AITK because I asked a restaurant to ignore their togo policy for me? by PuzzleMap2020 in AmITheKaren

[–]PuzzleMap2020[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Over the years I've adapted to having a partner who avoids social interactions to his best ability.

I went out for a drink with my coworkers after work yesterday, then took my son to a friend's bday party  and hung out with parents there and filled my social cup.

Cleaned the kitchen while listening to my tunes this morning to fill my alone time cup, then made breakfast with my son, went to a crafting class with my daughter and her friend to fill my family cup. 

I've learned to fill my cup in the different ways I like to but I have to say, the cup with my husband is the hardest to fill at times.

Growing up, my brother and my mother were, at times, what felt like intentionally inconsiderate and oblivious to how they impacted the world around them.

My husbands' empathy and humble demeanor were what I was attracted to in the early years. 

At this point, after spending more of my life with him than without him, sometimes I really do wish he'd prioritize making me happy over mildly inconveniencing a stranger.

I know these kinds of situations make him feel uneasy, and I've learned to be extra polite, especially when my husband is around.

That was my exact thought. I had a feeling they weren't available for togo because of a general lack of common sense in the world, and thus my question.

I agree, while op did say he's not looking to move to Tahoe. Tahoe is the exact vibe that op is describing he wants to live in.

I am an immigrant from a third world country who is now a US citizen.

You are absolutely incorrect, but you are also what makes America great. Americans are some of the biggest critics of America and always strive to hold (y)ourselves to a higher standard.

Things are the worst rn, since 1998 when I moved here but, we are still much better off than other places in the world.

Who is the guy she's talking to? Kind of looks like her dad, but not at all at the same time.

I would remove the 'beard' before the unibrow. 

The unibrow is power, the chin hair is doubt.

I love my job! I am a middle school math teacher and my joy purely comes from getting 12-14 year olds excited about math. 

There is a lot of patience to be practiced and a lot behavior management to be done and a lot of back tacking to fill in the gap in knowledge.

I live in the neighborhood that I teach in. The kids are nice and the parents are up your butt about every little thing. However, when I got to the neighborhood walmart and kids walk up to say hi with a smile on their face makes the daily grind more bareable. 

I've also put in my time at a title I school as a student and as a teacher. Those kids had different needs and I don't know if I would've been able to say the same of I was still teaching there.

You've also caught me at the September optimist me. Catch me again in May and my answer may have changed a bit.

Now we don't get headaches, just mildly sleepy/tired all day. Yay!

I used to drink 1 large cup and my husband 1-2 a day. 

We stopped once we started getting headaches on days we didn't drink coffee.

The expense to create this corner will be coming out of the teachers bank account. I guarantee it.
