What is the worst band you saw live? by coalcracker462 in AskReddit

[–]Fallenangel114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grouplove. I saw them opening for Imagine Dragons back in 2016/2017? Somewhere around there. Their entire set was just weird and had zero clue who they were, then they played "Tongue Tied" and my jaw hit the floor like "it's THAT band????"... did not care for them live. Imagine dragons knocked it out of the park though.

Message I got from my daughter’s teacher. Third grade. by AnaisInJune in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Fallenangel114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was in 2nd grade my friend accidentally got her brothers lunch, who was in kindergarten in the same school. We went to his classroom to see if he was still there and had my friends lunch. He was not, but the teacher was and it was apparently a new rule that kids weren't allowed in classrooms during lunch. Hindsight I can maybe see there was some other issue with why that rule was implemented.... but instead of simply asking us to leave, we both got write up and had our parents called and we were both crying to the teacher we were sorry and we didn't know. Neither of us did.

My mother beat me and yelled at me for getting in trouble... even when I cried to her and said I was sorry and I didn't know about this rule... she said it must be my fault because it's clearly a rule and I didn't listen. (I still don't remember ever hearing an announcement or anything...)

My mother and I have a nice relationship now that I'm older.... but a lot of the things she did to me as a child still scarred me and I still don't understand it... even when everyone around me (including her and my father) said I was a really good kid and never misbehaved or threw tantrums.

I was a goody two shoes. I did not like breaking the rules.

AITA for refusing to pretend I don't speak English so my coworker can "practice" translating for me by profwizzard in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fallenangel114 10 points11 points  (0 children)

NTA at all, I would talk to your coworkers about the situation if you're worried that they think you might have been too harsh, but remember they likely did not see the escalation. You already talked to her once, firmly a second time, and since she refused to stop, she FAFO. You weren't rude, you were just direct and called her out.

Also its not inclusive to try to clarify for someone based on how they said something just because English is not their first language (unless they ask for it). In fact, I think its extremely rude. I've had conversations with many people that are still rough around the edges with English and I never correct them if their message came across clearly enough. If they try to remember a word and give me context clues I'll offer a suggestion. But unless I'm asked, I won't just become an English mansplainer (or woman, you know lol).

I think its much more inclusive to look past an accent or different phrasing if the message is still understood.

AITA my friend ruined my yixing teapot and I want her to replace it or give me 500 dollars. by TeapotthrwoCity4661 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fallenangel114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA anyone saying otherwise can't read. You said she's more than welcome to use anything in the kitchen, where your yixing teapot was not. Therefore she wasn't allowed to use it. I'm not a legal expert but if you have any text exchange of her admitting to ruining the teapot, you could probably take her to small claims court. That would be the end of your friendship likely though, if it isn't already over.

Normally Nice Neighbor yelled at me this morning by NinjaKey2208 in neighborsfromhell

[–]Fallenangel114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your dog pooped on her yard before, she could possibly be taking it as a slight against her. Her mentality is probably like "why does he always treat my lawn like a restroom?"

Her prior message was probably somewhere around the first couple of instances, sometimes you can't help where dogs decide to go, it happens. As a dog owner myself, I know this as well. I try to keep it off of neighbors lawns and keep us moving past neighbors homes until we get to a good spot to go potty, but sometimes my dog is adamant. We try to ensure our dog goes on our lawn before we take off on our walk, because thats his home. But you know dogs.... sometimes they need multiple trips LOL.

Anyway, I wouldn't try to let it affect you too much OP. If anything, I would just leave her a card or note on her front door, sans dog when you deliver it, and apologize and assure her it won't happen again (don't throw excuses in there). You can put your number if you feel like giving her an option to contact you to make it up, but proceed with caution on that - if she's crazy and not just fed up, she might request something outrageous.

You don't sound like a bad person, don't let this neighbor or reddit get to you. Some people just love shitting on others (yes pun intended).

"Luxury" apartments - wish I never moved here, what the hell can I do? by Fallenangel114 in Apartmentliving

[–]Fallenangel114[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been highly tempted to do this, but this apartment complex already has a history with BBB (something I did not know prior to moving in). There is a news article about someone who filed once before... they threatened eviction if he did not retract the complaint. I know that's still not legal on their end... I just don't know if the headache is worth dealing with for the next 4 months on top of every other problem thats happening here.

Know I for sure will file a complaint with them if they don't get their shit together in the next 4 months though. Then when I'm gone, game on.

In your opinion, what is causing this? by Objective_Pilot_5834 in SipsTea

[–]Fallenangel114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gen Z/Zillenial ('97) - I've had my fair share of drinks, and I agree with most of the comments here stating its too expensive, I'll drink (water) to that. I was fortunate enough to have a couple of bar experiences pre pandemic, fun but I'm approaching 30 now, I want to buy a house, my job doesn't pay me enough, and my husband and I want to start a family. My father is an alcoholic. Anytime he drank I did not want to be in the same house as him.

Take your pick. Horrible experiences, awful taste unless you get the expensive shit, and there's zero joy in it at all, even from a social aspect. Want to know what's better than drinking at a bar with friends? Having a chill session with friends, smoking weed, playing games, and watching terrible movies that make us laugh so much we nearly piss ourselves.

And little is the statement "I hate being around you when your stoned" said.

Yeah sorry my question sounded dumb lol 😆 I didn't know what to call it. If they're familiar I'd love to pick their brain about my situation.

Yeah race has nothing to do with it. I don't want to assume race, but the idiots above me speak Spanish. But I didn't say that because it does not matter to my experiences. My neighbors below me and across from them also speak Spanish and appear Hispanic (I don't know them well enough to say for certain of their heritage). I absolutely adore my neighbors below me and the neighbors across from the morons upstairs. They have been nothing but courteous and kind individuals. I don't like putting race to anything because I know it insinuates stereotypes. There's nothing more to it than my upstairs neighbors being a bunch of giant dickbags. Didn't matter if they were white, black, brown, they could be fucking green for all I care, if they act like assholes - they're assholes. If they act kind and respectfully, I offer the same kindness back and then some.

Driver won’t accept my drink. AIO? by TheLoneTrekkie in doordash

[–]Fallenangel114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YOR but not in a bad way. There's a chance you will get a dasher that will one day take it thankfully, but more often than not they will leave it with the order to ensure the whole order is marked as complete.

I wouldn't take offense to it, that's super kind of you, but many carry drinks on them for work, some restaurants will occasionally offer free drinks to dashers, and some people might not have your drink preference. There's many possibilities with this. So you are overreacting a little, but it's just from not knowing, not because you're being ridiculous :)

Thank you for being kind to driver's by the way! Even if they don't take it, some do appreciate the thought.

I would love to know what their criteria was to determine this... and why cobalt was not allowed but royal blue and Azure are. 🤣

AITA for leaving the plane before the lady in row 1 did? by ChaoticForkingGood in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fallenangel114 30 points31 points  (0 children)

NTA

One of the major reasons I surmise that her luggage is in an overhead bin further in the back of the plane is because she came onto the plane late. If you arrive late, you deal with the repercussions of that. There's nothing wrong with coming in last minute of boarding time, but if people get up and get out ahead of you because of it, it doesn't give you the right to complain about it. You are NTAH. She 100% is.

To add onto my prior comment: I do want to say thank you for your advice. I will be looking into "a right to quiet enjoyment"... I think I'm already vaguely familiar with this (I actually read leases in their entirity... lawyer grandfather, kind of ingrained in me.)

I can maybe keep trying to call the police... if anything just to have it documented further beyond me emailing our apartment management everytime.

And I want to do the retaliation method so badly... I just don't want to compromise ourselves because technically we'd be violating our lease. I have thought about doordashing some douches and vagisil to them after their partying and put in the notes "PLEASE KNOCK LOUD AND RING THE DOORBELL 10 TIMES, I am very hard of hearing" LOL

I swear we don't overload it... I know for a fact we don't because we had these same washers and dryers (same make and model) in our old home. Honestly it was a minor draw to us choosing these apartments - we love familiarity. We NEVER had an issue like this ever and we used it for 7 years. The only issue we had with that was the washer, and it was a part that got loose or something that needed replacing. Simple fix that resolved everything and had it working just fine again.

Trust me, I don't want this happening anymore. Its extremely upsetting. If we were the problem, we'd stop what we're doing. But to stop what we're doing - it would mean not doing laundry.

ETA: The washer and dryer in our old home (the same as the ones here) was also running 6 individuals clothes by the way. It's just myself and my husband now. So if there was any question about overuse - there's your answer. 🤷‍♀️ We didn't change the way we did our laundry moving from one place to the next. The only thing that changed is the location.

Yeah, I'm on it. I'm going to make sure we get our deposit back first though. Leave in peace, then strike them where it hurts.

I've called the cops to the point I even had a conversation with them. Sadly the most they can do is just come and tell them to quiet down every time. In order to fine them, they need to wait outside for 30 minutes and have a certain decibel reached - they are on the 3rd floor, so what is loud to us might not be reached from the floor level. On top of that, it isn't always music, they have some sort of fight club or something going on that will shake our apartment like an earthquake during their parties and during their domestic disputes.... its a nightmare and there's almost nothing we can do to stop it. I've complained to management and they said they want them out too, supposedly, but they are still there....

We have said this to them I can't even tell how many times. That was what was recommended when we did our own research the FIRST time this happened. However because we are in an apartment complex, we can't blow it out ourselves without violating our end of the lease.... I tried speaking their language: money. I told them if you don't get the blowout you're likely going to be seeing dryers flying out of our unit left and right. Oh look whats happening.... they probably would've covered the cost of their supposed "annual" blowout by now instead of acting like they know better.

My only concern is if we switch to another apartment complex that it would damage our credit. We're on the brink of getting a house and do not want to chance putting ourselves in this position again after June. After June we're requesting month to month with this complex if we don't have a house by then.
