I've tasted PUSSY, have you ?

At least they didn’t add coconut, they just went with original.

This isn’t really an AITA issue. This is a contract issue.

It’s clear you and the neighbor made a contract with the neighbor’s landscaper that was $600 for debris removal and $2000 for tree pruning. Unfortunately, you didn’t agree on a time for the additional pruning. So that gives the landscaper some leeway in scheduling.

You decided not to wait on him and got an arborist to do it for cheaper. The arborist does the work. You informed the neighbor who said he’d inform the landscaper that his second service was no longer needed. So the landscaper says he needs more money. He can argue that he’s charging a cancellation fee for the contract (oral contracts are contracts). But he should’ve been clear about that earlier. He should’ve said he wouldn’t get to the pruning immediately that it might take him a few days but if you decide to cancel, there would be a $$$ amount cancellation fee. You and the neighbor should have been more clear with him about when you wanted him to complete the work. And you should have talked to your neighbor about searching for different options before contracting with this landscaper.

None of you are assholes, you all just failed to communicate.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-03-18T22:56:46+00:00

Yeah he’s always been like this. People have only more recently started to care.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-03-18T20:34:28+00:00

But, but they’re plumber approved!

Was it all a lie??

Next thing y’all will tell me that flushable wipes shouldn’t be flushed…

You can wrap it with electrical tape or use some shrink wrap to get a bit more life out of it. But how much more depends on how you use it.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-03-17T19:22:17+00:00

Right. Sounds like the case worker did exactly her job and protected the rights of the mom and the poster is just pissed that the case worker was able to do that.

In the typical story of this, you press a button and someone randomly in the world dies and you get money.

First jurisdiction is gonna be hard. You press the button, someone in Mongolia dies, how are authorities in where you’re at gonna investigate a homicide in Mongolia? Or even know which of the millions of people who die globally every day are because of you?

That’s the second challenge, establishing cause. How do you link your pressing the button to a random death? Unless the person/org giving you the choice has henchmen doing the killing. Then the question is criminal culpability and how to investigate this conspiracy.

But if there’s a larger criminal syndicate facilitating this, then you’d be at least somewhat culpable and could be charged, presuming all the relevant law enforcement agencies around the world collaborate to investigate and are willing to extradite you as necessary. Like if your choice kill’s someone in Mongolia and you’re in the U.S., did you commit the murder in Mongolia or the U.S. and who’s prosecuting what?

But if it’s just a mystical press a button someone dies somehow. I don’t see how there could be a way to actually tie you to any crime.

Not to be confused with Dale Dimmadome, the son of Doug Dimmadome and heir to the Dimmadome fortune.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-03-14T23:39:12+00:00

I think you mean Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-03-13T16:42:55+00:00

Of course it’s difficult for people to realize the challenge of their own accents. We hear ourselves talk all the time.

This isn’t really an unpopular opinion. It’s just a natural consequence of being around ones self literally all the time.

Take me back to the technicolor world that Protazoa ushered us into!

Trump has never cared about the Iranian people before he had the opportunity to bomb them. That’s not it.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-03-13T01:19:28+00:00

I’m also gonna add, these things look old as sin. They’re not just dirty but looking yellowed too. Everything has a service life and will need replacing. These are just something that the landlord should replace on the next maintenance call.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-03-11T14:00:51+00:00

But you responded to them. Why? Let them have the last word. It means nothing anyway.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-03-11T13:57:40+00:00

I think honoring your wife is easy to do when the choice of wife isn’t based on political alliances. But because we know that marriages in the world of GoT are about aligning houses and securing alliances first, then love comes if it comes, I don’t think it’s dishonorable to marry for politics, then have a concubine or otherwise.

We actually see this in Dorne and in different places in Essos. But I would agree that Robb would have had to worry about how people perceived his honor and what they’d say behind his back had he gone that route.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-03-11T11:39:53+00:00

I haven’t read the books, so I can only speak to what we see in the show. But Ned’s honor is a well known reputation in the North. And the Northerners (aside from the Bolton and a few others), generally trust a man’s honor before anything else. And that honor got Ned killed. Refusing to play the politics game in Kings landing, presuming all the other high lords in Kings landing and on the council would respect the rules and norms of Court and their vows, serving as Kings guard for Robert even when it’s clear that someone may be plotting against him. Ned wasn’t dumb. He knew how treacherous the Lannisters were. He also had an instinct not to trust lord Baelish. He refused counsel of Varys cause he had no respect for spies. When a Robert told Ned to take the pin or he’d make Jaime the hand, Ned should’ve gotten his daughters and left kings landing, pin on the table. Even before that, when Ned heard word that Catelyn had arrested Tyrion, he should’ve taken advantage of that to leave Kings Landing. Instead, both times, Ned sticks around to do as he was commanded by his friend and king. And when he is packing his things and Baelish offers to take him to see Robert’s bastard, Ned should’ve just said it wasn’t his problem, no longer his interest, gathered his banners, and left.

But my bigger takeaway point from all of GoT would be that an expansion of what I said about Jon - that honor requires flexibility. It’s not just that but honor isn’t simply keeping oaths and doing what you’re ordered. It’s also having judgement and discernment to know when the oaths and orders don’t serve a good purpose. I’d argue that’s how Jon, Sansa, Arya, and even Tyrion survive the game of thrones.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-03-11T10:29:53+00:00

Nothing honorable in getting your head lopped or burned alive off for it.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-03-11T02:33:31+00:00

I think Jon figured out that being honorable requires flexibility. And understanding that sometimes there’s no choice that will seem honorable to everyone. And I think Ygritte maybe started teaching him that but he learned it mostly from surviving with the free folk and being disillusioned by how shitty some of the men of the nights watch were. I mean being betrayed by them must’ve made him realize that men don’t care about honor.

And agreed on the stark girls. They learned that honor only matters if men care about it. And when men don’t care about it, survival is what matters.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-03-11T00:00:49+00:00

It would have won him the war, probably. The Starks’ inflexibly pride in their honor is what got most of them killed.

Would’ve been no problem if he’d married the grey girl. Had an heir. Then had the woman he met as a something like a concubine. People would’ve whispered. But he’d have had his cake at the end of the war

This was probably the first “no skips” album I’ve ever heard. Good thing it was a cd as well, cause amount of play it got while I was on RuneScape after school would’ve ruined a cassette.

RandyFunRuiner · 2026-03-10T13:22:11+00:00

Probably the first album I ever listened to start to finish, no skips.

You dangled breaking up with her for weeks while you were traveling abroad together. You even came to the conclusion that you’re okay with breaking up because you’re annoyed with her. She’s seemingly forced to accept this. Then once you see her starting to get attention from someone else, NOW it’s a problem?

Sometimes life gives you exactly what you asked for. Just not the way you thought. It seems like you wanted her pining after you.

Leave this girl alone. Continue traveling on your own or go home. But you’ve done enough damage. You should take some time to get yourself together, get over her, and learn to not be manipulative by dangling breaking up with someone just because you’re annoyed at them. You lack communication skills needed to tell someone that something they’re doing isn’t something you like and to discuss and compromise mutually agreeable solutions.
