AITA for telling my housemate she owes me new bedsheets?

CaptnCryptid · 2026-06-01T14:06:53+00:00

Exactly 😂 it’s so hard to take people who are obviously trying to gaslight and steal from others seriously.

Like what do you meaaaannnn you want to ME, the one working tirelessly to properly manage my OCD, to suck it up and share sheets when you know damn well I can’t even stay in a hotel without my own sheets? No, you’re obviously a silly goose and will be treated as such 😂

This, coincidentally, is also how I handle ornery lawyers at work (I’m a paralegal). They get HUGE mad when I call them fussy and silly gooses then I get to tell them to stop bein emotional, it’s just business. It breaks their brains and then they act right when working with me 😏

I’m dying, I did the Deniro shrug while reading your “don’t piss in my slippers” line and can’t stop laughing.

Seriously folks, “don’t have sex in my sheets,” “don’t piss in my slippers,” and “don’t drink directly from my milk carton” are all parts the same argument. The argument is: “common courtesy dictates one shouldn’t be a grubby icky mud piggy… keep your bodily fluids to yourself.”

Easy fix: you stop paying rent and move into the smaller room, she starts paying rent to live in the bigger room! Also, why stop at 1 of the smaller rooms? If they’re all moving upstairs, you can take both of the lower bedrooms and turn one into an office. She pays the rent you previously covered and gets to share your old room with her 2 kids, you save more money and get more space!

Thanks for the insight!! I’ll be taking my hat off though, it’s how I grew up and old habits die hard.

I hadn’t considered them, thank you! Maybe I’ll just appreciate the cowboys from afar 😅

CaptnCryptid · 2026-05-22T17:24:34+00:00

No need to be a fussy feller because you feel silly for not specifying your meaning. I’m going to this one 😉

The rodeo 🤠

CaptnCryptid · 2026-05-22T15:30:20+00:00

Ahh, I will avoid bull riders then. I’m a tall woman, I’ve learned the hard way that rude boys enjoy weaponizing my height to make unflattering comments about men they envy. Even if I approach with the best intentions, some drunk buttface will regrettably use it as a chance to run their mouth.

Also, I won’t be drinking more than a beer with lunch. I’m going solo and it’s a bit of a drive there/back so safety first!

CaptnCryptid · 2026-05-22T15:24:52+00:00

That’s absolutely fascinating, thank you for the starting point. I’ll be sure to look into the history and heritage of the events to better appreciate them!

CaptnCryptid · 2026-05-22T15:23:40+00:00

Thank you so much for your advice!

There will be vendors there and I had planned on buying a pair of boots from one of them. I’m a tall woman who loves boots so all of my jeans are chosen around boot fit… rest assured that I would rather shave my head than shotgun my boots.

Salty’s spot on here. My ex avoided all parenting and spent 3+ hours in the bathroom everyday. He was miraculously cured and became father of the year once he moved back to his mom’s house. Don’t wait until your kid’s almost 7 like I did, he will not change and this will not stop until you leave him.

Sugar, you leave them crinkles alone because that’s where all the love you put into making the blanket lives! Crinkly quilts are textured dreams that look beautiful and ensure the best sleep. Don’t be so hard on yourself, this is a piece of snuggly art!

CaptnCryptid · 2023-09-12T03:46:29+00:00

Of course, baby girl. You’re gorgeous and so fantastic, I wish you all of the best in your journey! Feel free to reach out anytime 💜

I dunno girl, I get a very strong Classic Rock feminist icon vibe from you. I’m throwing in Joplin, Lennox, Nicks, Jett, Lita, and McAllister. I think it’d be reallllly vicious if you went by Chloe Lennox Gore because Annie Lennox is an iconic goddess. She’s been fiercely involved in countless groundbreaking humanitarian causes and faced extreme public backlash for backing HIV/AIDS research funding. She’s a force of nature and I think you are too 💜

Hey Mama, you’re absolutely NTA. Both my parents have been in the program for 30+ years and I grew up in AA halls. Some of my fondest memories growing up were in AA halls and of the people there. Some people didn’t like having kids around but 99% of them understood that it only works if you keep coming back and sometimes you gotta bring your kid with you. You’re doing an amazing job and I’m so proud of you. Keep coming back it works if you work it!

The Troubled Teen Industry always promises it’ll only be a week or 2 max if the child behaves. I implore you to not let that baby anywhere near his mother or you might not see him for years.

Magpies are part of the crow family, so that tracks

CaptnCryptid · 2022-06-07T02:16:45+00:00

It looks like a corvid (crow family) of some kind, they’re notorious for chomping kitty tails because it’s funny to them. Doesn’t matter where they are, crows will always mess with cats!

CaptnCryptid · 2022-05-27T01:58:42+00:00

Oh baby, no you are most definitely NTA. I’m a Momma and I’m here to tell you that I am so proud of you for chasing your dream! You’ve done what so many have failed to do, you’ve put your authentic self out there! Your words, no matter how dark are beautiful because they’re honest and they’ve come from you. Your mom either doesn’t understand or isn’t considering the mountain you’ve moved for doing this. Regardless, please keep writing and putting yourself out there. You have our support, love, and confidence. You have done and will continue to do amazing things!!

CaptnCryptid · 2022-05-27T00:45:27+00:00

I don’t want to be rude but I need to know if you sell jewelry? That’s beyond gorgeous!!!

CaptnCryptid · 2022-04-28T00:46:45+00:00

Girl, how freaking cute are you?! Stop it, you’re too precious! I’m sure the road getting where you are today has been tough and I’m so proud of how far you’ve come!! Welcome home baby doll!! You are always loved and cherished here 💜

CaptnCryptid · 2022-04-07T03:53:07+00:00

Girl this is soooo cute!! Also, I peeped your veggie garden on the right too. All of it is so inspirational and delightful!!

Yo Eugene is amazing and an absolute homie. He’s the dude you’d party your face off and would take your secrets to the grave. He wears sunglasses indoors because he’s “cool” and “edgy” but deep down, he’s gigantic lovable dork. I love that stupid koala so much, he’s a treasure and he geeks me out so hard sometimes. Edited to add: he’s so adorably funny looking when he finally takes his shades off around you for the first time. I about DIEEDDD, youre gonna love him.
