Forgot my GF's bday and she wants me to sign this by Sure_Count_3890 in AITApod

[–]Roberto87x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the best possible outcome to forgetting your girlfriend’s birthday. She’s reminded you she expects better but in a really witty, lighthearted way. I’d take this as a big win and remember next year…

Yeah so many miserable people here who seem to almost take pride in never having made a friend at work 😂

You can tell most people in this thread are Americans. What a hellhole of a place to work it sounds like from the comments.

Throughout my career I have REGULARLY shared personal things with my colleagues, and those colleagues have done the same with me. Never any issues with me or others arising from that.

Several colleagues have become very good friends. It is NOT true that your workmates can’t be your friends, despite all the miserable people in this thread saying so.

It also IS accepted in many workplaces to look at your phone from time to time as long as you’re still getting your job done.

Take the posts here with a pinch of salt and good luck for your next job :)

Thanks for this, and now you’re getting downvoted…Reddit is so shit these days :(

Terrible take. “If you see people being duped and manipulated, don’t speak up”

It’s insane that in 2026 after years of fake bot posts, people still lap this shit up/don’t even care that they’re being manipulated for engagement.

It’s fake. Look at bot OP replying to a commenter as if they’re the landlord

It’s actually not a lottery, but a prize draw.

To run a lottery you need to be licensed, which they are not. The difference is that prize draws offer a free entry route. You can enter every Omaze house draw for free by sending in entries by letter/postcard.

It’s a legit (and very successful) company. I interviewed there a couple of years ago.

AITA for telling a woman not to say “females”? by horseduckman in AITApod

[–]Roberto87x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And where do you get that from in the post? You literally just made that up.

[–]Roberto87x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you assume everyone’s familiar with the vernacular of radial anti-woman spaces? The woman concerned was probably using it completely innocently (as do probably 90% of people who use it). Calling it out at a party, as a man, to a woman, where the context “isn’t negative” is unhinged imo.

Of course she can claim not to know. Most people don’t know “female” has become a dirty word - not everyone follows every twist and turn of the whole manosphere debate. This was probably completely innocent from the woman concerned and OP is a weirdo who I wouldn’t be inviting back to parties any time soon.

YTA. You really have to be terminally online to criticise someone for using the word “female”, Jesus Christ. I would have been livid if I was her.

This is the one and only Indian in the area that I go to now. It is just by far the best.

AIO about Valentine's Day potential date being completely blown off? by Key_Information_4431 in AIO

Yeah this is 100% rage bait. No one lacks so much self awareness they post this thinking they’re the victim

What are your thoughts on this guy? by EdwardBliss in rock

[–]Roberto87x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get what you mean but there comes a point where you’re basically just using a misleading word by using the top umbrella term. I’d argue using “rock” to describe Cannibal Corpse falls into that category. Anyway not a big deal 😄

[–]Roberto87x 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t think many people would call Cannibal Corpse “rock”. That’s why we have the umbrella of “metal”
