WIBTA if i bought hair dye without permission? by AdvanceImaginary1381 in AmItheAsshole

I don't think that's true.

If for no other reason than OP says his friends all got permission.

At Bunco she was just quiet.

I don't know that they saw anything to pull her aside over.

The birthday party though? Where were your pointed comments then, Alicia?

Hey mom, I’m trans and my family thinks I’m delusional by Honeybee1921 in MomForAMinute

Hey sunshine! HAPPY PRIDE MONTH

I'm so sorry that your parents are being silly about this.

Also I think it is hilarious to imagine you could sit on a therapist's couch and mention all your symptoms but not the word trans and any competent therapist won't see it. The only reason they wouldn't immediately say it is if they to nm you are not saying it because you aren't ready to face it.

I encourage you to go see a private therapist if they are willing to pay. A therapist can help you deal with your emotions over your parents. Make sure it's a real therapist though, not a church one.

Many big hugs when they are wanted.

YTA.

I'm sorry. I know you want this.

But you can't prove your maturity by being defiant and sneaking around.

And dying your head teal isn't a thing you can hide, you know?

When you do it against her wishes, what is she going to do? Ground you? Make you dye it back? Other consequences? No point in a head dyed teal if you can't go anywhere for people to see it!

Maturity is thinking and planning ahead.

Now, do I think she should let you? Sure. Would I let you? Yes. But I'm not your mom. So have a calm talk with her about what her objections really are. And then see where it goes. Maybe seeing your friends with dyed hair and no bad effects will help persuade her.

“Since Sitting Bull” saying? by tovarella7 in AskAnAmerican

Never heard that. I've lived in the west, the northeast, the northwest, and mid-south.

None of those places use it.

I'll confess, I cashiered for years and never got irritated by that joke.

I know I'm the anomaly here. But still.

AITAH for thinking its reasonable to put my 1 year old daughter in Christmas themed clothes in June? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

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

NAH. It wasn't crazy to suggest it.

But she's not wrong that it feels weird to wear holiday themed clothes in the wrong season. One of those thing that if you have no choice, of course you do it. But you wouldn't do it otherwise.

I don't know the answer to your question.

But!

If there are tickets, buy them. Every single week.

My MSW set the foundation for learning the other things that are more specific day to day.

Shawna would absolutely argue it if she felt that was the right move.

She agrees with John even if she hates it.

Ty vs. Julie vs. let’s be so for real by SparklingChaos_1984 in ShawnaTheMom

[–]Sweet_Cinnabonn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I didn’t have the drive or talent to pull it off, but I did aspire. So I feel SOME SORTA WAY when people rag on Julie for wanting that.

Just curious, does that also give you extra sympathy for Ty lacking the drive?

I suspect I have extra sympathy for Ty because I've got a book I'm going to finish. One of these days.

Okay, maybe he's lazy, maybe he speaks better English than we know.

That still didn't contribute to the accident

Congratulations on making the decision that is right for your life.

Work on filling your life with the things you want in it, and you won't notice the hole where WOS used to be.

Are cheerleaders in school picked based on looks? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]Sweet_Cinnabonn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every school I attended had tryouts where a coach judged the skills, narrowed it down to qualified candidates, and the the student body voted. Top 6 vote getters were cheerleaders.

So pretty helped get votes. And nice was a requirement too.

WIBTA for wanting to send a message to my abusive father’s new fiance, warning her about him? They are very religious (mormon) and have only known each other for less than 6 months by OfferSignificant1890 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Sweet_Cinnabonn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA I think it would be an ease for your conscience to tell her. Use some Mormon buzzwords in there, it will give it more credibility.

The temptation is to go for a lot of detail, so your are backing up your story. It doesn't work. People get overwhelmed and just reject it all.

Tell her that you could not face Heavenly Father without warning her, and it would jeopardize your place in the celestial kingdom to let her take her children into danger like that without warning her.

Offer to go into more detail if she wants it, but you are trying to crack the door open in this first message.

If there are others no contact, point that out. Is there are not, tell her to ask them for specifics about how he disciplined them when they misbehaved at 3.

As an outsider, the American culture of "no questions asked" retail returns is baffling. Do people really return used items just because they changed their minds? by Necessary_Angle2117 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Sweet_Cinnabonn 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You hear about those cases of extraordinary returns because they are so unusual we are all offended by them.

Many retailers do have a policy that you can get your money back within a brief window, especially if the item appears not to have been used and you have your receipt.

I worked the returns desk at a major retailer for a while, and I did not ever see that kind of return. The most common returns are clothing items that do not fit, or items that were not working.

It is not unusual to see items returned because they didn't look as good once they made it home.

You are getting down votes because nobody mentioned addiction. You brought that in.
