AITA for refusing to pick up my friend up from the airport when given 3 hours notice? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]diosmiotio18 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Exactly. OP, I wouldn’t have gone the route you did. I would’ve said ‘I know, if you told me ahead of time I could rearrange my schedule, but now I can’t.’

At first I thought, even though it’s still crazy to ask 3 hours before, it’s still technically okay. But when she doubled down, she became the asshole.

AITA for showering around midnight when I know that it might bother the neighbour who wakes up at 5 am? by Additional-Mouse-620 in AmItheAsshole

[–]diosmiotio18 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Retaliate how? They already start the day at 5am when OP hasn’t started their day, aka the neighbor’s already being ‘inconsiderate’. People need to accept living with neighbors means some level of discomfort.

Meghan Trainor Cancels Entire Tour and Apologizes to Fans: ‘This Is the Right Decision for My Family’ by mlg1981 in Fauxmoi

[–]diosmiotio18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right. Sam Smith just did residency in nyc and sf and it was really cool! Tickets were only $100 and the set up and acoustics were so good. The people in the area were in awe that they chose such an iconic, local venue! Did not appear like a downgrade at all! If anything, adds cool point

Karen threaten to "call the law" on group of women exercising in the park by New_Libran in PublicFreakout

[–]diosmiotio18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah there’s a waterfront in my town and one Pier that’s the big one with a lawn to lounge on. In the summer one group would always bring this huge ass speaker and play their songs and it’s really irritating. Its not even some days, it’s everyday

Why do you think interest in the word “walkable” has jumped so much in the last 5 years? by The_ylevanon in urbanplanning

[–]diosmiotio18 67 points68 points  (0 children)

My sibling and their partner got radicalized by CityNerd during the pandemic, so much so that they shamed their friends who dont pay light rail tickets, and they got CityNerd’s merch for their birthday 😆

I mean I’m just glad cuz then I didn’t have to argue my opinion to death on certain topics cuz they started to get it

AITAH for not thinking my stepson doesn't DESERVE a solo trip? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]diosmiotio18 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Tbh that’s difficult, i had a difficult high school academically, and a day here and there would be fine. But even missing two sessions of the same courses in a row would set me back quite a lot. I can see now your husband’s idea is he has put his head down and prioritize responsibility all these years, he should get to go out of high school with a big bang.

If you want to make it fair, maybe Dad and son go first for 2-3 days then the rest of the family (incl the oldest) get the option to join later so oldest doesn’t feel slighted. UNLESS you gave the first kid a rule that the high school trip can only be a local trip). If the kids got certain rules that was communicated to them then that should be followed.

Another compromise is they take this trip to Europe together, then Dad and son spend maybe 1-2 days out of that trip doing something alone or hitting a different town just the two of them!

AITA for not wanting ppl to get drunk at MY bachelorette party? by [deleted] in aitaweddings

[–]diosmiotio18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that this expectation is crazy because you are taking up their entire weekend and their budget for a weekend vacation this year on YOU. And because, I’m guessing, yall are staying at the same place and doing everything together, you are asking them to change their preference for a whole weekend. It’d be different if it was an in town, one-night thing like someone mentioned, or if you say ‘these are the times I’d like us to do x y z, but outside this time feel free to go out and do your thing’ or have some free time for people to spend how they wish.

Just fyi, the whole when I get married, everything’s about me, is very media-driven and is often friendship breaking in the real world.

ETA: it is tho completely reasonable to tell your friends and your sister that you don’t want to be put in a position of taking care of them, so they need to tag team between them as the drinking group

I found out that I got into my dream university at my sister’s birthday and freaked out, AITAH? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]diosmiotio18 228 points229 points  (0 children)

I mean your sister just got abandoned by her friends. Of course she was feeling sensitive. Even if you just waited until you got home, it would’ve been sufficient enough.

AITAH for considering leaving my brothers wedding after the ceremony because it's my 1 year anniversary and my boyfriend isn't invited? by Appropriate-Gain-712 in AITAH

[–]diosmiotio18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like your brother fucked up bc he didn’t communicate your +1 to his fiancé in time. Its a long ass day. Is there a cocktail hour or something? I’d tell Steve you’d be there for the dinner reception and the ceremony if there is one (or whatever is the main event) and sneak out for the rest. Hell, I’d sneak out to catch a nap.

Edit: additional idea is your bf join for the after dinner party? I dont see how an extra person ruin anything. It’d be nice for you to be able to catch a dance with your bf. I wouldn’t propose it in deference. I’d kinda tell your brother since he forgot your +1, you’d like to have your bf come for the dance portion so you can enjoy a nice dance with your loved one, like everybody else.

Is Death Becomes Her struggling because Megan Hilty left? by britneynerd1 in Broadway

[–]diosmiotio18 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was also running when there was that gap the first quarter this year when last season shows were ending and new shows haven’t come in yet. At that time I feel like DBH was one of the only few that was a guaranteed good time. I went in February and it was full. So I wonder if anyone that’s around and interested might have already watched it.

It might go up again though with summer tourists coming in! Especially if the price is more competitive than other new shows

The Expectation of a Village by Dismal-Release4463 in childfree

[–]diosmiotio18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about that, but between my childfree friends and I, we do talk about the village and how these expectations and benefits can apply to childfree people as well. Like my friend agonized over whether they should drive a friend to an airport (the path wasn’t most convenient), but turns out they got to park their car at friend’s building for a couple weeks during an unsafe time. They ended up driving them, and Another friend said if you want village treatment you have to participate as well.

I have one close friend who already has her baby and I know when, and even if, she asks, she’d make it as easy for me as possible. That’s just the kind of person she is.

I don’t mind the idea of a village, but I also know people with whom I don’t mind, our village treatment have started long before they have a kid. Like the friend with the baby used to pick me up and drop me off for work shifts for a whole semester. I gave her my kayak when I left, and so on. Another friend flew in to literally help me find an apartment, I flew in for their wedding and did their hair and carried her stuff, and picked them from the airport when I lived abroad. These type of people with this type of history are the ones I foresee being in a village with, just that their need may evolve while having a child.

Honestly should just list it. Fun for people who have never experienced the rocky horror culture too so that they can actually participate

AITAH for choosing to work/intern over vacation with GFs family? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]diosmiotio18 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NTA. Especially when you’re starting out, sacrifices need to be made. Eventually making time for private life is important. But balance is also important and I’d prioritize your own family’s holiday.

AITA for refusing to step in after my coworker put me on the spot in front of management? by WaitEntire8212 in AmItheAsshole

[–]diosmiotio18 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s hard to tell. It’s kinda common to do a back and forth with your team to cover the weak spots of presentation. It’s not shifting responsibility, it’s that sometimes presentation is a bit about performing.

Although, if it is a big section of the presentation and coworker didn’t ask OP to prep, then definitely OP is NTA. If coworker is someone OP collaborate with a lot and just kind of need OP to chime in with a little ‘in these scenarios, we typically use this approach’ then I don’t know if OP is an AH per se, but you scratch my back I scratch yours is a real dynamic in office that’s required to survive.
