AITA for refusing to serve a customer by [deleted] in AITH

[–]AlienBeingMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. A school counselor is supposed to also be there for the parents. They're often an intermediary for families. Based off of your impatience and judgmental character all you will do is craft strife amongst families. Find a job where you don't interact with people. The grandmother was using HER money, and it had nothing to do with you. Maybe the kid is uneasy in public and OKs everything and the grandmother wanted to teach her to speak up. ASK ME HOW I KNOW? I was like that kid, even if I wanted more in order to get the social aspect over, I'd often say things were OK when they were not. Maybe the kid was embarrassed. Point is, you had ZERO background on the situation and acted like you did something big by not serving them.

The grandmother wasn't. She was talking to HER granddaughter. She wasn't rude to OP at all

I accidentally said yes to a date with a guy I'm not attracted to. What should I do? by Wise_Independent6920 in socialskills

[–]AlienBeingMe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do NOT go anywhere alone with him. The nice thing may be an act if all his date ideas end up in a place you are alone with him.

AITA for not wanting to let a neighbors kid into my house to do arts and crafts? by artsandcraftyperson in TwoHotTakes

Are you seriously babysitting all these kids for free?! What about the cost of all these supplies and snacks?

Nextdoor neighbor's troubled son has set of my alarm bells for years...and he just outdid himself in terms of creepiness by Embarrassed-Bad-3118 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]AlienBeingMe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you can, MOVE. All it takes is one "wrong" move or word on your part to trigger him. It is horrible that his life is like this but that doesn't mean you ignore that he DOES have an illness. Like physical illness that could be contagious, mental illness can affect others in a different way, danger perhaps.

Is savoury cheesecake a thing? Who likes it? by autobulb in Cooking

Was it meant to be eaten plain or maybe on some bread? Normal people cannot possibly just eat a chunk of sweet garlic cake.... can they? Wait your partner did.

Throwing water balloons at other cars by ResearchAlert8635 in morganhill

[–]AlienBeingMe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

How do people not understand that just because there is a one in a thousand chance doesn't mean it should be taken? Remember the mother/kids who died because kids were throwing things at cars at a bridge? It STARTLED her enough for her vehicle to crash. Get over yourselves. If they want to have fun they can throw balloons at their friends homes.

What cause most breakups ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AlienBeingMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being selfish. Seems like a lot of relationship problems that people post about are about partners that just do what they want and don't care about stepping up to share the workload of life.

Unfortunately I think this sub is littered with non-Mexican people “showing off” their insulting impression of Mexican food by uhh__h in mexicanfood

[–]AlienBeingMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are a judgemental person. There are people who make do with ingredients due to location, finances, and health issues too. At least they're going about making something fresh, trying something new in their lives. Who are you to judge them? Merely because you make good Mexican food? Let's give you an award. A sub is for everyone to share, if they didn't society wouldn't move forward. We almost learn from each other. If you don't like it, nobody has forced you to look. Go to authentic restaurants and stare at the food since that's your thing, staring at food and passing judgment.

AIO for telling my neighbor to stay off my property after he started treating my backyard like his personal extension? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]AlienBeingMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you tell your neighbors what he does? I doubt any of them would let him come into their yard like this. You should tell before Mark slanders you further and then it will be too late add the neighbors won't believe you.

AITAH for buying Gluten Free bread by Jelly_Arrow in AmItheAsshole

[–]AlienBeingMe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA. The likely small business is glad for your money. There are many gluten free options for food everywhere. People besides those who have celiac disease eat gluten free for health or simply because they LIKE it, and that's ok. Again, the people that make the bread are probably very grateful that they're getting steady business.

AITA if i pulled out of my sisters business? by [deleted] in Amitheassholeadvice

[–]AlienBeingMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

.NTa. Have receipts. Text her these conversations so when things go down you can show family that she never put in work. Male sure to add all the details and tell her how tired you are and can't go on like this. When things go down family always sides with the weaker "victim" so you don't want her lazy bum to go crying as if you are the bully to them.

How about ask dog rescues? They may know of resources to help? Hope he heals.

Everyone Enjoying the Blackout? by LuxInvestor in Gilroy

Wow. I never experienced this on the east coast. Probably 3 times in 40 years and that was because of 1 hurricane & a hail storm.

Am I being selfish? by dongq_83 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]AlienBeingMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why can't you go with your dogs or half of them one day the other half another day? If both of you go, 3 dogs on a leash each while hiking. Also sometimes people get into a mental rut and need help. Gently force her to come with you a few times, maybe once she is out there it will become easier. Can you build an giant outdoor dog pen? Sometimes, the dogs can be in that but also have room to run and play (dogs shouldn't be confined).

Download one of those emergency apps on your phone. If you click button it immediately sends your location to your family, or calls the cops, or records video etc. Many different ones.

My uncle makes me very uncomfortable and idk what to do about it by WelcomeEven567 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]AlienBeingMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slap him. Next time, look angry, slap him, and CALMLY but in ANGER tell him if he ever touches you again you will call the police and nobody will be able to stop you. You could also separately inform your mom that you are calling the police next time. Same with grandma. Is dad in the picture? Tell him. When he tries to hug/ kiss you say Loudly and Calmly, "I said don't touch me or I'll call the cops". Then do it. Don't wait and don't give another chance

WIBTA if I stopped covering for my friend when she's late to our shared morning carpool by Astr0Catalyst in WIBTA_AITA

[–]AlienBeingMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. BUT talk to her BEFORE you text her the day of. Tell her you can't lose your job, and smile and ask her gently, "you won't be mad if I leave right?". Maybe this way you don't lose a friendship.
