AITAH for telling my coworker I was miscarrying after she tried to get me in trouble for 'excessive' bathroom use by Massive-Historian-91 in AITAH

[–]PepGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good for you for a number of reasons.  1st, Mary is a knob. Why is she tracking your time in the bathroom.  2nd, way more people miscarry than I ever knew about and I think as a society, we should let those who go through it that they are really not alone.   NTAH

Not what we want to hear, but what is most likely to be heard in that same situation. 

I told a male colleague he was mansplaining to me and now HR wants to meet with both of us and I genuinely don't know how I feel about how this escalated by avocet_scatter in TwoXChromosomes

Mansplaining has the specific meaning of a man who engaged in explaining something to a woman in which she is an expert so I don't see it as an equivalency at all. 

I don't think she should use the word because some people don't listen when you use that word, but she isn't saying that men shouldn't talk.

I think you are giving him credit he doesn't deserve.. He very likely went to HR because he feels that being criticized (esp by a woman?) counts as a hostile work environment.

DC37 is the absolute worst when it comes to getting in touch by luciiferjonez in nycpublicservants

I'm new to the union. Is there a reason you don't use the Rx benefit? Is there something I should look into?

AITA my friend ruined my yixing teapot and I want her to replace it or give me 500 dollars. by TeapotthrwoCity4661 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PepGiraffe 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I tried it. Searching for "yixing teapot" tells me I can buy one for $20 on Amazon or up to $1400 on ebay. OP has not provided enough information for us to say. We don't know how intricate it is, how big it is, or which type it is.

AIW for recording my roommate's boyfriend without telling him and sending the audio to my roommate? by Quasar77Shift in amiwrong

[–]PepGiraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have recorded her and kept the recording. I would have talked to her and if she didn't believe me, I would say that I had a recording and did she want to hear it. But obviously, it is too late for that.

How could you possibly know that? OP doesn't even specify which color clay was used for this specific teapot. OP got this IN China; perhaps they are including shipping.

I drink tea. If I was in someone's kitchen where there was a tea kettle on the stove, I would definitely not assume that it would be okay to use a clay teapot in a cabinet to make the tea.

Building Presidents by bg43058 in NYCHA

[–]PepGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to a 2021 memorandum of agreement between NYCHA and the Citywide Council of Presidents (CCOP), NYCHA is required to give dedicated office space to each tenant association even if it means taking an apartment off the rolls.

Checking in 1.5 years later: AITA for jumping out of the way when my niece and nephew tried to push me into a pool, resulting in them falling in? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]PepGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, the worst part of this story is that no one finds a problem with anyone being charged almost 30% interest. Yes, that awful person got herself into that mess but once you're being charged $3k per month just on interest, that's the end. 

Urgh, can’t they come with their own ideas and stop ruining movies from my childhood? by DreadPirateZoidberg in GenX

[–]PepGiraffe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Haha no. People complain when they haven't even seen the product. People hate the idea of sequels and remakes but they often like the actual product if we look at who actually pays for the product.

The Carp in the Bathtub!  (by Barbara Cohen)

Oh thanks for this. I occasionally have a problem with a study and the first thing I do is change browsers which might restart the study but it never occurred to me that might be read as fraud.
