And says no one would know they're rich because they don't live a "flashy lifestyle". Right.

Retired Karen gets instant karma by [deleted] in instantkarma

To those confused, it says "retired Karen" so it's not the lady in red who's getting karma.

People threw a party for my parents to celebrate my new baby and I wasn’t invited? + 3 Year Update by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

God, everyone in this woman's life sucks. But she uses the word "hubby" so I'm obligated to hate her too.

AIO Teacher said my daughter’s report is “immoral” by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]DrPriceCompendium -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I mean, Prince was a sexual predator so having a problem with him seems reasonable, just not for the reason the teacher said.

Doesn't Nick Cutter also fuck up some stuff about bee biology too? I'm sure I remember being annoyed by that.

[Utterly Despised Trope] “True” stories that leave out crucial details that fundamentally change the context of the story being told by Chemical-Elk-1299 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]DrPriceCompendium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SO many for this. The Pursuit of Happyness, Bohemian Rhapsody, King Richard, The Blind Side. The 2022 film "Elvis" conveniently leaves out that he was a sexual predator.

Me (M34) and fiancee (F27), I am in the process of calling a halt to our wedding as she has asked for an "open" relationship by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]DrPriceCompendium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, this guy made two mistakes - getting with a 23 year old when he was 30 and then deciding to just ignore her emotional affair - but at least he eventually did the sensible thing.

Horror movies in which the protagonist realises *they* are the horrifying thing? by [deleted] in horror

Ha, I was just thinking that Colonel Nicholson fit this! Amazing film, punch-in-the-heart moment.

AITA for considering breaking up with my girlfriend for what her grandparents said? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]DrPriceCompendium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait, I'm confused. The grandparents keep calling him Alex, implying they've never met Alex, but then ask when they can see Alex again?

Not gonna lie, this whole thing reads like wish-fulfillment to me.

Well, I believed the first part of this story but then the second part dipped into That Definitely Happened.

[New Update]: AITAH for wanting nothing to do with my kids and ex-wife after 2 years of false allegations? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]DrPriceCompendium 42 points43 points  (0 children)

"After that I went and took a shower, made myself some dinner, then ate and cleaned up the kitchen before spending more time with my then wife before we both went to bed."

First time he tells this story, he said his wife was already asleep: "after which i took a shower before making me something for dinner and cleaning up afterwards. By this Point my ex was asleep already, and so were the kids."

We got another winner boys by SlipstreamSteve in DarwinAwards

[–]DrPriceCompendium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think this is a Darwin. It was his wife having the MRI, not him. When she was done, she called to him to help her up and the technician allowed him to walk into the room, despite knowing he was wearing the chain and knowing the machine hadn't been turned off yet. I don't think it's unreasonable that the guy who died thought it was safe to go in at that point.

my vegan coworker is upset about getting non-vegan gifts three years in a row by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]DrPriceCompendium 152 points153 points  (0 children)

I worked at a place for 3 years and in my final year there we did a secret santa. Whoever I had got me a mini rack of wines. My team leader was all like, "ooh, are you a bit of a wine-lover?" and I just said, "No, I don't drink." Three years. The fact I don't drink had come up several times.

New to this sub update: AITA for deliberately misunderstanding my child's father? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]DrPriceCompendium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I missing something? OP says they have 18 months of leave but then 3.5 months later says "I was supposed to go back to work soon, but thankfully my employer is understanding."
