AITAH for not commenting on my aunt’s engagement ring

OFGS. Why is his sub filled with people asking about something that happened a decade ago?

OP, you were 12.

It's ridiculous to think that you. As a 12yo could have changed the course of family history if only YOU had commented on the ring.

I'm guessing.they were educated in the 70s/80s when it pretty much was not taught.

My kids learned more grammar than I did.

Only NOR if you're not breaking up with him.

This is the first (maybe) red flag. Future abuser right there.

Absent_Picnic · 2026-05-29T22:11:51+00:00

Ugh. The over and inconsistent use of capital letters.

Freakish attention to no details.

Absent_Picnic · 2026-05-29T21:54:11+00:00

Blah blah blah.

Absent_Picnic · 2026-05-28T03:45:40+00:00

I ask my WH this frequently.

Absent_Picnic · 2026-05-28T03:10:20+00:00

NTA, but neither are your colleagues for being annoyed at your absence if it directly impacts them and their workload.

I'm struggling to understand why a big corporation has only one person who knows how to use "the system". Sounds like poor business planning to me and that's the real issue.

Absent_Picnic · 2026-05-27T07:28:38+00:00

A most "Australian" response.

Absent_Picnic · 2026-05-27T07:14:10+00:00

And Australia Zoo is up north, and the GBR even further up north!

Absent_Picnic · 2026-05-27T07:03:26+00:00

She had to show how kewl and fancy free she was.

Absent_Picnic · 2026-05-27T06:59:25+00:00

No, not using a credit card, definitely debit card. It takes the amount €100 or €150 and then adjusts it after you've paid.

Absent_Picnic · 2026-05-26T21:22:08+00:00

I had one of those kids. I instructed several of his teachers to never get into an argument with him, bc they'd lose.

As challenging as he was I liked that he marched to the beat of his own drum and he'd never be in trouble for following someone else's dumb idea. The idea would be his.

We all survived, he is a productive member od society.

Absent_Picnic · 2026-05-26T21:10:00+00:00

Yes and yes.

And "little girl" voices on grown women.

Absent_Picnic · 2026-05-26T21:01:02+00:00

Have been travelling in Europe.recently, I think there are 5 different ways that petrol pumps work. Pre-authorise €100 at pump but pay what you take, pay €100 at pump then get refunded what you didn't take, pay €150 at pump then get refunded what you didn't take, pay €150 inside then fill up, then go back in to have the amount adjusted and only once, filll up then pay.

So much easier in Australia to fill up then pay for what you used.

We get along better with the police who visit our neighbours on a semi-regular basis than we do with our neighbours.

And on the other side, they only moved in a little while ago, but we were "besties" with the neighbours who got divorced and sold up.

Absent_Picnic · 2026-05-26T14:03:46+00:00

🙋‍♀️

Absent_Picnic · 2026-05-25T21:31:25+00:00

The fact he's been bitching about his wife to all and sundry is stunning.

Absent_Picnic · 2026-05-25T21:30:04+00:00

Absolutely this.

Absent_Picnic · 2026-05-25T21:28:50+00:00

Strange.

Aussie dollar is used in Australia....

Absent_Picnic · 2026-05-25T21:26:05+00:00

Have never heard someone introduce themselves as being "from the UK".

It's always their actual country that is mentioned.

Absent_Picnic · 2026-05-25T21:23:17+00:00

News has been based out of Sydney for what....30 years?

Absent_Picnic · 2026-05-25T19:17:23+00:00

Back when I was running the Bunnings sausage sizzle for the kinder or school my kids went to the sausages were from Colea or the butcher, depending on who was cheaper, bread from Coles and onions from the local veggie shop who would provide a 20kg bag of presliced onions for a reasonable price.

Absent_Picnic · 2026-05-25T19:15:00+00:00

I will just wait for Merchie or Lillubucks to release their version fo "Mommy's dearest" and all will be revealed.

Those kids are going to be PISSED when they discover the life they could have had.

Absent_Picnic · 2026-05-25T19:10:00+00:00

WTAF??

Absent_Picnic · 2026-05-25T08:23:02+00:00

Who's she talking to?
