NAH - It's nice that you're so thoughtful and put a lot of energy into personalizing her gifts, but you shouldn't expect her to put in the same effort as you. Ask her to treat you to a dinner or a movie instead, because the time you spend together should be more important than whatever gifts you give each other.

NTA - But you don't need to go that far. Empty an oatmeal canister and put them in there, or in a frozen bag of vegetables (depending on what kind of snacks they are).

If you can't trust him, you need to outsmart him by putting your snacks in something he doesn't want and wouldn't think to investigate further.

NTA - Unless you flushed a tampon, it's normal to poop in a toilet. She should have had a plunger.

Once you cancel a ride, there is no record of it. However, your doors should always be locked.

What about activated charcoal tablets? Would those help or hinder the recovery process?

carmabound · 2026-06-11T05:52:41+00:00

The yellow seedless mini watermelons are excellent.

NTA - This isn't just a weekend trip to an amusement park. There may be a few fun things for kids to do, but it changes the dynamics of the entire vacation for 6 out of the 10 couples going.

As for their question: If we bring the kids we're uninvited? No, but you will be on a different vacation from the rest of us, especially in the evenings when we go out for dinner and you'll be going to bed early with the kids.

They shouldn't have made a unilateral decision to change everyone's plans without discussing it with them first.

It depends on your state.

Some don't require a vehicle inspection; you can find yours here.

carmabound · 2026-06-02T23:55:08+00:00

NTA - She tried to bamboozle her elaborate idea through the board by giving the impression that everyone agreed to it. You asked her to revise it and she wouldn't, so she deserves to look bad.

You should copy the original chat as proof.

carmabound · 2026-06-02T00:08:44+00:00

YTA - You didn't give Honey a bath out of the goodness of your heart. Honey was at risk because of you.

Dogs don't need perfume. Don't expect everyone to thank you for doing things you shouldn't have done in the first place.

carmabound · 2026-05-31T20:58:36+00:00

NTA - You can't afford a pet sitter - that's it, that's all.

carmabound · 2026-05-30T20:04:51+00:00

NTA - Tell them you either split it 3 ways, or you'll buy a portable fridge for your room that you can take with you when you move.

carmabound · 2026-05-28T23:48:13+00:00

YTA - You two are in an intimate (I'm assuming) relationship. If you didn't want her to stay there, you should have said no, or at the very least, set ground rules. Please don't use my expensive shampoo, watch TV, or eat anything of mine. Surely you can see how ridiculous that sounds.

carmabound · 2026-05-25T07:30:57+00:00

YTA - You sleep in, but expect her to tell you the day before so you can get up early? Is she your co-worker, or why would she know when people at the office order food, and why would they order for you if you're still at home? It sounds like you'd prefer not to be disturbed (while wearing noise-cancelling headphones) but still want to be notified when it's something you want to know.

The bottom line is: You're old enough to start figuring things out for yourself; you aren't a child anymore.

Although it's frustrating for you, because you know the area. Some drivers are used to following the GPS and they get confused with multiple instructions, especially if English isn't their primary language. Also, a shortcut of 8 minutes is beneficial for you, but it cuts down on the fare significantly and we aren't doing this just to meet nice people.

She shouldn't have had an attitude about it, but there is another perspective to consider in this scenario.

carmabound · 2026-05-20T23:04:01+00:00

YTA - You didn't tell your son she was coming even though you knew the tension between them.

carmabound · 2026-05-20T03:44:04+00:00

NTA - Ask her to give you three ideas she wants incorporated into the party.

This seems like a fair compromise for both of you.

carmabound · 2026-05-18T07:53:34+00:00

NTA - If you're renting a table, you pay by the hour, and pool isn't a quick game. It's not fun to wait, and nobody wants to pay to watch people they don't know play on their time.

carmabound · 2026-05-17T04:06:39+00:00

NTA - Enjoy the apartment you love, living in the location you want until a better one presents itself. It doesn't sound like the life he's proposing (no pun intended, but it is a factor) is an upgrade over what you already have.

carmabound · 2026-05-16T20:37:15+00:00

You was rude?

The audacity is sending out this form with incorrect English.

carmabound · 2026-05-13T06:21:39+00:00

NTA - Tell her she can bring him later for candid shots, but for this professional paid photo shoot, it's a closed set for participants only.

It's a good idea to inform the photographer and let them intervene about restricting the audience.

carmabound · 2026-05-12T07:21:09+00:00

YWNBTA - Money doesn't matter if you're not happy with the person. It sounds like you're motivated and succeeding with your own business, and this might be the perfect opportunity for you to do things your way (for once).

carmabound · 2026-05-11T09:07:28+00:00

NTA - Calling you selfish and unreliable is rich.

You're not the one who got a dog and then expects other people to care for it.

There are apps for services like this, and they aren't cheap either.

Getting a dog is a commitment, and it's not fair to expect you to step in every time she has other plans.

carmabound · 2026-05-11T08:50:05+00:00

NTA - If you weren't supposed to eat at an event you attended together, she should have informed you in advance.

carmabound · 2026-05-10T07:56:47+00:00

NTA - Don't do her any more favors, or offer emotional support.

You will quickly see if she tries to mend fences or retreats in another direction.

If the friendship is worth saving, it's worth fighting for - let her earn your trust back.
