You're getting called an rear end in a top hat either way, so I would just not invite these five if you're so worried that you hired security.

Well, yeah. $1800 extra for 5 people? Geddouttahere. They can watch on Zoom or something.

It is an increasingly rare thing these days and a lot of people seem to actively resist the very idea. "Clearly state my intentions and/or desires? Why would I do that?"

We don't even know that she was actually complaining though. It could easily have been something like "oh god remember that rear end in a top hat Brad I used to go out with, best sex of my life but I can't believe I put up with his other crap for so long, so glad I got out of that and have a decent boyfriend now" kind of thing and friend decided to poo poo-stir.

So was this actually someone's bare rear end, or did this woman feel threatened by sagged pants, a fashion that has been around for over three decades and is associated with gangsters and the inner city?

pretty much this, I've definitely ruined a pot + burner before by steaming some artichokes and forgetting about it while doing other stuff, and so now if I'm cooking something I either stay in the kitchen the whole time & read a book while I wait for like, the rice to boil, or set a timer, or both. Even if you're filling the entire sink it takes like what, 5 minutes max? just look at your phone for 5 minutes dummy

Yeah, but I've never seen a sink without an overflow. Is he blocking it somehow? Is he running the water so fast the overflow can't keep up? How's he doing it?

No surprises to anyone except Pantaloon Pontiff, who is presumably still trying to figure out how she got on the plane after this controlling bastard stole her ticket and imprisoned her in italy

It's "hey we're on a hiatus while I'm im Europe mmmkay" girl all over again. Who are these people who think their SOs are going to be cool with "hey gonna unilaterally try out a bit of strange seeya later WHY ARE YOU BEING SO CONTROLLING!"? Is this some bizarre tiktok trend?

Yeah, having a hard time figuring out what would lead the manager to do this in the first place, because I can't see the benefit in it unless they were pocketing the money they saved by using an unapproved airline. Instead they completely hosed over their subordinate, left them stranded, and then didn't tell anybody what happened because they were "embarrassed." Don't know how you keep your job after that.

Yeah, I can't see why (Ask A Manager and commenters are outraged at the company). OP is 100% the rear end in a top hat there.

Even charging him rent at all to live in the family house during the early years of covid seems like a really loving terrible thing to inflict upon their child.

They made OP pay a high rent and did jack poo poo with the money. They didn't even invest it so it could grow into something larger down the line. OP only received an extra $4300 after four years. The meager gesture was the final nail in the coffin for OP

I'm glad grandad understood that, at least.

Jesus christ how about actually just talking to her and saying "how about we get a copy so when you're going to a concert or something you can take the copy"

of course she's going to be pissed if OP did this without telling her and she was worrying for nothing

If they can't talk about stuff like this they shouldn't get married anyway though

Depends on what she escalated to saying. Sounds like it was juicy!

OP is probably the rear end in a top hat here, especially if the moving back home is for less than a month or two and extra especially if back home already has those appliances.

Yes, the roommates could spend $20 at Ace hardware to get a replacement toaster but that just means OP is extra petty for taking it.

Yeah, I mean why bother loading them up and unloading them? Just leave them where they are unless they're ridiculously expensive and/or likely to go walkabout.

She called him an unappreciative rear end in a top hat, but ... what was there for him to appreciate? What part of that day was supposed to be for him? Watching her shop, or watching her eat food he doesn't like? Did she even get him a gift?

They were spending tiiime together! He's such an unappreciative rear end in a top hat!

The probability distribution of a murder suicide occurring in a specific places makes no difference in terms of the expected probability of one occurring a second time given that one occurred to a first time compared to one occurring for the first time if two events of murder suicide are uncorrelated, and based on the central limit you can still get a normal distribution of the frequencies in that case, which is what I assume you actually mean by murder suicides being normally distributed.

Why would you go out of your way to buy a first aid product that has zero scientific evidence to support its effectiveness?

I like Nelson's Burns Ointment because I'm clumsy and tend to singe myself on kitchen equipment. But I suspect the benefit is mostly from the white paraffin, fat etc keeping the burn soft rather than herbal woo.

It's absolutely mad. In 2018 I was able to get a two bedroom flat in a nice bit of Nottingham for £625 a month. Now you'll pay £200 more than that, you MIGHT get a one bed for the same price. £25k a year means you're taking home about £1.800 (as long as you're not paying into a pension, which you should be but I get why you might not on that salary). It's like... call centre supervisor level of money while the OP is on mid ranking civil servant money. I cannot imagine being on anything less than six figures and bothering with a prenup, what does this guy think is going to happen to him?

It's his mum wants the prenup.

Autism or ADHD can contribute to this kind of behavior. The guy needs to a see a therapist at the very least, but more than likely needs to talk to an actual psychiatrist.
