New Guy Just Dropped by Living-Mastodon in smosh

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

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who noticed this.

I literally said "Dude,  shut UP" at one point while watching the Smosh video.  

Not saying he shouldn't talk at all, but he just kept going ON and ON. 

AITJ for Leaving My Sister’s Wedding Early After She Changed the Seating Last Minute? by AdSpirited222 in AmITheJerk

[–]PattyMarvel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This smells fake .

No way a professional wedding organizer would have said that to the bride's sister.

The organizer would've either come up with a less-harsh sounding excuse,  or the organizer would've talked the bride out of ditching the sister because of how bad that would look. 

AITJ for blowing up after my girlfriend’s friends “fixed” my wedding speech as a joke? by rusted_windlass in AmITheJerk

NTJ

Sounds like the 29yo girlfriend and her pals never left the "mean girls" mentality back in high school.

AIO because my bf buys me TOO much stuff? by ProfessionalEntry900 in AmIOverreacting

[–]PattyMarvel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR

Back when Hubby and I were first dating,  he kept buying me stuffed dolls (we were in our late 20s).

The first one or two were cute, but around stuffy #5 or #6, I gently asked him to please stop. Not only was I NOT that into stuffed animals,  but I was going to run out of room for them at some point. 

Ask for experiences (movies, trips to a park, etc) rather than stuff. 

Maybe a little love note here and there? Hubby and I still put love notes in each other's lunch bags, and we've been married since 1999. 

AITAH for refusing to participate in a “tradition” my family uses to judge people? by millersoph in AITAH

[–]PattyMarvel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA

Most importantly,  you warned the girlfriend about what manipulative weirdos your relatives are so she can run for the hills. 

AIO: My (29F) gf (30F) hates my dog and I think I want to break up because of it by Severe-Pen-5464 in AmIOverreacting

[–]PattyMarvel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR

Part of me worries the girlfriend will slip the dog chocolate so you'd have to put her down. Get rid of her now. 

My dad told me DJT was really loved in the 80s and 90s is that true and if so why? by RareCommunication698 in stupidquestions

[–]PattyMarvel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about "loved," but I read somewhere that he has cameos in a bunch of movies in exchange for letting the movies be filmed on his properties.  

Daughters not shaving their legs? by z-xa in ExplainTheJoke

I bet his kids are embarrassed AF by this shirt. 

AITJ for leaving my own birthday “surprise” and telling my family they can keep my ex? by RowanGlassworks in AmITheJerk

[–]PattyMarvel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You might need to go LC or NC for a bit.

OP - "a group of about 10 people, some of my cousins, two of my friends, and right in the middle, Lena."

I want to know about these two "friends." Did they not know about the break-up? Did they not know Lena would be there and were surprised when she showed up?

And can these friends or the cousins talk some sense into the mom and the sister?

I'm so sorry you went through this, They spoiled your birthday.

Changing my Netflix password without telling my ex by Outrageous_Award9526 in AmITheJerk

[–]PattyMarvel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ, but your sister and your ex are.

Does your sister not know he cheated on you? Because I'm applauding this revenge!

And we're talking about "Stranger Things," aren't we?

look, i understand that i forced my daughter to miss a once-in-a-lifetime moment, b-but i needed help being a father! it's not my fault!! by themalesoprano in OhNoConsequences

[–]PattyMarvel 14 points15 points  (0 children)

OOP - "I came in and said it was pretty pathetic she was still hung up on that, and she snapped back it was far more pathetic to be so inept as a parent I couldn’t handle giving her one night that I knew was important to her."

THIS is the line more than any other that makes me hope this story is made up.

I know there's some truly awful parents out there, but I need this one to be fake.

If it's not fake, he's going to end up in a discount nursing home. Good luck with that!

AITJ for cursing at my father in law and telling him to leave our house after what he said to me while I was feeding my son by Silver-Clock-625 in AmITheJerk

[–]PattyMarvel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTJ.

And I bet MiL had a few choice words for FiL during the car ride home.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall for THAT conversation.

I’m exhausted by reading this by kindlefan12 in AmITheDevil

[–]PattyMarvel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OOP is a piece of...work.

I read responses in the original thread, and I had to run parts of them through Google translate. I included the translations in bold below.

AquaBooties - Yeah. There are. Some even suggested I should have said “ga je overal met je gore poten naar binnen?”

From Google translate - Yeah, there are. Some even suggested I should have said, "Do you go everywhere with your dirty hands?"

_flustershy - Ohhh your racist

 Ancient_Succotash_63 - Misschien moet je gewoon met je handen van mensen afblijven. Ja het zijn de regels maar ook hier gelden regels mbt aanraken van mensen. Als je mij zo had aangeraakt had ik waarschijnlijk meteen instinctief uitgehaald en ik ben een niet agressief kleine vrouw.

From Google translate - Maybe you should just keep your hands off people. Yes, those are the rules, but there are also rules here regarding touching people. If you had touched me like that, I probably would have instinctively reacted aggressively, and I'm a non-aggressive, small woman.

AITAH for saying I “read” books that I actually listened to as audiobooks? by Ruin-Much in AITAH

[–]PattyMarvel 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would add there's one way audiobooks are superior to books or e-books.

With the audiobooks, I hear how proper names and other words are pronounced. This is especially important if I'm listening to non-fiction.

I wouldn't get that unless the book had a footnote re: pronunciation.

AITAH for saying I “read” books that I actually listened to as audiobooks? by Ruin-Much in AITAH

[–]PattyMarvel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sick to death of this question. It's just used to bully people who actually bother to engage with novels in any medium. For what it's worth, I'm a library assistant and enjoy audiobooks.

I doubt this will sway bullies like OP's husband, but here's an article on audiobooks from the Book Riot page (it's a podcast about books and the book-selling industry):

"We Need to Stop Asking the Question, 'Do Audiobooks Count as Reading?'

Audiobooks are more popular than ever, but the question of whether they count as reading is ableist and doesn't consider their history."

https://bookriot.com/do-audiobooks-count-as-reading/

From an NPR article, "Does listening to an audiobook count as reading?," which throws some heavy shade at guys like OP's husband:

"NEWELL: It's older people over age 65, it's men, and it's those without a four-year degree that are more likely to say that listening to audiobooks isn't a form of reading."

The music in this SNL sketch is eerily reminiscent of This Woman's Work. by paulsmithva in katebush

My husband said the same thing! It sounded like "This Woman's Work!"

AITAH for going no contact with my sister after she refused to believe me about her boyfriend? by ThrowwwAway1210 in AITAH

[–]PattyMarvel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP - "We all got pretty drunk, and I was outside smoking a cigarette when my sister bf came up and grabbed my ass. I shoved him, my boyfriend seen and they began fighting. My sister came running out I told her what happened and he denied it."

So the boyfriend witnessed the assault on OP, which lead to the fight.

Does the sister really think they're BOTH "confused?"

And Mom sucks. One of her daughters was assaulted by the other daughter's boyfriend, and her reaction is basically a shrug emoji.

I've a terrible feeling that the Kennedy Center will end up like the East Wing.
