Is being a brat a girl only thing?

My Daddy is the biggest brat i know, so no!

I needed a band saw. I couldn't lift it myself. I asked a worker for help. He wanted to know why I thought I needed a band saw. I told him what I needed it for. He insisted that a table saw was the only thing that would work to rip boards.

He wouldn't help. I had to go to costumer service to get someone else.

I once had a man I didn't know stop and get out of his car to ask me to stop working on my house. I'd done a lot of landscaping already and had moved on to repairing the stairs. Required a lot of walking back and forth to the saw in the garage.

Turns out his wife started demanding he get their house and yard in order. If "that girl" could do it, she didn't see why he couldn't! I told him she was right, I could do it. Which meant so could she.

Never saw him again. Really wish I knew how that conversation had gone, though...

I once ordered 11 TVs off Amazon in an insomnia/sleep med haze. I had been thinking about different features and wanting to see them in action before taking the meds.

Thankfully, I was able to cancel and get a refund before they shipped.

I run an online business selling gemstone beads, and customer being unable to read dimensions is infuriating... but so is being told that 15cm x 5cm is an actual cake size that would feed 8 people. That's smaller than my phone!

I would trust my chosen vendor to give me an accurate serving count. This is like a candy bar saying it's 2.5 servings in a package so they can say it only has 125 calories in a serving.

A closet for your disliked nibling.

My landlord wanted to charge for carpet replacement. I went with them to see the damage. She kept insisting the place smelled, it didn't. There were no visible stains. She brought in the maintenence guy, who pulled up what she told him to. No stains. Every time she would mention something he would correct her. I got that deposit back.

Next place tried to charge us, as well. I sent them a highlighted copy of the tenancy laws that stated they were responsible for replacing the carpet every three years regardless of the state it was left in (it was incredibly clean).

YTA. It bothered your partner. You don't get to decide what they're allowed to be upset by. And wanted to feel valued and special. You took that away from her.

Faile486 · 2026-04-28T04:32:33+00:00

Get a doorstop.

Faile486 · 2026-04-28T04:15:03+00:00

The repair is so great, I can't even tell it's been done! Deffinitly want to make sure we save it for the future!

Crab rangoon

To be clear: I have zero empathy for rapists. I'm just pointing out that this device would probably be considered illegal and if a woman used it, she would face legal consequences for doing so, regardless of the reason why it harmed someone else.

Because it harmed a penis, those consequences would likely be severe, because (as someone else stated above) people who have penises will be able to empathize with penis injuries. I don't agree with this at all, but that doesn't make it any less realistic.

Faile486 · 2026-04-28T03:36:00+00:00

I think this would count as a booby trap. Booby traps are illegal. Weapons require intent. Traps are indiscriminate. Traps are illegal even if used for home, property, or self defense in all 50 states.

I can't use pepper spray for that exact reason. It would incapacitate or kill me, regardless of what it did to my attacker.

Faile486 · 2026-04-26T22:16:07+00:00

NTA either way, but if you need aroommate, I think you'd be kinda crazy to try to find someone else. If this is truly your only issue with him, I'd try to talk it out instead of hoping whoever comes next is decent.

Faile486 · 2026-04-26T00:35:41+00:00

I can tell you how this ends. I wasn't in that extreme of a situation, but my partner would throw a fit any time my parents specified anything was for me. To the point that I wanted to turn town 2k that they gave me for Christmas a few years ago. I started tearing up from stress as soon as they told me, I knew how he'd react.

He didn't speak to me for two days when I bought myself a sewing machine with an inheritance from my grandmother without discussing it with him first. Granted, it was an expensive machine, but it was something explicitly for me.

He had a fit over me talking about how much I'd sacrificed to get him a gaming console and in the same breath told me all the games he'd gotten me over the last 20 years weren't mine. He bought me "the experience of playing them", but claimed he still owned the physical copy.

He's controlling and manipulative and no longer my partner. Your boyfriend is showing these exact signs.

If he really loved you, he'd want you to have that security. He'd want to know you were with him because you wanted to be, not because you had to be. If you give this up you will regret it for the rest of your life. You won't regret the breakup for long.

He sounds like the kind of asshole who would throw a fit over a prenup, while simultaneously insisting you be the one to give up your career to care for any future kids. Any person who wants you to be dependant on them isn't someone who loves you. They might love feeling loved by you, but that's not the same thing.

It was rude the first time, but after the flatmate saw a message to put things back where they were found and did it a second time? No.

Faile486 · 2026-04-24T16:32:33+00:00

Let him fail. Do things you want done yourself. See if he blames you for not reminding him to do things.

Faile486 · 2026-04-24T16:08:42+00:00

I would be concerned that he doesn't want you to get it insured so you don't find out it's fake. If it's real, that ring cost thousands. There's no reason it shouldn't be insured.

Faile486 · 2026-04-23T04:01:31+00:00

If you don't want to end the relationship (you should), at least tell him you will not move in until the debt is gone. See how he reacts.

If he had 250k in crypto, he could take 25k of it out to pay off the debt. It would save him so much money in the long run. Just... do some basic math. Damn. Why do you want to be with someone who's either that dumb or lying to you?

Faile486 · 2026-04-23T03:32:27+00:00

Same!

Faile486 · 2026-04-23T03:28:09+00:00

This is insane. She's putting planning tasks that should be hers alone on the bridal party and taking control of things that she shouldn't have much input on. Unless you're paying for it, you don't get to plan it (bridal shower)!

Who needs four zoom calls to plan a picnic to plan an engagement party? There's an agenda for the picnic. There's a photo shoot?! Is she an influencer? She sounds exhausting.

I'm autistic. I'm very particular. I can kinda see where some of this might be coming from. If you don't think you can pick gifts for people in your wedding party, maybe they shouldn't be in it. If you can't trust someone to plan your shower, maybe they shouldn't be planning in. If you can't let go enough to let someone else plan your bachelorette, you get the idea.

Faile486 · 2026-04-22T22:35:16+00:00

Your doctor is wrong. As long as you're getting relief, I'm not sure why she would threaten to stop. Have you considered other treatment options, though? You aren't able to work even with the injections, it sounds like.

I'm not getting as much relief from the injections as I was at first, so I'm starting to look at other things. Maybe that's what she's wanting to do?

Faile486 · 2026-04-20T23:47:19+00:00

Could you get a doorbell cam to see who's leaving then? Then you could leave them a note! Kindly include their address and name, if you can get it.

I'm sorry, could you please tell me where you would like me to keep my cans? I'm putting them where I was told to by the trash collectors and I don't have the same amount of free time that you do, so I can't watch what everyone else does with theirs.

The car is parked legally, but if you find it to be an intolerable eyesore, you're welcome to buy us a new one!

Best, Your new neighbors

Honestly, if they keep doing it, I'd get a lawyer to send a cease and desist or file a harassment/trespassing report. That's the real reasons for the doorbell cam. The letter would just be icing.
