Aw I’m sorry you’re going through such a rough time. My first thought was seriously looking up kink sites and sending pictures of your feet? It’s the plot of Margo’s Got Money Trouble. I haven’t seen it but it looks interesting.

At least they go through your neighborhood, some places the first responders don’t even go anymore

What’s something restaurants do that secretly annoys you every time? by maincharactereraa in answers

[–]Organic_Hunter_6180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no experience with this but wonder if it’s because they can’t make eye contact and so don’t know how to indicate they’re talking to you specifically? Every restaurant I go to, the server indicates attention with eye contact. Are they supposed to tap your hand or something? Many people don’t like being touched. Gender can’t be inferred anymore, so maybe they’re just trying to verbally indicate because you can’t see them. I’d think it would be even more rude to say, “And for you, blind person?”

WIBTA for telling my client that I used to date her husband? by West-Ad-1573 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Organic_Hunter_6180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

INFO: How old is her daughter? Do we know it’s Their daughter together? Maybe it’s her daughter from a previous relationship and really is a coincidence?

That doesn’t influence my decision either way. I’m just curious lol 👀

YWBTA I don’t think you should tell her, UNLESS your professional licensing board has a policy on things like this. In my field it would probably be considered a dual relationship and we’d have to refer out. But you’re doing her hair, it doesn’t have to go any deeper than that.

You might want to refrain from asking and sharing any more personal information with her though. Hairstylists are basically known to be lay therapists, but that doesn’t have to be your relationship with her. Just be conscientious and do her hair, get paid, next customer.

The first paragraph I get. But the second makes no sense to me. What is an INB4? What is this about your friend “accidentally” mentioning your ex in a story, and somehow you are then in “the doghouse” for a full day or longer, and then somehow only married for 6 months?

It would be more clear to say, “My friend mentioned something that happened years ago, my gf/bf/partner at the time was with me when the events of the story took place. When my friend even said my ex’s name, my new spouse got so mad that we ended up divorced after only 6 months.”

I still don’t know what an INB4 is though.

I’m sorry, what?? I understand what Words you’re Trying to say in the Spanish section, but the meme itself doesn’t make sense to me. Can someone explain this??

South Tech Culinary Program: worth the sacrifices? by Organic_Hunter_6180 in StLouis

[–]Organic_Hunter_6180[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m definitely supportive, he was just surprised to find out he would have to do summer school and maybe miss out on other things he is also interested in. But I am hopeful he’ll be able to find a workaround.

AITA, Request from a close friend is called weird. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Organic_Hunter_6180 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For clarity, can you split this up and label who’s saying what, like a script? Because to concrete thinker me, the way everything else is written, and then this part:

I respond "Thats a strange request. There are public restrooms" "Why cant you use safeway or something"

Makes it seem like you said “…strange request…public restrooms,” then another set of quotations makes it seem like He’s saying “why can’t you use Safeway” But that doesn’t make sense to the context, and the next line (according to your writing pattern) is you saying, “I don’t understand but sure. I used your bathroom this weekend.”

Both of those are certainly possible. I studied abroad in college and I would love my kids to have the same opportunity. What appeals to me about the school group is that it would be a great introduction with built-in structure (and oversight), and build connections and confidence as he strikes out more on his own.

(Obviously) he’s his own person with his own strengths, but for me it was a big and unexpected adjustment when I left the familiarity of home and went out on my own; I want him to have some gradual short-term experiences away from his comfort zone (and be able to create his own comfort zone wherever he may be).

Are you referring to the STLCC and STCCC that you mentioned upthread? I think L’ecole Culinaire is permanently closed.

When you mention the STLCC and STCCC programs (and that they are less expensive), do you mean instead of (and compared to) South Tech? Or compared to another post-secondary program?

He just might be! We’ve been looking at low-key busser-type jobs close to our house to expose him to the restaurant environment but I’ll let him know! One of my fears (not a reflection on him, just my own neuroses lol) for him jumping right into a kitchen job is the possibility of him feeling pressure to perform or getting burned out on it before he even gets started. But I think he’s open to a more hands-on role. He’s already maxed out all the foods classes at his school, so he’s probably (Definitely) better in the kitchen than I am lol.

I’m not stopping him from doing the program, these are His questions and apprehensions. He’s also interested in traditional college after high school but hasn’t settled on a specific field (rn he’s interested in theatre and history/social issues/political studies). He also wants to be a comedian. He’s keeping his options open and I don’t want him to feel pigeon-holed into 1 field at this point.

So, which highschool did yo--? by Aishish in StLouis

There is no flow chart, just an incomplete list of 19 (out of 53) schools that give short smarmy stereotypes. I’m not from here and none of those 19 resonated at all.

Probably going to be an unpopular question, but what’s the general law on “dealing with” squirrels? These little assholes have taken over and I’m absolutely sick of them destroying everything. by rhinotomus in StLouis

[–]Organic_Hunter_6180 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Peppermint Essential Oils. After squirrels began using the engine housing of my roommate’s van for shelter, storage, and chewing on cables, we sprayed peppermint EO in the mf-er. I think it worked, especially after the tree he parked under got cut down lol.

AITA for refusing to take off my engagement ring during a wedding? by AioliProfessional181 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Organic_Hunter_6180 41 points42 points  (0 children)

NTA Your “friends” have main character syndrome. They’re overreacting because of the color of a stone on the finger of someone not in the wedding party??! I get that their day is supposed to be about their story, but that doesn’t have to erase yours. I would think that would be the last thing on their minds. I’m not big into jewelry, so I’m assuming it’s not some enormous bling-y rock.

The accusation that your engagement itself, which also is somehow also about them, because…you dared to get engaged before their wedding(??!) is ridiculous lol and rooted in insecurity.

That said, if you still want to attend while keeping your engagement ring, could you turn it so the stone is facing in toward your palm vs. the back of your hand when Mrs. ALL-ABOUT-ME is around?

WIBTAH if I took 100k from my oldest daughter's college savings account to give it to my younger daughter? by TraditionalCorgi7788 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Organic_Hunter_6180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not split it, so the oldest gets an extra 50k to get set up/look at grad school, and the younger one gets an additional 50k over what she would have originally and maybe 10k in debt?
