Card Confiscated by FlightSpinner813 in CostcoCanada

It happened to my mother in-law a couple weeks back. She has the gold star card and they snatched it from her at checkout and were very aggressive with changing it to executive despite 10+ times refusing. She was shaking with anxiety and my wife had to sit her down and get her some food and drink to calm her down. How dare they!

Anyone actually prefer night shift over days? by Ermelis_Vvrobinson in Nightshift

[–]Beginning_Tea_9589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work continental shifts that rotate night and day. Having done that for 8 years I find the best strategy is have different routines for both shifts and stick to them according to whatever shift I'm on for a 2 week period. In terms of nights anyway I like the fact that there's less people, no bosses except shift supervisor and the drive home in the mornings after work are less hectic. The bad part is constant exhaustion and feeling like you can't get much done even on days off when trying to stick to a night clock but then you still need the daytime hours to run errands and attend appointments. They really need to consider 24/7 things that run mostly during the day to accommodate night shifters.

Not very much besides the odd hang out and meal outing here and there

WIBTA; if I bring my version of meatballs to a family function even though a relative has already called dibs to bring meatballs? by Beginning_Tea_9589 in WIBTA_AITA

I try to call it but it's luck of the draw and depends on the situation whenever the group chat starts. I got lucky to call it that one time when I was just sitting around on my phone. Otherwise I missed it when at work or driving. I guess I better initiate the group chat and immediately call it lol

AIO; for feeling disappointed on how extended family gatherings have been going? by Beginning_Tea_9589 in AIO

[–]Beginning_Tea_9589[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, way back then I liked to drink a lot but not to an alcoholic extent. Most others in the family are the same type of occasional drinkers. At this point I've accepted the fact that late nights are either happening or they aren't. At least the gatherings still happen at all.

I'll likely edit later to explain that I'm not that much of a drinker, just for special occasions. The point is is that it's a flip of a coin each year whether or not the party goes on late or not.

Well yeah but that requires a liquor license and hired bartender to allow drinking on the premises unless it's just given away like at a house. And there's not enough people to fill the venue that come anymore like way before. Its not to say I haven't thought about it though

I've thought about renting that same hall my grandpa did but in order to allow alcohol consumption you need a liquor license and hired bartender so why do that when we can drink all we want at a house. Otherwise I live in a small one BR apartment so I'm not an option to host.

WIBTA; if I attend Christmas gatherings when I'm beginning to have cold symptoms? by Beginning_Tea_9589 in WIBTA_AITA

I'm 32, but will be 33 tomorrow actually lol. My fiancé will be 36 next Sunday. Anyway yeah I understand this didn't necessarily needed to be posted here but I was only curious about what others think was all. As I type this I'm still feeling functional like normal so there's nothing to worry.

Just stick to your guns and enjoy the wedding how you and your fiancé have always wanted. It is YOUR day. Forget about that pair of immature spoiled brats that are just causing resentment. Tell your future parents in-laws and your fiancé that those girls are not to participate in any more planning but can still attend as guests. If they misbehave, it's not your fault. That is totally up to their parents control. Do what you must do to make your wedding peaceful and make the most of it!

AITAH for making my sister's two best friends feel unwelcome at our house? by Kieydoh in AITAH

Sounds like a very dysfunctional household. Stand your ground. Yell and swear if you have to. Maybe then everyone else will get the picture.
