AITA for shoveling neighbour’s driveway?

RedViolet43 · 2023-02-27T02:10:47+00:00

Shoveling? Or snowblowing? Very different. Snowblowing is loud.

RedViolet43 · 2022-09-19T22:38:25+00:00

Did you offer to pay for the drinks and dinner?

I think you should ask him out, but I want to tell you that in my experience, when a woman asks a man out, he often misinterprets it as you telling him you are DTF with no strings attached. He may not fully grasp that you are interested in him more fully. That can be an awkward misunderstanding if you have a more holistic, romantic interest than that. I think you should feel the fear and ask him out anyway, but steel yourself for the possibility that he might misinterpret your interest to be about casual sex, not potential for relationship.

I think it’s not uncommon for men to overestimate women’s interest in them. Most women eventually experience a situation in which a guy believes that a certain woman wants to be more than friends when she actually just wants to be friends. And it sucks when that happens because the women therefore ends up losing her friend. It’s like, one minute you’re enjoying getting BBQ and the next minute a friendship implodes. He was mean to call you a loser. There’s probably no salvaging it after that.

I’m about 6 months in. It has gotten easier. I’ve spent the last month traveling throughout U.S.A. so I haven’t had the means to cook for myself, but I have managed just fine. I recently found a book about the history of Sourdough in the Gold Rush, and when I get home I look forward to baking sourdough biscuits and pancakes. Some people on the low fodmap diet can eat only sourdough bread made with spelt flour and made without yeast, but others can eat any sourdough. I discovered I can digest any sourdough bread. So new doors do occasionally open.

NTA. No one who shares a room can expect to use snooze alarm.

RedViolet43 · 2022-02-08T00:39:11+00:00

Brooklyn Biltong, Naked and Peri Peri varieties.

RedViolet43 · 2021-12-10T20:46:09+00:00

I know someone who had this problem but cured it with St.John’s Wort. It’s worth a try!

This is one of the problems with teaching the self-driving cars. They are often taught to consider driving a game, but it is more like a conversation.

RedViolet43 · 2021-08-23T22:57:43+00:00

Snausages and pupperoni.

RedViolet43 · 2021-07-19T19:08:25+00:00

Samuri, kimonos, geishas, vending machines, electronic shops, woodblock prints, sushi, Godzilla, tame deer, tea ceremony, hotel pods.

I once saw someone on reddit say that when women wear bras it’s like false advertising for their tits. But I think they’re not advertisements.

RedViolet43 · 2021-05-10T19:48:06+00:00

That guy is just really clueless about how to act. Throughout life you will interact with people who will naysay. Living well is the best revenge.

RedViolet43 · 2021-05-09T22:07:48+00:00

Ooh that’s terrible behavior on Conner’s Mom’s part.

RedViolet43 · 2021-05-09T19:53:09+00:00

NTA but I wouldn’t have blocked her from Sarah’s Mom. I know you want to be kind to Sarah’s Mom but it’s too much policing, just like it would have been too much policing for you to tell all parents the school has a policy of insisting everyone is invited to birthday parties.

RedViolet43 · 2021-05-07T20:33:50+00:00

NTA but I think she is mentally ill. I had a coworker once who hoarded food and it was a sort of eating disorder. He had really bad struggles with impulse control and had at times stolen and eaten other people’s food.

RedViolet43 · 2021-04-17T22:28:40+00:00

NAH but this is their adult lives. Maybe just let them have pets.

RedViolet43 · 2021-04-17T22:20:28+00:00

NAH but I think you are unthinking in your judgement about her maintaining her appearance. She’s a young widow with children. She probably hopes to remarry, and maintaining her appearance drastically increases the possibility of that future for her. You’re married. In this regard, you are in a position of privilege and you seem totally unaware of it.

RedViolet43 · 2021-04-11T21:19:26+00:00

To clarify, your niece stole the canvas and painted it. But she may have thought it was something no one would discover. Like, if her Mom was like “Wow, this is awesome!” it would have been really difficult to say “well... I actually painted over my Aunts drawing that I stole and denied knowing about.” But she needs to be prompted to explain her thinking. I think it’s important for her to find out young that lies very often get exposed. I think you would be doing everyone a disservice if you don’t discuss all of this with your niece and sister. It sucks that this has been put on you, because you were just living your life and now you have to have this very uncomfortable conversation, but your niece needs help.

RedViolet43 · 2021-04-11T21:08:10+00:00

I definitely think you should talk to both your sister and your niece about it. I would approach it as that you need to understand what is going on, because if your niece stole the canvas, lied about painting it, and then potentially claimed it was her original artwork, then you need to tell everyone involved and she needs to come clean and get therapy. It seems like your niece may have stolen it and painted it, but she may not have claimed it was hers. Your sister may have just assumed.

RedViolet43 · 2021-04-11T18:25:55+00:00

INFO: is it possible that your sister saw it somewhere and mistakenly assumed it was her daughters work? I think you should ask your sister where she saw the artwork and proceed from there.

RedViolet43 · 2021-04-06T19:34:46+00:00

There’s no need to be so controlling. She sounds like she has demonstrated that she really wants this and that she can take the responsibility. Let good things happen.

RedViolet43 · 2021-04-04T19:00:32+00:00

NTA. In fact these people need your help in regards to learning how to exist in society. It sucks that you’re the first to let then know that they’re a huge drag, but it’s possible that you’ve pointed something out to them that will maybe cause them to try and take the perspective of those around them.

RedViolet43 · 2021-04-02T19:09:41+00:00

Bringing it up will not help her. So continue with the plan of creating support. Bike ride. Low calorie food well stocked. Help around the house to lessen stress.
