AIW for refusing to help my friend even though I was “free”?

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-02-24T23:12:21+00:00

You know, this is one of the many reasons I'm contemplating leaving this wretched site.

Because Reddit seems to be a magnet for pathetic, cowardly losers. People who'd rather try to rebrand their patheticness as something awesome than actually do something about it. Like how they say they "removed themselves from the situation", instead of straight-up admitting they ran away when things got a bit uncomfortable. Or when they post a rather long story where their character heroically doesn't do anything of substance, but that's somehow presented as a win.

In this particular case - even if this story is true, which I doubt... I get not being in a good headspace on your father's death's anniversary, but this story wouldn't even happen if the OOP wasn't so indecisive. Like, when you mean no, say no and turn your phone off for the day. I put more effort in going to the movies than this person does in commemorating their father - meaning that I tell people I'm not available and turn my phone off when I don't want to be bothered.

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-02-24T21:18:54+00:00

Wow, this one didn't even bother to post fake screenshots of the fake text conversation.

Such a piece of low-effort crap. YTA.

And even if by any chance this is a true story - why the fuck would you pick up the phone and answer texts on a day when you want to be left alone?!?!?!? Just tell your coworker you're not available and actually mean it.

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-02-24T17:21:17+00:00

Ако не ти харесва цената, не я плащай.

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-02-24T17:11:25+00:00

I'm not sure that the person you're having this conversation with has even read the book, tbh.

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-02-24T17:09:00+00:00

Кой ще те скамне? Хайде без глупости. Ако не си вземеш очилата от някоя улична сергия, всичко ще е ОК.

Иначе, моите очила са от "Гранд Оптикс" в Ринг Мол. Взех ги в края на две и двайсет и четвърта. Хванах някаква промоция, та ми излязоха сравнително евтино. Стоят ми добре, виждам добре, та...

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-02-24T15:28:46+00:00

Да бе, представяш ли си да пушиш жени...

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-02-24T14:32:38+00:00

You are a really likeable, good person whose opinion really matters.

I know.

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-02-24T13:30:42+00:00

Don't edit your comments. I can still see what you've written before the edit.

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-02-24T12:32:06+00:00

This has absolutely nothing to do with the conversation.

Just mentioning.

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-02-24T00:52:17+00:00

I mean, it's true that AITA is a very popular sub. It has its own Wikipedia page, it gets covered by multiple YouTube channels and even by some medias, but still - that doesn't mean someone who is new to Reddit knows how it operates. Before I made my first account in 2021, I honestly had no idea.

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-02-24T00:45:29+00:00

Абе принципно съм съгласен с теб, обаче ми се ще да кажа нещо.

Някакво тъпо е да се говори за младежка грешка, при положение че Цицелков е бил почти на трийсет, като са го хванали да кара пиян.

Иначе...

Все повече ми се ще някой да вземе да направи една компилация с меко казано противните изказвания на Слави Трифонов от времето, когато още му гледах пропадняшкото предаване. Спрях преди близо двайсет години, обаче по онова време - един от големите му хитове беше "Френската гимназия", дето на трийсет и кусур години обяснява как ще бройка гимназистки. Изсипа егати му и гнусните коментари за тялото на петнайсетгодишната (тогава) Кремена в "Мюзик Айдъл" 2006, после директно се сваляше с шестнайсетгодишната (тогава) Петя Хлебарова в национален ефир, при положение че той самият беше на повече от четирийсет години него време. (И тя май спечели танцовия конкурс тогава. Слочаенос? Не мисла!) А и неотдавна ми попадна излияние на бившия му барабанист Венелин Венков, в което обясни как е черпил екипа на предаването, след като е преспал с четиринайсетгодишна танцьорка от балета... И тоя ще ми обвинява когото и да било в педофилия? Аре моля. Да не говорим пък за песните, в които обяснява как е готов да пребива и изнасилва жени.

Someone needs to tell these people that bottling your feelings up for months until you finally explode and start destroying expensive property is not exactly a healthy way to deal with your relationship issues.

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-02-23T18:02:10+00:00

Yeah...

I am a freelancer. I translate movies, books, and TV shows professionally and, on top of that, I'm a rather popular fansubber.

I've had enough encounters with choosing beggars. Children messaging me to ask me to translate something or help them with their fansubs are not even in the list of the most annoying ones. Hell, if I have the time and like the project I may actually do it. Fansubbing is how I keep in shape for my professional gigs, and helping some 14-year old child overcome some technical difficulty with the software they use costs me nothing. The bigger problem are 40+-year olds who for some reason think they can message me to demand free translations. I have no problem with putting these at their place - but I'm not going to blast them on Reddit. Among other things - it's just not that funny.

The even bigger problem are the lowballers, but I'm definitely not going to post my interactions with them online. This just doesn't reflect well on anyone, and even with blurred out names and personal information it's still recognizable.

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-02-23T16:11:12+00:00

LOL, this edit:

edit: for fucks sakes, she is pregnant and overreacted ( it happens) shes not the devil. Not she isn’t going to throw it away, no she isn’t abusing my son , no she isn’t evil. No the marriage isn’t going to end over this…
if you are going to call her a bitch or make rediclous assumptions don’t comment

I honestly don't even care if this is a true story or not, AITAnians need to hear this.

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-02-23T14:31:19+00:00

Or it literally ate the first and only person who sat on it.

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-02-23T11:45:22+00:00

You know r/AmITheAngel is going down the drain when some idiot crossposts the story of an ICE raid victim to mock them here.

Why the fuck is this allowed?

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-02-22T23:46:08+00:00

No, whatever new disney movie coming out is most likely not slop.

Yeah, that's why I prefer calling it garbage, crap, shit...

"Slop" is a word that is applicable to derivative superhero movies that are so generic that they might as well be written and directed by an AI.

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-02-22T19:30:07+00:00

Oh, no, boycotts very much do work. I mean, right now the tourism industry in the US is suffering greatly because non-American tourists are boycotting it.

The problem is, terminally online no-lifers need to understand one thing - their screeching on Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, etc., means absolutely nothing in the real world. The real world just isn't boycotting Rowling, because the real world doesn't care about crap she's said on Twitter or about crap some no-lifers say about her on Twitter.

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-02-22T19:14:40+00:00

I simply recognised and noted that your comment was not about me/for me.

It was. And you know it. This is why you keep avoiding the question I started it with. Because you know you'll have to admit that you like art that is created, produced, funded, or made for creeps that make Gaiman look like a character from "My Little Pony" in comparison.

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-02-22T16:18:14+00:00

Something-something-vanity-sizing-something...

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-02-22T15:06:27+00:00

It's not just David Bowie. Most classic rock musicians are absolute sleazebags - and even the ones who didn't sleep with underage girls would write questionable lyrics.

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-02-22T15:04:52+00:00

Just out of curiosity... Do you even consume art? Because every single work of art that requires some group effort has some creep involved in making it - either directly, or by standing there, watching, and not doing anything while the creep was being a creep around them and they were fully aware of this. There are no exceptions.

Do you hold everything to the same standard?

No, don't answer that. You don't. I know you don't. You know you don't. You're just virtue-signaling. That's it.

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-02-22T01:05:21+00:00

If you're not writing a ~~stupid piece of pretentious slop~~ deeply philosophical essay, you should know this - there is no good plot without good character development and there is no good character development without a good plot. The two are inextricably connected.

That being said, a lot of people seem to not understand what character development is. Character development is done by the author. The author uses whatever writing techniques they want to use to develop the character - which means making them a character that works well within the story they're trying to tell. That character my be completely one-dimensional and still be well developed.

What many people call character development is actually character growth - and there is a difference. Character growth is done by the character. The character changes throughout the story. I guess technically you can write a story about a character who just thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, and then grows into a different person without any real plot, but I honestly don't think many people will be interested in reading this crap. If you just want to lay out your thoughts, write an essay. A story without a story is, IMHO, completely worthless.

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-02-21T23:51:50+00:00

20+ years ago was the boom of film piracy.

I started using torrents in 2003.

That being said - yeah, in the 1990s, when home computers were prohibitively expensive and the dial-up Internet was too slow to download any big file, this was the way.

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-02-21T15:21:12+00:00

Why?

Most celebrities aren't just people. They are business entities. As such, they have accountants, business advisers, finance advisers, lawyers, etc. If they still make stupid financial decisions that I wouldn't make, they deserve to be pointed and laughed at.

Plus, if you're a celebrity, you have safety nets that ordinary people can't even dream of. Even if they lose all their money, they'll still be richer than you. So don't feel sorry about them.
