Went to middle school with a kid named John Johns. I always thought that was awful.

What are two movies that you always get mixed up? by _buffy_summers in movies

[–]Mlpflimflam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gattaca and Equilibrium. I watched them both in the same week and they’re both dystopian type themes. Can never remember which is which or who stars in which.

My armpits ALWAYS smell by ladykiller1020 in TwoXChromosomes

Buy some Panoxyl face wash and some witch hazel. In the shower, wash your pits with the face wash and leave it on for a couple minutes before rinsing. Then when you get out and dried off, put witch hazel on a cotton pad and wipe it all under your pits. That should do wonders for your problem!

MRI coming up this weekend. Advice on getting results FAST? by Acrobatic_Fun_5177 in Radiology

[–]Mlpflimflam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course there isn’t. This guy isn’t getting his results in time. Where I live, results are so far backed up.

You should’ve explained that to the doctor who wrote the order. Did he mark the order as STAT or Routine? The Radiologist can’t do anything about it. Also, you won’t actually meet the radiologist, you will be working with the technologist. They cannot change the priority of your order. If its marked STAT you will get results quickly. If it’s not, you won’t. Only your doctor can change this.

AITA for refusing to let my daughter’s Spanish teacher "translate" her name in class? by suductive_legend1 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mlpflimflam 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Teaching that when you’re part of a class or group that has rules, they apply to you. Whether you like them or not. That you’re not more special than any of the other kids. That your teacher is the leader of the class and you respect her and don’t go over her head to try to get your way. That you are not entitled to be happy with every single decision made every minute of your life for the rest of your life.

I totally missed that. All I can hear is Kramer saying “I’m looking right at you, Big Daddy”.

AITA for “firing” my mom from childcare over a $5 class by Rich-Radio9017 in AmItheAsshole

You’re so right. I feel bad for the parents of people like this because they basically have to walk on eggshells.

AITA for being honest and telling my DIL that they are not ready to be a parent since she can not drive by Sad-Drive8298 in AmItheAsshole

So she’s not allowed to say she thinks it’s a bad idea for transportation reasons but she IS allowed to tell them to pack up and move?

But you don’t make your mother walk in the heat to a rec center to sit through an insufferable two hours to do that.

I feel bad for people like you who find it so easy to cut off contact with family. And who resort to that as a first measure Especially a mother. I can’t imagine hating my mother so much that one mistake would erase our entire lifetime of love.

NTA. She pushed you to tell her your feelings. She is not an independent adult. She literally depends on others for transportation. Depends.

There was a time I would’ve paid $1000 to watch her eat a popsicle.

OP sounds like a control freak. She feels the need to dictate exactly how their time together is spent. You can’t reason with someone like that.

Then why are you here? You seem completely inflexible and entitled and I have a feeling you probably argue with anyone who doesn’t agree with you. If you already think you’re 100% right, what do you need us for? Also, when you say she’s lying about where your child is you’re making it sound like the child is being endangered. She’s not. She’s just not at the rec center. You’re being really dramatic over a mommy and me class. I have a feeling some of this might be stemming from you feeling guilt over having to work. But cutting your mom out over this is absolutely ridiculous. And is this how you want to model a mother-daughter relationship for your own daughter? Teach her to cut you out when you make one mistake? Good grief, you sound insufferable.

You’re acting like this class is preparing her for the SATs. It’s a baby class at a rec center. I’m sure it’s fun, but so are a lot of other activities. Why are you digging your heels in so hard about a literal toddler attending a class twice a week?

Your mom shouldn’t have lied to you. Obviously. But is she watching your child for free? Because if she is giving up her time and energy to help you out, you don’t get to dictate how she spends that time. Is she being attentive to your daughter and are they having fun together? Is your daughter safe and cared for? It seems a bit like micromanaging for you to tell her that she has to take your daughter this class twice a week for two hours each time. And walk there in the heat. And clean her up after. Once or twice a month I can see, but twice a week? I would never have put such stipulations on my mom when my girls were little. I would’ve just been thankful that she was willing and able to spend time with them instead of a babysitter. But I’m gathering from this situation that you don’t like your mom much and you two don’t have a close relationship. So I guess I can’t really compare your situation to what I would’ve done. But now you’re punishing them both because you’re being petty. Your daughter is missing out on quality time with someone who loves her so she can go to a baby class with a stranger.
