It's off somewhere eating breakfast in a hotel bed.

edit for content

AITA for refusing to answer to my grandparents "nickname" for me?

quote:

I (15f) started living with my grandparents last year because my mom ended up needing to be taken care of and couldn't take care of me. So my grandparents took me. Ever since I moved in they have tried calling me "Elizabeth". That is not my name, that's not even my middle name. I have always used my first name "Astraea" or my a cutesy version of middle name which sometimes gets used for a nickname but is not connected to Elizabeth at all. My grandparents never liked my name. They admitted that to me when I moved in with them. They asked me if I would be okay with a nicer more classic name and I told them no, because I love my name. They asked me if I would like Emily because that was their unused girl name when they finished having kids and my answer was no. So when I rejected Emily they decided Elizabeth was the way to go.

They call me Elizabeth and not my name or my middle name or even the cutesy version of the middle name. It annoys me so freaking much. I have asked them to use my name but they told me the name is weird and they have no idea what my mom was thinking of when she named me. They told me they tried to get her to pick a normal name but she was set on that and she was 19 so at that stage where listening to your parents is seen in a negative light.

I reached the point where I refuse to answer to or respond to them when they call me Elizabeth. I will totally ignore them. My grandparents told me I'm being rude and I would want to start thinking of my future and how a name like Elizabeth or Emily would be better received by future employers and other adults in society. They told me even without that it's rude to ignore people and to refuse to engage with them.

AITA?

I went to look at the comments and reddit is mostly voting NTA :psyduck: I guess that, yeah, on the surface of it uninviting a close family member over slinging some mud is an overreaction, but it's pretty clear that there's a lot more going on here between 1) mom "accidentally" hitting her future DIL instead of her husband and going to console her husband for not being hit with mud and 2) the rest of mom's family ganging up on her son for not defending mom enough.

Yeah I was on his side until I read this

I didn't see it make impact, but immediately saw the result. My mom was embarrassed and ran to hug her husband, calm down, apologize.

That reaction doesn't make any sense if the mom actually gave a poo poo about the fiancee. And he didn't see it happen.

the abuse guidelines are very much an Old SA type of rule: "it's OK if it's funny"

the main problem is, people who come from well-adjusted childhoods (by goon standards, anyhow) see a very run-of-the-mill abuse story and go ":eyepop: wowee lookit how crazy this is!!" and want to share it because it seems weird and exceptional to them

Some people also read posts here and go hey that’s normal and then find out no, it’s abuse, I was abused.

This post would make 100x more sense if people had said "oh its just 100 miles away" instead of "a two hour drive"

What is so uniquely terrible about middle England that isn't even worse in Ohio or Western PA

I googled maps’d Derby to Manchester and there’s a lot of turns and roundabouts, there’s only like 3 stretches that are over 8 miles with the longest being 14, so you’re basically having to make a turn every couple minutes. Sounds pretty annoying actually when compared to just driving for a couple hours on an interstate, but probably isn’t really that bad. There’s roundabouts!

AITA for fighting with my wife about the lights in our house?

Try this yourself to see where I’m coming from. Try to hang out in your living room after work around 5pm with no lights on in the house, or any time throughout the day on a weekend.

In my old apartment, the lady upstairs had just moved in and she flushed like 100 wet wipes down the toilet. They clogged up right at my bathroom, and backed up a bunch of gross stuff into my bathtub and bathroom floor. I discovered this by stepping in it right after I woke up. They had to use a hydro jet to cut through all the wipes and unclog the line. I also got the landlord to pay to clean it up, but I’ll never forget the sight of it.

Wet wipes are not flushable. I mean, technically, they are able to be flushed down the drain, but it’s like flushing a towel. It doesn’t disintegrate like toilet paper does, it just gets clogged.

The lesson is never buy a house with only one toilet, and OP's wife should have let him have a bidet in OP's toilet.

Or she could stop being weird first so OP wouldn't have to out-weird her.



AITA for bringing a generic product vs the name brand I was asked to bring?

OP shouldn't have waited until the last minute, and should have gotten what was directly requested. But that doesn't excuse the mil for being hilariously passive-aggressive. And if it was so important to have the terrible topping, she should have gotten the Cool Hwip herself.

Op should have gone to get the name brand stuff, maybe with the dad so they can bond. Who cares if it’s unimportant to you, it was important to the person you’re trying to impress. The fact that he knew it was wrong and didn’t say anything about it even after arriving and hearing them talk about buying the correct brand makes him the rear end in a top hat. He didn’t even apologize for bringing the wrong thing.

Wasn’t this related to WoW, and the origin of the term “poopsocking”? I swear I remember the detail about the duffel bag.

Edit: I guess I just conflated the story and the term, the Know Your Meme article only has references to Urban Dictionary definitions as the oldest sources.

AITAH for eliminating a rattle snake after it threatened my niece and nephew?

Posted by Reddit user "Snakemaster2002"

gently caress this dude. I’m an avid hiker and I’ve ran into dozens of rattlesnakes. They just want to chill, they will leave you alone if you leave them alone. It wasn’t even rattling. The most I’ve ever had to do is kick dirt at one because it was laying longways on the trail. It just slithered off. His actions were completely unnecessary.

“California sober” specifically means you don’t drink but you do smoke weed, and maybe other drugs too.

Wedding invitations should have:
An agenda
Location
Gift rules (if any)
Meal options
Bar status (open/cash/none)

ESH because the invites didn’t specify bar status, but op shouldn’t have assumed, and shouldn’t have sent the Venmo request because he ended up going out and needing the sitter/Ubers/airbnb anyway.

The Sentinelese, famously known as one of the last uncontacted primitive peoples left on the planet, have been seen waving their dicks at the observers, ironically sometimes at actual helicopters. There's probably nothing closer to a universal gesture, except for maybe this (from Wikipedia):

This story from LegalAdvice is short, but I just like how well the even shorter title sums it up. And while I'm not exactly a police fan, a guy like this getting arrested for sucker-punching a cop who actually wasn't doing anything wrong works for me.

I like how the op doesn’t say how they got involved, they’re just suddenly being held down along with their friend.
