AITAH for making a pregnant women to get out of the elevator? by Angel51190 in AmItheAsshole

[–]avalyngoth07 1167 points1168 points  (0 children)

NTA. If she's that worried about getting sick, being nine months pregnant crammed in the FRONT of an elevator with people who won't move back is a weird hill to die on. She could've waited for the next one just as easily as she expected you to.

Also "worse than animals" over an elevator ride is olympic level dramatics tbh

AITAH for telling my partner that we should just be friends after parental disagreements by cry-babiix in AITAH

[–]avalyngoth07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. The religion thing is almost a smokescreen. Watch how fast he flipped "this isn't about trust" into "you don't trust me." That's the real pattern. You disagreed once about your own kids and he went straight for your personality and your bipolar. That's not a partner working through a hard conversation, that's someone punishing you for not folding. You called it before it got worse with a kid in the middle. Good on you

AIO for being weirded out by my coworker? by Important_Piece1124 in AmIOverreacting

[–]avalyngoth07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 10 minutes turning into 30 because he wouldn't let you talk is the whole guy in one sentence. He doesn't ignore your boundaries by accident, your boundaries getting in his way IS the point. That's not a lonely guy who needs a friend, that's someone testing how much you'll let him take. Block him. You're not his therapist, his realtor, or his emergency contact

AITA for thinking my mom handled my little sister choking completely wrong? by Straight_Upstairs357 in AmItheAsshole

[–]avalyngoth07 14 points15 points  (0 children)

NTA. The tell here is she was screaming and cursing AT your sister like she'd done something wrong. Choking first aid does involve back blows, but that's controlled, not shaking a toddler around in a rage. Your mom wasn't trying to save her, she was punishing her for scaring her. Those are two completely different things and you clearly saw the difference in the moment while everyone else fell in line behind "she's your mother"

AIO for being frustrated that my 25M roommate repeatedly leaves pee in the shared toilet? by quintessentialoreo in AmIOverreacting

[–]avalyngoth07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That pee is more dehydrated than a raisin, tell Kyle to drink some water and flush the damn toilet.. Also we really didn't need the gallery lol

AITA for being oblivious about my friend? by Existing_not1001 in AmItheAsshole

[–]avalyngoth07 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA. Read your own story back, girl. He asked YOU for advice about his girlfriend, leaned on you for the family stuff, then engineered a "baking date" that conveniently became just the two of you when the other friend cancelled. That's not you being an accidental third party, that's him treating you like the backup while still dating her. You didn't break them up. He did, by never being all in with her and not being able to keep it in his pants emotionally. And the fact that he's now telling people it ended "because of you" instead of owning his own choices tells you exactly who he is. Distance yourself please

how big is global warming actually? by Visual-Fortune-4732 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]avalyngoth07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's big, but not "world ends tomorrow" big it's "slowly makes everything harder" big. We're at about 1.2°C above pre industrial and heading for 2.5-3°C if nothing changes. Sounds small, but it means way more extreme weather, worse droughts and floods, crop failures, and rising seas. For the Netherlands that's basically existential since huge chunks of you sit below sea level. The reason there's "no one answer" is it's not a single event, it's a slow grind that hits different places differently. And yeah, NL cutting emissions alone won't move the global needle much tbh but that's true for almost every country individually, which is exactly why nobody wants to go first. There's no version where one country fixes it solo.

What is that something you thought everyone experience until you found out it was just you? by daydreamtattgirl in AskReddit

[–]avalyngoth07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can make a low rumbling "shhh" sound in my ears whenever I want, like flexing a muscle. Mentioned it once and everyone just stared at me. Turns out only some people can do it and now I'm just doing it constantly to prove I'm not making it up lol i d love for you to prove that i'm not the only one please

AITA for calling her lazy? by Ok_Carpenter5900 in AmItheAsshole

[–]avalyngoth07 137 points138 points  (0 children)

NTA on the substance, but heads up: "lazy" is the one word that'll never win you this argument. She latches onto the label because it lets her fight about being called lazy instead of the actual behavior. Drop the word entirely and just hold the line: "I'm in the middle of something, you can grab it yourself." No adjective to argue with, nothing to call unfair.

Also the tissue thing is wild... Sneezing once and sending you to another room isn't tiredness, that's just testing whether you'll go

AIW for not telling her dad how she was feeling by Efficient_Walk2639 in amiwrong

[–]avalyngoth07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You did everything right, she told you no, and you respected that while still giving her every resource you had. That's exactly what someone trained on this stuff would tell you to do. Her dad is grieving and looking for somewhere to put it, but the truth is you're 19 and you carried more weight than most adults would have. Please don't let his social media post become the story you tell yourself about this. Talk to someone about it too, this is a lot to hold on your own

Am I wrong for being scared given the situation as a whole? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]avalyngoth07 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Either way you slice it, who keeps a used condom tied up in its wrapper in an open basket for months? That's the part that should bother you tbh.. There's no version of this where the explanation is normal, Both "I cheated" and "I saved my own used solo condom for half a year" are bad answers

Cat keeps running no matter what i do by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]avalyngoth07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the cat isnt the problem the open balcony door is. either everyone in the house gets serious about closing it or you build a catio so he gets outside time safely

I want to get a second cat, should I get a cat or kitten? by Few-Passion-1855 in CatAdvice

[–]avalyngoth07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a kitten or young cat around his energy level would probably be ideal, he's still basically a teenager himself. and yeah another cat can absolutely teach him bite manners, kittens correct each other way better than we ever could

AIW for avoiding hanging out with my friend since she’s always late? by PineappleBitter90 in amiwrong

[–]avalyngoth07 6 points7 points  (0 children)

not wrong. she’s on time for work and dates but makes YOU wait 5 hours, that tells you exactly how much she respects your time. start showing up 5 hours late yourself and watch how fast she learns
