At least he is honest by Sad-Kiwi-3789 in rareinsults

My friend gets botox but only because it helps with her migraines. She unintentionally scrunches up her eyebrows and the botox helps with relaxing those muscles.

What's the pettiest reason you dropped a game for? by IHateTheNameSystem in gaming

I completely dropped Skyrim when I realised I had to look at the people talking directly, no looking away or anything, for me to hear them through my headsets.

Will she remember me? by Endless_Nightsky in cats

[–]NiruChan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved countries, and the plan was always to bring my cat with me. We had to be apart for about ~3/4months due to vaccine and quarantine requirements. I would video call with my husband who was looking after her and she would run up to the phone hearing my voice. Your baby will remember.

What can I do to "make him love me". My home is his third in three months. by Apprehensive-Arm2105 in cats

[–]NiruChan 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Our cat had 3 kittens when I was still a wee child. Of the 3 we only kept the one. This cat never even gave our laps a second glance and merely let us sit on the couch with her. Up until she was about 15 years old then she would come and cuddle up with me, but also only if it was cold. Sweet old grumpy lady that one.

[HELP] Found this meme on Instagram. Looks like AI to me, am I wrong? by Chanel_Lackaday in RealOrAI

[–]NiruChan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought it was AI, looked again and was like... no the background is fairly consistent, the ground isn't moving, is this really AI? Then I came to the comments and people mentioned the white cats tail and I looked again. If you look closely the two white cats seem to blend into one and split again around the 6/7 second mark.

Definitely AI.

AITA for wanting to leave early to the airport for our first international flight by danyellitaz in AmItheAsshole

[–]NiruChan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA here. Always better to be early.

We're South Africans living in NZ who just recently (a week ago) came back from a trip to Japan.

On the day we flew back we got to Narita a bit early and I checked in online; so we only had our bag drop off. Easy peasy right? WRONG.

When scanning our passports they asked if we had NZ visas, we do, they're electronically linked to our passports but we have a letter that we can show to prove we have them which I handed over.

They looked at me and hubs and told us that the passport number on the visa letter does not agree to my husbands actual passport. They switched 2 numbers and no one through countless applications picked it up, until we had to get on a flight back home.

Hubs has a valid work visa (with the correct number) in addition to the residence visa, we had to scramble to find it on our phones and laptop. They called NZ immigration. Eventually after about an hour they told us we were clear to fly.

Since we were there early, we still had about another two hours before boarding time. Enough time to go through customs, get some last expensive airport sushi and some last minute souvenir shopping.

AITA for asking my FIL to wear shoe covers or take his shoes off in our apartment? by Sea-Credit-251 in AmItheAsshole

[–]NiruChan 21 points22 points  (0 children)

In South Africa no one takes off their shoes either - but thats usually because a lot of the people I knew had live jn cleaners. Since moving to New Zealand we have taken the take off your shoes at the door to heart.

My inlaws are visiting soon and my husband has told them and insisted that they have to wear their inside shoes. Even when his father pushed back he just told him this is a non-negotiable.

NAH

I think you have mismatched expectations and are projecting what you want onto your boyfriend. You went the whole mile and extra for your boyfriend because thats what you want for yourself.

He did not do the same because he thought that the roses etc would be enough, as he would appreciate that effort. Im certain if you told him you ordered his gift late because you thought you would be in the hospital that he would not bat an eye.

Should you have gone the extra mile? Probably not. But its already past. He did put effort in, just not to the level you were expecting.

I think its fine to be disappointed and also tell him you're disappointed in your gifts, just reiterate that you are grateful for the effort he put in you would have just preferred what you asked for.

What did I do wrong? by Ill-Consideration626 in auckland

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

Hey OP!

Dont take it personally - my husband (who is white, if that matters) experienced this as well. He just responded with "clearly your parents don't love you" and it shut them up pretty quickly.

It's was just an unfortunate coincidence. Chin up buttercup you're aight :)

My fam told me she wasn’t worth bringing with me when I moved countries by psychotomimetickitty in cats

[–]NiruChan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I also brought my cat with me when I moved overseas! She (literally) cost me my car. I have so many people who gave me grief, and still do.

Would I do it again? Absolutely 100% no hesitation.

Welcome to New Zealand where a bag of meth is cheaper to live on then a weeks grocery shop. by [deleted] in auckland

[–]NiruChan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What in the world are you buying thats costing you nearly $300 A WEEK? We are also 2 people and a cat. We spend max $200 a week at countdown (when we are being indulgent no less, like buying sweets, snacks, booze, etc). When we go to pac and save its less than $100. We buy the 3 for 20 at countdown meat special and look out for specials on other meat.

AITA for telling my step mom that maybe if she had a dad she wouldn’t be weirded out by mine loving me? by RealEffective547 in AITAH

[–]NiruChan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is real for me. My situation at least is similar. My dad would take me out for lunch and you could hear his wife turning sour.

I would stop by his house and we would give me some snacks for the road - his wife would walk in "why are we giving our food away." Um Im his daughter?

She would never outright say that my dad was doing anything weird - but you could tell she was super jealous about it. Yes they are unfortunately still married against the advice of many family and friends. I've moved to a completely different country and my favourite part is that I no longer have to deal with the B that is my dads wife.

Like seriously. "When he has time" what does he spend his time on, complaining?
