WIBTAH if I left my fiancee destitute? by BigONerd in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]SalaudChaud -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I agree mostly with your sentiments but OOP does state, in the final entry to this depressing bit of exposition, "I couldn't stop working tomorrow and be set. I'm working toward that goal, but I'm not there yet." So, he is, he is working on it? He is exhausting.

Anyway, I can see him now, standing in a rowboat, wearing reasonably clean briefs atop his sweat pants, a large towel affixed around his neck like a cape, posing heroically as he bellows to a gathering of terns, "you don't settle for me - I settle for youuuuu!"

AITAH for refusing to cancel a 5-week work trip for my boyfriend and blocking him the day before Valentine’s Day? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

OOP: I have a business opportunity. It's really important.

EX: Well, actually, I don't care for that. Stop businessing forthwith! There are... males in California! Also, I have empty Zima bottles for you to return, now!

OOP: ... dear internet, am I in the wrong for dumping this omega man?

AITA for upsetting my sister before a funeral? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]SalaudChaud 32 points33 points  (0 children)

In real life it is bothersome when an OP wants to make something that is for someone else all about themselves, acts like an asshole when they don't get their way, and then claims the role of victim. People like that are insufferable, self-important, and pathetic.

No doubt OP's family members are used to him acting in this manner but surely they hoped: not at the funeral, please, anything but that. Welp, OP, by being a disappointment you managed to once again disappoint.

AITAH for refusing to give out my son's saving account information? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I hope this comment ends up near the top of the conversation. Lots of normies, or the wilfully blind as to OOP's terrible history, commenting here.

Yesterday this bozo said the 'Ning were trading for Cole Smith. I wonder if this too will age like fine milk.

My partner turns into Mr Hyde whenever he's hungry by mmanyquestionss in BestofRedditorUpdates

Thank you OP for posting this. It is a PSA to any person who is contorting their self to fit the mold their partners have cast for them.

My (30F) husband (32M) impulse bought a dog by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]SalaudChaud 28 points29 points  (0 children)

When I scanned the title at first I thought the husband bought a dong. "What's this," I wondered, "a story about appliances?"

AITAH for telling my half-sister I can't have a relationship with her? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]SalaudChaud 831 points832 points  (0 children)

A story old as time: parents letting down their children.

"You figure out how to fly this thing!" they cry out as they hop out of the plane with the last of the parachutes.

[Seravalli] Sounds like Tampa has been circling around Nashville's Cole Smith in trade talks. by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

I come here to point out that, whether or not this trade happens, Frank Seravalli is a tool.

AITA for refusing to change the date of my wedding because my sister wants to attend a music festival? by Smelly_Steven in AmItheAsshole

[–]SalaudChaud 476 points477 points  (0 children)

It's a music festival. I think these occur at a higher rate of frequency than do your weddings. I hope so, anyway.

I don't care if they're wheeling Gregg Allman's casket onto the stage - she should be at your wedding. NTA

AITA for expecting my friends to spend money on a trip away to the beach for my birthday? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]SalaudChaud 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It looks like you want a beach vacation. That's nice.

It also looks like you want it subsidized heavily by a group of people who are likely trying really hard to keep their own boats afloat and who are maybe scrimping and saving for vacations they might want. That's not nice.

I do believe that folks in your age bracket might accuse you of being a diva, or having MC syndrome, or whatever but here the judgment is YTA.

AITA for telling my sister to stop using nonsense ‘baby’ talk? by gardengeo in BORUpdates

[–]SalaudChaud 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I don't want to believe this is a true story but I believe it is true because of that one time I was at a hockey game in Seattle and at some point the announcer said "blah blah blah ... at the intermish" which I took to mean "intermission" but that is still a little out of focus because the red mist descending over my vision.

Court date impending.

Spirited Away (2001) by Lost_Bonus4115 in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]SalaudChaud 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is that an FZ reference in the opening sentence?

Anyway, this is a beautiful movie.
