Yeah, I think she'd had multiple DUIs before and this one involved her hitting some parked cars, driving away, and then hitting a minivan that had a bunch of kids in it like 10 seconds prior.

When I read that post, my first thought was that her case must have been something like that - I've never heard of someone (in the US, that is) serving 18 months for a first-time DUI with no injuries or property damage.

r/childfree regularly has stories of "I hooked up with so-and-so on the mutual understanding that we didn't want kids, then they changed their mind and got all butthurt when I didn't change mine". Most of them, however, don't feature the mind-changer being a total creep about it:

My boyfriend felt entitled to my reproductive organs

quote:

Before i dated my ex boyfriend, I made it clear that i didn't want to have a child. Ever. He told me he didn't mind not having a child, so I was cool with that. Then after a few months of dating he tells me he actually wants a child, even two or three. I tell him that I'm not going to change my mind about it and that if he really wants a child then he needs to find someone else. He gets upset and starts arguing, saying that it's selfish to be childfree and that I'll regret it eventually, that i won't have anyone to take care of me when I'm old, basically every anti-childfree argument people always come up with. I expose my arguments regarding my choice not to have children, and it seems to change his mind. And yet, a few weeks later, after we just had sex, he puts his hand on my stomach and says "I'm going to put a baby in your belly" (Euron Greyjoy style). I cannot even express how that made me feel. I was absolutely disgusted, it actually made me feel sick. I don't understand how he even thought it was okay to say that. Needless to say, I broke up with him the next day, and I am now enjoying my childfree life with my dog.

Speaking of making GBS threads.

AITA for kicking out a woman from Golden Corral after she poo poo herself floor?

If this was any restaurant other than Golden Corral I'd say this is fake, but that place attracts a special clientele.

She felt no shame in wallowing in her own feces, but took offense to being called "pig"? That's... actually 100% plausible for Golden Corral's customer base.

That was posted earlier and the consensus was that he’s probably a pedophile himself. “You see officer, I downloaded these 2 GB of child pornography onto my computer as a joke”

If he had been reporting all the pedophiles, wouldn't there be some record of that in Discord's system?

My wife thinks I'm hiding something because I won't give her the code to my gun safe - even though that would be illegal because we live in a country which takes gun control seriously.

https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/ctujwe/aita_for_refusing_to_give_my_wife_the_code_to_my/

quote:

So I recently started hunting. In my country it's law you have it in a locked approved weapons safe in your home. It's exclusively for hunting. My wife asked me what the code to the safe is and I refuse to give it to her since she has no business opening the safe. I purely see it as a safety risk. She got really upset and went on this huge rant about how I didn't trust her and thought she was stupid and if I hid anything else in there etc. But I still refuse to give her the code. AITA for not giving her the code?

Edit: She says she asked her friends and they all agree with her that I'm shady, trying to hide something in there.

Edit2: Here you need training, courses, tests, and finally a license to own a gun. You can't just buy and own guns, it's a fairly big process and exclusively for hunting. My wife knows nothing about guns, never fired one, and don't care to learn, and it would be very illegal for her to do anything with the gun.

Edit3: Yes, it is also illegal for her to have the code. The gun and safe is officially registered to me, so only I can use it in any way. Her having the code is flat out illegal.

Edit4: So from the 150 comments so far I have come to the conclusion that I am either completely right, or completely wrong. Seems to be pretty split down the middle lol.

Demanding that your spouse break the law just to prove that they're not hiding something? She's the one who's being shady.

lol i loving love Small Business Logic

"looks like you've got a big house, mister. you must have a lot of money so clearly you don't need any more. here's a lowball offer."

but also:

"looks like you've got a small crappy house, mister. you must be really hurting for money so clearly you aren't in a position to bargain. here's a lowball offer"

Never mind that if someone isn't desperate for more money, then that would most likely mean that they can afford to reject a job offer that wouldn't give then what they're looking for.

From r/childfree:

"you can take the risk since you don't have kids" (donating a part of my liver)

quote:

Let�s see if I can keep this short and sweet. No, probably not.

When I was a kid, my mom was a pretty awful parent to me and my siblings. Resentful, sometimes a bit of a bully, never hugged any of us, and mainly told us how we ruined her life. You get the picture. I moved out at 17 to keep my sanity.

I�m 28 now and never had much of a relationship with her after moving out, as she never once admitted that she had done some really hosed up poo poo to us.

My sister is married and got two kids, my brother is divorced with 3 kids.

I got a call from the hospital, that my mom managed to drink her liver out of order and need a transplant. All of us siblings were found to be a match. My sister and brother, once they realized that cutting out a part of your liver is�t risk free, backed out. I was told that I have something called situs inversus, meaning my organs are abnormally placed, and that it would make the risk of surgery higher for me. 4% risk of death within two weeks of surgery, and higher risk of other awful poo poo happening. And of course, a 100% guarantee that my mother will drink that liver away too.

Now EVERYONE, the doctor, my mom, my siblings, everyone, is telling me I should do it, because I don�t have kids, so who cares if the risk is high. This pissed me off. My family never valued my lifestyle, as I decided not to do the life script. I bought a cabin in the wilderness in the north and work from home, so I rarely have to leave my lovely little hideaway. I make enough money to live the life I always dreamed off, but apparently that does not count since I don�t want kids. And my mom, who never cared if I lived or died, suddenly think she deserves my liver because she gave birth to me. The fact that she then spent 17 years bullying me is irrelevant because faaaamily, and �kids are a gift from god�. gently caress them all. The doctor said to me �well, it is an increased risk , but your mother needs a new liver and at least you don�t risk leaving children behind�. gently caress THAT. I was so stunned I forgot the entire Swedish language and just sat there. Whad did I just hear?! And who will care for my pets if I die? Mmm? And my mom. �I gave you life, you should do the same for me, after all I gave you my best years, raising you was no joke!� Yeah. She also gave me two fractured ribs and one time locked out out of the house in the middle of winter, and I had to smash a window with my hand to get in.

I can�t believe I even tried, that I agreed to be tested as a donor, as if she would have magically changed. I�m leaving the city tonight, taking the night train north and will hopefully be back in my cosy home tomorrow. When the doctor calls to hear my decision, I might not even pick up.

Wait, even the doctor is buying into the idea of "you don't have kids, therefore your life isn't worth all that much"? I'm not familiar with all the specific rules of medical ethics, but I'm pretty sure that that would generally be frowned upon. Same with encouraging someone (regardless of family status) to undergo a crazy high-risk surgery to donate an organ whose recipient couldn't be trusted to take care of it.

A lot of doctors 100% buy into that bullshit. Due to cancer and some other complications, the odds of me being able to carry a fetus to term are very low, but the odds of complications (including life-threatening ones) are relatively high. I've been trying to get my tubes tied for years and have yet to find a doctor willing to do it. Some refused to do it until I was 40 "in case you change your mind" or demanded I get permission from my husband before they'd do it.

My partner casually asked about a vasectomy and they offered to book him later that month.

r/childfree maintains a list of doctors known to recognize women as adult human beings. You might take a look at that.

Oh my God, why do so many people get so defensive and blatantly lie when people say anything that can be even remotely negative about weed.

I had always assumed that it was mostly a knee-jerk reaction as a result of being exposed to conservative zealots fighting to keep weed illegal.

Apple got hit with some FTC fines over purchases made by kids, and both they and the Play store will issue refunds almost without question for "kid got access to account" requests. Especially since it mostly hits the app owners instead of the Apple/Google, and where else we they going to go?

Isn't there some limit as to how many mulligans they'll give there? That is, at some point they'd expect you to better secure your credit card data.

AITA for freaking out because my husband took my prescription pain killers

quote:

My husband and I have been married for 5 years. I recently had a major surgery as a result of an accident and some stuff I don�t really want to get into.

Anyway I was prescribed strong painkillers, and the doctors were all reserved about giving them to me and wouldn�t give them in large amounts because they don�t want people to abuse them.

My husband has always lacked impulse control but never to this extent.

Well my husband took some of them. I saw him taking them and freaked out because A) they�re pretty powerful and he�s just taking them for shits and giggles and B) they barely give me enough as it is, and they�re not going to give me more if I say I finished them early so I�m going to have to go days without them.

I started yelling at him and he said to calm down and that it would be fine. He said that I can always get more and there wasn�t any need to yell.

AITA?

I wonder if she'd be able to get replacement pills if she were to rat out her shameless druggie husband to the police?

AITA for absolutely refusing to pay my ex girlfriend and her child after I came into money?

quote:

My ex girlfriend of 7 years cheated on me and initially led me to believe the child was mine when she was pregnant. Shortly before giving birth her father asked me to meet him where he told me he had reason to believe I wasn�t the father.

I was obviously devastated being as I wanted to marry this girl and she was my life. We were each other�s first everything�s. The reason she gave for cheating on me is that technically we were broken up (we weren�t.. we had an argument and she moved to her parents house for a few days to calm down) and that she had never been with anyone apart from me.

Regardless I broke up with her. Apparently she has been heartbroken for the past year and has never moved on, she gave the kid the name I chose when I thought the baby was actually mine, etc. I�ve heard from friends back home she asks after me and how I�m doing. She�s been diagnosed with depression which is sad for her but not my problem.

My dad recently won a good amount of money from a legal dispute (that has been dragging on years...) and he gave me some money that let me buy two homes outright one to rent one to live in.

She found out because my dad and her dad are friends and she called me begging for a loan. She said she would pay me back blah blah but if I could please help her out because she was struggling.

I told her to F off and lose my number. Literally every single person I know is telling me I�m a bad person because we were together so long and I have basically left her to fend for herself. To make it worse my mom and dad are actually on her side and are trying to encourage me to do the �right thing�. They want to give her the money but wont out of respect for me but they are pressuring me. I just feel like I�m in goddamn crazy land here.

How could anyone rationally argue that he would have any duty of care towards a woman who'd betray him like that?
