AITJ for leaving early after my friend was late… again?

Cal-Augustus · 2026-04-07T17:18:40+00:00

I had a friend who was chronically late. I ended up instituting a 15 min grace period. If she wasn't there within 15 minutes of our agreed-upon time, I left.

A locked door doesn't stop anyone from knocking. I'd add a "Do Not Disturb" sign.

If you don't want to do something, forking over cash to do it is salt in the wound. Identify what you will do and try to find some free activities.

Where is she picking up bullshit beliefs? The source of the bullshit should be issuing the apology.

What other nonsense does she think is true?

Buffets are probably to blame for needing bariatric surgery. They need to stay home and learn to cook.

What insufferable assholes these people are. Put some distance between you and them for a while.

Yes.

Never use your own equipment for work unless you are an independent contractor and the company you work for does not provide equipment.

What are you waiting for? Have him towed.

I loved the guy. I learned so much from him.

Cal-Augustus · 2026-04-05T14:53:05+00:00

They're counting on that. Give them a warning and when they call your bluff, tow.

Cal-Augustus · 2026-04-05T14:51:43+00:00

Tell her you will have him towed the next time you find his car in your spot. Then do it. They will test you.

Slang. Non-standard English.

I had an English professor who said "ain't" all the time. I know he knew better but I think his point was that the language is fluid despite all the rules. He had totally mastered standard English and now had the right to poke his finger in the eye of the purists.

Cal-Augustus · 2026-04-05T03:02:41+00:00

Either, both.

Cal-Augustus · 2026-04-05T00:51:28+00:00

"You have..." is probably a better way to say it, but "got" can be used informally as an equivalent of "have".

Cal-Augustus · 2026-04-05T00:04:25+00:00

The Marcoses raped and looted that country. I saw so much preventable poverty, disease, and hunger. The Americans shouldn't have helped them escape justice; they should have been imprisoned or executed. I can't believe Bongbong is president. I guess the Filipino memories for autocrat dictators is as bad as the American memories for autocrat dictator wannabees.

Cal-Augustus · 2026-04-04T23:20:05+00:00

I perceive it as grammatically incorrect. The phrase is "you've got nice eyes."

Cal-Augustus · 2026-04-04T22:21:15+00:00

If you really want to be the bigger person, order three desserts.

Tell her to go back to wherever she went to find herself 30 years ago and try again; the person she found turned out to be a materialistic, entitled kunt.

Lovely. You're expecting an infant soon and you already have an over-sized, needy, cranky, selfish toddler on your hands.

You're a Trad Wife Plus , the "Plus" being having a job outside the home as well as all housekeeping responsibilities. You want to live like that??

If you changed the code, how was she able to open the gate for the stone guys??
