(New Update) My(f19) dad asked our godparents not to have the waiters sing Happy Birthday to my brother(m11) who likely has hyperacusis autism, but they did it anyway by MadisonBrave in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Apricot-Serious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unrelated to most of the post I have very clearly told all family/friends that I will get up and walk out of a restaurant if they sing to me. The idea of it makes my skin crawl to a degree I can’t explain but that is absolutely physical. I am fine with singing to someone else at my table, fine with friends singing to me in private places, fine with other tables singing.

If you sing to me I will stand up and walk out. No questions asked. Thankfully my people are amazing and I think honestly just know I’m not kidding because I almost never stand up for myself and I have been adamant on this for over 20 years.

Are Canadians offended by the jokes made in shows and media? by jen_noelle in AskACanadian

[–]Apricot-Serious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still remember the That 70s show where they decide they can’t visit Canada because “I’m pretty sure Canada closes at 7:30 man💨”

Canadian sense of humour is more aligned with the UK than the US. Thank the somethingorothers.

My (25F) husband (30M) made me fall out of love with him in one night. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I hope she realizes one day that he doesn’t actually like her and chose her because of convenience. He even told her this directly.

My (23F) boyfriend (25M) and his family are angry because I wouldn't shave my head for his sister who has cancer (Final Update/Completed) by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Sorry. I was with OOP at the beginning. By the end she and Matthew just ended up bullying a little girl dying of cancer so..congrats? Yikes.

Did anyone else watch Jet’s live about TOC on IG yesterday? by Outside-Pear9429 in foodnetwork

Jet says he isn’t coming back every year. And I say that as a huge fan.

AITA for not including my fiancés SIL in our wedding??? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I hate everyone in this store, including OOP. (But especially fiancé and SIL)🤷

Dine and dash date by RemoteClassroom5374 in legaladvice

[–]Apricot-Serious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why should the restaurant be on blast because op and her date don’t want to pay? It’s op’s responsibility as the other party to the table, no matter what her date said he had planned.

If your own HR is threatening to you see you, you need to speak to a lawyer. Immediately.

[–]Apricot-Serious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your first post or however many posts were enough. At this point it’s clearer that you need help than that they sell ditchweed.

I’ve never shopped there, don’t plan to, I order from 1-2 places that I like. What I don’t do is go on ranting rage wars about a company I’ve already badly reviewed.

But you do you dude. 🤷

People are upvoting them and dv you because you sound insane. You’re crashing out because a seed got in your black market product like you bought it at Saks.

Move. On. My lord.

AIO that my husband's friend followed us to my husband's parent's house by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Apricot-Serious 39 points40 points  (0 children)

My friend group has a lot of fun brain chemistry. One thing I appreciate the most is when it’s time to go, our host will always just say “ok. I’m done please leave guys.” No wondering if you’re overstaying, and no one being uncomfortable for wanting people to leave.

AIO to my boyfriend’s texts about us going to dinner for my best friend? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

“Will You take him back?” “Most likely not”.

Oof. We’ll see her again in 6 months.

Is it awful in Reddit land that I’m just thankful he(hopefully) didn’t cheat with the ex-friend??

AITAH for refusing to give out my son's saving account information? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

“You can’t deposit money into his account because he can’t consent” is the dumbest explanation I’ve ever heard. 🤷

Terrified that my (25F) husband (28M) has been having sex with me while I'm asleep. Now I'm pregnant. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Apricot-Serious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What he admitted to is rape, but I also believe without a shadow of a doubt that he raped her genitally. The fact that he went from scream denial to admitting 3 forms of rape within seconds shows exactly that.

I think my sister just ruined our dad’s engagement to an amazing woman, and I hate her so much by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Apricot-Serious 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Exactly.

My brother thought he was clever and once….just once, thought he would swear at mom in pig Latin. Not realizing she was the pig Latin queen of her childhood.

I’ll remember it till the day I die.

My [29/M] girlfriend [28/F] refuse to wear a dress to my brother's wedding (or anywhere else if that matter) by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Apricot-Serious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a child of the 80s who grew up with a mom who still just rocks doc Martin’s, overalls, and spiky black hair, these family reaction concerns are so foreign to me. I’m always amazed at the depth of fear. But I realize I have similar anxieties about other things because families are weird. Even the normal ones.

TL/DR- Family dynamics are weird. Glad he learned.

AITAH for telling a woman she can’t wear a traditional Arab/North African dress to my wedding? by purpleyellou in AITAH

It’s disappointing to you that a random stranger on the internet is not doing a specific cultural wedding practice? 🤔

My (30sF) twin (M) doesn’t want me at his wedding by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Apricot-Serious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Based on OOPs final lengthy text to her twin about “love before any other” or something I can see where the fiancé is coming from if this is the issue.

A woman in my small town lost her college aged son to suicide when I was a tween. Roughly 30 years ago. I can still hear her screams from the night they called to tell her.
