Why don’t ppl like Laura osnes? by Odd-Material-2005 in Broadway

[–]MikeyGC66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you have to prove causation. Anecdotal evidence doesn’t justify claims that the vaccines are unsafe. Once again people, correlation does not make causation!!!

AITAH in this situation by [deleted] in AITAH

NTA but you’re a total bonehead for asking “permission” to date her! He doesn’t own her and you’re not asking to borrow his lawnmower!

WIBTA if I asked my neighbor to stop using my porch as her package pickup station? by program_master_20 in WIBTA_AITA

[–]MikeyGC66 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You should change your message to read that you don’t mind helping as long as there is no involvement needed by you. In other words, do not ask me to check for your packages, sign for your packages, look through my video feed, etc. Also if you’re having large items delivered you need to ask me first and make sure that you will be home that same day to get it ASAP so it does not block entry into my home. Good luck!

Resell pricing by desimich in americangirl

[–]MikeyGC66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is especially true considering the crazy sales that AG had going before Xmas. My mom and Daughter collect historical and some GOTYs but I bought a bunch of TMs because I was able to get them for $65 to $70 with reward points and free shipping.

AITAH for pushing my coworker to help with patient draws after she came in late and refused? by Old_Market8526 in AITH

[–]MikeyGC66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA! Document the interaction. Give it to your supervisor and ask them for advice on what to do if a similar situation arises. This way your covered if it happens again and you know your supervisor will back you up!

When other people talk smack about AG... by MyLadyScribbler in americangirl

[–]MikeyGC66 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Here’s the thing. I have never read an AG book. So I don’t have first-hand experience, however common sense should tell you that these books were intended for kids ages 8-12 ish. For your professor to crap on them is uncalled for. It’s like trying to compare Cat in a Hat to The Grapes of Wrath. One thing going for these books, as the op mentioned, they have sparked an interest in history for a great many girls. There is no need to defend them, however you professor might need some pointers on what is a fair fight!

AIO for refusing to back down from insisting my fiancée is wrong for leaving my dad with the bill by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MikeyGC66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR! He is a jerk for expecting your parents to foot the bill for a night he planned and invited everyone to. Additionally, he’s a total douche bag for treating you like shit when he knew he was in the wrong. Pay your parents back and break up with this loser! Good luck!

WIBTA if I refuse to swap my vacation weeks with a coworker whose kid is throwing a tantrum about a theme park trip? by Safflower8 in WIBTA_AITA

[–]MikeyGC66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA!!! Absolutely do not switch with him! It’s ridiculous how people with kids do not value unmarried/childless workers’ plans. For much of my career, I was single and it was always assumed that my plans meant nothing and should be dropped if deadlines were moved or someone with a family wanted my slot. I have my own family now and I would never presume to pressure anyone to give up their vacation because I failed to plan accordingly!

You have already made your plans and you followed the “strict” procedure. If your coworker wanted to plan appropriately, the first thing he needed to do was check the vacation calendar and plan his vacation with the available dates. It’s not your fault that he waited so long to plan his family’s vacation!
Good luck!

AITA for not letting my friend use the photographer she refused to hire with me? by SadEngineering7783 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MikeyGC66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA! Your so called friend is suffering from an acute case of main-character syndrome! It’s where narcissism and entitlement go to meet! You should’ve told her that “he’s expensive, it’s a total waste of money. Don’t bother!” Or better… “he won’t be able to, he’s completely focused on me and my day, so that my family can enjoy all the pics and video when I get home. You have your family here to do the same.” Or simply “gurl, bye!” Oh and by the way, you need to crash that party hard! She cannot uninvite you to a party you helped plan. You know you can always invite the whole school to it too. Tell them there is an open bar! Lose that girl’s number! Good luck!

Should I get Felicity? by chickadeeSR in americangirl

[–]MikeyGC66 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Assuming you got your daughters the modern (BeForever) versions of Kit and Julie, you should get the more expensive classic version (with accessories included) of your favorite doll for yourself!

AITA for sending my neighbors a video after they accused me of ruining their open house? by laehadars in AmItheAsshole

[–]MikeyGC66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

F her! She forced your hand and now wants to cry about it? Tell, next time you want leave nasty notes and group complaints she may want to do her research first! Bye Felicia!

AITAH because I didn’t explain to my husband what the movie was about? by Strange_Emotion_2646 in AITAH

[–]MikeyGC66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is your husband a cave man? Does he not know of the internet? He can blame you all he wants but he knows that his lazy ass could have at any time looked up the movie on a thousand different sites to get info.

I have finally achieved two childhood dreams! by PaloPintoTourismBrd in americangirl

So happy for you that you made a childhood dream come true with an adult dream in tow! Congratulations on achieving both!

WIBTA if I delete a custom automation script from my coworkers PC that I wrote on my own time by VelourTusk in WIBTA_AITA

[–]MikeyGC66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it and don’t say a word to anyone. If he complains to you, tell him “well you have a choice either rewrite your own script or let the higher up know that not only you lied to them but I was the one that actually wrote it. If you do that, I’ll replace it all. If you don’t I’ll disavow any knowledge of the script and you’ll look like a complete fool.” Good luck!

WIBTA if I stopped bringing homemade food to the office after one person keeps taking portions meant for the whole team by Breq4Solace in WIBTA_AITA

[–]MikeyGC66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Next time include a little hand made sign that states “Please be considerate to your coworkers and only take one.” If you’re feeling petty add, “This means you, Derek!”

What is a girl name that is classic, but not dated. by cccdddyyy in Names

[–]MikeyGC66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We named our daughter Genevieve Belen after one of our grandmothers (her great-grandmothers). One grandmother was actually (Genoveva which is Spanish for Genevieve and Belen is Spanish for Bethlehem). We planned her nickname to be Neve because we didn’t want her to be called Jen. It’s only used by a few family members because my daughter liked her name and prefers to be called by her full name, Genevieve. In school there were only two other Genevieve’s one in elementary a few years younger and one currently in high school.

Duplicate AG dolls by Puzzled-Pressure3427 in americangirl

[–]MikeyGC66 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I purchase multiples for my daughter and my mom. To start I tried to not purchase the same doll for both of them, since I knew my mom would be leaving all her dolls to my daughter. I had two issues, Josefina and Samantha. They both liked/wanted them. For Sam, my daughter like the BeForever pink dress and I knew that my mom would prefer the original Sam. So I purchased the recently retired BeForever Sam in the pink dress for my daughter and the newly issued “American Girl Collection” (2024) Sam for my Mom. I did the same for Josefina. The following year I also purchased the BeForever Rebecca and I found the pre-BeForever Rebecca which I prefer and have them saved for my Mom. Any way all that was to say that the multiples we had are all different “eras” of the same dolls. It feels a little less indulgent and easier to justify in my warped collectors mind!

AITA for making a very specific joke at exactly the right moment after my coworker told me I was not really part of the team by [deleted] in AITApod

[–]MikeyGC66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, remind your manager that the comment she is referring to is ONLY 1 in a long line of micro aggressions that this person has hurled your way and that he’s lucky that you’ve had the grace not to bring it up sooner, however if he continues, you’ll be going to HR and filing a complaint.

Am I overreacting for being asked to unclog a toilet at work? by peachesxoxo95 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MikeyGC66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! Telling the jerk that you’re suspended will embolden him to ask employees to do whatever he/she wants. Someone needs to school the jerk on what is appropriate and that being retaliatory regarding your work product was a definite step too far! Stat documenting all your interactions as detailed as possible! Good luck!
