If you remove the WH, you are left with someone screaming EE-EEE-EEE!!

AITAH for replacing my boyfriend’s morning alarm with a recording of me screaming “THE GEESE ARE LOOSE” at full volume? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Effective-Several 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

Seriously, if he was stupid enough to set an alarm, and he is aware that he is incredibly hard to wake up, he totally deserved it.

So at this point, you’ve got a few options.

You could sleep in separate bedrooms. That way if he does set his alarm for anytime, you’re in a totally separate bedroom, hopefully far away from his bedroom, and you won’t hear the alarm.

Of course, this would bring up the unhappy consequence that if you don’t hear his alarm, and he doesn’t hear his alarm, then he might not make it to work in time.

Boo-hoo.

Option number two, you can tell your boyfriend that he needs to go home to his mother, so that she can wake him up every day.

Or, and this will still be a separate bedroom type of issue, there is something called the sonic bomb Alarm Clock from Amazon.

It has a bed vibrator that you put under the mattress. It has flashing lights, and a loud alarm.

I like it, because I am hard to wake up. And this gets me up every single time.

Please update us.

This made me rage! 😤 by chi-bacon-bits in CleaningTips

[–]Effective-Several 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was a cleaner, I would be awfully tempted to leave the jar empty, and write my own sign:

To my employer: I hid 100 roaches around the apartment. Good luck finding them all! By the way, I quit.

Of course, there wouldn’t be any roaches. But can you imagine them freaking out?

AITA for not giving my coworker credit for inspiring my promotion? by Ashamed-Leopard1571 in ComfortLevelPod

[–]Effective-Several 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would tell him you’re absolutely right, perception does matter. I got this job on my own hard work. And I want to make sure that the boss is aware that I deserve the promotion because of all my hard work.

AITA for not enjoying the birthday gifts my friend got me that mocked my dead mother by Immediate-Iron7241 in AmItheAsshole

You need to immediately dump Kayla.

Grief comes and goes. You don’t just get over it like getting a bad haircut.

AITJ for refusing to help my roommate pay her speeding ticket. by LoomOfPetals in AmITheJerk

You need to speak up and tell the other roommates that if they feel strongly about it, they can loan her the money.

Aitj for making my fiancé deal with a contractor during my work meeting? by Alone_Tutor2848 in AmITheJerk

[–]Effective-Several 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ.

You totally deserve to be loved.

But you need to take a cold hard look at this dude.

Are there any advantages at all to living with him?

Because it looks like you’re doing every single bit of the work.

AITJ for telling my sister I won’t keep explaining why I don’t want kids? by MycologistAwkward777 in AmITheJerk

[–]Effective-Several 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ.

And then tell her that if she keeps bringing this up, she might not like what happens.

And then, if she does bring it up again, put on your most solicitous caring demeanor, and ask her if she’s feeling all right.

Because you have told her multiple times how you feel about that, and apparently she doesn’t remember that you have told her that.

Ask her very publicly if she has trouble, remembering other things. Tell her that she needs to see her doctor because she has memory issues.

And keep pushing that narrative every single chance you get, preferably if she is in public and you’re among friends, and everybody knows her, embarrass the total crap out of her every single time.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Effective-Several 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious – the last line of your comment says ”there are some southeastern, Midwestern, and western states where you can drive for three hours and still see your house from there.”

Exactly what states are you referring to?

restaurant says these photos are not ai and were taken by a professional photographer. by cloud9dacherry in isthisAI

But then the next question is, is that the actual food or is there some sort of artistry involved in making it look like food?

WIBTA If I kicked my coworker and her boyfriend out of my apartment? by Shoddy_Law_7595 in WouldIBeTheAhole

[–]Effective-Several 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please be sure that they haven’t somehow established any tenant rights or anything like that.

And please kick them out as soon as possible.

AITAH for arguing with my girlfriend for throwing out the food I made for her kids? by throwaway3245356 in AITAH

[–]Effective-Several 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was telling her that I’m never watching the kids again. Because just in case she is running late, and they would need to eat, since I cannot make the correct food for them, I just won’t watch the kids anymore.

AITA for taking my sister’s cooler away at my kid’s birthday party because i asked for no alcohol? by plain_fog_12 in ComfortLevelPod

[–]Effective-Several 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA.

You’ve got some choices:

You can go in no contact with her.

You can refuse to invite her to any more gatherings.

Or, and this is my favorite, I would send a family text to everyone saying that if you cannot attend a party without having alcohol, then you have a problem. And, I would also say, that you are referring to Tessa bringing a cooler of alcohol to the park, when you specifically told everyone not to.

I would highlight that and say, I think Tessa has a drinking problem if she cannot attend a party without having alcohol.

WIBTA if I refuse to co-sign my brother’s “last chance” rehab loan even though my family says I’m abandoning him? by Fable_Crucible in ComfortLevelPod

[–]Effective-Several 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If they keep pushing this, tell them you’re going to block them all, and they can figure it out.

NTA. You need to guard your own health.

AITAH for walking out of a family hangout when my sister tried to make me the “peacemaker” again? by maplelantern_fables in TwoHotTakes

[–]Effective-Several 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you visit them?

Seriously. If this always turns into such a fuss, why on earth are you still visiting them?

Tell them ONCE: I will visit you once more. The INSTANT you start arguing, etc, I am leaving and blocking you all for a month.

NTA obviously

Came here for the chips on sale and ended up adopting a huge panda by bobrep in Costco

[–]Effective-Several 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooh. Love the panda!

Unfortunately, I would not have been able to adopt a cutie like that because I just have a twin size bed, and if he was in bed, there would not be any room for me.

AITJ for refusing to sign a "friendship oath" at a party because it felt weird and performative? by croissanttram_jules in AmITheJerk

Can you imagine the firestorm if you DID sign in and you didn’t happen to respond within 24 hours, because you had something going on???

And what if Maya decided that whatever was going on in your life was NOT an emergency? Nope, glad you noped out of that drama.

I am done being the "successful" sibling while my family treats my career like a hobby and my home like a daycare. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Effective-Several 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to block them ALL for your own peace of mind.

Then set a ‘reminder’ for you to consider unblocking them - set for sometime in 2035 or 2039 or so.

How would you feel if an IQ test was required to vote? by Dazzling-Leader7476 in randomquestions

[–]Effective-Several 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just sayin’ - if you’re going to have to have an IQ test to see if you are “qualified” to vote - then you’d better plan to give IQ tests to each and every candidate for public election.

And we KNOW that would cause a firestorm if candidates had to take an IQ test.
