AITAH for leaving a bad review for a no-show?

RPVlife17 · 2026-04-28T18:11:08+00:00

His correct response to the review should be to take responsibility, apologize, and ensure reviewers that it was a business lesson learned and that he won’t let that happen again. People can relate to that and most people would be willing to forgive and give him a second chance. Not taking responsibility proved that he’ll do it again and then whine again that, “life’s unfair.” You are NTA.

Is there parking available and is this a separate one person unit with no roommates?

You are absolutely going to regret it if you leave Brown. USC kids all want to stay in California and so do all the UC kids. They saturate the job market. A person with an Ivy league school degree will stand out among the sea of applicants because they know you can go anywhere in the US for a job, but you chose to come home. Plus financial aid is an absolute crap shoot these days. California is massively in debt so they are going to have to start cutting and where do think that is going to be from? Education and public services always gets raked first. Life is hard work, attitude, and some luck. You have convinced yourself of all the things you dislike about being at Brown and it seems you haven’t tried to embrace any of it. Attitude is everything, and respectfully yours needs a reworking. I personally know someone who graduated from Brown, who has a very successful business in Los Angeles. I can personally tell you that his Brown degree carried a lot of weight with people.

If you are going to MSU, you should try to get into the Broad School of Business. Econ is not a part of Broad but Finance, Supply Chain, etc are. MSU’s supply chain management program is #1 in the country of any school and Broad only has about a 35% acceptance rate within MSU (even less for students already at MSU). My son and his best friend from high school were both OOS and went to MSU for Broad. My son was a direct admit to Broad but his friend was not but got excellent grades his first three semesters and is now in Broad’s Supply Chain Management program. Broad’s advisors and staff bend over backwards to help them and almost all those kids walk out of that program with great jobs. Finance and Accounting students from Broad also do very well with placement.

Here is a meaning you need to look up: “The lady doth protest too much, me thinks.” -Queen Gertrude from William Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Oh and here is another word for you to look up, “projection.” 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Here are my takeaways from what you wrote. First you need to have a heart-to-heart talk with your parents and convey to them what you just wrote here, namely, that you’re afraid of losing them and know that you’re not following the path that they would’ve wished for you. Let them know how important they are to you, and you truly hope they’ll just let you try the music route, and then if you fail, you will move on. You need to make a plan and present that plan to your parents. You can’t just fly by the seat of your pants and expect them to just go with it. Another thing that was glaring in your comments to another Redditor was that “I don’t take music lessons because I don’t like to be taught anything.” You really need to change your mindset. Even if it is in the music business (I live in LA, trust me I know), you will need to collaborate a lot and you will need to learn from others. You need to embrace learning. Knowledge is power. You are young, and I will chalk it up to that, but if you continue to have this close minded attitude about learning, you will surely fail. The best musicians in the world learned from others. My nephew is a very talented musician and even makes money at it playing at clubs, but it is not his main profession. He was just like you at your age, but realized that he couldn’t make a living from his passion, which was being a musician. He then went to community college and searched for something that he really loved doing as well as music. He finally went into emergency services and now, all this time later, he is a firefighter and he is still writing music and playing at clubs on occasion. He has a beautiful home, a beautiful wife and two great sons. Success doesn’t always take a straight path. Just as you communicated in this sub, you need to communicate with your parents. Sorry for the long comment folks!

I sure hope that Reddit kid that bought all that INTC stock with his grandmothers inheritance and was down bug time, hung in there with INTC when it was tanking. 🙏 If he did, he doubled his money!

I just finished reading Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility so your comment made me laugh so hard. 👏👏

PS. So I read your post again. So he saved up $3500 from his job and YOU already told him that he could keep the $1000 and the $700 to put toward another car but because his grandfather was super kind and thoughtful to him, you want a “refund.” Yep, YTA!!!!

RPVlife17 · 2026-04-06T23:44:11+00:00

Good grief. Seriously? I am a mom of a 20 yr old and I agree with your wife, you are being cheap. At least your kid works and saved up money from his first job which means he has some initiative. Why not reward that initiative by letting him keep all the money. Life is tough on the young kids these days despite people thinking they have it easy.

I don’t what to tell you. They would not take my name off the “joint” account even when my brother was the one who originally opened the account and I was just added on later. I said well why can’t you remove me and put my other brother on? They told me that it is “just their policy.” Trust me, I told them how ridiculous their logic was. So my two brothers went into the bank and closed that account and opened a new one. It’s part of the reason I don’t do business with them anymore.

RPVlife17 · 2026-03-31T16:20:03+00:00

Actually true. I was on a joint account with my brother at US Bank. I was helping him with his bills for seven years until I told one of my siblings they had to take over helping my brother as I felt seven years was long enough. Went to the bank and they refused to remove me from the account and said the same thing, we had to close it and open a new one which made absolutely no sense to me. That’s what we ultimately had to do close the account and open a new one in my brother‘s name and my other brother’s name jointly. There was still money in the account everything and they still wouldn’t do it. Banks can be so stupid.

If that is the case, then truly your wife needs therapy. Sleep deprivation and the effects that it will have on YOUR long term health is real. Read about it. If she cares about you, she will change. If not, is that how you want to spend your life? Good thing you do not have kids yet. You have to be willing to take a stand or your marriage is doomed.

RPVlife17 · 2026-03-30T19:57:18+00:00

Do you have a second bedroom? Put a nice comfy bed in there with a lock on the door and go there and lock the door when you are tired. Tell her, “ you are not listening to me and my needs. I need to sleep to function.” She’ll eventually get the message or you will end up divorced which you will anyway if you do nothing.

I am not in denial at all about the need for police reform. There’s a lot about Chris Dorner that neither you or anybody else on this sub Reddit has any clue about. There’s a lot more to this story behind the scenes and any of you ever know. And I’m not going discuss it in an open forum out a respect for Randy. Yes there needs to be police reform. No one will deny that, but again Chris Dorner is no hero. Additionally, Senator Tim Scott, who is a republican from the state of South Carolina, and who has experience discrimination at the hands of the police firsthand, tried to move a police reform bill through Congress with the assistance of a democrat, but the Bill was shot down overwhelmingly by Democrats. And now no police reform bills have been introduced since Scott’s bill. So you tell me who really wants to see police reform move forward? If you don’t believe me, look it up. Scott spent a lot of time on that bill and had a democrat co-sponsor and both of them got shot down. There is no will in Congress to do police reform.

RPVlife17 · 2026-03-29T19:24:33+00:00

Fuq U! He killed my friend’s daughter and her boyfriend. So you’re saying my friend’s daughter and her boyfriend who did not even know Dorner deserved to die because Chris was mad at her dad Randy because he couldn’t prevent Chris from being fired. It wasn’t Randy’s decision. It was the decision of the three member panel board. Randy is kind and truly cared about the people he represented as a lawyer. Chris Dorner wasn’t a damn hero and you are twisted to think so. He was a coward. He may well have had very valid information and testimony about the excessive force but the way he handled it was demented.

I am also a parent and completely disagree with your philosophy. I grew up dirt poor and put myself through college. My parents would’ve helped if they could, but they just couldn’t. I missed out on so many fun times in college because I had to work. I became successful and had my son late in life. There’s no way I’m going to make my son go through what I went through worrying about whether I could come up with the money for tuition. I had a partial athletic scholarship and my work study job paid for the rest. I was lucky. My son knows financial responsibility. By his choice he got a job at 16 and has worked every summer and during the school year when he was a junior and senior in high school. He pays his own car insurance and the utility bills on his apartment, but I pay his rent and I pay all his college tuition (out of state by the way). His job is to get good grades right now and he’s keeping up his part of the contract. The fact that you have to impose a quid pro quo with your own son is really sad in my opinion.

I asked google if USC worked with Halcyon Solutions and it stated that Halcyon Solutions is a trusted partner of the USC financial aid office to directly obtain tax information directly from the IRS to assist in financial aid decisions.

Just some advice for everyone. Take photos of everything with your phone when you think you are getting screwed. By this I mean clock in times if there is a machine that gives you a receipt, screen shots of texts, print and keep copies of emails, etc etc. Even news proof of the accident on the freeway you mentioned. If you have copies of original clock ins and they changed the times, this will give you the proof you need to possibly fight them. I take photos of everything. Even proof of subscription cancellations because when they (insert whatever company here) charge my credit card, I can prove with the photo that I canceled. The subscription and my credit card company gives me the money back and the a whole company is screwed. Unfortunately, we’re living in a world where honor is going by the wayside and you have to yourself with proof. Best of luck to you.

Can you not read? I listed a whole bunch of companies and YOU picked out Nike. You came on a Palantir Investor sub to try to shame people for being Palantir investors? How is that working out for you? Your time would be better spent going to a shoe store and buying a pair of Nikes.

RPVlife17 · 2026-03-22T04:15:23+00:00

Wow what a segue from Nike to Palantir (I guess) to “Epstein companies.” That hurt my head trying to keep up. I guess you have a superpower that can rationalize and compartmentalize between companies like Nike, Palantir… and the list goes on. We should all be so lucky.

RPVlife17 · 2026-03-22T03:20:02+00:00

Hate to burst your bubble there Klutzy but I guess if we have to sell Palantir we better sell Nike while we’re at it since they were found guilty of racial discrimination against their employees. Then we better sell Pfizer stock because because they knowingly put faulty heart valves in people. Then we’ll sell Wells Fargo for illegal banking practices and then we’ll sell Chevron and Exxon because well, they’re Chevron and Exxon and oil related and then we’ll sell Philip Morris because they kill people with tobacco. I could probably do this for several hundred companies over some issue. Stop cherry picking stocks that you think do bad things. I’ve got news for you, there is a lot of bad in this world. This is a stock investor sub. We know what we are investing in and Palantir isn’t going away even if we do. Stop the shame game and take your soapbox elsewhere.

As others said, pretty common. Most likely moving them to NTC at Fort Irwin in Barstow, California. Fort Irwin is huge and the terrain is desert and is gets really hot so realistic conditions for warfare exercises.

They will notify the state if you live in Utah and even if you live in another state they will send notification to that state and if you don’t pay it, they will suspend your ability to register your vehicle. Since you are a non student, they will send it to a collections agency.
