Gf gave random guy her number right in front of me. Did I over react?quote:Me and my girlfriend have been together for almost 2 years (we are late 20s). Today we were getting coffee. She has a dog and brought her there with us. This place was busy with all kinds of people and families around. I left for a minute to get a drink and when I came back she was talking to some guy while he was petting the dog. I didn’t think any thing of it at first because people come up and pet/ talk about our dog until they took their phones out. This one has updates (they broke up) and a lot of comments on the OP's side saying the gf was awful and disrespectful and trying to manipulate him. But, personally, I think OP is a dumbass. This reads to me like the gf was caught off guard and just gave the guy her number as it was the easiest way to end the interaction. It's like when someone hands you a flyer you don't want--it's easier to take it and dispose of it later, rather than risk a confrontation. (If it's not obvious, I'm extremely non-confrontational.) Yes she could have politely turned him down or pointed out her bf or given him a fake number or whatever, but I think she was just surprised and kind of switched to auto pilot. Meanwhile, OP is acting like he walked in on her sucking some rando's face.

Oh please, stop clutching your pearls, ya bunch of Helen Lovejoys. You're all absolutely fine saying T.S. Elliot or J.D. Salinger or J.R.R. Tolkien or E.E. Cummings, or J.K. Rowling or A.A. Milne or C.S. Lewis. You'd probably feel weird AF trying to discuss any of those people by their full names bc this is how you know them.

I mean jfc, D.J. was what they called the oldest loving daughter in Full House - so it was common enough as a nickname in the 90s.

But then she wrote DJ in the name field on her SATs and, because it wasn’t her real name, she didn’t get the starting 400 points, and scored a 0 in a nightmare sequence.

I was at a cookout with my wife's family and I just opened up a cold one. My wife's three year old neice asked me what I was drinking, and I told her it was beer. She asked to taste it, so I poured her like a tenth of a sip into a plastic cup thinking it will be bitter for her, but, well, she liked it.

Haha, I absolutely get the thinking on that one - my parents did that to us as kids and we couldn't spit it out fast enough. It's always a risky play, though, kids can have bizarre flavor pallets (my favorite as a kid was frozen brussel sprouts). But yeah, YTA on that, especially since he's not the parent. Giving unsuspecting kid a tiny sip of a very hoppy beer to discourage interest is obviously the call for parents call to make, and enjoy.

I agree with your point but published author names are a little different. All those authors go/went by their names to their friends and family. Except CS Lewis who named himself Jack when he was a kid so that's what everyone who knew him called him.

AITAH for wanting to eat my way?quote:For the past 5 years of my marriage, my wife (33F) and her family have been driving me (35M) insane with their constant food policing. I swear, every single time I take a bite of something, one of them has to chime in with their two cents about what I should add to it.

I can't stand people that stare at you as you're about to take the first bite and barely let you remove the fork from your mouth before they ask "How is it?" when there's no way you could possibly know that yet.

quote:I've tried everything to get them to stop. I've politely nodded and smiled, I've tried to change the subject, I've even straight-up told them that I'm happy with my food the way it is. "I've tried everything. I tried agreeing quietly, I tried deflecting, and I've even tried indirectly suggesting their input isn't appreciated!" "Did you try directly asking them to stop?" "Oh, no, not that."

Shithouse Dave posted:Yeah, I’m team låmp. I replaced all the cold white cfl bulbs that were in my rental house with warm white LEDs, except for the ones on a dimmer, which are incandescents because the dimming curve on LEDs just annoys me. We mostly don’t use the overhead lights except in the kitchen and bathroom, we have a selection of weird old lamps and they’re nicer. Soft, warm light, only in the places you want it. The instinct to not trust the security of a lightbulb is a good one, but if you want to use them relatively safely then all you need is a router with a guest network. They can't do much to you if they're unable to talk to the other devices in your home. You could instead use smart light switches, if you trust the company that manufactures them more or whatever, but that doesn't change much otherwise. Realistically though, unless you're on the wrong side of the Mossad or not-Mossad dichotomy, the worst you probably have to worry about is the company that makes them going out of business and your lightbulb app suddenly not working one day. That's pretty frustrating too though, so maybe you just can't win.

I don't know, I think quote:I've even straight-up told them that I'm happy with my food the way it is. looks like a very direct way of saying it. If they don't take the hint then, a firm' "stop it" wouldn't cut it.

To hear my dad tell it, when the nurse came in and asked them what my name would be so she could fill out the birth certificate, he was the first one to answer. : "SLAGATHOR!"The nurse blinked, turned to Mom: "So what will his name be?" Ignored the poo poo out of dad every time she had to come into the room for whatever reason. I'm 90% certain he's bullshitting.

He needed to actually say "I don't want input on my eating choices," but instead he politely deflected. yeah, it's this. there are a whole bunch of steps between what he'd already tried and his outburst, and the other side being insufferable doesn't mean it's reasonable to skip all of them and go straight to a temper tantrum op doesn't know how to stand up for himself or communicate his boundaries and somehow thinks a reasonable response to unreasonable behaviour is to bottle up your frustration til it boils over, then explode violently at the next arbitrary trigger. good one
