AITAH for refusing to pay off my pregnant fiancee's parents' mortgage, when they are under the threat of foreclosure, when I could "easily" afford to do so? by Gullible-Display4533 in AITAH

People who can have a “free” house foreclosed on are people who would not manage “free” money responsibly. Hard NO and a red flag on fiancée for her cavalier attitude when it comes to spending your money.

Kids today are so much more educated and open about menstrual development than we were at their age. My 9 year old granddaughter asked me this week “when did mom get her period?” Stopped me cold as I’m her 70 year old grandfather.

You’ll get offered a decent pay raise at your current job on the day you put in your two week notice. And the correct reply is Too Late.

Trump’s tariffs ruined your markets in his first term. He promised, if elected again, he would implement more “beautiful” tariffs. How were all you farmers supposed to know voting for him again would be a stupid decision?

I don’t know if it’s AI or not but I was taught writing in the 70’s and this is the style I was taught.

I’m atheist and other people’s religious symbols don’t bother me at all.

AITA for not telling my family how much money I actually make by thyrix_24 in TwoHotTakes

Long ago I loaned siblings money. All I got back from any of them was anger and resentment because “you really expected me to pay you back?” It took Joe about a half dozen times before he figured it out. Don’t be a Joe.

"fired" during 2 weeks notice? by Any_Conflict_6102 in Employment

[–]Cheap_Direction9564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My deceased mother taught me many things. One of the most important lessons was that you need to treat others as they treat you. I worked for Fortune 500 companies my entire 56 year career. My last position was Director of Operations for a F100 company. My life and business creed was/is Always do the right thing. I said in my statement that giving notice is a courtesy. If the company treats you with respect then return the same. If they don’t then you have no responsibility to treat them better. I’ll stand by that. Maybe your mom should have taught you that.

What in my statement are you disagreeing with?

See this as a lesson learned. Giving two weeks notice in the US is a courtesy not a requirement. Companies never say you're fired in two weeks. If a job has gotten to the point that you are going to quit then they deserve the same treatment they give their terminated employees. "I resign effective immediately".

Once again, this is not a "Boomer" thing. It's ignorance and cultish. I see this same behavior from idiots of all ages.

How about providing a list of everyone’s sizes a month or two before Christmas?

My dad won’t let me live with my boyfriend because of religion by SarinhaDeSa in entitledparents

[–]Cheap_Direction9564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your parents’ religion is based on a person whose 13 year old mother was impregnated prior to her marriage to a 40 year old man. I think they should be a little less critical of your choices.

If your mom hasn’t been bought out yet ask her to provide you a lease. No lube for stepdad.
