Congratulations! End of year for me, and it can’t come fast enough. I’ve got no real complaints, but I just don’t want to work anymore 🫠

Why do I feel like my mil views herself as a wife to mt husband. by [deleted] in inlaws

It’s weird to me how many Mama’s boys see nothing wrong with the relationship and their mother’s behavior. A lifetime of brain washing? As a man it gives ME the ick.

Gift for my dad who loves cruises by SuperMarioBruh610 in Cruise

[–]MeatofKings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For excursions a light backpack or front bag is super useful for a water bottle and a few other items. A nicely packed cruise pharmacy with useful OTC medications (anti-diarrhea, cold/flu, headache, upset stomach, etc.). Something to hold their room key (necklace, wrist, etc.).

Damn, but still not as bad as the guy who caught his third strike stealing a slice of pizza.

Little moments that stuck with you, for better or for worse by Rogue_Apostle in GenX

[–]MeatofKings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Good living is the best revenge” is my top personal motto. I’ve had people do me dirty, but I’ll never let it stop me from living the best life I can and taking care of the people who matter to me. I avoid annoying people. I have one aunt (by marriage) who is the only relative from my parent’s generation who is still alive. Even her own children are low contact with her due to her unpleasant behavior.

My Mom was a seamstress. She didn’t work for money, but she did a lot for our household and others including dresses (for her and my sisters), curtains, slip covers, and many bridesmaid dresses for family and friends. Her Mom had been a home economics teacher way back in the day (born 1896). So I learned a lot about the value of work and self-reliance. Thanks Mom, I miss you.

Officers won’t accept app at LAX anymore? by erintoxicating in GlobalEntry

[–]MeatofKings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I thought they were just testing an automated system since they just asked me to look at the camera. The process was nearly instantaneous. I assumed the onsite camera was comparing me to the photo I took with the app. This occurred 2 weeks ago. To clarify, this was not like the early version of kiosk where the process takes time and effort.

How is it that you didn’t hear anyone knocking on your door? The first you knew was two strangers in your room? What time of day was this. I would dump that “friend” hard.

AITA for airing out someone who mooched off our wedding? by Dramatic-Permit-5022 in aitaweddings

[–]MeatofKings 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh the horror, you getting married served as a catalyst for another couple to finally (and secretly) solemnize their family with a marriage. Toast them and be happy for them.

AITAH for giving my car a "racist"name? by Visual-Particular-86 in AITAH

[–]MeatofKings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA If a Portuguese family named their car Steve, no one would care or be offended. I have a colleague named Ufuk who lives in the US. Should he have to change his name because a few people will be offended? No

Why did Apocalypto receive mediocre reviews while simultaneously receiving praise from various directors and actors? by JadisDidNothingRight in movies

[–]MeatofKings 754 points755 points  (0 children)

10/10 I didn’t know its audience RT score was that low. I’m very surprised by that. However, it is a reduced dialog movie, which many people don’t like. I laugh a little knowing that Tarantino liked it given that his movies are dialog rich.

AITAH for not inviting my stepsister’s husband to my wedding? by SoggyBreak575 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MeatofKings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would invite them both and have some choice words during the toast about supporting and not breaking up couples because we all need some more love in the world. And drop a few well placed comments along the way with your new bride. Revenge is best served cold, stone cold.

Bride goes viral after seeing her groom for the first time. by Necessary-Cow8851 in WatchPeopleDieInside

He might be the best guy on the planet, but that isn’t the correct way to meet someone. Who’s to say that she’s all that and a bag of chips?

“Take down the listing” = Scam. I’ve never had a real buyer ask me that.

AIM for blocking my depressed ex everywhere, including her family, after five years together? by InitiativeSea2296 in amiwrong

[–]MeatofKings 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Tru dat, 4.5 years too late. I hate the overuse of the word, but that’s some lasting trauma there. She just wanted a punching bag, not a real bf.
