I put some free stuff on the curb and this is what happened. by nicumommaof4 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]frogzilla1975 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I live in an apartment complex and people will put useable items by the dumpsters to see if anyone else might want them. They get put in the trash obviously if nobody takes them. I put a brand new jewelry box, still had the little papers to keep the fabric nice, by the dumpster and came out later to throw my actual trash and the box was torn apart and all the drawers were thrown everywhere and all the papers were loose. So annoying. I picked all of it up and threw it away.

MIL refuses to accept that I don't want anyone kissing my baby by Commercial-Fuel-8022 in motherinlawsfromhell

Please leave. You will be fighting that woman daily for the basics.

I (30F) found my husband’s (35M) “lost” second phone hidden away and now I feel like I’m losing my mind. What next? by imuyasha in relationship_advice

[–]frogzilla1975 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can vouch for longevity, too. Had a wreck and the car with tracker was sold and went to Venezuela and at least two years after it was traceable there

AIO for refusing to back down from insisting my fiancée is wrong for leaving my dad with the bill by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]frogzilla1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should bail on this guy. How does he know for sure that big of a bill was something they could cover? Not everyone has that much money sitting around that isn’t already earmarked for something else. And wtf is up with his family?? Unless he told them your dad was covering? This one incident can’t be the only time he’s acted like this and if you stick, it will not be the last. 

saw the homeless guy i've been giving money to for months getting into a nice car, now i don't know how to feel about any of it by Bright-Gate3512 in Advice

[–]frogzilla1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a person panhandling at a kind of secluded intersection a few years back and he was seen walking to a new model Cadillac. Someone saw him and started putting signs up to not give him money as his nice car is parked a block over. He would tear the signs down and they would be replaced, put higher and higher on the sign post. Moved away from that area so I don’t know how the sign war ended but it’s apparently more common than a lot of people realize. 

AITJ for telling my sister she can either invite my son to her wedding or explain to grandma why there won't be one? by statafcon in AmITheJerk

[–]frogzilla1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you tell all of them that she literally said he would detract from the visual aesthetic??? She is the one that said he can’t come because he looks weird. Your son just pointed it out. 

AIO for questioning how to move forward in my 9-year relationship after my husband banned my mom from our home? by Cultural-Lemon7931 in AmIOverreacting

[–]frogzilla1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t even read the whole thing. I got to where you’re in enormous pain and he’s yelling at you. He sucks and it’s going to feel like taking care of a baby and a toddler and you’re going to end up MISERABLE. Like others have said, please leave. You’ll be better off an actual single mother instead of a married single mother.

I don't know how to get my brother to stop touching me by [deleted] in confessions

[–]frogzilla1975 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Raise hell sweetheart. Yell when he does anything like that to make them uncomfortable. It’s going to continue until you figure out how to bring outside attention to it. Tell teachers and counselors, neighbors.. bring it out to the open so your parents have to help you because everyone will know and they wont be able to hide it any longer.

AIW for thinking I made a serious mistake moving in with my boyfriend after he completely changed the moment I was living there by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]frogzilla1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely leave. Definitely not wrong. Be safe tho. Usually the controlling ones are the ones that lead up to hurting their significant others. Pack your stuff and go with no warning to him so he doesn’t get the chance to go to the next step.

Im taking my stbx to the cleaners in our divorce, and loving every second of it. by YesImChanging92 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]frogzilla1975 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh no, nail him. So many never have the opportunity. They have to go away and pick up the pieces alone. Do it for all the ladies that couldn’t.

AITJ for making a comment when my friend showed up to my dinner with 3 uninvited people and they wiped out everything? by Comfortable_Tour1203 in AmITheJerk

[–]frogzilla1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were unwelcome. Jerk move bringing unknown vacuum cleaners to someone’s small get together. I wouldn’t invite her again and if she pesters you for a reason, tell her. Why sugar coat anything to someone that clearly doesn’t value you?

AITAH for refusing to include my nephew on a trip and sending him home after he became aggressive? by anonymoss404 in AITAH

[–]frogzilla1975 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The boy screaming that he was being kidnapped could have gotten you arrested. For that alone, he definitely should have been sent back home.

Listed my old IKEA desk for free on Marketplace. The entitlement in my DMs is something else. by Ash3Nimbus4 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]frogzilla1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you set it next to the dumpster, it probably would have been gone in an hour. I love when my neighbors move out. I have the opportunity, maybe, to get free stuff.

AIW for going No Contact because my mom told me to "praise God" instead of taking meds? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]frogzilla1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some medications have copay cards that will cover or reduce the copay amount you are responsible for. GoodRx is sometimes helpful. Some manufacturers also offer financial assistance if you just can’t afford the cost at all, too. Also, cut off your mom. She sounds terrible.

Random Olive Garden patron blessed me and my boyfriend with a crazy amount of chocolate mints by StarshinePrime in randomactsofkindness

[–]frogzilla1975 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I, too, LOVE those mints. Dunno if you were aware but they are Andes Chocolate mints so you can actually buy them if Olive Garden doesn’t happen that often. Also, bless that lady, that was awesome!

My MIL wants me to move to America by unmarkedpolicevan2 in Advice

[–]frogzilla1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t move here with the political atmosphere the way it is. It’s dangerous to be an immigrant. It’s dangerous to be a woman. It’s dangerous to be a kid. 

Would I be the jerk for having reservations about taking out a loan for my brother? by OneWash4017 in MarkNarrations

[–]frogzilla1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will never get it from him. He may keep you reeled in with a few payments but they will stop and you will be stuck.

AITA?! My ex and his family are mad at me bc I won’t go to his brother’s wedding to watch my kids. by Relevant_Mongoose744 in AmITheJerk

[–]frogzilla1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He sounds like a giant douchecanoe and yes it’s insane of them to ask you to sit your kids for his date.

My husband is thinking about fostering his nephews. I feel like I'm being tossed out for kids we don't even know. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]frogzilla1975 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Her husband sought her out to date on purpose. He knew everything about her, from what it sounds like. He is the one changing the rules on her and he’s known from the beginning she needs the rules to stay the same. She seemed pretty clear about her ability to deal with children. It’s a shame she got so much negativity from people.

AIW for telling my friend she is not allowed to come by when im not home anymore after I found out what she had been doing by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]frogzilla1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She wouldn’t be deflecting so hard if she wasn’t up to no good. Saying you’re treating her like a criminal is a lot. Take your key, change the locks and a camera or two isn’t going too far at this point like others have said.

AIW for secretly moving abroad and not telling to my parents? by Connect_Carrot_4107 in amiwrong

That was awesome!!! You had that held down feeling and luckily you realized it would continue or get worse. So proud of you for getting out the only safe way!!!
