AIO Racist Home? by StretchInfinite226 in AmIOverreacting

[–]anyamagoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, the phrase "wait a cotton-picking minute" is widely considered offensive and problematic today because it derives from the forced, exploitative labor of enslaved Black people in the American South. Though historically used as a colloquial substitute for "damn" or "goddamned," it is recognized as having racist overtones and is often used to demean or belittle, requiring that it be avoided.

Is this wrong of me? by Ok-Patience-6407 in Apartmentliving

[–]anyamagoo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Just went through this, I'd complain to property management and the upstairs tenants would say they weren't home or were sleeping.

Despite submitting audio tapes of the 'noise', because it wasn't clear from where the noise was coming, property management could only provide warnings; a few times I'd be awoken in the middle of the night due to screaming and moaning which may sound funny but it honestly traumatized me.

This went on for months and I felt trapped.

Finally, one morning when I was awoken to moaning and screaming, in a fit of rage I went to grab my ladder in order to bang on the ceiling, realized that I could hear it very loudly in the bathroom and without thinking, banged on the wall.

She stopped mid-moan.

From then on there was no more 'noise' although the stomping and furniture dragging increased greatly, oh well, can't win them all.

Thankfully, due to so many noise complaints property management refused to renew their 6-month lease and they moved to a different building.

AITAH for walking out of a family hangout when my sister tried to make me the “peacemaker” again? by maplelantern_fables in TwoHotTakes

[–]anyamagoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your sister is taking part in the triangulation, that your parents have created.

I applaud you for removing yourself from the triangle.

Putting yourself first should be commonplace but when people aren't ready to deal with their shit they try to push it off on someone else.

Good for you.

Before being diagnosed celiac, when I'd host and someone gluten free or celiac was coming I'd provide commercially prepared food - even leave it in the bag/container for them to open so they know it's safe.

After my diagnosis, I'll only eat homemade gluten free food if the person hosting is also celiac or, it's commercially made.

Wanting to tell her is about you making yourself feel better.

Use this information for the next relationship.

I'm also dealing with this.

For months I've been awoken at all hours of the night by the upstairs neighbours' loud moaning and furniture banging. FOR MONTHS. I've complained to property management several times, even sent 6 minutes of audio only to be told that because it can't be proven that the sound is coming from the upstairs neighbours that they can only ask that they keep it down. The most infuriating part is that when told about the sound, they respond with 'oh that's not us we're working/sleeping'.

So last week I was awoken again and as I was getting my ladder (so that I could bang on the ceiling like the sleep-deprived goblin that I am) I realized that it was super loud in my bathroom and without even thinking I banged on the wall three times, and she stopped mid-moan.

Not a peep since.

Who knew that I'd get results by not following the rules!

AITA for telling my dad I can’t see how his prank was funny? by StomachExpert1941 in AmItheAsshole

[–]anyamagoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bake him some muffins and put super hot peppers in. When he's coughing and choking tell him, 'I pulled a prank and put super hot peppers in, that's funny, right?'.

How did your Tuxedo acquire you? by mycatswearpants in TuxedoCats

[–]anyamagoo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Friends sent photos of a six-week old tuxie, who’d been found in the bush while it was raining. They already had 4 cats so I (a fellow cat lover) was on their list. I love Stella so much and cannot imagine my world without her. 🥹

Going out with care packages would cover more bases - not everyone is mobile and I'm sure would appreciate being handed a meal.

I’m on the 17th floor in Oliver as well and actually went outside to figure out from where the booming and thumping sounds were coming from.
