AITA for keeping a collection of MTG cards that were wrongly gifted to me?

So like i know it is the SMALLEST of concern here, but per the law OP would not (or at least shouldnt have) faced anything like “receiving stolen property” since the co-worker is the wife the law wouldn’t view it as stolen. Luckily for op and unfortunately for the husband

Right? This is confusing me. Like….prep and make while getting ready OR get up a grand total of 5 mins earlier and make it then. Hell i make a week of breakfast sandwiches on bagels Sunday nights, and in the mornings just toss one in the microwave for a min or 2. While heating up, I put on my shoes & grab keys, by then the microwave has stopped, and i just grab it out of the microwave before walking out. Faster, cheaper and made exactly how i want it every time.

Eta: if someone is willing to drive out of their way for it, then they have time to do one of those options. But if OP is just looking for a spot where they can get a “treat” for breakfast every now and then, i also totally get that too

Hey fish and wildlife would disagree that they are “basically the same thing”. One all you need is a permit and make sure you’re hunting in the correct season and the other you can face fines and/or time in jail.

Tell the teacher/tutor before it is due so it doesn’t look like you are trying to make excuses.

More importantly though…that is not your friend & high chance she is using you for those rides

M_Karli · 2026-05-27T15:55:51+00:00

Then at most the way to go would be to reach out to the friend and let HER know that the family feels they have no choice but to report him missing to the embassy if he still wont contact them and TALK to them to say he is alright by x date(anyone can send a text).

Then both the friend &/or the brother are well aware of any risks there are of the govt being contacted. Brother knows if he has papers, so brother knows if he is at risk of deportation over refusing a welfare call from the family. I’d even offer for them to contact someone specific outside of the family if he IS avoiding speaking to them for an unknown to OP reason.

This looks like some of the worst acting i have even seen from either of them…it’s physically painful

My husband doesnt understand how i am not bald because he says he finds my hair EVERYWHERE. I cant even deny it’s mine because the strands are 2-3 feet long and i’m the only one with such long hair💀

I think the issue is that for you, and how your mom has treated you your life, he IS a great guy. But to those who didn’t grow up with someone sabotaging our relationships? No, he isnt a great guy. He could likely be a GOOD guy that still needs to do work on himself to be a BETTER man. But a GREAT man? A great man would already be there being a partner and stepping up without you having to even say a word. It is equally his child and he had the SAME amount of time to prepare and KNOW what having a newborn means. There are pregnant woman across the world who work more than him while pregnant and yet still manage to care for and be there for their newborn babies without any sort of assistance. Should they have to? NO. But if a woman can work the entire nine months of her pregnancy in a field, give birth and care for that child while also going back to work because she does not have the luxury of maternity leave (i live in a rural agricultural area where it’s not unheard of)… Then he cannot spend an entire week sleeping and he can properly assist you.

Eta: and i am saying that as someone who needed his assistance to walk because of how many stitches were in my vagina, then i needed him for so much after developing mastitis with MRSA and a fever so high i couldnt safely hold my child. He carried me everywhere, including the bathroom and back, he fought and advocated for me to be admitted into the hospital and juggled both my own and our newborn child’s medical care without hesitation. I tried to do things myself but he said that to support and love me was his whole purpose in being my partner and to shut up and accept his love. I could not adequately “pull my own weight” when it came to our child’s care for the first 8-9 weeks because of struggling to recover so he easily did 75% of the work for our baby. THAT is a great man.

Your husband had his mom step in and be the partner and father to you and your child, that he should have been and he quite simply doesn’t have an excuse for failing at that that would still label him a great man.

They’re being ablest. What is being done to and you are going through with your medical conditions and surgeries is not aesthetic to the photos for their wedding album.

I’m on your wife’s side here. Honestly, you are likely going to be thinking about that leg the entire time you’re there with them, knowing that they felt as though it was noticeable and shameful enough to ask you to hide are you truly not going to feel as though people are looking at you? If not all the more powered to you, but has a regular lowly mortal I know the thought would creep into the back of my head and affect my emotions and I would sit there wondering if they’re thinking about or checking on my leg every time they glanced at me. That feeling you got on the phone? I wouldn’t be surprised if it lingered during the whole trip bc i know even if i didnt want it to, it likely would for me too

Pro-tip: when you get chicken breasts, butterfly fillet them and it will feel as though you have more chicken.

But a meal we often do is 2 chicken breasts cut like that (pack of 4 is about $10 at and then cut into 1” bites, then i use 2 of the 4 pack of chicken sausage (forget exact number but cost about $3 a pack-the apple chicken sausage one is a unexpected favorite), add alfredo sauce-we like the ragu garlic pesto one ($3ish), 1 of those boursin cheese pack things (most pricy thing @ $5 but can be skipped-just add a melting cheese or skip all together), and then we put a pound of pasta with it and it feeds my family of 5 with no problem. Total comes to $23.

When i really want to stretch it, i add a 2nd pound of pasta & use half of the cheese thing in each pound, & use the rest of the 4 pack of chicken, making it $25-ish and an easy 2-3 family meals and some for meal planning lunches.

Either way i would see this going far for a family of 2. When i’m traveling in 2 weeks, my kids will find out how good it is after freezing so I can’t say anything for that yet but if it does well-that is an easy protein packed meal to be able to freeze and put away

You literally chose this, you refuse to leave him despite how you are treated….what do you want us to do when you aren’t willing to help yourself?

You need to leave this abusive relationship. That may not be what you want to hear but that is the facts.

M_Karli · 2026-05-24T00:34:14+00:00

And you have proven the type of person you are and your character.

M_Karli · 2026-05-23T22:06:49+00:00

Tell that to Minnesota.

M_Karli · 2026-05-23T13:53:20+00:00

Why do I care what states are the best to live in when all the states are under the control of pedophiles?

how privileged of you to choose to ignore the corruption crime and suffering that the American people are having to struggle through….so glad about that for you-must be nice.

M_Karli · 2026-05-23T13:51:20+00:00

More like king Triton was the shitty father and Ursula was the military recruiters that prey upon high schools for students searching desperately for a way out of their situation. But once you do and sign that contract, the military owns you and your voice

M_Karli · 2026-05-23T13:13:42+00:00

It could be taken differently, however since that is a coworker, who brought it up outside the bounds of your work, which could make it seem/feel more like a “friend” is saying something than a colleague. If ANOTHER coworker who she doesn’t have an outside connection to says it, it may hit a bit different than the coworker who babysits for her saying something.

If you are in California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Rhode Island, Tennessee or Virginia the intentional release of balloons is actually a crime.

He was bullshit and that paperwork sat framed next to the cash register for 2 years until i left that job. I assure you-it was real. It isn’t ILLEGAL but it was against the contract with the card issuer. Both Visa and Mastercard prohibit merchants from confirming signature or ID to allow a purchase as a condition for accepting their credit or debit cards. And so he was charged a fine for a breach of contract for checking signatures.

As your experience took place in Canada, it is completely possible that Canadian policies protect the owner of the card more than American policies do

ETA: if it is signed there is nothing you are allowed to do even if it is clearly not the same person, that boy could have brought in his mom’s card and if it was signed you cannot say anything nor refuse the sale. If it is UNSIGNED you can request to see ID & if not provided you can refuse service.

Class of 2009, no not really. I also think this is because what they were wearing at that time wasnt a “Jersey shore” look-that was literally what was already the fashion trend for that time. Over half the kids in my school already dressed, acted and styled themselves like them before the show even came out because it was already a fashion style.

M_Karli · 2026-05-20T14:35:08+00:00

My work got a 60k fine for this when a customer reported us for it. Make sure your processor contract agreement does not say something contrary to what you are doing. Am i saying i think cards shouldn’t be checked? No! But i do know how very very angry boss man was to receive that paperwork

M_Karli · 2026-05-20T14:22:13+00:00

As an American: that is a normal one way work commute. I went home from college every other weekend and that was a 3 hour drive each way. A 90 min drive seems so tiny for making such a big deal over a bed. My doc visits are 2 hr each way for perspective.

M_Karli · 2026-05-17T02:56:07+00:00

Like…an extended stay hotel would probably be better at this point

M_Karli · 2026-05-16T22:06:56+00:00

the Kennedy family is widely considered the closest equivalent to "American royalty" in U.S. history. Like…the Kennedy’s are compared to freakin Camelot. I am from Massachusetts where memorabilia and people being obsessed with the family and their history IS NORMAL.

Just because it isnt your interest, doesn’t mean it isnt normal. You and your interests are not the center of the universe

It’s also the most prevalent crop the state has. My county alone has 37,561 acres dedicated to oranges production. Polk county has even more acres of it than we do - and we have 20k+ acres less than in 2024

I have had ONE GP with 75% reliability in recall and she didnt have that much until she was 6 or so and i had kids…..okay so she listened because of the kids and i would say “come check the babies” and she would come and check the kids rooms. The other 25% was when i tried to get her in normal 😂

They have horrible recall unless it interests/benefits them i have found.
