The highest level of uncle-fu is to turn up to every funeral stoned as hell and go to jail for a few years over a kilo brick of weed. We have one of those on one side of the family and I think I’m the only member of my generation that still smokes weed on the reg bc as much as we all love him, nobody wants to be that guy

Weed people are just to sensitive and assumed I was talking about it itself.

Is a 17-year-old male allowed to date a 12-year-old girl

quote:

hi, I currently live in Australia in the state of Victoria and I am currently 17 years of age. I recently found out that a girl I have been flirting with is 12 years of age (even though he appears and acts way older than she is)? My intentions before finding out this information were simple, I wanted to date her, and I believe I still do. I honestly don't intend on having sex or anything of that nature. she is very smart and mature for her age (another reason I didn't suspect her age) what I'm trying to say with my intentions and morals would this be possible? I want you're honest to God opinions.

Anxiety about my obese family members visiting and hurting themselves while potentially ruining my furniture.
Hi Reddit

I know this sounds bad and I'm not sure theres any way to lightly put it. Everyone in my family is over 300lbs. Once my Dad was over and went to sit on a patio chair that was up against a glass wall on my deck and I suggested he sit in a different chair because the weight limit was 250lbs. (Hes 375). He got so upset and mad. Weeks later ironically he was in a department store and broke a patio chair from sitting in it. All the legs snapped off and he rolled out on the floor.

My sister (4'11), her husband, and my Mom (4'11) are all over 300lbs as well. They're incredibly rough on things, sliding chairs across the floors and when they sit in chairs you can see the stress on the legs of the furniture.

I live in a brand new house with nice new furnishings and as much as I want to have them over, I get anxiety about how their weight affects everything. When they sit they flop down heavily. I have a center island with 8 bar stools around it, I look and ponder my family sitting on them, knowing theres a 250lb weight limit. I have accent chairs with the same weight limit and wicker patio furniture as well. It doesnt help that they're always sick with viruses from being unclean and not understanding proper sanitation or food handling. Last time I was around them, I was sick for 2 months. My Dad couldnt comprehend that he couldnt put cooked hamburgers on the same plate raw hamburger and chicken were just on.

What can I do? Can anyone relate? I cant avoid them and I WANT to spend time but it gives me anxiety. I know this post kind of sounds bad but I dont know how else to put it.

Thanks

TL; DR My family is obese and I get anxiety about them coming over and hurting themselves and ruining my furniture at the same time.

Buy enough chairs that can handle the weight for when having them visit is unavoidable. Hide the other chairs and put fragile looking art pieces on the stools if they're built in.

Insist on taking them out to eat or doing all the cooking when there's no way to avoid their visiting.

This is true. I had a rough home life as a child and my pot smoking slowly morphed into alcohol then bars. One day a buddy of mine said "Hey bro you're lookin' rough, have some Lady H" and that was it. This took place over a period of about 2 weeks. Stay away from pot kids or you'll end up like me, posting on Something Awful and landing a dead end job scraping dried squid poo poo off of the docks.

I do agree that the kid's not gonna be able solve his problems with weed, but since his problems are with his lovely family and he can't fix them, he might as well smoke it if he's got it.

The most amazing part of this post is the two women under 5'0". It's not unheard of, but it's still pretty dang short. The fact that they're 300lbs is the icing on the enormous cake.

Lol I grew up in the Midwest and this sounds like a normal family there. You can go to any chain like a Red Robin's at any time of the day and see at least one family of four who, combined, weigh at least 1,000 pounds.

Anyway, my mother's best friend growing up was a nurse and she had the best stories. One time they had a patient they couldn't weigh, so they put them on parachute silk and rode the freight elevator down to the loading dock so they could be weighed on the shipping scale.

Apparently they broke several chairs during their say until they finally found an old metal bar stool which somehow held them up.

AITA for working on my car shirtless in front of kids?

quote:

I need a sanity check right now. So I had an angry neighbor come up to me and yell at my family for me being shirtless in front of her kids.

I am working on a future track car for myself and I usually only have time in the afternoons, also known as the hottest time of the day. It’s super hot, especially when working with my car and I usually take off my shirt and just wear shorts. Plus, im super clumsy and my shirt gets stuck on things and usually gets in the way, and I feel less restricted when shirtless.

I don’t even know if this person is my neighbor to be frank with you guys. I walk my dog a few times a week and never see them outside. I only see these people on the weekend riding their bikes right in front of my house, and having a good time, which is fine by me, because who the hell cares.

I take my car out of the garage and into the driveway for more space, so I’m closer to the street. These kids are probably ranging from 8-17. Im a twiggy white boy so I guess I’m not as appealing to look at shirtless as fuckin Dwayne Johnson, but I don’t care, everyone is minding their own business. My back is usually facing them and/or I’m under my car.

A mother knocked on my door this morning and told me to put on a shirt next time her kids are outside. These people are at least 5 houses down in any direction from my house, so they’re coming over towards me. That’s fine, they’re entitled to have fun anywhere as long as it’s safe. There’re not bothering me so I couldn’t care less.

But the mother said she will have me written up for this.

I HONESTLY do not know if I’m missing something or not. I’m so confused. AITA here?

Edit: I’m not like squeezing my nipples and making kissy faces to the kids lmao, I just imagined her imagining me doing that. I just turned 18, so I guess that makes me an “adult” but yeah.

I smoke every single day from my THC concentrate vape and occasionally from pieces/bongs and I don't smoke noticeably more than I did 5 years ago. :shrug:

My (19F) boyfriend (19M) of 4 years thinks I've been taking shits to avoid him

quote:

So to preface this whole ordeal, I'm SUPER lactose intolerant and also have a very spice-sensitive digestive system, so long story short I poo poo a lot.

Recently though, we've been fighting over lots of little things due to university mid-term exam stress and such, and he took me aside the other day to tell me that he felt I was avoiding him. When I asked why, he said it's because I've been taking so many shits. But the worst part is that he's dead serious.

He realises it's absurd and keeps cracking up when he brings it up, but he's been clear about it being something that genuinely bothers him. We're cool and better than ever right now, but I'm just... confused. I don't know what to do... do I just.... hold in my shits? There's nothing I can say that can make him feel better about it either because... what could I possibly say?



Tl;dr boyfriend thinks I'm pretending to take shits just so I don't have to talk to him.
