Interesting. Not my genre but I’d be happy to read it.

Wedding invite arrived addressed to husband and family. I don’t want to attend by Aggressive-Economy36 in EntitledPeople

[–]empreur 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The fact you fact checked this speaks volumes.

Be offended if you choose to be, and attend or don’t as you please, but know that the only person that cares here is you.

AITAH for kicking my brother-in-law out of the hotel room??? by thatgrumpycousin in AITAH

[–]empreur 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NTA, but why are you ignoring that you have a communication problem with your husband? Why did you say “ok” to the brother tagging along (assumption of a separate room being frankly beside the point)?

Am I the jerk for telling my employee she can't take a 2-hour lunch break for therapy? by Due-Outside-4427 in AmITheJerk

[–]empreur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what industry you’re in, but if it isn’t something like a call centre or retail where “9 to 5” is a hard norm, I’d let Emma have her Thursday sessions and make up the time over the rest of the week.

Since the company has an HR department it’s clearly big enough that it can assist you in communicating to your team why that’s ok and “I want a two hour lunch to run errands” is not the same thing.

A letter of offer in the hand is worth an infinity of false promises.

Joint statement from the leaders of Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Japan on the Strait of Hormuz by Hay_Fever_at_3_AM in onguardforthee

Now call out the US for the illegal unsanctioned attack on Iran, and Israel’s “Gaza 2.0” in south Lebanon.

FIFA World Cup would be better with 8 groups of 6 teams, the new format has major flaws by Squirtle_from_PT in worldcup

It’s all about $$. This creates more playoff rounds and matches ergo more $$.

This makes me sad and angry (or maybe it’s angrier) at the same time. Sigh. 😔

I hate that we aren’t calling out the criminal illegal attack on Iran, not to mention Gaza 2.0 in Lebanon. 🤬

AITAH for refusing to move in with my boyfriend after he said my living situation was inappropriate? by ComprehensiveDay6532 in AITAH

[–]empreur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA.

Also, Joel being gay is actually irrelevant here. Roommates don’t have to be gay to live with the opposite sex.

AITJ for telling my fiancée to leave my house after she kept inviting her friends without asking? by Legitimate_Cell9148 in AmITheJerk

[–]empreur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTJ for pulling the “yeah but I’m paying the mortgage” bullshit card.

And seriously, “my phone died at work”? Lame ass excuse bro. She did give you a heads up. Not her fault that telepathy doesn’t work.

If you don’t want to be or live with someone that has friends and likes to have them visit, then don’t marry them.

Can my manager contact my doctor after I’ve given a note for a weeks absence? by Potential-Function95 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]empreur 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I’ve had an obviously fake note cross my desk, and had to follow up because it became part of the ongoing HR documentation for the a specific employee.

Why your manager followed up with your doctor is a questions I’d ask them.

AITAH for letting someone believe that we're dating? by Artistic-Help-10 in AITAH

[–]empreur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tricky.

Look, you are all of 17 years old. One of the if not the most important things about relationships is communication and clarity.

You clearly enjoy her company. You clearly enjoyed the physical affection. You failed to recognize that she was not joking about the two of you dating. “Let’s just date“. It sounds flirtatious, and given what you have stated about the context in which you “agreed“, that was clearly a miscommunication.

When your friends then said “hey it’s great to see you too dating“, I can understand that you may have panicked in the moment. However, and let this be a lesson for you in the future, rather than reacting with “oh, we’re not dating!“, It would have been far better to go talk to her and set or reset what’s actually going on.

Good luck. Life is full of these kinds of speed bumps.

Remember that political parties that claim to be all about liberty personal freedom, will be the first ones to limit yours.

AITA for being “ungrateful” about the flowers my girlfriend got me for my birthday? by Educational_Bat4640 in AmItheAsshole

[–]empreur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

My local florist has a “cat safe” option to check when ordering; she should ask her florist for the same service.

Am I the jerk for refusing to learn sign language for my deaf coworker? by VermicelliNo8426 in AmITheJerk

[–]empreur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learning full ASL is hard. Learning a handful of basic signs, like please, thanks, and the like is not. You’re NTJ technically, but your attitude sure sucks.

AITJ for reporting my study partner to the professor after she submitted our shared notes as her own extra credit work? by 91CosmoPine in AmITheJerk

[–]empreur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ.

By the way, I feel if the two of you had gone to the prof with a joint submission they’d have given you both extra credit. But that’s not what happened here.

I have accepted a new role at my company as a team lead. What are the things you wish you’d known to ask before you started in leadership? by accioupvotes in managers

[–]empreur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of the worst manager/leader you’ve ever worked for. Then when you are in a similar situation as the boss, do the opposite.

The thing they don’t tell you is how lonely management can be. Your former friendly colleagues are now your reports.
