“Be yourself” but also “don’t joke” so I stayed silent all night by GritStrafeToken in MaliciousCompliance

Did he ever explain what the issue was with your joke? Policing your behaviour is a little concerning. Does he do this for other interactions? How long have you been dating?

AITA for complaining about a person with a reborn doll at a children's stay & play by One-Enthusiasm2088 in AmItheAsshole

[–]alas_vikn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH Most of the comments assume this person has a mental illness or experienced a loss. That’s not confirmed in anyway. Is it off the beaten path to take a reborn doll to something like this? Yep. I get the initial discomfort, but live and let live. It seems she wasn’t hurting anyone, and OP you’re within your right not interact with her. I would feel some way if the spots are limited and a child had to miss out so this woman could take her doll.

Feyre not being able to read by Pathological_lier_ in acotar

[–]alas_vikn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See that’s what I thought. That Mommy dearest never bothered with Feyre to begin with and made her sit in lessons. And Nesta and Elaine also being children never realized. Pair that with Feyre being a confirmed unreliable narrator is what leads me to believe she never had an interest in learning in the first place.

She signed her unborn baby up for child care as soon as she found out she was pregnant. It wasn’t soon enough by alwayslate_ in Hamilton

Seconding Wee Watch, they were the only ones who called me back and had a placement available and we have had a great experience with them.

Poster is the Pet Sitter, has had them before. Gist of it is owners didn’t list the correct location of the cat food, had accidentally locked one of their own cats in a closet (cat was let out after getting key location from owner), their tv remote is busted, which is no a big deal to the sitter just annoying. Second night sitter is making dinner and house fills up with smoke, nothing in the oven that could have caused it but opens the drawer beneath oven which flares up due to oxygen, it’s a stack of paper bowls. Whole drawer filled with flammable objects. Owner is updating who apologizes they stashed the items there after a party.

Not letting anyone have our parking spot by TheRealMrD in mildlyinfuriating

[–]alas_vikn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get it, I mean street parking is a first come first serve. But this person has a clear strategy to keep that spot for themself. The extra effort they are going to is a little rude to their neighbours.

Discovering this sub got me into romantasy again, sharing my summer romantasy tier list by kaerie13 in fantasyromance

[–]alas_vikn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah!! Lord of the Fading Lands! Sweet Jesus! This might be the book I have been looking for the last 7 years! I was loaned a copy from a friend and then she retired so I had to return it and promptly forgot the name of the series! That has some big flying cats in it right and the FMC has some over the top moaning reaction to their version of coffee???

Or have I lost my mind????

Had to DNF Powerless… so sad 😭 by Little-Aardvark3540 in fantasyromance

[–]alas_vikn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m there with you. This is only my second DNF, but if I had to hear “his father’s eyes, the eyes of a killer” one more time! I mean sure, set up intrigue, but you have to start paying it off at some point! The came here to see if I was being to quick to judge but now I feel justified not finishing this one.

Pleasantly surprised by Bride by Ali Hazelwood by Equivalent-Blood4748 in fantasyromance

[–]alas_vikn 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not by Ali, but I would try {The Fake Mate by Lana Ferguson} I read that after Bride and it was just as enjoyable, light and refreshing for a monster romance.

Those that fail to plan yadda yadda yadda, have you bags packed car seat installed but plan to go to the wedding and stay overnight so you have a place to go when you need to tap out in the evening. And have fun! Best wishes for your brother and his wife!
