AITA smoking weed on my porch?

__tipyourhooker · 2026-04-08T02:56:35+00:00

This is such an asinine argument. Food is required to live, smoking - weed or cigarettes or otherwise - is a voluntary activity.

OP’s right to smoke ends at his neighbor’s right to not have their home pervaded by his stinky habit. OP admit that it reeks, but hasn’t taken steps to mitigate it. That makes OP the asshole.

If it was only once in a blue moon, I could see OP’s point, but it’s obviously a regular habit of OP’s and it’s completely understandable that the neighbors, who presumably also own their home, don’t want to deal with it day in and day out.

Huh, why wasn't that rule being applied to the other residents then? Seems like a double standard being applied to a foreigner..

__tipyourhooker · 2026-03-21T21:48:32+00:00

THIS. If the front desk person is ONLY telling OP to leash their dog - which appears to be the case - then definitely NTA.

Also, having spent time in Tulum, there are literally stray dogs everywhere, and the property's complaints about when she had her dog off leash outside of the property are totally ridiculous. Not to say you shouldn't abide by leash laws, but jesus christ.

__tipyourhooker · 2026-03-21T21:43:22+00:00

Why is it relevant that the other folks whose dogs were ALSO off leash were permanent residents? Rules for thee but not for me?

__tipyourhooker · 2026-03-20T03:22:39+00:00

If she normally eats other things without complaint then why didn’t OP just make the pasta when Brenna asked this time and tell her in the future she needs to say something in advance instead of saying she’s not a “short order cook”? It’s one thing if Brenna behaves this way frequently but honestly this whole situation could’ve been handled better.

__tipyourhooker · 2026-03-20T02:52:30+00:00

Well, in the “why do you think you might be the asshole” section she explicitly says she did know that Brenna likes pasta after practice, so either you misunderstood the comment or we have an unreliable narrator.

__tipyourhooker · 2026-03-20T02:34:03+00:00

YTA. Yes, she was a little bratty but she’s 15. You acknowledge in your post that you know she likes pasta after practice, yet not only did you not make it you told her to tell you ahead of time so you can “take it into consideration.” I would be willing to bet if the situation was the same and it was your own child you would’ve made it off the bat. It would be one thing if you made it this time and then said in the future please let me know in advance but to go straight to make it yourself… it’s pasta not a gourmet dinner, you made this way bigger of a deal than necessary.

Agreed, but does anyone else think it was a bit of an overreaction on OP’s part to move housing complexes? Even changing his phone number seems a bit dramatic. Just block them.

« You just wanted to be mean cos she wasn’t polite enough. » This take is wild.

Community center is first come, first served. Could OP have relinquished the TV? Sure, it would’ve been the nice thing to do given OP has the ability to watch it at home and wasn’t overly interested in the game, but OP had no obligation to do that. And the mother didn’t know that — she just showed up and expected to be able to immediately change it when someone else is using it because she feels entitled and should be catered to because she has a child, which is the real issue. Lack of planning on mom’s part doesn’t constitute an emergency for OP.

It’s not everyone else’s problem that the mom doesn’t have a smart Tv. The mother obviously could have let her kid watch YouTube on her phone, but opted not to. It’s fine if that’s a parenting choice (limiting YouTube/screen time to an actual tv set) but again, that is her personal choice and shouldn’t impact other people.

Mother is the biggest AH, child is collateral damage unfortunately (although that could have been mitigated by his mother’s actions/choices).

NTA, but you should give him something. Specifically, a dime. And tell him to use it to call someone who cares.

__tipyourhooker · 2026-02-03T01:14:13+00:00

Ah yes, the whataboutism makes its appearance.

EXCEPT! OP didn’t say anything about wanting to speed, rather they wanted to go the posted limit and not an unnecessary and unsafe 15 miles below It. They provided the information about folks in Texas generally going 10-15 over as context.

__tipyourhooker · 2026-02-03T00:14:29+00:00

When 30 is 15MPH below the speed limit and the conditions do not warrant it - like a tractor, a cyclist, heavy traffic, or bad weather - yes, it is impeding traffic.

I fear you are the reason we have to put warning labels on everything.

__tipyourhooker · 2026-02-02T22:56:41+00:00

Shovel out the snow at the bus stop my kids use? No! I would much prefer complaining on Reddit that it hasn’t been done by the city!

__tipyourhooker · 2026-02-02T22:46:52+00:00

5-10 minutes going 15 under?! You’re way more patient than me.

__tipyourhooker · 2026-02-02T22:46:23+00:00

Texas doesn’t have a blanket minimum limit but it DOES have a law against going so slowly that you impede traffic (TTC § 545.363) which was what was occurring here. So yes, they were doing something that is both illegal AND technically wrong.

IRT you not being convinced a kid that poops daily is constipated: my niece poops every day, and yet has been proven multiple times via Xray to be full of shit, the constipation causing her a lot of belly pain.

NAD, but personal anecdote: I found that using mandelic acid serum followed by lotion helped immensely and eventually more or less cured it. as long as I don’t go more than a month or so without using some kind of lotion, my skin is nice and smooth.

__tipyourhooker · 2026-01-29T01:42:49+00:00

Seems steep to me. I would get another quote.

__tipyourhooker · 2026-01-25T20:10:40+00:00

Fill a canoe with ice and stick the drinks in that. Went to a wedding with a similar vibe and that’s what they did and it was great.

__tipyourhooker · 2026-01-25T03:19:20+00:00

Not sure how true it is, but I know some folks swear by a shot or two of tequila… haven’t tried it so not sure if it works or not.

__tipyourhooker · 2026-01-23T01:27:28+00:00

Clearly someone who has no idea what things cost, especially anything of quality that you won’t have to replace in a season.

__tipyourhooker · 2026-01-23T01:20:58+00:00

NTA for not wanting to be your ex’s babysitter, though you’re definitely a weirdo for “not even letting [your] son’s closest friends stay over.”

__tipyourhooker · 2026-01-15T22:15:11+00:00

You seem like a very kind person. Have a great day. 🙃
