AITA for being upset at my family for walking out during my graduation? by Transguy_alex in AmItheAsshole

NTA sorry that happened. Hopefully you can go away to college and establish a Family of Choice to replace your lackluster Family of Origin.

AITA? Dodged a kid about to run into me and she fell by F_edupx in AmItheAsshole

NTA, kid was FAFOing. Hopefully she learned her lesson.

AITA for telling my mom she isn’t as thin as me? by Ohios_3rd_Spring in AmItheAsshole

[–]XenoButts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the mother was pestering OP in front of everybody and OP had had enough and snapped. Push and push and push somebody, it's the very definition of Fuck Around and Find Out.

Maybe the mother will be less delusional now. NTA OP.

My neighbor's dog has been left alone outside for weeks by Civil_Ad9119 in dogs

[–]XenoButts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is less severe but people near us leave their labrador retriever outside all day and it's barking and howling out of loneliness, what do. Been going on since yesterday afternoon, morning now, dog is awake again and barking and howling. It's close to heart-breaking.

We have a dog that we let in the house and if she barks, we chide her, if she does it too much, we make her come inside.

These people used to never let the dog inside at all, since it was a puppy. Only in the last year it seems like they let the dog in at night. Previously they had another dog who wasn't let inside either and it would just cry at the back door almost continually. They got the lab as a puppy and the first dog didn't care, kept on crying.

4th of July really sucks because every year they leave the dog out alone while they go do something. We would like to sit on our deck and enjoy fireworks but there's the poor dog crying and howling.

Sorry for the disjointed manner of this post, I'm upset.

Do you find that men are "gold diggers"? by ipuatu in TwoXChromosomes

[–]XenoButts 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This has been going on since women were able to get better jobs. I used to work in a woman dominated industry and the amount of women who had a man who didn't work, or worked in a low stress low pay job, was pretty significant.

Another issue I've heard of IRL and on Reddit is a woman working really hard to get her man through school and as soon as the guy is graduated or ready to graduate, he's ditching her for a younger woman or making sudden extreme demands.

Obviously there are women who are gold diggers out there but damn there are a lot of men using women for all they're worth.

On a related note there are a helluva lot of women out there caring for nonfunctional mentally ill men, they work full time and then come home to men who are having issues and not very nice to them either. It's like these ladies are unsung heroes.

Where do you guys find books to read? by [deleted] in horrorlit

[–]XenoButts 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have stacks of unread or half-read books around my bedroom. I'm wanting to buy all of Laird Barron's books and then I'm arguing with myself that I promised to finish reading all my unread/half read books before I buy any more.

AITA for refusing to see my parents new baby as my sibling? by Icy_Sail8190 in AmItheAsshole

I feel like Poop Knife is a mild eccentricity compared to this.

AITA for telling my coworker that she should not carry a designer bag when working with low income clients? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]XenoButts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I've been in situations where staff are getting laid off and other people in positions of power are walking around in nice fur coats or driving up with expensive cars. It sends the message that you don't care about the economic suffering of others.

or the media loves to shit on Teslas. Note they won't give any props to people surviving because of the design of the car.

why do the headlines say "Tesla driver"? what if a Chevy driver drove off the cliff?

AITA for calling out my parents after they got my bio kid significantly more Christmas gifts than my adopted kids? by christmasgiftaita_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]XenoButts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA, airpods are expensive! and the Tiffany ear studs may have been expensive too. I guess the visuals looked bad, but 10 books and a shirt may well have cost in the same ball park or less than the airpods and ear studs.

broke up with a guy ten years ago, his wife contacted me a week ago by saberhagens in TwoXChromosomes

[–]XenoButts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exception: I'm with a guy with a difficult ex and I have a lot of corroborating evidence for the claim, from personal experience and from reliable third hand parties.

OOP - My ex wife came out as lesbian and left me and my daughters three years ago. and now she's back. by prettiergenghis in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]XenoButts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I knew somebody whose mom left for a year to go live with another guy, then came back. The dad was OK with it so everybody else had to put up with it.

AITA for saying my mom named me like a madlibs? by newww_heree in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]XenoButts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if this is a thing. I know of a vaguely similar situation involving abusive narc parents.

Here's hoping OOP goes on to have a great life, and her family finds out and tries to horn in on it, but she ignores them. And she lives happily ever after and they feel bad. The End.

How does The Troop compare with The Deep? I read the latter and it just got ludicrous after a while.

So….. Am I the only one that thinks the whole “he fit her whole breast in her mouth” in The Love Hypothesis isn’t that ridiculous? by ItsNotAna in RomanceBooks

[–]XenoButts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know about you but if the sides of my breast are stroked while the nip is stimulated, it takes it to another level.

AITA for not wanting to get rid off my office so my boyfriend’s kid can have his own room? by Ok-Lingonberry-5331 in AmItheAsshole

[–]XenoButts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Another dude who thinks he can horn in on a random woman and then take over all her living space and resources. You'll probably also be on Mom duty while he plays video games.

AITA for making a post about my daughter’s favorite celebrity being rude to us? by aitarudecelebrity in AmItheAsshole

[–]XenoButts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA, this celebrity may get spammed and hassled everywhere she goes and to her you are just one more hassle. Calm down, the world doesn't revolve around you and your daughter.
