up stinking and barefoot. He would also soak his feet in the toilet at work.

I read somewhere that the reason that the rates of suicide, substance abuse, and homeless is so high among veterans, even those that were never deployed overseas, is that the US DoD is basically the only social support system available in many parts of the US. And the armed forces end up picking up a lot of troubled young adults. While in there you get free healthcare, food, and housing, and support and routines. But once you're discharged all of that is yoinked away from you, you go right back to the life trajectory that you were on before you joined, just delayed by a few years.
