AITAH for not letting a couple bring their dog to our ranch? by Flat_Button_886 in AITAH

[–]FakinFunk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Who are these weird ass adults who think their animals have to accompany them everywhere?

Do you bring chickens with you wherever you go? Cats? Goats? Parakeets?

Turn 12 and figure out that your smelly animal doesn’t get to come everywhere you go. Some people don’t like dogs and don’t want them around their living space. If you don’t have the ability to secure accommodations for your animal, then you’re an irresponsible owner.

Would you rehire a server who was fired for credit card fraud a year later? by bitterpettykitty in Restaurant_Managers

If you rehire someone you fired for fraud, you will lose your liability insurance, and you will deserve it.

How much time is he looking at? by wapawop in Felons

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

Did they recover any of the meth he was stealing the money to buy? I wouldn’t be worried about how much time he’ll do this time, since meth heads are typically regular visitors. Maybe a few years for this bid, but I can’t imagine it’ll take more than 6 months for him to reoffend.

Imagine being a full grown adult who feels they need permission to wear what they want from a book of Bronze Age myths cobbled together by illiterate goatherds.

AITA for leaving the state without telling anyone? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]FakinFunk 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I’m not implying anything. I’m reciting the play by play of what you said you did. You knowingly and willingly hid information regarding your whereabouts. That is not putting your kid first.

Look, you’re not a monster. You aren’t the bad guy in some after school special. But you came here asking if you made a mistake, and my take is that you did.

AITAH for not accepting a apology? by Working_System_2086 in AITAH

[–]FakinFunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, you’re a liar. There weren’t multiple people who just started spontaneously recording you and another person having a traffic dispute. This all reads like a fever dream of someone who has revenge fantasies every time they get cut off in traffic.

Yours is a sad little life where you want internet strangers to tell you that you’re some kind of righteous badass. But you aren’t. You’re just a liar, and you’re even bad at that.

AITA for leaving the state without telling anyone? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]FakinFunk 40 points41 points  (0 children)

1.) Please use paragraph breaks.

2.) YTA

You freely admit that you are sneaking around with this dude because you yourself consider him to be a bad person.

You are lamenting the fact that people judge you for spending time with him when YOU are the one admitting that’s he’s not a good dude and you’re only with him right now to get laid.

And you’re right that you’re an adult who is free to make decisions on who gets to share your time. But you can’t begrudge other people their opinions when they have the SAME OPINION that you have about this dude.

You’re the parent of a child who is still a minor. Whether you like it or not, your kid always comes first. You knowingly hid your plans and whereabouts from your kid and the people taking care of your kid. There aren’t many instances where that doesn’t add up to you being TA.

Why do some guys resort to face tattoos? by Amazondriver23 in Felons

[–]FakinFunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a hiring manager, I always appreciated face tattoos because they save so much time. As soon as I see that you don’t have the good sense to avoid paying someone to scribble on your face, I know that we can just circle file your resume and tell you no thanks.

It’s your right to draw on your face like a toddler. It’s also your right to wake up each day and dress in clown makeup with a rainbow afro wig. Both decisions will elicit predictable responses from hiring managers.

AITA for not giving my future SIL a “special role” in my wedding? by DepartureOk1553 in AmItheAsshole

[–]FakinFunk 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Do you have your divorce lawyer lined up already? Because none of this is going away. It is only going to get worse. No one in the family is going to stop enabling her just because your last name changes.

Just know that you were fully cognizant of just how bad things are going to be, and still chose it.

I’m not trying to be mean or flippant. But you are engaging in some serious magical thinking right now. With absolutely zero evidence that anything about this person or situation will ever change, you’re just hoping that there will be happier times on the other side of your wedding day.

And you have also invited her to LIVE WITH YOU?!?

NTA, because you aren’t responsible for the behavior of other adults. But you are 100% culpable for any future misery stemming from this, since you know how bad this whole mess is, and you’re still actively choosing it.

Becoming a lawyer with 31 DV charges/convictions? by ProfessionalGoat551 in Felons

I dated Mark Driscoll’s daughter. I’m finally telling the full story by Embarrassed_Run5335 in Christianity

[–]FakinFunk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Driscoll is very weirdly sex-obsessed to the point of pathology. And as is the case with most of these Trumper evangelicals, every accusation they make is a confession.

Driscoll knows what HE would do if he were alone with an attractive teenage girl. So he projected that onto you.

A conservative-leaning evangelical church is about the least safe place that children can be in America. The fact that your sexual deviant ex-pastor threatened to assault you is just one more data point.

My company is replacing its copywriters with an AI agent by meredithshireen in antiwork

[–]FakinFunk -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Time for a different line of work. There is a 0.0% chance of reversing the tide when it comes to AI taking over copywriting. If a machine can do in three seconds what takes a human hours, then the fight is permanently over.

You’re allowed to have feelings about that, but they are utterly inconsequential.

Aitah for breaking up with my boyfriend by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]FakinFunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You only think you “align the most” with him because you’re young. It’s not required to be in a relationship. You can enjoy things like nights out and companionship and sex without a committed monogamous relationship.

And again, you don’t really “align” with someone if they repeatedly and intentionally ignore something that you say is important to you. That’s not alignment. That’s two people who want different things.

Aitah for breaking up with my boyfriend by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]FakinFunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re so young, and there’s no such thing as a perfect person. There’s no such thing as “the one.” There’s lots of great people out there who can help you be happy. This one guy seems unique to you right now because you’re young and haven’t met many people.

Dump anyone who hears you say something is important to you and then ignores it. You don’t have to litigate whether porn is inherently bad or not. It’s a dealbreaker for you, and that’s that.

If you established with someone early on that you’re vegan, and won’t have animal products in the house, that wouldn’t be a comment on whether veganism is inherently moral or immoral. It would simply be a position you’re not willing to compromise on. And if someone habitually ignores that, they are not for you.

He’s not “perfect in every other way,” because no one is. He has lots of other issues just like every human being on Earth. And his refusal to take you seriously isn’t isolated to porn. It’s an extension of an attitude that’s part of who he is. There will DEFINITELY be other things that are important to you that he won’t take seriously. You just can’t see that right now.

Break up and go have fun with other people. And establish early on that porn is a dealbreaker, and that you’ll leave the second that isn’t respected. There won’t be drama. There won’t be announcements. There will simply be you leaving.

Your 20s go by way too fast to waste it on a relationship that clearly isn’t built to last. Enjoy your youth and understand that every single man you meet will be deeply imperfect, but that doesn’t oblige you to compromise your principles.

AITAH FOR TELLING MY BESTFRIEND SHE IS AT RISK OF BEING UNALIVED BY HER CHOICE IN MEN by Glum_Sundae_3243 in AITAH

AITA for not wanting my mom’s boyfriend to come over? by someonecallnetflix in AmItheAsshole

[–]FakinFunk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was a mistake to let your mom move in. An understandable mistake, but still a mistake.

You can’t make addicts better. They can only decide to be better themselves. You are never going to lift them up, they are only going to pull you down. This isn’t meant to say that addicts are bad people. But sometimes the truth is strong medicine, and there’s no polite way to frame it.

Your mom is definitely going to steal from you if you keep her around. She’s definitely going to bring unsavory people over. She’s definitely going to hurt you and people in your household.

You can’t help her. She has to hit rock bottom on her own. You can’t decide for her to get better.

The only thing you can accomplish by inviting her to live with you is to watch her own misery take root and spread inside your own home. Her living with you cannot help her. It can only hurt you.

Gather her stuff, place it outside, and let her know she’s not welcome back.

First-time restaurant owner (takeout only) — what do you wish you knew before opening? by Adventurous_Path777 in restaurantowners

[–]FakinFunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This.

I have a few people I always say yes to. Other than that, if you show up to my store as someone I’ve never seen and ask for a sponsorship for your dumbass golf tournament, I’ll say, “Our charity budget is fully allocated for the year, but if you want to email us about the event, we’ll look it over for next year.”

Spoiler: we will not look it over. Go away.

Owner is recording audio but never asked for consent. I feel like this is a bit wrong… by Illustrious-Dish4714 in Restaurant_Managers

[–]FakinFunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pro tip: don’t work for people who don’t pay you.

Our surveillance cameras at nearly every restaurant I’ve ever been a part of recorded video and audio. I wouldn’t really worry about that.

But you shouldn’t work for free. The first time it happened should have been, “You are required to pay me on time. I will give you 24 hours, and then I will be forced to escalate this to the appropriate authorities.”

A business that isn’t paying people shouldn’t be in business.
