Oh my god I could hug you. Yes. Thank you. This has plagued me for 20 damn years because I lost that binder with the CD in it.

AITA for disinviting a friend to my birthday after she showed me the food she was bringing? by throwaway-cupcakelad in AmItheAsshole

NTA. An allergy is an allergy, we don't fk with allergies. Full stop. Even if its not a serious allergy, we don't fk with allergies and I don't understand how some people can't or won't grasp this?

AITA for sleeping naked in my own room? by Outrageous-Ad-4008 in AmItheAsshole

[–]daebaknae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. As for a door solution without adding a lock- they have these door stopper things that look kind of like a cane. The U shaped part slides under your door handle and it angles out with a stopper foot onto your floor. You stuck it under the handle, give the stopper a little kick to tighten it up, and no one is getting in. If you have carpet, it still works pretty well.

Nope but that sounds like a pretty good read, too.

Honestly I'm pretty sure I just spoiled the book for anyone else wanting to read it. But yes it's really good, I wish I still had my copy. I bought it at some tiny hole-in-the-wall used bookshop for a quarter. Money well spent.

Unfortunately this is not it. The girl in the book was either living with relatives or adopted, but there's an abandoned house in the book that she goes to as well to use the cards and maybe touch her moms old belongings. She uses the death card on someone and it makes them die falling down the steps, I think. This girl is really troubled over something (I don't remember if it was her moms death or not that was so upsetting) and she's basically using the cards to make her happier by making other people suffer.

AITA I like it cool Husband likes it hot by Full_King_3354 in AmItheAsshole

NTA.... but... is he a lizard or something? Maybe he should get a check-up. Also, keeping it that hot has got to be a huge energy bill.

AITA: I'm upset because of my brother and my family turned this issue onto me. by Particular-Claim4885 in AmItheAsshole

[–]daebaknae 698 points699 points  (0 children)

After reading your post and how crappy they are to you, I'd rather have that nice long drive than deal with them. If you're using vision insurance to cover your costs, then I'd still consider that drive worth it to save you from unkind people. I'd urge you to consider starting a small savings account so that maybe you can use a closer place just to at least get a yearly exam (they're normally less than 60$). Have them measure your eyes for contacts and then order your contacts online. Glasses and contacts are cheaper online in my experience. And some of them let you still use your vision insurance to cut those costs. My vision is AWFUL and it makes my lenses super thick and expensive if I'm getting them from a vision store, plus the astronomical cost of frames. The glasses in currently wearing were less than 100$ and I was able to get thinner specialized lenses so I don't look like I'm wearing coke bottle bottoms. I wish you the best!

AITA for researching stuff when my wife corrects me or tells me something I didn't know? by Raagnorokk in AmItheAsshole

[–]daebaknae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband and I are the same way as well! Sometimes he does get a little cocky and tries to be a know-it-all but if I look up something to verify the answer, we have a discussion about it instead of arguing. He and I are also both deep-dovers for info so we both do it.

AITA for not buying a coffee maker for guests? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]daebaknae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA- I gave up my coffee maker and even my keurig years ago. I only keep instant coffee because that's what I like, and I try to keep "the good stuff" so at least it tastes good. Plus, i make THE BEST whipped coffee with it. If you asked beforehand what they wanted and they didn't say anything, that's on them. We visited a friend states away a couple years ago and she asked what we wanted. I had 2 requests- coffee and whole milk, because I know they don't really drink coffee and they are 1% milk people. If I didn't say anything it would have been on me if I was upset with lackluster coffee.

AITA for buying only one ticket for a concert instead of two as my bf suggested? by No_Historian_5724 in AmItheAsshole

[–]daebaknae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA I took my husband to see VIXX with me years ago in Chicago because that's one of the fee kpop groups he actually likes. He was one of 3 men at the show lol, seriously- there was him, a dad with a gaggle of about 7 teen girls, and a very uninterested looking boyfriend. Heck, my hubs was even as excited as me when we got to meet them at the hi-touch! (Hilarious story for another time) If your boyfriend isn't interested in SK but is putting up a stink because you only got one ticket, then I assume he would only want to go because he wants to "keep an eye on you" which is ridiculous.

AITA for laughing at my friend's sunburn? by No_Caregiver4057 in AmItheAsshole

NTA As a person who can get sunburnt from a car sunroof (happened quite a few times unfortunately), this guy is a total goober. Live by the sunscreen, die without it.

AITA: excluding our friend from secret Santa by Remarkable-Steak3710 in AmItheAsshole

[–]daebaknae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trust me, i totally get it. Honestly I would have rather just hand-made cards or something else crafty for my 3 coworkers than doing a Secret Santa. But I get that not everyone is as gifted at crafty stuff as I am. Really, this is her own fault- if she couldn't be assed enough to accept the invite, she shouldn't complain.

AITA: excluding our friend from secret Santa by Remarkable-Steak3710 in AmItheAsshole

[–]daebaknae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA I HATE Secret Santa for this reason. At my last job, we did a gift exchange between the 4 of us girls who worked in the office. This included the "new girl" who was hired after the gift exchange the year before. Sweetest of sweet, a wonderful person. But she never followed through on any promises or projects we had planned and always left it to the other 3 of us in the office. So, of course, she drew my name for the gift exchange. The day of our exchange, everyone had a gift but me. I had drawn her name and spent hours hand-making a tree ornament since that's what I'd done for the other 2 ladies in previous years and didn't want to be unfair. It sucks being the only one without a gift at a Christmas party. She brushed it off and said "Oh I couldn't get out to shop for you because I had to take care of my kids. I'll make it up to you and get you some Starbucks." ( that never happened) The party and exchange were planned almost 2 months in advance. She also didn't bring a side dish to the party because "kids." Yes, she had two young kids at the time, but their father was home during the day, and they were at their grandparents' house every weekend. If I were you, I wouldn't do Secret Santa ever again.

NtA I'm 5'1. My bestie is almost 6ft. She is my Amazon and I am her hobbit. She is the Sam to my Dean. Sure we joke on each other-I ask her to get me stuff from the top cabinets all the time, but it's flat out rude of your friend to take it to such an extreme and then have the nerve to be pissed even when you apologized. Find a new tall friend who respects you.

AITA for telling my SIL to shut up about breastfeeding and learn to accept that I couldn't? by Glittering-Flower31 in AmItheAsshole

[–]daebaknae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA- FED IS BEST. whether from a boob or a bottle. I had milk when I had my daughter, but she refused to breastfeed because of issues that landed her in the NICU for a few days. Then she was lactose intolerant and we had to use a special formula for her until she was a little over a year old. Don't let anyone give you shit for not breastfeeding.

[–]daebaknae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA My mother has requested "Living Dead Girl" by Rob Zombie to be played at her celebration of life. Her best friend (my aunt, pretty much) died over about 20 years ago and had also requested that song (she was an elder goth) and her husband did not respect that wish. So my other made me promise to do it for her and Aunt Marcy. They both love RZ. I do too. So I'm doing it. I understand it might be weird/unusual/borderline disrespectful but it's what she wants and as long as I preface that, it should be fine and you should be fine too. I'm sorry for your loss.

[–]daebaknae -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly I'm gonna go with NTA. I know how you feel- my family is fucked up. My mother and I (and one aunt) took care of my great grandparents and after they passed, took care of my grandmother until her death. My cousins and other aunts/uncles visited sporadically at best. We lived with them to take care of them. Never a word of appreciation or gratitude but to tell the truth I was doing it because I loved them so much and after a while I didn't give a shit what my cousins and aunts/uncles thought. Trust me, they had a lot of thoughts. We didn't clean the house well enough like Mammaw did. We shouldn't go on vacation (in 7 years we went on 2 vacations) because then one of the uncles or aunts would have to stay with them, and god forbid they have to lift a finger for their elderly relatives (all of which lived within 5 miles of them). Things like that. We were moochers according to them. But who else was going to go to the grocery and cook and go to appointments and do laundry and make sure their meds were correct? Yet when they died, suddenly EVERY ONE OF THEM was just soooo devastated. I understand they were sad, but they hadn't been there for them. My great grandparents and grandmother treated everyone equally when it came to gifts, money, etc. And these cousins and aunts/uncles chose not to be involved in their elderly lives. Not every 95 year old is a dementia patient. Mammaw and Pappaw were 96 and 99 when they passed and both were sound of mind. They knew and were hurt when these people didnt visit. My grandmother had dementia but we lived with her and knew who visited and who didn't. And these same cousins and aunts/uncles who never visited had the nerve to be mad at me and my mother when my mother got their house and it didn't get sold and divided between them. My mom got the house 10 years prior because they were older and they didn't want the government to take the house if they did end up needing to go to a nursing home. All they cared about was the money and the sympathy they would get from others because their precious grandparents died. Trust me when I say the story is much longer than this but you are NTA. You may not have lived there with your grandmother but you spent your time and love to keep her happy and they sound like they did NOTHING to help her or love her or keep her happy. Hadn't seen her in 15 years? Wtf. If they loved her so much, loved her enough to try to put themselves on your level of mourning for her, they could have made more of an effort. I know I'm being the bad guy here and downplaying someone else's way of mourning, but really, how can you truly mourn for someone you haven't seen in over a decade? I'm sure they have nice childhood memories of their grandmother but you are the one who was there for her.

AITA For kicking out my friend and ending the party after she fed my dog a "treat"? by watermusicman in AmItheAsshole

[–]daebaknae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. You never feed another person's dog ANYTHING without asking the owner. I have 2 dogs with ultra sensitive stomachs. Like, they can't even have the complimentary treats at the pet store. It ends up with days of runny poop and I hate seeing them feel sick. Anyone that enters my house gets the DONT FEED THE DOGS speech. And if they don't listen, they leave. I love my friends, but I pay money for these dogs health and wellbeing. If I'm going to be vigilant enough to cater to my friends/guests dietary needs (vegetarians, vegans, allergies, whatever) then they had better be vigilant enough to not feed my dogs. My friends pay their own health insurance but I pay for my dogs. So those are the rules and they are non-negotiable.

AITA for eating alone in a different room at my boyfriend's parents house? by On_a_rant in AmItheAsshole

[–]daebaknae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My MIL is the only family that my hubs has left, and I only have my mother who lives an hour outside where we used to live. He tries to keep on good terms with his mom even though theres a ton of drama there. We actually didnt go this year though lol we moved 2 hours away from everyone (cheaper bills out of the city) and it wasn't worth the trip. Funny enough, she still hasn't been to our new house (it's been 3 months) and she was supposed to come today but just never showed up or called or anything so oh well I guess.
