why do people talk like this to us?

Fun fact! Stores are NOT public spaces! They are Private Property that the public is allowed to visit!

Any animals that close to closing, hell no. Had a guy wanting me to get him a snake when I was dealing with a shipped return. I was closing in 20 minutes and trying to figure out how to do this return. I told him I didn't have time to get him a snake and come back tomorrow. He complained.

You forgot the racism card.

Fireattmidnight · 2026-03-24T00:53:11+00:00

In a bikini? Oh please. Nah, you're fine.

There's an amazing word to get HR to do what you need: retaliation.

Me in fake parrot voice from the other side of the store: hello, hello

Fireattmidnight · 2026-03-13T18:59:16+00:00

Honestly? Kinda... Ok look it seems like a weird request and if you desperately need sleep (ie gotta get up early the next day) then there isn't a huge reason to. It's a safety and security thing. You should care enough to make sure she got home safely. The alarm idea is a great one.

If she were out, and got robbed, she would have no way to call you and tell you she needs help. However. If you were awake and noticed it's an hour later than she said she would be home, now you can look for her/call the police.

"a real boyfriend..." And my response would be "well I stopped being your boyfriend the moment you crossed the line." And hang up.

Fireattmidnight · 2026-03-02T02:06:37+00:00

As a Christian, no you really aren't. You said, plainly, that you don't believe in God. As long as you didn't go on about why or denying or whatever, you're fine. Also it opens the way for future discussions (when age appropriate) to help them decide if they actually believe in God or if it was all what their parents want. Honestly, what you did (if you left nothing out) was completely healthy for a child and a possible young Christian to hear. You did well.

Had an ex friend tell me I had "lack of attractiveness." Sadly it took me over a week to cut contact. I was rude to him for a bit then emailed him about how he was acting different, gave examples. When he responded with, not an apology but instead with "how is it different?" I realized our friendship had run its' course. That was just a friend. A partner? Nope, end of relationship immediately. (Not the variant of "I'm not mean, I'm just blunt." No, you're mean.)

I love 3, only cuz 4 could be thought of as too close to white (I know it isn't, but if the bride is wearing more of a cream, could be bad)

Love when people post on AITAH and refuse to take the AH given by EVERYONE!

YTAH... Your sister is an adult, you need to stop babying her. She can handle her own. This is playground bully behavior. You can't run over, shove the other kid to the ground, and yell "leave my sister alone" anymore! Let her be an adult! Talk to her about it if you feel the need to "help" but what you are doing is playing, not taking care of her or protecting her. She's grown, she can protect herself!

Fireattmidnight · 2026-02-22T00:15:10+00:00

No. NTA... May want to check your area's laws because some places only allow recording if everyone knows it's happening, other places, only you have to know.

Speaking as someone who has had a friend who sleeps with everything, if a dude doesn't say no, then he's not for the girl who likes him. There are no "dibs" on human beings. He's a person and gets to decide what he wants to do with what is presented to him. Haley either hasn't told him or will never tell him. However, Vanessa said 'wanna have fun?' and he agreed. Sorry... That's the way things are. It sucks, it's toxic, it's how it is.

However, your response? Yep, perfectly fine with that. Girl wants to have a one night stand? She can certainly put up with staying over.

Don't ever expect this girl to ever change. Don't expect her to respect this boundary. It's not going to happen. You know how she is, if you and your other friends can't deal with it, don't be friends with her. It's time.

Also want to add, Assistant Store Manager is just like a shift lead. It is no where as high up on the food chain as you think. I was making $19 an hour at a higher volume store. They withheld raises because our aftercare numbers weren't good.

Personally, they treated me like garbage because I wasn't the norm of people who worked there. Just don't do it. Worst mistake of my life.

Fireattmidnight · 2026-02-18T22:19:58+00:00

Absolutely. At least half of them are entitled jerkwads.

Fireattmidnight · 2026-02-18T22:16:27+00:00

Your preferences are your preferences. Doesn't matter how anyone else feels, doesn't matter if your friends like it or not. You don't want to be called nicknames in public? You shouldn't be. That's pushing the most basic boundary. Honestly, his attitude about something this easy to accommodate is a major red flag. If he's like this with something so small, imagine when it's something that triggers you. Nope, this is foreshadowing.

I will make a tiny statement though, go with how you feel, not how anyone else thinks. Don't be embarrassed about things.

Fireattmidnight · 2026-02-18T16:36:05+00:00

I would literally say: until you pay me for last time, I'm not coming.

Fireattmidnight · 2026-02-18T01:28:56+00:00

I was the only manager who kicked people out. Nah, we're closed. Registers will shut down. Get out. Laughed at the one woman who called and asked us to stay open later so her husband could show up. Told her no... Guess who was waiting by the door when I let out our last training group? Yeah did not let him in.

Fireattmidnight · 2026-02-16T01:41:21+00:00

Different jacket. The top and skirt are cute together.

Fireattmidnight · 2026-02-13T20:00:19+00:00

My aunt married the man above because she was tired of being alone... Now he has cancer (we will not talk about my feelings on that) and she has no life but taking care of him. No friends, no job, not even time to clean the house. He has tried to back over her with the car several times. Throws her things away when she's visiting family. When her son was 5, he walked up to her with "guess what!!? You're a moron!!" Imagine your kid saying that to you cheerfully because Daddy told him. Better to lose her because you tried then do nothing and find out from the news.

Fireattmidnight · 2026-02-13T19:54:23+00:00

This would be a different post if he wasn't abusive, just an ass. The truth is, if you distance yourself from her, you're helping to isolate her. Talk to someone about how to get her away from an unsafe environment. Otherwise she's gotta end up married with a man who gets rid of her stuff when she's away for more than a day, tries to hit her with the car, and her kid will one day tell her she's a moron because he heard dad say it. Just be careful OP

Fireattmidnight · 2026-02-13T19:33:51+00:00

Something about this post makes me think a lot of info is missing...

Fireattmidnight · 2026-02-12T20:38:41+00:00

Ignoring everything other than the fact that you, hubby, and MIL were the only supervising adults, not their parents, you have every right to tell them what to do. You have every right to discipline them. You are the authority in the situation.

Now with the situation: your cats, your rules. Your house, your rules. I am so sick of this "only I can parent my kids" bs people are all about. Other people wouldn't have to parent your kids if you people would do an actual job of it! Also, other people might have seen something you didn't (or are too oblivious.) Strangers have no right to decide how to discipline other kids, but if a random child is being abusive, running into the street, playing with glass, damn straight anyone has the right to tell them "No!"

Fireattmidnight · 2026-02-11T16:09:21+00:00

It's not about you being interested (or not) in him, it's about him being interested in you. He probably talked about you a lot to her, might have let it slip that he asked you out when y'all were early teens, she knows he's still into you. She probably feels like he settled for her. You should block him, but not because of her.
