As someone with EMT experience and who has been around lots of awful awful things, yes you do get a morbid sense of humor (my wife is an ER nurse which doesn't help) but seriously if anyone I was ever working with asked me to move a body so they can look at their rear end I would have no problem telling them to gently caress off and reporting them cause that's horrific.

The fact that the cops on scene were disgusted should tell you all you need to know about that behavior and seriously why the hell do I need to argue this

couple dynamics are a thing. i have known people whose relationship involved constant sniping at each other but if you spent any time at all around them it was obvious they loved each other very much and it was just the way they expressed themselves.

that post is absolutely not an example of this, since it hurt the dude immensely for her to make one tiny crack about it. it was a stupid thing to do.

Yeah my wife and I actually talked about that AITA post this morning before we went to work and while we do joke around a ton with each other she also wouldn't make that joke since she knows I have been cheated on in the past. That being said we are both adults so i would have told her not to joke like that or explained why it hurt instead of freaking out and demanding paternity tests.

She came home once after triaging a guy who during the interview had a line that was placed in his neck come out and spray arterial blood all over her. (all she did was stick a finger in the wound and calmly tell his wife they are going to take him back immediately)

But the point is being covered in blood is pretty much the opposite of a turn on for me

I worked with someone once who intentionally misremembered my name over and over as some sort of dumb bullying power-move, so I appreciate that. gently caress those people.

I have found that being completely oblivious is the way to handle morons that do those sort of "power" moved. I was in a meeting once where the guy had put all the seats down super low except his so I raised mine up to be even with his and he kept raising it up so I would and he got so flustered he ended the meeting. He wasn't even a supervisor

He would also try the trump power handshake so people one guy just held onto his hand for a super uncomfortably long time after he tried the handshake and it was really funny how angry he got

I actually ran into a person who was horrible to me in high school, but she either didn't remember it, or thought I didn't, because she was rather nice and chatty and not at all the bitch she had been years back. It's possible that I remember her being worse than she was, or that she simply forgot how horrible she was, or a combo of both. But seeing as I was in a customer service slot and she was the customer, she easily could have made my life horrible, and didn't.




AITA for making my 4 y/o help me with household chores?

OP did mention in later comments she would teach a son the same things. Honestly for little kids, even sweeping can be a game for them. And they don't understand that putting toys away is a chore and not a game, if you do it right. Set a timer, play some music, have them run about putting everything in baskets, little kids love that.

My two and 4 year old will have actual meltdowns if they don't get to help clean. For dishes I will just keep handing my 2 year old the same baby spoon and she goes and puts it away while I clean other stuff, then sneak it out and hand it back to her. And my 4 year old loves using our vacuum to clean up after they eat.

while the woman may have indeed come from a time where infant mortality rates were much higher, I can't imagine it was ever good etiquette to predict to a stranger their child's imminent death

especially at the grocery store

context is key, here

People say completely insane poo poo if you are doing anything that doesn't fit their pre conceived notions regarding kids. For example, I took paternity leave so my wife could go back to work shortly after our oldest was born and I went grocery shopping on a weekday with my 3 month old and an older woman flat out asked me if my wife was dead because why else would a man be out food shopping with a child

Comparing how different people react to different types of traumas is really stupid and is one of the reasons people who undergo something traumatic don't seek out therapy because they feel that whatever trauma they went through can't be as bad as someone that went through something else that's traumatic.

For example, I stopped a suicide a few years ago and it was pretty traumatic but I held off on therapy because in my mind I had A. Gone through worse in the past and B. Felt that what I had undergone was not as traumatic as say being shot at or mugged. So instead of seeking help when I started to have issues I put it off.

I mean, I legit got no poo poo attacked a year and a half ago and the guy later admitted he was trying to kill me and I ended up hurting him pretty badly and obviously survived and was completely fine afterwards. Called my wife, told her I would be late and slept like a baby afterwards.

So again judging people's trauma is stupid and counter productive. If I had nudes get leaked out that would probably gently caress me up mentally pretty bad and I can picture it being something I would need therapy for.

AITA for asking my brother to go home after he flew in to see me?

This seems like a contrived scenario that has to end with someone getting stuck in a washing machine.

If someone comes up to me and quietly says they are being followed and ask me to pretend they know me I have no problem doing it. If I am out and someone randomly comes up and hugs me and starts talking about how they know me I am pushing them off and walking quickly away.

But this could also be solved by everyone apologizing to each other

I've been thinking about hasty military marriages, the ones where you mostly get married for the pay bump and ability to live outside the barracks.

Is the extra pay countered by the future alimony? You get the $2000 extra dollars a month or w/e for a few years but then you lose half of everything in the divorce and have to make monthly alimony payments. From what I have looked up it seems you will probably be paying like 20-25% or more of your total income in alimony for a period of around the same length as the marriage (unless you actually stay married for a long time, but we aren't really talking about those marriages).

According to a marine salary calculator I found, the average marine after 10 years of service will be paying like $1500/month in alimony. So like, most of that extra money ends up going to your ex in the end.

When my brother was in the Marines he and another marine decided to marry to get the extra pay. They both got deployed in different locations and pretty much forgot about it until years later the other marine realized she couldn't get actually married now and had to track my brother down (he has never had any interest in a relationship with anyone so this didn't come up for him).

Holy gently caress that poor guy.

I can see it in like 10 years. He runs into his bitch stepmother in the supermarket. They talk for a second, a conversation he initiates because he hasn't seen her or his dad in like 6 months.

She engages briefly and mentions in passing (like as a reference of time) that her husband died recently and he realizes abruptly that:

1. his dad died and
2. nobody told him such that he missed the funeral

I wonder how long she's been married to his dad and he's effectively been on his own, emotionally and family wise. Jesus.

He really reminds me of my brother who my wife's family thought was really weird and wouldn't invite him to stuff until I made a stink about it since he is a really good guy. He just happens to be a very large tattooed former marine who has never been in a relationship, is super awkward and just wants to spend his time doing wood carving. Which he is shockingly good at, he sells really intricately carved skulls (some done in mammoth ivory) and makes such a good living doing it he is putting himself through flight school just cause. But yeah that woman is terrible.
