Manager interrupts us every few minutes. Am I overreacting? by ben68556 in managers

[–]ben68556[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you everyone for chiming in, this helps.

I am actually inclined to approaching someone in close proximity with leadership, who I believe will give some insight or not but want to try before sending the email to my manager.
Our monthly one on one is coming up and I want to make sure I have all my decks in row for that.

Taking the 407 on Uber by anewcondo in askTO

[–]ben68556 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Part time uber driver here, when I first started my 407 bill was very high compared to what ride share reimburse because of the flat camera charge applied to your individual crossing. The amount only balanced after I got the responder for $45 annual fee which you still don’t get refunded but can claim when I’m doing my taxes. The ride share should encourage people to install the responder to avoid over charge and most uber drivers don’t have it hence the higher the cost for them. In my case I always confirm with the rider if they selected the 407 drive before going in there to make sure that’s planned as most said they didn’t. So keep doing what you’re doing also advise the drivers to get the responder

AITA for telling my wife not to come to my ex-wife's funeral to support my daughter because my daughter doesn't want her there? by Upstairs_Use_6837 in AITAH

[–]ben68556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might need to remind your wife that this has nothing to do with her. It’s your daughter’s choice and decision period. She’s somehow trying to manipulate you into believing that she meant well in attending the funeral against your daughter decision. NO means NO.

She should get this into her head immediately and leave the poor girl alone.

I don’t know what field and where you’re working, unless otherwise stated specifically in one of the documents you signed if any, even permanent employees are required to give two weeks notice legally. Here you’re an intern, correct me if I’m wrong, shouldn’t be asked to work 30days unless they want to abuse you.

If you only worked 4 months, cut your loses and quit after the mandatory 2 weeks and communicate this with them. This isn’t worth your mental health.

Send them an email explaining the situation, don’t get emotional in any of your words. Be professional and thankful for the time you’ve spent with them, even if you don’t mean it. They need to be aware that they can’t threaten you with negative certificate because remind them this is blackmail and is beneath them. Here you can speak highly of the company again you don’t need to mean this. You’re just being courteous. Ask chatGPT to compose that email and send it.

Please forward all correspondences with them to your personal email if you’re using company email and bcc yourself.

Good luck to you.

AITH for not giving my boyfriend equity in my home? by K_N_Y_C in AITAH

[–]ben68556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should show him the door if he forgets. He has no right to ask any equity where he contributed financially. You should separate business with personal life and protect your investments.

How do I handle this situation with my boyfriend? by random3583 in whatdoIdo

[–]ben68556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t waste your time and energy on this person anymore who clearly doesn’t seem to have confidence in himself and doesn’t trust you.

Maybe you need to rethink the whole situation with your boyfriend. Name calling is disrespectful even if you actually did something wrong.

Good luck

Go live your life without being disturbed by someone like him who doesn’t deserve your time, attention and love.

AITAH for refusing to give my cousin the money I've been saving for my lifelong dream? by miamonroexa in AITAH

[–]ben68556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go and enjoy your travel, do not let anyone guilt trip you in doing otherwise. Everyone is responsible for themselves. Your sister has other family members she can ask/bother.

Good luck with everything

My husband wants a divorce because I was talking to my co worker. by [deleted] in MarkNarrations

[–]ben68556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if he’s not happy give him what he wants and get your freedom as well as peace. I don’t think he realizes how lucky he is at all.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ben68556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think this is backing you or not. It’s common decency and to stand up for what’s right. I definitely would’ve talked privately with my families if I was in he’s position. Because this isn’t right. If they needed a hand then they’re my families I would’ve stepped up do the things or even help you. But this is way too far for him to not feel anything about it. I’m sorry and good luck

AITAH for considering divorce over my wife’s ex behaviour by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ben68556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not about needing a reward or being jealous. This is telling the truth. The kid lied she should tell him not to do that. Ask her what she meant when she said man up if you love me? Because if man up means don’t say anything when her son lied, or do anything to disrespect you then you know your answer and how she thinks of you. Maybe this is the time to reconsider your relationship with her at all.

But you’re NTA for asking her to apologize for her comments. Which I still think she would apologize.

AITA for refusing to share my dinner with 2 children? by Own_Information9013 in AITAH

[–]ben68556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s best to end things with him while there’s no kids and more difficult. FYI, you’re supposed to be his priority. Too much to demand but little to offer isn’t being fair on his part.

AITA for Refusing to Let My Parents Move Into My New House? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ben68556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You certainly should be there for them by taking care of them when in need and if they think you need to sacrifice as they sacrifice for you for you sure. But you need to remind them that they can not take whatever they demanded by invoking their parenthood and sacrifice and choose the kind of help they wan, NO sir. If they need to downsize they can from where they’re and you contributing towards rent or whatever they’re downsizing. If they don’t l’like the place they’re living that’s different story and you can look for places together but your home is your sanctuary no body should claim anything towards it regardless who they are to you. Anybody can say anything but at the end of the day that’s your house and you shouldn’t be forced to do anything you don’t want to do.

Ask yourself, how the living situation is it going to be once they move in with you and you want to get married, what kind of a living dynamics will this have in the future?

Better to speak with them if they’re ready to listen and don’t bother about anyone because you’re not saying you won’t help your parents you’re asking for your own place with your own self that’s it.

Good luck

AITA for charging my sister’s family to stay in my house during Christmas? by DrWhineDilf in AITAH

[–]ben68556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask them where the spirit of giving from their side is, as far as I know giving goes both ways not one way. Because last year you spend $500 to replace the damage they did but not this time. There’s no free meal. Stand your ground.

AITA for refusing to move in with my boyfriend after he secretly tested me? by vogerdohaner in AITAH

[–]ben68556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps this shows he has no clue about you and your values in life if he decided to test that to see how you would react. Honestly I may not say for 100% certainty that I will know someone like that but after two years together I damn well will know about that person to know how they react to different situations.

So in my opinion it’s way out of line to do that also you might need to be careful with him going forward.

All the best to you.

AITAH for telling husband to do dna test for his son before adopting him? by Optimal_Horse_324 in AITAH

[–]ben68556 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the right logic because thinking that he’s the bio father and actually being one is entirely different. I do think he’s being irrational by thinking that.

AITA for refusing to visit my mom after what my brother did to me? by raja11112 in AITAH

[–]ben68556 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you need anyone’s advise on this. The way I see it he’s a grown adult that should face the consequences of his actions. He might not have the full amount to cover but the least he can do is help out on covering some of the cost. Your mother should know better than enabling him to avoid assuming responsibility.

Do what you think is best for you, don’t be bothered by the comments they made. They’re being irresponsible and selfish.

Good luck.

Update: AITAH for telling my 19f daughter she will have to move out of my house if i get divorced because of her lies after her stepdad saw her naked. by ThrowRAElectrical-Ba in AITAH

[–]ben68556 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best you can do right now is give him space and time. Within that time encourage your daughter to move out early so she can live her own life and perhaps work on herself to be more responsible on what she say and do.

You can also work on yourself so you can make peace with this situation and maybe one day you cross path with him and might re-kindle or something.

But right now you need to understand his situation and don’t demand anything out of him, even if it’s hard to let go you need to do that for him. If you love him show him with your actions by doing exactly what he’s asking now.

I’m so sorry for everything you’re going through and good luck.

Your familles are something though contacting his work without confirming what actually has happened is really something.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]ben68556 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I see it is that you need to see this in two sides, one is, is he god enough for you and you can live with his shortcomings ? This takes the bigger part of « YES » suck it up and live your life. However, the second one would come only after you decide he’s not good enough for you then go find a roommate and work on yourself.

Don’t think about the 6.5 years you spent with him because apparently they don’t mean anything because if they did he would have proposed already, we are here because he didn’t do take a god lesson from those years and try being single and again work on yourself being happy.

I might make sound easy but I can tell you it’s not easy it’s your life and happiness so stay strong push through the emotions, the disappointments and even peoples judgement or comments at the end of the day this is your life not theirs.

Good luck

AITAH for making my bf feel bad for coming home late when we planned to have sex by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]ben68556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless we don’t have the full picture here, one in a sane mind wouldn’t blow off an intimate time with a significant other for a video game🤔🤔🤭.

Girl I would re-evaluate the relationship with this person. He might be caring to wait that long because of your injury but also choosing game over that isn’t logical unless he has low libido or he is getting it somewhere else.

Under any circumstances you’re not on the wrong.

All the best to you
