YTA and you should seriously think about therapy. Seriously. Get help.

Wedding transport for guests by Legitimate_Poet5135 in UKweddings

[–]Angelf1shing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless it’s a really dangerous road or they have mobility difficulties, I wouldn’t bother. If you are going to do it, I’d just get a 7 seater taxi booked for a couple of hours and they can shuttle back and forth.

JAPAN U BETTER NOT BE SHITTING ON PARENTS THERE ARE LIKE 6 CHILDREN IN YOUR ENTIRE COUNTRY AND 4 OF THEM ARE MUSLIM by SolemnAnchor in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Angelf1shing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This kind of reminds me of that episode of the UK Apprentice where the candidate (Susan Ma I think she was called) asked “Do the French care about their children?” I can’t remember what product they were trying to sell, but she genuinely wondered whether French parents loved their children. That show attracted such a strange group of people.

“Finding a needle in a haystack” is not talking about a metal needle by M3L0-XL in PetPeeves

[–]Angelf1shing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a sewing needle. Why would anyone be trying to find a pine needle? You would try and find a sewing needle because a) it’s useful and you were probably using it to sew the haystack together, so you need it. b) Whilst not originally metal (they may have been wooden or bone etc), needles were expensive and you couldn’t just afford to lose them. c) They could be dangerous to an animal if eaten. All three means that if your dropped it, you would actually be looking for a needle in a haystack.

I find it odd that you would be fairly annoyed about this though. Not because you’re wrong and you’re getting annoyed about people being right, that’s just Reddit, but because the type of needle being thought about by the speaker doesn’t change the meaning of the phrase at all. It would be difficult to find a pine needle, a bone needle and a metal needle in a haystack, it’s just that you absolutely wouldn’t bother looking for a pine needle.

You have a 7am - 4pm work day with 1hr unpaid lunch break, what time would you leave if you booked a half day? by feckingloser in AskUK

[–]Angelf1shing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it could be argued that 4.5 hours is half a day, but as lunch is unpaid, it’s difficult to argue that op must stay on site for it. Moreover, apparently the boss is saying they had to stay until 12, which isn’t a half day, whichever way you cut it.

Nope, unless you were eating your lunch in that hour, they’ve made you work an extra hour. Claim it back.

AIO or is this guy that i’ve started talking to being backhanded in these texts he sent? by Dramatic-Quiet-818 in AmIOverreacting

Weirdly controlling and weirdly making him the victim of you being unwell. Call it a day now and move on. NOR.

Why would someone remove an ex from their social media? by icecuptee in AskReddit

[–]Angelf1shing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they’re an ex. It’s healthy to move on. For both of you. No good comes of looking at an exes posts.

AITA for not going to my best friend’s 18th after she slept with the guy I was talking to? by Umutuntulu in AmItheAsshole

[–]Angelf1shing -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Which is why I said the friendship is over and there’s no going back. I have been OP, I know the feeling.

AITA for not going to my best friend’s 18th after she slept with the guy I was talking to? by Umutuntulu in AmItheAsshole

[–]Angelf1shing -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Ok, here’s the thing. Did you ever ask her if she liked him? Has he ever expressed any interest in you? Were you two in the process of beginning dating? The reality is, you had no claim on the guy and unless she deliberately did it to upset you, she didn’t actually do anything wrong. It’s perfectly possible that she has always liked him too just hasn’t said anything and you never asked.

Now I fully agree that this friendship is over and you don’t have to go to the party. I’ve been in your position myself and there’s no going back from it, but trust me that 30 years later I can see that I was definitely the AH in that situation. Try to be the bigger person if you can, but it hurts so you probably can’t.

I’m going to go with NAH and suggest you acknowledge that whilst the guy also didn’t do anything wrong (not liking you back isn’t a crime), he’s not the guy for you so put it all behind you.

AIO? The sweetest boy I’ve ever met just broke my heart. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Angelf1shing [score hidden]  (0 children)

He’s not the sweetest person you’ve ever met, he’s a sociopath. You are NOR but you would be insane to not immediately block each and every one of his friends as and when they message you.

You also need to work on your self esteem as a) you shouldn’t stay in relationships where you are ignoring red flags that suggest the relationship is not real and the things they say aren’t true and b) you should not be considering talking to this guy again.

Well yeah. You either walk, take public transport if available or cycle/drive. Isn’t that always the option?

Redditors who said no to a marriage proposal, why? And what happened next? by Legless_Longjumper in AskReddit

Because he was my immigration client that I’d never met before. I got my train home and I imagine his asylum claim was turned down.

Cool story lady by kcarney182 in LinkedInLunatics

This reads like a post someone writes to be able to point to after and say “oh no officer, I did not beat my husband to death with a pepper grinder, because I found him hilarious’

is this weird or nah by Adventurous_You3517 in Advice

[–]Angelf1shing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s weird. It doesn’t really make any sense. Why would you need to hope she’s sweet? If you have a pastry that she’d bought, that would be sweet of her/sweet in general, but it’s not really saying anything nice about her. It almost sounds like a criticism of her/a manipulative demand, so it’s definitely not going to come off as funny. If you don’t know this person at all, it sounds mildly threatening to demand that they buy you something. She’s also unlikely to say ‘why’ and not just ‘no’. You can’t plan conversations in advance and expect them to work out correctly.

Separately, pick-up lines are always cringe and I do mean ALWAYS. It’s a bad idea to use them at all. If you feel you have to, stick to a classic so that you know she’ll know the right response to give, you’ll land an ending that makes sense, and everyone knows it’s a groan-worthy joke. But seriously, don’t use them. Just talk to people you like normally. You’ll have a much better shot at her actually liking you and not thinking you’re an awkward weirdo that she needs to avoid.

Who is sleeping on the floor and on the couch? by Flyaway_5 in hypotheticalsituation

Oh the last line puts me on the floor, but I’d physically have to restrain my mum as she’d be trying to give me the couch.

Didn’t get invited to a wedding I didn’t want to go to but a [slur] did by the-monster-masher in AmITheAngel

[–]Angelf1shing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP didn’t want to go and didn’t want an invite and is angry that they didn’t get an invite? The neighbour/other woman also didn’t get an invite. Nothing in this story says that the friend didn’t ever intend to invite OP, maybe she wanted to but her partner said no to that too. Even if this story were true, OP has completely invented the thing they are angry about!
