I also have a last name that has a sex organ word but was also the last name of someone who signed the constitution so it works out. Although sometimes I can't put my real name in video games because it'll get caught by the prohibited words censor.

AITA for not paying hospital bills after my friend tripped over my dog?

quote:

Yesterday my friends and I were hanging out in the park: me + my dog, my friend Cathy + her dog, and another friend Jenny.

Jenny was walking Cathy�s dog, and they were walking ahead of us. Cathy was walking a bit behind me and my dog. Cathy decided that she wanted to catch up with Jenny, so she started running from behind me.

As Cathy ran past me and my dog, she fell and tripped. We thought it was a minor injury but it turns out she dislocated her shoulder and needs surgery. Cathy says that while she was running past us, my dog suddenly ran toward her and she tripped over my dog. Honestly I didn�t see clearly how exactly she tripped. I couldn�t tell if my dog actually ran into her or if she tripped over my dog on her own. My dog didn�t make a sound and didn�t seem bothered. Jenny also said she couldn�t tell.

Cathy wants me to pay her hospital bills because she says it�s my dog�s fault that she tripped. But I feel like it�s unfair of her to ask this. If my dog had bit her or attacked her, obviously that�d be a different story and I would 100% pay all the medical bills. But in this instance, Jenny and I are both unsure of whether my dog ran into Cathy, whether Cathy tripped over my dog, or whether Cathy tripped by herself near my dog. Cathy started running from behind me so I didn�t have a clear view of what happened.

The money isn�t a big deal, but out of principle, I don�t want to pay the bills because I feel like this isn�t my fault. AITA?[

Well this could go either way b

quote:

EDIT: Btw my dog is a corgi, so pretty small. Not big enough to knock anyone over, but you could definitely trip if he ran into you while you were running.

lmao nevermind

AITA for not wanting my fiance to have his dead dogs ashes in his wedding band

quote:

Ok so some context here, I (32F) will be marrying a really great guy (32M) very soon. When discussing what kind of wedding band he would want he said he would like one that includes ashes of his dead dog. I am very put off by this request but don�t really know how to respond or if I�m just being awful for not wanting this.

This dog died last year at the age of 16. My fiance and I have been together for 3 years, so he had this dog long before we were together. When he died my fiance was inconsolable for quite a while. I comforted him through this and tried to be as empathetic as I could be. However, I was not allowed to have pets as a child and so, while I do love my dog I have now, I have never lost a pet and couldn�t directly sympathize with his grief.

Now when it comes to the wedding band I know he loved his dog, but I really wanted his wedding band to be a symbol of our love. Not the love he had/has for his dog. He also says things like what he loves most in the world is this dog. He�s said even more than he loves me. I�m all for loving your pet and animals, but this feels a bit over the top and obsessive. Also, a bit creepy. But maybe I just don�t understand because I don�t have experience with the death of a pet. I even tried suggesting we get the ashes in something else that he has every day like a necklace or a keychain and save the wedding band as something between us. He said �ok� to that suggestion but had a sad tone and drawn facial expression. It killed me to see him disappointed so I just gave in and ordered the ring with the ashes in it. It recently arrived and I hate it. It creeps me out every time I look at it. To me it doesn�t symbolize our love or marriage at all. It�s about his dog. AITA for feeling this way? What should I do?

Surprising number of poster are like "who says love for a pet isn't real love!!???" or "why do people think humans are more important than animals???!!!" :rolleyes:

Like no one's saying it you weirdos, but it would still be weird to put meemaw's (a human) ashes in the wedding ring.

yeah. you think that love for pets is just as significant as love for humans? great, then imagine it's OP's fiance's deceased spouse's ashes

But OP hosed up by going ahead and buying it despite reservations. The original plan to get him some other jewelry with the ashes was a good compromise.

I can never judge ones like that because I'm just weirded out by the concept of memorializing ashes in general. I know it's not uncommon even for people, I just can't understand it. And for pets, I still miss my cat who's been gone over 15 years, but the thought of carrying her ashes around with me is just ick.

Maybe if they weren't together and the person who tripped was in front of the dog and the dog somehow tripped them as a result of being off leash and out of control or something, but yeah definitely not in this situation

Hmm, ok, the original objection raised by the redditor was that there was a serial fake poster who used different throwaway accounts to post a very templated kind of story, with a few common telltales.
The Pete story is not one of those....

If the guy wants to infuse his dog�s ashes into something more power to him, but a wedding band is not a good place for it. Weird to make a symbol of his marriage a totem to his childhood dog? What are you going to do with the ring if you get divorced?

Actually lmao at the idea of him still wearing the dog ring post-divorce like a widower.

AITA for calling my bf back to cuddle?

quote:

I had a flight to catch today at 8am (spoiler, I missed it).

Last night we got everything ready for the morning and decided to set our alarms.

It takes roughly an hour to get to the airport, and I wanted to be there 1.5h before the flight there (no checked in luggage so it usually only takes me ~30/40 min) so we decided to wake up at 5am to leave at 5.30am.

Now, we both knew and agreed tho this.

Morning comes, the alarms ring, and we wake up. My bf gets up very quickly and goes out of the room without saying anything. I hear him go to the study to continue setting up a laptop.he started doing last night before we went to sleep. Now, normally we wake up, cuddle, then get ready and leave. So I call to him "hey, don't you want to cuddle?" He shouts back yes and comes to bed. We snuggle, all is good. 5.22, I'm slowly starting to get ready (took a shower the night before so I wouldn't have to in the morning) so I just needed to get dressed in my pre-planned outfit, takes me only around 2 minutes Again, 5.22 he asks me again, what time do we want to leave? And I respond, 5.30, like we said.

He goes to take a shower. I'm.thinking oh this will be close, I remind him what the time is at 5.28 and 5.30, starting to stress out a bit. He keeps saying yes I'm.comkng out, gets out at 5.32 and then gets ready. We got in the car around 5.40, so 10 minutes after we agreed.

Now, 10 minutes is not a lot and usually would be okay, it's the fact that on our way there was a crash and we were stuck in traffic for forever, not sure exactly how long. I get to the airport with 26 minutes till my flight takes off, run through the airport to get to my gate and be told it just closed, less than 5 minutes before I got there. Its 7.51am.

Now, his point of view is that even if he didn't get ready late we mightve still been stuck in the traffic even longer. That's true, but I think we would've been at the front of it so I'd still have the extra 10.minutes.

Another thing is, he's upset im blaming him for driving late. He says, that he did get up at 5 but I called him back to bed to cuddle. I said to him that that's true, but he knows the time we want to leave by so if he wanted to take a shower (which I didn't know about) it's up to him to get up and cut the cuddling short if he knows he needs more time getting ready. I don't think it's my fault just because I asked if he wanted to cuddle, I feel like if I knew I still needed to shower I'd cuddle for a bit and get up in time to shower and get ready by the time we agreed on, however he doesn't see it that way.

I know this whole situation would've been completely irrelevant if not for the traffic jam, but the 10 extra minutes would've been the make or break in this situation for me.

Maybe im just stubborn and can't see that it is partially my fault for us leaving late, like he says. I just think it's not up to me to make sure he gets up and ready on time.

YTA for OP blaming the boyfriend for leaving 10 minutes late partly due to the cuddle when the actual problem is that the drive took an hour longer than usual

If OP's boyfriend tends to be slightly late even when OP doesn't demand cuddles then leave 30 minutes earlier next time, use an airport taxi service, or just chalk this up to bad luck
