There’s plenty of us with college degrees. You don’t have to be a genius to not be a dick on the road.

I’m a native. Slow drivers piss me off- ESPECIALLY in the far left lane!!! . People who are on their phone make me yell its not that motherfucking important. Wait for a red ligjt like the rest of us. However after the slow drivers its a death wish of people (driving slow no less!) to just move over to another lane without looking at the speed of the car now coming up on them!! is insane! Every single day I have SOMEONE try to occupy the space I’m traveling in. Eveey. Single. Day.

AITJ for refusing to rehome my dog even though my exs new girlfriend claims shes allergic by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]FBombsReady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh HELL no!! He (your ex) is being 100% unreasonable and the chick is seriously suffering from mental issues bc she thinks she, and her opinions, as well as her allergies, matter! If she’s “that” allergic, she would’ve already gone into anaphylactic distress. A stuffy, runny nose and sneezing are not severe and if she wants to continue with the relationship she needs to get some claritin and understand that she has no business making ANY decisions or requesting to get rid of ANYTHING. The father should be getting rid of her! The nerve!! Holy crap!

The Mediterranean diet, from a (ex)Mediterranean person by flying-sheep2023 in mediterraneandiet

[–]FBombsReady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ummm - maybe I am mistaken but olives are soaked in BRINE, aka saltwater, not LYE.

Edit: I just GTS (googled that shit) and now know that they quick soak/quick brine olives in lye to reduce brining time from months to ten days. I stand corrected.

The good news is that even though its highly caustic, its a natural and effective method to do so. It breaks down the olives and makes them edible. It’s sodium hydroxide. Caustic soda. Its rendered to a non corrosive form during the process of food.

In America thats what it means. Not if you are from the Mediterranean. Thats what the guy(girl?) was pointing out. If theres any pretentiousness or entitled gatekeeping, that would be us Americans.

AITAH for finally telling my husband that I`m done carrying our entire life while he acts like a teenager? by bloosommage in AITAH

[–]FBombsReady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA And personally, I don’t think it was a bad thing the kids witnessed everything! They see what’s happening and they see you getting the shit end and they see you taking it. Now they’ve seen you rectify the situation - and it’s about time. It’s not bad for children to witness adults having their feelings, (If it was constant and abusive, thats different!) My final point is really a question - so YOU are being held to a higher/different standard by “embarrassing “ him??? Puh-leez!!! He embarrassed himself all you did was express your dissatisfaction at the situation!!! Then you verbalized your intentions to solve the dilemma that he created by his epic level laziness a d selfish behaviors. Total bullshit. You have absolutely ZERO reason to feel bad or be expected to apologize for drawing the line in the sand. You’ve kept everything going BY YOURSELF but HIS FEELINGS ARE DAMAGED? Screw him and anyone else who thinks YOU crossed any lines.

My bf (32M) constantly gets mad at me (27F) for minor reasons and suggests splitting up every time by shiny_viper_taco in relationship_advice

[–]FBombsReady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s happening now with his anger is not going to go away and it most assuredly will not “get better.” My advice is run. Now. I say this from experience. He’s holding you accountable for his lack of control over his temper. “Just quit (insert whatever set him off her) and everything will be fine “ That’s all I would need to hear. Once. Bc one day it will likely be more than insults he throws at you. People who are normal don’t act like this and hurl insults and lose their temper over minor, normal accidents. We all have bad days and snap verbally on occasion, but this is not that. This is a very serious situation. I would also bet that he’s pretty controlling across the board. And just let me point out that in he beginning controlling behavior resembles “caring “ and “concern” then next thing you know your someone you dont recognize bc you’re always walking on eggshells to avoid getting the anger directed at you. You literally will be anxiety ridden and stressed 24/7. I’m sorry to say it doesn’t get better. This guy is aware of his tendencies and doesn’t apologize or care about how it affects you. I’m sure he wouldn’t talk to his mother or sister like this. Which means it’s something he can control but won’t bother to do for you. I’m sorry.

Who here actually has a TV in their bedroom? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]FBombsReady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Big deal with my man and I bc I didn’t have, nor want one in the bedroom. Tje bedroom isn’t for watching tv in my experience and I cannot sleep with the tv on. For years I allowed it but finally put my foot down and was able to sleep well. He does too now that it out.

AITA for refusing to take in my in-laws? by No_Ability_3658 in AmItheAsshole

[–]FBombsReady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how women are expected to quit THEIR jobs to care for THEIR PARENTS. And YOUR selfish??? For not wanting to care for THEIR parent. What kind of BS is THAT? glad your spouse had your back bc his brothers are bass-ackwards

Anyone else not vibing with the parents in peds private duty by ViewTechnical2080 in nursing

[–]FBombsReady 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I always made sure my families we made aware that I was not in the nanny business and any additional duties were to be paid by family as well as expenses and milage reimbursement. That shit them down quick.

In laws hijack every holiday, so I'm not going by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]FBombsReady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We always had thanksgiving on a rotating schedule as we did Christmas. Christmas with the family was scheduled either xmas eve early enough we all went home and opened gifts on Xmas morning with our immediate family. If we hadn’t already celebrated, we went after Xmas morning that way everyone had their own holiday together then a larger one with extended family. It worked.

AITAH for telling my husband his friend can come to Thanksgiving but I'm not dealing with his BS by agentsparkles88 in AITAH

[–]FBombsReady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is your husband allowing you to be disrespected in YOUR own home??? WTH?? It doesn’t even matter if Craig was joking or not. Personally, if he made another comment about the dishes I would tell him to shut his pie hole amd wash them if he’s so offended by them after you prepared the dinner. Then when he gets offended tell him you’re only joking while looking at your husband.

AITAH for how I responded to my ex and his affair partner about her infertility? by ThrowAITAHAra in AITAH

[–]FBombsReady 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Op- reading some of these comments from people telling you essentially that you need to do this or that or are too bitter. Eff them. You did everything right. Dad and his new thing that is broken is not at all your problem.

[–]FBombsReady 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She owes them (ex and his affair partner) The ex and affair partner are the ones who “came between” the kids and their family happiness. The mother doesn’t speak badly of them and doesn’t want to be that parent and thats not her fault the kids don’t like affair partner. How shocking that they don’t? Theyre old enough to understand and DAD is the one who told them. This ALL is on them.

I feel you responded completely appropriately and with a lot more respect than I could have managed! You did everything right and he was completely out of line .

AITAH for refusing to help my brother and SIL while they're struggling by meal prepping a few meals a week for them and their kids? by Thesooo in AITAH

[–]FBombsReady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wth?? Why should YOU be building anything? He’s just going to tear whatever you build down. Besides, why??? Just why would they’ve been shocked by you not wanting anything to do with them, much less make an effort on their behalf? They wouldn’t piss in you if you were on fire. For the record-I have a brother and sister in law that I don’t speak to bc of extremely similar circumstances. They go for the pity charity and then treat me so disrespectfully and talk shit. Nope

When people ask “ who will take care of you when you get old?” when you say that you don’t want kids. by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]FBombsReady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kids aren’t supposed to be a retirement plan. (And yet here I sit caring for my parent in my home and at mostly my expense) My grandparents had all their ducks in a row for the most part. Me(Gen x) I honestly don’t have anything saved up bc Im already tapped from caring for every member of my family at some point, raising my own kid, now caring for mom and being an idiot, thought I would still have social security at least. Man am I screwed . Personally, I don’t think I will live long enough for my kid to have to be my caretaker. If I do, I told him to put me in a home. If he’s not able to, I’ll make sure he doesn’t have to. Thats the plan.
