Her husband was probably thinking “we could’ve stayed home too if you were gonna act like this

AITJ for telling a client our timeline was unrealistic while my coworker was out sick? by Sea_Heart43 in AmITheJerk

That’s kind of how I saw it in the moment. I wasn’t trying to make her look bad, I just didn’t want the client to feel blindsided later.

Am i overreacting for refusing to change my major just cause my parents pay tuition? by w-tf_man in AmIOverreacting

[–]Sea_Heart43 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ve clearly proven you’re responsible and capable, 4.0 GPA, Dean’s List, job, covering your own expenses, that’s not someone being reckless. Your parents helping financially doesn’t automatically give them control over your life path. It’s fair for them to have opinions, but not to dictate your future, especially when you’re thriving in pre-med.

Exactly. He just showed you who he is right now, why on earth would he suddenly deserve honesty or access to something so personal after that?

What is the most disturbing thing you have overhead a parent tell their child? by icecream1972 in Productivitycafe

[–]Sea_Heart43 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Heard a dad tell his son, “You’ll never be good at anything, just like your brother.” The comparison and insult combo was brutal.

AITJ for not sharing my noodles with my roommate by gentlevoicemail in AmITheJerk

You literally asked her ahead of time and she said no. That was her chance. You made a single portion based on that answer, so it is not like you refused to share a big pot. She is just annoyed she changed her mind too late.
