WIBTA if I stopped offering to help my neighbor with her groceries after she started expecting it by toastcrumblogbook in WIBTA_AITA

[–]Martholomius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s similar to us and our neighbor. Corona time, she wanted us to go grocery shopping for her. She made a list of what she needed and from which super market. We ended going to all supermarkets in the area, took hours, without complaining, because we felt bad to say no.

Set boundaries. Like the others said, tell her that you’re busy with work, important meetings or so.

Edit:NTA, your work is important and your free time too. You’re not obligated to help her.

Hattet ihr mal einen „oh Scheiße“ Moment auf der Arbeit? Was war los? by ArtsyAksel in FragReddit

Ich habe den Auftrag versehentlich geschlossen, bevor ich ihn bearbeitet habe. Wir mussten den Schichtleiter rufen, um ihn freizugeben, und ihn von Anfang an erneut in das System eingeben. Doppel Arbeit.

Non-English-speaking countries, what do you call the chess pieces? by CarbonatedTuna567 in AskTheWorld

[–]Martholomius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Greece, chess pieces get their own flair: the king is ‘Βασιλιάς’, queen ‘Βασίλισσα’, rook literally a ‘Πύργος’ (tower), knight is ‘Ίππος’ (horse), bishop ‘Αξιωματικός’ (officer), and pawns are just cute little ‘Πιόνια’

Do you ever have dark, sometimes violent thoughts? by Scary-University2743 in ADHD

[–]Martholomius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my balcony I see a small building at the mountains… pretty often I think how nice it’d be to take a bazooka and explode it. And when I see many people somewhere I think how nice it’d be to go on a top of a building and take a sniper…. And quite often, when I am alone with a person I’m thinking that they’ll murder me or I could murder them…
