I believe in OP (because I want to, it's fun)

AITA for not paying for the damage on my bosses new car?

quote:

So I work for a fairly large company, not a huge corporation. We have roughly 30 locations in our state. I was driving one of our box trucks and my boss was behind me. I went to back into a parking spot and didn’t see that he had pulled into it first and backed right into his brand new car.

The damages come out to like $1200 and he wants me to pay it out of pocket. I feel like he should file a claim with our companies insurance because I was on the clock and in a company vehicle, he disagrees.

AITA for refusing to pay the $1200 in damages?

quote:

He was driving behind me, I pulled forward to back into the spot and he pulled in before I could, he was too close to the rear of the truck (it’s a big box truck) — basically in a blind spot following me and then pulled in. I never saw him.

AITA? Standing up at a concert

quote:

I like to stand and dance at concerts. I have been to MANY concerts. It’s a hobby of mine and I have never been asked to sit down. I always choose seats where I know most in that section will be standing. I also alternate between standing and sitting for most concerts.

Tonight, I (34 female)was at a venue that I’ve been to plenty of times before and chose a section where I know everyone stands. (This is an arena, so yes there are seats, but it was close enough to the stage that people stand).

The concert just started and I am standing. So is my entire row and the row behind me, except for the 2 girls sitting directly behind me. The man (60ish man) in the row behind them reaches over them and SHOVES me and tells me to “sit the gently caress down.” I say no and turn back around. His wife had to literally hold him back.

Now like I said, I alternate between standing and sitting, so I eventually sat down. They had moved at that point though.

So AITA for standing with my entire row and row behind me (and most of the arena), at a concert?


OP explains that she specifically got tickets for an area where people usually dance, that nobody's been bothered by it before, and that most of the people there were also already standing. But the comments section is full of folks lining up to lecture her about how she's the rear end in a top hat because everyone should always sit if there are seats. And... Really?

Yeah, different concerts have different vibes, but I've been to far more arena shows where people danced in the close seats than ones where everybody sat the whole time. But even if you think that OP is the problem for going with the flow of the crowd and the usual standards of that venue, that doesn't make her the same level of rear end in a top hat as a man who cursed at and put his hands on her because he didn't like her behavior.

I feel like there’s a pretty likely chance of people dancing at most concerts that aren’t chamber music or something; if dancing in the seats makes someone mad then they should probably just stay away from live music.

I had a similar experience wrt seating but even dumber: MLB game, the home team I’m cheering for is winning, and the older guy behind me gets all cranky when I stand up to cheer while the home team pitches for the last out of the game. Like… what? You’re at a live ball game, that’s what you do for the last out! Suck it up and stand up for the two minutes it takes for the at-bat, sheesh

The atmosphere at American sports stadiums honestly seems so dead. I went to a test cricket match that's 8 hours long (including lunch and tea breaks, naturally) and that managed to keep a lively atmosphere going for the entire time even though most of the day was taken up by a small South African man batting defensively.

Nothing ruins a good concert faster than being made to feel like you have to apologize for taking up space. There's a special place in hell for people like that rear end in a top hat and it has an obstructed view.

UPDATE AITAH for throwing out my SIL and her family

quote:

Quick update.

Yesterday my driveway looked like a scene from some Mexican standoff. They were out there discussing the matter while I refused to go out and engage. After two hours, yes two whole hours they left. They are curretnly at my in laws, but they made a promise to return to discuss the matter tomorrow as everyone will be home from work and that way we could all find a workable solution. Well, at least that is what my husband relayed.

When my huband got inside I told him that I would not have them in my house. I told him that he could clean up after them. Which he did. After cleaning up he asked me why I made him do that. I told him I was just as grossed out over other people's bodily fluids as he was, and unlike him I wasn't biologically related to them. So if he found it unsavory, imagine how lovely I felt in the past cleaning up after them. He promised to buy a new bin and bleached the sink three times.

Our strategy for tomorrow is that under no circumstances are they coming to live with us. His niece will be made to clean up the bathroom shampoo and conditioner mess. He left that part for her. In the meantime our daughter can use our shower.

We'll see how this turns out tomorrow.

Good for OP having her husband clean up after them. Brings home how disgusting they were being in a way he can't ignore.

From the story I am either missing it or she is doing a bad job of describing how messy they were being. The only concrete things I'm understanding:

1) Used tampon in trash can, but right at the top and not wrapped in tp and buried
2) Tampon of unclear whether it is used or not next to bathroom sink. I lean towards unused because you would really have to go out of your way otherwise
3) Some amount of soap and/or shampoo stuck in either tub or sink? Really not understanding what kind of mess she's referring to here

Similar things happened in the past where she would leave her sanitary towels on top of the bin lid in the bathroom instead of in the bin.

2) OP's husband bleaching the sink 3 times would indicate otherwise.

She definitely said that they were putting their bloody period products on top of the lid of the bin instead of opening it and putting it inside. She said the whole family did similar with kitchen trash too, just tossing their used food in the general direction of the trash but not necessarily getting it inside it.

So first date with this girl wasn’t going well on my end. She seemed to really like me tho so I was trying to end the date. She wanted to come over to my house and I said no bc I had therapy and the date needed to end. Her response to that was “oh I’ll just go with you and chime in.”

And I was like HUH? Chime in on my therapy?!

And she was so dead serious just like yah it’ll help I can like talk to your therapist

And that wasn’t even the weirdest thing she did / said the whole day.

So after that I blocked her and ghosted her and she had been spamming me trying to get an explanation and stuff and I just ignored it. Is that bad ??? Idk it just freaked me out so much I don’t wanna talk to her at all is that valid ????
