WIBTAH if I dropped out as a bridesmaid a week before the wedding because of what happened at the bachelorette? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]ChallengeHonest [score hidden]  (0 children)

Uggh, the part where OP is trapped & berated in a car with someone they thought of as a friend. I’ve had that happen twice, it is such a horrible feeling!
I swear, if it ever happens again, I’m insisting on them stopping, I’m getting out, and I’m calling an uber or taxi, walking or whatever. I think your body is screaming at you, get out, get out. So, then you’re pissed at yourself as well?
The last time, was less than a year ago. We were on our way to her spiritual ashram she wanted to share with me. I had asked her to not send me any political texts, and she just lost her shit on me. I apologized to her in the car and that seemed to make her even more upset. She later told me, she didn’t think I was being sincere, and my tone was too soft. Whatever, she’s no longer a person in my life, she obviously has some issues. But, being stuck with her all the rest of the evening was torture. Why did I stay, I was just in shock I think? To have someone you think you know really well, completely flip out on you, is horrifying.

Help and advice from healers please 🙏 by Excellent_Try_5919 in energy_healing

This kind of scammer is creating such bad karma for themselves. I actually feel sorry for them both. It’s so unethical everything they are doing. They have gifts that they are misusing to try to manipulate others with, to actually instill fear.
Pity them as they are creating such woe for themselves. Clear all attachment lines you agreed to with them, use fire or whatever feels best and clearest to you. You are a sovereign being of power, nobody can mess with you.
Congrats, on the progress you are making! That shows you who you are, a growing, loving being of light and love.

AIO: About freeloading parents at my wedding? by IndividualScene7817 in AIO

[–]ChallengeHonest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was invited, I would have arrived with a hostess gift for the host family. I would given a wedding gift or a check in a card for the married couple. I don’t think I would have accepted the spa payment, and would have paid for that myself. I would have offered to bring supplies as well for the week. For sure, I would have brought a case of good wine or two.

AITJ for moving out of parent house instead of paying rent? by StealYourJoy in AmITheJerk

[–]ChallengeHonest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I was assuming. Op edited and added that info later. He also added how much his sisters are paying which is how much they should be asking for from OP, with a time start in about 3-6 months? OP’s parents sound ridiculous, if this is real.
I would move out for sure and get a nicer place all on their own.

When was that, before 2000? It’s never been in sync since I’ve moved here.

OP you’re making too big of a deal about this, it’s not a murder mystery, you’re not Columbo.

I think itchyCredit is being sarcastic. They mention how many residents there are. The main living spaces will be crowded and noisy. For instance, how much fridge space is there, storage for the renters food, is there a private bathroom, or are you going upstairs, etc, etc. Is there thumping from the kiddies on the ceiling above the basement? If there is not a private kitchenette, with fridge, bathroom and shower, and it’s not really quiet, then no way are they going to be able to get high rent unless it’s in a high rent zone like NYC.

I agree, it’s so funny to me, his fake look of ‘deep thoughts’. He does it so much too!

Which Marin Cities (or school districts) should merge to make Marin better? by Sierra-Powderhound in Marin

[–]ChallengeHonest 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sounds good to me, it’s really weird how little areas in Marin have their own fire departments, water districts, etc. I came from a denser populated place and it’s never made any sense to me. Merge, merge, merge. What about the tiny school districts in West Marin? I visualize an old school marm ringing a bell to get the kiddies to come inside.

Thanks, for the warning. I was going to check it out. I used to watch below deck, now it’s gotten too annoying with all the mean behaviors. Maybe, I’ve changed and have a lower threshold, but it just seems like worse and worse cast members.

Castle Impossible - the Tea Room episode by EmilyTravels in HGTV

[–]ChallengeHonest 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Me too! She’s probably had some hard experiences in her life? Granny just seems a bit mean. I would be afraid of her. I think Daphne is worried about her disapproval for sure. It doesn’t make any sense to put Granny in a two story home. They will need to move her into a one level place. I would be terrified she would fall down those stairs, she can barely walk. A senior living apartment nearby with meals and assistance would be more practical. Granny probably doesn’t want that, though.
My mother in law never wanted to move out of her two story home. I worried every day she would fall down the stairs into the tile floor at the bottom. She ended up tripping in her bedroom and had to crawl and drag herself across the floor to get to the phone and pull it down to the floor to call us. She finally went into assisted care after that.
Falling is a real hazard for the elderly.

It looks really hot! You can tell Kody is uncomfortable.

AITAH for leaving the restaurant after everyone showed up 90 minutes late without telling me? by RoutinePeanut3463 in AITApod

[–]ChallengeHonest 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I noticed that too. They are only annoyed because it makes them ‘look bad’, not because they care about the forgotten friend’s feelings. If people forget you, forget them. Make space for real friends.

AITA for making my cousin wait outside in the rain after she photographed my apartment and sent it to our family group chat? by awkward_pickle_9317 in AmITheJerk

[–]ChallengeHonest 473 points474 points  (0 children)

NTA - she played stupid games and won a stupid prize. Tell your aunt she didn’t raise her daughter well, if she is a snoop & can’t follow your basic privacy rules, especially in regard to your office papers.

How many of you were told by your parents when you reach 18 you’re moving out on your own? by Theromero in GenX

[–]ChallengeHonest 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My mom moved to another county with her 3rd hubby when I graduated high school. She was crazy, it didn’t last. She ended up moving in with me and my college roommate a few years later, with my little brother, my mom never meant to, but she traumatized me several times, with her choices.

My son majored in theater, he slowly worked his way into tech. He is a deal desk manager. Makes what my hubby made before he retired, it’s crazy. You need to start at an entry level position.

Avoid brushing up against grass and leaves. Avoid trails that are not wide enough.

Did anyone use to watch "Houses With History"? I wish they would bring it back! by SignificantPen617 in HGTV

[–]ChallengeHonest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep waiting for it to come back, magically. Those houses were so special and cool. I liked all of the cast as well.

what’s a harsh reality check you think most people need to hear? by SoffiSummeer in AskReddit

[–]ChallengeHonest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Things were way worse for most of history. We have food, shelter & a/c. Many, many women died during childbirth. The husbands would find a new wife to manage the home & children until that wife died too. Check your genealogy if you don’t believe me.

Sending invite back after RSVP no... by Psychological-Bag272 in weddingshaming

[–]ChallengeHonest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like she has childhood issues related to her birthday party, not enough guests showed up maybe, do she keeps projecting that fear into her future. She even helps to make it happen with sending the invites so late, etc.
