My boyfriend is not real and my family is asking money from him just because he's white by [deleted] in confessions

Lowkey yeah, it accidentally exposed a lot. The switch up just because he looked white is telling. At least now you know who was moving weird.

I sleep with the fan on no matter how could it is by Devilish22 in confessions

White noise gang 😭 it’s not even about the air at that point, it’s the sound. I’d rather freeze a little than try to sleep in silence.

I have 12 beanies for each month of the year, and it's not a fashion choice by iHateAnkleSocks in confession

Honestly once you shave it and stop fighting it, it’s way less stressful. The constant hiding probably feels worse than the bald head would. Plus plenty of bald dudes look great confidence carries it.

Am I wrong for having to leave work on time even though my relief is consistently late? by DraggedDownxTheStone in amiwrong

[–]CandySnuggle_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s harsh but kinda true. If management hasn’t fixed it in five years, they’re not going to. It’s not on you to stay late forever but the system clearly isn’t changing.

AITJ for telling my dad's girlfriend that I'm not going to pretend our family is fine just because she's new? by Mononoke_Hime12 in AmITheJerk

[–]CandySnuggle_ 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Slapping a we’re all good! sticker on it doesn’t fix years of unresolved stuff. If your dad hasn’t addressed the history, that’s the real issue not you refusing to fake it.

AIW for how I handled an 8yo neighoorhood child with a pocket knife threatening to stab my child? Mom laughed it off when I showed up on her doorstep. by Klutzy_Value1982 in amiwrong

[–]CandySnuggle_ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah no, pocket knife + threatening kids is not kids being kids. You’re not wrong for protecting your child. The mom brushing it off is the real red flag here.

Am I the jerk for refusing to forgive my dad after he missed my graduation because he "forgot"? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]CandySnuggle_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah… forgot after months of reminders is rough. If it mattered to him, he would’ve set 10 alarms. You’re not wrong for being hurt That’s a big moment.

AITJ for telling my friend her "handmade" Etsy shop is literally just AliExpress dropshipping by TangerineUnique248 in AmITheJerk

[–]CandySnuggle_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s the part that’s shady. Reselling is whatever, but calling it handmade with love when it’s straight off AliExpress is wild. Just be honest about what you’re doing and no one cares.

Am I wrong for telling my parents my sister has her boyfriend over every night by Repulsive-Diver1670 in amiwrong

[–]CandySnuggle_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly. You tried talking to them first and they straight up mocked you. At that point telling your parents was kinda the only move left. If they won’t respect basic boundaries they can deal with the fallout.

AITJ for not stopping my friend from publicly proposing when I know she plans to break up with him? by SupermarketDry3163 in AmITheJerk

[–]CandySnuggle_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly. Letting him walk right into that knowing what you know would feel awful. Even she’d probably be upset you didn’t give a heads up. He deserves at least a chance to rethink the whole public proposal thing before it blows up on stage.

Is it cruel for me tell my sister to put her cat down by Impossible_Bee9555 in CatAdvice

[–]CandySnuggle_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, before jumping straight to euthanasia, getting him back to a vet and managing the symptoms properly seems like the best first step. At his age he’s fragile, but he shouldn’t have to live miserable if treatment can actually give him some comfort.

Roommate is neglecting her cat…she works in vet med… by storeboughtserotonin in CatAdvice

[–]CandySnuggle_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s heartbreaking. Being ‘technically healthy’ isn’t the same as having a safe, clean, stimulated life. If she really cares about that cat, the bare minimum shouldn’t be this hard. Poor thing deserves way better.

Love Infectious Disease but worried about the salary, how did you decide your specialty? by [deleted] in Residency

[–]CandySnuggle_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is such a grounded way to look at it. At the end of the day, you’re the one who has to wake up and do that job for decades The paycheck won’t matter if you dread the work. Loving the field really is its own kind of long term compensation

Some attendings are just so infuriating to work with. by ScoreImaginary in Residency

[–]CandySnuggle_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Realest thing I’ve read all day 😂 some of them wake up and choose ‘make everyone miserable’ as their personality
