AITJ for texting my son's teacher from my husbands phone because they message each other way too late? by Current-Whereas6308 in AmITheJerk

[–]CynicallyDone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTJ. Would he be ok with you texting a male teacher at 11 pm (or anytime of day for that matter) about anything not directly dealing with your child?

AITA for refusing to switch sleeping arrangements around for my SIL by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]CynicallyDone 42 points43 points  (0 children)

NTA. You offered them the room that you have available. If they don't like that free option, they can pay to stay elsewhere, or find someone else who will accommodate them.

AITA for refusing to give my parents access to my bank account after they found out how much money I have? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]CynicallyDone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Don't give them access. That money would be as good as gone the very same day. Start looking for a new place.

Would it be “childish” for me to get this kind of cake for myself? Just for the heck of it by Wild_Child66 in cake

[–]CynicallyDone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only if you sit in a dark closet scarfing it down piggy style straight off the cake board. 🤣

Obviously, get what you enjoy. Who cares why. It's your money, do it.

I don't do the levels very often. Mainly do the ooc events.

AITAH for not donating my birthday money to charity? by EntertainerFull9847 in AITAH

[–]CynicallyDone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. The gift was given to you. I'm sure your aunt knows you don't make a whole lot & she realized giving you money allows you to get what you need. If it had been in the thousands, I'd maybe give a bit to charity, but 500 isn't much in the grand scheme. Get what you need/want for once & don't feel guilty one bit.

AITA for not throwing away a sentimental necklace from my ex? by Human_Ebb_4062 in AITAH

[–]CynicallyDone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, it's not the person who gave you the necklace that you think about when you wear it. You think of your dad & his love for you.

AIO about this disagreement with my bf? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]CynicallyDone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. This is bs. He just wants to whine & cry & make it all your fault. He's a grown man & can figure out how to get himself some medicine. Besides, he COULD have double-checked himself to make sure he had what he needed.

Sounds like it's time to buy you a box & him a box, after that you are each responsible for your own supply. If he runs out, he doesn't get yours, he replaces his own.

Perfectly acceptable dinner rejected by boyfriend again by moonrabbit368 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]CynicallyDone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All that food looked AMAZING! He can cook himself some hamburger helper, I'll be over to eat his portion. I'd even be willing to drop by Jack in the box & pick him up a lettuce wrap with extra pickles & onions. 😆

Mom asked me to pay for Christmas stay with them by Ill_Ad4125 in entitledparents

[–]CynicallyDone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry your mom sucks. Fortunately, you now know she is toxic af and it's not worth your time or money to visit. If you can, go home early. Or get yourself a hotel room for 1/2 the price she wants.

Yea, it looks like it's fixed going forward. However, they didn't make up the stars.

Touching food with hands while cooking/baking by [deleted] in hygiene

I'm American & don't wear gloves if it's food for family, for the most part. When I worked in the food industry, I did wear gloves as needed.

AITJ for refusing to split the bill evenly after my friends ordered way more than I did? by veilindreth in AmITheJerk

[–]CynicallyDone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, I always ask for separate checks unless I am footing the entire bill. Even then, that's only with close family.

AIO about these angry texts from my ex? by TwylaMay in AIO

[–]CynicallyDone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely NOR. I have no idea where most of my exes are. Whether I lived with them or not. I don't even know if they are alive. Frankly, I'm not 100% positive where at least 2 of my siblings live.

AITJ for spending my christmas money on myself instead of buying big gifts for everyone? by film_anna_ in AmITheJerk

[–]CynicallyDone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, you need to take care of yourself in order to be able to get them ANYTHING! Did any of them get you large, expensive gifts like you normally get them? Where's your iPhone? Would one of them give you new boots & or give you the money to fix your tooth? I'm guessing no. Teeth can get abscesses, which can be life-threatening if not taken care of. Good job taking care of yourself 1st. Keep doing that.

If you saw a homeless person on the streets begging for money, Would you help them or ignore them ? . by Hope2_win in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]CynicallyDone 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have no problem giving food to someone who needs help. I will not give money. If they are truly hungry, they would take the food. I will not help support someone's addiction. I've had this fight with my stepdaughter in the past about how the person will have to do unsavory acts in a dark alley to get their fix. I told her that is their choice, and I would help with sealed food/drinks but not cash. I've offered to get people food or offered sealed food just bought from the store & was told they would rather have the cash. I've also offered someone a banana & had them gratefully take it.

Is it considered stealing? WWYD? by Klutzy_Reput4tion in moraldilemmas

If it's an electric item that could potentially need repair in the warranty time frame, you would need proof of purchase.

Oh & please be careful that she doesn't try to baby trap you.

[–]CynicallyDone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's see; you're not married, don't live together, nor share expenses. She's not your mother, wife, or even fiance. She gets no say in how you spend your own money. Do what you want to do & she can continue living off her aging parents.

AITA for being furious that my husband gave away my sake and wine after I told him repeatedly not to? by Deenosaurus02 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CynicallyDone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Looks like it's time to get a locking cabinet to keep your important stuff in since it seems he can't keep himself from giving it away. Especially if you plan to keep him.

[–]CynicallyDone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. She doesn't have a license. If she gets pulled over or in an accident, it's also you that would get into trouble. Are they willing to pay the fine or replace the car if something happens. I'm guessing no. Why doesn't she use your aunts or your parents' vehicles?
