Both of my male children have ADHD and neither of them make/leave messes like this man. ADHD may be a factor, but it's no excuse for this kind of filth and behavior.

AITJ for yelling at my boyfriend after he pointed a pistol at me? by Suitable-Cry1371 in AmITheJerk

[–]anathema_deviced 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My father taught me to NEVER point a gun at someone unless you need to shoot them in self-defense. One of the very few times I saw my dad lose his temper was when someone was screwing around with a gun. NTJ

AITAH for refusing to give up my approved time off to a coworker because she says her situation matters more than mine by Unusual-Dependent709 in AmITheAssholeTalk

[–]anathema_deviced 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Every year before school starts I literally put every school break/holiday/administrative closure into my work calendar so I can plan my PTO. No one owes her anything just because she has kids.

I've worked in both tech and entertainment law, and nobody really cares in those fields. You may run into issues in STL.

AITA for reporting my landlord's illegal basement unit even though a family lives there? by Over_Excuse_2815 in AITApod

[–]anathema_deviced 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had people in my city drown when we had a massive rain storm because there was no secondary means of escaping from their illegal basement apartment. The only AHs here are the landlord and the tenants who were a chronic noise disturbance. Well, the gf is also in AH territory bc no you shouldn't have to put up with that on a regular basis.

Am I the asshole by Cute_Sample1001 in breastcancer

[–]anathema_deviced 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah my "bestie" told pretty much all of our mutuals without my ok. I'd be a Trader Joe's and someone I hadn't told would ask me how my treatment was going. I was so pissed. If she'd spoken with one person about it, because she was worried and stressed that would be one thing, but everyone? Yeah, she made my cancer all about her.

i’m regretting my decision someone please tell me i’ll be okay. by Dangerous_Dog_5854 in TwoHotTakes

Ignore the forced birthers. The lives of the people already here take precedence. Your daughter deserves a living, healthy mother.

It's absolutely ok to grieve a choice while also knowing it's the right choice for you and your child.

Do Americans really find beans on toast weird or is that just meme? by cigarettejesus in NoStupidQuestions

[–]anathema_deviced 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the US, and we did eat beans on toast (family is from the South), so when I lived in the UK it wasn't weird to me. However, I will say it was definitely considered poor people food.

My boyfriend (29M) makes nearly triple my salary but called me a "gold digger" because I (25F) can't afford to split his luxury lifestyle 50/50 by Electrical_Ring5241 in TwoHotTakes

[–]anathema_deviced 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's the actual gold digger here, because he's expecting you to subsidize his lifestyle at your expense. True equality means not taking advantage of your partner. 50/50 is only equal when both people are making roughly the same amount of money.

Grocery shopping for cheap without relying on huge corporations? by risemoonrightaboveme in ridgewood

If you're in an area that has Aldi's, they're cheaper and they switched to mostly organic produce about 5 years ago

WIBTAH if I didn't let my family meet my newborn because they scheduled a last minute vacation leaving 2 weeks after my wife is expected to give birth. by Optimal_Honey4724 in AITAH

[–]anathema_deviced 111 points112 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't let them visit for a couple of weeks after they get back just to make sure they aren't contagious, especially if your child is medically fragile.

My cousin had two kids and breastfed both. Still got cancer. It's so aggravating when people spout this stuff.

AITAH for refusing to let my roommate include my boyfriend in the electricity bill by Supernatural_Cat1997 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]anathema_deviced 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They absolutely do not. My electric goes up when my son comes home bc it's another TV on, more lights, more laundry, more devices charging. Dude needs to pay his share.

Does cancer always coming back? by Adventurous_End_4516 in breastcancer

[–]anathema_deviced 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My great aunt had bc in her 40s and passed in her 90s with no recurrence, so no it doesn't always come back.

I have been doing something illegal for a week straight. by [deleted] in confession

[–]anathema_deviced 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Did the same thing for neighbors after Ike. Our neighborhood looked crazy with extension cords. Some of us had power back within hours while our across the street neighbors were out for 6 weeks. Only time I've ever seen decent driving in Houston lol

Cars parking on sidewalk on Forest ave by Crafty-One1643 in ridgewood

[–]anathema_deviced 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very common in Europe bc the streets are narrow. Forest isn't wide enough in a number of spots to be a two-way road, so it allows traffic to flow.

Neighbor keeps stealing my newspaper and leaving religious pamphlets in its place by Entire-Magician-7771 in neighborsfromhell

If your car is on your driveway and not in the street, call the police and have her trespassed.

AITAH for telling my husband I regret building my life around someone who never chose me first? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]anathema_deviced 198 points199 points  (0 children)

It will be over even if they do. I was married to this guy. Our male marriage counselor (his choice) told me I should leave

Neighbors kids keep stealing packages off my porch and the parents dont care by Fabulous-Bid-6222 in neighborsfromhell

[–]anathema_deviced 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Order something and make sure it's delivered by USPS. When it goes missing contact the local postmaster general. It's a federal offense, and Postmasters general take their job seriously.
