I appreciated the elder sister realizing what was going on and actively reaching out to repair the damage that in the relationship she had with her sister. That was a really nice grace note.

AITA for making jokes that made a coworker leave?

i'm a manager (37, M) and i have 10 people working under me. we just have 1 female in the team.

Couple of weeks back, got called out for saying some stuff that rubbed people the wrong way. And last week, the gal on the team dropped a bomb, said she's not keen on working with me anymore because of what I said.
Now, I'll admit, maybe I pushed it too far. Made a remark about two guys from a certain background looking alike and how i cannot tell them apart - not my brightest move, I know. Then there's this thing about my daughter and driving, something about me not wanting her to drive cause she will end up wrecking the toy car.

Why thankyew!

My (25F) best friend (24M) proposed to me. I�m confused and mortified. Where can we go from here?

quote:

TLDR: My best friend off 2 years seems to think we�re in a relationship and decided to publicly propose to me. I have no idea what to do.

Frankly I�m still in shock that this happened so this might be all over the place. Bear with me. All fake names etc etc.

Jordan and I met in University two years ago. We both started at the same time and because of our ages we were both considered �mature� students. So we quickly became firm friends as we shared a dorm and we�d joke around together about us being old enough to be considered �mature� in our early 20�s. We weren�t on the same course, but given we lived together, we would hang out pretty much all the time whenever we didn�t have a lecture. We joined a bunch of societies together, went drinking every weekend together, etc etc. It was a pretty sweet gig because it meant we were at least never alone. Obviously we made other friends, both alone and together, but we were always each other�s #1 at the end of the day.

At the moment we�re on spring holidays for Easter. And while we haven�t hung out constantly, we decided to make plans to visit each other�s hometowns, because we�re from very starkly different places. Today, we went to mine. Mine is a big city central.

This morning we went there and were wandering down the streets, doing some sightseeing, because he�s never been. There�s typically a lot of street sellers here, trying to sell you everything from hotdogs to fluffy pokemon hats. I decided I wanted to get a caricature done. I�ve never had one and I thought it would be funny to get and hang over my bed when we got back for term. I asked Jordan if he wanted to get in and he refused. No worries, so I sat down to get it done.  They don�t take very long, 5/10 ish minutes, so I stayed looked straight forward at the artist the entire time. He finished the caricature, I loved it. So obviously I turn to show it properly to Jordan.

When I turn though I literally don�t even know what to say. He�s down on one knee holding up a ring box. I don�t even really know what he said, if he did the whole like proposal speech thing because I was so confused, I was barely paying attention. Remember again, this is a super busy tourist city, so this has drawn a mini crowd now, coming over to cheer us on.

I couldn�t help but burst into laughter. To be honest, I thought this was some kind of odd prank type thing. We never HAVE been �prankster� types or whatever but I couldn�t come up with a reasonable explanation. So I just laughed and laughed and laughed. Until I looked at Jordan and he looked genuinely heartbroken. So obviously I asked him something along the lines of �You�re not being serious?�. This is the only thing I remember him saying. He shut the box, stood up, shrugged and said �I guess not anymore�. And walked off.

This left me standing pretty awkwardly in this gathered crowd of people, a lot of who were giving me dirty looks, which made me incredibly uncomfortable.

The plan was to meet back up a hotel that we had booked rooms next door to one another. So I figure that�s where he�s going and head back that way. But he�s not there. So I wait and I wait, and he still doesn�t return.

I text him out of concern, this was at 1:15pm (it�s currently 6:20pm as I�m writing this) just asking if he�s okay. He responds with a LONG message back (which I would post, because it�s an odd read, but I won�t out of respect for his privacy), in which he basically accuses me of leading him on, asking why I didn�t �break up with him sooner�, saying I had �publicly humiliated� him and that he �thought I loved him the same way� and that he felt our �relationship was strong enough to consider taking the next step�.  Now this is completely out of left field. I literally have got no idea where in the world he�s got this idea from. The closest we�ve ever physically been is a hug hello and goodbye. I�ve never even jokingly flirted with him (for exactly this reason, I�ve had too many friendships collapse because they can�t tell the difference between serious interesting and joking banter in friendships, so I�ve been extra careful to not). We�ve never kissed, never been on a date, never had sex. I do not find him physically attractive and I wouldn�t want to be in a relationship with him.

I don�t understand where on Earth he�s got this idea that we are. This isn�t something he�s ever bought up before this and I�m genuinely bewildered.

He hasn�t returned to the hotel yet, I periodically knock to check, and I�ve been listening out for him walking up the hallway or anything. Nothing. I haven�t responded to his long paragraph because honestly? I don�t know how to.

I�m just so stunned and taken aback that I genuinely have no idea where to go from here or what to do.

I haven�t told anyone I know in person yet, mostly because I don�t want to bring this up to people who know Jordan. So here I am turning to strangers on reddit instead. What in the world do I do 😭

quote:

I�ve not dated anyone since starting university, but I have had hookups. I don�t tell him about them because we don�t discuss sex in our friendship, but I�ve presumed (maybe wrongly idk) that he knew because I let them come to our dorm / flat sometimes. He�s not dated anyone (that he�s told me about anyway) and I�ve not seen him bring anyone back for a one night stand.

But we have pointed out people we�re attracted to. Pretty constantly to one another. Hell, literally TODAY, when we went to get food at a cafe I told him I thought the guy behind the register was hot and asked him if he thought I had a shot. And it�s not just me. We people watch pretty often, and one thing we do pretty consistently is if someone we find attractive walks past, we make some type of subtle gesture, like a light nod in their direction or an eyebrow raise or something and say �would� as in �would smash�. Pretty crude, I�ll admit but we both actively do that.

As for introducing him to people, I don�t think I�ve explicitly said friend. I normally say something like �X this is Jordan, Jordan this is X�

quote:

It�s not even like we�re roommates in that it�s just me and him sharing a flat. It�s me, him, and 10 other people. And as far as I know he hasn�t imposed this on anyone else.

Even back on campus, I think we�ve been in each other�s room MAYBE twice respectively in the two years we�ve been living together.

We do hang out pretty much every day so potentially that�s where it�s coming from. But even then, nothing in our daily interactions I can think of would make a person think �oh yeah we�re dating�.

If he comes back tonight, I�ll talk to him (in the lobby like others suggested, just in case), and I�ll update.

There's a whole standardized thing about what to make of a grown man who refers to women as "females". It's pretty simple.

I'd guess he worked there for a while and got promoted. "Manager" isn't generally something that requires a special license or certification, so it's not uncommon for someone to get there without much in the way of qualifications or training at being a manager. And of course there's also nepotism and favoritism helping someone get a boost, but they're not necessary.

When I worked at the Casino, (a soul sucking horrible job), we were allowed to take a day off for no reason if it wasn't a weekend, wasn't adjacent to a weekend, or adjacent to any other days you had off. So practically we could take off any Tue, Wed, or Thursday, so long as you called in and gave enough notice.

Any other day off, you needed a doctors note. But given how awful the Casino was, doctors knew. So when you went in to the local GP for your mandated note, all you had to do was say "I'm *koff koff* sick and I need a medical certificatefor my time off work", and when the Doctor found out where you worked, they immediately reached for their pad, scribbled something ineligible, and told you to gently caress off and stop wasting their time, coz they had actual sick people that needed their help.

AITAH for dumping my GF after moving in with her

quote:

I 25M, moved in with my gf 24f of four years, three weeks ago. She chose the place and although her name is on the lease I paid half of the deposit and paid the first month of rent as she couldn't afford it. I also paid the first month of bills. She works part time and has some savings she used to furniture the place according to her taste despite my objections. I felt she overspent and the money could have been better spent on other things.

she had a few friends over on Monday when I came home. She had ordered food and as I normally come home from work at five she was surprised to see me there an hour earlier. They were a little drunk and one of her friend made strange comments, which I thought nothing of due to the alcohol as I went to the bathroom to shower.

When I came out from the shower her other friends and sister was quoting me poetry that I had written to my gf, and was quite handsy. I found it odd and asked her where she had heard that. She goes we just read your loveletters to her before watching a movie. My gf was laughing with them. Her sister made a remark about how she wanted me to do her the way I do her sister because she had never felt that way. I was furious but due to her drunkeness thought it impossible to talk to her.

I left for my mother's house.

On Tuesday she called me seventeen times but I ignored it. she also sent many text wanting to know why I wasn't home.

On Wednesday I told her in person how hurt I was for her sharing my intimate letters with her friends, and for oversharing what we do in private. She said relax it was a joke and nobody got hurt. She said the girls were impressed with me and that is why they got a little handsy. She said once I gave her the letters they were hers to share with whom she pleased. So I told her that I am my own person and can make the decision to not share more of myself with her.

Today she came to my mother's apologising. She wanted me to come back and talk it out with her. I told her no, and that we were through. She wouldn't leave so I drove to my father's place, where I am now. She kep texting me and telling me that I should be ashamed of myself for leaving her like that. She got her friends and sister to apologise to me and they told me to quit playing games and go home now that they had apologised. I told them I was home and that as my name was not on the lease and I wasn't respected as an equal in her home I no longer wanted to be with her.

Luckily for me I hadn't moved most of my stuff there. She kept phoning and texting and I blocked her. She then made a mutual male friend of ours contact me and tell me that I was being a bitch about it. So I blocked him too. Then his gf texted me and told me not to take things out or proportion.

I am almost certain I did the right thing, but maybe I should talk it out with her before cutting all contact.

OP: I'm hurt by this thing you did!
Ex: Hey no one got hurt.

Gender swapped version of this would lead to the police being called.

AITA for getting mad at mommas boy

quote:

Earlier this evening I came home from work later than usual, tired and hungry. My boyfriend, his son, and uncle came over to do some yard work for me. I ordered everyone pizza. My area doesn't have delivery, so he and his son drove the quarter mile to pick it up. 40 minutes later I'm calling him and he isn't answering. Finally I get him on the phone and he had picked up the food I had paid for, took it to his place and fed his mother, himself, his son and uncle. He told me he was on his way back with what was left. I was livid. I don't like his mother. I had thought he was picking up the food and we were all eating here and if there was any left overs he would ask to take to his mother. I got cold left overs of the food I bought. Of the 2 large pizzas the one I really wanted had 2 slices left. Apparently it's also his mother's favorite. I got mad, he said I'm being rude about him feeding his mom.AITA

Additional info: it was nearly an hour before he made it back with what was left of the pizza. the taco pizza that the guys like was about half gone. lettuce was soggy and wilted. the Supreme I wanted and ordered half with olives half without, had 2 thin slices left.

UPDATE: as I am reading this out to him and all the comments he is storming around my house pissed off because "it wasn't like that, they were hungry and ate a few pieces, and fed his mom. it wasn't leftovers." but nobody ate anymore when they got back here. so they all had their fill first.

ANOTHER UPDATE: the last words he said before turning on silent treatment. "he can't do anything to suite me. he tries to do something nice like pick up our dinner and multitasking by feeding his mom, but I made a federal case out of it and blasted it on internet, and nobody really knows how it is. because it wasn't scraps it was half of one and a few slices of other, but it wasn't left overs". And now he not speaking to me. he is accurate. half of the pizza I don't really care for that was now covered in wilted soggy lettuce and unfit for consumption. and the one I did choose for myself they ate all the half without olives and I picked olives off of the cold 2 slices that remained for my dinner. so he is accurate there was some left. not much, it was cold, all the half I ordered for my own taste was consumed, but they might not technically be considered leftovers.

FINAL UPDATE FOR TONIGHT: he went to sleep pouting. I told him go home, he refused. he can't pout if Im not around to see it. I'm exhausted so I just let it go for tonight. I have big day tomorrow breaking ground on 2 new projects, so I don't have energy to keep fighting with him tonight. the big fight final fight will come, I know it needs to. this pizza incident is just 1 of MANY so i know it needs to happen. he is like a screaming baby when he isnt getting his way and i cant stand to listen to it. so i been putting it off. thats my bad.

Also, the yard work is mostly the mess they made. They decided my yard was best place to tear down the kids broke down vehicle. I own my house, he lives in apartment, so he had made the mess they were cleaning up.

AITAH for dumping my GF after moving in with her

OP: I'm hurt by this thing you did!
Ex: Hey no one got hurt.

Gender swapped version of this would lead to the police being called.

What I don't get about stories like that is how the apologizing party seems to go to great lenghts to get the other to return but can't help but call them a bitch about making a fuss and being hurt like a a baby. How is that supposed to advance the end goal of getting one to come "home".
