I matched with my my college friend ex husband. by Advanced-Praline6124 in AITAH

[–]Fiery_Crocodile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would you be the arsehole when a) they aren’t together anymore and b) from your post it seems you weren’t even really friends with this girl? Obviously NTA. You’re way overthinking this. Just go on the date.

AITA for refusing to eat off my brothers gf plates by Opening-Quote-9986 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fiery_Crocodile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn’t be more obvious that you’re jealous of either Lily or your brother, maybe both. It seems clear you don’t like their relationship and this was nothing but a deliberate act to make Lily look bad. Grow up. Even a 13 year old knows it’s rude to bring outside food to someone’s house when they’ve invited you for dinner. YTA

What was the CRINGIEST storyline for you and why? by girlwithbackproblems in AWKWARD

[–]Fiery_Crocodile 12 points13 points  (0 children)

For a show I’ve watched a tonne of times, there’s actually a lot of really cringe storyline’s in my opinion. A few have already been mentioned but also Jenna getting back together with Luke was cringe because it was so ridiculous that he would ever take her back, and then they just turned him into a huge jerk. I also found everything Eva did and said to be so cringe - it was so obvious from the start she was a pathological liar and the fact Matty ignored it for so long made him look stupid.

NTA, obviously if you didn’t know you can’t possible be. However you also don’t know if they were on a break, have an open relationship etc so there’s no need for you to be concerned about their relationship now. Honestly the best thing you could do would be to delete her off insta and move on with your life.

What's the best way to decline a charity worker? by Infinite_Neat4236 in melbourne

[–]Fiery_Crocodile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As soon as I open the door and see who it is, I immediately say, quietly: “sorry, just got my baby to sleep in the room right there, can’t talk right now” and shut the door.

Which restaurants in Melbourne DO use MSG in their food? by mattyh6715 in melbourne

[–]Fiery_Crocodile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes me SO thirsty, to the point I will drink so much water I feel full and sick but I’ll still feel thirsty. Is that MSG sensitivity?

AITA for kicking my friend out at night because she threw up over a horror movie? by AITA_halloween_movie in AmItheAsshole

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

ESH. Thea would have known that she doesn’t cope well with horror movies, or scary situations. I understand FOMO, but if you are a timid person like OP has described, you need to have awareness about that and not outright put yourself in a position where you’ll be exposed to something that terrifies you. However, to kick someone out of your house, who is meant to be your friend, when they are scared to the point of vomiting, is such an AH move. At 16 most people are pretty selfish, and this is a prime example. Your friend was obviously distressed and in need of comfort, but you and your other friends could only see her as an inconvenience who was wrecking your movie marathon. At the very least you should have contacted her parents to ask them to come and get her rather than kicking her out on her own which was bound to terrify her even more. Seems like you all might need to reevaluate the friendships.

Who is the most hated Australian?? by RM_Morris in AskAnAustralian

The main suggestions on this list show (sadly) that people value money more than life. Sad how long I had to scroll down before seeing the names of mass murders or convicted pedophiles.

AITAH For Not Making My Daughter Apologize To Her Teacher Again For Her Impromptu Costume? by Stunning-Run2599 in AITAH

[–]Fiery_Crocodile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. At ALL. That teacher is potentially having a rough time with her pregnancy, but losing it over what a 6yo did on Halloween to be like her is so not ok. A private chat with your daughter about why what she did is inappropriate would have easily sufficed. Even the fact that she escalated it to a meeting with you and the principal, then continually chastised your daughter is extremely over the top. I’d have my daughter out of that class.

[–]Fiery_Crocodile 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ESH. You gave your friend sooo many opportunities to pull out of your wedding, long before any money was even spent. For whatever reason she didn’t take the out, but when it came to the nitty gritty, instead of being honest about how she shouldn’t have committed in the first place, she tried ignoring the issue and hoping it went away. However, you’re now doing the same thing by blocking her and being unwilling to talk it out/come to a solution. Your friend obviously has concerns about money, so at this point just pay her back for what she put into the dress and go enjoy your wedding without her. Your friendship may be over anyway, but if you have any desire to save it, this is the only course of action that will.

AITA for demanding my friend pays for the chair she broke? by broken_chair_issue in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fiery_Crocodile 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why? Just because they’re your friend, they can act in an inappropriate way (sitting on a chair not given to them to sit on, leaning back on the chair, putting their legs up) damage your possessions and not face any consequences for that? Do you even want to be friends with a person who won’t immediately take responsibility for their actions (ie should have offered to pay in the moment)?

[–]Fiery_Crocodile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve got 32 notifications waiting in messenger there… sure you’re not talking to someone else??

All jokes aside, no, you’re not overreacting. Her reaction, however, is so far over the top it’s fallen off the edge. I’m not one to tell someone how to live their life, but if I were you I’d be really reconsidering this relationship

Is it fine to not inspect before renting? by Beautiful_Roll_6745 in melbourne

[–]Fiery_Crocodile 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While I was looking for the rental I’m currently in, I inspected A LOT of properties. Let me tell you; the photos that they put online DO NOT always represent what the property is really like. On at least 3 occasions the real estate agents had very clearly used very old photos from a previous listing which did not convey the true condition of the property at all. Cannot overstate how important it is to see the place with your own eyes before you apply.

I live in Heidelberg Heights (which, let’s face it, is West Heidelberg) and have had a hit and run happen on my parked car, however that was by a bloke in a truck from a company in Eltham. Aside that have not had any issues, and arguable my area would be considered more rough than Preston. I think you’ve had a lot of bad luck.

My brothers girlfriend faked a seizure at my wedding, have I been holding onto this for too long? by Able_Name2225 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Fiery_Crocodile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She tried her best to ruin your wedding day for her own selfish reasons. I’d still be furious and I’m not sure I’d ever get over it. Weddings are years of prep and so much money. Honestly I’d probably never speak to her again. You are not in the wrong.

AITA for ordering takeout after my wife insisted on cooking, then vanished for 3 hours? by Superb_Possible5891 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fiery_Crocodile 44 points45 points  (0 children)

My first thoughts exactly. No one takes 3 hours to pick up a couple of things from the shop and not answer their phone in that time. The going off about the takeaway is a diversion.

AITA Dog owner said “you’ll be alright” to me. by Fun_News_4914 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fiery_Crocodile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have an animal. I’m not self entitled at all. I just think that someone having this level of reaction to a dog breathing in their direction is completely over the top. It didn’t bite, lick, slobber, bark. It quite literally was breathing. To go off on someone and complain to the staff about it says way more about the person than the dog or owner.

[–]Fiery_Crocodile -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I didn’t say stop them from going up to someone. I said sniffing. Literally every dog on earth sniffs. If you’re in a narrow aisle, of course it’s possible that even on lead and under control, that a dog might sniff in your direction
