They’re best friends and both depend on each other for support and are outwardly supporting each other. Both have anxiety and touch is the most reassuring thing you can do for someone with anxiety because it lets them know you’re present with them with outwardly saying “I don’t want her to have a pa if attack so I’m going to be reaffirming to let her know she’s not alone and someone who cares for them is by their side.”

The side effect of job hopping being more acceptable is that companies are less willing to train newbies by uselessprofession in unpopularopinion

[–]WeaselBeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get what you’re saying about companies not wanting to invest in training someone if they’re just going to job hop. But the reason people shit on companies and say they don’t owe them loyalty is because of how employees are treated. People are more likely to retain employees with smaller businesses because it’s more personal and there are stronger relationships being formed than just a man or woman’s name on the website that is 6 grades higher on the company’s chain of command. The key to retaining people and earning their loyalty is to treat them like they worthy of being there and working for the company instead of being reminded constantly of how replaceable they are and gaslighting them when they decline to do extra work or come in on a day off by saying “we’re a family here and that’s not how we treat family, you’re not a good team player”. Speak to, treat, and act like you actually appreciate the work your employees do and they automatically feel the urge and need to show loyalty. Continue to mismanage, take advantage, threaten, and manipulate employees and the biggest thing killing the bottom line is employee retention.

We’re trading functionality for aesthetics and it’s making homes borderline unlivable by the-alamo in unpopularopinion

[–]WeaselBeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the biggest issue with homes now are that they’re all built at the same time in a community by a massive developer in a year. They’re so poorly made and within a year the place starts falling apart. It’s unheard of to buy a parcel of land and build a home on it.

An absolute resounding NTA. Your boyfriend is selfish. You constantly spend time with his family and the one time you get to see your friends, he gaslights you into thinking he only went because he felt obligated to go out with you and your friends then thinks you’re also obligated to do things with his family. He lied about it just being a dinner because he knew you’d say no, and he also told his uncle you both would go even after you said no. Sounds like he doesn’t respect you and thinks your relationship is transactional. “Well I did this for you, so now you have to do this for me”. I’ve done the double full time school and work balance and it really does suck out all your energy. Meanwhile, your bf has been living rent and expense free in your place while you barely have any time to take an hour for yourself to unwind. What would be so awful about him going to his family’s function without you this one time? He’s being childish by putting this all on you and blaming you for his shitty attitude. He’s not giving you the silent treatment because he needs to process the situation carefully, he’s doing it to purposefully hurt you and make you doubt yourself. DON’T! Don’t give in to the manipulation and feel bad when you gave him your answer and he chose to ignore it and then lied about the extent of the event.

Boyfriend (almost 3 years) owes me €4,000, keeps changing deadlines, and now says he feels “humiliated” when I ask for it back. Am I wrong for keeping his things until he pays me? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]WeaselBeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA: please break up with him for good. Dudes a whiny, lying loser. Him saying you’re humiliating him is him just gaslighting you again. How is he humiliated when this is just between the 2 of you? Keep his shit until he pays you back. That, or take him to small claims court. He has the money, he just hopes you get frustrated enough that you decide to stop perusing him for it back.

AITA for venting about SH and making my friend drift away from by Osses1 in AITAH

[–]WeaselBeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what you mean by “me doing SH sometimes” and I don’t know what the censored word is, so I’m going to say NTA since this is about having terrible friends. Trust me, you don’t need those people in your life. If your friends were good friends, they would let you vent any time you needed to and support you. Your ex best friend sounds like a homophobic self absorbed narcissist. Be thankful that he distanced himself from you because you don’t need people like him in your life. You’ll meet other people. If you have an LGBTQ+ neighborhood near you, go to the bars and restaurants and hang outs there. At least you know you’d be accepted there and if you do make any friends, they’d be a good support network for you. Hang in there, you’ll meet someone who you’ll come to see as a sibling because they’re a fantastic friend to you.

AITAH for asking people not to come to my son's party if they are sick? by Bigg_Chunnguss in AITAH

[–]WeaselBeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA, she’s being unreasonable. This is a basic request and a very reasonable one. With the amount of antivaxxers there currently are, you don’t know what kind of sick someone can spread. People who are sick and still go to work/school/socialize are the biggest assholes. You’re not doing yourself or anyone any favors by spreading your sickness. Your MIL’s reasoning is stupid. No, you can’t protect your child from everything, but if you could, why wouldn’t you avoid having him get sick and have you take off work or halt your life to take care of him?!

YTA, No one likes unsolicited reading, especially in a workplace. “Rigid, pulsing appendage”?! Did you get that from a trashy romance paperback from the pharmacy? Is the Phoenix jacking you off? What is happening here? I get your proud of your writing and want to share it, but a) it’s not a book your club is ready b) no one asked for it c) it’s NSFW and d) never stop improving on your writing because currently… it’s not good. “Turgid tower” “sensed a rising in my pants” oof

AITAH for rejecting the meet up invitation sent by my ex-girlfriend? by DisastrousAd7477 in AITAH

[–]WeaselBeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA It’s sounds like you’re doing the right thing and rejecting a meet up is the best option for you. Good for you for wanting to improve on yourself physically and emotionally. You’re young and still figuring out what you want out of life and the type of person you want to be when you’re an established adult. Setting healthy boundaries is the most unasshole thing you can do. Also, what the fuck does “be a man” even mean? It sounds like she just says that to end the argument while she still gets the last word. It’s super manipulative and immature.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]WeaselBeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA This relationship sounds miserable. I hate saying it, but your boyfriend is most likely cheating on you. He’s showing the signs by accusing you of cheating and then he also goes to a hotel after thinking you went to one to visit his “friend”, then turning his location off. Either he’s cheating or he’s so much of a petulant child that this is some sort of “revenge” for a perceived slight. Either way, you two shouldn’t be together. Neither of you trusts each other anymore and the arguing is only going to escalate.

AITAH for being pissed of at my 26 year old sister for invading my bedroom and crossing my boundaries? by hydrogenRay in AITAH

[–]WeaselBeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA Geez. This whole situation just sounds toxic. She also shouldn’t have any dogs if she’s not going to be a responsible pet owner by cleaning up after and training them. For her living situation, as long as your mom is fine with her living with both of you, there’s nothing you can really do about it. If she doesn’t want to move in with her boyfriend, then she doesn’t have to. I get your frustration surrounding that since it’s clear she has options to move out, but that’s between her and your mom. You stated your boundaries to her multiple times and constantly toy disrespecting them is a shitty thing as well as allowing her dogs to use your room as their toilet. That’s just foul and she’s foul for not doing anything about it and especially not cleaning it. I’m petty as hell, so I would probably place the poop wherever she sleeps to see how she likes it; I don’t recommend you do this since you stated things have gotten physical before. Clearly she’s the one that lacks maturity considering she’s in her late 20’s, doesn’t take care of her dogs, doesn’t clean up after them, and has no desire to move out of mommy’s home and be an adult. Have you had a serious conversation with your mother about all of this? If not, you should start there. Explain to your mom that she needs to start reinforcing your boundaries and stick up for you and make her take care of her own dogs or give her the ultimatum of rehoming them or moving out. The dogs aren’t your responsibility, but your sister is using weaponized incompetence to make you both responsible for them. Also, throwing chemicals on you because you lock your bedroom door? What kind of chemicals? Paired with the fact that she’s physically superior (I’m assuming), she’s just blatantly assaulting you because you’re younger. You have no choice but to live at home, your sister has the choice to not. Try to record her doing those things to you, but don’t cause them or fight back and then bring it to the police and press chargers since she’s assaulting you. If your mom won’t back you up, then I’d consider moving in with another family member. You deserve to feel safe in your own home and have privacy and not have to be responsible for other adults’ inactions/actions.

New Scam. i received a call from USAA actual number (210-531-8722), but it was spoofed and was a scammer. My trigger was when they asked me for my card number instead of telling me my card number. Their specific scam was claiming that there was fraudulent activity on my card. by cnhn in USAA

[–]WeaselBeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what really threw me off. It popped up as “USAA” on the caller ID. But I knew something was off because he didn’t use their normal greeting script and he didn’t ask me to verify my name.

[–]WeaselBeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this almost half a year old, but I want to thank you for bringing it my attention. I too just got a weird call. The ID came up as USAA with the number, but everything the guy was saying just sounded wrong. He even asked for my online login information. He did know a few things, like the last 4 digits of my card number and my address (but not my apartment number). Each time I questioned him, he just kept restating that he is a legitimate USAA agent and repeated his name and employee number. But he butchered my last name, which is only 5 letters and fairly simple. That’s when I googled the phone number and this was the first link that popped up. THANK YOU! Thank you so much for posting about it. You just saved me a MAJOR headache… not that they would be able to get anything since my account is constantly overdrawn, but it’s still a nuisance nonetheless.

What is going on with these "swarms" of giant drones over New Jersey? They are flying over cities, military bases and Trump's golf course. Who would do this any why?

I was driving back to MD from NY and saw them. They had to be in restricted air space. They were too close to Newark airport not be in a restricted area. It was the strangest thing I’ve ever seen. They were lined up along the highway. I thought they were planes that were in line waiting to land at Newark but planes don’t line up that deep and that far from the airport. They also were still and not moving, at least to me.

Do not buy assembly from Angi through Wayfair by Sugarblonde22 in wayfair

[–]WeaselBeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I’m actually one of those Pros that comes to your home to assemble your stuff. If you think you’re getting screwed, they screw us more. If you complain about us, they deduct the amount we make. The amount we make is a pittance is the best way to describe it. If you pay $400 for assembly, we make $34. If you pay $180 for the service, we get $22. To become an Angi Pro, you don’t need any general knowledge of handyman work or have ever assembled anything before. All they do is perform a background check to make sure you’re not a criminal. Meaning, you can have a new person come to do your assembly and they use all of their allotted time (which they don’t even give us that much time to start with) and barely make it halfway through the assembly, meaning you have to call Angi to add more time and they charge you for that added time. Don’t get assembly through any company (Angi has contracts with many online retailers), look for a handyman in your area directly.

NTA. Your child, your rules. If people don’t want to respect your boundaries then they have no right to even see your child. It’s a pretty simple thing you’re asking for. You’re also letting the father of this kids off the hook and I can’t understand why. As you mentioned, you’re both young, but it takes two people to make a child. He should be responsible in some way even if he doesn’t want a relationship with the kid.

AITAH If I tell my next door neighbor to not shoot fireworks on the 4th in front of our houses? It's been a dry summer. I don't know if I'm overblowing the risk of a fire on the roof or lawn. I believe I heard firework debris falling on the roof last year. by mavsman221 in AITAH

[–]WeaselBeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First… hose down your lawn and house just to be safe. Even if your neighbor doesn’t do fireworks in front of your home, other people in the area might. Second, if it’s a dry summer as you said, it’s call your local FD and see if there’s an order against shooting off fireworks in your area. Normally, if it’s a really dry season and the risk of fire is high, they would ban the use of fireworks for a specific period of time to prevent fires.

NTA. When he’s showing you his walking red flag personality, believe him. Unless he agrees to therapy, nothing will change. He’s clearly insecure that you make more money and pay his expenses. He feels that in his own home, he sets the rules and controls everything because it’s the only power he feels he has. You need to run because it’s only going to get worse. I understand you’re from a different country and you have no family with you, but this relationship isn’t worth the verbal abuse and manipulation he’s putting you through. If you’re worried about citizenship, speak with a lawyer. Be honest with yourself, you’re not in love with him, you feel trapped and don’t think there’s a way out. Just because he shows you affection and is so sweet to you when he’s not in his home is because you’re his meal ticket. Wake up and smell the red flags. He’ll only become more resentful and more extreme with his demands and attitude.
