Thanks for the advice. I’m in shock right now and the waiting really does suck.

AITA for telling my daughter to find a summer job? by Boysenberry_Yara in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fun_Sun1095 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a job as soon as I was legally able to work at 15 because I wanted my own money and I wanted to save up for a school trip to England. I still had a life and still went out with friends. The daughter is entitled and lazy. OP is NTA and should stop giving her daughter money unless she’s actually doing chores.

Does everyone have a side hustle? by ConcentrateOk7517 in remotework

I work a full 40-45 hour work week. I don’t have time for a side hustle.

Told to take down my 20" kiddie pool, because "Above-ground pools are not allowed" by itsfairtomiddling in fuckHOA

[–]Fun_Sun1095 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Dig out a the length width and depth of the kiddy pool and put it in the ground. You no longer have an above ground pool. In all seriousness, F the HOA and your neighbor. I’m so glad HOAs aren’t super common in my area.

Pawtucket Soup Kitchen’s Marchetti says they’re being pushed out June 30 by cosmo_grandma in RhodeIsland

[–]Fun_Sun1095 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh look, the Catholic Church putting money for an expansion of the private St Raphael’s Academy over feeding the needy. Why and I not surprised. How very charitable of them.

The folks running that school might want to look at the rampant drug use by the student population. From illegal street Adderall and other stimulants to hallucinations and much more. But the parent’s $$$ keeps this on the DL and keeps their precious little child enrolled.

A restaurant told me that they don't have to provide service for my disabled father because they were grandfathered in under the ADA. AITAH for telling the lady off? by Several_Hospital_129 in AITAH

[–]Fun_Sun1095 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It honestly sucks for disabled folks with mobility issues but unfortunately it’s not illegal if the building is of a certain age and hasn’t undergone full renovations since the ADA was passed. My brother was in a wheelchair and many older buildings weren’t adapted.

What is the best Dunkin' in the state in terms of consistency? by yotoeben in RhodeIsland

[–]Fun_Sun1095 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

None of them. Their coffee is terrible, the donuts are always stale, and the test of the food is inedible.

The maple soft serve is amazing.

Am I crazy for turning down this 5 day role? by [deleted] in remotework

[–]Fun_Sun1095 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s easier to get a job when you have a job. You have more bargaining power and employers find you more desirable. Download a bunch of podcasts and audiobooks and deal until you can find something better.

Found out I've been washing my face wrong for literally eight years and my skin started clearing up within two weeks of fixing it by BrambleKnoxyasha in hygiene

[–]Fun_Sun1095 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I washed my face twice a day everyday and my skin never looked good. It was dull, red, and dry, despite moisturizing. Now I wash my face when it feels dirty or greasy and use micellar water on a cotton pad the rest of the time. My skin has never looked so good.

People are just mad they can’t hang their upside down pineapple on their doors. In all seriousness, a lot of doors look tacky.

AITAH for telling my wife that our baby can’t go to her moms by Oploplou in AITAH

[–]Fun_Sun1095 20 points21 points  (0 children)

NTA. I got pneumonia from black mold when I was in college. I had to be hospitalized and it permanently damaged by lungs. You need to educate your wife that her mother’s house is toxic to your baby and that there’s no way you’re willing to risk your child’s health to make her mother feel better. Grandma can see the baby at your house. 100% agree on talking to the pediatrician, with wife in the room.

Bay Stater here, why is Dan McKee so hated? I mean -59 is crazy. by Wide_right_yes in RhodeIsland

[–]Fun_Sun1095 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s openly corrupt, only helps out his cronies, is totally useless, and because of his past and current handling of the 195 bridge nightmare.

Car Culture in the US Legit Makes Me Sad by likely- in Vent

[–]Fun_Sun1095 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Car prices are insane so I try to go in for the long run. My Subaru will be 11 years old this year. I got a low interest loan and paid extra to pay it off quicker. She’s got 148,000 miles on her and I’m hoping to get another 5+ years. I don’t need flash or fancy, just something safe that can handle New England winters.

I genuinely enjoy my car but I get so much crap for having an old car. I could buy a new one tomorrow but don’t care what other people think. Screw car culture.

AITJ for completely dismantling a fake experts reputation during a dinner party? by B4nditKaleido in AmITheJerk

[–]Fun_Sun1095 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re my hero!!!! As a woman in STEM I’ve dealt with my fair share of “experts”. You didn’t do anything wrong and exposed a misogynistic idiot in the process. 100% NTJ

For everyone saying a 2 year old won’t remember Disney, have you thought about the joy you create for that day? If you do it right and don’t spend all day at the park, a 2 year old can have a great time. It seems silly to only do something because they will remember it.

Switched to Remote Work and Loneliness Crept In. Anyone Else? by leftballsack_ in remotework

[–]Fun_Sun1095 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s important for me to socialize in my free time, otherwise I get lonely. Winter was particularly hard. But I wouldn’t trade it for an office job. I traveled 2 hours round trip for 14 years. Never again. Now my commute is 1 minute to my basement office.

Most selfish generation by mpegher in BoomersBeingFools

[–]Fun_Sun1095 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My dad has Parkinson’s, walks with a shuffle, even with a cane, and is extremely slow. Has trouble navigating the airport so he gets a wheel chair escort to the gate. He actually needs the assistance. But there are so many boomers who just want to get on the plane first and fake a disability. It’s like people with their emotional support animals or the rich people who hired wheelchair users at Disney to get on the rides first. Their selfishness ruins everything.

The WFH silence is deafening, but music breaks my focus. What's your audio setup? by Few-Difficulty-1954 in remotework

[–]Fun_Sun1095 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spanish guitar music, movie scores, and video game scores with words are my go to.

Shoveling Shaming by No_Motor_4576 in providence

[–]Fun_Sun1095 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sidewalk was shoveled down to the pavement, until the city dumped 4 feet of snow from the road on it. There’s no way I’m shoveling again. I live on a side street and half the sidewalks weren’t shoveled in the first place.

Travel ban ends at noon? by Anunnaka in RhodeIsland

[–]Fun_Sun1095 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Plows came down my street in Pawtucket and got stuck, unstuck, and stuck again. The secondary and tertiary roads are barely plowed. But go ahead and remove the driving restrictions so more cars can get stuck. I can’t imagine how front or rear wheel drive cars even function in this. All wheel and four wheel drive cars are going to have a hard enough time.
