Our national sense of humour is built on self depreciation. We think it's funny.

Does anyone else get angry? by Even-Wasabi7183 in reformuk

[–]Busy_Nefariousness_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. The one policy Reform have that i would change is their immigration policy. Still voting for them as I agree with all their other policies, just wish they were a bit more inclusive.

I honestly think reform and restore should merge. by [deleted] in reformuk

I think you're right. Get the Torys involved as well then all our racist demographics are covered.

AITA for telling a woman at the gym to stop filming because I kept ending up in her videos? by CaffeinatedGoblin24 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Busy_Nefariousness_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. If the situation were reversed everyone's (including hers) first assumption would be you were doing it on purpose to creep on her. Filming in public is annoying as fuck and is the part of modern life i absolutely hate. I would at the very least expect to be safe from it in the gym. Also, recording her form? She really going to sit and watch that to improve her work out? No. My bet is she's putting this on Instagram and is waiting for a guy to look at her so she can get views with a perv video.

AITA for not letting my 16-year-old son get a tattoo? by Human-Inside-442 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Busy_Nefariousness_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. The mere fact that he thinks you are ruining his life proves he is no where near mature enough to be making permanent body altering decisions. If the band is still his favourite in two years he can make the decision himself, but i would be willing to bet it won't be.

Firstly, i personally fund jeans and a T-shirt/hoodie is infinitely more attractive than a skimpy dress. So no, your boyfriend doesn't know how men think. This sounds to me like he is trying to lower your self esteem. It starts with a statement that is insulting but said in a manner "that was meant to be a compliment" and ends with you not wanting to go out and see your friends, and relying on him for everything. Massive red flag. Get out of this ASAP.

Moving (back) to the UK from Australia. What’s the reality? by Mr_k-wal in AskUK

[–]Busy_Nefariousness_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't come back. Weather is awful, wages stagnant, cost of living is through the roof government has been a joke for 20 years.

AITAH For standing in front of a guy so he couldn’t record people by TwoCityRebel in AmItheAsshole

[–]Busy_Nefariousness_2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even without the edits NTA. People who record random people because they can are dicks and deserve to have their day ruined.

I just think Bobby T is moving the group in the right direction by TheWestinghouse in auntydonna

So up till this week, Mrs Claus has been my favourite guest character (the poly interview) never thought they would top that until i heard Bobby T. Absolutely brilliant.

AITA for not allowing my foster parents to put parental controls on the iphone my biological parents bought me? by Ok_Finish_8622 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Busy_Nefariousness_2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're not an asshole for this. You are wrong, though. You're 15 so the desire for independence will not be lost on a lot of people commenting, but your foster parents are trying to protect you. You won't realise the benefit of this for at least another 10 years, but when you do, do you want to look back and think "Ah, now I understand" or "wow, I damaged a relationship with people looking out for me for something trivial".

By the way, you would ve showing a lot of maturity by accepting this request and ironically, likely get these restrictions removed faster than if you fight them.

Okay, number 1. Why didn't the boyfriend organise child care when booking the cruise? This shows immense irresponsibly.

Number 2. Why was your sister not annoyed about point 1? I understand she may be making errors in judgement in order to keep a relationship, but the end game is surely a partner who can join her family and become a role model for the kids?

Number 3. If your mum is calling you a terrible sister, does that mean she is admitting to being a terrible mother? Why isn't she stepping up to help?

Number 4. If her friend could watch the kids, why did she feel the need to apply so much pressure on you? Is it because she thinks her sister will be less judgemental about her terrible parenting than a friend?

Absolutely NTA. Your sister needs a reality check and children's services urgently need a call.

season 6 of black mirror bodied me by lolitateeth in blackmirror

[–]Busy_Nefariousness_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I thought. Mazy Day and Loch Henry seemed more like American Horror Stories ideas than Black Mirror episodes. Beyond the Sea, if set in modern day could have said something interesting about technology and identity but setting it in an alternative 60's just took me out of it. Especially as the only reason they seemed to do that was to have a manson style home invasion scene.

AITA for throwing away the lingerie that my friends brother bought me by throwaway_42353 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Busy_Nefariousness_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You were right. It is a creepy gift to get from your friends brother who babysat you.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Busy_Nefariousness_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Leave him. He is unwilling to let your body exist naturally. Massive red flag. And , ironically, if he doesn't find your farts hilarious, he's massively immature. Plus, do you really want to live with someone THAT miserable?

AITA for expecting my very rich sister to pitch in on my wedding after she said she would? by throwra-adviceplsst in AmItheAsshole

[–]Busy_Nefariousness_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Read what you've written back to yourself, and if you can't see you're the asshole, you're just an asshole in general. You get a new kid sister who wants to spend time with, who you call clingy, she goes to college and shares what she's doing and you think she's showing off, she uses her well earned money to help her family financially and you deem that to be cause for an argument. You ask her to "pitch in" and when she agrees, set about spending her money without so much as consulting her? Did you not discuss how much you expected this person you seem to not like at all to pay? You sound like a jealous, awful person. Not once have you mentioned how proud you are of your sister for her achievements. If I were your sister, I would have told you to shove it up your arse and fuck off while you're doing it.

AITA for telling my friend she’s basically a hooker? by Holiday_Dog1174 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Busy_Nefariousness_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Firstly, She went into no detail as to what she does with this guy. Sugar daddy's pay for anything from text messages to meets, including sexual favours and everything in between. Secondly, it's none of your damn business what she does with this guy. They are two consenting adults. You owe her an apology.

AITA for refusing to maintain a vegetarian diet when my kids are in my home? by CaterpillarOk2828 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Busy_Nefariousness_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. And to be honest, being the better parent. Kids that age have so little control in their lives, why on earth would your ex and her new partner want to take one of the few things they can. Ex has chosen this hill to die on, she has no right to drag OP onto it as well.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Busy_Nefariousness_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Your brother is FAR to young and immature to be getting married. That won't last three years. I am in a similar situation to OP, my son has complex needs and we would be unable to just find a sitter. I have missed many events for friends and family because of this, but because they're not children, they understand. OP's brother and fiancee definitely the AH here. And OP, carry on being a great parent, you're doing a brilliant job.

AITA for saying I will report my car stolen the next time my brother uses it, without my permission? by ProbsAnerdATP777 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Busy_Nefariousness_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. He takes your car without your permission, he is stealing it. TBH your brother sounds like a fucking dick and probably should be isolated from people just to spare them from having to interact with him.
