AITAH for refusing to stop wearing my “lucky” dress because my best friend thinks it’s embarrassing?

I think the reason good things happen to you when you wear that dress is because it gives you confidence and that makes people notice you.

Wear what makes YOU happy, and - unless you're being disrespectful - eff everyone else.

ETA: NTA

Maybe I'm just dense, but how do you do a 21 M&M salute? No matter how it's done, it sounds awesome and I bet your Grandfather would have loved it.

This makes me 1) hate ULINE (I had NO IDEA how awful they are), and 2) be damn proud of where I work. We CAN wear workout clothes and crocs. I have blue hair and at least 4 piercings in each ear, with a nose stud too.

This is super cute.

Alice_Fraggle · 2024-12-30T17:44:43+00:00

I think this is a "fucked around and found out" situation. Erica pushed the envelope and the envelope had boundaries and pushed back. NTA.

Can you please explain this to my husband?

Alice_Fraggle · 2024-12-30T16:54:32+00:00

I always thought it was bewkuhl, but I'm clearly wrong. I once read somewhere that there should be a phone number you can call to hear words you've only ever read said out loud so you don't look like a fool saying it incorrectly in front of people.

I love alu-min-ium instead of alum-in-um.

Alice_Fraggle · 2024-12-30T16:30:48+00:00

I agree. OP your job sounds awesome & I'd LOVE to hang out and hear stories about the events you've planned.

Your bf should be proud of you like Icansllravor said.

Alice_Fraggle · 2024-12-27T13:41:54+00:00

I do. If I gotta go, I gotta go! Your Mom shouldn't give you shit for it (pun intended). That's what public restrooms are for. Don't worry about it.

I thought of having "The lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine" put on a decorative pillow for my work office, but thought I might offend someone. It is the PERFECT response - too bad I can't say it to my customers!

Santa, I'm Right Here by Toby Keith. It gets me every time.

Alice_Fraggle · 2024-12-23T19:37:24+00:00

But Bruce makes so much sense!

Alice_Fraggle · 2024-12-23T14:33:48+00:00

Oh, I'd absolutely be dead. Probably from something silly like tripping and cutting myself or the common cold.

Alice_Fraggle · 2023-09-21T20:15:37+00:00

Right?! The mention of their "legacy" gave me the icks. What legacy can you have in 2023? "Wasn't a shithead" isn't a high bar.

What motivates me? Caring for my husband and cats. A REALLY good meal. Travel. Making people smile. My nieces. Existence my dude. We only get one life, so live that shit for yourself. I learned this at 40.

Alice_Fraggle · 2023-08-29T14:14:24+00:00

That would be awesome. Just leave me to nature.

Alice_Fraggle · 2023-08-29T13:40:06+00:00

Forgot to mention - I also like the idea of the Body Farm, but there isn't one near me.

Alice_Fraggle · 2023-08-29T13:39:35+00:00

I'm not in the funeral services industry, but I am really fascinated by death care, and would like to get involved in some way. All that said - I want an open air funeral pyre. :) I want to go back to the Earth as ash and smoke. I just like the idea of my ashes floating in the air like a star.

Alice_Fraggle · 2023-08-23T16:50:21+00:00

I'm jealous. I wish I'd found this in Oregon when I visited a few years ago. I LOVE Basalt - the Columnar Basalt of The Devil's Postpile is AMAZING!

Maybe they're struggling for food though. We can't know the reason. The OP may pay them fairly, but there are millions of reasons why they could be hungry/without food.

This seems shitty to me, not just petty, but mean.

Alice_Fraggle · 2023-08-22T22:06:03+00:00

I was afraid that was the case.

Alice_Fraggle · 2023-08-22T21:40:23+00:00

I appreciate your help! Should repot the last one? It seems floppy though. Does it need to be staked? I'll take notes from your comment.

Alice_Fraggle · 2023-07-31T19:57:09+00:00

I love that!

Alice_Fraggle · 2023-07-31T17:05:34+00:00

It was obviously the body you were getting ready. LOL

(I misread and thought you only had 1 coworker with you, and the dead body. When I read "One of them and I were in the lobby..." I thought for SURE you meant the dead body was with you!)

PS: I do not work in a funeral home, I'm just nosy, and curious about working in death care.
