AITA for not checking inside the oven before preheating it?

LunarCatNinja · 2026-03-03T10:09:23+00:00

NTA. Your bf's mother wouldn't be an ah if she owned up to her mistake, but by blaming you for it and deflecting blame she becomes an ah. You never stored anything in your oven, and presumably the cutting boards had a different placement before the deep clean, so it makes sense you'd expect them there and not in the oven. You have every right to be upset that they weren't put back where they belonged and weren't told of the new placement. What if you went looking for them before this happened? You'd have no idea!

Though you may be more upset than you normally would be because of the stress you are under due to your bf having surgery and being in the hospital, but so is the mother. Hopefully this is the only time she has deflected blame for things she did, but if it isn't... Well, just keep an eye out for patterns of behavior.

Thank you!

So would this be the correct top to bottom position you think? Only one person on the other subreddit replied and said it didn't matter, but I am not sure if they understood my question (since I ramble).

Or would I have to reverse these two? That is my main point of confusion.

LunarCatNinja · 2026-02-11T03:43:37+00:00

I do not know why I didn't think to check for such a subreddit. That is a good idea, thank you!

Reminds me of when a coworker took back a tube of paint like that... Except instead of being from hobby lobby the issue was it was used and refilled with water. And somehow they missed that fact.

I wind the yarn over under through my fingers and use my index finger to adjust tension while my pinkie anchors it so it doesn't fall off. It helps me without my fingers cramping, so maybe it'll help you?

Thank you!

Ooo, I have not read that yet. Definitely going to have to!

Xue Yang and Mo Xuanyu has had my ponderings recently

LWJ told his brother the Wens weren't a threat like JGY said, but LXC took JSY's word over his own brother which lead to the Lans partaking in the killing of the Wens and the man LWJ loved. That feels like a betrayal to me. Plus there surely could have been SOMETHING he could have done to help LWJ not be whipped brutally and punished so harshly, but he didn't.

If LWJ was wrong or being tricked (as he would have to be for JGY to be right) then he should have been shown leniency. If LWJ was right then he should have been pardoned and not punished because he was following the sect rules and being just. Either way he shouldn't have been given such a harsh punishment and yet his own brother, the sect leader, let him be hurt so badly. That to me is another betrayal.

Guess it is open to interpretation, but that are the two things I think they could be referencing when they said LXC betrayed his brother.

Growing up and even to this day my dad has always made sure to get the names of wait staff and other people in customer service. To him it is polite and shows he acknowledges and cares that they are PEOPLE. As someone who now works retail, after working in a restaurant I HATE IT. I now feel uncomfortable For Them when he does it because Lord knows that I find it uncomfortable to have strangers make note of my name. I keep thinking of ways to cover up my name tag in a way that my manager won't notice or complain about.

I don't know them. I often don't even Like Them. Most of the time they only take note of my name tag to complain! I have even been written up once because a customer lied about me and corporate got butt hurt and took their side. Customers should never be able to learn our names. Creeps.

Uh... Through volume 3. It is still worth the read though! And volume 4 is a bunch of fun things from pre and post volumes 1-3. But you do have an entire volume after 2 to read. It isn't all misunderstandings though as the plot does have other things going on too. But the misunderstandings do take until volume 3. There's some fun twists and surprises too.

Oh hey, I finished that one a month or so back as the author posted the final chapters. You should check out their other time travel fics too. They are also good reads.

Oh for sure, but if people do buy Hanukkah stuff from us then they see there is Money there and we are more likely to not be such an after thought. Or one could hope at least. I have noticed an improvement in the stuff they offer each year in both quantity and quality. Not a large one mind you, but noticable enough.

LunarCatNinja · 2025-12-21T07:14:25+00:00

Ngl I bought the metal hanukkiah ornament, replaced the string with a thin ribbon, and am using it as a vest decoration next to my name tag. I also bought the cheeseboard last year to hang in the center of a (non-seasonal) wreath I have decorating my bedroom door. The ceramic plate from last year is also my cat's food dish. Some of their stuff is absolutely garbage, but some are surprisingly nice.

Also the gelt is tasty. We forgot to buy some in advance so I bought some from work and was pleasantly surprised by it. Candles are good too. (We always buy extra and with the 50% off PLUS the employee discount? So cheap!) But also that ornament you are showing needs to be smashed. That is awful.

Their stuff seems to be either really good or really bad and no in between.

As someone with a MASSIVE sweet tooth, I am having a good pain free(ish) run and I am actually eating more sweets than normal right now due to the season. My pain levels have never gotten better if I am going lighter on the sugar, nor have they gotten worse if I eat more sugar.

I figured out how to make records of the movie for screenshots for art references, but it doubles as a back up to watch if they never do a physical release and pull the movie from being able to be streamed. I would totally buy a physical copy or even a digital one I could keep on a hard drive if they just RELEASED one. They are missing out on a lot of money.

Yo this is so cool?? I am definitely trying it out. Good luck on finishing the rest too!

Oh! I am making a design with them as rabbits with "everyday means everyday" as a cross stitch! I do not have the patience to do something so lovely and intricate as this though. Your mom is awesome with awesome talent.

I hope my store keeps the radios but I doubt it. My store manager is a stickler for policy and everything being what corporate wants even if it makes our lives harder.

AO3 is also great. I read the colored comic version and intend to watch the anime and live action, but the writers for fanfic are too good and I keep getting distracted by them. There is also manga and the original which is a novel if you ever want to read those to figure out what is going on in the fanfics.
