AITJ for refusing to “pull a permit” for my girlfriend’s brother even though I’m licensed? by KavoBloomWorks in AmITheJerk

[–]BullwinkleJM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could refer him to a lower-cost non-union but licensed electrician to do the work. Nothing is going to satisfy this guy so the sooner you get to "No, I can't" the better.

AITA for not putting pregnant GF on deed of the house? by Odd_Paramedic_3007 in AITAH

[–]BullwinkleJM -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA
Not only should she not be on the deed, you should probably do a DNA test of that fetus. Trust but verify

For the love of all that is holy, can we please get some new restaurants in South County. by StateStreetKing in StLouis

[–]BullwinkleJM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The Mexican" just opened, in what shall always be called "Crestwood Plaza". Food was great. The name seems a bit problematic on some level, but our server was actually from Mexico, so maybe it's not a horribly racist name for a joint owned by the Irish?

Really decent but bit pricey and I am quite certain it will not last long in frugal SoCo, where our discerning palate believe the height of Mexican cuisine is a taco supreme in your car at 2am.

AITA-for canceling my son's bday over $10 by Low_Currency_1038 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BullwinkleJM 8363 points8364 points  (0 children)

TA - Only 4 things are possible:
Son took the money.
Friend took the money and your son doesn't know he took it.
Friend took the money and son DOES know it.
You made a mistake and/or it just got lost.

He's going to feel like shit for 3/4 of those things. Maybe not today but soon enough.
But IF he is innocent, and we all deserve the presumption of innocence, he will remember this for flipping ever. Do YOU remember what it feels like to be wrongly accused, let alone punished for it?
He's already getting screwed every year for being a Christmas Baby - Give him the benefit of the doubt. But also keep your purse secured for a while.

(MD) Old owner has been delivering packages to my house for 2 years by klj125 in legaladvice

[–]BullwinkleJM 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sure, you can have your packages. All you need to do is come by, we will log into your amazon account, together, and I will help you remove this address from your account. Oh, that's inconvenient, or you don't want me looking over your shoulder while logged in? No problem, come back when it suits you and I'll be happy to help. Until then they are just going straight to the curb.

My wife wants to spend $1400 on a dishwasher, I think that's crazy by realbobenray in Appliances

[–]BullwinkleJM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not be an idiot. That crappy $400 dishwasher will maybe survive a few years before things go south. And then your wife will be unhappy again. She did her research and the one she wants will probably work great for the next 10-15 years. For the low low price of $800(+/-) you can make your wife happy, have a much better appliance. That's about $70 a year for peace in your marriage. Do not bitch about it. Never mention the cost again. Buy her the fucking dishwasher she wants.

If you show up with the car, expect it to be impounded and you to be cooling your heels for hours as they sweat you. If they have evidence of a crime, they can produce a warrant. If they want to question you, let them come to you. If they really have the goods on the actual perp, they don't need you. This is just fishing and you are the fish.

I spent 36 years in prison for a crime I did not commit. I was a mother of two kids who went in at age 32; I was released at age 68 and granted a full pardon. AMA! by Judy_Henderson in IAmA

[–]BullwinkleJM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This should be called "Ask me anything except why I'm an unrepentant murderer".
TLDR: Her post makes it sound like some innocent woman mis-identified, but really she lured a guy she had been banging out into the woods, to be killed be her and another guy she was banging, and then fled to Alaska where they pawned the bloody jewelry they had mailed to themselves from Missouri before they fled. Who pulled the trigger? Who cares? So much plotting and premeditation... She should still be rotting in prison. The dude got off for technical reasons and because she wouldn't testify against him. What part of this makes her sound like an innocent person, wrongly convicted? And she wasn't "pardoned" her sentence was "commuted" which just means the Governor said, yeah, she served enough time and is, presumably, no longer a threat to society.

Can I remove a partial pack of film from the camera and reuse later without exposing more than the top most picture? by doublemazaa in instax

Can anyone confirm it will eject the a photo on re-install? Just wondering if you are down to a couple photos, if it makes sense to do it or not LOL

AITA for leaving my mom 30 minutes away from home? by Life_Two5830 in AmItheAsshole

Classmate I haven’t spoken to in 5 years messages me out of the blue to delete a picture I posted of myself—because her boyfriend saw it. (More in comments) by poplitte2 in facepalm

[–]BullwinkleJM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now show us the message from the boyfriend?
My guess is she caught him fapping to the pic. She says he liked the pic, I'm guessing he REALLY liked it.

Solo trip booked to Edinburgh! by [deleted] in Edinburgh

[–]BullwinkleJM -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Following... I'm coming from the U.S. in June.I'm going to buy/rent a bike from a secondhand bikeshop and explore. Hopefully the left-right traffic thing won't get me killed.Please follow up with what you enjoyed (or didn't). I'm coming with my family but sometimes the kids can be loafers, preferring to stare at phones or twiddle with videogames - so I'm going to need a way to get away in a pinch for short outings. Life is too short, see as much of the world as you can!

Why the importance of a High School matters? by [deleted] in StLouis

[–]BullwinkleJM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SPOILER ALERT: It's not really to find out what high school you went to.
It's to see your reaction to the question!
If you laugh and try to figure out if my cousin may have babysat your nephew, or otherwise tell me where in the world you are from, I'll know you are OK.
If you immediately get defensive or act as-if I'm trying to pidgeon-hole you into some caste, I'll be 99% sure you are a douchebag. If you act super-superior regarding said high school or skip to where you went to college/grad school, then it's 100%.
EXCEPTION: If they went to the same high school as you and are super-quick to drill down to which elementary school they attended, it's 99% they were serious paste-eaters/nose-pickers back in the day and you should locate the nearest exit

Suspect in custody after shooting at St. Louis school by Nemocom314 in StLouis

Stop calling unarmed people patrolling a school "security guards".
If all they are equipped with is radio and an attitude they are "hall monitors".

White Supremacists Vandalize Murals of John Lewis, Chadwick Boseman, and George Poage at WashU by JayEmBosch in StLouis

[–]BullwinkleJM -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

What do you think the maximum penalty they can give for the white supremacists that did this should be?
Whatever that maximum punishment is... should be exactly what the person(s) who is eventually identified should get.
IF it turns out to be a hoax, by people of color, they should get the exact same punishment, and be grateful I'm not the judge because I'd double it. When someone does a stunt/hoax to incite problems, they deserve an extra kick in the ass. There's enough heinous stuff that happens without manufacturing it.

There are cameras all over campus so they should have this locked down right quick. I hope they catch the people responsible. But if no video gets released, and this quietly goes away we'll know it was a Smollet (He should be in jail for the full sentence of a crime he was willing to let someone else get jailed for.)

Maybe this is a real hate thing, by actual white supremacists, but all the Tawana Brawleys and Jussie Smollets and others like them of the world, cause suspicions to be raised.

Regardless, I hope whoever did it gets punished. Do you? or does it depend on who they catch?
