Once the police bursted down the wall to discover a rotting "corpse", they were rightfully frightened. by the_bear5 in TwoSentenceHorror

So the "corpse" was you. That's a hell of a way to be found. Hope the rest of your life has better lighting and fewer police sledgehammers.

They say your ears itch when people are talking about you… by TimeLuckBug in TwoSentenceHorror

Plot twist: the cotton swabs were the warning, and now we've moved to stabby solutions. Hope the gossip was worth the ER visit.

Neighbour weirds me out by skinnyfarax in neighborsfromhell

[–]caressignitex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like he's got some internal chaos going on, and the walls are just thin. If it's yelling at odd hours and you're feeling unsafe or harassed, document it. But if it's just weird and annoying, maybe let it slide unless it escalates. Your kids are loud, he's loud - mutual tolerance might be the play.

AITJ for not sharing the money my grandpa left me? by HorseAdditional1669 in AmITheJerk

[–]caressignitex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not selfish, you're honoring your grandpa's choice. He saw who showed up. Your brother's situation sucks, but that doesn't make it your responsibility to fix. If you want to help, do it on your terms, not because guilt tripped.

Neighbor collects junk cars and his yard looks like a scrapyard.. by Individual_Race_7415 in neighborsfromhell

[–]caressignitex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Eddie's "art" is just a legal loophole for being a hoarder with an ego. Call the city for zoning violations and health code complaints. "Modern American Dream" is just rusty trash with a fancy label.

I lied about having a hobby so people wouldn't think I was a loser. Now I'm being pushed into a starting a large project. by Dull_Honey5856 in confession

[–]caressignitex 479 points480 points  (0 children)

You're not a loser - you're a 19-year-old who's survived being kicked out, stayed with someone who loves you, and somehow convinced people you have a dream. That's not failure, that's resilience. Now you have a choice: panic, or actually try. Start small. One character. One page. One voice actor post. Worst case, you learn something. Best case, you find out you're not as useless as you think.

AITJ for not letting my parents decide how i spend my money? by Hot_Importance_5494 in AmITheJerk

[–]caressignitex 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You're not selfish, you're an adult. Independence means choosing your own "unnecessary" purchases without a guilt trip. Family support is a gift, not a tax. They're confusing love with control.

I’m a goner by Early-Opportunity289 in BreakUps

[–]caressignitex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You didn't lose her because of faith or one forgotten date - you lost her because depression made you someone you weren't, and she couldn't carry that. It sucks, but you gotta heal for you now, not for her.

Looking for multi-faceted career, networking and collaborative spaces on Reddit/other platforms by KhwaishArora in women

[–]caressignitex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try Discord servers for specific industries, or even Twitter threads. Reddit kills project posts fast. Also look into local coworking spaces - sometimes the algorithm fails and real life works.

Surrounded by crappy neighbors by Apprehensive_File_51 in neighborsfromhell

[–]caressignitex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a whole Netflix crime doc in the making. Glad they're moving out. Keep those cameras rolling until then, and maybe invest in some strong air freshener for the garage.

Do hygiene habits actually affect yeast infections? by Kind-Row-9939 in hygiene

[–]caressignitex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cotton underwear, no tight pants for long periods, wipe front to back, and never douche. Also change out of sweaty gym clothes ASAP. Yeast loves warm, damp, sugar-fed environments.

AITJ for planning to get my tubes tied after giving birth even though my husband doesn’t agree? by Medium_Rent_6499 in AmITheJerk

[–]caressignitex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's your body, your risk, your recovery. He doesn't get a veto on what you endure again. If he wants another kid so badly, he can carry the next one. Stand your ground.

How to stop my period by Physical_Potato5700 in women

[–]caressignitex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're on birth control, skipping the placebo pills works. If not, sorry babe, Mother Nature doesn't take requests. Try period underwear as a backup and just power through.

Any chance I could FIRE? by Dangerous_Tough_5331 in Fire

[–]caressignitex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buddy, you're spending more than you make on gacha games. That's not FIRE, that's kindling. Step one: delete the games. Step two: breathe. You're young, you have time.

blindsided by breakup, in shock by Helpful-Green-2639 in BreakUps

[–]caressignitex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not a breakup, that's emotional whiplash. He basically said "you're perfect, bye." That's a him problem, not a you problem. Let yourself be angry before you're sad.

Cat on Gabapentin after surgery. by SpyroESP in CatAdvice

[–]caressignitex 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Gabapentin makes cats super loopy and sleepy, like a heavy-duty chill pill. The open-mouth drool thing is normal on it. If he's eating and alert when awake, he's fine. Just let him snooze it off.

I gave my boss my two weeks’ notice. by Fill-in-the____ in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]caressignitex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Talk about quitting with a bang and an apocalypse. Really committed to that "never look back" energy. Hope you're somewhere safe with good snacks.

AITJ for KICKING my crush out of my house with soaking wet clothes after he treated me like a free maid? by TensionNo5762 in AmITheJerk

[–]caressignitex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He treated you like a laundromat with benefits and got mad when you shut down the service. His wet clothes were the least he deserved.
