Totbot posted:Man, some of y’all really care about the weirdest poo poo. I can’t imagine getting upset about people eating in their own bed and I really can’t imagine caring about how many beds people get in a hotel room. Just to follow up on this, my family lived through almost a year of a severe roach infestation when I was a kid because my brother was a little rear end in a top hat as a teenager who would not stop hiding dishes with uneaten food on them under his bed instead of taking them back to the kitchen. I get twitchy about food in bedrooms at all even years later. Eating in bed is an "absolutely not" thing for me. Fortunately my wife doesn't have the habit.

I had a friend like this in my teens. He hated it, but every time i came over to have a movie night or something with him I'd always start by cleaning his room. At least just removing the multi-day old plates and hidden glasses of week old chocolate milk. he'd always get huffy at first, his mom would be super thankful, and then when I was done he'd actually be participating and thanking me for doing it and vowing to start being more proactive about taking dishes upstairs himself. Depression sucks

Depression sucks Fair, I realize that post could come across as being lovely to sufferers of depression (I'm one too for the record). I will say that my brother did have mental health issues as a teen and all his life and it even contributed to his death, but depression was never one of them and he was genuinely an rear end in a top hat on top of all of it. No need to derail the newly rebooted into a discussion of my family's fun issues though. If I wanted to do that on this site I'd post a thread in E/N. And then probably log off and burn my computer. That was a good thing you did for your friend.

Trying to un-disown your child by demanding to speak to the manager AITA for calling the police on my mother for coming to my workplace? quote:I (42F) own a cafe with my husband (46M). It was passed down to us from his parents. My husband has his own career so running the cafe is my job and I love it. I used to have a purely managerial role when the kids were younger but now I like to get involved with making food/serving customers. FMguru fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Apr 2, 2024 |

Skutter posted:WIBTA for asking the staff at my gym to stop someone from recording classes? Why would you post videos of other people working out on your instagram though? Do I just not get social media? Also surprised that the gym didn't kick her out. Even my lovely former retail job had an "absolute no filming without written permission from management and PR dept chaperones" policy and this was like 2009.

Captain Hygiene posted:Gotta get it for the 'gram! Don't most gyms have a "no recording other people" policy, anyway? I don't go to any since I don't like working out in public, but that was my general perception. Yeah most do. I record a lot since my form is generally garbage and I have a coach but I'm psychotic about not bothering people and I never upload anything if someone else is in the shot. I also workout at 430 am most days so really not a lot of people at the gym

trickybiscuits posted:Anyway, the solution I found was to tell the interviewer, “Sorry about that; my dad lives here and he sometimes gets a little confused.” Not technically a lie, but it framed me as a tolerant adult who knew business norms rather than a surly teenager. That kid is going places if he can come up with a clever cover answer like that. I don't even count that as a lie - I think "confused" is accurate since he's talked to his dad, his dad acknowledged it, but he still keeps interrupting anyway. DoctorWhat posted:The spoiler here is a pro click, oh my god. Laughed like a loon. That was a great update. I was feeling kind of sad for him and even a little hopeful for her until the last bit of the update where her current situation gets explained. (Hopeful for something like she didn't really realize what she was doing, he tells her, she'd have one of those 'drat, I WAS doing that wasn't I?' moments, they'd move on with their lives).

Grace Park always reminds me of my friend's insane mid 2000's korean co-worker who claimed that "the west" only casts ugly korean actors in roles as part of a smearing and degrading campaign against the korean people. There were a few other american/canadian born actors and celebrities of korean background that he'd also rage about being so vile and ugly. How clearly "they" hand picked the most grotesque examples of korean women to present to the world. And in every case they were perfectly normal or in fact quite good looking people who just were not plastic surgeried up to to the exact and insane local korean beauty standards. He was also a borderline incel but blamed it all on being asian, specially korean, and how he was a victim of the international smear campaign against korean people.

If she's clearing PB jars and not using a spoon, it does go a fair way to explain why they're still with her. After all, a friend did land his wife by showing her he could lick the dregs out of the bottom of a Nutella jar.

Name based bullying can be intense. It's not just the first and/or middle name that should be considered, but how it goes with the last name. For example, neither name, or nickname derivatives thereof, should ever rhyme with the last name. The kid will end up with insults in the form of rhyming couplets that are easily chanted by the entire class.

Apparently, in most places, you have a grace period to change the name on a birth certificate without having to involve the courts, so Harlot mom could easily fix this.

Liam, 28 M has been my best friend since elementary school. The three of us went to the same college and during this time Ann asked me to hook her and Liam up so I did and after Ann graduated college they were married. I was the maid of honor and did everything for her so she wasn’t insecure in the fact that Liam and I were close.
