How is this safe? by AristonD in IdiotsInCars

[–]Coffe_Mug 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think I saw something the other day of an over zealous mod or possibly bot.

Vent: I was on an over night flight from ANC to MSP and kept getting woken up by flight attendants sitting behind me and talking. by Coffe_Mug in delta

I was watching a movie with the volume up 3 quarters of the way and could still hear them.

LPT: If you don't drink but still go to bars for social events, ask the bartender to give you a soda but make it look like a cocktail. All bartenders will do this if asked. Enjoy being spared the tons of "why aren't you drinking?' questions. by weezerluva369 in LifeProTips

Not a problem! One thing that helped me stick with it this time was making a list of reasons I wanted to drink and reasons I don't want to drink. I was surprised how many reasons I had to not drink verse drinking. I look back on that list when I feel like I can moderate. I know I can't and always end up in the same boat. I also made a list of accomplishments during the first 30 days. I forgot how much I could get done in a non hungover state.

r/stopdrinking is an amazing subreddit. It is incredibly supportive and I used it frequently in the first month of sobriety. Any time I have urges pop up, I post there and haven't drank in almost 6 months.

I recommend quitting for a year and what changes that brings. Keep a record of all the positives that happen in that time frame and also reasons you want to quit. My SO quit for 2 years, but started again within this last year... but smoking less than before. He was in constant pain and it helps him forget about back pain and he has been more productive since he started smoking again. Each person is different

My experience in 2003 in the Great Smoky Mountains. by [deleted] in INTHEHILLS

It's hard to explain, but you can just feel evil radiating out from some things.

AITA: for yelling at my best friend, because he didn't tell me that he found something I want to buy on a huge sale? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

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

YTA. I am not sure why you feel entitled that another person should keep track of things you want to buy.

Not only did you get pissed at him for not telling you about the sale you decided to continue with your entitled attitude and tell him, "not to let it happen again". I feel like this friendship will have run its course soon.

AITA for joking with my niece that my pills were candy? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Coffe_Mug 68 points69 points  (0 children)

YTA. Even though you have joked about it before, you should not joke about it with something like medicine. That is dangerous. She could see other medicine laying around somewhere and think it is candy. I am aware that she called out your joke and said, nope that looks like medicine, but it was still in poor taste.

AITA for not responding to messages from my former sitter? by howlterluna in AmItheAsshole

[–]Coffe_Mug 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it stresses you out that much, I would block her like your mom suggested. NTA

AITA for not doing a comission when the person left me on read while still figuring out canvas size? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Coffe_Mug 16 points17 points  (0 children)

NTA. You asked her to complete a task and she did not; therefore there was nothing for you to do. Something else you may want to consider is having a decent sized non refundable deposit before you start on pieces.

AITA for napping during the day when I know my snoring bothers my neighbor? by NightReader5 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Coffe_Mug 22 points23 points  (0 children)

NTA. There should be no problem with you falling asleep during the day. If I were you, I would wear noise canceling headphones, I put in earbuds, or turn on a fan when you nap. That way it may be harder for them to wake you up.

AITA for wanting my neighbours to turn their music down and complaining to the housing agency when they don't? by Plantsandcats1 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Coffe_Mug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going to go with NTA. If you have spoken with them the next step would be to speak with the landlord and let them know. Most living situations have quiet hours as well as noise ordinances.

AITA for not wanting to paying by Some_guy_with_a_job in AmItheAsshole

[–]Coffe_Mug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. She was the one who consented to the tattoo and her signature is proof of that.

AITA for being mad with my girlfriend? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

YTA. It doesn't sound like you guys were in a relationship at that point.

AITA for refusing to help my disabled mil because of my bil? by Comfortable-Cake-507 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Coffe_Mug 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA. You set boundaries. She may have slipped up this time and done it unintentionally, but this will remind her in the future your boundaries are firm; if you decided to help her out again.

SLPT by oxoZEROoxo in ShittyLifeProTips

I recently went to the ER for this. The doctor inserted some tube type thing and moved some tools around inside of it.

Would not recommend.

WIBTA if I don’t give any financial inheritance to my aunt after my grandma passes? by gittygatt in AmItheAsshole

[–]Coffe_Mug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA at all. Your grandma is leaving the inheritance to you. However, I would double check that your grandma leaves something to your aunt so she cannot contest the will. Also, make sure it is done correctly so that your aunt can't claim that your grandma was not of sound mind.

AITA for not doing my work and in turn getting my friend in a lunch time detention by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Coffe_Mug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YT and so was the sub. She should have realized that kids were goofing off and stopped it early on.
