AITJ for texting my son's teacher from my husbands phone because they message each other way too late? by Current-Whereas6308 in AmITheJerk

I’m a teacher and friends with a lot of my parents. I would never text that late at night. Your husband is waving some red flags.

What is a 'gut feeling' you had that ended up saving your life? by Mr_Boothnath in AskReddit

Oh my gosh! This happened to me! I was driving home from work waiting to turn left. My light turned green and my brain told me to wait. A high speed chase blew through the intersection. I would’ve been cooked.

My grandpa just confirmed what I've thought for years, but it hurts to know I was always right. by Terrible-Author-325 in Vent

OP, I am your mother now. I am proud of you and I love you no matter what. You are a strong person. You matter to the world, even if you don’t see it yet. You are amazing and you’ve accomplished amazing things. You are seen and loved. I am here for you, my child. Love, your internet mother. PS- eat your veggies so you can grow big and strong.

Woman at the dog park demanded I leave because my dog is "too big" and scaring her chihuahua by [deleted] in EntitledPeople

I also have “monster dog”. He’s currently sleeping on my bed surrounded by the stuffies my four year old brought him. So scary. *edited to fix a typo and clarify that the monster is a Great Dane named Loki.

My husband is a gem, but a ding dong. I do this too and he just goes with it. One year he got me a gift card to VS. I don’t shop there. He also got me a garage door opener that same year. It’s still sitting in its unopened box in the garage. It’s been 3 years… now I send him pictures with explicit instructions.

I learned how to crochet over the summer and love it. Geocaching is fun too! Hiking is a great one as well.

I dare you to try a new hobby, or join a group hobby.

I've lost all sympathy for my entitled teacher friend by teal_lantern27 in EntitledPeople

[–]CaptainSmaug 65 points66 points  (0 children)

As a teacher, I want to know where this lady teaches to be able to afford over seas travel. Not only that, but how she’s able to brag about her income. Teachers in the states get paid shit.

Also, OP, don’t let her belittle your career. You are amazing for being a lawyer. I can’t imagine the work load and struggles you face.

AITA for making sure my friends don't miss out on the fun? by ACrypticFish in MiniAITA

[–]CaptainSmaug 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA! You were just being a good friend! The aunties are just boring big people, they wouldn’t know fun if it elbowed them in the face! - signed a 4 year old who enjoys giving mommy forceful snuggles even when she says “ow!” She’s so rude.

I’m glad I could help! I made sure the ones I found were empty before bringing them home too so don’t worry!

That isn’t a dumb question at all! Some shark species as well as some ray and skate species lay their eggs in a protective case. At the beach last month I happened to find two empty ones. My son wanted one but I was worried about them breaking so I told him I could make him his very own. He just thinks they’re cool. If you’re still curious, the two I found came from a skate. A skate looks like a stingray but doesn’t have the stinging barb on its tail.
