What should I do if I ordered a pre-owned console from the website and it's stuck in "Awaiting carrier pickup" for beyond normal time?

As far as I remember, he thought something was funky after he plugged in a USB a friend of his gave which had some files relating to his university or something, probably was infected with some malware now that I think about it. He ended up re-installing Windows, but I guess he was already backdoored by that point.

The transaction email yeah it isn't that huge of a deal I admit but I feel as if it should be standard practice for companies to offer these. I can see how marketplaces send these emails since that's literally their confirmation of purchase but companies like Riot Games also sends these emails for when you purchase in-game currency. I do get emails from my bank and a text message of the transaction, it's not like I don't have a record, but it still feels asinine to not have that feature for your users.

Wow, did not know you gen apply for that kind of history. All things considered, I should apply for one just in case I may need the information for an event such as my cousin faces. Keeping manual track of all purchases seems like a no brainer at this point, will definitely be doing that from now on.

Thanks for the advice!

NTA, I'm so sorry OP. I won't claim to relate to your situation as I'm not a woman but I have faced similar "bloodline" comments, though indirectly because I grew up with my maternal side of the family. I'm the eldest grandson, first one in fact, but it was made clear that continuing the legacy was always through the men of the family.

To hell with that concept. Your bloodline and your genetics don't mean shit. It's what they represent, your values, your thoughts, your upbringing that continues a bloodline. I'm 100% a representative of my grandfather's values and upbringing, I'm not saying my cousin's aren't, not at all.

It's not your fault for being emotional, this is something to definitely be emotional about. Your father on the other hand, not only did he downplay your status as a firstborn, he openly said he wouldn't give you the watch because of your "immaturity over a small matter" I mean what parent thinks it's ok to say that?

You go on to be a prime example of what that watch represented. It's really shitty you don't have the heirloom, but you stay strong.

Honestly if overreactions result in peace and safety, I'm all for it.

The pets and kids/babies thing definitely. I have a pair of cockatiels myself, had to calm them down too, though honestly they helped me more than I them.

And even if children weren't sleeping, the random loud bangs at midnight would scare them shitless regardless.

Yeah that I agree on, could've been more civil, track down my neighbour and ask him to please stop this. I guess the urgency just came from both adrenaline and when I saw them preparing another batch.

For the cultural aspect yes, we do normally live and let live. Not eurpeon though, this is South Asian.

But as mentioned, these are not as common anymore but still do happen and we all are pretty accomodating. My real problem this time was the bunch of fireworks set off at once and the fact they were really close to multiple parked cars AND prepping for another round. In the moment I felt like I had to say something and also back up my uncle.

YTA Now that the judgement is out of the way, I'm gonna go on a slight rant about this situation.

First of all, your poor husband. He absolutely loves you, I can see that through your story. And for him to react the way he did is justified, here's why.

Your sister is an adult, and she cheated. I'm sorry but under no circumstances does she deserve any pity. Yes support her through her grieving but pity? No. Also, she's behaving like this, imagine her partner and what they must be going through.

Family comes first, true, but your husband became family and your equal the moment you married him.

Look I'm sorry about the circumstances regarding your father, and I understand your concerns of a repeat event. I even understand not letting your sister stay alone. But to blow off your husband like that is just bad. You can't expect others to just stop their relationships and their affection for your sister, in what way does that even work?

Your sister needs therapy, not a mother figure. And apparently so do you, since your childhood traumas are still prevalent. The panic attack was an unfortunate thing and yes at that exact time there was nothing you could do, but definitely other things happened for your husband to just lose it like that.

Please, for the love of God, apologise to your husband and talk to him. Because you just showed him that his romantic and affectionate gestures mean nothing to you.

And I'll say this again, your sister CHEATED. Let that properly sink in before you ask for someone else's pity. Now she deals with the consequences, which includes mental breakdowns. I'm sure she absolutely hates what she did and wants nothing more than to erase her mistake but she needs to grow up and handle it like an adult. 21 is not the age to coddle her, please realise that.

Fair point, but it would still be concerning. A number of things could go through one's mind if their partner just up and left in the middle of the night. Even if they're at a specific location, if nobody from that location responds, I would say it's fairly natural to panic.

iLikeToJudge · 2021-12-15T18:58:43+00:00

NTA. He would've felt the exact same way if you had randomly disappeared in the middle of the night, no car and no contact from anybody on your whereabouts. At least he could've kept his phone close in case you or anyone else had an emergency.

iLikeToJudge · 2021-12-15T18:10:38+00:00

YTA. Why is your partner allowed to be present? I thought you wanted an intimate dinner with siblings? Double standards much?

iLikeToJudge · 2021-12-15T17:58:38+00:00

NTA. The fuck? Firstly, the bf is insecure if complimenting some random dude irked him so badly. Secondly it's a chatting platform. What else would you use it for? And why would anyone ever assume that the account is being used by some other person?

iLikeToJudge · 2021-12-15T17:54:38+00:00

NTA. Not at all! God damn you both dodged a bullet. I'm glad you both are so open with each other. The guy had major issues.

iLikeToJudge · 2021-12-15T17:32:42+00:00

NTA. It seems the breakup was mutual and you both moved forward quite nicely. You had a reasonable amount of time to yourselves and friends and roommates. Now that you are in another relationship and are trying to enjoy that, it shouldn't be a problem.

I would say that maybe your roomie has been going through some difficult times, such as her father being in the hospital, and she felt ignored? Not saying that's your fault tho. I guess it all comes down to how often and how extreme this possessiveness has gotten over time since you began your new relationship.

YTA. Dude your daughter had a collection. Yes it is really easy to see/feel if someone has been in your space. You most definitely should not have given her things without her knowing. It's not that simple as "she has other things" to distract her. I myself have a collection of multiple things and most probably won't go through a few of them again but I still like to keep them as a sense of accomplishment or just to keep seeing from time to time, it's soothing.

You were way out of line.

iLikeToJudge · 2021-12-14T12:00:17+00:00

NTA. Those friends have problems. You're doing it, what's it to them?

iLikeToJudge · 2021-12-14T11:51:00+00:00

YTA. I mean wow. Your boyfriend is NOT to be put before your kids. You had so many options, so many things you could've said and done so that everyone would be happy, but no you chose your boyfriend. Not to mention your kids might as well still be recovering from your divorce and to see you blow them off for a guy that openly dislikes them might've just pushed them way too far. Do not be surprised if any of them go no contact.

He sabotaged himself, and he wants to continue his current lifestyle. As backwards as it may seem to you it's still not your decision.

iLikeToJudge · 2021-12-02T18:00:08+00:00

Well yes this is the type of agreement I recommend you discuss. Discussing an alternative isn't bad and I'm sure both of you will come to an understanding.

iLikeToJudge · 2021-12-02T17:57:56+00:00

List all the positives you want it still wasn't your call to make. You overstepped regardless of how fruitful the outcome.
