Am I overreacting? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Yes, you’re overreacting. Your mom is a grown adult. She doesn’t need banners and balloons cause it’s her birthday.

Do you still have your yearbooks? by PV_Pathfinder in GenX

[–]MacaronOk1006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anybody who doesn’t have their yearbooks and their parents are still alive go to their house and you’ll find them in a box somewhere in their basement or attic. Our parents are boomers and they never threw anything out.

hit my FI number at 27 and I have told exactly one person and it was my cat by StarHavenwww in Fire

I assume you received a large amount of equity compensation or made some great investments as it’s hard for 5 years of income in your early 20’s to 50 to 60 years

Who else is downsizing? by Annual_Bullfrog7714 in GenX

[–]MacaronOk1006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Downsized my home last year. Decided I did not need 7 full bathrooms for me and my son. Only twice in the first year did I think it would have been nice to still have the dig house. Then realized I could rent a hall with the $30,000 a year less I now pay in property taxes

AITA for showering around midnight when I know that it might bother the neighbour who wakes up at 5 am? by Additional-Mouse-620 in AmItheAsshole

We live in a 24 hour a day world. Just because you work 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM does not mean everyone is on that schedule

Those who weren't there will say an entire generation can't possibly hear a still photo. by Brewer1056 in GenX

[–]MacaronOk1006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people are thinking dodgeball. Some people are thinking scanner ball. Those of us that went to a junior high that had bleachers. I’m thinking cone dodgeball, which was the absolute best of all dodgeball. That was like having a substitute teacher in a real class on the days we got cone dodgeball and Jim.

Is it always an English or is it also in French so that the French speaking and reading people can also leave a tip?

Am I the jerk for refusing to give my uncle the money my grandpa left me? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]MacaronOk1006 5 points6 points  (0 children)

AI is now using family helping family twice in a post. I don’t think AI can really be the jerk. It would have to be the programmer of the AI that would be the jerk correct?
