Working in mental health, it is incredibly frustrating how many bipolars are absolutely convinced that weed is the best thing for them. It is always manic white dudes in their 20s to 30s, and they're usually entitled little shits even before they have an episode.

I'm glad you're managing your condition well and I hope he is out of your life soon.

Free poo poo really scrambles people's minds.

My dad passed last August- he was huge into fly fishing and fly tying and had two room's worth of fly tying stuff.

Two of his dearest fly fishing buddies- Joe and Connor, didn't really like each other, and each specifically dragged my grieving mother into how much of my dad's stuff she had "allowed" the other to take.

Swear to god I have never been so goddamned mad in my entire life as when she told me that Connor came into the house and bitched at my grieving widowed mother that she shouldn't have allowed Joe to take whatever the balls it was that he took (we're talking maybe a couple drawers worth of feathers and hooks here, not like fuckin cut diamonds or some poo poo). Wanted to jump in the car and make a 5+ hour drive so bad just to drag Connor's rear end out of his bed in the middle of the night and fight the gently caress out of him on his lawn for that poo poo.

Also I have zero goddamned sympathy for anyone wanting grandma's furniture that she left to grandkid. My mother has taken care of my grandma's furniture her entire life because my mom's sister and brother "cannot stand the though of selling mom's furniture" and yet have zero interest in keeping it in their own homes.

If mom dies without having gotten rid of it I'll have a bonfire in her front yard in her honor.

Although at some point that's standard rear end in a top hat teenager behavior and you just have to roll with it because if you dig in your heels and go ballistic they will double down and be even more lovely.

One story about interns banding together to request a change in a company's dress code was met with shock and aplomb as though they had asked to be allowed to have a blood orgy in the lobby.

That's because the interns kept asking even after being politely told no.That full story went "interns in a conservative office think they should be allowed to wear whatever they want, one intern asks their boss, boss says no, intern then bands together all the interns in some sort of weird coup attempt which obviously goes south". The interns were so amazingly, completely off base with their request and their response to being told "no, this is a conservative field and business wear is absolutely the dress code of any office in this field" being basically a tantrum is absolutely something that should be made fun of.

I've read every single AAM post since the beginning and I absolutely would not call her employer friendly. She's all for employee rights and standing up for yourself in an office.

Nah, the brother getting married is being a huge fuckhead about this. When you plan a wedding, and want your immediate family to come, you make arrangements for their SO's. Yeah there's one extra, but big deal, they can fit, don't invite someone else. Put them on the top table because there'll be drama at some point and might as well get it over with right now, plus it'd be a great story.

Pretty sure by 2017 we should all understand that being hellah loving drunk is a vulnerable state and taking advantage of someone while they’re in that state, even if it’s something that they’d probably be on board with when 100% sober, is Not OK. “Taking advantage of” here can be anything from “have sex with” to “convince to quit their job” to “convince to eat that entire pizza because it’d be funny”.

Errybody in here hates the “It was just a prank bro!” bullshit; this is exactly like pulling a prank on someone except instead of deceitful intent you just hit em up when they’re too drunk to comprehend what’s going on.

Y’all are missing the point that she DIDN’T CASH THE CHECK. So the formerly rich bad with money mom had zero reason to blame anything on her friend that loaned her money. And maybe if bad with money mom hadn’t continued to be bad with money even after having an “oh poo poo, being bad with money now means I might lose my 1%-er lifestyle” then the hosed up situation could have been avoided entirely.

Bad with money mom sounds like she was grieving, in shock, and lashed out at her friend instead of realizing that it was her own lovely financial habits that put her daughter in a lovely situation in the first place.

Her: *holds up 3 almost identically shaded swatches* Which color of tan do you think would be best for the bathroom?

Me: *chooses one randomly*

Her: Oh my God! Really? I thought that was the ugliest one! Well, we're going to go with the one I picked but jeez I can't believe you picked that one!

Me: *Spends rest of day trying to determine if there's actually a difference between them or if I'm being Punk'd*

My husband and I have been together *checks watch* 14 years and I feel like we transcended to another phase of our relationship a few months ago when we had a color consultation before we got the house painted. It took an hour and a half, 20 minutes (combined) of that time was the consultant looking for the right swatchbook, and we would have been done in under an hour except at some point we both realized we weren't 100% happy with the color for the bedroom. It took another 15 minutes to fix that. It was so unlike any other experience I'd ever heard of any other couple having it reaffirmed my conclusion that I absolutely married the right guy.

I blame all of the home decorating sites like Apartment Therapy and also stuff like Pinterest with way the hell underselling how loving hard it is to make a house look good, and that's a house that's ALREADY BUILT. If I was laying out cash money to have a house built to my spec? drat straight I'd sit down with a bullet point list of dos and don'ts and then walk the gently caress away and be surprised with the result. There's a reason people go to school for that poo poo.

Yeah there is a Grand Canyon of difference between “yeah I love everything about you and want to marry you and be with you for the rest of my life and after a lot of drunken peer pressure from friends sure your dick isn’t quite as big as my ex’s” and “break up”.

Yeah it’s hard to hear and unflattering and is a nut punch right at the center of man’s main insecurity but it’s also only as big of a deal as this dudes ego wants to make it. Flip the genders, have the guy admit that sure his ex’s boobs were bigger than his fiancée’s and it’d be the exact same situation.
