Hellblazer187 posted:Mord are you the gf's mom or something? This is an insane position to take. I'm just of the opinion that if you offer to help out and someone asks you to bring something... you bring what they ask. If they ask for Coke, don't bring Kroger Cola or whatever the store brand is called. If someone asks for Doritos, don't bring Great Value Nacho Cheese Tortilla Chips. I understand that you, Hellblazer187, do not feel there is a difference between Cool Whip and store brand whipped topping. But this is not for your party that you are hosting. If you are a guest and someone asks you to bring something and asks by the specific name, you bring that specific name unless you check with that other person before hand. Should she have been rude and passive aggressive about it? Absolutely not. Is she allowed to feel like he disappointed her? Absolutely. It was his laziness that caused this to be a problem in the first place. This is why everyone sucks in this situation.

AITA for refusing to pay "my fair share"?quote:My (34m) SIL (35F) has a family media streaming service, which she allows myself and my wife (28F), her parents, and her friend (S) to use. As a result, she has the £110 annual plan, and is asking us to pay half.

But also from her POV, it could be the situation where she had spent a lot of time prepping items for this get together and daughters boyfriend who asked to help was given a single item to bring and he didn't even bring what he was asked. Honestly, I agree with you, it was wildly irresponsible for him to expect to just walk into a grocery store and find CoolWhip. Found this posted in the Nextdoor thread, shits wild out there.

Cool Whip talk reminds me of the time I asked a friend to bring orange juice to a party and he brought Sunny D. I learned he wasn't a load-bearing friend in terms of requests that day. He actually said it tastes the same.

I feel like planning to pick up Cool Whip on the way to the event is reasonable. It's not something I use, but I wouldn't have expected it to sell out like, idk, those little packages of cilantro.

I lived there for two years and worked tons of multi-day ESL camps. They usually served food buffet/family style at these events and there was always "salad" on the menu. It might not be authentic, but goddamn is it ubiquitous.

I think last time I ate salad with that kind of dressing was at a funeral that I guess the monastery paid because the dude wasn't very well off

Yeah, normal people who are going to grab one under $5 perishable item for a party should definitely not just stop at the grocery store on the way to the event, but should buy it well in advance in case the store is out. And definitely shouldn't just grab a different brand if the name brand is out. Uptight people getting worked up over store brand whipped topping or the idea of someone grabbing Pepsi instead of regular Coca-Cola brand cola if they say "coke" are hilarious to me.

If you're offering to bring something, you bring what the person asked. If you're just going to go "ehhhh good enough, it's not what they asked for but it's close" then you shouldn't offer to bring something in the first place. He didn't need to offer to bring the item. But he did, and then he didn't bring the item that was requested. Sure, it was only a $5 item. Yeah, it sucks the store was out. While at the store, he could have texted girlfriend and asked "is store brand okay?" There are so many paths that could have been taken so this situation could have been avoided. He took none of them. While it wasn't important to him, it was important to the host. I will die on the hill that if you offer to help a host by bringing an item, you bring the item that is requested unless you check. Let's have some content: I (29F) have been having sex with my neighbor (32M) for the last year. I have no interest in a relationship, but I am petrified of leaving our situation because I am afraid I will never find another man who sexually satisfies me. quote:Obviously very nsfw below.

Well, when you're dead on a hill of Cool-Whip-brand whipped topping I'll mourn your death by wiping my tears with store-brand Kleenex and toast you with the Pepsi-brand cola that someone brought when I asked for coke, but then I'll just have to move on with my life.

That's true. That should definitely be clear. I apologize for faltering in my resistance to the Cool Whip discourse. Sometimes I use it to make banana pudding. I also like to cover pumpkin pie with it at Thanksgiving.

FMguru posted:Good strong spine on OP. "As helpful as a bag of used horse condoms" is a solid burn. LOL @ dad making a fool of himself trying to buy an out-of-stock replacement at the Lego Store. To be fair horse cum is so lucrative that even the firearms manufacturer Glock has dipped their toe in the crusty pool. Used horse condoms may in fact be very valuable.  Also I completely expected that to be about mom and dad throwing a fit over nephew finding sex toys due to the quotation marks.Mordiceius posted:If you're offering to bring something, you bring what the person asked.

It’s true that the same places make a lot of different variants, some of which are store brands, they aren’t always identical, which is why store brands may be more to your taste. Sometimes they are though, like when they recalled Peter Pan and Wal-Mart Great Value peanut butter at the same time because the same rats poo poo in the same vat containing the same peanut butter later packaged with different labels. Even ‘boutique’ brands are also from the same places (especially booze). I’ve been told that up until about 2010 you could differentiate true independently produced brands by packaging.

An Aldi opened up near me a little while ago and their whole thing is "low prices because almost everything is store brand" and i'll tell you that their store brand is actually pretty dang good. This is USA aldi, i've heard the european original versions are not as great

idiotsavant posted:Lmao who hurt you Why is it so hard for you to communicate with people? If someone is hosting a party and asks me to bring <named item> and I go to the store and they're out of <named item>, I'm going to text the person and say "They're out of <named item>, is there something else you'd prefer?" If they don't respond, then sure, make the substitution. This isn't the 1980s. We can text people! We can call people! These situations can be avoided entirely in the first place!
