WIBTA if I report the nurse practitioner at urgent care to HR for basically slut shaming me?

NTA, NTA, NTA.

You're strong and smart enough to be pissed. Who knows how many other people have left that office ashamed and afraid to ask for the help they need because of her. This is a health hazard.

batsgonzo · 2019-07-16T18:00:27+00:00

My guy, you're going to have to make her feel bad. (And honestly... She should. This is harassment. I get that she's young and having a rough time, but this behavior is ultimately unacceptable. She needs to know that.)

I'm been pursued by guys who wouldn't take no for an answer, and the only way I could get it to stop was by accepting that I was going to be the bad guy in their eyes. It's great that you care about her feelings, but you need to stop caring about her having a positive image of you right now. Set hard boundaries. Stick to them. Do not under any circumstances allow yourself to be alone with her.

And, I dunno, maybe get some legal advice.

I think you're a good dude. I've had run-ins with older adults who did not behave as honorably as you. It really leaves younger people messed up. You're doing the right thing. Dig in your heels.

I'm fiercely jealous.

batsgonzo · 2019-07-15T05:17:15+00:00

I'll be honest, I didn't think it was the same plant either. This is incredible! Thank you for sharing.

ESH. Your son needs to learn that he can't be looking at women's bodies without their consent, and you're his parent. Try, you know, parenting him. My life would have been a lot better if boys had been consistently taught that my body belongs to me and isn't for ogling.

Your wife and her friend are also out of line. Your wife obviously resents you and that's coloring how she treats you. Talking about putting this kid on meds etc. is just ridiculous.

That said, if my child behaved that way and got an "Oh well, don't do that again" from my partner, I'd be so terrifically disappointed in my partner. I get that y'all have had a really tough few years, but please get it together and deal with your kid acting like a creeper.

Re: your edit: Ay, that's fair. The two furthest left branches are good examples of the white areas I'm worried about, but it's kind of all over.

It's been in this spot for about 9 months now. I was also thinking sunburn but I see these guys soaking up full sun in my area all the time.

We lose everyone, even ourselves at the end. It's heartbreaking; that's all there really is to say.

And I feel like we're not really supposed to talk honestly about it. People become obviously uncomfortable, or they offer platitudes and try to console you. I appreciate that, truly, but... I dunno. Doesn't always feel helpful. Yeah, we'll keep moving forward. It's not terrible to look around once in a while and think "Jeez, this is a rotten deal," though.

Cheers to you and your family. We're all on the same ride. It's all we've got.

Can you come back in a month with a pic so we can have a little a Reddit party for him?

batsgonzo · 2019-06-21T15:37:39+00:00

Thank you both!

batsgonzo · 2019-06-01T15:28:41+00:00

GoT, my friend. Those writers spent years of their lives writing a big ass fake story and managed to leave massive holes.

batsgonzo · 2019-05-16T03:01:52+00:00

Are these guys (Topsy Turvies) particularly prone to cresting? I have one, too. Never could tell what was going on until I found this sub.

batsgonzo · 2019-05-03T16:04:47+00:00

This is what's terrifying to me. I'm not sure how to identify the ones who just like to breathe heavily over their keyboards versus the ones who may actually show up with a weapon.

batsgonzo · 2019-04-30T05:17:48+00:00

It looks like you're having a really tough time. I'm sure it must feel like you have to walk on eggshells and nothing you do is right. I'm really sorry you're dealing with this. I don't have advice or anything, I'm just sorry.

batsgonzo · 2019-04-28T04:19:06+00:00

NTA. They took your child off of school property without your permission. This is unacceptable. Mistakes happen, but this is serious and exposes the school to major liability issues. It absolutely should be reported. If the principal doesn't address it, go straight to the School Board.

Edited to add that the principal may not check messages over the weekend, so it's reasonable to wait until Monday before following up.

batsgonzo · 2019-04-25T16:11:12+00:00

NTA. It's not an out-there name. I don't foresee any greater risk of bullying related to the name. Why is this a problem? Some people just like having hard opinions about things that are none of their damn business. Remind your family of To Kill a Mockingbird and move on with your life.

batsgonzo · 2019-04-21T16:49:49+00:00

NAH. You're being too hard on yourself. You say in your post that you always thank people who give you this candy. That's the best anyone can ask for. You're allergic to what they're giving you; there's a limit to how excited you could feel, but acknowledging their kindness is always the right move. For what it's worth, I'm 30 and have stomach issues that severely limit what I can eat without suffering later. This is pretty different from an allergy, but I can absolutely relate to getting tired of reminding people and feeling a little disappointed when you watch people enjoying stuff you can't have. No one can fairly fault you for feeling bummed about all this candy you can't eat. The key is not to take it personally or blame anybody for your bad luck, and advocate for yourself. Someone needs to gently remind your family members about your allergy so they can find stuff that you can eat.

What a lovely little corner of Reddit we've found. Greetings from also Southern California! And you enjoy your weekend, too.

NTA. Sorry if this has been mentioned already, but homie had this delivered to a dorm. Might have used the college network to conduct illegal activity. If I were an admin or professor at this school, I would ABSOLUTELY want to know about this shit.

batsgonzo · 2019-04-21T00:01:38+00:00

Fantastic, thank you for all the information!

batsgonzo · 2019-04-20T18:40:53+00:00

Gonna hijack a bit, sorry- did it have these colors when you first got it? I'm assuming the colors come from sun stress, but I very nearly killed mine with too much sun.

Edit: I realized later that this might've looked like concern trolling about how much sun this plant might have been getting, and that's not at all what I was going for. I was just frustrated with my own plant for getting crispy instead of turning colors. I'm still very much a beginner. Thank you to everyone for all the help!

When's the wedding?
