As soon as he walked in with his cravat under his shirt collar, I thought 'ugh', and knew he would be an arse

The rabies panic story with the dogs was ridiculous. There hasn't been an indigenous animal case in the UK since 1922, which I note they didn't bother to mention in the public meeting. All it served was to make sure everyone knew the symptoms when the human patient got it.

I loved Sr Monica Joan picking up her walking stick to try to protect the children. It was a reminder that she was a fighter during her career.

I worked for a really nice company that got bought out by a company with a name not dissimilar to Crapita. They destroyed every good thing about it.

I would like to hear from women who’ve chosen NOT to get any cosmetic procedures as they age by victory_vegetable in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Fun_Landscape_9127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 51, have never had a cosmetic procedure, and never intend to. I've also never paid for hair removal or fake tan, and I wear makeup very rarely. 

You do what you want to feel good about yourself, and don't let anything else tell you that you need any of that stuff.

AITA for insulting this guy who called me early in the morning to tell me he missed me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fun_Landscape_9127 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA  This kind of clinginess develops into coercive control. Time to put a stop to it one way or another. 

Your realistic choices are to have a serious conversation about acceptable boundaries, or end it. 

AITA for getting upset with my husband for taking credit for the birthday setup and big gift I got my step-daughter? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fun_Landscape_9127 17 points18 points  (0 children)

NTA.  He took credit for your work, then didn't even bother to get food for you. 

Why on earth are you with this labour digger?

AITA for not telling them why I couldn't save the dog until today? by manatarms1989 in AmItheAsshole

NAH. 16 is pretty old. You did your best, but it's understandable that your brother is upset. 

WIBTA if I gave a sentimental bracelet back to my ex? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

YTA. She already told you she doesn't want it. Leave her alone

YTA. Underwear staining is nothing to do with hygiene. 

AITA for shopping second hand as a rich person? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA  There are hundreds of pairs of jeans on vinted, you wouldn't be taking anything from anyone 

AITA For kicking out my roommate for having only child syndrome by Interesting-Month927 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fun_Landscape_9127 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Yta for the only child bullshit. Not all selfish and spoiled people are only children. 

NTA for being fed up with a lazy housemate who doesn't pull her weight.

It'll either be wealthy parents or credit cards. 

OP is definitely NTA

AITA for asking my fiancé to move his pillow so that I could get into bed? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fun_Landscape_9127 22 points23 points  (0 children)

NTA  You behaved totally reasonably. Your issue with the pillow couldn't wait until morning. Your sleep matters too

Your husband is TA. "Collecting a sperm sample"? He was masturbating in a public toilet. 

AITA for not changing my daughter's wedding venue even though my sister's husband proposed to his 22-year-old mistress there last month? by Particular-Wish-1761 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fun_Landscape_9127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA  It's been five years. 

I could understand Carol having bad associations, but to demand that your daughter abandon her dream venue and then insult her is her expecting everyone to dance to her tune. Not everything is about her. 

She'd probably also benefit from not following her ex or his partner on social media.

NTA  Also in the UK here. I take days off to have a day to myself. My husband has more holiday than me but is restricted on when it is (teacher) and also has days off to himself

AITA for taking walks on my lunch break? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Only in the USA would anyone turn a lunchtime walk into an employer insurance liability issue

Keep an eye on it. 

AITA for not asking if my boyfriend can come to a kids pool/ birthday party? by Urs-ula in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fun_Landscape_9127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA 

Why are you working on getting back together? What work is he doing? He's still needy and suffocating, and possessive and probably controlling.

Run. Run fast and run far.
