trickybiscuits posted:AITA for not wanting my mentally ill sister as my bridesmaid? I was assuming Down's/Autism from the title, but the post makes me think more along the lines of bipolar/narcissistic. Either way sounds like her family is full of people that don't really care about the OP and only remain friendly so they won't have to take care of her sister.

Absurd Alhazred posted:I could swear they were set up to not be eye straining. I used to have to wear them quite often, and they weren't annoying because they required you to focus too near - in fact, I had to wear my prescription glasses while I used them because otherwise it would be "far away" blurry. Yeah, I'm pretty near sighted and if I wear a VR headset without glasses things are blurry. From what I've read online they're set up for an average focal distance of around 5 feet.

I have a copy of a friend's house key because she lives 5 minutes away and if she ever locks her keys inside then I can just go unlock it for her. Or feed her cats if she gets stuck working a double out of nowhere. The important distinction is she wanted me to have the key, and I didn't just go out and make myself a copy of it without her permission.

Halloween Jack posted:One I keep remembering is sort of the opposite of picky eating: the OP whose girlfriend wanted "a bite" of every single thing he ate. It's the kind of thing that would be cute maybe once or twice. It was worse than that, she wanted the FIRST bite of everything he ate. And got super upset with him when he finally took a bite of a fast food order in the car before getting home.

Why would the siblings still expect him to pay for a funeral he wasn't allowed to attend? After she "apologized" and then promptly did nothing to change? Oh right, because they don't want to pay.

limp_cheese posted:Am I missing something here because the idea that trainers/mangers should have high turnover and the most reliable should never be promoted seems really loving stupid. I've seen and heard it being pretty common that being good at your job and doing extra ensures you'll never be promoted, because then someone else would have to do what you're currently doing. maybe two someones. So bad managers look at that and don't want to lose their experienced employee so they don't promote them ever, and I don't think I've heard of a single company that gives people like this actual good raises to keep them around, so you end up with people like this poor girl who are doing the work of someone a couple positions their senior and coming in whenever they can getting paid 25 cents an hour more than someone working their first day there.

Kurieg posted:The new middle school that was just installed in my home town has something silly like a five mile exclusion zone for bussing. Ours was two miles as the crow flies. Which made my house just barely inside it. One of the bus stops was literally across the street from my house. I had to walk past another one to walk to school. My parents said it was loving stupid, just take the bus and if anyone complains tell them. Dad was on the PTA and was very good at raising hell for stupid poo poo (like when my sister got suspended for bringing a multitool to class, which her teacher had asked her to, and someone else stole it from her and took out the knife on it to cut a piece of paper)

Bright Bart posted:Car people weight in if thisbis necessarily the case. Usually if the damage is that much, you'd just write off the car and get a new (or used) one. A friend of mine had a year-old Civic that someone backed into, and the total repair bill came out to something like 9 grand and his insurance wrote it off. Then again, he went through insurance and this guy doesn't want to. 15 grand from a sideswipe sounds like "the frame was damaged" territory to me, which would be something you'd probably want a new car for anyways.

Elviscat posted:I'm about 275 at 6'4, I'm a big muscular guy, and obviously overweight on top of that, I'm also a side-sleeper. I have the exact same problem as OP where I crush the mattress, which is about a year old, properly set up on the recommended base. The mattress springs back pretty quick when we rotate it to my GF's side, and the foot portion doesn't get as hosed up as where my hips and shoulder lay. It's not a bargain-basement mattress, but it's on the cheaper end. I'm down about 15 lbs over the last year, but ~230 is my minimum and just over what I wrestled at in high school when I was doing an hour+ of cardio every day, and that's heavy enough to destroy mattresses too. Memory foam?

Malachite_Dragon posted:Yeah, it really loving sucks, and for whatever it's worth you aren't alone in the frustration. Either we're allowed to express ourselves, or we aren't; fuckin pick one, people, you can't have both. From my experience, we're entirely expected to be brick walls up until the moment we express ourselves, but our expression has to be one of the approved, nice ones. Kindness, caring, empathy, thoughtfulness. Got negative emotions bottled up in there? "Man up, you loving pussy." Or "No one cares, shut up." EDIT: Or the even better ones, where they go "You can open up to me, I want to listen and be there for you" and then when you do literally the only reaction you get is "oh, that sucks" and the conversation getting dropped. That one's a loving blast. Yes I have some pretty severe mental health issues, why do you ask?

GordonTheDeadFish posted:For my mind, the missing piece of the puzzle here is stepdaughter's biomom, and how she handled the situation. Was she sympathetic to OP's situation and welcoming of her daughter, or was she dealing with her own blended family and finances, leaving OP's stepdaughter feeling unwelcome anywhere? Had dad/OP's partner previously been primary custodian, and what was the story there? Out of the OP's hands of course, but will have dramatically affected the impact on stepdaughter. Also, with the stepdaughter suddenly going to biomom's full time, did her father have to pay additional child support, making the OP's family finances harder as well?

Beachcomber posted:Ok, so the question is when the notice is coming. If it's coming at dinner time, that's like an hour delay on dinner every day, which sucks. Lunchtime is about the ideal time to be making special dinner plans, really. You shouldn't be working, especially if your lunch is unpaid. Texts are pretty quick as long as both parties are paying attention, and even a quick "hey I want to go somewhere different for supper" text any time before lunch can make it easier to accommodate, both physically and mentally. I know I'd hate it if I came home from work and my SO immediately hit me with an "I want to go to a restaurant 45 minutes away for supper" without knowing in advance.

Evil Willow posted:My boyfriend 24m says that he doesn't want me 23f to initiate sex anymore as he feels emasculated. Jesus, I've been in two relationships being the man always initiating, and that poo poo is loving exhausting. It always ended with me being expected to be able to tell when she's in the mood (because no obviously means no, that was never an issue), because if I initiated when she wasn't too much then she'd get upset with me over it. I'd have killed to have them be initiating even ten percent of the time. Neither of those relationships got very serious, and that was certainly a part of why.

I feel like he could have asked "Is there anything you'd like me to do?" instead of "Do you need help with that?". 'Cause sure, if I'm doing a cleaning task 90% of the time I don't want or need help with it, but there's probably other poo poo that needs to be done as well. She could also have said "No, I don't need help with this, but these other things need to be done, mind doing some of them?" But then they'd be adults capable of communicating well, and therefore not on Reddit.

Dude doesn't want to drink alcohol and is tricked into drinking it? Yeah, he's right to be mad. Following her around yelling at her isn't the right response, though. You get mad, express you're mad, and if they're unapologetic, you leave. Given that he's apparently "mildly sexist", though, the best result for everyone is if he just hit da bricks and they never talked again. "So my friend is generally sexist" and "He is a mildly religious person" plus the not drinking makes me thing he might be mormon? At least based on what I've heard about that religion. Don't know why OP wouldn't just say that, then.
