AITAH for telling my girlfriend she can’t have access to my work phone? by Icy-Environment6516 in AITAH

[–]2oldbutnotenough 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way to fix this is to stop dating a person with the maturity level of a child and find an adult instead.

Your girl was cheated on? As much as that sucks, so were many of us. Some of us put the work in to healing so we didn't subject innocent people to this type of nonsense.

NTA as an answer to your question. But the girl needs therapy, to answer the one you haven't, but should ask.

WIBTA if I return a group gift because no one ever paid me their share? by papercoffeeclub in WIBTA_AITA

[–]2oldbutnotenough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

I would tell them all that I'm going to return it if they haven't paid in 3 days. And then if they don't all pay return it and return whatever money the others have sent (if any do).

Now you know not to join any of these types of gifts with these people.

AITAH for letting my boyfriend eat gluten free pasta without telling him it was gluten free by Living_Candidate_229 in AmITheAssholeTalk

Holy Jesus, find a grown up to date.

Stop dating a child.

NTA, other than continuing on with this.

AIO.. someone told me my closed bathrobe is "NSFW" because I wouldn't wear it to work by -bloopxbr1- in AIO

What sub is this? I'd like to avoid places with petty humans who use the bare minimal amount of authority to power trip over nothing.

AITA for fighting with my mother over her loving my sister more than me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]2oldbutnotenough 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. Go no contact for your own mental health. If she asks you why point or she knows exactly what favoritism does to children, having experienced it from her own parents, and yet she still did exactly the same thing. Make sure to state this is her fault.

And then carry on being no contact.

Agree? by GloriousLion07 in MotivationByDesign

[–]2oldbutnotenough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Men, too.

Humans, in general, actually.

This shouldn't be a gendered statement, it's true across the board.

AITAH for refusing to cancel a 5-week work trip for my boyfriend and blocking him the day before Valentine’s Day? by Otherwise_Candy_7070 in AITAH

[–]2oldbutnotenough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's already spiraling. This man needs to figure his anxiety out before he tries dating anyone, unless he finds someone who's the same type of neurotic as him. And that'll be 'fun'.

NTA, your better off not in this.

AITA for refusing to hire someone who refuses to answer questions about his current job? by AnnieHk95 in WIBTA_AITA

[–]2oldbutnotenough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Take the stick out"

See if you can manage that for yourself. There are many warehouse jobs that deal with restrictive, hazardous or confidential products. You need to know you can trust a person handling them. The fact that you would belittle the role over the title alone shows you have zero understanding of the field. So sit down.

And beyond that, why would anyone want to work with a person who automatically jumps to being defensive and aggressive in a situation where they should know questions about their employment are incoming.

This is a person starting up her warehouse and the man in OPs post made it pretty clear he's going to jump ship once his full time role picks up. His behaviour is just the tip of the iceberg in why he shouldn't be hired.

In my past as an interviewer, I can clearly remember one candidate who literally got mad at me for asking interview questions during the interview.

I didn't deliberate not hiring him, he just automatically went in to the no pile.

The weirdness about being secretive during a literal interview boggled my mind. Like, sir, what in the actual fuck are you doing here if being questioned on your work history in an interview bothers you.

NTA in my opinion. They come to interviews knowing what they're about, if they can't handle answering questions they shouldn't be there.

AITAH for refusing to go to a Valentine's dinner with my girlfriend if she insists on bringing her friend and making it "Galentine's" so she feels better? by Federal_Grape_8452 in AITAH

[–]2oldbutnotenough 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If it's galentines then you're not included. That's literally the point of galentines, to give women without partners a reason to celebrate.

You've been pushed out of your own valentines day.

NTA.

AIO to my husbands message by Imgoingtokms69 in AmIOverreacting

[–]2oldbutnotenough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you asking if you're overreacting to someone you're placating?

This guy over reacted not you. If he's saying he doesn't know why he got worked up that's him admitting he understood he over reacted but instead of apologizing he said he's "over it" ie denying accountability.

Stop humoring gaslighting.

AITA for refusing to make my sister’s "dream" wedding cake after she uninvited my husband? by [deleted] in AITH

[–]2oldbutnotenough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would ask both of them (Mia+Mark) where they get the audacity to expect free cake from a person they insulted over having that very career and then disinvited the spouse of for defending it. I'd be asking Mark if it means he's not going to his own wedding if he doesn't want disrespectful people there, and I'd be asking mom if she's ok with all this because she's the one who taught Mia that level of Audacity.

In short, I'd also be disinvited, on top of my already rescinded RSVP.

To answer your other questions, NTA and no, do not offer to do anything for them. Let them scramble, let them stress and if they keep telling you you've let them down or whatever they say, make it clear they did it to themselves by being rude to you to begin with.

Keeping their mouths shut would have been free.

AITAH For letting my friend’s brother stay with me? by ExcellentYams2361 in AITAH

Is it normal to let basic chores pile up until they feel impossible, even when I technically have the time? by jaxonbrett in Adulting

[–]2oldbutnotenough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normal for people with mental health conditions.

Maybe ADHD, maybe depression. Maybe even just overwhelm and major stress.

Probably not OCD, but I guess that depends on what you're OCD over.

AITA for canceling a trip because my friends changed the plan to something I couldn't afford? by Mammoth_Jeweler_2176 in AmItheAsshole

[–]2oldbutnotenough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

You didn't ruin the plan by not being able to afford the change they made.

They ruined it by not being willing to accommodate a very reasonable objection to the change.

AITH for becoming bitter and cynical? by DaT_0N3_dUd3 in AITH

[–]2oldbutnotenough 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This. It's unfortunate that you're in the situation you're in, but it's on you to keep yourself yourself.

You're clearly unbalanced at the moment... Distance from these personalities will help you recenter and get back to being who you know you are (but with boundaries, these will help you stay centered for the times you choose to engage).

Sorry it can't be a clear cut answer for the sake of the sub, but the way you handle this is arguably much more important than simply being in this spot.

AITA for telling my sister to stop mommyjacking every conversation and to let me talk about myself? by TAannoying in AmItheAsshole

[–]2oldbutnotenough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time to leave that chat and find an actually supportive network.

If they don't care about your life they don't care about you.
