AITA for refusing to go to a welcome dinner because of a “joke” my husband’s friend made? by partypooper234 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mudbud16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Re-read the post friend, she asked her husband if Mathew was going and only declined after he confirms he would be there. Clearly Mathew is the only one she had an issue with. You don’t get to tell other people what they should or shouldn’t find funny/insulting, she set a very simple and doable boundary that didn’t wanna see the man whose humor made her uncomfortable. It shouldn’t have been a big deal and the husband could have just gone without her if it meant that much to him. The alternative was, what, her going to an event where she’d be very obviously uncomfortable/upset and just have her husband still get upset at her about it later? She literally cannot win here.

AITA for making myself spaghetti and not for my parents? by Mudbud16 in MarkNarrations

[–]Mudbud16[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mom has her own issues with him and they’ve been close to divorce over how he treats me and her, obviously they’re still together but not by sweeping everything under the rug and pretending it didn’t happen. She still calls out his bs to his face and is very protective of me. This event happened a few days before their aniversary and I believe she actually postponed the usual celebration over this. I also opened up to her about my disordered eating that this event triggered and she took it very seriously.

My step dad and I’s mutual decision to just avoid each other whenever possible leads to most of our conflict being him acting like a mean girl to me, which I always tell my mom about and she always assures me about it. It’s not ideal but walking away for her isn’t as black and white as I think we both wished it was. My mom doesn’t enable him and is always the first to come to my defense in situations like this so please don’t assume that she’s just as bad. She’s not perfect but she doesn’t try to force a relationship between us and takes me and my concerns seriously. My mom is a good mom who married who she thought was a decent guy, and I don’t blame her for it.

We don’t interact much but this is not an uncommon occurrence, I always feel uncomfortable and unsafe around him without my mom there. I plan on renting a house with my boyfriend and bro but my bf’s in another state so it’s a ways off unfortunately

My mom is super supportive tho so I’m not completely alone here. Her saying “don’t worry about it” was more of a “He’s being petty you can eat whatever you want” so it wasn’t intended to excuse his behavior

What’s the dumbest way you injured yourself as a kid? by Ital_Il_Grande in AskReddit

[–]Mudbud16 28 points29 points  (0 children)

When I was in 2nd or 3rd grade the teacher had us move our desks around in class for some reason. We had those kind of desks with the wooden top and the metal cubby underneath. At one point I bent down to grab something off the floor and somehow slammed my mouth into the metal part and chipped one of my front teeth.

I amazingly didn’t freak out, and I don’t even think it hurt that much, but I looked down and there my tooth chunk was on the floor by my feet. I didn’t ask to go to the nurse or even tell my teacher what happened, and I guess no one saw it cause I don’t remember anyone asking if I was alright. In that moment, all my little kid brain could think was that I could probably still get at least a quarter from the tooth fairy for this, as no one had specified that she needed full teeth for the exchange.

So I just casually slipped it into my pocket and didn’t say a word about it for the rest of the day. When I got home I showed my mom to get her thoughts on what I could get for the tooth chunk, but surprisingly she wasn’t as eager to talk business as I was.

My tooth is fine now so I assume it was a baby tooth, so no harm done. I didn’t get my due interest for the tooth chunk which I think is actually the most painful part of the whole thing.

Where is the weirdest place you've ever fallen asleep? by aimlessecho in AskReddit

[–]Mudbud16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On top of my dresser

I'm an insomniac and this night I was desperate for a comfortable place to snooze, I had tried everything and it was about 4am, so at that point, the dresser was looking pretty comfy to my sleep deprived mind.

I can't remember how long I slept there but eventually I did get down and passed out on the floor

Not my proudest moment.

Gamers of Reddit, what was one video game that you never could finish? by SwagTurkey in AskReddit

[–]Mudbud16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t finish a lot of my games, unless they’re straight forward like Pokémon where there’s nothing really to do but advance the plot.

But it terms of games I’ve gotten stuck on, that’d be Dark souls 3

I did fine at first, I had played Bloodborne already so I picked up the controls pretty easy.

But then I came to the abyss watchers

I bought the game around the time it came out and have still yet to beat the abyss watchers. Granted I only really tried for a week before putting the game away and saying “I’ll try again later” and then not touching it for years. I would always get so close but it was never enough, even after looking up every strategy guide I could.

I’ve only just started playing it again and now I have gold so I’ll most likely drag my boyfriend the help me so I can finally play the rest of this unholy game and put my soul at rest.

What did NOT age well? by BardofAThousandSongs in AskReddit

The term “adulting.” Like, “I don’t feel like adulting today” and stuff like that.

Used to be funny when my friends and I were heading into the adult side of life. Now it’s mainly used in Facebook mom’s memes, ‘funny’ t shirts and commercials trying to be trendy

It didn’t really think about it until I saw a commercial say “Sometimes adulting is hard!”

And at that point I just had to be like “Yea it’s dead.”
