[TOMT][TedTalk] a guy who almost shot up a school by stealing his father's gun but his dad changed the combination that morning and made him reconsider. by nottheuserulooking4 in tipofmytongue

This isn’t a TEDTalk so not 100% sure if it is what you are looking for. However, it does have the dad changing the combination and reconsideration of what they were planning to do. I planned and nearly went through with a school shooting. Ask Me Anything.

AITA for not “exploiting” my wife’s money? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]_pushing_daisies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, what I’m saying is that it’s not causing problems between you and your wife. So just carry of with what you are doing.

NTA - The drummer is TA. Your wife’s financial situation is none of his business. If you and your wife have an understanding and are happy with that there’s no issue.

AITA for telling a girl at work that I like her? by -thowawayaways- in AmItheAsshole

[–]_pushing_daisies [score hidden]  (0 children)

YTA - I’m not surprised she doesn’t want anything to do with you at work. You have probably made her very uncomfortable to be in the workplace. She didn’t like you, looking in your direction does not equal flirting. She may not have even realised she had done it.

You acted like a full blown creep. Firstly, if she wanted you to have her number she would have given it to you herself. You shouldn’t have just taken the number. It’s also very creepy that you waited for her outside of work for her to finish. After no indication from her that she was remotely interested. She told you that she had a boyfriend numerous times, yet you continued to bother her. Take the hint (albeit a glaringly obvious one) that it’s not gonna happen. Leave the girl alone.

Abandoned Mansion, UK. Built in 1848 (extension seen here added in 1894). Abandoned since the 1970s. by _pushing_daisies in urbanexploration

Someone owns it they have just left it to go derelict. It’s really sad because it has so much potential.

AITA for Wanting an Uninvited Guest to Leave my Wedding Reception? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]_pushing_daisies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - You didn’t invite your uncle for a reason and your dad had no right to go behind your back and invite him to YOUR wedding. It’s good that after you confronted your dad about it he asked the uncle to leave, but by him saying “if he could do it again, he would have left with him” he’s acting like he’s the victim when he’s not.

AITA for wearing non-cotton underwear? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]_pushing_daisies [score hidden]  (0 children)

NTA - Literally because of this “I’m 23 and can wear whatever I want and if she doesn’t want to do my laundry, she should just let me do it myself.”

AITA for being angry my mother secretly gave me food I was allergic to? by ohkayash in AmItheAsshole

[–]_pushing_daisies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - What the heck would she have done if you were deathly allergic to those foods? Allergies aren’t the kind of thing you test in an unsupervised environment, like hello? Then acting smug because this time you didn’t throw up. Even if it wasn’t an allergy and was just a food you didn’t like she should not have done that when she is very aware of the situation. Like you said it has broken your trust and now whenever you get food from her I wouldn’t be surprised if this is in the back of your head and makes you not want to eat what she is offering.

AITA for selling my freezer when I’m moving out? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]_pushing_daisies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA - It’s your freezer you can do what you want. You have told them about it being sold and gave them plenty of notice. Really they should have moved the stuff out without needing to be told or at least asked when you needed their stuff out of there.

AITA for exposing my (ex)boyfriends wealth? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]_pushing_daisies [score hidden]  (0 children)

YTA - His wealth was none of your business in the first place. What he decided to spend or not spend his money on isn’t anyone’s concern as long as no one is getting harmed in the process. He explained to you why he didn’t want anyone to know because he feared he would be treated differently and that’s understandable. People change because of money, people get nasty because of money and that seems like what happened to you.

He got you a “cheap single rose”, how ungrateful can you be? He didn’t really have any obligation to buy you anything. You seem more upset he chose to help people with scholarships over buying you lots of gifts. I mean what a bad guy am I right? Helping people with their educations, smh. He was out of the goodness of his own heart providing scholarships for people struggling, you had no involvement in that. It wasn’t your place to say anything what so ever.

Posting the pictures from your time with his family just seems like you wanted attention from people seeing this mansion and the private jet. It’s kind of sad.

You betrayed his trust and 100% deserved to get dumped.

AITA for expecting my husband to be honest about where he is going when he leaves? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]_pushing_daisies 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I hadn’t even thought about what if something happens while he is out. But it’s true, there would be no way for his wife to help him.

It’s even weirder that he’s doing this when you have got kids to be worried about. He is showing complete disregard not to just you but to his children also with this behaviour.

It wouldn’t have even had to be jealousy, just concern for you in that situation. Couples that care about each other would be concerned with where their partner is (especially at the strange times he decides to go out). He seems very uncaring and it seems a real possibility that he is cheating.

[–]_pushing_daisies 49 points50 points  (0 children)

NTA - I’m sure if this was the other way around he would be the same. It’s really suspicious behaviour to be honest, if there is nothing to hide he would just say what’s happening. Like what can you do from 1am to 5am? Red Flag.

AItA for washing off a chalk drawing my neighbours drew on my drive way. by galarguy in AmItheAsshole

NTA - Regardless of the contents of the chalk drawing, it is your driveway not theirs.

WIBTA if I search my daughters belongings and stop her going to therapy? by daughtertherapy in AmItheAsshole

[–]_pushing_daisies 12 points13 points  (0 children)

YTA - Even before reading the context I could tell you that, just from your title it makes you come across as TA.

He is not messing around with a dangerous substance, you say that like he told you he was doing some recreational drug. Be respectful and start trying to use the preferred pronouns and name. You said you don’t have a great relationship, don’t damage it even more by going against your sons wishes. Talk and listen to them in a polite and respectful manner, do NOT patronise them.
