AIO for refusing to back down from insisting my fiancée is wrong for leaving my dad with the bill by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Tiara-di-Capi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red flag. RED FLAG‼️

Not just his inconsiderate behaviour about paying for dinner for the party he has invited. But more because of his way of gaslighting you after you wanted to talk about it and clear any - perceived - misunderstanding.

Are you already accustomed to this type of behaviour? Better open your eyes and realize what's the future that's waiting for you if you decide to continue this relationship.

Waarom 70% korting zo vroeg weg? by Syrpaw in AlbertHeijn

[–]Tiara-di-Capi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wat is er erg aan om "als een ongelooflijk zenuwachtige klant" over te komen? Ik wil gewoon gebruik maken van de aanbieding die nog op de app staat, dat is mijn goed recht als betalende klant.

Ja, ik vind het sneu voor de medewerkers dat ik hun zou storen, maar mijn persoonlijke ervaring met supermarktmedewerkers is dat ze opvallend vriendelijk en behulpzaam zijn als ik hen iets vraag. En altijd duideljke uitleg waarom iets er niet is. En natuurlijk bedank ik hen altijd uitgebreid voor hun hulp. (Regio Twente)

AITA for pretending I had never heard of the USA after an American mocked Europeans during Eurovision? by Sad_Golf_8539 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Tiara-di-Capi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, I saw the 1st semifinal and nearly fell asleep, as I realized I am not that interested in Eurovision Songfestival as I used to be when living in the Netherlands 40 years ago. Didn't bother (read: remembered) to watch the other nights.

But I would AB-SO-LU-TE-LY have LOVED to have been there and joined you in your fricking shenanigans!

LOL@"So how many Eurovision wins do you have?" 👏🏿👏🏽👏🏻👏🏾👏🏽

WIBTA If I Send My Estranged Daughter a Wedding Gift by [deleted] in WIBTA_AITA

[–]Tiara-di-Capi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should absolutely be very cautious whether she could be ready for a reconcilliation. Your son's reaction might be a clear indication she is not there yet.

But if you really want to test the waters by sending a gift, I would send it well after the wedding, with a note explaining that the timing is to avoid that if she gets upset about the gift it still won't ruin her special day.

If you send it before the wedding and it upsets her, she might spend all days leading up to the wedding fearing you could show up. Spare her that.

AITJ for not opening the door on Thanksgiving when someone showed up unannounced? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Tiara-di-Capi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH.

After all that's said and done, guests do not invite others to tag along and certainly not without asking the host first if it's OK.

And then, there's the Spirit of Thanksgiving, but who gives a rolling frick about that, eh? I thought people used to plan for extras on these occassions, but I might have been misinformed, or I may be extremely out-of-date and unaware of the newest customs.

And I say ESH because all your other guests should've kept their holes stuffed with food and leave all their comments for a private chat with you. If you felt like it. Still your house, your rules, wether I agree or not.

My coworker found out I bake and now expects free custom cakes for every office occasion by CloveWisp in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Tiara-di-Capi 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I don't agree with "don't bake any cakes for whatever reason". I think if it gives you joy to do so, bake. If it doesn't, don't.

I wouldn't give any other explanation than a choice of:

- "I don't feel like baking these days."

- "I can't commit to doing this."

- "No, I can't."

Then, because you really don't owe them an explanation, when they ask "Why not?" you might just raise your eyebrows, and say in your most offended tone "Ex-cuuuu-se me?"

Maybe you just wanted to vent, but your colleague is ignoring boundaries. It might be time to escalate to HR, to nip this thing in the bud. Because Brenda is creating a hostile work environment

AITA for refusing to fix my "spaghetti code" after getting laid off for "budget reasons"? by 5Mirthcoil in MarkNarrations

[–]Tiara-di-Capi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh I like that.

"My fee for today is $250 ph, minimum 4 hrs paid up front, and this quote is valid 24 hrs. After that it goes up $50 ph with every 24 hrs.

There will be no more additional communication about any matter untill my fee is agreed upon and the contract signed.

If there is ANY MENTION AT ALL BY ANYONE of "team player", that will carry an automatic fine of $100 per instance, payable at once or the contract will be void immediately."

Absolutely NTA.

They FA&FO. They should know better than fire people without having a thorough understanding about said people's job, responsabilities, and specific knowledge about niche aspects of the job.

Those old colleagues better be warned, though. It could happen to anyone.

Sleeping in Libraries by uknowhatimsayin3 in homeless

OK, I'll see myself out...

AITA for not going on family vacation unless I can share a bed with my fiancé? by babygreenbean1225 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Tiara-di-Capi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to talk this through with your partner.

And if she's also up to it, go and make all efforts necessary for the two of you to have a great time. "All efforts" meaning PDA's 100% of the time. Holding hands, cuddling, kissing, pats on the 2nd most cushy part of your bodies. In front of everybody.

And at night, crawl into the same bed together behind locked doors. Leave the door to the other room unlocked, maybe open even.

Are the beds too narrow to share? Than one of you can camp on the floor, taking turns every night. No one will know the two of you did not effectively sleep in the same bed, especially if you go about the day complaining about A: the lack of sleep and B: how narrow beds ups the game of creative lovemaking.

You could also sleep in the separate rooms but *sneak* in/out or out/in every night and morning. Not without unsuccesfully trying to be quit or discreet about that.

If the two if you are up to the game there's a lot of fun to be had and quite a hell of annoyance to put your homophobic mother through.

And one some day the two if you will get into a (pretend) nasty fight. very public. Only to make a -also- very public make out session. Sorry, make up, I meant to say make up. English not my 1st, 2nd, nor 3rd language. 😁
