The fact that he managed to get fired is entirely his own fault. The lady was if anything merciful and benevolent in her retribution. To be fair, she could have dumped him in the middle of nowhere and the exact plot of Deliverance could have happened to him and people would still be on her side in this.

My simpleton girlfriend enjoys tasteless movies like the Oscar-winning film The Shape of Water, how do I convince her to prefer the classy films that intellectuals like myself enjoy, such as The Dark Knight Rises and Batman Forever?

AITA for calling my girlfriend a slut? I have been with my girlfriend for five years. Our years has been up and down in conflict, and we have had our fights over issues. Since the start of our relationship, when we went out drinking with friends, we all started playing "Never have I ever". She told everyone about the several times she has slept with different people in different situations. for example, "I poked him on the shoulder, and then we ended up in bed", and "I was heading on a afterparty, but then this guy asked me to join him home, so I did". If you make those examples and add 30 different ones, you have it all (that I know of) When she first told them a couple of them, It was entertaining, who has not slept with other people when you are close to their thirties, right? After the eight story, I felt at an unease, thinking that my girlfriend was sharing too much, and that she was putting herself in a bad light, and that I felt my stomach churn for each new story she told. I took it up with her, that I thought and she said, "its in the past, it does not matter now". I do agree with that statement, but it still keeps bothering me that she mentions those stories. When all comes to all, I get the impression that she is unknowingly calling her self cheap, and easy to get to bed. I took it up with her today, after she told a entertaining story about peeking on some boys in the shower at high school. When the story finished, she again ended it with, "he was the worst guy that I ever slept with". I again felt my stomach churn because of it and saw it as the final straw, so I confronted her with my reasoning, saying that, she gives the impression of being cheap, and easy, and it makes me feel bad. I hope you can respect me enough to try to contain yourself from saying these stories when I am present, as I don't like to hear them and you are putting yourself, and myself by proxy in bad light. She said that she couldn't help herself, and that she blurted these things out sometimes, and that she couldn't guarantee that she did so in the future. I said that it was okay if that happened, but when she did, she could afterwards, say that "I know you feel bad when I am telling these stories." So that it does not bother me so much, and I know she cares about how I feel. She would not listen to that suggestion, and I said, that "It is not interesting to hear about your past when you once poked a guy on the shoulder, and that made you go sleep with him afterwards. You were acting like a slut". She then got furious and angry with me for calling her that, and here I am. Am I in the wrong here?

AITA for asking my husband's friends to stop bringing over their butthole seeking crotch goblins? So the main story happened over a week ago but it kind of got rehashed last night and I need to know if I'm in the wrong here. TLDR at the bottom I'll try my best to keep the length to a minimum. So I could write novels about how many things these boys (3 and 4) have broken or ruined. Their parents don't watch them and let them destroy my house. I don't let them play in my sons room anymore because they break all his things. I've asked the parents multiple times to watch them if they bring them but they never do. These friends are our next door neighbors. They live with their grandparents for help raising their kids. They come over every day to game with my husband and I but I can't game with them anymore because I have to make sure the kids don't destroy my home. Onto the moment in question. I have PTSD for reasons that will probably become obvious through the story but I still don't wish to go into detail. My home is my safe space and I rarely leave. About a week ago they came over as usual and I was busy cleaning up after dinner so they left the kids in the kitchen/ living room. I went into the game room and asked them to please take the kids in there so I could finish clean up without worrying about their mess too (the parents never clean up their kids epic messes). They laughed and said the kids were fine. Whatever. I wasn't in the mood to argue and I'm not usually a very confrontational person so I let it go and went back to cleaning. The 4 year old followed me into the kitchen and as I bent down to put some things away in the bottom drawer this loving child drills his little finger like dead center into my butthole. I froze and started to feel a panic attack rising. I turned to him and said very sternly do not ever do that again. He giggled and I locked myself in my room and until I could calm down and regain my composure. They eventually left and I told my husband what happened and that it had caused me to have a panic attack. I asked him to tell them their kids are no longer allowed as I put up with so much poo poo but this crosses the line. As I've said my home is my safe space and I know he is a child and probably was unaware what he did was wrong but that's the problem. They don't teach him anything so I can't realistically expect that sort of thing to never happen again. Now originally my husband agreed but the friends flipped out saying being irrational and overreacting. They stopped talking to us. Until my husband invited them and their kids over yesterday without talking to me. I opened the door and saw who it was and the kids with them. I told them they were welcome to come in but they needed to leace the kids with the grandparents. They flipped, my husband flipped and now none of them will speak to me. Am I in the wrong? Am I being an rear end in a top hat? I know he is just a kid but God drat they know better if you loving teach them. Edit: forgot TLDR TLDR friends kids gave me a panic attack. I asked them to stop bringing them. Husband sided with friends. They all think I'm overreacting.

AITA? Did I make a racist joke? u/Pareogo quote:Ok, so I’ve been wanting to get this off my chest forever now. Earlier this year, I went to my Jewish friend’s bar mitzvah and he went to a rock climbing place to celebrate it. I was invited alongside 3 or 4 other black friends he had. I didn’t know any of them since me and my friend went to different schools, so I was practically in a party with a handful of strangers.

AITA for not helping my daughter pay for college and not co-signing a loan? My daughter is turning 18 in two weeks. She is starting college this fall. She has been accepted into 8 universities but has gotten little to no aid from any of them. The government didn't give her any aid either since our income is apparently too high. My daughter got into her dream school after being waitlisted. She was really happy to start college there this fall, but she has no money. I don't really feel like I have to pay for her college; she's an adult she should start paying for things on her own. She has no money saved up, because her mom has discouraged from getting a job until this spring. She has been working at a local bakery, but only has very little saved up for college. The university my daughter wants to go to is $17,000 after the small amount of aid they gave her. She's planning on studying biology, then going to PA school. My daughter's uncle and grandparents have promised to pay $5,000 of her tuition. My daughter plans on having $4,000 saved up by September. But it still isn't enough. My daughter thinks I am unfair for refusing to pay the rest or at least cosigning a loan. She says she has no other way to pay for college, and that I am taking away her chance of going to a university. I don't need any extra debts by signing a loan, but my daughter thinks I am being stingy. My daughter is very mad at me and has been for weeks. My birthday was two weeks ago and my daughter refused to get me anything even though my wife offered to pay (didn't really matter to me, but I thought she was being a little bit overdramatic.). She has also told me she will never spend a penny on me, or give me anything, unless I help her get a loan for college. She says I'm the only person she knows who could co-sign a loan for her, but I just don't want to. I don't understand why she is being so dramatic. I have encouraged her to start at a community college since she'll have enough saved for that. That makes her even more mad, because she wants to go to her "dream school". Also she says she can't stand me anymore, wants to move out asap, and rent in our city will end up costing her more than the price of going to her dream school (that part is probably true). I feel like this issue is tearing up our family. My daughter desperately wants to go to her dream school, but she's short of $8,000-ish dollars. I don't want to give her any money, or cosign a loan. She is an adult. She should pay for her own stuff. Why should I have to help her pay for college?

Or they can wait until they're 25 and FAFSA stops looking at family income.

AITA for being angry that my girlfriend's mom stayed for dinner? So, it was my dad's birthday party yesterday, and his wife (W) threw him a surprise party with a corresponding lobster feed. My girlfriend (GF) couldn't be there for the surprise, but said that her mom would drive her up later. She had asked whether her mom (GFM) could pop in for a few minutes, and I said it was fine. However, GFM had not been invited to the party or the dinner. When they arrived, my dad was the perfect host, and handed GFM a big glass of wine. Mistake number one. As the cocktail hour wore on, I became increasingly worried that GFM wasn't leaving as GF had implied she would. When people started putting lobsters in boiling water to warm them up, I discreetly mentioned to GF that it was time for her to "kick her mom out." She told me that she would "leave when it was time for her to go," and I trusted her judgement. Mistake number two. When we were all seconds from sitting down and GFM was still lingering, W approached GFM and said, "Okay, we're all about to sit down for dinner now, [long pause, blank stare from GFM] would you like to join us?" Mistake number three. I guess it's a cultural thing, but I feel like that's where one should say, "Oh, thank you, but I couldn't." However, GFM, being raised by Dutch parents, took W at her word, and accepted the "invitation," exactly the situation that I had tried to avoid putting W in. GF wanted to sit next to me, but I told her that she should sit by her mom at one end of the table and I would sit with my dad at the other end. After dinner, I was pretty angry, so I spent most of the night cleaning dishes and avoiding GF and GFM. On the way home, GF asked whether I was angry, and I made it clear that I didn't appreciate her mom staying past her welcome and her not having her mom leave when I asked. She asked why I hated her mom, and I don't, it's just that this is part of a history of GFM missing social cues, and I anticipated this situation. She accused me of not being welcoming, but I'm sorry, GFM wasn't invited, and lobsters aren't exactly cheap. She noted that everything worked out fine: we found another chair, somebody was allergic to lobster so GFM wasn't taking someone else's, etc., and she's right. But I'm angry on the principle of it, and I'm angry that GF doesn't see her mom's actions as rude. So, AITA? Edit: To be clear, her presence did bother a few people. GFM and W had met twice before, but GFM didn't even recognize W...the person whose house she was at. She insisted it must be W's hair, but she's worn her hair the same way for years. When I went downstairs to get another chair, I apologized to W that she was staying, and she said, "Well, I can't uninvite her now...." Clearly, W had planned a party for my dad, and GFM had not been part of the plans. Later on, my uncle on my dad's side came into the kitchen to escape her for the moment, because she was dominating the conversation on that side of the table, talking about things that nobody cared about.

Federal loans don't require a cosigner, but how much you can borrow is determined by your FAFSA. Since the father apparently makes a lot of money and had his income included on her application, she probably can't borrow enough in federal loans to cover the expenses for college. That leaves private loans; sometimes private lenders don't require a co-signer, but they require the student to already have a strong credit history, which is unusual. She probably has little to no credit history.

I've had to walk a few kids through getting their custodial account switched to a personal account when they come of age. It's one form that you fill out to update your personal info and probably some PATRIOT act stuff to verify your identity. It takes 5 minutes to complete and then you just send it to the brokerage. Lmao at these idiot kids getting cleaned out. Sue the mom, have the courts force her to sell her home, and claw back every penny you can.
