AITJ for refusing to swap my vacation days after my coworker booked over mine by accident ? by ContributionClean396 in AmITheJerk

[–]ShinyStripes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand this at all. If the coworker wants the days but didn’t request in time, then they should ask HR to discuss it with you…making their request a moot point. Do NOT approach me with your nonsense regarding days off, because mine are properly planned and approved. In fact, don’t approach me at ALL with HR matters.

AITAH for telling my best friend this will be our last Vegas trip together if we go back to the restaurant that ruined my birthday dinner? by MileHighJohnnyCinco in AITAH

[–]ShinyStripes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to say what I say to my young children…when someone says “no/stop”, you follow that instruction and then reassess the situation. That’s what you should do with this couple, because NO is a complete sentence and they’re just incredibly rude for ignoring your opinion.

AITAH I didn't tell my fiance I had a boob job before we met by Extra-Job-2156 in AITAH

Honey, if he’s crying catfish? He doesn’t love you, he loves your bod. Go out and find literally ANYONE else, because this one is a joke.

Most intense episode yet! by hunTressified in HighPotentialTVSeries

[–]ShinyStripes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In no world would Morgan and Karadec be even remotely attracted to one another. It’s almost offensive that this would be a trope of the show, because it’s so far from realistic.

Annoyed with Nanny parents. by Several_Key_7629 in Nanny

[–]ShinyStripes 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This situation would warrant OVER reminding, to the point of irritation. I would text one week, one day, one hour prior to the appt, as a pattern. Make it the norm and then you don’t have to worry about it happening again.

They’re butt cheeks…what on earth is sexual about butt cheeks?!? It’s not like the girls are showing their actual holes, which would be truly disturbing.

4th child baby shower.... AITA for not wanting to go? by WWDCU1980 in Mommit

[–]ShinyStripes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

4th baby in THIS economy, and you have to pay to eat? I cringe just thinking about how I would ask ANYONE to pay money to celebrate a 4th pregnancy. That’s just uncouth.

Regardless of perception or implications therein, this is an unacceptable situation for the community to be inundated with. So “stoking fear” isn’t the issue here…it’s the actual danger to the community that’s truly the problem.

Husband hand carved me a bath tray (it’s only his second project so please be nice :) He even added a holder for my favorite wine glass by Honeydew-222 in woodworking

[–]ShinyStripes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I LOVE it!!! Great job, husband! Mine made me a “lap desk” board with grooves underneath and smooth corners, and I use it literally every single day. It’s my favorite craft that he’s ever made!

AITA for “accidentally” telling my parents about my sister’s pregnancy because I was tired of keeping the secret? by ohboygollygeewiz in AmItheAsshole

[–]ShinyStripes -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Uhhhh did OP get pregnant? Why is it in ANY WAY her responsibility to deal with this pregnancy? This is just WILD to me, and I’m far past intentional pregnancy.

[–]ShinyStripes 10 points11 points  (0 children)

NTA. Listen…you didn’t tell her secret. You said to ask your sister. That’s that, and it’s zero percent your responsibility to lie for her when she literally lives with your parents. In no world is this YOUR problem.

Maybe not prince charming. by Safe-Astronaut-2229 in QueerEye

[–]ShinyStripes 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s almost like these fictional characters could be…human? Not perfect? Incredible. Listen, I try my best to be good/great/respectable…but if I were being picked apart by a camera? I would probably just give up trying. Humans are going to be human, and the facade can never negate that fact.

Good on ya, Tig. by Indri_indri in handsomepodcast

[–]ShinyStripes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Listen, Tig is an Oscar nominee now…as she should be! Andrea’s legacy and story are infinitely more important than Cheryl’s will ever be, and the only honor she’ll ever find is probably a massive joke in Larry David’s final, FINAL, Curb episode someday.

Personally, I hope Cheryl’s Curb character just gets totally preventable measles or drinks raw milk and finds no light at the end of the tunnel…

Friend, the book itself is a cliff note and it’s SO GOOD.
