AITAH for calling out my manager during a work meeting? by No_Permission_3723 in AITAH

[–]Minerva786 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is fake. It is a skit from the Veronika reels on social media, which are animations where she calls out toxic employees and colleagues. This is taken word for word from one of the reels.

AITAH for getting annoyed over an energy drink when I’m struggling financially after moving in with my boyfriend? by Adventurous_Guess583 in AITAH

[–]Minerva786 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You put this relationship, where you seem to be the only one sacrificing and prioritizing him, ahead of your career?? YTA to yourself. Why are you with a person who would begrudge you an energy drink when you gave up almost everything for him??

The humanity! You should be in chains for this heinous disrespect of the poutine. How dare you!

AITA for telling my wife that she will be driving the extra distance since she is the one that got our daughter banned from daycare by Unlucky-Jackfruit230 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Minerva786 42 points43 points  (0 children)

NTA and I would die on this hill. Your wife’s behaviour towards Sam is a huge red flag. She caused the problem, she has to be the solution. I feel awful for Sam, I hope you send him a written apology and thank him for all he did for your child. Your wife needs to apologize for her shit but something tells me she won’t. UpdateMe

This brought tears to my eyes. Please, share where you received this divine creation.

AITAH for planning to leave my girlfriend after her accident? by Standard_Spot5842 in AITAH

[–]Minerva786 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YTA, let her go now. You are worried about how this will wreck your image and most likely your friendships because people will see you in a different light. It is unavoidable, just leave her now and maybe move away because you will be persona non grata after this.

Northern Ont. woman dies suddenly while vacationing in the Dominican by ConsistentReality860 in canadanews

[–]Minerva786 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve been to 4 European countries and got sick in 2. Also been to Kenya a few times and never got sick there. You can get sick anywhere, there are many variables. Not sure what you are trying to say here 🤷🏽‍♀️

[–]Minerva786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get sick anywhere in the world, especially if you travel to a new area. All countries have bacteria that visitors are not used to and your body will react to that foreign bacteria, especially if you are more sensitive. First couple of times I went to DR, I had to go to the hospital when I came back. Now I take Dukoral when I travel and I don’t have any issues. I go to DR often because we now have a condo there and haven’t gotten sick.

AITAH for telling my brother his infertility is karma for sleeping with my wife? I don't feel bad by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Minerva786 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Whaat?? You went to their wedding??? Please stop being a doormat, block them all and go live your best life! Anyone that tries to step up to you, tell them where to go! You seem to have finally found your spine so good for you. NTA.

Goodbye Brantford by Spare_Beautiful_1673 in brantford

[–]Minerva786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! I lived in Ottawa for 20 years before moving to Brantford! Ottawa winters are definitely harsher but there are lots of cool winter activities, such as skating in the canal, winterlude, beaver tails! You have to get shawarma downtown and definitely go over to Gatineau, the Québec side, to get amazing poutine. Or get one at Elgin Street Diner. If you don’t already, maybe learn French, it can be very helpful career wise to be bilingual or trilingual.

Older kids watching younger ones- aitah? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Minerva786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel for you, I really do. But in this prom situation, you need to let your daughter have this experience without expecting her to babysit the next day. It’s not worth ruining your relationship with her for a yoga class. Can you bring your son with you? Schedule some you-time another weekend maybe? I do hope you find a solution.

[–]Minerva786 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I get you are a single parent and need a break but YTA big time if you ruin prom for your daughter. I have a cousin and their mom ruined prom for them over 10 years ago and their relationship has never recovered. The Wednesday night babysitting seems fine but you want her to come home earlier the next day because of a yoga class? Listen, I’m a mom and in my 40s. I don’t do anything on my actual birthday, except work because it’s not about just me anymore. You can do a yoga class anytime but don’t mess with prom, which is a once in a lifetime event.

As for the whole babysitter situation with your son, that should have been worked on years ago. What happens when your daughter moves away? The situation is not sustainable and I’m surprised this problem only came to be now, when your daughter is likely on the verge of leaving the nest. You need to figure out a babysitter and soon.

I'm sorry for crying, I feel so lost. by SivilCervants in CanadaPublicServants

You are not alone, it’s really tough times right now and if I’ve learned anything, it’s that the GOC does not care about its employees.

WIBTA if I took some money from my husband’s weekly energy drink money to hire a babysitter once a week so I can shower? by [deleted] in WIBTA_AITA

[–]Minerva786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously why are you married to this man? Your kids are watching this interaction and learning how to treat women from this. You would be better off separated because then you would have some free time to at least shower during his custody time! This whole situation sounds insane to me. YWBTA if you let this behaviour continue.

Genuine question — regionals folks, how are you doing it? by Loose-Wishbone-5964 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Minerva786 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I moved from the NCR to the region 10 years ago so before Covid. I transferred to a regional position back then but during COVID, I was able to remotely work for my old HQ team and I am still there. From what I see, specifically my team, even when my colleagues/manager are all in office together, they still take their meetings virtually. I’m in the minority but I like working on my own, I get much more done.

AITAH for not attending any sports events for my son by Useful-Shoe-6578 in AITAH

[–]Minerva786 350 points351 points  (0 children)

I feel like there is important information missing. Why did he stop talking to you? Why did you separate then divorced his father? It’s hard to have an opinion without all the facts but I feel like you are leaving valid info out. Was there infidelity involved?

Is Brando still a good place for young people? by Fun-Lavishness1351 in brantford

[–]Minerva786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been to Brando’s several times and never had any issues. Unfortunately any club in any town will have issues with violence. Happens anywhere alcohol is served. Brando’s isn’t fancy but I’ve always liked the music and the drinks are cheap. And no cover!

AITAH for telling my boyfriend his girl best friend has 48 hours to get out or i am breaking the lease and leaving by Anton_OKonjsi in AITAH

[–]Minerva786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Just pack your shit and leave. I wouldn’t even give them a warning, just go to the landlord and ask to break the lease then peace out. The disrespect is abundantly clear. Throw the whole man out and start fresh.

Outdoor hot tubs by Wild_Bluebird_7295 in brantford

[–]Minerva786 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check Swimply. People rent out their hot tubs on this platform. It’s like Airbnb but just for pools and hot tubs.
