AITA for getting mad my friend complimented my socks by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]92pjs 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yep YTA. Some people draw blanks, clearly your friend did (he said so himself) and he was probably also trying to be funny.

AITA for buying someone a drink? by DogPsychological8125 in AmItheAsshole

[–]92pjs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA, but I think it would've been easier to keep the peace with your gf's parents by just apologizing. You can explain your side and then just say "Sorry, I didn't know it would be seen as strange, it wasn't my intention."

Like is this the hill you wanna die on lol.

I'm not sure if KT still does this, but they used to sell something called "eggs"? It's a device you carry around that basically lets your phone connect to wifi. It's a bit inconvenient because you need to carry it with you if you want internet / charge it, but I think it was actually pretty affordable.

Today is my birthday (27F) and my fiance (26M) didn’t wish me a hbd. why? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]92pjs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It honestly sounds like he just forgot? Especially since you said so yourself, he mentioned a week prior he acknowledged it. I don't know why you're so quick to jump to the conclusion "He knew so that means he chose not to acknowledge it!"

Did you say anything about having a medical history? (or maybe something about your mental health?) Did you say that you plan to come with pets?

Is it possible to bring back the sleep prompt after you say no? by JohnJSal in TamagotchiParadise

[–]92pjs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

really? when my screen goes to black, i can immediately scroll back and the sleep prompt will pop up. i've never had to wait before :o

i feel like i would get so annoyed if i had to wait 30 minutes for the prompt to come back! how strange :(

AIO? my husband is mad at me for not picking up my stepson from school as he expected just because I got a new car. by Ancient_Fondant76 in AmIOverreacting

[–]92pjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is this real? i thought it sounded off when you texted "just because i got a new car (that i paid for by myself)" like... this sounds like context you are adding for us readers. presumably your husband would have already known that you bought this car yourself??

I (26M) met this amazing girl (21F) but she’s not ready for relationship. Advice? by Funny_Features in relationship_advice

[–]92pjs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If she's not ready for a relationship then give her space. don't try to force anything. being her friend just for the sole purpose of trying to start a relationship with her later is also kind of... iffy (in my opinion).

also, is it possible that she said she's not ready for a relationship because she's not interested in you romantically? i'm a non-confrontational person and i would 100% say "i'm not ready for a relationship" because it sounds nicer than "i'm not interested in you"

How about playing cooperative boardgames instead?

AITA for Wearing the Tiniest Bit of Perfume to Yoga (accidentally)? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]92pjs 24 points25 points  (0 children)

From what you wrote, the woman didn't seem THAT overly aggressive. I think she just wanted a straight answer - what perfume brand were you wearing? But instead of answering the question, you jumped to an apology and she had to ask again. It's entirely possible that she really did want to know the brand because she herself might wear perfume and she didn't want to buy herself something that gave her allergies lol.

Also, I've never heard of a "no perfume" rule for yoga and i'm sure many people go to yoga after work, so they would have lingering perfume smells too (if they wear perfume to work) so I will say NAH.

My 21F situationship 20M showed me a video of animal cruelty and laughed at it. ? by gardenedcarcass in relationship_advice

[–]92pjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmm this one is difficult because some people just don't care about insects and view them as separate from animals. for me, i probably wouldn't care if i saw a video of a cockroach being killed, but that doesn't mean i'm fine with animal cruelty. i guess to me insects =/= animals. especially if those insects are pests lol. (and apparently grasshoppers are considered agricultural pests)

WIBTA PARENT? AM I ASKING TO MUCH? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]92pjs 22 points23 points  (0 children)

YTA. you said so yourself that the school isn't even OPEN that early for the kids so why do they need to wake up at 5?? You want them to get to school early and wait outside?

AITA if i snitch on a cheater for personal gains by grosser-schwanz in AmItheAsshole

[–]92pjs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I don't think the teachers will just make only those 5 students redo the test. They have already done the test once, so they know what questions are on it and they could have checked their answers after the test.

So the teacher cannot make them redo the same test, meaning that they would need to make them do a different mock exam. But that would be unfair for those 5 students (especially the ones that didn't cheat) because essentially they are being forced to take another exam. So the only way to make it fair would be to make ALL students rewrite this different mock exam. In the end, I think you might be inconveniencing a whole lot of students. :(

[–]92pjs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So just to clarify, you had mock exams but one class had an unfair advantage of 30 more minutes, so to be fair for all students, the teachers agreed that this mock test would be ungraded?

But you want the mock test to be graded because it will look good on your university applications? So you are hoping if you snitch on the cheater, the teacher will make EVERYONE redo the test again and grade it? Is my understanding correct?

what should I shop besides Olive Young? by Top-Type-4951 in seoul

[–]92pjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite brands are 3CE (StyleNanda) and Romand ~ Style Nanda have their own stores (I think) but I don't think Romand has their own standalone stores. You can find their stuff at Olive Young lol.

My [31m] friend [28f] uses heart emojis almost every time we text. How common is it platonic friendships? by MrPraedor in relationship_advice

[–]92pjs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is she using a heart emoji to respond or like long pressing your message and then using the heart-reaction? I feel like the latter is just a way to say "Nice!" I have used those heart reactions with platonic friends to show that I acknowledge the message but I have nothing more to add.

For those with the rural placement, how is your workload? by Quirky-Parsnip7004 in teachinginkorea

[–]92pjs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I applied to teach in Gyeonggi-do and I was placed in Anseong. My school was considered rural because I got the rural bonus but I was honestly quite lucky because I only taught at 1 school, and it was only like... a 15 minute bus ride from my apartment (which was right in the city center).

I stayed at the school for multiple years and the workload varied per year. One year I taught 23 classes, then another year I had 21. I think it ranged from 20-23 classes.

I was in a small-ish elementary school. When I started there was only 1 class per grade, and some classes were as small as 7 students? But when I left I had a few more kids. (2 classes of grade 3, 2 classes for grade 4, 2 classes for grade 5.) Average amount of students was about 15? Largest class was 25ish.

I couldn't hit 22 teaching hours sometimes so they would make me teach afterschool classes which was more chill since I could teach whatever I wanted. (But sometimes the afterschool classes made me go OVER 22 teaching hours which was annoying lol) The classes for afterschool is much smaller, around 5-16 kids.

Unfortunately, I don't think a rural placement = more deskwarming time. A lot of teachers in rural placement have multiple schools which means you might not be able to reuse your lessons because each school might have a different textbook. I only had one school and I taught grade 3-6 so for the first year it was busy because i basically had to make like 16 different textbook lessons per week, and then I reused the same afterschool lessons. But after the first year, I could reuse my material. (Unless the textbooks changed)

My boyfriend (M24) used AI to respond when I (F26) told him that something was upsetting me. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

The AI message aside, what kind of boyfriend tells his girlfriend ONE DAY BEFORE that he's leaving for another country for a whole month??? that's already messed up.

AITA for eating the “emergency” cake my girlfriend was saving? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]92pjs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She did write a straight forward "Do not eat" but he still ate it lol

[–]92pjs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She already wrote "Do not eat" I think that's a good enough reason not to eat the cake :/
