FMguru posted:Another story on the classic template - lol one of my partner's good friends had her 40th a year or two ago, and another good friend in the group got her a stripper as a joke (the first friend had pranked the second with a stripper at her 18th bday party 20ish years ago). Apparently dude showed up and did like 2 dances and then a room full of 30-40yo progressive women all felt really skeezy and were like "thanks that was great here's your money goodbye!" & proceeded to have a rager minus the stripper

Whorelord posted:AITAH for eliminating a rattle snake after it threatened my niece and nephew? what a loving psycho. snakes scare the poo poo out of me but i've come across them multiple times hiking and they're just trying to do their thing & get a nice nap in the sun. Doesn't matter if it's a garter snake or a rattlesnake, share the trail. They generally don't want to be around you, either

They generally don't want to be around you, either I actually rather like the idea of a rattlesnake, in that they are the snake famous for striking only after warning. It's depressing to think that hunting for the rattles is naturally selecting rattlers without actual rattles.

NTA. The six year old nephew was on the upper age range of people the OP has any hope of impressing so he had to take the opportunity as it arose or lose it forever.

Whorelord posted:AITAH for eliminating a rattle snake after it threatened my niece and nephew? gently caress this dude. I’m an avid hiker and I’ve ran into dozens of rattlesnakes. They just want to chill, they will leave you alone if you leave them alone. It wasn’t even rattling. The most I’ve ever had to do is kick dirt at one because it was laying longways on the trail. It just slithered off. His actions were completely unnecessary.

i know farmers who find rattlesnakes in their vineyards and their general solution is: get a shovel, pick the snake up, and go toss it somewhere else that isn't the vineyard, which seems a lot braver than murdering it with a rock

Hughlander posted:AITA for spending my son's university fund on a trip to Europe to drink beer like I always threatened instead of giving it to his step brother after he passed away. I mean, she's not wrong, and there IS a good compromise here. If you close the RESP, you have to return the government contributions (could be up to $9k), and you have to pay taxes on a crapton of it's growth. What you could do is transfer the RESP to the stepbrother, and ask his ex-wife to pay the husband what he would have gotten had he just cashed it out. That way the ex-wife/stepbrother is ahead at least a few thousand, and the husband has the same amount that he 'ought to have gotten had he just cashed out. Or hell, demand slightly more than what you could cash out, and everyone is ahead money. Like, I get the symbology of what he's doing, and by all rights he's allowed to do it. It's just he's making an emotional decision and giving money to the government, which instead could be given to the ex-wife/stepbrother (or as mentioned, could be used to get a bit more ahead). And you can still use it to go get beer. I appreciate that my solution may not be popular.

It's cathartic to think that, but I didn't get the impression that she's vindictive, and the "decent enough husband" might be able to convince her. Either way, I feel better writing that out. I can't say I wouldn't follow the same path as the grieving father. Edit: stepbrother hand halfbrother are two separate things, durr mom and dad fight a lot fucked around with this message at 18:29 on May 16, 2024 |

AITA for sending a venmo request for babysitter, hotel and uber reimbursement after a dry wedding? quote:A friend from college got married this past weekend. The wedding was 45 minutes from my house so my wife and I got a hotel room. We checked in, had a few pregame cocktails, and we ubered from the hotel to the venue.

Chewbecca posted:That town was pretty though, if I ever came back to America I'd want to see it in person, assuming it exists Star's Hollow isn't real, but it's basically "Generic New England Small Town." My GF watches a lot of Gilmore Girls, and I think that's why she's in love with my hometown. It's in VT, not CT, but it's about the same population (maybe a little more, I'm not sure they ever give Star's Hollow's population but I'd have to guess it's like...2-3k? My hometown was around 4k when I was a kid, closer to 6k now*.) But it has a beautiful park/town green at the center of town with a gazebo...the town hall literally across the street from that, a couple of small diners/cafes. And while it's not within commuting distance of an Ivy League college, it is only like 10-15 minutes from Middlebury College, which has the same energy as Yale. *Fake edit: I looked it up and I guess Star's Hollow is supposed to be closer to 10k? DEFINTELY doesn't seem that big, but I blame that on Hollywood Writers thinking a city of 100k is a "small town", so therefore being a whole order of magnitude smaller than that is basically a podunk nothing-burg.

Because it's unthinkable to attend a wedding without getting completely hosed up. (If I expect an open bar 2 or 3 hours from now, I'm not buying a few cocktails at the hotel bar. I guess I'm just stingy.)

Ominous Jazz posted:i'm not an alcoholic i just am throwing a temper tantrum about not drinking for approximately 8 hours I don't drink anymore (former alcoholic) and while this dude is a petty shithead and a bad friend I can't peg him as an alcoholic because his attitude was that this wedding would be a rare chance to have a night out with the wife and drink for the first time in God knows how long since he's got kids. I kind of think this guy is worse than an alcoholic to be honest - he just straght up expects his freinds wedding to double as a party and tried to bill the friend because the 'party' didn't meet his standards. Alchoholics have an illness but this shithead is just sick (derogatory).

Oh hey someone decides not to leave well enough alone and tries to force a tearful Hallmark Channel reconciliation between estranged family members. I wonder how that's going to turn out. My husband kicked me out of the home because I invited over his mother quote:I preface this by saying I think I screwed up massively. There were updates, much of which were abuse-specific and don't need to be reposted here (stepdad abused OP's husband, MIL looked the other way, he has a lot of anger about that for some reason), but husband decided to stay with OP: quote:He said he did consider divorce over this, but pretty bluntly said that he thinks my actions were out of stupidity rather than malice, and he wants to work things out.

“California sober” specifically means you don’t drink but you do smoke weed, and maybe other drugs too. Wedding invitations should have: An agenda Location Gift rules (if any) Meal options Bar status (open/cash/none) ESH because the invites didn’t specify bar status, but op shouldn’t have assumed, and shouldn’t have sent the Venmo request because he ended up going out and needing the sitter/Ubers/airbnb anyway.
