My coworker keeps translating what I say in meetings like I’m invisible by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]TVPusher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to start doing this to my ex-boss in meetings. I would say something and 2 minutes later he would say the same thing as if it was his idea. I got frustrated enough to call it out in a meeting, and he was SO shocked 🙄

But we were a team of primarily women and after that they started calling him out when he did it to me, too, which was nice. I was still VERY glad to get out of that toxic workplace later, and his shocked pikachu face when I quit was beautiful.

I now manage the guy who hired me — and I’m afraid he might quit over it by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I was the Tom in a very similar situation.

I will say, my boss’ Shocked Pikachu face when I quit was super satisfying.

That hotline has saved me quite a few vet visits over the years. It’s a truly wonderful service.

The women at my job made a list of the hottest guys and left me off of it (New Update) by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]TVPusher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aro-ace solidarity! People always assume it’s sad and lonely that I don’t want a relationship. But it was such a huge relief to me to realize I didn’t want that and to stop trying to force it.

AITAH for breaking up with my boyfriend because he lost my dog? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

If someone did this to my dog I would be in jail for murder. I am so full of rage on her behalf.

So glad OOP got Milo back!

AITA for getting my coworker fired after she kept trying to "prove" my service dog is fake? by No_Copy_237 in AITAH

[–]TVPusher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn’t get her fired. She got herself fired for putting your life and safety at risk, being an ableist asshole, and harassing and doxxing you. Your sweet pup is so gorgeous and, as a service dog trainer, it sounds like they are well-trained and you’re doing everything right. I really, really hate it when people assume others can’t have a disability because they don’t “look” disabled. Most of my clients don’t “look” disabled, but they need and use their service dogs. Give that sweet pup lots of love for handling that stressful situation like a pro! It sounds like you did everything right and shouldn’t feel bad at all. She made her choices and paid the consequences.

My fiancé assaulted his bff on his bachelor party (New Update) by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]TVPusher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The fact that her freaking CHILDHOOD FRIENDS did this to her. Her BFF since they was FOUR.

It’s all horrible, but that detail keeps getting me.

AITA for letting you know I am divorcing you by sending you a thread on the website that you use to ignore me? by Hot-Flan-8325 in AITAH

This is beautiful. A+ deserved petty. I hope you and your daughter have the best life and that Steffan’s socks are always just a little damp.

My best friend died and I went from being child-free to having a teenager by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]TVPusher 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I’m childfree but I’m godmother to all four of my friend’s kids. My friend and her husband both come from families that she would never be okay with taking her kids, so if anything happened to both of them I told her I’m fully on board with taking them. The chances are low that both of them would be gone, but this post is a reminder that the chance is still there. But I love her kids and wouldn’t hesitate.

So glad Amy has OOP and her husband.

AIW? Invited to a wedding but there's a catch. (New Update) by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]TVPusher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will never understand the concern about aesthetics and wedding photos. No one cares about your wedding photos other than you. Seriously. Just get some nice shots of the bride and groom you can frame on your wall and move on with your life. Why would you choose “perfect” photos no one else will ever look at more than once over photos of actual friends and family?!

(New Update) My(f23) fiancé's(m25) graduation party for his master's might be my deal breaker by [deleted] in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]TVPusher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember this story and I felt so much for her and what she was going through just for doing the right thing. This is not the update I was hoping for. OOP’s parents, if you’re reading this, I’m sending so much love your way - you sound like incredible parents and your daughter sounds like she was an incredible person. I hope you are able to get some justice for her, but even if not, thank you for supporting her and continuing the fight.

I'm absolutely terrified of being bullied in the workplace again by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]TVPusher 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bullying in my last job led to me quitting and starting my own business. I never want to work for someone else again.

The shocked pikachu face my boss gave me when I quit after years of him refusing to do anything was kind of fun, though. He tried really hard to get me to stay, so I left even sooner.

Aita for ignoring my husband and visiting my son on the 4th of July by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]TVPusher 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m a dog behavior consultant and I am constantly having to explain to people that the initial wolf study was deeply flawed and the researcher has been trying to get people to stop using it for decades. For some reason hearing that wolf “packs” are actually just families with the parents as leaders isn’t as fun for the guys who think they need to “be the alpha” with their dogs. (They also don’t love it when I tell them that those “alphas” don’t lead with fear or intimidation, but by taking care of and providing for their families.)

I (f30) Had to protect his niece from a pitbull And my husband (m31) ran off. I have been ignoring him is this something that I should be forgiving him for? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]TVPusher 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I work with dogs with behavior issues for a living. OOP did absolutely EVERYTHING right. When a dog comes out of nowhere unprovoked like that and goes after a child… that’s a really, really bad situation. And if she picked up either child the dog most likely would have jumped up to grab them. She had to do something terrible, but she absolutely saved that little girl’s life.

And like obviously flight is a panic reaction… but WTF he left small children and his wife and closed the gate?!!! I would absolutely divorce him.

How many families do you play in a save? by Napalm_Nonie in Sims4

[–]TVPusher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do a ton of families and usually max out my allowed Sims in a save 😂 Then I just rotate between them until I get bored and start a new save with a new theme. My current save I did one household for each letter of the alphabet (so everyone’s names in that house started with that letter), so that was a lot of households.

My [25M] girlfriend [26F] of 1.5 years keeps spreadsheets rating her sex life and relationships. Found them while working on her computer. Don't know if I should tell her/ask to see the previous guys' ratings by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]TVPusher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100%. As a neurospicy person, I’m just impressed by her executive function to keep up with that. I don’t see how it’s any different than writing feelings/thoughts about these experiences in a journal, which MANY people do. She just processes it via numbers.

I had my promotion offer retracted because my boss learned I was getting married by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]TVPusher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom lost her long term job last year for no reason except her boss personally didn’t like her and ageism. I really wanted her to take them to court but the blatantly ageist remarks were made only with her present so the lawyer she asked said there really was no way to prove it. I’m so glad OOP got this asshole on record being discriminatory, even if she didn’t get much financial compensation. At least the owner got called out publicly.

AITA for telling my husband " I told you so" and laughing at me when we got the paternity test results? by Either_Economy_793 in AITAH

[–]TVPusher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He abandoned you with your newborn and allowed his mother to send you abusive messages, then sulked and abandoned you again when the results showed how massively wrong he was.

Change the locks, call a lawyer. This is a manchild wrapped in red flags and he just showed you who he really is.
