Reminds me of an old favorite:

My new boyfriend cannot receive a blowjob like a normal human being

quote:

Before I begin -- I know this is going to sound like a joke, but please trust that it is real. You can be as skeptical as you want, but I'm the one who has to live out this nightmare.

I [24f] have been dating this new guy [26m] for the past 3 months and it's been going swimmingly. He's charming, funny, not a slob (important), we click, yada yada. The sex is also passionate and usually really good. His head game is on point and I reciprocate often. When giving him a blowjob he is vocal, which can't be said for many guys.

There is only one issue. He has a very "memey" sense of humor, which I generally enjoy. When I'm going down on him, he'll squirm and moan, but will only say variants of

Give me the succ

In the past 3 months I have kept mental note of all of these variant interjections. They include but are not limited to

She succ me
She succ me through my boxers
She succ me with no clothes on
Succ baby succ
I get the succ
All aboard the succ train
How to get the succ
I'm like the Zucc but I get more succ
60 minutes of succ
Succy succy long time
Fat succ
She want to fucc but first she succ
drat she fine when she succ
Deep succ
She succ me to Mars
She succ me to Antarctica
She succ me underground
Gimme dat first-class succ
She got a masters in succ
She got a PhD in succ
Succ as a second language
Suh Succ me like a hungry baby
Succ me into an existential crisis
Gimme dat succ-out-of-jail-free card
Succ at a 100
The first rule of succ club is give me the succ

I swear this is all he will say. If you don't believe me, I failed nearly every creative writing class in high school so there is no way I could've come up with all that poo poo. At first I thought it was the funniest thing on the planet. It's still funny. But it's hard to do my job when I can't stop cracking up. It's getting to the point where I can't really give him oral anymore because I start cackling even before we begin.

I kind of want him to stop because it's getting old, but then he will pull out some new outlandish phrase and grin devilishly as I struggle to pleasure him without choking on my own laughter. It's interfering with our foreplay at this point. We've spoken about it outside of the bedroom and he doesn't seem to take it seriously because I can't confront him about it without breaking down into bouts of laughter. And I kind of don't know if I want it to stop because it's so god drat ridiculous.

Please help me figure out if this is becoming a problem or if I've entered some sort of succ twilight zone that bestows immortality.

Stop blowing him every time he says something and either the problem will quickly solve itself, or you won't have to give blowjobs but will still get what sounds like some decent sex for less effort.

I don't even know what to think regarding this one. :psyduck:

AITA for my not stopping taking a poo poo for my grandma?

quote:

Not sure if this qualifies as nsfw, but I do talk about medical history and bathroms and stuff so idk LOL

For context, my (F17) grandma (F62) has had some health problems in the past few years. She's been diagnosed with diabetes, and last October just gotten a toe partially amputated because of it. Her recovery, however, has been great. She's back to the point where she can walk normally and regularly around the house, my grandpa has gotten her special shoes for walking, and by December she was able to travel outside, she seemed to be doing good.

Today, I came home from school and saw she was taking a nap on the couch. I went on the computer for a couple hours, then went to the bathroom to yk, poo poo. After like a minute I hear slamming on the door, my grandma saying "LET ME IN." I responded that I was using the bathroom and she yelled back she didnt care and to open the door. I said something like "bruh one second" the toilet is far from the door, so I finished making GBS threads and opened the door before I washed my hands so she could go into the toilet/shower part of the bathroom (?) but she didnt come in.

When I walked out she came storming out the bathroom down the hall saying she could've had an accident and she would made me clean it up, and that she knew I wasnt actually using the bathroom. Obviously I asked what she meant, and she went "I heard you were humming, I know you were practicing for your stupid choir in there." Atp I just laughed because thats ridiculous, and she stormed off.

Later my Grandpa knocked on my door and started lecturing me about how she could've had an accident and how I should've been quicker. The time from the knocking to me opening the door must have been no more than 30 seconds, and I pointed that out and how there was a second bathroom 2 doors down. Then he said that this was my biggest problem, I lacked respect and should have jumped up to let her in due to her recent injury, checked on her before I went in, and most definitely not laughed at her lecture.

Now I feel like I should've done more for her? Was I the rude one here? She's seemed fine for months, and I stopped regularly caring for her because she's said she wants to be more self sufficient. Should I apologize? Or just leave it?

That and these mostly aren't people that want a smartphone and don't have one, they're people that choose to not have one. So that makes the statistic negligible in this context.

It's like saying "Holy poo poo almost 100% of the people in the study I did don't have phones at all!" Then you find out the study was about babies. Of course they don't.

Same. I'm also not a fan of OP for trying to stay neutral; cajoling other people to be the 'bigger person' is easy when you're not the one all of this poo poo is being said to. "I know he smashed your insecurity with an overhead sledgehammer swing within ten seconds of meeting you but please, be the bigger person, just let it go and let him win so I don't have to deal with all of this anymore." gently caress that and gently caress you, OP, that's how bullies keep getting away with their bullshit.

I'm all for using technology for making life easier but removing the ability to just walk in, look at a menu/goods, and handing the establishment cash is straight up creating barriers. Technology should be an option and can even be the preferred option but there needs to be a bare minimum that should be required and it's the one that's existed for over 1000 years.

No, I'm agreeing with the previously-posted fact that statistics have to be looked at more closely. As it was noted, a good portion of the people not using smartphones are people that don't want them, like the elderly. You can't just say 27 million US people don't have smartphones without looking at the reasons.

I hate the QR code menus just as much as everyone else. They suck, but you can always have a server bring you a menu or tell you what's on one using their phone.

The lack of physical maps is also stupid. It's like the way car companies are making the fix-it manuals only digital now. Like who tf wants to bring a tablet into a garage instead of a book that can be marked and whatnot?

Anyway I shouldn't have even gone into this, because it's a dumb derail. Again, let's laugh at bad relationships instead.

We have a word for this already and the word is "given." "Gifted" isn't shorter or easier to say. It makes it sound like the author never learned how to conjugate the verb. That's forgivable for the ESL posters, but it bugs me coming from the otherwise-fluent.

AITA for listening to worm music?

quote:

Recently I discovered worm music and i’m addicted to it. I listen to it all the time. I introduced some of my friends to worm music and they all love it too. The only person who doesn’t like it is my mom. when i put on worm music in the car she calls it gay and [slur for disabled people] and “not even music” After that I just decided to not play worm music in the car. Fast forward a few days and I was in my room playing worm music really loud. The thing about worm music is that when it’s loud it’s not really loud. My mom was across the house and she went over to the kitchen to get a drink and then she heard my worm music. She stormed into my room and screamed at me to turn it off.

AITA for celebrating the birth of my son in front of my sister?

quote:

I(M28) and my long term gf(27) just had a beautiful boy and we couldn't be more ecstatic the whole family is overjoyed except my sister.

For context my sister(F37) had been trying to conceive with her ex-husband for about 6 yrs and unfortunately they didn't have any results which caused their divorce. This has of course devastated her as she's been really keen on having children for the past decade give or take. After the divorce they sold the house and she ended up moving back in with our parents since they have plenty of room.

Back to two days ago Hannah gives birth to our son and we'd agreed with my parents we would stay over at theirs for a few weeks so my mom could help with the baby whenever we needed. Once we got home from the hospital everyone was so happy we were showing everyone our son. Saw my dad and we just started hugging and jumping around the place while trying not to wake up the baby.

My dad was like 'you did it' and id reply 'and you're a grandad' both smiling ear to ear just being absolutely goofy. We then went over to look at the baby and in the process I hugged my sister who was standing there seemingly kind of spaced out. She immediately stars crying, I try to comfort her but the mood in the whole room has shifted and she just runs off up the stairs.

Now we're left there standing my mom gives me the eyes and says me and dad shouldn't have celebrated like that in front of her. I told her she should be able to deal with it, she knew we were coming. I went upstairs but she didn't want to talk.

So AITA here?

Ps. if anyone has advice for moving forward that's also appreciated.

That moist sandwich story always gets me thinking about how silly 'secret family recipes' are. From the secret mostly being 'they got it from the back of the box', to TV and social media sharing restaurant-quality step-by-step recipes, to even breaking down the science of cooking and baking itself, the act of guarding secret recipes seems a bit self-indulgent. I share my poo poo because the more people know how to cook, the less I have to cook, and it is scientifically proven that food tastes better when you don't cook it yourself. I share because I'm selfish.

This went off base a bit, but still.
