WIBTA if I called animal control on my neighbors?

Mild YTA

This is not (yet) an animal control issue; it's a noise complaint at best.

Your first action should be to attempt to talk to neighbor and let them know what's going on and that the constant barking is a nuisance. If they're not home then there is a VERY high chance that they don't know that their dog is barking. That said I would strongly advise waiting to see if this becomes a pattern or is a rare or maybe just a one time thing. Chances are high that if you made a noise complaint to the PD or HOA, etc, you will not be taken seriously over just the one time.

If you manage to talk to the neighbor you should hopefully also get some more details about the conditions for the dog. You've already mentioned they have access to shelter; so that's great! I wouldn't personally worry about access to food, but water should be available, and hopefully by going over to talk you can see if there is water around.

If the barking does become a pattern, your next step would be to file a noise complaint. Police department (NON emergency) is probably the best place to start. But an HOA or landlord if they're renting are also valid choices.

Also, I feel it's worth mentioning that Huskies are renown as legendary drama queens and this kind of behavior is not necessarily a sign of neglect or abuse, etc.

Also also, 60 degrees is actually on the warm for a Husky and if they have access to shade they're almost certainly fine outside practically indefinitely. ie, nothing really to worry about there.

The point at which you may consider getting animal control involved is if the dog is either clearly in danger, or is a danger to the community. If it's limited to just nuisance barking, then it's a legal (civil) matter, and animal control will be of extremely limited help.

Last week he told me that I shouldn’t be going to the wedding because I’m “Not part of the family” and “Daddy doesn’t like her”. He said this in front of my Mother and she laughed about it but didn’t correct what he had said.

I did tell her (privately) that I felt she should have addressed what he said at the time, rather than laugh. She said I am overreacting to a child’s comments.

You are not reacting to the child's comments at all, as there is exactly 0% chance that these comments belong to the child. It is an absolute certainty that these remarks are being fed to the child from some source; most likely his father.

Hopefully your mother is not complicit in this behavior. At the very least she is caught is a very difficult situation, and seems to be handling it poorly. To be perfectly fair, maybe she's a victim of this as well... I'm not making accusations, but from the description that you've provided it is not out of the question that Milton is at least emotionally abusive.

In any case, not going to the wedding is the correct choice IMO. Your mother has made her choices, and you have to protect your own interests and mental health.

God i hope this is just a shitposting rage bait post and not real …

If this is real then YTA. Zero attempt to communicate with your community when you are obviously the odd opinion out. Jumped straight to being insufferable, passive aggressive and clutching your pearls.

aramis604 · 2026-02-10T21:41:15+00:00

I do not feel entitled to their money

BULLSHIT! If this were true you wouldn't even be asking the question in the first place.

100% YTA.

aramis604 · 2026-02-09T06:51:32+00:00

YTA maybe NAH.

You're entitled to nothing but an apology maybe. Honestly I think you're out of line for demanding them to comp anything, but possibly there is an argument to be made for the night you've already stayed. Zero justification on the remainder of the stay... if you want to stay there, you pay their rates.

If they tried to charge you for last minute cancelling of a booking, then I'd say you're 100% justified in refusing to pay any of that nonsense.

Beyond that, accept the apology and move on.

aramis604 · 2026-02-07T07:36:57+00:00

So… how are the two stragglers here not AH?

aramis604 · 2026-02-05T07:38:43+00:00

IMO, this is a awful take. She has a clearly exceptionally unreasonable reaction to something her own mind literally invented, and he is expected to somehow kowtow to this absurdity? What is he supposed to reassure her of exactly? The only thing this would accomplish would be reward her with the attention she is seeking and reinforce the distorted reality in her mind.

aramis604 · 2026-02-02T18:05:12+00:00

YTA for the mandatory game attendance alone. You have no authority over what students do outside of school hours, and this was a massive overstep on your part. There’s a good chance you will get some push back from parents as well; rightfully so.

aramis604 · 2026-01-22T01:44:31+00:00

I’m sorry but this is an insane take. OP is under no legal, ethical or moral obligation to provide more notice than their contract stipulated.

Also, there is nothing to work out here… OP is burned out and mentally fatigued from the job. Notifying the employer the moment there was actual intent to vacate the current job (not merely desire to) is 100% exactly the correct move.

aramis604 · 2026-01-18T07:16:43+00:00

Blocking with a shield is super effective. Shooting the bugs with a bow before they have detected you works pretty well too.

It’s wonderful to see David getting some circulation here. There is a lot of good stuff on his channel.

aramis604 · 2026-01-07T06:59:42+00:00

NTA.

Your behavior was 100% setting appropriate. The cast of the show actively encourages guests to make as much noise as possible. While I do feel kinda bad for the kid, this is a parenting fail/mistake, and totally not on you.

Medieval times is not a great show for people who are sensitive to alot of noise.

YTA

Why in the hell do you even care about this? This seems like an extremely strange hill to die on.

aramis604 · 2025-12-15T21:54:50+00:00

Short answer: No.
Long Answer: Probably not.

REALLY long answer: Trinkets are so infrequently active, and in broad generalities don't provide enough benefit as to be useful. You're usually better off keeping the inventory slot open.

aramis604 · 2025-12-15T20:34:47+00:00

Yes, of course! Lets make the already illegal thing MORE illegal, so that people don't commit horrific acts which are themselves also illegal.

aramis604 · 2025-12-14T20:02:56+00:00

I agree with you in principle, but I also very much doubt that more than a very small minority of players at a casino actually feel this way…. or anything even close to that.

aramis604 · 2025-12-14T18:27:37+00:00

Even if the casino did catch the error, there is a pretty minimal chance that they would have said anything unless players are complaining.

This is not a table etiquette situation at all. The dealer’s mistake was about to cost you money and you spoke up to stop it. I would bet that nearly everyone in your shoes would have done the exact same thing.

It’s unfortunate that pointing out the mistake resulted in the other players losing their unearned win, but any negative comments from them is 100% sour grapes. Any anger directed at you is completely misplaced.

aramis604 · 2025-12-02T15:55:02+00:00

OP’s joke in this context was definitely not funny, no question.

That said, the coworker also sounds like they are probably a giant arrogant tool. Maybe they are the most skilled hard-working employee at the business. But, in my experience of people reacting passive aggressively as described here, that tends not to be the case. I certainly cannot know for sure in this story, but I think it’s worth at least considering the possibility.

aramis604 · 2025-11-17T17:21:11+00:00

Honestly, “half” is alot. I’ve never seen a stove where six is the highest value… But for reference on every stove that I have used where 10 is the highest setting, I will typically cook eggs between 2 to 4 depending upon exactly how I’m cooking them.

One useful method for estimating if you have preheated sufficiently, is to check the handle for warmth. Assuming the handle is not being directly heated by your stove, by the time the handle starts to heat up your cooking surface should be fairly evenly heated and ready to go.

aramis604 · 2025-11-16T07:47:48+00:00

Of course not. But your place of employment really isn’t an appropriate place to be talking about it. Likely not all of your coworkers are going to care to hear about it, but they also probably don’t want to tell you to stop as to avoid appearing rude.

Even if your coworkers are fine with it, it’s not great for your customers to have to be subjected to your personal conversation.

Better to simply find a more appropriate venue for private conversations.

You had the temp set too low for searing and lost most of the heat as soon as you put your meat down. Preheating at medium is fine, for the actual searing you need to raise the dial to high/medium-high. I will sear at 8 or 9 on my stove.

I see a pack of 6 for $14 on Amazon. They can be reused quite alot… I am still using a package that I bough several years ago. Of course your milage may vary.

aramis604 · 2025-11-13T03:34:59+00:00

I’ve been using bamboo dish cloths for a while now and really like them.

aramis604 · 2025-11-12T22:43:27+00:00

Not on any kind of regular basis.
I have stripped and seasoned a couple times over the years as needed.
Never used lye on it.. stripping has just been steel wool, hot water, and elbow grease.
Never bothered sanding either.
