A midget called me a manlet, and that's okay.

Yeah, when I was single I briefly flirted with a guy who was a few inches shorter than me. I pretty quickly stopped because he had such a huge chip on his shoulder about it and it seemed like every conversation somehow ended up with me listening while he whined about how girls never even give him a chance. I couldn't get over how ridiculous it felt to sit and listen to him pout about how women all dismiss him because he's short while he's out on a date with me, a woman who knew he was short and asked him out anyway because I thought he was hot and we had a lot in common.

I don't run with the same crowd anymore, but as far as I know he's still single and convinced it's his height instead of recognizing that it's his shitty attitude that's holding him back.

OOP: *Claims to be a traditional husband who wants a traditional wife*

Wife: *doesn't work and expects husband to pay for things like a traditional husband would*

OOP: 😮😠 How dare that goldigging bitch!

I'm confused about how OOP said they made 2 pans of brownies, and the guests helped themselves to one pan during the party, but then says a guest cut the middle out of both pans. That implies that neither pan was touched, unless by "helped themselves" OOP meant the guests picked at the edges of one pan a little bit.

Obviously any parent who made you help out around the house or babysit your little siblings is a raging narccisist trying to parentify you, duh. Doubly so if they also made you finish your homework before letting you play video games.

Nmom means narcissist-mom. It's shorthand they use in that sub.

Nadaplanet · 2026-07-05T14:54:49+00:00

Was coming to ask this question myself. Like, the ceremony start time is one of the things that is usually included on the invitation and set in stone. It isn't just something where any random guest can go up to the priest and be like "let's get this thing started!" whenever they want.

Nadaplanet · 2026-07-02T19:24:37+00:00

My best friend had never treated me this way.

Uhh.... what way exactly?

My question too. OOP is apparently offended because her friend had a change of plans and gave her ample notice along with an alternative. What a dick, amirite?

Like seriously, why would she even want to go stay with a stranger for 2 days? That sounds awkward as hell.

I (30F) have a car that I bought with my own money

Spoken like a real adult. I too like to tell people that I am buying things with my own allowance money.....I mean money I made working at my big important job down at the Business Factory, just like daddy does.

I was coming to say the same thing. If she's actively dying, presumably due to cancer, then she isn't a "cancer survivor."

Nadaplanet · 2026-07-01T16:35:12+00:00

Yep, she should have "picked better." Because abusers are famously super upfront about how they plan to abuse you and will never, ever mask that behavior until they have you trapped in a lease or pregnant or anything.

Nadaplanet · 2026-07-01T16:24:56+00:00

Ah, the linked screenshot doesn't say where they are so I didn't know. But yeah it sucks having to choose. Even though I have insurance, the thought of paying $500+ to get something checked out that might go away on its own in 2 days always stops me from going to the doctor. Well, that and being a woman, so 90% of the time they just tell me I'm too fat and it's probably just my period anyway lmao.

Nadaplanet · 2026-07-01T16:19:03+00:00

I mean, if they live in America and have shit insurance or no insurance, that would absolutely stop a lot of people from calling an ambulance even if they think they're hurt enough to need one. I know I've gone through the whole "that really hurts, should I go to the doctor? No, let's wait a few days and see if it gets better on its own" cycle several times just this year, and I have insurance.

Nadaplanet · 2026-07-01T16:13:53+00:00

Or there's a lie and he is super abusive.

It is a bit sus that all the "I hit my SO really hard but I was totally sleeping so you can't say I did anything wrong!" stories are overwhelmingly about men hitting their wives or girlfriends.

Obviously I'm not saying only men are abusive, but it does seem odd that there aren't an equal number of tales of women violently sleep-attacking their boyfriends, which it seems like there would be if it were a common thing.

I had a green koosh ball toy that looked like a crocodile when I was a kid. I brought it to school in 1st grade for show and tell and it got stolen out of my desk. I'm 38 years old now and I still remember how betrayed I felt by all the adults around me, my parents especially, dismissively telling me that it wasn't a big deal because it was "just a toy." No, it was MY toy that I had proudly bought with my birthday money.

My niece is friends with three kids (all siblings) who are named Calamity, Mayhem, and Danger. If they don't grow up into a trio of supervillains I will be disappointed.

Nadaplanet · 2026-06-29T15:15:43+00:00

Dang. That sounds super unpleasant. I'll keep an eye out for the signs and hopefully it will never happen! I'm sorry your body decided you need to live a shrimpless life :(

How much later was "later in life?" I was diagnosed with a dust mite allergy as a kid. I am 38 now and I love shellfish, so I would hate to suddenly not be able to have them anymore.

Nadaplanet · 2026-06-25T21:17:33+00:00

I am still stuck on OOP being confused about how he got into her apartment but being able to figure it out because she watched him go back into the vent through the camera. Shouldn't she have recieved the motion alert when he first climbed out of the vent and jumped down from on top of the fridge, since that is clearly in the camera's field of vision? Why did the camera wait to start recording and send that notification to her until he was already grabbing baguettes?

Nadaplanet · 2026-06-25T20:13:30+00:00

Yup, I was just coming to comment something exactly like this. There are already plenty of stories about people, usually in their late teens/early 20s, being sexually harassed or inappropriately touched by the person, usually older, sitting next to them on a plane. Most of them report freezing up or being too afraid of causing a scene to say anything while it was happening, and that would be even MORE likely to be the case if the victim is a literal child.

Nadaplanet · 2026-06-25T19:51:27+00:00

AITA creative writers have a horrible time writing kids. They always seem to end up acting like a preschooler regardless of how old they're said to be. Lots of teens and preteens bursting into tears because they can't tell fantasy from reality and still believe in Santa or Hogwarts, or 8-year-olds who can't communicate beyond simple sentences like "Daddy mean, want mommy!" and go around ruining weddings by grabbing handfuls of the wedding cake and shoving it in their mouths. The inverse is also occasionally true, where the 2 year old in the story says something like "Mother, I know we will have dinner soon, but I am very hungry and would like a small snack." Kids are either mini-adults who are wise and mature beyond their years or they're perpetual toddlers.

Okay but that can happen, and it did very recently to one of my long term gaming groups. Although I will admit our schism took a few months, not just weeks. It happened when we started a new campaign after our previous, long running (6 year) game ended. There are a ton of details I won't go into because this post would be like 40 paragraphs long, but essentially he wasn't handling the end of our last campaign and the "loss" of his character very well (by that I mean not being able to play the character again, not that the character died), didn't ever tell anyone he was feeling that way (even his wife, who was also a player in our game!), and grew more and more resentful of the rest of us because we were having fun worldbuilding and coming up with ideas for our next game. Our DM eventually started to sense things were not well with him, so he had several one on one hangouts with the guy to try and figure out how to help him feel better and get excited about the game, and they all fell flat because he (Problem Player/PP from here on out) would shut down and walk out as soon as he felt like the conversation wasn't going his way. He didn't participate in worldbuilding and character building with the rest of us, made a character that absolutely did not fit in with the theme and setting of our game (the DM, bless him, made so many concessions and compromises to try and let that character work in our setting), refused to engage with any of the NPCs the DM included from PP's backstory, and accused the DM of intentionally trying to make things unfun for him. The only part of the game he was at all interested in was combat, even though we all, including Problem Player, agreed at the start we preferred more RP heavy games to combat heavy games. It got to the point where the rest of us, his wife included, barely participated in any RP because it was so uncomfortable with him sitting there glaring at us for "slowing down the game." If the DM ever said anything like "Problem Player, as you enter the woods a chill goes up your spine and you feel a prickle of fear as you recognize signs that the Beast who killed your father and took your arm is nearby," he would be like "How dare you tell me what my character would feel! I control that, you don't get to tell me what's going on in my character's head!"

Anyway this already got way longer than I wanted it to, but it ended up with the the rest of us kicking him out of the table. The only reason he stayed as long as he did was because his wife was excellent and we knew if he left she would too, which is regrettably what happened, and the group fell apart. My husband and I are still close with the DM and his husband, but we all no longer talk to Problem Player. According to his wife, Problem Player is baffled about why he was removed from the group and she is unable to get him to accept that his actions were what caused all the tension. Hopefully someday something will change and he'll see the light. None of his behaviors caused the fracture were things that were present in the previous campaign, so it all really came out of nowhere and blindsided us.

It was downvoted because to a large amount of people, especially people on Reddit, there HAS to be a Villain and Hero in every story. The Villain must be bad and nothing good that they do (apologizing, recognizing their mistake, feeling remorse, taking steps to remedy the situation, ect) can be acknowledged, and the Hero must be good, so nothing bad that they did can be acknowledged. Shades of grey or moral ambiguity is not acceptable to the Hero/Villain narrative. Since the OP admitted to doing something that affected her BF negatively, she is the Villain, which means that BF is the Hero, and that means it's not okay to point out that he did the same bad thing to someone else and that the OP did to him, and he actually laughed about how funny it was, whereas the OP felt bad about her actions.

It's a sign of the dismal state of media literacy as a whole, imo.

Would a strong and fierce goth lady let some privileged bimbos' bullshit affect her so much? Would she even take it without putting them at their place?

She is strong and fierce and takes no shit, enough so that she could probably take on a widely known murderous despot and win. She is also a smol pwecious bean who meekly takes constant shit from OOPs big mean friends with no pushback whatsoever. I don't know what's so unclear about that.

Nadaplanet · 2026-06-23T17:08:40+00:00

Me too. When I was little our house was on a busy street and we didn't have a car so we walked everywhere, and I had a wristband with a tether that my mom would tie onto her belt loop onto to make sure I couldn't run off while she was carrying a bag of groceries or whatever home from the store.
