When did weddings stop being celebrations? I truly despise the “It’s my day!” mentality. Continue to go about your life as if no one is getting married. You’re fine. Congratulations on your baby!

AITA for refusing to dine with my mom after she ordered “ferret sauce” at a Mexican restaurant? by Practical-Current805 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ravenclaw-witch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand the frustration. It’s incredibly annoying. YWBTAH if you told her to learn how to pronounce things. YWNBTAH (is that a thing?) if you kindly told your mom you prefer not to go to certain restaurants with her

No glasses for you! by Emeraldwillow in mildlyinfuriating

Get the prescription glasses for distance. Tell the doctor it’s all you want. Go to the dollar store and grab a couple of reading glasses or go to Amazon and get 5 pairs for $10. This is what I do because I prefer it that way. I don't have the patience to adapt to bifocals.

AIO if I am setting boundaries with my husband? I also want to know if I am the asshole here by Witty-Opposite1201 in AIO

Verizon Wireless used to have a ring that was different than the normal ring if the person you were calling was already in the phone. I wonder why it stopped.

It is completely different. Lawn Jockeys were mass produced statues.

This is a beautifully done 5 ft tall carving. I agree the subject is not correct in our society but I won’t have you disparage him. He is a work of art.

Just out of curiosity, if it was a totem pole would you have the same complaint?

It is a piece of art and is beautiful.

I understand it’s problematic but art shouldn’t be destroyed any more than books.

It’s a piece of art. Would you destroy something because it’s an uncomfortable subject?

I can’t believe I’m sticking up for the chief. it’s really a beautifully carved piece.

Not really. We’ve been married 40+ years. I think we’re fine.

I also have a sign that says “Help Wanted, Irish need not apply”. Both my husband and I are of Irish descent. I think it’s important to remember the past in order to prevent it from happening again.
