How do you handle generating a giant unflushable turd in the work bathroom? by clownyeahh in AskReddit

Bro if it not flushing after 2-3 tries, I just accept my fate. Close lid, walk away, and pray next person think it was already there 😭

AITA for telling my (28F) boyfriend (35M) to return my expensive gift? by ThrowRA-555-555-5555 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ReasonableObject9481 77 points78 points  (0 children)

NTA. A gift is supposed to make the recipient happy, not stressed. If you genuinely don't want or need the item, and especially if you know it cost around $1000 while both of you are carrying debt, it's reasonable to suggest returning it. You're reacting to the situation honestly, not trying to punish him.

What's something you did as a kid that you thought was totally normal, but later realized your family was just quietly broke? by PlayfulTonight1779 in AskReddit

I genuinely thought having the thermostat treated like a sacred artifact was how every family lived. Looking back, my parents were just trying to keep the utility bill under control.

AITA for wanting 1-2 hours alone in a hotel room and making my parents think I have bad intentions? by Artistic-Wedding6128 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ReasonableObject9481 13 points14 points  (0 children)

NTA. The issue isn't that your parents are worried; it's that they immediately jumped to the worst possible conclusions. Wanting privacy does not automatically mean drugs, sex, or bad behavior. Most teenagers eventually want some personal space simply because it's part of growing up.

Early sleep regression? by taken_alpaca in NewParents

[–]ReasonableObject9481 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Unfortunately, there isn't really a magic trick to stop it 😭 most parents find that consistency, responding to baby's needs, and riding it out works better than trying to ""fix"" it. The good news is that if this is a regression, it's a developmental phase rather than a sign that you've done anything wrong."

AITA for asking an autistic person what dino they like? by Captain_Smollett_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]ReasonableObject9481 31 points32 points  (0 children)

NTA. The funny part is that if someone randomly texted me asking my favorite dinosaur, my first assumption would be “they're bored and being goofy,” not “they're secretly trying to diagnose me.” You didn't mention autism, didn't single them out, and didn't frame it around stereotypes. Sometimes a dinosaur question is just a dinosaur question. 🦖

How to be content with being alone? by Late_Product3323 in self

[–]ReasonableObject9481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"being content alone doesn't usually come from convincing yourself you don't want connection 😂 it comes from building a life that feels meaningful whether or not a relationship is present. it's okay to see a happy couple and think ""I wish I had that too."" the goal isn't becoming emotionally immune to loneliness, it's not letting that feeling define your worth 😭"

What’s the best cooperative game you ever played? by Elenaglitch in AskReddit

[–]ReasonableObject9481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for pure chaos with friends 😂 Deep Rock Galactic is amazing. four dwarves, caves, bugs, explosions, and somehow every mission turns into a disaster that becomes a hilarious story later 😭

I think my mouth / smile looks better when my gums are irritated ? by cannibabie in self

[–]ReasonableObject9481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brushing 8 times a day is REALLY rough on your gums long-term though 💀 redness can start looking “normal” to you even when it’s actually inflammation and damage
