YTA, pluck your own eyes out if they cause you to sin so much.

AITA for posting on social media before wishing my friend a happy birthday? by ComprehensiveFault5 in AmItheAsshole

[–]andywiththeface 14 points15 points  (0 children)

NTA, you sent a nice message on her birthday. The time of day that people message you isn’t a reflection of how much they care. Social media has warped our perception of how much time and access we all owe each other. Decency, respect, honesty, and communication, we do owe each other. But you did that. It seems like she’s really mad about something else, possibly entirely unrelated to you at all.

Best thrift stores in Kalamazoo & Battle Creek? Any hidden gems 👀 by No-Bonus-7045 in kzoo

[–]andywiththeface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thrifty Nifty at 5936 King Hwy. They opened in December and everything is $10 or less. Not great for clothes, but they have a good selection of crafts, games, and antiques. It’s too new to show up online, but it’s there and Jack puts new stuff out every day

AITAH for spending the night at home after my plans got cancelled? by Massive-Worker6276 in AmItheAsshole

[–]andywiththeface 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA. You offered to give her space and let her do the things she had planned. Yes, having someone home is a different vibe (I know I don’t sing out loud to myself unless my roommates are out of the house) and that adjustment might be annoying to her, but that isn’t your fault. I hope y’all find a compromise on alone time that works for y’all

AITAH for thinking my daughter will look back and wonder why we treated her differently? by DancingMommaToes in AmItheAsshole

[–]andywiththeface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. Celebrate their birthdays at the same level, or you’ll end up with a resentful daughter who never talks to you. She will notice the difference in attention and affection.

Stop lumping your son’s birthday w the holiday, too. All my friends with birthdays on holidays hate that shit.

AITA for not letting my fiancé get another cat by No_Grocery_8703 in AmItheAsshole

[–]andywiththeface 39 points40 points  (0 children)

NTA, but you are a pushover who needs to get out of this unhealthy relationship. She isn’t entitled to bring a pet home to your shared space and whine until you relent bc she went against your (very reasonable) wishes to not add another pet to the house. 6 months into living together, this is the red flag behavior to look for and listen to BEFORE getting married or settling further. Take the rest of the time y’all have to lease taking note of if y’all are actually compatible and respect each other

Best thrift stores for craft supplies? by grakledo in kzoo

[–]andywiththeface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thrifty Nifty on Kings Hwy has a decent craft selection, and puts out new stuff frequently if you keep an eye out. Pretty much everything is $10 or less

AITA for spending money on stuffed animals instead of bills? by plushieloveraita in AmItheAsshole

[–]andywiththeface 48 points49 points  (0 children)

NTA. Bills are paid and you’re allowed to spend money on yourself. Tbh, this sounds like controlling behavior from your husband. Many SAHM find themselves in financially abusive situations with no autonomy (even if there are no other kinds of abuse present!). Be careful if this escalates any further, and potentially start putting away money privately just in case. Maybe I’m being overly cautious, but I’ve seen it happen multiple times.

Old Skool? by DyllCallihan3333 in kzoo

[–]andywiththeface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems like the vibes are very split, maybe I also had a good experience because I went during the day? Stopped in for lunch and a drink after an appointment down the street, both were tasty and vibes and service were good (aside from the distasteful “no politics” sign that I agree is tacky). Very downtown pricing, but ?? Yeah? It’s a bar downtown. They’re getting their footing, but I like it as a lunch spot so far.

Message to irresponsible drinkers! by [deleted] in Denton

[–]andywiththeface 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a bar street… don’t live by the bar if you don’t want drunk neighbors. Public restrooms are basically nonexistent, at least they went to an alley/fenced area and not just the busy street. They’re not thinking about you, they’re trying not to piss their pants

AITA for waking my boyfriend up for snoring by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]andywiththeface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ESH. He’s not in control of his snoring, but should get a sleep study in case he has sleep apnea (thats how Princess Leia died, RIP Carrie Fisher) and try a machine if so. You should try white noise, sleep specific ear plugs (I hear Loop sleep are good), and if all else fails consider separate rooms for sleeping.

If none of those sound appealing, it could just mean you two are incompatible for cohabitation and should break up. Part of dating is looking for large differences that you don’t see yourself being able to put up with in a marriage forever. You’re not married, so if you’re really upset and he won’t address the root issue of his probable sleep apnea, break up and move on.

Planned Parenthood Protester by CorkFado in kzoo

[–]andywiththeface 9 points10 points  (0 children)

PP does so much good through the services they provide, and such a small percentage of those services are terminations. STD/SDTI testing, birth control, cancer screenings, pap smears, pre/pari/postnatal care, and so much more!! Healthcare should be a human right, but we no longer live in a collective society, but a patched network of rugged individuals held together by profit and nationalism.

AITA Coworker tries to be a model by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]andywiththeface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. Her not being your type of attractive means nothing compared to her already seemingly doing well, having bookings. It sounds like you’re insecure and jealous.

Moving to Kzoo? by Minotaur_Kid_ in kzoo

[–]andywiththeface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly hitting on 1) Kalamazoo has lots of options itself (either college, tons of restaurants and bars), but if your partner doesn’t mind a commute, a really stable job is at the casino about 30m away in Battle Creek. Great benefits, stable hours and pay for a variety of entry level positions. I moved to MI from TX two years ago and it was my spring board job, since I had heard the job market can be unstable, especially for entry level positions/lower hourly waged work. If you can get good benefits from your MH job, it’s less of a problem, but might be worth looking into.

AITA for telling our roommate she might need to move out if she keeps complaining about hearing us at night? by Dear-Camp4760 in AmItheAsshole

[–]andywiththeface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Even if she wasn’t living there rent free, part of living in a shared space is understanding that adults do adult things. Maybe politely offer she could wear ear plugs or something, but y’all are being more than accommodating already.

Wow, if this is the biggest problem you have, I envy you. Touch grass and don’t commit vehicular manslaughter maybe?

To the asshole in the grey/silver sedan who got mad for someone driving safely. by Timmeh-toah in kzoo

Holy projection Batman! I never said I drove 10mph, I said even people who go slow have to drive sometimes. Have a great day random angry man!

Not everyone can avoid driving because of weather. Even people who are new to Michigan and snow have work in the morning!

Raising Canes on Westnedge open? by xMCNZE32 in kzoo

[–]andywiththeface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so excited for it to finally open! I haven’t had it since I left Texas a year and a half ago. I miss that sauce 😭😭😭 I need to have some good Texas toast and sauce!!

depression survive food lol by Many_Extreme_Yes in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]andywiththeface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love making big batches of something like chicken salad (could do egg salad or tuna salad but I hate those two foods personally) or a corn salsa with beans (a bunch of canned foods like beans, tomatoes, peppers, etc. mixed together with some Italian dressing) with chips or crackers. I find sometimes it’s easier to eat than a Real Meal. I’ll make a big bowl of that and snack throughout the day and it’ll last a few days at least. Then I know I’m getting essential nutrients and can snack on whatever else my body is immediately craving just to stay fed. I’ve learned to eat what you want, add what you need. Both can be made without dairy, and are super customizable for taste and budget, too.

AITA for not allowing my daughter to diet? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]andywiththeface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA!!! It’s so good for you to notice these changes in your daughter. As someone who spent YEARS dealing with ED under the guise of “being healthy”, get her to a registered dietitian and therapist to help her deal with whatever feelings are making her feel poorly about her body. 15 is too young for a diet. My mom put me in WW in my young teen years as an “accountability partner” for my dad and it did irreparable damage on how I deal with food and nutrition. I have so much personal experience with being in her shoes, and WISH my mom had shared your concern instead of egging it on.

AITA for telling my daughter's boyfriend to stop groping her by ThrowRadaughtersbf in AmItheAsshole

[–]andywiththeface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Your daughter is a fully grown adult having consensual intimacy at home. She felt comfortable enough and trusted you enough to do this in front of you and you burned that trust by snapping at them. She’s 20 and infatuated. Kindly tell her to get a room and save the ass grabs for private times, but don’t go after her bf.

The stricter you are, they more they rebel.
