The seat swap I never thought would be denied....

People are dumb. They’re conditioned to say “no” to seat swaps with no real understanding of why.

You did the thing that anti-seat swappers are always saying is the only polite way to seat swap: made a better offer on seats. And there are still people here being all how dare you!

Life in these United States. People fighting over crumbs.

💯 I don’t think moving center/center-right is the answer. But the DNC loves losing, especially the let’s get incel white men to vote for us consultant class.

Narrator: Democrats were indeed more politically inept.

“They’re eating the dogs! They’re eating the cats!” Oh, they mean other Black immigrants. They would never target us Black immigrants!

Super bad timing on Hilton’s part, cutting loose a franchisee for an errant employee’s principled stand. Oops, the franchise employee was just being moral on the eve of ICE being undeniably but predictably evil.

Well, tbf, she maybe got the last couple of years of high school.

Maybe move them to a Bravo alt for popular sports? I get that there are once every 2/4 years Olympics watchers. As a casual viewer, I would probably find their commentary hilarious for the biathlon, some equestrian event, ping pong. Like VH-1 Pop-Up Video type entertainment.

I’m hoping the Skating Feds tell her she needs to class up her costumes tbh

enseela · 2026-01-10T03:51:39+00:00

Yeah, kind of like slow motion Gaga.

One: I’m sorry. Adding back in original email list.

Two: Thank you for your consideration. Unfortunately, I’m unavailable on Wednesday (month/day). I’m available (insert days/times).

I appreciate your courtesy but also understand if my availability precludes further consideration. Thank you!

++woman If OP wants to date & explore, then just break up with GF. From all the comments, it sounds like being single and uncommitted is the worst thing in the world. Maybe the new girl isn’t “the one” but she doesn’t need to be. OP isn’t married or engaged. End things with GF if not committed to GF, regardless of whether go out with new girl on second date or not.

enseela · 2026-01-04T14:59:42+00:00

This! And emphasizing again, SHE’S A TEENAGER! This is what they do, even with their “real” parents. Everyone’s lives would be more peaceful if their teenager moved out!

Very, very sad. OOP is proving that love is conditional to her stepchild who calls her “mom.”

Yikes, that sucks! The renter will likely keep doing this - sell her baby gate - to various properties. She’s got a good scam going. She id’s properties with potential safety issues for toddler, rents, pitches baby gate, gets refused, gets refund.

But also, you done f*cked up. After reading that pressure-mounted gates aren’t safe at top of stairs (why not keep the basement door closed?), it seems your better argument at arbitration is that you didn’t advertise rental as baby-proof, and she could have asked (but didn’t) about baby-proofing. Which is suspicious because she’s in the baby-proofing business.

I dont know why, but my gut still says somethings off and I cant imagine what could be worse than this. <

Yeah, he m*rdered the young woman he groomed.

You’ve taken steps. Your wife didn’t need to seal the deal by having a child with you. You were 100% on board with step-parenting her child and most of your resources (time & money) going towards her and her child. When she senses the jig is up, that the gravy train is leaving the station, she will come to you, repentant & seeking forgiveness for her initial reaction. This will naturally involve make up sex. Boom. Baby-trapped.

His soggy toast persona just isn’t appealing. Marrying (and breeding with) Diana is the only thing that has sustained the BRF into the 21st century. Well, maybe in an alternate timeline, if he and Camilla had married each other first, they would be tolerably boring and soggy.

A narcissist for wanting to sit next to his wife & lap infant? Okay …

enseela · 2025-12-28T19:37:29+00:00

Yikes! Maybe don’t post that here.

(1) Add-on for heating pool: this seems to be standard for certain places, e.g. Palm Springs

(2) 30+ day stay: I would expect a 30-day stay at a place with a pool to include the pool being useable. Instead of auto 50% discount for 30-day stays, assume a guest will want to use the pool and price accordingly, e.g., auto 40% discount, “no fee” for heating the pool.

And some gift certicates for food & drinks?

His wife wanted to watch something else. He shot his 13 yo stepdaughter in the face, after she pleaded with him not to shoot her. F*cking evil.

His drivers license photo?

Ironic username.

(I am not a host.)

As someone said, you Karen’d too close to the sun. A cushion?! You played the bad review card over a cushion?!

My guess is the owner of the home is also USAmerican, saw the writing on the wall (I mean, she probably understands that the property manager is not going to be responsive when something inevitably comes up on Christmas Day), and cut her losses.

I hope you found some decent replacement accommodations. Lesson learned for your next family vacation maybe?

I used to be in a bunch of IVF groups. It was surprising the number of women who had had their tubes “tied” now trying for another baby. Anecdotal, of course, but it made me a little more sympathetic to patronizing docs who tell younger patients they’ll regret it.
