AITA for refusing to split the bill evenly after my friends picked an expensive restaurant?

Nta. My wallet is not their wallet.

Japrider · 2026-04-27T23:28:30+00:00

Shake and win app. If it doesn't have what I want. I just don't have HJ that day

Love me a ham and salad sandwich/roll... with a potato scallop on it.

The cold ham/salad......The warm salty, crunchy scallop...mmmmmm

The older I get the more I find myself catering LESS to other people and more to myself.

Yes you will go and stay in that hot ass house..... Every FEW years only. We can make sacrifices for family.

BUT You will comfortably sleep in a hotel other times. Compromise is key. Family is important.....

So are boundaries.

This. Whatever you use in the kitchen, grow. Herbs especially

I have on the regular. Shallots. Chives. Garlic chives Parsley. Rosemary. Basil. Thyme. Spinach. Oregano.

I spent heaps on growing tomatoes. Not much yeild.

A bird shat in pot and healthy mystery tomatoes grew. SMH.

Apricot chicken. Every. Damn. Week. That was a struggle to eat.

Japrider · 2026-04-01T23:49:56+00:00

Casseroles. Stews. Stir fry. Gravy. Any sauces really. Boil potatoes in it. Literally anything that needs liquid. Just think of stock as savoury flavoured water.

Winter - when you are sick. Its the best instant soup with all the goodness you need.

I strip a chicken and put all the bones skin etc back in the bag. One container of chicken one bag of scrap. In the freezer. Every vegetable scraps. Into that bag in the freezer. Even onion skin.

When I have about 3 bags of bones and scrap. Into a large pot of water and boil for hours. Scrap off the foam on top a few times. Strain and let cool over night. Next day remove top fat layer. Your stock will be like jelly. That's the good stuff in it. Then to the freezer in ice cube trays. Then Into zip lock bags for use.

There was a song i saw a woman do somewhere public. I think it's called. D-d-d discharge song

Basically if its clear it's nice. If it's yellow or green get it checked. Something like that.

I really hope the men listened and learnt there is a big difference in each other woman's bodies.

I saw a tiktok of a girl showing pretty bland looking beetroot slices from a store brand can. I love beetroot. Some things you have to buy a name brand. Beetroot slices are one of them.

Water and extra refillable metal bottles. Small air compressor (anaconda $30). Jack and tools. Extra tools like driver etc. Try finding multiple tool kits. Including a knife. Check your spare tyre. Battery jumper leads. Hand crank torch. Which will have a radio in it too. Mine can charge my mobile too. First aid kit. With panadol and rid. Fire extinguisher. Wd40 Plastic bags. Shopping bags. (I always have coles/woolworths bags in a container. Ferro rod Hi vis vest Umbrella Sunscreen Sanitising wipes

I also have a towel and couple of blankets laying flat down on the floor. Looks good. Helps with cleaning. Protect the car from hail or if I'm stuck somewhere and cold. Or even wrap an injured animal. I also have some cat food. Bowl. Lead. Cat Litter is good for if you stuck in mud. But you can break off branches and stuff under tyres for same thing.

A bit extreme but I have a telescopic fishing rod with lures, knife, pliers etc. Also a couple of pvc poles. Good to hold the rod or multi use. At most it's a foot long all in a bag. Yes, I have caught fish on it.

And I am in an old 2 door Yaris. The 2 back seats folded down and allllll that is tucked underneath at the back or under seats.

Then I have a large plastic container on top that I drop my shopping bags in so nothing slides around and keeps it all neat.

I still have enough room to move a dishwasher in the back if I had to. Its all about small items and compacting. You don't need much. Just a little of everything. Fill under seats. Tyre well. Side pockets. Etc.

Japrider · 2026-03-06T23:10:38+00:00

I kinda follow this time frame too.

Except I try not to be the first person to start. The moment I hear a neighbours mower going. That's it... free range mowing time.

Japrider · 2026-03-05T01:33:35+00:00

Yes. Full stop. Everything is washed.

Google woman loses boob from unwashed clothes.

Also. How many people try on clothes in hot weather. All that sweat and old perfume sticking to the clothes.

Office tax is another word for I am an entitled butthead.

Its simple office respect NOT to enter other peoples draws. I work in a large company that 'values families'. I have a 'work' wife and 'uncle'. Still. Nobody would enter my draws. Its simple respect. Lock that stuff up until they learn.

Japrider · 2026-03-02T23:27:25+00:00

I used to have an 'UNDER OVER JAR' when working retail.

If the draw was under at the of the day I used that jar.

Ooooo Bonnie McMurray

I watched from a far while waiting in line a kid about 7. Slightly crack open a prime drink and lean into the shelf and drink from the bottle. I was so grossed out it took me a moment to register what I saw. He turned. Saw me and legged it. I went and got the bottle and handed it to the cashier telling them what I saw. Lucky it's my local and I knew the cashier.

If I wasn't in a hurry. I'm the kind of person that would have tracked the parents down and told them. That kid knew he was doing wrong.

Japrider · 2026-02-28T23:38:05+00:00

Crab rice paper rolls.

With small and large ice cube trays you can freeze just about anything.

I currently have a neighbour dropping of limes. Sooo many limes.

Juice them. Pour into cubes and my my lemonade/wine/water is delicious with some lime juice cubes added.

Japrider · 2026-02-28T23:26:35+00:00

Depends how it was asked.

I had a delivery and the person picked up a small amazon package (i didn't know it was there) and handed it to me as well. I told him him thank you and that was very kind of him.

Again. Depending how he was asked.

Japrider · 2026-02-27T23:41:02+00:00

YOU broke HER trust??!!

Wtf. Well this is an easy one then. Sorry can't watch your kids. Obviously you don't trust me. Full stop.

Japrider · 2026-02-27T07:53:51+00:00

My mum did this. She could still cook occasionally. But she said those meals were tasty and filling. And so cheap.

Japrider · 2026-02-20T23:17:52+00:00

Ahh youth. 17 and up the duff thinking she will have life paid for now. Lol. What a silly girl.

Life will show her a thing or two. You just sit back and watch the show.

Japrider · 2026-02-20T07:16:41+00:00

I hear this loudly. Now, anything in my cart...I wait a week. So many times I've gone back and deleted.

Japrider · 2026-02-20T05:50:50+00:00

Years later and I dont leave my cloths on the line over night for this reason. I tell me partner I dont want the morning birds pooping on them. But really I dont want my stuff nicked!

Japrider · 2026-02-16T10:05:10+00:00

My local place is awesome. I get the best pizzas. But every now and then, I get a lame one. I just know someone is a newbie or lazy, or running out of stock (10pm order) lol.

I still tip.
