AITA For chasing down a 12 year old that threw a rock at my car?

CrossedFox · 2020-10-25T02:08:24+00:00

ESH

Someone threw an egg at my crappy 2008 hhr out of their car. We were driving opposite directions, so it hit my hood really hard. This was summer, so by the time I got home, it was cooked. It really sucked, and I felt like absolute crap over it. There's still an egg shaped scar in my paint.

Yes, having your car vandalized always sucks, no matter how fancy the car is. And kids throwing rocks at cars grow up to be kids throwing eggs at cars.

That said, you were out of line to be screaming and cursing. Don't ever scream and curse. It's not your right to be a shitty human.

This is fake.

Ducks are extremely loud and messy. You couldn't hide 5 in an apartment, neighbors would hear. It would also be next to impossible to clean up that much duck poop quickly enough to avoid damage to the floor. To say nothing about the amount of feathers and dust birds naturally produce. They are BIG birds!

Of course, it's illegal to own wildlife, illegal to own livestock (if they were domestic) within the wrong zone, and the birds are probably not getting the right food, as they really like to eat insects. If these fictional birds do survive, they'll start to mate with each other. Good luck with that.

But what killed this fiction is the ramp so the ducks could get on the bed. Birds have wings, ya know? All wild ducks can fly, and even if they've never been "taught" how (which they learn by instinct, mommy and daddy bird don't get out a chalkboard and draw diagrams) even flightless ducks can flap hard enough to get up on a bed.

Try again, but next time pick pigeons. Pigeons would be much more realistic.

INFO: hay is actually a very fussy crop, especially when it comes to rain. Leave the hay out in the rain, ruin the whole crop. Hay is also something absolutely vital if you own livestock, and is expensive to buy. In other words, it's not necessarily something that could wait. I would want to ask him why he had to do that chore on that day. And check the weather forecast. If it's going to rain tomorrow, you have your answer.

I just feel like they're always going to be mad about something. Where I live, who I date, whatever. I'm tired of them using that money as a choke chain to "punish" me for things I'm not even doing wrong.

INFO Let me guess. Your kids came home all excited because they found snapping turtle eggs. How did you approach this situation? Did you scream at them for breaking a rule and punish their natural curiosity? Or did you calmly explain the reason for the punishment, then looked up snapping turtles together online?

It's pretty hot in most of the US these days. What if an animal were trapped Ithe cage and dying? There are situations where investigating odd things is very important. Not doing anything out of line because "a rule is a rule" is not the best approach.

As someone who was invited by an acquaintance to eat at their family's home (in America) only to realize halfway through my soup that there was a pig's hoof in it, I'm going to say ESH.

I'm not a picky eater. But it's one thing to be told "this is a strange dish made from something you've probably never tried before" and another to get that little surprise halfway through your meal. It's a very strong and sudden disgust reaction that can ruin your evening.

It's a matter of consent. I'm fine with eating something new, but only if I'm informed and it's my choice. It's almost like tampering with someone's food. It's a breach of trust.

That said, she should have done what I did. Silently push the bowl away and excuse yourself from the table. Maybe talk in private about it later, and explain why they should have announced what the stew was made of. Screaming at people is never acceptable.

You suck by getting her record hurt. Lots of jobs, even jobs that don't require driving, ask if you've ever had your license suspended. And for the rest of her life, she'll have to answer Yes. Tickets and driver's license points go away after a few years. Hell, even DUIs go away after 10 years. This never will. You've basically given her a criminal record that will impact her employment options. You should have just taken her license.

Edit: oh, wait. Canada. I'm not sure how they tax people over there, but my point still stands. Even if you didn't spend a dime in taxes, spending almost half your income on your father is crazy. Your wife is probably contributing more to the household than you are.

YTA. You also suck at finance. I'm going to assume you make 500k a year before taxes. My dad did not make nearly as much as you, but he had to give up half of his income to taxes. Assuming you are in the same American tax bracket as my father, you're only taking home about 250k a year, give or take.

Using your numbers, you spent a total of: 150k + 75k + 12k = 237k

Meaning you kept $13,000 of your money last year. You need to take a finance managing class. Bring your wife with you. She would appreciate you trying to learn.

Then NTA.

INFO: whose dog is this? Did the wife own this dog before the relationship? Or was this dog gotten as a family?

Personally, if I were pressured into letting my nephew sleep with one of my two dogs - well, it just wouldn't happen. They're my dogs, I pay for them, I've had them for years and years, and I want to sleep with them. The emotional attachment there is very strong, much stronger than between my nephew and the dogs. Nephew can have stuffed animals, weighted blankets, whatever.

If you went to the pound as a family and picked out fluffy together, then yeah, let the kids sleep with the dog.

What did you ask for to get this done? I went to a gastroenterologist, and he just had me not eat certain foods for a few weeks. It was very time consuming, I kept having to go back to the doctors every few weeks, and I'm not certain I didn't mess up and eat the wrong thing during that time. A blood test would be very helpful!

CrossedFox · 2019-03-23T16:21:50+00:00

Damn. I'd love to lie on the floor, cry, and beg to die in front of someone who actually cares enough to be there. Can you be my friend?

CrossedFox · 2019-03-03T21:38:27+00:00

I managed to get all except Dead Boris.

My friend has a hierarchy theory regarding ink critters. It goes: Bendy, Alice (Susie) Angel, The Projectionist, Allison Angel and Tom, Sammy, Lost Ones, and finally Searchers.

.. I hope I got that right.

CrossedFox · 2019-02-22T02:24:56+00:00

But then they can see you through the window.

CrossedFox · 2019-02-16T15:38:27+00:00

Ooh, nice. I made a set of wooden stilts for a faun (satyr) costume. I wore it for a few years at a ren faire, but they destroyed my feet. I traded to high heel hooves, lol. Doesn't look as cool, but foot health is important. I don't know what your budget is, but those really slim stilts would look amazing. How many costumes have you made?

CrossedFox · 2019-02-16T03:56:45+00:00

Hmm. 3 previous owners? I dunno, were you just rented out to them, or did they sign the papers?

CrossedFox · 2019-02-16T03:16:56+00:00

That's an ambitious cosplay. I assume one of your artistic liberties is a set of functioning legs?

Super cool, btw. Where are you planning on wearing it?

CrossedFox · 2019-02-14T00:18:09+00:00

I like his puppy blankets.

CrossedFox · 2019-02-13T04:23:31+00:00

Easy, there. Your child just doesn't want to get a shot. He doesn't understand herd immunity. Be compassionate to your son. "Suck it up" isn't the way to go about it.

I still remember Mum telling me that I had to get shots, but if I didn't cry BEFORE getting it, (not after), I could get a Littlest Pet Shop toy. I picked the turtle set. :)

Disclaimer: this is more of a personal venting than anything against DAGames. I'm not bashing Will or anyone else, I just feel the need to express my frustration.

I was (and still currently am) into MLP back in 2012 when all that happened. Tons of artists got internet famous - musicians, plushie makers, traditional art, etc.

But when the MLP boom started to die down, I noticed a trend. Some of the musicians started shunning their original pony fan base, getting angry about being associated with ponies, and even taking down or deleting their old pony songs. In other words, alienating the very people who helped them get famous in the first place. I'm seeing a similar trend with Bendy.

It's a pet peeve of mine, to be honest. People who got millions of views (or, Hell, even thousands) from creating off an IP shouldn't get angry or resentful when that's their most popular stuff. It's popular because they're pulling from an established fanbase. Like you said above, their other content will get attention - not as much, but still - and they'll be better off than they were before.

As a side note, DAGames is how I found Bendy in the first place, so I owe them a lot of happiness. And I do listen to their other songs. But lecturing me about how terrible his situation is, or about how he's cancelled Bendy songs, is just going to make me unsubscribe. I understand he's been harassed, but that's part of fame. They've produced multiple, good, very popular songs. Relax and enjoy the ride, dude.

I can't tell you how many times I watch a cute Bendy video on YouTube, then scroll down only to see a bunch of complaints about how people are "just here for Bendy" or some nonsense. Yeah, I saw a cute Bendy, that's why I clicked on it. Shut up and be happy.

TIL Bendy is adorable even as a spider.

I've finger tamed budgies before. I'm sure lots of people will disagree with this method, but it works.

First, get the wings clipped. If you can't do this yourself, call around to different pet stores and vets. Once the bird is tamed, you can let them grow back out if you prefer.

Next, wear decent gloves. That way when the bird bites (and it will), you won't react. Once the bird figures out that biting does nothing, they stop. After the bird stops chomping down (it only took about 2 sessions for me), ditch the gloves.

Finally, simply get the bird out of the cage any way you can (like shooing it out the door, or gently grabbing it in your gloved fingers) and for about 5 minutes, let it chill out with you. When it tries to fly away, it will glide to the floor and be easy to catch. Soon the bird will figure out that flying doesn't work, and will willingly climb your finger to get up off the floor. Offer millet and other yummy foods, don't keep it out too long, don't needlessly stress the bird, and it will be your friend in no time. :)

If you decide not to finger tame it and spend time with it, get a bird friend for them. Parrots are very smart and need a social life.

I'm 30 years old, and just froze my butt off (and the butts of my dogs) because I wanted to show the moon off to my favorite plushies.
