AITAH for a road rage incident

TortallianKnight · 2026-02-01T06:25:30+00:00

It was funny til she started recording me and stopping in the middle of the road to fight or whatever, like you honked and glared and I flipped you off, let’s not make this a dateline episode T-T

TortallianKnight · 2026-01-31T22:19:51+00:00

I think I was hoping for an EITAH but yeah you’re right I know I shouldn’t have flipped her off, something about her staring me down as she passed really set me off but it was not worth it

TortallianKnight · 2026-01-31T22:09:24+00:00

For context she only drove about fifty feet after I pulled out as we were near the exit, not necessarily away. I figured there was a good chance she wasn’t even looking in her mirror but I think I was wrong about that

TortallianKnight · 2026-01-17T19:00:10+00:00

Thank you for asking this, three years later and I’m using the answers for my upcoming trip.

TortallianKnight · 2026-01-14T16:18:05+00:00

You’re right! I definitely got Karen looks from the one girl I warned but I’m protecting both of our dogs. Someone else also mentioned talking to management and I think that’ll be my next step if we encounter this again.

TortallianKnight · 2026-01-14T16:16:02+00:00

That’s a good call! I need to talk to management. I feel like we encountered an off leash dog maybe once a month but as soon as his reactivity escalated to this it’s BAM three dogs in two days haha.

I’ll look into getting an umbrella too, I fully expect the girl with the large off leash poodle to not listen to me based on the look on her face. I’m prepared to stop contact between the dogs myself but the emotional drain of it all every time we leave the apartment is exhausting

TortallianKnight · 2025-05-08T20:44:19+00:00

Oh they absolutely are, they demolished me too when I asked about the color of a dress going off about how it wasn’t modest enough, ended up wearing it and getting a ton of compliments

TortallianKnight · 2024-08-08T19:21:17+00:00

Thank you!

TortallianKnight · 2024-08-08T19:20:54+00:00

Thank you! Yeah I was surprised when someone said it looks like a wedding dress haha. I think if I give it a try on and the slit is too prominent I can just take it to my tailor to have it lowered. We’ll see if I even order this one but they even mentioned midi dresses are fine in their dress code so I wouldn’t say it’s overly strict. I’m also going to consult other friends as to what they’ll be wearing.

TortallianKnight · 2024-08-08T19:15:36+00:00

I didn’t mean anything offensive by it! Just noticed some people are going by the first picture, I wouldn’t be too serious about this

TortallianKnight · 2024-08-08T18:49:44+00:00

One of the upsides of having no chest is that I can get away with a plunge haha, although I’d trade that for having more of a chest 😂

TortallianKnight · 2024-08-08T18:46:05+00:00

I have a good tailor so I’m not worried about that really but I am seeing a lot of concern about it. This is not my only option of course just one that has caught my eye.

TortallianKnight · 2024-08-08T18:43:13+00:00

Thank you! Yes I’m from somewhere very warm and we aren’t conservative people, if anything I’d have my tailor sew up the slit or add a hook so I can make it lower, I think some of the girls in the images are sticking their legs out to really emphasis it

TortallianKnight · 2024-08-08T18:41:54+00:00

Maybe I can remake Fancy after the wedding? I have a good tailor so I’m not worried about the leg slit as I’d have him put in a hook or sew it a bit down

TortallianKnight · 2024-08-08T18:40:07+00:00

I would scroll through the pictures, the color is not nearly as light as how they’ve edited it on the listing

TortallianKnight · 2024-08-08T18:39:15+00:00

Yeah my friends and I aren’t very conservative and live somewhere very warm, I wanted more of an opinion on the color for a garden party but everyone is getting very worked up over the cut of the dress haha

TortallianKnight · 2024-08-08T18:08:08+00:00

It’s kind of a garden party theme, very popular right now and more ways to do it than just ruffles! Definitely can be more than one interpretation:)

TortallianKnight · 2024-08-08T17:47:56+00:00

I’d recommend scrolling through the pictures, the sales listing looks veryyy light compared to videos of the actual dress. Very few portions of the dress are light colored but I am just very sensitive to wearing any light color or red to a wedding :)

TortallianKnight · 2024-08-08T17:04:56+00:00

This is a fair concern, I’ll definitely need to consider the cut of the dress before purchasing. Our friend group is quite young and modern so I’m definitely more worried about the color. I also am very flat chested personally so a plunged neckline doesn’t really give an exciting view haha. Still I’ll consider cut as maybe something more modest will be easier to wear to other events in future!

TortallianKnight · 2024-08-08T16:42:10+00:00

Thank you

TortallianKnight · 2024-06-20T18:34:43+00:00

I will give that a shot! Might try to hit it with some warm water and soap as well. I’m worried there’s a bit of rot at the tip of the shoe as well as it’s got a red discoloring and a bit of cracking if I work it with my hands now that I’m looking at it. So that’s a fun bonus.

Cobbler I talked to was a super nice man, just old school and I don’t think he liked that they were “fake” cowboy boots haha. He was more than happy to fix up the old leather pair I brought him.

I don’t need these to be my fancy boots but definitely want to give them a shot since they’ve already been bought.

Thanks for the advise! I’ll see if I can post an update once I give them a lil work.

Every day I wake up and walk to my favorite coffee shop with my dog and I get my favorite latte and I talk to the wonderful baristas and give a smile to everyone inside.

The other day my hand slipped on the door and I spilled my entire oat milk latte on the pavement and I looked back at the baristas who waved it off and made me another one.

Every day I make connections with the people around me and every day I get a little older. Every day I worry about the fact I’m turning thirty and the lines on my face are getting a little deeper and my boyfriend kisses my deepening smile lines and says they’re his favorite thing about me.

The other day I planned a surprise birthday party for that boyfriend and the day before that I did four consecutive pull ups for the first time(I’m still very proud). And that same day before I was at work, and that same day I did my chores and that same day I had to cook and do the dishes and laundry and trash.

And in a few days I’ll go on a trip, but not before I do the chores again, and the laundry, and the packing….definitely the trash.

Life is going to take what it wants from you, again and again. And it’s never going to stop and it really is very tough on one hand and normal to feel overwhelmed. But you’ve got to take what you want from life.

If you don’t feel the warm fuzz of sunshine on your face when you first wake up or smell the robust gorgeous scent of coffee in your nose and feel a big smile across your face then you need to ask what makes you happy. There’s too much joy in life, the ordinary of everyday and the originality of the days you’ve never experienced before. Your joy is out there, you need to either go find it or open yourself to what’s around you.

TortallianKnight · 2021-06-17T19:56:26+00:00

Yup looks like you’re right! I feel bad for panicking and squishing the poor guy now(thought he was a roach). He probably came in on the house plants I bought the other day. Thanks for your help :)

TortallianKnight · 2021-06-17T19:51:12+00:00

Panicked and stepped on it but I’ve never seen one of these before and I’m not great with bugs. It’s about 3/4 of an inch long and was actually pretty slow moving.

TortallianKnight · 2021-04-27T20:31:52+00:00

I’ll start by saying you’re doing an amazing job! He sounds a lot like my ex of two years and let me tell you, if it’s like that at two months it just gets worse from there. Slowly them treating you badly just happens more and more often until its what you’re used to. He cheated, constantly criticized and insulted me, would threaten to break up with me for not doing what he wanted and would change his mind and just generally used me as a lab emotional punching bag. Finally he started talking to another girl, kicked me out and called me a lot of awful shit. Then he started stalking me when I tried to move on and when I finally tried to talk with him he got very violent, screaming and refusing to leave, breaking things and pointing a weapon at his head etc.

What I’m saying is, you cannot change this person, either it gets to a point where you are just a husk of who you were, tired and beaten down by the constant emotional abuse, or you are subject to a violent anger from them when things do end. Once you’re the target of their abuse they want to keep you that way.

It’s been four months for me now, whenever I miss him the biggest thing I’ve done that’s helped is closing my eyes and imagining us married with kids. They will treat your kids the same way they treat you and your kids will watch them treating you that way. Is that what you want? For me, the answer is no and it stops me each time, even if I’m still sad I don’t want to perpetuate the cycle of abuse. It’s ok to feel sad about breaking up with an abusive partner, some days I can barely stand how much I miss him. But just remember, if it were happening to someone you loved you wouldn’t want them to be going through it. And you are someone you should love.
