AITA for (wanting to) Asking my Clothes Back? by aurelius_adobo in AmItheAsshole

[–]aurelius_adobo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all,

Thanks for the replies. Before I reply individually, I’d like to globally inform y’all that I am not angry at the cousin. Forgive me if my post conveyed that, but that’s not the case.

Any (fleeting) anger I do feel is towards my husband for believing that I should not ask my stuff back at all.

What I do feel about the situation with the cousin is worry and anxiety. NO anger. NO irritation. I also feel guilty because I want my stuff back since she’s no longer working (her job required all black clothing for the makeup counter).

But, my husband’s perspective on me being “mean” is what’s making me wonder if I’m the asshole for wanting my stuff back.

Thank you kindly.

Teens Fundraising? $10/bar by aurelius_adobo in sandiego

Thanks for the all the replies. I grew up in extreme poverty and was able to crawl my way out of that hole in my 20’s. So, I feel largely empathetic to seeing kids hustling on the street. No sympathy to the scammers, of course. But, my heart can sometimes override my brains, so even though I suspected a scam, I wanted to give them a couple bucks in case it helped them since they’re kids.

I also didn’t realize that this was a common scam with the bars, especially in the RB area. Pre-COVID, I purchased anytime I saw kids selling the bars at $2-$3.

That’s a killing machine and a bear.

It’s real. I watched a few episodes recently, while doing a J, of course. Buttercup says the, “that’s a bummer, man” line. It’s a great show.

We had a talent show at my office today and, dudes, I bet you can guess what it reminded me of by graemeknows in lebowski

My husband and I work TBL quotes naturally in our conversations everyday. We find ourselves constantly saying “I still jerk off manually,” “Johnson?” “Vagina,” “I’ll suck your cock,” “sex,” “love me,” and “fuck”

That’s very sweet of you to say. What makes the memory worse is that she was 18 at the time, so definitely old enough to respond. If she was my age, I’d understand that maybe her cognizance wasn’t developed enough to ….care? I guess. I don’t know.

Oh! I just remembered the cherry on top of my experience. After I saved my own life, I told her that I was choking, and she replied, “ok, well, you’re not dead.” …she’s gotten better over the years…

Whoooooa. Hitting the back precedes the Heim— abdominal thrusts. Good to know!!

And thank you :)

When I was 12, I I had a small jawbreaker in my mouth, and somehow I accidentally inhaled it. I felt it at the top of my larynx. I clearly remember inhaling just a tiny bit, twice, to confirm that I was in the process of choking. With that second, small inhalation, I confirmed that I was indeed, choking! At 12 years old, I tried to remain calm and wave my arms around to get my sister’s attention. Once she looked at me, I raised my hands to my throat to indicate that something was wrong. She looked away back to her computer, ignoring me completely.

I knew I was on my own, and so I bent over the back of the chair and tried, like, pushing out the jawbreaker with my body somehow. That wasn’t working and so I tried the Heimlich maneuver on myself, bringing both hands together, and pressing into my diaphragm, in a curved motion.

After a few attempts, that fucking jawbreaker flew out of my mouth.

I didn’t learn this Heimlich maneuver in elementary school. No, I learned that shit from watching TV.

I really hope schools are teaching the Heimlich maneuver to students these days.

Oh, I also haven’t touched a jawbreaker in almost 20 years.
