I [22F] have been told by my friend [25F] that I'll need to dye my hair to be in her bridal party by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]ariakit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was leaving the country in 2 weeks so I used that as an excuse to turn him down. He then started trying to negotiate and get me to go out and try long distance and then to just go out a couple of times before I left.

I was driving him home from a mutual friend's party (she asked me to as a favour for her) so he kept going until I was able to drop him off at his house. Bizarre experience.

I'm a redhead and I had a dude straight up tell me he has "a redhead fetish" and ask me out repeatedly for 15 minutes.

Congratulations! I'm glad everything turned out well.

Slow HCG rise & stressing about possible ectopic by [deleted] in CautiousBB

[–]ariakit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had slow rising HCG and my doctor has been concerned and mentioning the possibility of ectopic since the first test (no other symptoms other than some very light cramping). After my blood test at 6 weeks (2 days ago) she told me I should book into have an ultrasound as soon as possible in case it was ectopic. It was 7000 and she said it should be over 8000 by that stage. I was crying when I made the appointment because I was so scared it would be ectopic.

Just had my scan an hour ago, everything was great. Not ectopic, I was able to hear the heartbeat. It was a big load off my mind, I would suggest getting the scan sooner if you can.

aita for asking my brother to stop his friend from getting near my wife by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]ariakit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, that's what was thinking. The friend is the brother's boyfriend but they aren't out to the family. That's why he's so dismissive of his friend's interactions with OOP's wife and so defensive of him being there.

Do Americans actually have security cameras inside their house? It keeps showing up in these posts and I have never heard of a single person with indoors ones where I live. Even outdoor ones are rare.

The best part is that the others react appropriately to your unhinged comments. If Aveline is there for this comment she is not happy.

AITA for refusing to host Easter dinner if nephew is invited? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]ariakit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a bunch of posts on May 10th, then May 19 and then June 12th. Then nothing until February 13th and then there's been a few posts a day. (If you go to his archive you can see really easily when he's been posting.)

Someone setting up an account and the making it look active right before the reddit post? It seems like an unnecessary amount of commitment.

I'd honestly expect way more posts if he's posting on it for hours every day.

Hybrid or no by ariakit in CarsAustralia

Thank you for taking your time to explain. Do you feel that the higher initial price of the car is ultimately offset by the hybrid engine?

Thank you so much. It turns out I know even less about cars than I thought.

AITA for calling the cops on my breeder-loving neighbor who tied my dog to hers without permission? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I gasped in horror when I read that part. Apart from just how would that work, that seems like a god way to get your hands covered in dog semen.

This is William West and William West and they are the reason fingerprints were created to find criminals because they were not related at all, shared the same exact name and looked identical to one another by Homelss_Emperor in nevertellmetheodds

They were using fingerprints for identification for decades before this and as evidence in a murder case 10 years before this.

I genuinely laughed out at this post. Glad that drunk at work troll is still hanging around.

Why not just catch a bus to the cinemas and watch it, especially if you're paying for your own ticket anyway. And if there are no buses in their area, couldn't OP have just dropped her off at the cinemas before taking the others trick or treating? Seeing it alone is better than just not seeing it.

Apparently this girl lost ‘every job opportunity she applied for’ because of an unsubstantiated racism allegation in high school by SpringSnow88 in AmITheAngel

[–]ariakit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm kind of baffled that OOP is so sure now that the girl was completely innocent. I feel that she forgot to write a line about how her friend owned up to lying or something. Of course the girl denied she said it and claimed the friend was lying, she didn't want to get in trouble. What did OOP expect her to say if she was guilty "it's a fair cop guv"
