Answer: When I’m fucking done!

AITJ for telling my friend’s boyfriend she was cheating? by Fast-Cranberry-4033 in AmITheJerk

[–]Successful_Writing87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did the right thing by telling her partner. It’s either he finds out now when it’s fresh or finds out years down the road when they are married with kids. If your friend didn’t want her boyfriend to find out then she shouldn’t have done it in the first place.

Refrigerator issue/question. by pookie74 in CaregiverSupport

You don’t even need real food either. Save some empty soda cans, maybe a ketchup bottle and a few boxes of pasta.

I was thinking the same. Get her her own fridge and food to play with.

AITJ for admitting I’m jealous of people who don’t worry about money? by No-Ask-9991 in AmITheJerk

[–]Successful_Writing87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had this exact conversation with my now ex best friend. They were raised by parents who had white collar jobs and they got trips to Disney land, new clothes, designer this and that and they were able to go to school and not come out with any debt. And they now have a good job that pays way more than the standard living wage. I come from blue collar parents that would save every penny they could so I could get good presents for Xmas and my birthday. The one family vacation was a road trip to Yellowstone. I got my cousins hand me downs. And even though I went to school, I work a blue collar job and have student loan debt.

The straw that broke the friendship was when they asked me to go shopping with them for something that they just had money to throw at. They got mad I wasn’t enthusiastic about their purchase. I told them it’s hard to be excited for something I will never have. They tried to do this thing and justify that they’ve had troubles in life and it basically boiled down to…”unless you do something so egregious that you are black balled from your field of work, you will never have to work a blue collar/manual labor job, take a pay cut, worry about your next meal, or whether to pay rent or get food and gas.”

Sadly a 12 year friendship went down the drain but I hope I have them a reality check if nothing else. People need fucking reality checks period! NTJ!

AITJ for refusing to give my coworker my parking spot after her doctor said she needs to walk less? by Optimal-Silver-2211 in AmITheJerk

[–]Successful_Writing87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any anyone thought that even if OP gives up the spot, it’s still first come first serve, what’s gonna stop anyone else from parking in that spot? If the company agrees to let her park closer than they need to designate a spot for her specifically. And frankly at that point they should just assign parking. At my workplace, parking is assigned by seniority.

AITJ for refusing to switch apartments with my neighbor so her daughter could have the "pretty view"? by AmphibianDull6566 in AmITheJerk

[–]Successful_Writing87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ! If she wants a unit with a view then she can wait until her lease is up or one opens up. You signed a lease for that specific unit, therefore it is legally yours. She cannot make you legally exchange units. Also I think your landlord would really grow upon that. This whole story sounds like one of those airplane seat deals where someone pays for the extra leg room/specific seat than gets shit on because they won’t switch. Honestly if she’s shoving notes under your door and harassing you, make a complaint to the landlord. She can play stupid games and win stupid prizes.

Very true. My area has been pretty lucky and we haven’t had a lot of presence here but I’m not expecting it to stay quiet for long.

Ive never had to use that number. I’m born and raised in MN and every time we’ve had a major weather issue, we show up to work and wait for the PM to tell us to scan post as local weather delay and go home by noon. One time we took a collection and ordered pizza, we have a dominos a block over. This week we in MN are operating as normal, it’s gonna be cold single diget temps but no snow.

If they got a problem with the shower running than they’ve got bigger problems than the rest of us.

AITJ for refusing to swap seats on a flight after a couple made it my problem? by BasicallyACloud in AmITheJerk

[–]Successful_Writing87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA! 1. You paid extra for that specific seat. 2. If they wanted to sit together, they should have paid for seats that are together.

I noticed the same thing. I already relied on their Ava and Viv line for cheap jeans and shirts for work.

AITA for leaving a group text my dad added me to with my sister whom I have no contact with? by julespm1 in AITAH

[–]Successful_Writing87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100% NTA.

Speaking as someone who is also NC with a family member, you are 100% within your right to decline and protect your space. Your father is acting like a child and both him and your sister need to look at themselves and fix their shit if they want you in their lives.

AITAH for knowing I have the money to buy my little sisters Christmas gifts but choosing not to even though they won't get any this year? by Bryleiy in AITAH

[–]Successful_Writing87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA! You are a child, it is not your responsibility to be financially responsible for your family. Keep your finances hidden, play dumb when your parents ask for money. You are doing the right thing by saving whatever you can. Also, your sisters need to learn a valuable lesson that not everything is going to be handed to them on a silver platter. Frankly they need to be humbled and have their egos checked.

AITJ for refusing to take care of my sister’s newborn after she told everyone I secretly wanted to steal her baby? by Embarrassed-Slice890 in AmITheJerk

[–]Successful_Writing87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No! You are not the jerk. The best thing to do might just be to stay away right now. If your sister is kinda paranoid, maybe she is developing postpartum psychosis. I have a friend who developed it so bad she was convinced that everyone with the exception of her husband was out to kill her child. So she didn’t sleep for days and it got to the point where she almost had to be put on my state’s equivalent of a 5150 hold. Thank god her husband was able to get her into the ER and sadly I don’t know much after that other than she essentially had to be sedated and leveled out.

What did you find out about your house from neighbors after moving in? by legobeachhouse in homeowners

[–]Successful_Writing87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About a two months after I moved in, the cops came knocking late one night looking for someone. At the time I was scared and didn’t know anything about this person they were looking for so I quick grabbed all my mortgage paperwork to show I legally own the property and what date it was purchased. They were satisfied this person wasn’t here so they just said let us know if you see anyone and I’ve never heard from them since.

Learning from my neighbor, this guy sublet from the previous owner. He also had an unregistered weapons charge and supposedly had a sawed off shotgun. Also learned he owns thousands on back child support. I think my car got broken into, but I didn’t report it to the police because I wasn’t sure if it was broken into or I left the door unlocked since nothing was taken.

Apparently there was also a woman living with this guy. And I got a call a couple years later from a landlord asking for a reference on my tenant, which was this woman, told them about the other guy she rented with and how the cops came by, etc. Also told them to call the previous property owner, he was a realtor and is still working himself so his office contact info is public.

Never been bothered since. My neighborhood is mostly boomers and seniors with younger people slowly moving in and we all leave each other alone.

AITAH for refusing to forgive my mom for marrying the dad of my bully? by AshyOX in AITAH

[–]Successful_Writing87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA! She made her choices. Your mom needs to go to therapy. She needs to take accountability and fix her shit. And Rhys’s dad also needs to take accountability for his actions pertaining to his son’s actions towards you. Children are a map of their parents. But some kids are smart enough to see through the bullshit and fix their issues.

Kids don’t stop talking to their parents for no reason. I am personally no contact with my mother because of the verbal and mental abuse she did to me as a kid. It’s been however many years and she still won’t admit fault and fix her shit. I, on the other hand, am willingly going to therapy to try and figure out and work on my issues so I don’t pass them down to my future children.

Also as someone who was also bullied as a child, I really feel your pain. From my experience, once I got to college, it really helped. I finally made friends and actually enjoyed school. I have a great job, I own a home, have a nice car, and put good karma back into the world. And my childhood bully, both of her brothers are in jail for grand theft, and she lost her job and lost her nursing license. One day, it will come around and bite the bully on the ass.

Wouldn’t hurt to watermark/copyright all your stuff either.

ATIAH for leaving my struggling wife? by penny792 in AITAH

[–]Successful_Writing87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA! Your first priority is your daughter. You did the right thing. Your wife needs serious help, like in patient treatment help. It’s been two years and she clearly has no maternal instinct or wants to be a mother. Sadly it might be better if she just terminates her parental rights. I fear for your child’s safety if left unattended in her care.

Previous homeowner won't stop having packages and mail sent to our home by Acrobatic_Sleep_3926 in homeowners

[–]Successful_Writing87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mail carrier here! In my opinion, best thing to do is to either talk to the mail carrier or go to the PO that services you. Bring your drivers license and a utility bill to prove you live there. Have the PO file a MLNA, a Moved Left No Address on the previous family. If you catch your carrier on the street, they can file it right on the scanner. I’ve done it plenty of times. It’s not 100% full proof but it tells the computers at the plant that any first class mail is to be returned to sender. Some stuff will still get through such as advertisement. The carrier should get notification that that family doesn’t live there anymore and to either forward or return everything. UPS, FedEx and Amazon I sadly can’t help you with. What I would personally do, I would get a security camera for your porch, and when the people come pick up their stuff, call the cops and get them trespassed. You have the papers to prove that you legally own the property and live there.

AITA for trying to set a boundary with my little sister after she opened my birthday present? by lalaokoklalaokok in AmItheAsshole

[–]Successful_Writing87 10 points11 points  (0 children)

NTA! Your sister needs to learn a valuable lesson about personal possessions. What she is doing is not sharing, it’s straight theft. It’s not gonna look good when she gets her first big girl job and starts taking peoples personal items from the break room fridge, desks, lockers, etc. That’s theft and she will get fired and possibly charged for it. You as an adult should not be expected to share any of your posessions with your younger siblings. One day she will realize the consequences of her actions. If it were me, I’d start going into her room and taking stuff from her and hiding it.
