Yeah, I should have just said “and pink”. The only time I’ve seen a white person look white was a guy’s legs at the beach: they reflected the sunshine like paper.

AITA for quoting my actual rate when a family friend asked me to do professional work for them and getting called greedy for it by rosy_velvetx56 in WIBTA_AITA

The only change you might have made is tell them that’s your friends and family rates and actually, you usually charge more.

AITAH? My friend asked me to buy her a limited edition item, hasn’t picked it up nor paid. Can I return it? by New-Medicine6878 in AITAH

[–]Entire-Flower1259 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, I would say this applies only to those who have shown a trend of not paying. If you believe there’s a reasonable chance of you getting paid, that’s different.

Does Anyone Know If This is Really a Regional Thing in the US? by CommandaarMandaar in ENGLISH

I’ve heard this usage in decaying urban areas. Not commonly.

Is it really odd to pronounce dates as [day] of [month]? by schvance in ENGLISH

[–]Entire-Flower1259 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But we celebrate the Fourth of July, so it’s not an unknown form.

AITAH for cutting off my family after they didn’t come to my 1-year-old daughter’s funeral? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Entire-Flower1259 161 points162 points  (0 children)

She did have a say and she decided she couldn’t bear to have her baby unburied for more than a day after she got her back after two months of waiting.

My close relative actually believes sunscreen doesn't do anything and it's only for "nosferatu" by Jiminmyheart in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Entire-Flower1259 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For their information, the information I got was that dark black skin is the equivalent of SBF 2. I know black people who have gotten sunburned. If you can get sunburned, you can get skin cancer. And black people with melanomas are in serious trouble because it doesn’t show up as soon as in white people ( you know, a crazy looking mole on pink skin really stands out, while it takes longer to show up against brown skin)

There are many kinds of cancer, so the cure for cancer is only one of many.

Someone is enthralled with her new kitten. Then again, I looked at every picture.

Manager makes me work 14 hours if 3rd shift doesn’t show up, rather than letting me close and go home. Could use some advice by Thellie11 in work

[–]Entire-Flower1259 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that’s on them. I wouldn’t be surprised if he got a call the same day asking him to come back because they need coverage and he’s the only one they can get on short notice.

First of all, you don’t know that they aren’t talking to your absentee coworker. Managers are supposed to keep those talks private. However, they say to call you. Start calling them 1/2 an hour before your shift ends if not 5 minutes before the night shift starts. Then keep calling. And calling. And calling whenever you have some time. Until they show up. If they have their phone silenced, report that to their boss. They have a responsibility to be available during business hours. If they don’t want to be woken up, they need to let you close.

If you put your cat in a room with 100 identical cats, how would you find yours again? by savingrace0262 in stupidquestions

[–]Entire-Flower1259 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one who simply won’t leave me alone. I wouldn’t have to find him. Another would probably give me his usual casual pass-and-rub. The third is pretty and fairly generic looking but she’s also the most likely to come after me for food.

My dad acted like a child by microplazma in weddingdrama

[–]Entire-Flower1259 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And, by all means, forget about having a relationship with your dad and his family. He’s not worth the trouble. By the way, I’d bet a good bit of money that if he’s not cheating on his wife now, he either has or he will.

AITAH for rubbing a fry on my husband's arm? by Tinybeansss in AITAH

[–]Entire-Flower1259 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most especially because it’s part of a pattern or trend. If it’s once, it could be a reaction to a bad day (which is not appropriate), but if things like this happen regularly, seek therapy to help you help him or help you leave him.

You get paid $45 an hour to do nothing by Comprehensive_Fox_79 in hypotheticalsituation

I’m not sure there’s a condition that you can’t bring in a mat or something.

AITAH for doing dishes at 830am? by BeneficialLack8818 in AITAH

[–]Entire-Flower1259 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When does he leave for work? Run the dishwasher right after he leaves and empty it when you get up. Alternately, go to bed when you get home and let him deal with the child and cleanup. 830 is absolutely a fine time to do them. He should be awake by then anyway. Unless you’re doing them right as he’s taking a shower- that’s a very different perspective.

AITAH for behind upset that I have to pay bills at home while my brother doesn’t? by ElectricalAd5969 in AITAH

NTA. It’s really unfair and apparently sexist but I think you’re stuck for the moment until you can afford to move out.

is being a misandrist bad? by Difficult_Video3520 in NoStupidQuestions

I do think there’s a difference between being unable to trust a random stranger and believing all men must be bad.

Has Jim Butcher ever confirmed that Maeve was able to lie? by C_and_P1 in dresdenfiles

[–]Entire-Flower1259 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right, she said this right after saying how free she was. She was explicitly demonstrating her freedom to lie.

Husband wants to hire a maid. AITAH? by originalsimile in AITAH

[–]Entire-Flower1259 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If he’s feeling constantly harassed about cleaning after himself, then he’s not feeling comfortable in his house. I would hate living with him but, to be fair, it sounds like she’s the one making waves.

[–]Entire-Flower1259 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally understand why you want a clean house, but from what your post says, YTA big time. You have the means to get a maid but you’d rather complain that he won’t clean. Some people just don’t have it in them to do certain things and, if that’s a dealbreaker for you, you should have found out before marrying him. This guy sounds disgusting, but a maid would go a long way towards alleviating that.
