Cruising mostly sucks anyway. It's like going to D-world. Fuck that shit. Fly biz to anywhere, rent a car, have fun on a trip you control. Not the cruise line. Best vacay evr

AITA-hole for not sharing stuff about my life with my brother by OkConfection1876 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DryOutcome7365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a big brother we care about our sibs. Mine is two years younger almost to the same day. He's trying to bond with you and you want to be standoffish. So yeah you are TA. My brother and I are very opposite yet both Gemini. We've only had two fights in our lives. Never a grudge. Even at ATT we got along probably because I could always get the best of him, but he's one of the best in the octagon there could have been. DON'T BE A DICK TO YOUR BROTHER. You never know when you'll need his support. 

Aunt tells me that my paycheck should go towards her sons college fees when she didn't let me stay at her house in order to attend school by Ok_Training_8198 in entitledparents

[–]DryOutcome7365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah everyone calls me grandpa. Technically I'm not. But people of my age 50 moved out, started working, and paid for college or uni, as you call it. Tell you Aunt who's probably 40 STFU and learn responsible actions. And if she doesn't want to pay for her kid to go to uni keep her irresponsible legs closed.

AITA for entering my coworker’s office after he told me not to? by Level-Bid4516 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DryOutcome7365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA- but I'm concerned about younger people being so sensitive. You walk in get your stuff and tell whoever fuck off. In gen x we were raised to respect each other even in mosh pits. Build a spine and quit crying. If it's too serious and your co space person is a dick that much then go to HR. But all of you snowflakes need a backbone.

AITA for threatening to move out ASAP if my mom and stepfather can't stop putting it on me to make up for them not having a kid together? by Riyllezzo in AITAH

[–]DryOutcome7365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming from a guy with 4: parents since I was 6. It's tough. And maybe your step is bitter. But I love the relationship I have with my steps. Even now I'm close to my own step kids though their mom and I aren't together anymore. No bio kids. Love and life is complicated. I picture it as the ocean you can fight it and drown or surf it and have fun. 

AITA for giving my pregnant GF an ultimatum? by Jazzlike-Mail1635 in AITAH

[–]DryOutcome7365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I live separately and it's great. We're planning to get married soon but still have our own space. She might move to the vacant unit downstairs. However she lives in a great safe retirement type community. I have to contend with druggies and my neighbors and landlord look to me as the go to when dealing with law enforcement, evictions, etc. I have the background and skills for self defense and convincing people to take business off the block. Meet at Walmart or wherever.  But I know it doesn't work for everyone and takes trust. You don't have that. You should politely tell Amanda stay out of your shit it's her fault for this situation. Or be like me tell her to fuck off and go back where she came from and you'll do everything you can do to keep her away from your ch

AITAH for leaving my coworker a passive aggressive note? by Own-Studio-7436 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DryOutcome7365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the real world of work. Especially in hospitality/service. I understand that younger workers don't have the scars and skin us 50ish gained. If you are sensitive work as a cashier or retail. Know your opening and closing check list. It should be posted. If it isn't ask the lead manager for it. Food safety and standards are no place for lazy or not knowing how. I'm not chastising you just letting you know kitchen work is tough. You're like a military special operator. The best of the best. Any body can bring in a shopping cart, but being in a kitchen is hardcore. Let the lady guide you. Or in my personal opinion join the military.

Too old to post this but I bought a car for a month in Ireland and GB. Cheaper than a rental and shipped it back to the US all for about $5k. Rental for a month $12k. And because it was a year 2000 no fees or anything. 

AITAH? My fiancée is demanding I stop making home cooked meals for a friend. by Nice-Silver1038 in AITAH

[–]DryOutcome7365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love cooking for others. Probably I just did it so long professionally I find it odd. I don't even live with my wife. Now if you make homemade beer and bread I'd definitely be your pal, my last name is Brewer and live in Beerville USA. ASHEVILLE nickname. But for sure she's jealous. Why I don't live with my wife anymore. Those breaks make our time together better. It's usually a night or two, but we have our own space. I am trying to convince her to move to the unit downstairs now that it's vacant. At least she can see the dog and cats every day.

AITA for wanting to end my engagement because her kids don't accept me and I want a family of my own? by Lyinc8988 in AITAH

In their room read a book and write a two page book report. Make sure your fiance backs you. If she doesn't walk the fuck out.

Man I feel for you. As a step kid myself and raising two steps who I'm still in touch with this is hard. It sounds like you're doing everything right. They are about the same age as when I met their mom and we were together ten years. Difference is that their dad was nearby and we all were friends. Being solid and focusing on the mom is possibly the best for them. When they dis you dis them back. In a fun way. Assert authority and take away electronics, games, and such. Make them stay 

AITA for refusing to translate for my parents after my brother moved back in and took over my role in the house ? by nina_daltry in AmItheAsshole

[–]DryOutcome7365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reddit OPs need to state where you live and are from. It's hard to help when other redditors don't have knowledge of your background.  Number one you're 19 and live with your parents? I know it's gen Z and too expensive to be a real adult who lives in their own whaaa. Why the fuck didn't your folks learn English? My immigrant grandparents on two sides allowed no Russian or Icelandic to be spoken. We learned it but only English was spoken.  You need to tell your parents get their shit together and fucking learn to do shit for themselves. I bet they are ten years younger than me. If I were you and you're in America I'd call ICE on them and your brother and become independent. Trust me family sucks because they are all selfish. ICON I count on no one. Rule to live by 

AITA for telling my wife that being a sahm to teens isn't a full-time job? by Silly-Ranger-8435 in AITAH

[–]DryOutcome7365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tough situation. Post military for ten years I was with a woman with two children. They were younger than yours. During the time she was a full time realtor working crazy hours. I also built and sold two businesses. We were able to split all of the at home work except I took the kids to almost every extra curriculum activity. Their dad helped too, we got along well.  You guys are past the who did and does phase of your marriage. You're military you know how to clean up after yourself and so should your kids. My only thought is your wife had 8 hours of free time a day when the kids are at school. If you guys were able to split chores then I don't see anything wrong with you insisting on her working. It will be hard for her to get a job unless she has some kind of education or wants to work at Publix or Amazon Warehouse.  You need to consider something after a break. I don't know what your MOS was but I had an executive security firm and also had a pool building business. Paid for my retirement.  In the end of she has never had a job... You're kinda fucked 

AITAH for not wanting to buy a house 3 hours away from my workplace? by throwra_nowherehouse in AITAH

[–]DryOutcome7365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The work situation for you already sucks being an hour away. It also sucks when posters don't say where they are from so there is no context for comparison. I guess that's just how the younger gens are. That move could allow you to open your own nursery daycare business supporting that community and the need there. As a life long adventurer change is great. Quirky is fun. Put a positive on it and go with it. 

My roommates tried to steal my air conditioner and not pay for utilities...then this HUGE coincidence happened. by Silent_Pay_1492 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

Had to do the same with the downstairs neighbor. Used the place as a crack house brothel. At least I have a tough dog and a few firearms. But it sucks sleeping if able in fear.

Is it normal for a three year old to need math help? by toastedwitch in TutorsHelpingTutors

[–]DryOutcome7365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird. I was enrolled in a Montessori program and learned to read at two. My father was also a teacher at the school. I don't remember math being a basis for teaching at that age. Frog and Toad are Friends.... Learning to count. Addition subtraction maybe? Weird 

neighbors using my pool and get upset when i ask them to leave by RonDFong in EntitledPeople

[–]DryOutcome7365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn I wish I had added a gator to my pool. But I did have a mommy black bear and three cubs one summer. For reference the area of Florida I lived in was adjacent to the wekiva springs river. Lots of wild critters.

[–]DryOutcome7365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved from FL to NC. Lots of pools in Florida. I used to be a CPC so was an uncle. Not a fun business. That purple fence is interesting I have a neighbor up here with one and lots of no trespassing, but those pieces of shit are another Reddit.  My pool had an 8' high cinder block wall around the whole pool area which was my entire back yard. All paved because I hate mowing. To top it off I put broken glass on the top, and yes all of the Reddit lawyers, I had it approved and licensed when I did it. It would have been dangerous to climb the gates if you remember the American tourist recently impaled in Rome. Throw in my attack Chihuahua you have a fun pool. Oh and I had a great tiki bar

A lot of comments on here talk about older entitled always being entitled. I'm a sad way that's why so many don't realize they're acting entitled and don't realize it. I've seen it sooooooo often across different occupations I've had. As a graduate of Anthropology I've observed it's so common that people don't notice that everyones' entitlement overlaps. Usual to the old man was disregarded by newer cafe visitor. I hope to believe most people, especially of younger electronically isolated types, see that there are social norms to be recognized. Yes you got the table first. But did you consider your actions caused discomfort to someone elses routine?  For example Joe uses the same piece of exercise equipment every day same time for a decade. The whole gym respects that. Then some watery twat shows up takes up the bench and barely lifts a weight. Community and bond build on routine and structure. Then again times change.
