Where would you even poop in a bathroom? The only thing in there other than the sink and shower is the chicken defroster

I did work with a guy who said he would wash his hands after every trip to the restroom when people masked up again. AITA for sneaking drinks on family vacations? quote:I’m legally allowed to drink alcohol FYI. When I’m on vacation with my family, they tell everyone that alcohol is NOT allowed. Even though they say no alcohol, I sneak some in my luggage anyways and I sneak in the bathroom to take a shower when I’m actually drinking in the shower without anyone knowing. I take a shower long enough for me to finish it, then I hide the empty bottle in my luggage and they never know. I don’t get super drunk, but I drink enough to feel a buzz. The reason why my family doesn’t want anyone to drink is because there has been fights when someone drinks and they want to prevent that from happening, but I love drinking and drinking helps me fall asleep. AITA for sneaking liquor? reminds me of that dude who thought his work was like Mad Men.

Woozie66 posted:Seltzer is also popular with recovering alcoholics. It's bitter and fizzy so it can help kind of scratch a similar itch. Liquid Death is a popular choice in that community, as far as I've seen. Yes. I drink a lot of sparkling water for the bubbles, and diet sodas, but think Liquid Death is a waste of money. Seems like they are charging extra for the "Death" labels while skipping any kind of quality with the water part.

Seems like they are charging extra for the "Death" labels while skipping any kind of quality with the water part. I know people who buy it particularly for the label. At first glance it looks like a can of beer or hard seltzer, which means it's easier to drink without someone coming up to you at a party and harassing you for not drinking.

I haven't drank in years and a few have said they think it's good/cool. One person questioned it, but they were a knob anyways. Harassing someone for not drinking is some full-tilt bogan poo poo.

That entire "our babies will get married when they grow up" loving grosses me out so much because it happened to me and the adults got so creepy about it. They made us kiss for pictures then would take the pictures out for years to reminisce and tease us with them. Then in our teens, the guy decided it was time to make destiny happen and would try to hold my hand, caress my arm or back, I woke up to him kissing my neck in the middle of the night once, I ended our friendship right there. He ended up being a total piece of poo poo person anyway so I don't feel bad for rejecting him. A number of years later, he got hold of my boyfriends phone number and called him, threatening to beat the poo poo out of him because he thought I deserved better. Anyway maybe 12 years ago or something, he was killed in a car accident because he was one of those anti seatbelt dudes and his brother rolled the vehicle while driving drunk. Anyway that's the story of me and my toddler  boyfriend

I remember many, many years ago, I was at a family friend's birthday party for the 4-year-old, so there were lots of kids of all kinds of ages. And one kid was about 2 years old, and he had his heart set on pretty much hugging and kissing every girl at the party. Which is well in fine if the other kids are fine with it, but there was a 3-year-old girl who definitely did not want him touching her and she kept pushing him away which made most of the adults laugh and make her stay still so she could get her hug and kiss. I remember separating them at one point and was told by the parents to knock it off and let the kids be kids and be cute, and one point the little girl started crying and throwing a fit and was punished because of the tantrum. While the boy who kept kissing her to much applause and teasing that he was going to be a lady killer, moved on to his next target. AITA for telling my sister that people are allowed to look annoyed by her toddler and baby on a plane and that it's entitled to say they should feel sorry for her because "it's even worse for me" because she made the a choice to take them on the plane? quote:Note, I'm well aware fathers are equally responsible for their children and her husband was with her on the flights, but he wasn't present for the conversation and it was only with my sister so focuses on her.

If a baby is crying the entire flight, it's probably because the pressure in the ears hasn't equalized and they're in excruciating pain.

well why not posted:Shoutout the people living in Japan for a year who can’t / won’t speak Japanese despite being big enough weebs to give their kid an anime name. I thought people like this had embarrassed themselves out of existence by now. content: AITA I'm giving my stepdaughter 3 months to move out quote:It’s time for my stepdaughter to move out of my home. This year she’ll be 23 years old. I met her father when she was 5 years old and took on the role of stepmom NEVER crossing that boundary of her birth mother, showing her how to be a woman, showing her how to cook, take care of a home, and her personal hygiene. She is on the heavier side, so I’ve always told her that she is going to have to learn how to take care of her hygiene a lot more intensely than most, you know keeping herself clean (because I didn’t want her to be bullied). When she was younger I made sure that she took showers regularly, brush her teeth, wash & combed her hair, etc. But when she turned 18 that all stopped. I have been living with the combination of stagnant fish water, stanky feet, and a stale closet. I am super sensitive to smells; I can tell which room she has been in after she’s left. It’s not only the smell that I cannot stand is also her laziness. I regularly clean my home and always sweep, dust, vacuum take out the trash mop the floors; and make sure that my house is always clean, I am a clean freak, I don’t expect anyone to clean the way I do, I do have my lazy moments, however, she doesn’t clean up after herself, one Friday I spent 2.5 hrs cleaning and re-organizing my kitchen (rage cleaning), I started my dishwasher and went to bed. When I woke up on Saturday, why was a sink full of dishes in the sink and crumbs all over the counter. I went smooth the gently caress off on her, she likes to stay up all hours of the night and sleep until 10 am the next day. Her dad said I overreacted; I went off on him also. There have been soo many “incidents,” I went to bathe my youngest (she’s 4) and I could not find a not a drat body towel to bathe her or dry her off, my 23 yr old and my 10 yr daughter are responsible for washing and folding the towels. I was so furious, again going off on her. The catalyst for this decision was that I was looking for my 4-year-old’s shoe for school, I searched EVERYWHERE that she usually plays, but I couldn’t find it. I had no other option but to check my stepdaughter’s room, and WOW when I opened the door, the smell hit me so hard in the face, I closed the door immediately and ran to get a face mask sprayed with perfume and went back in, and WTF she had so many of my lost dishes cups, fast food bags, garbage, dirty clothes, and whatever else was in that room. I left there as fast as I could, I just couldn’t handle it. I called her dad and told him that I had enough of living with a dumpster, tired of my home smelling like this, tired of her laziness, I am tired of being the only one that holds her accountable for doing her part, he stayed silent throughout the entire conversation, which infuriated me even more. The longer he stayed silent the louder I got. Because of this, today I am giving her and him an ultimatum. She has 3 months to move out, I am done. I have to know am I the rear end in a top hat? This one was so exhausting to read; I have to assume that's why step-daughter doesn't have the will to even shower. A lot to unpack. (sorry about not adding line breaks, I just couldn't find anywhere to put them in this stream of consciousness mess)

Maybe she has issues that prevent her keeping clean, maybe she’s just a piggy. it doesn’t matter, she needs help either way and the help should’ve come long before an ultimatum.

erosion posted:My money's on stealth anti-vegan screed. Strong sensory aversion to animal products from someone who is described as unpleasant. And OP insists a little too strongly that she couldn't guess what DIL's issue might be. I would disagree. Based on my experiences of the people that would that "anti-vegan" are more than usually happy and enthusiastic to say why they hate the vegans and how it is their fault they couldn't find anything to eat at Big Daves House of Pork Crackling, and were disrespectful for leaving early. My guess is OP just really doesn't like her daughter in law, (for whatever reason), and has, (again for whatever reason), chosen to use this "picky eating" as an excuse to belittle and exclude her.

PizzaProwler posted:I thought people like this had embarrassed themselves out of existence by now. I wonder if she’s being “helpful” like my stepmom who told me I was overweight at 115 lbs and made me straighten my hair every night, then put curlers in every morning. And complained that I was in bed at 10 at night so that I could get up at 5:15am to go to school in the morning because teenagers should not be sleeping that much. And jeans need to be ironed after washing and drying. And I shouldn’t date black boys because what about the children (I was 15 and not interested in dating anyone because I was suicidal but one of the few black kids in our school had made it known he would like to be more than friends, I guess?). That last bit was said after she pulled me out of bed at 1215am to have a discussion with my father present. Basically, I may be biased or projecting, but I think the stepdaughter needs mental health help and would be much healthier without her stepmom present in her life.

I would like to congratulate most people in this story for doing things the right, good, and responsible way. 10 year old wants to get into DnD. So makes materials and reads up on it etc. So she knows what she is doing when she gets to play. Mum notices her daughter is into a thing, but has nobody to play with. So sees a place that does said thing, and asks if a 10 year old girl would be welcome and/or safe to join in. (Both reasonable questions that need asking.) The Comic Store(?) owner, checks with the group if that would be Okay, and also makes sure she is supervised by at least one parent at all times. Some joyless childfree fucks complain. The boss tells them if a 10 year old existing on a different table with her new friends, being supervised by her bored dad/mum, bothers them so much they can gently caress off somewhere else. (Or come on a different night when the little girl wont be there). Everything is dealt with nicely, safely, and within the rules. YAY for the nice people and the nice boss. YAY for a little girl and her supprotive parents. BOO to the joyless fuckwits complaining about her very existence.

And most damning he is the guy who once said to me "It's OK for me to say "n****r because I have a black friend. Back me up here BrigadierSensible, you've met him." To which I had, and the friend was a South African bloke who was just as much if not more of an arsehole as he was.
