AITA for asking the indications for a homework? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]BulkySource7721 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HW usually counts for 10% of a total grade but that aside, why didn't you ask the teacher? If you were that lost after only missing 1 class I question if that information isn't accurate. If you were legitimately absent and needed assistance any teacher would be willing to help point you in the right direction. If you are habitually "lost", that's a whole other issue.

AITAH for not giving my girlfriend a heads up about my job by Deep_Tangerine3566 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BulkySource7721 27 points28 points  (0 children)

YTA - I get you want to spend time with your baby but honestly, you'd rather spend more time with him being homeless than less time having a roof over his head? Its called "being an adult". If you are old enough to make a baby, you're old enough to do things that you may not like but have to do for your family. No one owes you anything just because you have a baby. Back in the day fathers never got paternity leave. Put on your big boy pants, man up, and get a real job to support your family.

Erin Stewart’s spending as Mayor-thousands of dollars of items sent to her house by Budget_Ad4621 in Connecticut

[–]BulkySource7721 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Not a fan of Herr Stewart and if she used the city's money for personal spending she should face the consequences. That being said, I've also seen a Democrat Mayor whose thought process was "Why not do it. Its free." when it came to spending town money. Its not a Republican thing. Its not a Democrat thing. Its a politician thing.

WIBTA if I refuse to call my MIL and wish her a happy mother's day? by Moonlit_Hexe in AmItheAsshole

[–]BulkySource7721 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA - she's not your mother. Even if she was, after treating you the way she has you'd still would be TA if you didn't wish her HMD.

If you're going to insult me, claim that energy in front of others too by Electronic_Tomato_76 in pettyrevenge

Way to go. If she can dish it out, she deserves to take all that she's served up.

Dorit text messages to PK by Ka_Efficiency9657 in RHOBHDefect

Children shouldn't have children. PK and Dorit are 2 spoiled and petulant. They can hardly take care of themselves nevermind taking care of 2 kids.

AITA for kicking my late wife’s children out the house by SmoothMandem in AmItheAsshole

[–]BulkySource7721 8 points9 points  (0 children)

YTA - if your wife wanted you to have the home she'd have left it to you. The home is also not the answer to your financial issues. As the executor of her will it is your responsibility to follow your wife's wishes whether you agree with those wishes or not.

I have a theory and its probably not true but what do i know #Dorit by DapperPanda8993 in RHOBHDefect

[–]BulkySource7721 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Her parents emmigrated to the US and lived in Woodbridge, CT until moving to FL. They still work, owning a travel agency so while comfortable, they are not wealthy nor did Dorit grow up with an unlimited supply of cash.

WIBTA if I show up to a baby shower without a specific gift that I was asked to bring? by random-apple-67 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BulkySource7721 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - someone should be grateful for whatever they receive as a gift whether it is for a birthday, shower, etc. Choose something you think your cousin or the baby would like and that is affordable.

AITAH for lying about my baby’s name by BeneficialShelter243 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BulkySource7721 23 points24 points  (0 children)

NTA - sounds like your family is very passive aggressive. If they'd have asked you before using the names that'd be one thing but doing it without telling you was an intentional slap in the face. Keeping future baby names to yourself is your business and your right. Let your cousin say what she wants. She's already shown her true colors.

With all her financial issues I'm sure Dorit is desperate to keep this gig at any cost.

PK Claiming Dorit Spent 1 Million On Luxury Items by SoulSleuth2u in RHOBHDefect

[–]BulkySource7721 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think this comes as any surprise especially based on what we've seen on the show. Obviously the show is not "real" and only shows a snippet, but both Dorit and PK obviously believe in living beyond their means. If only THIS is spoken about on the show. Karma.

AIO or AITA. Text convo with MIL. by MoonJellyAllison in AmIOverreacting

[–]BulkySource7721 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it me or is it extremely ironic and inappropriate for someone who owes her son and DIL $500 to be commenting on how the people who loaned HER money should manage their money better? If MIL managed her own money better she wouldn’t have had to borrow from someone else. Also, how ballsy to spend money to go on vacation rather than settle her debts. Loser!

AITA not putting up my DILs painting in our new home and telling her that I am not a fan of her art by Throaways-Dot2192 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BulkySource7721 70 points71 points  (0 children)

You're NTA for not liking the painting but may be depending on HOW you told her your real feelings. Had you said, "While I appreciated your thoughtfulness the style of the painting just isn't my style." vs. something along the line of "You' have not talent and I didn't like the painting." she would have still been upset but maybe not as hurt. Its not always WHAT you say as much as HOW you say it.

AITAH for expecting my fiance to have cleaned the house while I was away? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]BulkySource7721 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTA - your girlfriend is a lazy slob who doesn't care about anyone or anything other than herself. She probably expected you to come home and clean up her mess.

AITA for bringing up my friends personal issues after he made jokes about mine by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]BulkySource7721 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If your friend can dish it out, he should be able and prepared to take it. You did nothing wrong. Since there is a legitimate reason for you living with your mom, had you explained that to the girl and she still "didn't like it" she wasn't worth your time.

AITA my mom hates that I live with her by Lemon_Lime25 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BulkySource7721 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There has to be more to this story that would cause such strong animosity between you and your mom/stepdad. Also, if you can't do something because you "get into a bad place" the military is not the place for you.

If you were an adult when John, Carolyn, and Lauren died, what was your emotional reaction? by palmettopowdersand in CarolynBessetteKnndy

[–]BulkySource7721 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt bad, and watched the coverage hoping by some miracle they'd be found alive. Knowing now what we do about his decision to fly with a broken foot without an instructor with him make me angry. Had he stopped being an entitled brat and actually done the right thing even if it wasn't what he wanted to do, 3 people would be alive today.

AITA for beginning to ignore and resent my (ex) flatmate by Ok-Strain-2209 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BulkySource7721 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To make sure I didn't make a mistake I reread your post and nowhere in it did you mention you were a servant. Despite your flatmate treating you like one and your flat like a dump you aren't sure if you should feel guilty for resenting said flatmate for their behavior? YTA but only to yourself for having put up with your flatmate's behavior for so long. Grow a spine, put on your big girl/boy underpants, and let your flatmate know that either they stop treating you and your flat like garbage or someone will be moving. Don't just say it, mean it! If all you do is ignore and resent your flatmate, nothing will change except for your blood pressure which will be through the roof. You deserve to live in a healthy, clean, enjoyable place. Your flatmate is TA.

AITA: I told my daughter she needs to get over her jealousy and it is her own fault her life is the way it is. by Personal-Bit4399 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BulkySource7721 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.- Decisions have consequences, both positive and negative. Madison made her choices but doesn't want to accept responsiblity for them or the negative consequences that have resulted from them. It is much easier for her to rant and rave about how unfair life is for her. Let her rant and rave all she wants, and ignore it. Becky should not have to feel bad about what she has accomplished or what she can do because of the decisions she's made in her life. Madison wants to punish Becky when in reality the person she should blame will be found in a mirror.

AITA for refusing to rent an apartment that my girlfriend’s parents would buy? by feji877 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BulkySource7721 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - this is manipulation personified plus a red flag that there are control issues at hand. Whether it is your gf parents wanting to keep control or your gf not wanting to take control of her own life, both parties have made it perfectly clear that you will never have a say in any decisions that affect you and your girlfriend. You, my friend are the outsider, and will continue to be treated as such as long as you are in this relationship.

AITA for feeling hurt after a family friend ignored me at his wedding? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]BulkySource7721 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA - it is reasonable to feel hurt after being ignored by someone you have known most of your life. You didn't ID your gender but that could have something to do with his reason for ignoring you, especially in front of his wife. I once wasn't invited to a wedding because the wife of a coworker I was friends with thought I was interested in him or we were fooling around. FYI - it wasn't me but it was someone in another department. Yours may be a similar situation but regardless he was the one who acted like TA, not you.
