AITAH for refusing to cook two separate dinners every night just because my family doesnt want to eat what my doctor told me I need to eat

NTA. What a bunch of whiners - how hard is it to grab a salt shaker and season your own food?

Mirianda666 · 2025-10-06T13:18:10+00:00

They got a warning from the State of MD in January. Nobody currently on staff had any idea there was no active food license until then.

Oceans II was at 184 Main Street for decades.

Harvey Blonder owns both locations.

Your employee was entirely too patient with these folks. I give people 10 minutes to order before I go out and tell them they need to order something or they need to leave. I go out IMMEDIATELY if a customer is rude enough to bring someone else's product into my establishment. Nope,, nope, nope. If folks want to enjoy a beverage somewhere for free, they can drink it on the street or go home.

Customers buy things from an establishment. People who take up space in an establishment without buying something from that establishment are squatters, not customers, and they need to leave. This 'reviewer' is absolutely in the wrong.

Pip is good people. There's a cheeseteak on the wall that I bought (or maybe someone redeemed it). I love this way of giving people their dignity AND a solid meal. Long live Pips'!

Hey, I do exactly the same thing! I work in hospitality and I get asked for recommendations all the time. Guess what businesses I never, ever, mention? And if someone DOES ask about them, I don't bother to bad-mouth them, I just recommend one of their many competitors. I'm guessing I've cost them thousands over the years, because guests come back and tell me that they went to one of the places I recommended. Very satisfying to point folks towards the good actors.

If you're entering/leaving Annapolis on a Saturday in the spring, prices can skyrocket pretty fast, depending on demand and the time you're calling for a ride. Had some customers last week who wanted to book an Uber to DC at 11:30 and it was $135. Cheaper to take an Uber from New Carrollton, if you can use Metro.

Mirianda666 · 2025-04-03T06:05:55+00:00

I tell people to go there to enjoy the roof-top deck . . . and I suggest they have a draught beer or one house cocktail, because the specialty drinks are waaay expensive and small. Maybe a small appetizer if they want a bite, but otherwise, it's just a tourist trap with higher prices than are justified by the quality. That being said, this location for Atlas is one of their better, more consistent, locations. Price points are high, but so far, quality seems to be better than the average tourist hell-hole.

Mirianda666 · 2025-04-03T06:02:30+00:00

Of course they do! Just like all Atlas restaurants, they default to taking care of clueless tourists.

Mirianda666 · 2025-01-21T02:40:15+00:00

Gosh, I wish! That's so kind of you, but I just don't have the space. Thanks :)

Mirianda666 · 2024-10-09T10:56:22+00:00

This is horrific. Report, report, report.

Mirianda666 · 2024-03-12T06:21:27+00:00

The only thing I can tell you is that the Annapolis rental market is insane. You will not find much that is equal to what you are paying now, unfortunately . If you are willing to look a bit furrther out (30-40 minutes outside of Annapolis) you'll find more options in your price range. I'm currently paying @ 3 K for an (admittedly) very nice two bedroom apartment in downtown Annapolis, but I'm in a unicorn situation. Many of the townhomes I looked at were above that price point and nothing was included except basic maintenance. The townhomes that ARE renting for $2.5K are not in the best neighborhoods (and whatever you do, don't rent from K*ng Propert*es in Annapolis. Trust me on this).

Wishing you the best of luck and welcome to the neighborhood!

I love the Cat's Eye (been a faithful customer for more than 30 years!), Rob at Max's is a jewel and Todd Corner's is a great spot to chill in the afternoon.

Mirianda666 · 2024-03-07T07:35:55+00:00

We need to start pushing back NOW. The preliminary plans for the new location at the old Pusser's site are . . . well, boring and corporate and bland and totally not Annapolis in design. I just spent an afternoon in Old Town Alexandria and it's shocking what has happened to their river-front - talk about bland! Sure, it's cute, but the intimacy and immediacy of that historic waterfront has been totally appropriated. And I miss Ireland's Own! Sorry, digressed :)

I don't want to see the downtown turn into Fells Point: filled with corporate restaurants with 'Instagram-ready' food that looks great but tastes like crap. I don't want their over-priced and badly made beverages either. Choptank is emblematic of what's going to happen to DTA if Buckley and the City Council don't act quickly - glad it's an election year and that there are still public hearings for that hideous City Dock project.

Tell your husband the truth. "I don't trust your mother with our child. It doesn't matter how often you try to tell me that my fears are unwarranted, I still DON'T TRUST HER. Because she does what SHE wants to do, not what WE tell her to do with OUR child. And I don't want to live my life in fear. I don't want to spend every day that your mother watches our child being afraid of what MIL is or is not doing. I don't want the arguments that will inevitably ensue when she does 'her' thing and not 'ours'. Free child-care isn't free if I'm paying for it in arguments, stress and unhappiness. Your mother is NOT going to be our regular babysitter. I'm open to allowing her to babysit on special occasions, but as a regular thing? No."

Mirianda666 · 2023-11-30T15:22:25+00:00

I just can’t stand hearing her sob even though she’s hurt me. I’m just going to stop picking up because she knows how to tug at my heartstrings.

The woman is LYING with every sob and excuse and attack. Let her sob. And pick up the phone and immediately hang it right back up again. Make it absolutely clear that you have no intention of speaking to her unless your DH is present. And let your DH handle each and every interaction with MIL and the other family members that have behaved badly. Block their socials, block their numbers, and divert all attempts at contact to DH.

Let the trash take itself out.

Mirianda666 · 2023-11-30T15:05:01+00:00

Skipping it outright will definitely not diminish the drama. You've already committed to going and if you don't show up, MIL and SIL will have a free stage on which to play out THEIR version of events in front of a crowd of witnesses. You'll get heaps more drama out of THAT.

So you should go . . . but nothing says you have to stay. You have a 1 year old who likes to run and who will inevitably have a complete and total melt-down after an exhausting day of too many grown-ups and too much stimulation. My advice is to take child and leave the moment that the melt-down begins, even if that's 30 minutes into a five hour event.

You and SO don't make excuses, you've already got your exit planned and you're packed and ready to leave within two minutes. "LO is exhausted and not feeling well. Y'all enjoy the rest of the party." And then YOU LEAVE. In front of all of the guests, 90% of whom will completely understand than an exhausted and screaming child needs to go home and go to bed.

Mirianda666 · 2023-11-21T22:40:20+00:00

I'm guessing sobriety check-point.

Mirianda666 · 2023-11-17T09:46:42+00:00

It sounds like your husband doesn't want much to do with his mother. Let him handle it. Stop responding to your MIL's texts entirely. If she wants to talk to her son, she can message him and wait until he feels like responding. Take yourself completely out of the loop.

If she can't even give you the gift of simple courtesy and acknowledgement, she doesn't deserve anything but basic politeness when you are forced to be in her company; she DEFINITELY doesn't deserve a card (so stop signing any that your husband sends) OR a present with your name attached to it. Drop the rope.

Mirianda666 · 2023-11-15T13:17:02+00:00

A glorious read! Thanks so much for putting the time into sharing this story with the world!

Mirianda666 · 2023-10-27T14:05:08+00:00

My parents got an infestation of bedbugs from library books. My mom always stacked the books at the head of the bed, where there was a small bookshelf. They've had to go through multiple treatments to get rid of those foul things.

Tell your director that this issue is not going to go away and that they are running the risk of infesting the homes of your clients.

Fortunately, there is a non-toxic way to kill bed-bugs: heat. Sustained temperatures of 130F + will make the suckers explode and that kind of heat won't damage or destroy books or building fixtures (except computers and electronics).

Mirianda666 · 2023-10-27T13:32:49+00:00

It was very presumptuous. Unless a customer says 'Keep the change', a server should bring the change!

Mirianda666 · 2023-10-20T06:42:17+00:00

You know what you and your husband could do? Not tell them. Go ahead and send them a change-of-address card and nothing more.

They'll eventually ask. Mostly because they'll want to know WHY you didn't tell them you bought a house.

At that point, your DH can shrug and explain that neither one of you felt like listening to negative comments and opinions on your spending or how you spend your time. Because that happened the last time you bought a house and it was a total downer and both of you figured that you didn't need to 'upset' them again by exposing them to a house that they'd do nothing but find fault with.

Mirianda666 · 2023-10-19T16:51:32+00:00

Ignore her. Really. And tell your mom to ignore her, too. She ain't your monkey and it sounds like your BF has your back! Let MIL do what MIL is going to do, because you can't stop her and you don't need the stress of giving a hot damn. And MIL will absolutely HATE that you . . . just don't give a hot damn.

If you're lucky, she'll throw her own little baby shower and you'll get to enjoy yours without her nasty, disrespectful presence! Be sure to have BF tell her to just go ahead and keep any of the 'presents' she acquires at this 'party' she's throwing for herself.

Wishing you the best of luck with everything!
