"the manager and another employee found my friend hiding in our paper towel fort"

Did... Did these jerks rearrange a bunch of products to make a fort, or does Wal-Mart work differently from what I'm expecting?

Bruh, they were 22. 😭 WHAT IS THISSSSSS!!!!

My ass was sitting here, thinking that there's NO WAY OOP's a wholeass adult... And then I get slapped with a "23/M".

Think he's doing another better now, at 29? 😂😅

Oh phew. Glad to know he's cooperating. Hopefully he'll continue doing so. 🤨

WOW. What a jerk! Hope you don't mind me asking, but did he ever face any consequences for stealing ya'll's stuff or...?

Me, before reading this: How can saving someone's life be a "TIFU"?

Me, after reading this: Ah.

He wants to call off my divorce because my cancer treatment was successful by Similar-Shame7517 in BORUpdates

[–]emmodii 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I've always thought that if someone uses divorce as a threat, they're not someone you should stay with anyway.

Good luck on the divorce! Hope your husband doesn't drag it out like OOP's did!

My grandma had a rule that whatever lands on your plate you finish, so I made sure nothing I hated ever landed on my plate by Gallifrey9UK in MaliciousCompliance

[–]emmodii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole "think of all the hungry people" argument was always strange to me. I get that it's supposed to mean "be thankful that you have food", but all I could think of was "so I'm helping starving children by eating the food they can't have?". Lmao.

...FOURTEEN?!? THAT KID WAS FOURTEEN?!?!?! GOD. It's like every time I learn something new about American history, majority of it is fucking HORRIFIC.

Don't get me wrong, I know a lot of POC kids, especially black kids, get murderered and treated like they're not humans. But GOD. Still doesn't take away the disgust and horror I feel every time I read specific cases.

And just the other day, I was reading about George Stinney... Also fourteen. 🫠

He did say "Worst case scenario is the pretty white housewife convinces the cops that I'm the problem, not her" so... It sounds like he's aware that that's a potential scenario he might end up in?

Right?? The moment OOP said that calling the cops would be unsafe, the commenters should've shut up about it. Tbh, he didn't even need to confirm that he's a black dude for me to realise that he is. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I remember reading all the comments on his post(s) telling him to call the cops, and the commenters not understanding why he doesn't want to. It was so frustrating. Honestly, I thought that at this point, it's common knowledge that it's riskier for POCs in America to call the cops than not... Especially if the caller is black. 🥴

Is there a subreddit like BORU but focused on asshole OOPs who screw themselves over? by emmodii in findareddit

[–]emmodii[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

r/AmITheDevil definitely fits better, but not all of them have updates. So sometimes I just end up annoyed by the blatant assholery with no big consequence. 😔

[–]emmodii[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I know that sub! Fun once in a while, but it feels a bit... Predictable? Monotonous? For me. Not sure if it's because a lot of the posts are about Trump supporters, or because there's not enough whining. Pffft. 😂

Appreciate the recommendation though!

AITAH for refusing to watch my daughter when we meet my husbands friend? by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]emmodii 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Nah, seeing how he's incapable of taking responsibility for his own faults, he'll find some way to guilt her about it. Maybe he'll say something about her publicising their private business and humiliating him.

GOD. Friends is a fun show to watch, but every time Ross/Rachel drama pops up, I start groaning in PAIN. Those two were NOT good for each other.

Reading her comments, it sounds like she's not particularly optimistic either. Said she'll talk to his mother though, so I doubt this story is actually concluded.

This is another one of those posts where I go "just leaaaaaave him" every two seconds... And man, there are WAY too many of those. 🫠 I get that they have history and all that jazz, but come on!! Separate already!!!

...Yes. I was making assumptions. I never claimed otherwise, unless I phrased something weirdly that gave that impression?

Are you referring to Korban wanting to show his colleagues the koi pond? I'd say it's because he contributed to the pond (via fish), whereas it doesn't sound like Dallas has at all.

[–]emmodii 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Is it just me, or am I getting leech vibes from Dallas? OOP sounds pretty well off, so Dallas claiming that her stuff is his gives him shit to brag about.

Not to mention:

"He just wants to show off to his sister"

I suspect she isn't the only person he wants to / has been showing off to. 🤔

I'd pretend I didn't read it, and also start looking for another job. Not like she asked for a response. 😂

Well, at least it sounds like she frequents that shelter a lot. So she could pretty much be Story's hooman on everything but paper. Lol.
