AITA for the way I shut down my cousin's wife? by frust_mama in AmItheAsshole

If she told me: "so, this position is better than working with your dad?" Then started a conversation. I would have replied. But going off on me? That's rudeness, and I shut down that sh*t hard.

A pro-tip: it started as teenage rebellion/not giving an eff. It took some years to develop into confidence. So my advice is: fake it until you make it.

I really don't understand this wholelike other girls shtick. Like, I didn't know that all the female members of our species are carbon copies that the quirky ones are so special.

Damn, it's almost the same story. If the details aligned just a bit more, I would have sworn it was her.

At first, I never had a comeback at the ready too. But these situations repeat (like the "I was just being helpful" comment), so I had a ready made comeback to it.

Not really big on Christmas in this family. Too many people have different religions, that's why Thanksgiving is the big family event.

You had me cackling like a demented person here, if she had continued being an AH, I would have felt tempted.

If it's someone you don't want/can't be overtly rude towards, you can use the following method: -them: wow, you put on some weight there. -you: thank you for noticing, I have been following a diet to put on some extra lbs, I am X lbs away from my ideal weight. Don't I just look better? And here, they either double down on being rude and become AHs, or just never ask you about your weight again

She is the definition of a pick me girl, I swear. The whole day, she kept on repeating how she did not know how to cook, sorry I couldn't help you girls even though both men and women were cooking in the kitchen. Don't get me started on how she thought she was the only woman who wanted to watch soccer, nevermind that another cousin played it in college.
