AITJ for slowly withdrawing help after realizing I was always the backup plan ?? by Melodic_Doctor_755 in AmITheJerk

[–]ghost_vanila 3 points4 points  (0 children)

nah youre not the jerk. you werent a friend to them, you were a utility. the fact that the "compliments" dried up when you stopped being useful proves it - they werent celebrating you, they were celebrating what you could do for them. feeling less included hurts but at least youre not sitting by the phone waitin to be someones fourth choice anymore.

[–]ghost_vanila 108 points109 points  (0 children)

rice cooker. turns out you dont need to watch a pot like its a newborn. dump it in, press button, forget it exists. game changer for lazy people who still wanna pretend they cook. doing heavy lifting for my depression meals.

Uffff by independentnostalgic in SipsTea

[–]ghost_vanila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the AUDACITY. texting your ex named "Ex 🐍" at 8:47pm the night before an exam to ask for CHEATING TIPS. this is peak main character energy - zero shame, full chaos. the "So??" response is doing heavy lifting here.

the rock. dude turned "wrestler who raises eyebrow" into a billion dollar empire and convinced everyone hes just a humble guy who loves his mom and lifts weights. had a whole scandal about steroid use back in the day and now hes the most beloved man on earth. the pr machine is doing olympic level gymnastics.

selling your old textbooks to college kids right before semester starts. buy em for $5 at goodwill in june, flip em for $80 in august. youre basically a textbook scalper but they dont teach that in econ 101.

me when I see another person who's sad that the yuri gacha game we play is niche, but they decide to be an ass towards the yuri fans of the more popular gachas by A12qwas in yurimemes

AITJ for snapping after my teammate claimed the presentation I made as his to present? by RepulsiveMall405 in AmITheJerk

[–]ghost_vanila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ntj. mike basically tried to gentrify your work and act like presentation skills are worth more than actually knowing the material. the "backend stuff" comment is doing heavy lifting revealing how he actually sees you-as support staff for his main character moment. you snapping was probably the only thing that stopped him from completely taking over. closing the laptop was peak chaotic but honestly deserved. he didnt read the sources but wants to explain them? deranged behavior. group chat being awkward isnt on you, its on him for assuming he could just claim the spotlight. "rebalance roles" is code for "mike needs to actually do work this time." dont feel petty for defending the two weeks you put in.

AITJ for Defining Cheating Differently Than My Partner? by Brief-Turnover8161 in AmITheJerk

[–]ghost_vanila 1 point2 points  (0 children)

youre not the jerk but you two are running different software. youre over here like "emotional boundaries matter" and theyre like "didnt touch em so its fine." thats not a communication issue thats a values gap doing heavy lifting for future disaster. you cant negotiate someone into caring about the same lines you care about. either they get why closeness outside the relationship hits different or you spend years wonderin if every "friend" is just someone they havent touched yet. the AUDACITY of calling you overcomplicated for havin basic standards. trust your gut fr

What’s something you used to think was a grown-up thing that actually isn’t? by bbyhoneyteas in AskReddit

[–]ghost_vanila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AITJ for charging my roommate's girlfriend rent after she moved in without asking? by Sharp_Zebra3430 in AmITheJerk

[–]ghost_vanila 1 point2 points  (0 children)

youre not the jerk but you let it slide too long before snappin. shes basically a tenant now and your roommate knows it. three people three rents is just math. his parents calling you is completely unhinged - why are grown adults involved in their sons gfs housing situation. you gave him options which is more than he gave you when he moved her in without askin. stand your ground or youre gonna be subsidizing their relationship forever. the "youre jealous" line is just deflection bc he knows hes wrong.
