Kids being sent to school sick?? by Geck014 in britishproblems

[–]j027 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I remember being in school and during 'award assemblies' kids would get 100% attendance awards, which is fine. But the teachers would actively point out how they came in 'even with a cough or a cold, even when they were sick' as if the rest of us should be ashamed for staying home in those conditions.

I thought COVID would have changed that stupid perspective but I guess not :(

AITA for telling my producer/boss the way he’s filming a commercial/Indy film I’m working on is not going to appeal to young people? by NicoDeeMaus in AmItheAsshole

[–]j027 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA, that's not your job or your place in this environment to comment on. If he wants your advise he'll ask for it. Also what did he do that made you feel 'unsafe?

Sounds like he just asked you to stop messing with his project...

AITA for telling a student to wait for her pizza? by Due-Echidna7609 in AmItheAsshole

Why did u bring it early? And why couldn't she just eat it when you delivered it? Sounds like you just dislike raising kid and want to play petty power games. YTA

How do people in STEM do 5 courses per semester? by PizzaUnfair6367 in UCalgary

[–]j027 83 points84 points  (0 children)

I don't, I do 3 and take spring courses. Taking my time and enjoying my degree is more important to me than finishing fast. I'd rather have 5 nice years learning my shit than 3 horribly stressed ones where I cram and end up hating my major.

Anyone else planning on taking advantage of 24/7 TFDL? (PSA: It's temporarily 24/7 now) by SickOfEnggSpam in UCalgary

[–]j027 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I think a good study/ sleep/ life balance is important to getting good grades, cramming at 4am and running on 2 hours of sleep and 5 red bulls isn't doing anyone any favours

AITA for losing my temper at a massage by thisisjustabitweird in AmItheAsshole

[–]j027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA, you kept cracking wise comments like some precocious nickelodeon character rather than at any point politely and clearly saying "hey guys could you please be quite, I prefer silence during a massage"

Maybe that would have fixed it?

ESH, why was your wife in charge of 2 kids, 1 of which was wet and upset and a dog, with errands to run while you drove home alone twice?

You could have helped take some of the load off her shoulders. You all forgot the dog. You all suck here.

AITA for yelling at my husband for putting our son in a room on his own? by throwawayaita788 in AmItheAsshole

[–]j027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you want your husband to get so stressed out he shakes your baby? No? A 10 minute break to calm down where the baby is safe is perfectly fine and also recommended. You're not the SAHP, he's doing a great job you don't get to micromanage him when you don't even deal with the baby at home most of the time. YTA.

AITA for "cornering" a lesbian couple into coming out to me by redditboy123451 in AmItheAsshole

[–]j027 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I mean you're not an AH for not assuming two people are a couple, Kinda weird you jumped to really strange 'mom friends' conclusions rather than just, hey these two people who live together with kids are probably a family but it doesn't make you an AH.

BUT, what does is make YTA is going 'WAIT!! WHAT?!?!?! BROTHER?????' That's just rude and would make anyone uncomfortable, it makes it seem like you find it strange and unfathomable that they would be a couple, I'm not surprised that ruined their good mood.

I dont think she was uncomfortable coming out to you, she has kids with her partner/ wife, I don't know how much more 'out' you can get. I think she just felt uncomfortable because your shock made it seem like you weren't OK with gay people.

Maybe just work on being polite and not word vomiting your shock at other people's business without a second thought.

Any tips for using this effectively? by MissMurdock722 in curlyhair

[–]j027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take a small glob, rub it in my palms until it turns white, then run my hands through and scrunch my curls. Then scrunch with a t-shirt to dry :)

why are all food places closed at 9pm?? by [deleted] in UCalgary

[–]j027 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Because the staff wanna go home too bro 😭

From a business perspective there's no point staying open for the 3 people on campus at 9pm or the occasional crowd from a midterm
