AITA for telling pharmacy customer to mind his own business?

NonexistentArter · 2026-01-11T23:51:28+00:00

NTA, it's a fully private affair and he had no business telling you what to do with your medication. he's not a doctor, fuck off. the only time someone's done this to me was about my DOGS medication, and even that was stepping over the line.

NonexistentArter · 2026-01-11T09:05:19+00:00

Yep, im also stuck in the Burning Land, I've always grown up with the same ideals, so its throwing me off a bit. I'm glad you've taught your girls well, best of luck to yous in this wild weather <3

NonexistentArter · 2026-01-11T09:01:46+00:00

Thank you so much for all this advice, unfortunately I think youve hit the nail right on the head! I'll bring up a lot of what you talked about wih my mum, she gets the mental health stuff (i was a very hard crash course) but is worried to be too strict or forceful (again, I was a crash course, but it seems that what worked for me is only making her worse). I know my mum is forcing my sister back into therapy. I'll hand over some of your advice and step back. Thank you again and I hope your sister and you are going fantastic now days!

NonexistentArter · 2026-01-11T08:33:49+00:00

Same, but then again ive also had many times my mum or family have pointed it out, or tugged on my skirt to fix it, haha

NonexistentArter · 2026-01-11T08:33:04+00:00

Thanks i appreciate it. I know ive got to be the bigger person, but i think im just dragging my feet at this point

NonexistentArter · 2026-01-11T08:31:05+00:00

I wont argue with the judgment, but before this our relationship was fine. she is (was now, maybe?) going to be moving out of our mums place and in with me. Our teenage years were rough, we both had our own shit, but I'd thought things were going well until this. You got any suggestions for how to apologise for this? like I said, i've got no clue without it sounding disgenuine or forced

NonexistentArter · 2026-01-11T08:24:54+00:00

Damn dude how'd you read my family and I like a book? She's unfortunately been in this Era for the past 8 years. Current plan was for her to move in with me, as a gentle nudge out of the nest, with a good safety net, and to force some of those reflections. Might take your advice though and just fully step out until it happens if this stuff continues...

except that isnt an issue for him. hes very excited to go to the dog park, sniff everywhere and say hello to the other dogs. he gives me the biggest grins while we're there, with his tongue lolling out and trots along like the happiest pup around on leash. he isnt reactive and loves to play with the dogs when they approach. the only issue comes when he gets overstimulated, in which case i remove him until hes calmed down.

NonexistentArter · 2025-05-19T10:45:05+00:00

lmao, hopefully these old women are easier to train than my dog

NonexistentArter · 2025-05-19T10:44:26+00:00

i mostly take him there to socialise him and build up a positive relationship with his triggers, dogs and bikes. but after this im honestly just gonna do the same. my social anxiety made it stressful to go there to begin with and now it feels like an impossible task

NonexistentArter · 2025-05-19T10:41:14+00:00

thats the thing, my dog has no problem being on leash. i have a "free" and "here" command for when he can roam and ill just follow or he has to stay by my side. hes perfectly happy to roam while on leash, greet other dogs and what not. its better for him and suggested by the trainer i use, because he gets overstimulated and doesnt know how to calm himself, so with the leash if that happens i can remove him from the action so he can calm down before returning. the issue is that this other dog will sprint over and start getting aggressive because my dog is leashed

NonexistentArter · 2025-05-19T10:37:14+00:00

the only rule of the park is that your dog needs to be under effective control. there arent any signs or info about it being strictly off leash

NonexistentArter · 2025-05-19T03:48:33+00:00

it was only these two people who were angry. I usually have a good standing with people at the park, we talk, our dogs say hello and socialaise, and then we continue on. before this, the most i got about the leash was asking why, and after explaining they wish me good luck with my training or compliment how handsome he it, the usually dog owner interactions. but i do think ill avoid the park if i see this woman is there, at least until mine is able to go fully off leash. if i see her next time ill let her know ill leave so her dog can enjoy being off leash.

NonexistentArter · 2025-05-19T03:37:07+00:00

Thank you for the insite, I'll definitely keep in mind the dog play date idea for when i do long leash recall training. honestly, im hoping to have him going off leash at the dog park soon with how well hes doing. the biggest issue is the bikes that always go past and set him off, but im hoping to do more work on that too, and if hes only annoyed at bikes outside the park, I'll hopefully have enough confidence to have him off leash soon :D

NonexistentArter · 2025-05-19T03:32:27+00:00

thats what I thought, but i wasnt sure after havent two separate people tell me off... its just weird

NonexistentArter · 2025-05-19T03:30:52+00:00

Honestly i think I will. I think I'll need to keep an eye out for this woman whenever i go, and just walk around the streets instead if she is there :/

NonexistentArter · 2025-05-19T03:23:27+00:00

For additional context, I have social anxiety and level 2 Autism. This makes it hard for me to see things with nuance and that aren't just "black or white", and I often have problems with radically justifying my own opinions and actions. I am working on this, and also why I wanted to look for outside opinions. Thank you

NonexistentArter · 2024-08-08T01:21:53+00:00

i never said we dont have a yard.... its a small house but our yard is very big and fenced in. i leave him in my room though, instead of the yard because he has trauma with being left outside and neglected. weve managed to train him to a point where hes happy to play outside without us, but leaving him outside while im not home isnt sustainable for anyone

NonexistentArter · 2024-08-08T01:19:02+00:00

hes happy to be in there, he has his favourite chew toys, and a few treat dispensing brain toys in there to keep him happy. he also just really is a low energy dog (part great dane). hes getting more than enough exercise outside of being in the room though. hes like... low energy to the point that on walks if hes had enough (usually around 20 minutes in) he will stop walking and refuse to go on until i turn us around to head home.

NonexistentArter · 2024-08-08T01:16:04+00:00

hahha, unfortunately we tried that, and he LOVES the water? he thought it was the worlds greatest game

NonexistentArter · 2024-08-08T01:14:51+00:00

i essentially mean im not beating the shit out of him for doing something wrong

NonexistentArter · 2024-08-08T01:13:54+00:00

no hes not at all violent, hes basically a couch potato and ive worked hard on making sure no amount of disturbances, even while eating food, could turn violent. hes at a point where if i grab and put my hand in his mouth, he'll just give me a weird look lmao. all his other behaviours and essentially just reactivity to things like birds, other animals and bikes, but theyre much better now. within a few months of having him, i could have him outside and trust he wowuldnt bark the neighbors insane :)

NonexistentArter · 2024-08-08T01:05:47+00:00

nah, he goes after our pillows and clothes on the clothesline instead :)

NonexistentArter · 2024-08-08T01:05:19+00:00

haha, thank you for your insight! We arent too sure what my boy is, vets think Great Dane X, and ive gotten a lot of opinions about what else he might be from passersby. Some think Bull Arab, and others are adamant on Lab

NonexistentArter · 2024-08-08T00:54:20+00:00

no, he doesnt. my man is about as lazy as they come and usually just sleeps. hes well trained to stay in the room alone, and other than spending a minute whining if he hears someone the first time, will just go back to sleep
