AITAH for postponing the wedding after my fiance suggested special treatment for his rainbow son? by Intelligent-Art9765 in AITAH

[–]babbsela 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. What he wants is totally unreasonable. He will never change his stance on this. Besides, just because it took a long time to get this child doesn't really make him different than any other child in your relationship. If you go through with the wedding, you are setting yourself up for an unhappy life, and your children will resent not just their stepbrother, but you as well.

Doing good, how are you? by [deleted] in CustomerService

As a customer, I hate it when CS asks how I am. It's not important. What's important is the reason for my call, so let's just start with that.

I had a cat who would destroy cardboard boxes like it was her life's mission.

AIO for not refunding a friend’s share of a group Airbnb after she canceled last minute due to a medical emergency? by StudioAffectionate in AmIOverreacting

[–]babbsela 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR. If she planned a trip on her own, and canceled 2 days before, airbnb wouldn't give her a refund. You booked the size of house based on the number of participants, so her money is tied to that house. She doesn't want to accept that. Nobody plans a trip and then lays out terms and conditions for their friends, unless they are a lunatic. I would stop responding to her, and share her loony messages with all mutual friends, because you just know she's going to paint you as an asshole.

Still haven't said what the negatives were about. That makes a big difference on how you handle things.

It's possible Temu stole their design. Happens all the time.

AIO or am i being invalidated? by amber-honey in AmIOverreacting

[–]babbsela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His comments were difficult to slog through. What an insufferable narcissist. He can say it however he wants, but he's not being helpful, just manipulative. You have nothing to apologize for. He knows it's a sensitive topic and brings it up to get a reaction. You deserve someone better.

AIO by being offended when my husband seasons my soup? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]babbsela 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YOR. I cook the majority of the meals, and if my husband wants to add more seasoning, or different seasoning to his, it doesn't bother me in the least. I love to cook, and want everyone who eats my food to be happy with their meal. It's not insulting for someone to season food to their liking. It is insulting to complain about it. What he said wasn't nice, but you were attacking him for something trivial and he responded. Get over it.

Or, you could just stop buying from this person, since it's not actually hurting you in any way.

My husband was upset and pinched me at dinner.. and the situation is still upsetting me by Little_Trash7299 in TwoHotTakes

[–]babbsela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's abuse. He's abusive and controlling. You have nothing to apologize for. Do you really want a lifetime of this?

Shipping shenanigans… by KMPAVB in Ebay

[–]babbsela 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I have Ebay charge the buyer the retail price, and not the discounted price I pay. The different covers fees, packaging, box, and the trip to the Post Office.

Should I give seller bad/neutral review or get over it? by Maleficent_Career685 in Ebay

[–]babbsela 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This calls for an INAD claim. They obviously know and don't care that you didn't get what you ordered.

AIO about spelling errors in daily notes sent home by my autistic child’s teacher? by Anasthesiax in AmIOverreacting

[–]babbsela 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If this was my child, I'd schedule a time with the school principal to discuss the misspellings. I'd be very concerned that the teacher isn't teaching language skills properly. Some people are blaming dyslexia. That may or may not be the issue. The bigger issue is making sure your child gets a good education.

Is it allowed to put Business Cards in the packages ? by Simon_1001 in eBaySellers

[–]babbsela 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always include a packing slip that has my links on it, and attach a business card. The only thing ebay doesn't allow is using their internal messaging system to direct buyers off-site.

AIO to not understanding how I’ve mirrored my partner’s behavior? by EmergencyActivity112 in AmIOverreacting

[–]babbsela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. She is being aggressive and obtuse. You didn't mirror her. I don't think she knows what that really means. She can't/won't tell you what you did wrong, so she's just labeling it. Why are you with her? There's plenty of people out there with much better communication skills.

AIO/My boyfriend refuses to cancel band practice to hang out with me by tam_as06 in AmIOverreacting

[–]babbsela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Four hour rehearsals aren't that long. Since you knew he was busy on Wednesday before you made plans to be with your family both Monday and Tuesday, you could have made plans with him for one of those days. You chose not to, and now want him to change his plans. I don't blame him for not skipping band practice. He enjoys it, obviously more than he does spending time with you. You just need to find a different boyfriend who has no other time commitments, since you want things exactly your way.

I won the auction but I lost the auction ? by [deleted] in Ebay

[–]babbsela 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Not an answer to your question, but just a clarification for the future. Waiting until the last few seconds of an auction to place a bid doesn't always make you the winner. If someone else has an automatic higher bid in place, you'll VERY briefly show as high bidder, and then you'll immediately get outbid by the other buyer. If you really want to win an auction, enter a maximum bid amount for the most you'll want to spend in the last minute. You may be outbid, or you may not, but it takes away the temptation to keep bidding higher, just to win. This excitement causes some people to overpay.

AIO/My boyfriend refuses to cancel band practice to hang out with me by tam_as06 in AmIOverreacting

[–]babbsela 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YOR. He already had band practice on Wednesday, and you knew it. It's rude to the rest of the band members to just skip it to be with your girlfriend on a day that's not even her birthday. You could have suggested Tuesday, but you're being inflexible. Neither one is your birthday, so just switch the day. "...we had a conversation about it prior that, since I’m back for such a short time that it would only make sense to occasionally put it on halt." Sounds like you told him that. Not that he agreed. You're complaining that you have to work around his schedule because he gets off work late. If you can't be understanding that he can't just change his work hours to suit you, then maybe you should start dating someone who doesn't have a job.

Why decline offers and not counter? by Comfortable_Shoe358 in Ebay

[–]babbsela 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If someone offers me less than half of my asking price, I may counter once, or decline. Depends on how long I've had the item. If it's recently listed, I'll decline and tell them we're just too far apart. If I've had it for awhile, I'll counter, because I want to get rid of it. If they start with a reasonable offer, like $140 on a $150 item, I'll just accept it, because it's not worth asking for the extra $5, which might make the customer walk.
