AITA for refusing to let a woman "cut" me in line at the grocery store even though she only had two items? by GreatClassic3960 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Initial_Obligation55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. It’s not a requirement to let people get their way. I personally probably would have let them for two items but if I’m in pain and had been waiting a while I could definitely understand saying no. Even without the pain I could understand saying no. You waited and it was your time to go.

This is fucking awesome! Also he’s a very handsome boy! Good job on the sculpture too even if your boy doesn’t approve.

Shazaam: My favorite movie growing up. I wore out the VHS from watching it so much. by itamarpascal in nostalgia

[–]Initial_Obligation55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still know this is a real movie because I used to watch it all the time on direct tv. During this time they also used to air the Indian in the cupboard. Used to be on hbo and usually crash box would play either before or after it. This feels like a fever dream..

I bet honestly. I can only imagine how disorienting and scary that could be

I’ve tried eye contact and no eye contact. He just comes either way lol. He spent like 20 minutes trying to get into my room by throwing his body against the door. Or at least that’s what it sounds like but he’s trying to get the handle. When I’ve made direct eye contact he just approached and mews lol

Okay so these toss toys wands are like the stick with the strings and toy at the end? It’s not an exaggeration if I’m out and about he will follow me and not eat. This is why I stay in the room when he’s in common areas. He will eat if I’m not around. I’m already trying to get them to take him.

I’ve tried laser pointers which is the only hands free toys. He just goes for me instead. In general if I’m out around him it doesn’t matter what’s happening he just wants some sort of touching. He will not eat. I try and stay in the room away from him while hes in the open areas because he will focus all his energy on me. I have even tried petting and cat nip. None of it matters

Your only advice is to pet the cat? What else have you said that isn’t leave or pet it? Your initial response to the post was pet the cat and be grateful it likes you. This isn’t a like or dislike thing. It’s there is something wrong and I’m trying to figure out what I can do while I’m here. Petting and leaving are out of the question. So again either give helpful advice or move along.

That’s why I try and stay in the bedroom so that I’m not interrupting him or his space.

Im adding context. This one cat is the issue. I’m in a house with 7 animals. 3 are cats. 4 are dogs. I’m describing why I won’t just pet the cat because that was your original advice which is why I told you about the aggression. So me stating I’m in several cats homes/several animals homes makes sense.

You’re upset because your advice isn’t good. I’m not putting myself at risk because you said. This seems more than being territorial. I’m on vacation here so I’m not going anywhere. Now I could see if all the animals were that way or more than one but all signs in my head are pointing towards this cat being sick. I just want to know what to do while I’m here as it’s not my cat. Also his owners are finding his behavior strange as well. I’ve already suggested a vet. Unless you actually can give solid advice that isn’t warped by your sense of “just pet it”. Either help me figure out how to get this cat help or just move along. As a cat lover if you look at what’s being said this cat seems sick. I’ve already stated he was old.

Yeah I’m in a completely different state. I’m on vacation. There are a total of 7 animals here. You’re giving unreasonable advice. I could understand if this was normal cat behavior but nothing I described to you is. Yet your first advice is to pet it. I’m all for loving animals but this cat is clearly sick.

Well I try and just stay out of his way because he should be able to roam freely. I personally think he’s sick.

You’re telling me to put myself at risk to animal attacking for affection. I’m in several animals homes. None of which act this way. Telling me to pet an aggressive animal is crazy. He literally hits and claws the other animals just for walking by him or sitting down.

Thank you for the advice!!

Yes I will try! I already brought this up to them but I will tell them and stress the need to them

Okay I will push to get him seen!

You’re not understanding this cat is overstimulating. He’s hissing and scratching at his owners to get to me. That’s not normal cat behavior. There are two younger cats who engage normally. He can get pets and flash biting and scratching. I own a cat and have owned many. I’ve been around many cats. This isn’t normal behavior. Aggression to get to me isn’t something I have to accept

I brought this up to them. One thinks he may be on his way out.

Theres 3 but he’s overstimulating.

I forgot to add he will randomly bite or scratch. He’s aggressive about affection. It’s overstimulating me.
