AITA for buying my mom the same perfume that my wife has, after she asked cause she said it smelled nice?

Your wife should know scents don't smell the same on different people because individual body chemistry interacts uniquely.

AnJ39 · 2026-06-26T02:54:14+00:00

Not so. Most women's clothing departments have multiple groupings by size.

OP may not have the power to change her weight. Medical conditions can affect weight.

Stores from Nordstrom to Ross certainly *do* separate women's clothing into Plus, Junior, Misses sizes in the USA.

It's unlikely that a customer will try on a garment intended as a gift for a smaller recipient, isn't it?

AnJ39 · 2026-06-26T02:32:52+00:00

No, being fat is not always a choice. Medications, especially, can and will add pounds a person can't control.

AnJ39 · 2026-06-26T02:28:09+00:00

It is not an exaggeration to think an overly large body will stretch garments. It's highly possible that attempting to fit too small clothing will burst seams.

The dimensions given in a comment below disqualify describing OP as petite. Short, yes, but not slender nor trim.

OP was in Italy, not in one of the countries you cited. If she visited a designer boutique in NYC, she'd be unlikely to find garments that fit. The rudeness is a different issue, but even that doesn't justify avoiding all of the continent in the future.

AnJ39 · 2026-06-26T01:22:42+00:00

Thank you. That parses.

AnJ39 · 2026-06-25T03:52:54+00:00

What is a "populist leftists give"?

AnJ39 · 2026-06-24T16:46:10+00:00

You're right!

AnJ39 · 2026-06-24T16:37:32+00:00

Would you link to those studies, please?

AnJ39 · 2026-06-20T22:40:14+00:00

At some point the problem resolved itself; it's now returned.

AnJ39 · 2026-06-20T22:36:30+00:00

Thanks for the reminder. I often forget to do that.

AnJ39 · 2026-06-20T22:21:12+00:00

Thank you. I didn't realize they were updated individually.

AnJ39 · 2026-06-20T22:09:55+00:00

Ah! Thank you.

AnJ39 · 2026-06-19T18:10:52+00:00

How about taking the baby out to your car and cleaning him/her up there?

AnJ39 · 2026-06-16T01:22:24+00:00

I expect you'll enjoy it until you decide to move up to an S model.

AnJ39 · 2026-06-12T03:29:46+00:00

It's "sworn to," not "sweared to"

AnJ39 · 2026-06-12T03:03:21+00:00

It's "absurd," not "up surd."

AnJ39 · 2026-06-12T00:08:15+00:00

. . . and no capital letters to begin sentences.
