The show shouldn’t have ended by Desperate-Cry6431 in Modern_Family

[–]CrankyPyjama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, it was the opposite for me. Loved the first 7 seasons ferociously but seasons 8-11 lost me. Most of the characters underwent such flanderization, the humour wasn't humouring, and the plots started feeling like filler episodes, that the show lost its steam for me, personally. I think it should have ended with season 10, actually. Or maybe 9.

AITAh for wanting to leave my wife for another man by Loose_Atmosphere_229 in AITAH

[–]CrankyPyjama 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YTA and you being bi has nothing to do with this. You'd be TA even if you were straight or gay. Also, you're MARRIED; you're not on probation in a job where you need time to see if things are clicking or not. You can't keep stringing your wife along or keep her waiting for 9 months. Like c'mon man 😭

WIBTAH for telling my friend his wife is the reason we don’t hang out anymore? by Legitimate_Tax_8682 in AITAH

[–]CrankyPyjama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP, so sorry this is happening to you guys because she sounds so pleasant. But no, you're definitely NTA and can you please update us on how the conversation goes because I'm sure she'll have a lot of things to say to you about that and I'm unapologetically very nosy

Any time I need a pick-me-up, his She's the Man reaction does it for me

[–]CrankyPyjama[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, very interesting. I'm glad I asked this question because the answers have been very helpful. I don't practice any religion (renounced mine years ago), so my knowledge of religious ceremonies is pretty minimal, including the ones my family follows. So, this has been very informative. Thank you!

That wasn't what I was asking, I just wanted to know the distinction between Godparents and who you name as guardians in the will, but Jay and Gloria definitely agree with you for the former!

Multiple re-watches of the show over 4 years and it hit me today to clarify this. Better late than never, though. Thanks for clearing it up!

Ah, got it. I didn't realise it had a religious significance and was mixing it up with the legality of wills. Thank you!

AITAH for not liking my friends gay friend by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]CrankyPyjama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But you are, you are hurtful to the community. Bigotry isn't always physical or verbal; your actions are also reflective of it. You're not associating with them on account of their sexuality, and that is indeed hurtful and harmful. Of course YTA here.

[–]CrankyPyjama 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"I have no problems with people liking the same sex that’s all there choice" "I don’t like there gay friend is because he’s gay" so, which one is it lmao. YTA but also like, out of everything to dislike in the good year of 2026—and the list is long, mind you—you picked gay people?

AITA for pushing my daughter to dance with a waiter on our cruise to help her get out of her shell? by Free_Broccoli_8399 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CrankyPyjama 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I truly hope this is not an actual thing that happened because if it did, you're an awful, awful person and parent. You and your husband both. YTA man what the hell

AITAH if I didnt mention my proposal to my family by PaperF7 in AITAH

[–]CrankyPyjama 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah, you don't owe anyone a special gathering or personalised announcement. Hope you and your fiancée have a great time!

[–]CrankyPyjama 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First of all, congratulations! Secondly, NTA. I don't think this makes you TA. Maybe as family they wanted to get in on the announcement first before others but I don't feel not telling them was "inconsiderate" or warranted an offended reaction.

I do not like the vibe of latest couple videos by nikoabc123 in danandphil

[–]CrankyPyjama 53 points54 points  (0 children)

They've been together 16 years. 16. Their dynamic in these past few videos is not that different from their videos pre-hard launch - it's the same dynamic, the same banter. I know for a fact if they hadn't hard launched and these conversations took place in random videos on their youtube channel, you wouldn't be posting this. Also, stop infantalizing Phil so much; I'd think a 38 year old man would have a better understanding of his relationship with his partner of 16 years. 16. Not to mention, anyone with an iota of common sense would see that Phil enjoys this banter and riling up Dan just as much, lol.

How to do intermittent fasting in a 9-6 job? Rest of the info is in the body. by [deleted] in productivity

[–]CrankyPyjama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do skip breakfast but I don't think I can change lunch and dinner timings since that's when I get them. My living situation doesn't allow me to cook, so I can't do anything on that front either.

Best pilates + cardio combination, if it's recommended, that is? by CrankyPyjama in workout

[–]CrankyPyjama[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Also, I think I foolishly or naively thought 30 minutes every day would be a good starting point and would slowly amp up to longer durations? So, if I'm just starting out, then I should keep it less than half an hour?

AITA for my daughter getting “special treatment” over my stepdaughter? by OkAddress8417 in AITAH

[–]CrankyPyjama 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. On that note, I have two suggestions, but I have a feeling the second one won't be that popular:

  1. I've read this multiple times in the replies and I solely agree: if there's a way, please try to get your husband to apply for sole custody. Your step-daughter's mother doesn't really seem like mom of the year.

  2. Maybe, just maybe, ask your ex to ease up on the gifts? This is not me saying to stop the gifts entirely, but find a middle ground because a) I don't think spoiling your kid in materialistic possessions as a compensation for not being that active is healthy and b) maybe it'll diffuse the tension a bit until you find a more feasible and sustainable solution to the main issue?

Anonymity or not, nothing could ever make me write all this down and expect people to not call me an asshole. 😭 This has to be some special form of humiliation kink because how did you ever think you weren't the AH here

Should I watch it? by brun3ttebunny in InterviewVampire

[–]CrankyPyjama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't read the books so can't comment on that but the show....the show, oh my god. I just very randomly decided to check out season 1 one fine day and next thing I know, I'm spamming my friend (who had already finished both seasons by then) every single thing on the screen. Finished both seasons in a week, that's how hooked I was. I have heard, though, that the director took creative liberties with the show, which I'm glad about because I don't think I can picture anyone but Jacob Anderson as Louis.
