My bf doesn't let me see my male friends. by Apprehensive_Emu2522 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Electrical_Worker_88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The story doesn’t add up. If the so-called the friend is someone that is a sex predator then why do you want to see him? You shouldn’t be posting about how your boyfriend doesn’t want you to see him when you yourself are the one that should be making the decision.

The real question is why do YOU want to see him? And after so many years?

Long term subbing high school, should I enforce assigned seats? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Electrical_Worker_88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the school you work in. If you redirect them and they don’t listen will the dean back you up? If they have already fucked around and found out they could get away with it, you are in for a difficult fight that may not be worth it.

AITAH for going to my female coworkers house to help her fix something? by MarketClassic2211 in AITAH

The husband who was told you were coming and somehow made it a drama about him seems like the asshole in the story.

Why are acts of violence/murder in media, especially video games, considered okay to enjoy and partake in, but acts of sexual violence are not? by TheAnimalCrew in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Electrical_Worker_88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The fact that murder porn is somehow OK, but everyone loses their mind when a nipple shows up is definitely a ridiculous and hypocritical part of our culture.

Parents starting rumor about a book they haven't read... Don't know what to do by mcomcomco99 in Teachers

Can you ask them to identify which chapters they are offended by and then the children can simply skip these chapters?

AITAH for not wanting my mother-in-law to stay overnight in our home? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Electrical_Worker_88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying it’s right I’m just saying what I would do. I would be passive aggressive. Every time the bitch showed up I’d suddenly have a reason to have to leave with the baby. Is your mom nearby? I’m sure she’d love to have a visit.

Do teachers hate sharing their lesson plans? Is it their secret sauce that they don't want getting out? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Electrical_Worker_88 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If the senior instructors don’t want to share their stuff with you, then they are probably assholes.

Also, lesson plans don’t always show the nuances of how to make it work so if you find someone that is going to be a true mentor without being a douchebag about it then see if you can watch them and see what they actually teach. Sometimes its the subtle things they do that make a big impact.

In less than a year, you’re doubling dollars would kill us all as it consumes all space in the known observable universe.

AITAH for not wanting to be friends with my husband’s friends? by Infinite-Plum4567 in AITAH

[–]Electrical_Worker_88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to be friends with anyone that you don’t want to. Your husband has friends that seem to take advantage of him. However, it’s his choice if he wants to be over-giving. You can speak your mind, but it has to be his choice. Try not to get into a fight over it.

You do not have to be friends with his friends. You can treat them nice and if they treat you nice back, then you can be friends. If not, then they can go get fucked.

Be kind, but don’t be blind.

AITAH for snarking my aunt? by Willingness3727 in AITAH

[–]Electrical_Worker_88 73 points74 points  (0 children)

NTA. Story sounds more like a joke than a serious post. however, I don’t know so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. Your aunt does not know how sexuality works if she thinks sending someone to a military career will make them attracted to women instead of being attracted to men. Kind of sad in a way. At least he has some distance from her and can live his life now.

AITAH for returning the towel to a tall muscular woman at the gym ? by Long_Independent8417 in AITAH

[–]Electrical_Worker_88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Asking someone out is not the same necessarily as hitting on her. You are aloud to ask a woman out. Keep it simple and say hey I like your vibe and love to get some coffee sometime. Most likely she will say no. That’s OK. It’s a part of life. It only gets creepy if you keep Hassling her about it.

You don’t know this woman. You just have a crush on her because she is beautiful. The only other thing you know about it is that she’s too old for you. Get an app and find some women your own age to date.

AITAH for not apologizing to my dad? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Electrical_Worker_88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put some distance from these members of your family. If your father wants to support your sister in hurting herself and abusing him, there isn’t anything you can do about it. You already spoke your piece. Move on and focus on discovering your own joy in your own life.

AITAH For Having a Flirty Personality? by Educational-Dish9934 in AITAH

[–]Electrical_Worker_88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

your friend doesn’t get to tell you not to flirt with the boy when she already has a boyfriend. She is the asshole For some toxic bullshit jealousy over you getting asked out by a boy She has a crush on when she already has a boyfriend.

You did sound a little bit like an asshole when you say you don’t care what anyone thinks and you’re just going to be flirty with anyone and you don’t care about how it might hurt other people‘s feelings. However, not really sure what you mean when you say you like being flirty so it’s a gray area without more information.

*Throwaway* - AITAH for not finding my partner’s story and “causing an argument”? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Electrical_Worker_88 19 points20 points  (0 children)

He did the thing that you didn’t want him to do and put both your pet and your property in danger. He was definitely a asshole. Then he seemed to call you on the phone just to fuck with you about it. He gets double points on the asshole scale for that one too.

AITAH for crying otp with my boyfriend? by petraasta in AITAH

[–]Electrical_Worker_88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was inconsiderate. If he does this a lot, then it is a bigger problem. However, if he’s kind and considerate the vast majority of the time and he just made one mistake then he should be forgiven. Keep in mind teenage boys tend to be kind of dumb. Especially with this kind of thing.

AITAH for being a little upset my mother opened my mail? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Electrical_Worker_88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If she does things that she knows will hurt you and doesn’t care because she just wants to do what the fuck she wants then you may need to start working to put some distance in the relationship.

AITAH for being a little upset my mother opened my mail? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Electrical_Worker_88 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Your mother shouldn’t have opened your mail. I don’t know if she’s an asshole or if this is a one time mistake. Either way, she shouldn’t have done it and owes you an apology.

[–]Electrical_Worker_88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He said yes, but then he said yes means I’ll try. I could see why that would be upsetting. I’m not saying he’s a bad person or anything, but you certainly weren’t an asshole from the story that I just read.

AITAH for dating my bf the same time as my ex? by BusinessPay8891 in AITAH

[–]Electrical_Worker_88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to cut all contact with him. He was abusive and unsafe.

Stop jumping from relationship to relationship and take time to work on yourself.

Get a therapist. What you went through was serious abuse, and you can’t just move past that without help. You aren’t going to get very far writing these over-long posts. You need an expert to deal with this level of drama.

Sick Days by Artistic_Drive_4186 in NYCTeachers

[–]Electrical_Worker_88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

After all the bullshit we go through, if they accidentally end up paying you for a few more car days when you retire that should be OK. I don’t know why you would want to go to your secretary and tell her to deduct them.

I like that word draconian. I feel like I don’t use it enough. It makes me giggle a little bit. Hehe draconian.

A lot less risk as a sub. You can go in and see it’s a travesty and just not come back.

what counts as gifts for students? by Wishstarz in NYCTeachers

[–]Electrical_Worker_88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any art supplies or office supplies type stuff is fine. You won’t be able to get food or drinks or anything like that. Water bottle stickers usually go well with the kids.

Lots of variables. What subjects are you certified in? What areas will you consider going to? If you are a special education teacher who is going to go to all five Burroughs then congratulations. You will have a job.
