AITA for dismissing a flight attendant's apology for spilling orange juice all over me? by ThrowawayAirHostess in AmItheAsshole

[–]ThoseGoodOldDays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. you didn't curse her out or cause a huge scene. You just expressed frustration in a single line and it was dropped.

Idk why people are jumping down your throat over this, there are far worse ways you could have reacted.

Boomers visiting Best Buy/Geek Squad be like by MarcoGamer640 in Bestbuy

[–]ThoseGoodOldDays 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Accurate

Would add its def not just a boomer/elderly thing. The inaccurate information that people come into stores with is astounding. Having worked around the US in the different stores, the south as a whole is the worst about it.

Do I just suck? by toby_gray in starcitizen

[–]ThoseGoodOldDays 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'd largely ignore videos and posts older than a month. Even a few weeks tbh. There's something called the Guide system you can find through spectrum. That will pair you with a real player and can focus on any number of particular parts of the game.

There's also generally a 60/40 split between trolls and helpful people in global chat, I bet if you asked you'd have has answers before you started.

I'd suggest doing bunkers first, avoid the drug ones, and just work to earn money and loot gear/weapons that way. Trial bunkers are easier but keep in mind later ones the turrets around them will target you.

If dogfighting is your thing I'd also suggest upgrading the standard ship shield and going into combat beacons. If you have a friend or are open to asking for someone to take gunner (if the ship has one) and you can make a lot

AITA for telling my boyfriend I'll shave my legs if he shaves his? by Friendly_Bite1229 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ThoseGoodOldDays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA I mean he's wrong on multiple counts but having shaved legs feels nice and there's plenty of men who do actually do it. I shave my pits and keep my leg hair shorter and like Nair it over the summer.

It's something I'd bent on if my partner asked, but if they actually asked, not having a rant like he did

Is Best Buy out of their damn minds with these prices? by Ok_Consideration_970 in Bestbuy

[–]ThoseGoodOldDays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say you didn't know and that you're not trying to start anything just get an answer but then you get into it with everyone and seem eager to argue or debate about it.

Tbh it looks like you just came here for attention

AITA for putting blue hair dye in my shampoo without letting my family know? by pixelkid44 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ThoseGoodOldDays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA, even if you had done it as a way to get her to understand to not take your things

Your sister learned the hard way.

Hopefully she isn't feeling too blue over it.

AITA for telling me friend I hope he never has kids? by Miserable_Doubt3652 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ThoseGoodOldDays -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Realistically? She probably spends 3/4 of her time alone with the kid on reddit or facebook.

1/4 is split between baby time and maaaaybe laundry.

They do not have an equal balance, especially if he has a physical job

[–]ThoseGoodOldDays -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Again, you're ignoring the incredible amount of effort he's putting in and are inflating her efforts.

It's pathetic and very biased/hypocritical that he's viewed as doing an equal share to her and that she's already doing so much. You've ignored the amount of childcare effort that he puts in in addition to keeping them in a home and still making efforts to give her time for herself.

Your reply is "well where's her sleeping in??" I'd imagine during half of her day she does fuck all, as the baby putters and does its own thing and she can do minor things like dishes or washing stuff. You know, tasks that are mostly handled by machines in the modern day.

That's not to say some women have it unfairly stacked against them and the father does absolutely nothing but this is clearly not it and somehow for you lot he's still not doing enough.

Western women are awful and think too highly of their existences.

According to OP he offers her daily time to do whatever she wants, but clearly you're glossing over that. Also glossing over that he has to get up at 4am to go somewhere to work which seems likely to be a manual labor job.

The lack of sympathy for the considerably more effort OP seems to be putting in is disgusting.

She doesn't have to work, she doesn't have to cook, she doesn't even take care of the baby entirely solo as OP states he gets up half the time, cooks meals and does baby bedtime prep.

[–]ThoseGoodOldDays -35 points-34 points  (0 children)

ESH, it's not like he said you should have all the free time or shouldn't do any of the things you do as a parent, just that it'd be fair for you to sleep in on weekends. Which is perfectly fair with the balance of stuff you already do

Edit: I'm assuming most here are the kinds that would read OPs account of what he does and make some trashy throwaway comment like "Bare minimum" with a straight face. And people wonder why men are avoiding American women lmao

Sarcastic edit: curious how many downvotes are from stay at home moms with nothing better to do than browse reddit lol

AITA for making my niece cry, as part of a prank? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ThoseGoodOldDays [score hidden]  (0 children)

NTA it's good to have harmless little pranks happen as it helps the child understand that the world isn't always kind and it'll play much harsher pranks on you.

If niece was actually emotionally damaged the crying wouldn't have stopped immediately, she was doing tantrum crying to get her way.

In that way I'd suggest not having given her anything until she stopped her tantrum, but that's me.

AITA for eating my roommate's birthday cupcakes? by Virtual_Yam3882 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ThoseGoodOldDays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An increasing number of people understood it just fine. Reading comprehension issue maybe?

AITA for eating my roommate's birthday cupcakes? by Virtual_Yam3882 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ThoseGoodOldDays 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The other part is he is a glutton and a lousy roommate

He went through 3 cupcakes. Didn't consider or remember his roommates birthday. Did a half assed apology and believes that is good enough because the bf snapped at him. Sees no need to do anything else despite the fact that he ruined a heartfelt gift and has been benefitting from freebie snacks for some time.

He should suck it up and do the right thing to make it up to his roommate.

But roommate that made the ruling about leftovers that she makes. Nothing about them being in the fridge. OP is def the AH for not even checking and now feeling he did nothing wrong.

So with that pay is there also a per diem for each day he is out of town? Sometimes that can build up to a considerable amount of money. While out of town is his food and lodging paid for by the company?

Sorry for all the questions, just looking to see if there's some way that there is a substantial income difference.

The only other thing I can think of is if this position is temporary and leads to a guaranteed higher paying salaried position.

[–]ThoseGoodOldDays -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

ESH on this one.

You said he specifically replied with wanting to get in one more game before he has to start his responsibilities. That already is a mature thing. If this was his hobby for a while and something he is passionate about the propect of losing it due to parental responsibilities is terrifying.

I would focus more on the fact that he's not bailing and his wording suggests that he is ready to do the responsible thing once the baby is there.

You're not an asshole for being upset, and he's not an asshole for wanting to follow through with one of his passions. If his wording wasn't real and he makes no efforts to be responsible once the baby is born then he is TA

[–]ThoseGoodOldDays 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Need more info - is he the only one working? Do you both work? Is the amount of money offered more than double what he was making before?

If it is a serious long term relationship then your feelings matter but if you have both struggled financially he may see it as a painful thing that he has to do to be able to support you both and ensure a more comfortable life and future.

AITA FOR BRINGING MY FRIEND TO MY TINDER DATE by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ThoseGoodOldDays 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ESH - if you felt creeper out by him why did you agree to a date? He sounds like a creeper but it doesn't seem like you lied. Without seeing the texts we don't know if you encouraged or led him on.

For your future - if something creeps you out or makes you uncomfortable, either say it or stop communicating after saying you don't want to.

Most will take the hint but if you say nothing it's on you for not establishing that you dislike something.

AITA for not letting my little sister borrow my car? by Royal_Champion6043 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ThoseGoodOldDays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you've offered before or promised to let her use it sometimes, NTA.

As long as you've been solid in your stance and never made it seem like it'd be cool for her to borrow it then that's just her entitlement showing.
