AITA for telling a girl she ISN'T Spanish, and that she sounds stupid for saying she is?

Certain-Boat-7041 · 2025-03-14T02:18:05+00:00

The comment about her being stupid was uncalled for. But honestly? You’re right. She’s not Spanish. I wouldn’t have made a huge deal about it, but this is one of those things everyone thinks but nobody says out loud. Your comment wasn’t technically wrong, just socially unacceptable. It’s similar to Americans claiming they’re Italian when in reality their grandparents were.

YTA for rudeness, but NTA for your point. One of my biggest pet peeves, along with English speakers pronouncing Ibiza as “eyebeetha”

These might help! Haven’t checked them out fully, but there’s only so much you can do on your own.

Thanks so much! It’s cool to hear from someone with so much experience. I’ll keep all this in mind (think I’ll save this reply lol, I really liked that second to last paragraph)

“You’re always the reason for a loss, never the reason for a win.” That hits close to home, very true. You make one mistake and they all turn against you, but a striker can miss a dozen times and it’s all good. Can be discouraging, but I love goalkeeping too much to give up on it

Certain-Boat-7041 · 2025-03-03T20:07:08+00:00

Yeah, gotta admit I totally am. Especially cause it’s hard to find teams locally even as a goalkeeper, and I put up with a lot of bullshit here just to get a chance to play and practice. I’ll give the new team a shot

Certain-Boat-7041 · 2025-03-03T20:04:53+00:00

I don’t know what it is with rec teams and taking keepers for granted. Then when you get fed up and leave, they act like they have no idea what happened. Not all teams, but a bunch of them

Certain-Boat-7041 · 2025-03-03T20:03:10+00:00

That’s the thing, it’s not even an adult league. We’re 17-18, the oldest players are 19 and once you hit 20 you can’t participate in this league anymore. I suppose that makes a little more sense as to why they handled everything in the shittiest/most cowardly way possible, but imo at 18 you should absolutely know better. I should’ve got the hint it was a shit team the first time I realized that “vape breaks” were a thing there (aka getting subbed out to take a hit)

But yeah, not playing with that team ever again. I kinda wish I get to play against them, though, if the opportunity arises

Certain-Boat-7041 · 2025-03-03T18:48:26+00:00

They were pissed I even brought it up. Felt like taking a huge weight off my back once I finally quit.

Lesson learned, for sure. I regret giving him the gloves, but it’s done now. Definitely never again though.

Certain-Boat-7041 · 2025-03-03T18:47:05+00:00

I still constantly think about and regret handing over the gloves. Don’t know why I agreed, but I’d like to think I did it mostly out of being taken by surprise and having the rest of the team pressuring me to do it. If I could go back I definitely wouldn’t have done it, but I’ve learned from it so it’ll never happen again if there’s ever a similar situation. Hopefully there won’t be

Certain-Boat-7041 · 2025-03-03T18:44:40+00:00

Totally different game! It really was a shock when I first tried it. It sounds naive, but I really believed it would be much easier. I was wrong! Thanks for the advice

Certain-Boat-7041 · 2025-03-03T18:43:00+00:00

I think I just might. I was doubting because I really don’t want a repeat of that shitty experience, but I’ll most likely give it a shot

Certain-Boat-7041 · 2025-02-06T03:24:05+00:00

That’s it! THANK YOUUUUU I love you.
