Okay fine. I just won't compliment or comment on women's pictures again. Because every single time I do that. Or if I say they are pretty, it just leads to stupid drama and trouble. I hate it. I hate women.

Anyways here's a fun one but not relationships related

KY: SERIOUS: I may need to get rid of a lion.

quote:

I know this sounds crazy. It is crazy, but it is real. My uncle has owned multiple exotic animals in his time (a lion and a bear) and has a permit to own those animals in another state. A friend of his in this exotic animal world has had a litter of lion cubs and "owes [my uncle] a favor" and he wants to GIVE ME A LION. I don't want a lion. I can't have a lion. I'm pretty sure it's illegal to have one in Kentucky. He may have already paid for this lion, and he is serious and adamant I need to have this lion cub. I thought he was joking. He was not.

I am desperately hoping we can convince him how horrible of an idea it would be if he actually delivers the lion, but just in case, how do I get rid of a lion?! What would I be facing, legally, if I suddenly were in possession of one? What would happen to him if he were caught in Kentucky with the lion?

I think my best friend of 8 Years (18 M) is in a cult, should I save him and how? or throw in the towel and give up?

quote:

I'm not gonna state names, let's call him M,

We met in middle school and I was bullied at the time for me acting weird due to me having ASD, we bonded almost immediately and we looked out for each other.

In sophomore year, we hit a very rough patch and I came to the realization that he is disloyal and was talking poo poo behind my back also he was hanging out with my enemies. To add insult to injury, I was going through some tough times academically and personally.

In Freshmen Year of College, I went at him again because he was falling back into the same disloyalty when I was going through tough times and I needed someone to talk to, this year, the day after Prince died we talked it out and we reconciled, then he was telling me how he was going to some church and how it helped him, long story short, I ended up going to a bible study and here's the part that really shook me up a little bit, they would gather in a circle, spread their arms out and they allegedly "feel" God throughout them with a mix of fortune telling and prophecy. I went a few times after that and I wasn't accustomed to it, My dad warned me about cults and how it is easy to get hooked into them, I would find out later that he was right all along.

I am an Orthodox Christian, so I was exposed to Christianity from a young age, and I do believe in God but this is about him, not me

Some acquaintances that go to the same CC as I do, were telling about him texting them to go to this thing of his and some people actually went and it confirmed my suspicions of it being a cult, one guy told me that the situation reminded him of the 2014 film "The Master" and even someone talking about how M texted him a long paragraph of how he should come to his thing and he was so freaked out and it was too much for him to handle that he had to leave him on Read and not reply.

So, last week, I was duped to going to his thing again while i was convinced that I would just hang out, before we got to his house, I asked him to detour to Wendy's because I was hungry, he told me no, and even on the way back, I am starting to believe that he's becoming selfish with not only me, but with everyone except the people in the cult

I am seriously considering ditching him and look for a new best friend, but I am too shy but that's for another thread.

But I won't give in without a fight, How do I save him and his family from this?, What should I do? and If it's too late, how should I cope with it?

tl;dr: Me and my best friend fell out, we got back together and he was duped into joining a cult

Edgy 4channer calls his crush racist, is saddened to find crush hates him,
or

Me [12 M] with my crush [13 F] my would-be relationship got pretty ruined by my "clever" comment.

'TheMrGrimReaper' posted:

So I like this girl, but I'm going to refrain from using the word "crush" as much as possible.

Let me start right from where I left off. So my friend came up to me about a week after my last post telling me that this girl had blocked him on Instagram, and he asked me to DM her asking her why she did so. I went home and asked her, and she told me she didn't even recognize his name.

So I linked to his account (two mistakes here: I didn't realize he was private, and I didn't describe him or send her a picture) and she acted like she understood who he was and she said if she saw him the next day, she would unblock him. A few days later my friend asked me to ask her for an update, as she never unblocked him. I asked her, and she told me she still doesn't know who he was. So I finally decide to send her a picture of him, and she unblocked him (note: it took her over 24 hours to reply even though she had logged on to Instagram to post, it's a meme now between me and my friends).

But a few days later he told me she blocked him again. He said that he just DM'd her saying "Hi, how are you" and she said she was fine, then she asked him why he'd taken a screenshot. He never sent a screenshot and he has proved to have lied in the past so I either expect he did something unbelievably retarded, or the girl just has her reasons.

So then he and I thought it would be a funny joke to Tweet "SHE RACIST" while tagging him and the girl since he was black. This is not the first thing I've done on social media that makes me look like an idiot, believe me.

My friend #2 from school showed her the Tweet about a week ago. The next day, I decide to delete the Tweet.

Fast forward to a few days ago where the stars aligned perfectly for her to talk to me. She asked me why I had called her racist (what a nice way to talk to someone in person for the first time, also note this was two or three weeks later). I immediately look back down at my phone and after about five seconds finally say that it was friend #1's idea. As if that wasn't enough to ruin my sleep for the night, friend #3 comes along and, very loudly, say the name of my fake account and asking if it was mine while the girl it sitting a meter away (what good friends I have), and she looks up. Don't even ask what I did with that one fake account (I have two more), I already said I've done some retarded poo poo these past two years.

I thought we were pretty chill before this incident, we follow each other on Instagram and we added each other on Snapchat and such, and we had talked over the internet a few times, and at school, we minded our own business. But now I'm not sure, she has proved to me that she is not afraid to gently caress someone up, and I'm afraid of what might happen if I apologize. Well she hasn't blocked me yet, so that's good, I guess.

Obligatory #TeenageProblems note: I feel like I'm the one pleb sitting in the corner not talking to girls and they aren't talking to me. Also que the Navy Seals Copypasta.

tl;dr: I called the girl I liked racist over Twitter, she asked me why and I didn't know what to say, I don't know what to do now.

It's actually an update from a previous post, but the other post doesn't seem to have anything relevant other than "oh I am in love with this girl I've hardly spoken to" and "we're enrolled in a seriously sexist school"(?)

I (23f) work at a restaurant my boyfriend (24m) wants to actively put out of business and I take it very personally.

quote:

I work at a bar/restaurant that hosts live music. It's a very small town, and it's a local business. The management used to be horrible and screwed over a lot of musicians in the past. My boyfriend is a local musician and some of his friends were screwed over by the old manager. It is under new management now and they have been trying to make amends with all of the musicians that were wronged in the past, and have been overall trying to up everything including food, events, drinks, etc.

This restaurant pays for my medical bills. I was battling cancer for a while and work two jobs to pay my bills. I depend on this restaurant to keep me afloat.

Winter is not our season, this town is dead in winter, so any business counts. My boyfriend has been actively trying to put it out of business by spreading rumors about it from the past. I understand why he and his friends wouldn't want to play there, but to spread rumors to new locals and local musicians is very hurtful to me. I take it personally because he is actively trying to plan their demise and I would be left with no way to pay for my medical bills.

We both take this very personally. He views me as not being supportive of him, but the thing is, I'm not supportive of that. I am supportive of him not wanting to play there if he doesn't wish to, but not supportive of his goal to put them under.

I'm not sure what to do or if I'm in the wrong about taking it so personally. This has been a point of contention between us because there is just no agreeing. I view it as him being selfish and uncaring and he views me the same way pertaining to this matter.

What should I do? Am I overreacting?

Tl;dr : my boyfriend is actively trying to put the restaurant I work at out of business. I depend on this job to cover my medical bills from cancer treatment and so I take his goal very personally. We cannot agree at all and view each other has uncaring and selfish pertaining to the subject.

I want to go to Endgame. I'm proud of my wife but I feel like fhis is a once in a lifetime event that will be spoiled of I don't see it opening night. Her bosses like to party so we do these events all the time (this is the biggest by far, however, and probably the one she's most directly involved in) so I feel like there will be another.

There is a bunch more of these, but most of them are permutations of "am I the rear end in a top hat if I ditch SO/Friend/Dad and don't watch movie with them on opening day"

AITA -

quote:

This morning, with the help of my friends and available funds over $600 we bought 3 entire rows for an IMAX showing of endgame, however there's only about 5-7 of us and we now have somewhere between 20-35 seats available

We're all planning to sit together and the reason we bought this many would be so that we could have a comfort space and limit who would see the movie, last year in infinity war we were sitting together but the theatre was full and people were cheering and shouting and so this year we figured the less people the less cheering and clapping etc; our other friend is a manager and this is where it gets questionable

When the showing starts, Undoubtedly there will be some losers who will come in, see empty seats and take one for themselves, this is where our manager friend comes in as he will be sitting amongst us, as his shift ends right before our showing and he'll still be in uniform and if he sees people he will promptly escort them out of the theatre for stealing seats they didn't pay for; I guess my question is, are we the assholes for doing this?

Edit: as I mentioned below, it's almost guaranteed quiet because there's another group we know of who got the rest of the upper seats only te first three rows are available to purchase and they're the uncomfortable front row ones

As he was coming to, he said he had a vision of woman whom he never seen before. When we met the vision came back to him and he realized the woman was me. He thought it was weird but didn't say anything until recently. It came up when we were talking with our friends about weird and paranormal experiences we had. I laughed it off but he brought it up later. He said it was proof we were destined to meet and that I'm probably going to be his wife. I asked him how was that possible since we aren't even dating. He said we should start dating. If not now, then in the future.

It's been a week and I can't stop thinking about it. He hasn't brought it up again, but I feel uncomfortable around him. Is it weird or is it just me? We've been friends for three years and I don't want to end it over this. Should I just tell him the vision and dating thing makes me uncomfortable?

TL;DR: My friend saw me in a vision and thinks it's a sign we date and marry

AITA for spoiling Avengers Endgame for my roommate because they stole my onions?

I have some nice onions on display and one of my roommates stole them all in order to make them into a stew.

Naturally, I was pretty pissed about this as up until that point I was pretty friendly with that roommate. Anyway, I saw Endgame opening night and promptly spoiled it for that rear end in a top hat roommate who stole my onions because I knew they weren't going to see it until a couple of days after opening night.

This caused an unforeseen amount of drama among my roommates and friend-group. Last week my roommate got into a big shouting match with one of my friends which ruined the party and now my roommate blames me for ruining the party by spoiling Endgame for him because he stole my onions which is what made my friend mad.

AITA 4 evictioning roomie? Im the Landlord

quote:

A little backstory: the business is to rent houses, and with the permission of the owners, we split these houses' in bedrooms, and subarrend them.

Nicknames: Roomie1, the rear end in a top hat (Roomie2)

2 young ladies rent and say "There's NEVER going to be a late fee 'cause we ALWAYS pay on time". (2 dollar fee per day late).

The first couple months everything fine, they paid on 15th's. BUT THEN, they both started to take up to 5 days to cover the amount of the rent, on December, they paid UNTIL Christmas.

So far I had been accepting this and just charged the late fee, not a big deal, but this month, this loving June, it's already 29th (today) and only yesterday Roomie1 paid, not only after telling her mom that her daughter was 2 days from going homeless (local laws state that they have 15 days from the payment day to cover the price of the rent), and then, mom paid her rent with a 26 dollars of late fee.

But rear end in a top hat, look, she's an Uber Eats deliverer, with a bike, and she ALWAYS left the bike on the garage, which had a tiny fence keeping it from the street, told her someone could steal it, and wow, it happened, on early March. I felt bad for her, and lend her my bike, which I LOVE, I worked as a waiter for it when I was younger and I thought that it'd be good to help someone in need. WRONG.

I let her to be 5 days for free, she paid on the loving 23rd, but idiot me, let her pay me that late without fee because, well, I thought it was a good deed. WRONG.

Same thing on April, 23rd, I only charge 5 days of late fees, on May she paid me on time, I didn't think much of it. But June, today morning(29th), one day before her eviction, I go to the house and there is an ugly bike on the garage, loving purple (mine was red), I ask EACH of the roomies and they told me it's rear end in a top hat's bike. I realize she loving SOLD MY BIKE, and with that money paid May's rent and got this ugly af, lovely bike, I.GO.NUTS.

I calm down, knock, Roomie1 opens and says "Oh, rear end in a top hat went out today earlier, she is not here". I reply: "ok".

I take the bike,and go back.

I knock again, Roomie1 opens, I call rear end in a top hat's number, imagine the face of Roomie1 when rear end in a top hat's phone starts noisefully vibrating, and, suddenly, going silent even without hanging up. I then shouted: "rear end in a top hat, I know you're inside, just letting you know to pack up, this is your last night here, and don't worry about giving back my bike, the one you sold, I took the beautiful bike you replaced it with, and you'll be getting a call from my lawyer, I'm suing you of theft (in my country there are laws that protect you if you borrow something and isn't returned) and if you don't leave by tomorrow before 11:59 p.m., I will be suing you for private property invasion". I turn my face to Roomie1, who at this point is white af,and tell her: "Hope you have enough to complete the other half of the rent before the day after tomorrow".

Update:I gave the bike back.

AITA for choosing my dog over my nephew to be the ringbearer at my wedding?

quote:

Hi Reddit, I'm honestly not sure where to come down on this. My GF and I have been dating for 4 years, engaged for 1, and our wedding is in a month (using a friend's backyard). We started dating right when I got my dog Shelley from the pound, and we've all been together ever since. I got really into training Shelley and she's super well-behaved, knows all sorts of cool tricks, and I thought it would be funny and memorable if she was the ringbearer for our wedding ceremony. I got her this funny dog t-shirt to wear, I've been working with her on holding the ring basket, and I think it's going to be great.

The issue is this. Our families are both thrilled about our wedding, including the kids on both sides. One of them is my girlfriend's nephew (10M). The other day we were over at my GF's sister's house for a barbecue when her sister came up to us with the nephew alongside, saying he wanted to ask us something. We kneeled down and he kind of quietly asked if he could be the ringbearer for the wedding. I think he's been looking for something to do since we've been trying to save money and everyone on both sides has been helping us, so I'm pretty sure it's not just something his mom put him up to.

Anyways my GF and I both thought it was really sweet but we told him that we already had someone picked out for the role, and offered to let him help in another way. He said okay but he definitely looked like he was about to cry. Later my GF was talking to her sister and under some pretty direct questioning let her know that our dog was going to be the ringbearer. Things got pretty uncomfortable, there was no shouting or anything but we both could tell her sister and her sister's husband were pissed so we left.

My GF and I are both thinking about how to solve this. We are both on board with having the dog be the ringbearer, it's our wedding, it's a once in a lifetime moment, and surprisingly no one else in the family seems to have a problem with it now that they know. But I don't want to cause any rifts over what's such a minor thing, and it's kind of a small thing to sacrifice to smooth things over with the family, and it's not like Shelley is going to care. In the end I think I want to go with Shelley though. AITA for choosing my dog over my future nephew?

Can't believe nobody posted this one yet

WIBTA for eloping when the wedding is this weekend?

quote:

My girlfriend and I had planned to get married on Saturday. We wrapped up all our planning around Halloween, all that was left was to ring some time this week and make sure everything was running smoothly.

She called the venue and the person she spoke to asked her to confirm some changes she'd apparently made. My girlfriend had no clue what he was talking about, and he reminded her of all the changes that had been put in recently. We had not approved any of these changes. We were able to get some of it put back the way it was but there are some things that we couldn't change back at such short notice.

The venue forwarded us the emails asking for the changes so we could look over them. Our communication was being done via an email account we created solely for wedding stuff, and the email address which asked for the changes is the exact same address, except 2 letters are switched round. The venue is very apologetic for not calling us directly but can only fix so much of it at this stage.

We think we know what happened. The whole time we were planning the wedding we got pushback from both sets of parents, and the stuff they had the biggest issues with have all been changed. I'm willing to bet that all of this was related to at least one of our respective parents. We don't know anyone who would want to gently caress with us or the wedding this badly except our parents, who got pissy when we told them they couldn't financially contribute to the wedding because they were trying to trade their money for whatever wedding stuff they wanted.

Right now the stuff that we wanted that is still in this wedding is my suit, the venue and the DJ. My girlfriend has gone to pick up her dress and she's not heard from the shop so we're assuming that hasn't changed. I'm calling round everyone and it looks like the menu has been changed, as has the guest list and the cake. We paid for the wedding we'd planned and it looks like any additional costs from the changes (such as the extra people) were paid for by someone else, but they wouldn't give me any of the card info for legal reasons.

We probably won't be speaking to our parents again after this, unless one of them owns up in which case we'll just stop speaking to that one, but this feels like a joint effort as it's dealt with both sets of parent's complaints.

Before my girlfriend left to get the dress she gave me permission to post this as we are seriously considering eloping. We have the marriage certificate here, the honeymoon is unaltered and exactly what we wanted, and there's a few appointments we could make between now and Saturday at the town hall to get the certificate legally signed/filed.

However, we now have around 200 people attending this wedding in 3 days (our original guest list was about 100 including families and plus ones). People have booked hotels, planes, trains, and are coming from other countries to be here. None of these people have done anything to us and would be getting caught in the crossfire if we were to elope instead.

Would we be the arseholes?

Update: I posted in the group chat I have with all 4 parents that someone has been screwing with the wedding, we've found the email they used and we'd be tracking the IP address to a device and location (this was all absolute bullshit, we don't even know how to find an IP address). As soon as I said we'd be tracking the email they all started pointing fingers and accusing each other. It looks like all 4 of them were in on it together. Still not sure what we're doing about the wedding but all 4 parents are uninvited.

We're thinking that we might elope for the ceremony and then have the reception as planned (it's all the same party/venue and we won't get money back) because of the number of people who are coming from all over the place.

We're all white British, this isn't a custom or anything like that. Our initial plans weren't exactly traditional (for example, my girlfriend is wearing a coloured dress rather than white) which caused some friction early on, and then we had an argument over the money because they said they'd put up a lot of money for the wedding and then they said they would only do it if we gave them a vote each, so each of the 4 parents would have one vote, and me and my girlfriend would have a vote each, so we'd only have 2 of 6 votes regarding our wedding plans. Both sets of parents have histories of being absolutely batshit crazy, especially when it comes to how our actions reflect on them.
