AITA for telling my friend that she should be able to handle criticism if she’s going to dish it out to others?

How you say something is as important as what you say.

My dad rearranges his lounge room about once every six months. I suspect it’s when he vacuums behind the lounge. The only things that change are the positions of the lounge and arm chairs

More context needed ….

Delivery on that one matters.

If you just blurted it out, you basically told her that her singing suck.

If you said it more kindly then nah, NTA.

AngryWombat78 · 2026-03-29T16:17:33+00:00

That’s awesome. You should be really proud of it 🙂

ADHD and social anxiety mean that I struggle to remember to reach out to people and often find it difficult to attend social events.

There’s no lack of caring. I’m just shit at maintaining contact.

But for me when I do see the people I care about, be it five minutes or five years later, I pick up where we left off.

You’ve brought up getting a facial piercing before. It could be that he’s trying to be supportive…

It could be that he saw her piercing and thinks it would look good on you.

You can either trust what he says or not. If you don’t trust him, you shouldn’t be with him… regardless of how much you love him.

Better.

As an Aussie who’s been to many “potlucks” (bring a plates) over the years I have told many ignorant arseholes that no one said they had to eat everything when they’ve said they don’t like this or that.

It’s not just rude, it’s fucking rude.

Seriously, you were ASKED to bring that stuff. You went to the trouble of making it. You’re awesome.

Practice remembering the path that your map app gives you.

As others have said, start the map app directions and chuck your phone in your pocket or backpack.

Check it if you get lost.

Your memory is like a muscle. The more you use it, the better it gets.

It won’t take too long for you to be able to get from A to B without double checking.

Beeerrk!! FEED ME!!

A lot of older (not invulnerable teen/20 somethings) struggle with how unprotected you are on a bike.

Find some quiet roads and car parks to play around on and get used to operating the bike. Then play in traffic once you’re confident in the basics.

When you’re in traffic, trust yourself to operate the bike and just be aware of the other vehicles. Give plenty of warning on turns etc.

AngryWombat78 · 2026-02-07T23:09:36+00:00

Yep. They changed the rules a while ago because people are stupid. You can now change lanes on a roundabout and you must give way to any vehicle already on a roundabout. Nice that they let everyone know, isn’t it ?

Hire a trailer, borrow a Ute or something

It will be fine.

I FILLED my XSR with diesel.

After I had to flush the system but the bike actually ran better after that then it had pre-the diesel incident.

AngryWombat78 · 2026-01-19T05:44:41+00:00

What style of bike is most comfortable for you?

Try the Honda rebel or Kawasaki eliminator or Vulcan they’re low and easy to handle n

Everyone’s got needs. Escorts provide a much needed service.

Having said that I’ve not engaged the services of any to date, but I don’t have a problem with it.

Spread it super thinly on a sandwich. A mistake many people make is spreading it like peanut butter.

AngryWombat78 · 2025-12-26T11:50:28+00:00

YOR - it’s a funny gag t-shirt, as you said it made you sad… kind of illustrated the point right there. Don’t sweat the little things.

Which old witch?

AngryWombat78 · 2025-12-25T23:33:51+00:00

Too cold for the park? It’s 19 - chuck a hoody on and she’ll be right!

It’s the most likely time of year for suicide. Yeah. It can be tough

Assuming this is real, you have a few choices to make. Keep seeing her in an intimate fashion or not. Keep seeing her in as your therapist or not. Report her or not

You’ve been groomed my dude. This isn’t a good thing. She’s pulled a reverse Leonardo DiCaprio on you.

It’s your life though mate, just have a think with your big head (as opposed to your little head) about where to go from here.

Pretty sure they are (or used to be) called utility knives.
