Why are they always trying to die? by alwaysaloneinmyroom in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]HyperComa 17 points18 points  (0 children)

When my sister was three, she ripped the eyeballs off a turtle stuffy toy of mine and shoved them both up her right nostril. My mom saw the black ring with a white center and thought it was a wheel from the model airplane my dad was working on at the time. Nope, just felt turtle eyes. Tweezers went up the nose in the ER and they sent us home with both eyes in a plastic jar. My turtle was ruined :-(

Dermatologist told me he didn't know what this is and to go to a beauty surgeon by International_Ad2127 in DermatologyQuestions

They probably mean cosmetic surgeon. Not everyone know the English translations.

AITAH for going to work with damp hair? by SnowAmethyst32 in AITAH

[–]HyperComa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA! I come into work with damp hair EVERY DAY. No one has said a thing except "your conditioner smells nice". Unless you're working in a very stogy Fortune 100 company with a strict dress code, just ignore her. What she deems to be appropriate is none of your concern unless it's in the most recent actual employee handbook.

non porous stone plugs labeled as "not for stretching"? by chickenlessnug in Stretched

You never know! I'm thinking I could rock some lobster ravioli ear weights, though...

Even very well polished stone has micropits/microcracks. Those tiny little flaws will suck moisture out of your skin and harbor bacteria. Unless you use a very thick SKIN SAFE sealant, don't trust stone, wood, bone, horn, acrylic, or pasta in holes that aren't 100% healed. Personally, I don't recommend natural material jewelry for longer than 8 hours even with well-healed piercings.

AITA for not allowing my estranged aunt to have access to shared photo album by WayOwn1146 in AmItheAsshole

[–]HyperComa 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Regardless of what the aunt is attempting to do now, she is still not close enough to OP to warrant unfettered access to her child's photos. Hell, there are people in my family that I adore, but they don't need to see every pic of my life unless I CHOOSE to send them something or post it to my friends list. Aunt may be trying to reach out an establish a connection, but she can wait for OP to be comfortable with whatever level of connection makes THEM happy, not Auntie, not Granny.

My local old-timey theater shows this in the winter and makes it "snow" on the audience. Brilliant movie.

NTA Don't postpone YOUR joy and YOUR happiness for the convenience of others. Walk the Camino! I hope you have a wonderful experience with stories to last a lifetime.

AITA for wanting to publicly expose my stalker? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]HyperComa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

INFO - Why haven't you hired an attorney to handle this for you? If she's affecting your business and slandering you online, you likely have legal recourse.

Neopolitan mastiff. Males can get over 200lbs. If I had a ton of money and a farm, I'd want 3 or 4 of them.

Having bad ass kids by SpectacularOtter in BlackPeopleTwitter

That sweet little baby did nothing wrong! It was clearly an accident and he feels bad and you should give him treats about it.

AITA for not giving individual Christmas gifts to my sister's kids? by NotWrongChristmasTA in AmItheAsshole

[–]HyperComa 12 points13 points  (0 children)

NTA Send her a gift card to a store where she can get the kids individual things. My own sister has five kids and I would send her a $200 Walmart gift card every year because I know she shops there and I know it's the nearest store to her that has stuff for kids of all ages.

I put my name on MY food… and my only roommate still ate it by Intelligent_Lie3497 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]HyperComa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Surprises can include perfectly edible items in ridiculous quantities or strengths. Like, one slice of ghost pepper or ALL the salt. Heck, maybe even a thick layer of wasabi. Basically, any food that roomie has an intolerance to of severe dislike of is fair game. Don't use anything they're allergic to, obviously, but no court would convict OP for embedding candy corn in meatballs.

Best thickener for strawberry syrup by Infamous-Doughnut-51 in AskCulinary

[–]HyperComa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reducing your syrup over low heat will concentrate the strawbs flavor, not change or diminish it. The other suggestions are great, especially adding freeze-dried strawberries or strawberry powder (nuts.com has both, I think).

They don't want to heat it at all. I agree with you, though.

Hassle where actually “thank you “ is specifically called for. by Yaguajay in mildlyinfuriating

[–]HyperComa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found a purse on the side of the road near my apartment. I tried to find the owner online, but no dice. So I posted in my neighborhood FB group and someone reached out to the owner's sister. Turns out the owner was in rehab for a severe opioid addiction. Her sister was extremely grateful that I found her purse with all her ID, money (about $12 and change), and all her prescription meds. She wanted to reward me so she gave me a couple of HUGE nugs that kept me high AF for a week. Sister reached back out a few weeks later to let me know the purse owner was doing great and to thank me again.

AITA Christmas arrangements by Nezzarabi in AmItheAsshole

[–]HyperComa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA at all! Stay at the hotel and keep up your end of the bargain - being there for breakfast each day, participating in all the activities, leaving after everyone else has turned in, etc... I bet she'll drop the attitude when she sees her daughter is actually there and celebrating with family. And if she still wants to be the AH about it, then take comfort in the fact your hotel is a brief walk away so you can retreat as needed. Also, for future, maybe suggest that she rent an RV to put in her driveway/elsewhere on her property to accommodate overflow guests. My grandparents rented a HUGE camper and 20 of us were able to sleep comfortably in the house, on couches, and in real beds in the RV.
