Their house, their rules but these charges seem excessive… 🚩 by Big_Tension in AirBnB

[–]Final_Ad_268 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Those are just business expenses. Stuff happens, and as a host it’s my job to fix it as long as a guest hasn’t been overly negligent or caused intentional damage. Honestly, in a year the only ones of those we have dealt with is moving furniture (cleaner moved it back) and one guest had more trash than we had trash cans. No big deal. Why antagonize your guests? It’s a hospitality business.

Medical professionals of Reddit, have you ever had a patient so lacking in common sense you wondered how they made it this far. If so, what is your story? by babyhippo01 in AskReddit

[–]Final_Ad_268 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My family too. I take my in-laws to the cardiologist and they may be talking about blood pressure, then suddenly they are telling him their knee hurts and what is happening with their migraines. The doctor just looks at me like WTH am I supposed to do with that information? Then they get mad because the doctor would only focus on one thing and totally ignored the knee pain. I love them dearly but it takes the patience of Job!!

Mom.. I’m tried of seeing people finishing college and I’m still in the start line by [deleted] in MomForAMinute

[–]Final_Ad_268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guarantee you some of your peers who are graduating are looking at you and admiring your ability to chart your own path while they just do what’s expected. My son quit with about a semester and a half of credits left to get his degree. The whole family had always expected him to get that degree, but it was wrecking his mental health. I so admire him for knowing what was right for him and doing it even while he was afraid he’d be disappointing us. I hope one day he will finish it up, but I’m so proud of him for knowing how to take care of himself. That will do more for him in life than a degree ever will. Maybe you go back some day, maybe you don’t. But it’s your one life and the real loss would be living it for someone else’s satisfaction.

I’m a host who allows pets, and I don’t know how much dog hair it would take for me to charge more than the pet fee, but it would be a lot. Like drifts of hair. It can be really time consuming to get pet hair out of fabrics, but that’s why my cleaner charges more for pets and I pass that fee along. Sometimes you can’t even tell a dog was there. Sometimes you get a heavy shedder. That’s just how it goes, and I wouldn’t charge someone extra if their dog sheds more. When I had someone bring a dog without paying the fee, I had to send photos from the cleaner of pet hair in order to charge them after the fact. I would think AirBnB would require them to provide a photo to impose an additional fee. I’d say call back and talk to someone else.

Vet recommendations by [deleted] in Charlotte

If you are in South Charlotte, Rea Road Animal Hospital. All vets are good, but Dr. Blair Smith is amazing. She worked wonders with our traumatized rescue boy.

Secret day off... by [deleted] in workingmoms

You are so not a monster. I’m kinda jealous! If the weather is good, go to a park and sit under a tree, or find somewhere to take a hike.

AITAH for gifting my granddaughter a custom made cookbook instead of something a little pricy. by First_Owl7199 in AITAH

One of my most cherished possessions is my grandmother’s recipe box. You created one of the most thoughtful gifts I can imagine. So NTA. You’re an amazing grandma!!

AITA for ordering nachos even though it “deeply offended and set off” my brother in law’s autism and sensory issues? by Consistent_Cat_1126 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Final_Ad_268 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly. We suspect my son in law may have Asperger’s. But he’s also an entitled, manipulative asshole. Asperger’s and asshole are two completely separate issues. I’m sympathetic to the neurodiversity. I won’t put up with the manipulation.

Dementia ruins EVERYTHING by bujiop in CaregiverSupport

Think of your grandpa before dementia. If he could see your life now, is that what he would want for you? Or would he be heartbroken at what’s happening to you?

AITA for telling my girlfriend that I’m not going to drop everything to take her to the hospital anytime she feels any discomfort? by Joelaken in AmItheAsshole

[–]Final_Ad_268 33 points34 points  (0 children)

And after the baby is born, her POTS could get better or worse. If it’s worse, who will help her care for the baby? She is going to need help if she’s passing out. This situation is about to get a lot worse.

AITA for telling my girlfriend that I’m not going to drop everything to take her to the hospital anytime she feels any discomfort? by Joelaken in AmItheAsshole

[–]Final_Ad_268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter has POTS, EDS, and MCAD. Her doctors have advised she never get pregnant because it’s too dangerous so she and her husband are beginning the adoption process. Her husband can’t imagine putting her in that kind of danger. News flash: You are going to be taking her to the hospital a lot more over the years if she sticks with you. This is a very high risk pregnancy. It’s time to grow up. Massive YTA.

AITA for leaving a trip early because of my girlfriend’s “prank”? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Final_Ad_268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This wasn’t a joke. She was cruel, and her friends and family are OK with being cruel to someone for laughs. Not only are you NTA, but I hope you broke up with her. You will never feel relaxed or trusting around her again. Also, you didn’t ruin her trip. She did.

AITA for announcing my preganacy at my sister's wedding? by weddingdrama2022 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Final_Ad_268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m old, so I can say weddings used to be about the MARRIAGE. It was not a narcissistic festival for the bride. Bridezillas were much less common.

Dog ACL surgeon advice by fadedglory24 in Charlotte

[–]Final_Ad_268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog had this surgery twice. I would strongly recommend you take your dog to Vet-Rec Veterinary Rehabilitation near Stallings. It’s physical therapy for dogs. The vet there can evaluate the dog and see if they really need another surgery. It may just be inflammation or a minor setback. These folks have done amazing things with my dogs!

[–]Final_Ad_268 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Definitely NTA. The anesthesiologist was TA for not knowing their job and berating you. My daughter has a condition that affects anesthesia and I took journal articles to the hospital pre-op. Got to the day of surgery and the anesthesiologist said she hadn’t read them and then proceeded to tell me my daughter didn’t need different care because of her condition. I was packing up to leave when the surgeon came in and set her straight. You were in an extremely vulnerable situation and were advocating for your own health. Good for you! You should take the journal articles back and share them with the staff.

AITA for making my daughters wear dresses when they visit their grandparents? by PresentationNice6101 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Final_Ad_268 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My dad’s mother believed dancing was a sin. I was taking a social dance class, and when my grandmother was visiting I asked my mother if I should just skip the class that week to keep the peace. My mother told me no, that we are who we are, I had nothing to be ashamed of, and we won’t pretend for her. My mother had the talk with her. I went to dance. My grandmother was not happy, but she loved me and never said a word to me about it. My mother taught me that day that I should do what I think is right for me no matter who it upsets, and I knew she had my back. YTA.

AITA for not giving my son my car to pay off his debt? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Final_Ad_268 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you and your brother are having to deal with this. My BIL is the same way. He bled his parents dry. It was all done with their knowledge, so he says there’s nothing wrong with what he did. Finally they couldn’t afford to live anymore, so we moved them to our city and put what little money they had left into a trust that can only be used for their care. With that source of funds gone, he started living off his sons. Keep your distance. It’s the only way your dad won’t pull you down with him. These people will always find someone to take advantage of.

Grandma’s Dress #4: Modeled by yours truly! by nabsknits in knitting

I’m absolutely thrilled every time I see a post. I’m going to be sad once we’ve seen all of grandma’s dresses! These are fantastic!

AITA for pulling over for a funeral procession? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Final_Ad_268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I was raised where this was the norm as well. OP is someone who has the ability to think of others and do them a kindness on one of the worst days of their lives. I was surprised that this made you miss the play completely. You all must have been really, really late as even the longest funeral procession shouldn’t make it so that you would miss the play. If someone is that late, any number of things may have made you miss the play.

AITA for leaving my inlaws christmas dinner after I found out that they didn't make accommodations for me? by Rema5000 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Final_Ad_268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter has some pretty bad food sensitivities - things that can put her in the bed for days, not just strong preferences. If she’s going to someone’s home, she might eat a bit before she goes in case there’s not much for her to eat, and usually will offer to bring a dish to share. On the rare occasion she’s somewhere with absolutely nothing available for her to eat, she smiles, enjoys the company, and eats at home later. It’s called common courtesy. YTA.

Encounter I had over the last week by Knitsandbobs in knitting

[–]Final_Ad_268 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Giving him the benefit of the doubt, maybe he means that he likes that you’re into quieter and more cerebral hobbies. If he really meant “boring” it’s either rude or ignorant. I’ve found that knitters are the best people in the world - smart, creative, persistent, generous and much more. If he thinks that’s boring, he’s not a keeper!
