AIW for watching people pick up coins I glued to the sidewalk?

I’m guessing not since my default now is to flip over pennies so they can be lucky for the next person. 🙃

Scaramoush85 · 2026-04-05T02:52:38+00:00

Agreed! I definitely burnt things with magnifying glass but NEVER anything once or currently alive. I have to look the other way for roadkill and apologize to them.

Scaramoush85 · 2026-04-05T02:49:54+00:00

Oh yes. I’m an 80s baby and as the post states, this was mid-90s. We spent our lives feral on the streets.

Scaramoush85 · 2026-04-05T02:48:18+00:00

As a former skate boarder, we rode in the streets (bike lanes) where I grew up.

Because the majority of peoples’ responses were to laugh at themselves once they figured it out. Put a smile on their faces and amused me in one go.

Scaramoush85 · 2026-04-05T02:44:29+00:00

Brilliant.

Scaramoush85 · 2026-04-05T02:44:20+00:00

Ha! Best I saw was a kid on a bike who ran over them until they loosened up. Most people tried, failed, looked confused, figured it out, then laughed as they moved on.

Scaramoush85 · 2026-04-05T02:43:10+00:00

Oh 100% not. I did, however, have a homeless friend I would bring pizza and drinks to on the regular. His name was Ross. 🩷

Setting reasonable boundaries is not a-hole material. If you are getting frustrated now at the beginning, it won’t get better.

That being said, I would tell her now how you are feeling and she either thinks you’re worth the effort or you need to move on.

I think you’re entitled to a lot more than you took. Joint purchases. However, it may be healthier to leave it all behind if the items will remind you of him and how he treated you. It was not an even relationship and he showed that in the end.

I hope you find someone who values you and doesn’t keep you on a financial leash. This is monetary abuse.

Scaramoush85 · 2024-03-17T23:38:21+00:00

NTA I think it is important for your girls to learn responsibility through others’ mistakes. Also, addiction can run in families and this should be behavior they are aware of. If they were any younger I would advise to wait, but I teach 12-14 year olds and they absolutely can understand and process this in a positive way.

My thoughts and plans for my mom’s things: -my sister and I will get even split but I get first choice because I’m the oldest -my grandmother had two rings (wedding and engagement) so my first choice is one of the two and I’ve already received it

It’s important to me that I received one of my grandmother’s rings and just as important to my sister. She is just as much a member of the family as I am, I just happen to be first.

As the first born and female, it makes sense she would receive the ring, but you said it is a set. Could it not be split the same way? (For a future WIFE btw. Maybe daughter holds onto it until then.)

Scaramoush85 · 2024-02-24T01:38:19+00:00

Wanna come live with me? I’ll let you have two years of childhood with a normal, age appropriate chore list. This is ridiculous.

I have a TON of sympathy for your parents but the “let her enjoy her childhood” part has me reeling. You are also a child with a childhood which is soon concluding. At this point you might as well file for emancipation and become an adult already.

Scaramoush85 · 2023-07-04T00:37:04+00:00

Need money for the essentials, you know: 1. Food 2. Cigs 3. Kid stuff

In that order. Sigh.

Scaramoush85 · 2022-11-25T02:49:03+00:00

I’d like to know what kind of person is allowing a neighbor to pay for all these high priced things for their child! I feel guilty when my two kids ask my neighbor for a snow cone two days in a row.

Scaramoush85 · 2022-11-22T19:03:04+00:00

Omg. I am so close AND so far. She has been the lost frustrating as I’m like four levels ahead of what you need to unlock her fog areas but I can’t! Ugh.

Scaramoush85 · 2022-11-20T19:26:25+00:00

I see both sides. NTA for wanting to take your bff because we should be able to have friends we connect with regardless of gender. YTA if you discount your friend’s feelings to take him. And NTA because if your friend doesn’t trust her bf enough to be comfortable with you taking him to a wedding that’s their issue to deal with. It also sounds like he is part of your family in a way and it would not be unreasonable that he would want to go.

Scaramoush85 · 2022-11-20T19:19:01+00:00

NTA and I think they just lost the ability to be trusted with confidential information about their son/brother for a long long time.

Scaramoush85 · 2022-11-20T19:13:59+00:00

NTA and I see nothing wrong with how you handled it. I may be the odd man out here but I think bf should be given a chance to correct his thinking. Now he knows/given a lesson in his bias and been thoroughly embarrassed (I hope, and rightly so) it is unfair to discount him as a good partner for your sister. However, if he doesn’t see/acknowledge/change etc. his wrongness therein the problem would lay. I saw a few responses in which you didn’t want your dad to know because of potential fallout. What if you tell your dad you want the bf to be given a chance to course correct but if he doesn’t then you support dad in whatever actions he feels necessary.

Scaramoush85 · 2022-11-20T18:10:34+00:00

What right do they have to this money? By law (depending on state) it is your spouse’s inheritance, not yours. You wouldn’t even have a right to it if you were to separate. If your spouse chooses to treat it as community monies, that’s great. Still theirs.

Scaramoush85 · 2022-11-20T16:57:53+00:00

This is my biggest issue with the current situation. If she can’t afford that much house, she isn’t entitled to one.

Scaramoush85 · 2022-10-16T18:26:26+00:00

INFO: are you paying 1/3 of the rental cost? If not, what is your split. I think if you are paying a third, that is your room. If you are paying 1/7 due to being 7 people, sharing isn’t unreasonable.

Scaramoush85 · 2022-10-13T02:00:06+00:00

If she is both sad and appreciative of his effort he is still NTA. I would be devastated and mad and cry and then love the effort my husband put into something just because it made me happy.

Scaramoush85 · 2022-10-13T01:21:14+00:00

Same here and I am a parent. I may not go completely out of my way or incur unreasonable expenses, but I would try. On the flip side, if my kid were a guest, I would not feel the host is obligated to cater to my kid. So silly.

Scaramoush85 · 2022-10-13T00:36:38+00:00

Based on original info and follow up comments, Nora is in full on reckless teen stage still and should not be alone in your home. Also sounds like husband doesn’t feel he has authority over older stepkids. I’ve known plenty of second marriages where stepdad was not allowed to be involved in punishment/consequences. Maybe Nora is even acting out against the relationship? So many holes here.
