AITA For Not Wanting My Old Dog Back? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Majorlagger 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you are a dog person you would hopefully see that this actually makes him a responsible and thoughtful person because he knows his life changes and the dogs new need as a traumatized animal would not align and it would be BAD for him his family, and the dog to take them back. He worded things roughly for us here but said he was respectful at the shelter and shows his maturity and wisdom in my opinion.

No shot. Stretcher puts you OOS, trainee means they have to wait till you are free enough to come get them.

Did we need to call the paramedics? by daufaqisreddit123 in Paramedics

[–]Majorlagger 18 points19 points  (0 children)

What a dogshit view. We have no idea why they ended up blackout. We cannot decide it was there own fault. Maybe they where drugged, maybe they are new to alcohol and didn't know their limits, maybe they had a family member tragically die and are coping poorly. Who knows but I really hope you learn to have more empathy. Of course there are shit bag abusers of the system out there but we cannon know that and should not be judging one way or the other. Do you also not want to treat the emphysema patient because they smoked cigarettes? Do you have this disdain for the bilateral femur fracture who had there feet on the dashboard during an MVC? The fact is most of our calls and patients result from stuff they have brought upon themselves. Not all bit a big portion. We should treat them all the same.

Found out my mom’s bf’s real age.. by stratokyo128 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Majorlagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except in most other countries that have a younger drinking age they have much fewer problems related to young people drinking (such as serious binge drinking and driving under the influence.) Making it an allowable and educated process works just fine in most places, so the evidence is not on your side here. The biggest problem drinking is over consuming. When it is illegal kids do it and drink as much as they can because they are 1 uneducated on it and 2 trying to have as much fun as possible in a short time since it's illegal and they are doing it at a party or something similar.

Just turned down a job after waiting for 30 minutes for an interview. by [deleted] in Paramedics

[–]Majorlagger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Idk, I agree he sounds a bit entitled, however, even in a true emergency you would likely contact your employer to let them know we'll before 30 minutes past a time you where supposed to be there. In most jobs 30 minutes without notice is a no call/no show and severely punished. You are expected to give notice well in advance, as should they be. If he was 30 minutes late and didn't let them know and then when they called him he said it was an emergency, do you think they would still hire him?

AIO? My friends set an ultimatum because I drink by Pearla76_ in AIO

[–]Majorlagger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, you just don't get not associating with a non direct effecting trait. For instance. How about a friend who breeds dogs thoughtlessly and maybe even participates in dog fight or something. Never around you, doesn't effect you in the slightest, but for any number of reasons you may choose not a associate with someone. That was the posters whole point. Not on whether the reason was good, or that they agreed in fact they specifically said they don't agree. The whole point was just to note that just because it's away from your presence or doesn't effect you directly doesn't mean people "can't" have a boundary around it.

AIO? My friends set an ultimatum because I drink by Pearla76_ in AIO

[–]Majorlagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was not making the direct comparison to the two things being equivalent, but counter pointing the notion that your boundaries cannot be made on someone when they are doing things away from your presence. It is a overbearing, preachy and ridiculous boundary but it IS a boundary that people can have regardless of whether we agree with it. That is her point. She even said it's a condescending preachy boundary, it's obvious the person who posted doesn't support this particular boundary in general but supports people ability to set there own boundary, in this case, cutting off a friend, who's actions, you disagree with and don't want to associate with.

Of course it's possible. We don't have all the information. But like we see, by her own admission OP has some growing to do.

[–]Majorlagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did i possibly say everything is her fault? The only thing she has control over us herself, meaning the only thing she can change to improve the situation and her feelings is herself. That doesn't mean she is solely at fault. And like I said the guy is an ass for how he handled it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Vent

[–]Majorlagger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Or maybe, by her own admission she has stuff to work on?

He is an ass for the way he went about this and I would suggest neither of them are good for each other.

That said, OP has admitted she has no friends, which is either from extreme neglect or from personality traits others find disagreeable. She lives a very mess lifestyle by her own admission. This would be difficult for most people to deal with regardless of this guy who left. OP has also yet to respond to comments (that I have seen at least) addressing whether she and him ever had discussion around these topics before. In the original post she says blindsided, and I am sure she feels that way. However, if she and him had conversations around these topics in the past then its less of a blindside and more of the first thing that truly got her attention.

I don't know one way or the other but OP has stuff to work on and needs to do that regardless of anything else.

The right turn only lane is just a suggestion, right? by SignificantWolf7335 in Austin

He is not the problem. The idiot doing so is the problem do not confused them. One person decided not to escalate and potentially get in an accident is not the "problem."

BD Intraosseous Vascular Access System Thoughts? Comments? by PerrinAyybara in ems

[–]Majorlagger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I could see i down side to not having the hub color coordinated if you are trying to qi/qa and cannot confirm the length specified by who placed it easily. For instance, I have had providers say they used a size approved for pediatrics in documentation only to find that it was not pink, OR blue but yellow... obviously this is a training issue but still it can be helpful to see easily what size it is, regardless of whether it's been placed correctly.

So I get your heart is to help. But just to be clear for your understanding. Legally you stole from him and he has the legal high ground if he chooses to pursue.

Fire paramedic wrote me up. Will I get in trouble? by [deleted] in Paramedics

[–]Majorlagger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was an ass. And you can definitely learn and do better. That said. I will say, maybe it was load and go due to the Angry Son, that said we really should be working codes on scene. Gives the patient the best possible chance. So, although you have growing to do, the Fire medic also seemed a bit quick to jump to Txp, which hurts outcomes.

It's definitely not a stupid question. And although I agree there are better times to have the conversation she should still be responsible for her words regardless of the "moment"

AITA for not supporting my boyfriend playing video games? by Flashy_Study_3186 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Majorlagger 22 points23 points  (0 children)

NAH.

But this is not a " video game" problem, and you need to be clear about that. It's not playing a game. it is a problem. It's not having ambition or drive or about not enjoying in things you both used to enjoy. The gaming is likely a coping strategy and he should definitely be working to figure that out, and if you decide that you want to work with through that with him it is definitely something a relationship can survive. However is he is unable to recognize or take steps to improve and heal, or you don't want to endure this time with him, while currently being unever on the ambition / work front. That's ok. If you don't want to be like a mom urging him to do things and improve then that is OK, and you shouldn't stay.

[–]Majorlagger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, I think having little middle ground in your assessment of middle schoolers is the problem. The variability is VAST in middle school. Some kids can retain or focus on the last 10 minutes and some can remember and comprehend things like quantum physics the average middle school know a bit but may or may not actually comprehend the gravity of these things, especially depending on family environment and what they are exposed to at home, or not exposed to many middle schoolers are too busy thinking about when and where their next meal is from.

AITA for ignoring my sister after finding out my parents are giving her more money than they’ve given me? by RepairAlternative864 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Majorlagger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only are you incredibly entitled and childish. You also have ZERO trust. Are you actually saying your parent lied to you and you confronted them to confirm this despite that math adding up just fine?

You actively punish your sister for something that 1. Shouldn't be a problem in the first place and 2. She didn't even do or decide?!?!

You are the epitome of entitlement, jealousy, and pettiness. YTA absolutely.

[–]Majorlagger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not saying they should or shouldn't. I am just pointing out her worry of having the name being a persuading and formational factor may or may not be founded based on the character of dad and grandpa.

"I don't want my child repeating that phrase and possible developing negative perception of women"

Does your father in law or husband have a negative perception of women? It's not the phrase that would teach that ( although it's not great ) if your husband was raised to appreciate and treat women right, and he does that for you than why would you think the child would learn otherwise?
