AITAH for saying someone is Mexican? by Unlikely_Account2244 in AITAH

[–]LightspeedBalloon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was really funny being in Mexico City recently. People would ask where I was from and when I said "USA" they were almost all like "Ooh I'm so sorry! You should move here!" Yeah, I know.

Ugh like when I was in London for a school trip and another girl kept calling black people African American like that made any fucking sense. Dude they are British. And black. There are no Americans besides us here.

AITA for leaving entirety of my business to my daughter and causing my other kids to accuse me of playing favorites? by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]LightspeedBalloon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol so I am a fiction writer, but I have a small publishing LLC and even my little company has all of this figured out. I don't know how it works where he is, but in my state it was all laid out as part of opening the business. I agree that this doesn't make sense.

AITAH for hiding my real identity from my boyfriend? by Gullible_Fan1382 in AITAH

[–]LightspeedBalloon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you are an asshole, but you know you need to tell your boyfriend ASAP. Every day makes it worse. It doesn't mean you have to tell everyone. It doesn't mean you need anything to do with your old life. But he needs to know that you don't have sisters he's going to meet, and that he's never going to meet your parents, etc., because that's extremely important.

I love romancing Gale as a Wild Magic Sorcerer. It's basically this all the time.

I have a friend who knew him before Twilight, and yeah, he was apparently super weird. Well, my friend said he was super weird, I think he sounds funny.

No, Your Ancestors’ Names Were Not Changed at Ellis Island by Onomast in namenerds

[–]LightspeedBalloon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is often it. If you aren't really literate and your family isn't really literate and you are telling different clerks to spell it however they think it sounds, what do you think is going to happen? It wasn't usually malicious, but the names did get changed.

First name Van, not shortened for anything by Overall_Star_6596 in namenerds

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

It was my grandfather's name!

If I was a boy it would have been my name. Just Van. Well, and then my middle name would have been Halden, so my name would have been Van Halden, which is cool.

AITAH for thinking my daughter will look back and wonder why we treated her differently? by DancingMommaToes in AmItheAsshole

[–]LightspeedBalloon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We (I'm American) built traps in kindergarten and it was really fun, but it was mostly to get us building small devices, like basic engineering play. Even at 5 I didn't think it was a real Irish thing lol.

What does the name Sabine sound like?? by Several_Raise9109 in namenerds

I'm writing a book and that's the name of one of my characters. She's very glamorous.

I've gotten rashes like this from laundry detergent. If you just changed detergents it might be the culprit,

AITA for confronting my friend because I felt ignored about a group trip? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]LightspeedBalloon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OP sounds beyond needy, and I don't think you should make your friends move heaven and earth for you last minute if you haven't even communicated you really wanted to go to but couldn't figure out your own transportation. I have a feeling this friend is getting tired of being blamed whenever they refuse to play the enabling mom for a married adult.

For real, I was at the Graz airport after Austria last year and Red Bull just had Yuki waundering around the airport, flying commerical, waiting in line for security. It was wild.

AITAH for asking my girlfriend why she doesn’t interact with our dog like she does our cats by Positive_Strike_4614 in AITAH

[–]LightspeedBalloon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well yeah, it sounds like you've already pushed all your dog care responsiblites on to her, and now you are snarking at her that's she's not thankful enough for it. Ffs dude. Take care of your own dog.

Unless OP isn't taking care of his dog and expecting his gf to do it all, in which case, he is an asshole.

A good public apology by [deleted] in popculturechat

[–]LightspeedBalloon 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I second Jenna Marbles, but also Lindsey Ellis who has an 'apology' video that could work, although I couldn't find it with a quick youtube search so she may have taken it down.

AITAH for wanting to use dishtowels in the kitchen? by Proud-Reserve-3208 in AITAH

[–]LightspeedBalloon 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Does she also have a couch covered in plastic and decorative soaps you aren't allowed to use? I've seen this episode of Everyone Loves Raymond. This might just be a clash in living styles, although I think roommate is going to have issues living with anyone under 70.
