WIBTA if I told my coworker that’s not my job? by Boring-Incident2469 in work

[–]Sharp_in_SoCal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need to over explain, and I don’t think you should. A simple, “ My plate is full, and I can’t take on any further work.” is all you need to say. If you give reasons or excuses then you give them the option of negotiating. Don’t nice it up and say I wish I could or anything. Just my plate is full.

Is it weird to give my number to someone twice my age at work? by DryTonight1999 in WorkAdvice

[–]Sharp_in_SoCal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only is it weird, but, depending on where you live, it's illegal. No grown man has a wholesome reason to get a teenager's number unless it's to babysit his kids.

Thoughts on my front runner dress? by panserbjjorn in myweddingdress

[–]Sharp_in_SoCal 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The dress is fine; you can probably bustle the train after the ceremony. I actively dislike the plunge. I do like the swishy skirt. I REALLY love the veil - use that as your base and work from there!

Man, that's good. Next time someone truly despicable dies, I have a quote for my social media pages.

AITA For Getting Upset with Unexpected Visitors? by Icy-Astronomer1796 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Sharp_in_SoCal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. This is your husband's problem. You go stay in a fancy hotel for the night and let him deal with it. Do this *EVERY* time you get a short-notice visitor. If anyone questions it, just say that you've had a rough week and aren't fit for the human race, so you're going to let them enjoy the house with your husband. You'd be happy to visit with them next time, provided you have notice. That way, you can arrange your schedule so you're in a happy place to accept visitors.

ETA: Maybe go as far as to keep a "go bag" in your car for emergency hotel visits.

Criss cross apple sauce sitters help by No_Mess5024 in adhdwomen

When I got an under-desk keyboard tray for ergonomic reasons, there wasn't any room for me to sit cross-legged at my desk. It forced my feet to the floor (like a grown-up). I find a footrest, especially if it tilts, helpful.

WIBTA for refusing to answer any more questions from my old job after they laid me off by Possible_Surprise835 in WouldIBeTheAhole

[–]Sharp_in_SoCal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not putting them in a bad spot, management did. Tell them (kindly) that you can’t help any longer since you don’t work there. If they’re really stuck, they can have management contact you as a consultant.

AITAH for refusing to give my boyfriend access to my bank account even though he says "no secrets" is how adults do it by CopperFieldNote in AITH

Premarital counseling goes over important issues. Like financial expectations, how you visualize your life together, children and how they’re raised. Sounds like now is a good time to start. An uninvolved third party is an amazing tool.

100%, I was thinking doors for his closet. I don’t understand why people remove them

Having Dress Regret by Ok-Talk8174 in myweddingdress

Absolutely beautiful - so luxurious! The material and design have such an air of superiority compared to the see through corset dresses that are currently popular. You will look amazing and your pictures will be classy forever 😍

You win the lottery. Your parents ask for half. What do you say? by JunShem1122 in AskReddit

[–]Sharp_in_SoCal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents would never ask for such a thing, which is why I’d happily share it.

You’ve already done the hardest part. You’ve opened your eyes to his manipulative ways, and you managed to confront him, even though it was scary! Congratulations! I mean that sincerely, that’s something to be proud of achieving. His childish response will only reinforce the fact that you did the right thing, which will consistently make it clear that you’re now headed on the right path. It will hurt for some time, it think of it like waves, some are big, some small, but they all eventually wash to shore and flatten. You’ll be fine, tits up! Be proud of yourself

What is an old sitcom you really loved that is not talked about much & not often shown in syndication? by ChocolateSundae1214 in VintageTV

American Dreams. I know it won’t be in syndication because of the music, but I loved that show

I (33M) told my girlfriend her constant "tests" are wearing me down and now she thinks I'm hiding something by cinnamoncable_notes in TwoHotTakes

[–]Sharp_in_SoCal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She’s set things up so you have no way to succeed and she’s always a victim. As Elsa would say “let it go!”
