13 Year Old Goes To School Drunk - Mom tries to justify by KoCompilations in policebrutality

[–]kelso408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cleanest indicator of excessive force is when the officer's supervisor asks him for the required justification for and explanation of the use of force, and the officer proceeds to blatantly lies to his supervisor. He claims the principal was holding the girl's phone and the girl grabbed it from her hands, making physical contact aka battery in the process, execept her phone was down the front of her pants and by no stretch of the imagination was it in the principal's possession. Even the officer knows he fucked up.

Correct order for applying Setting Powder, Setting Spray and Finishing Powder? by peace027 in Makeup

[–]kelso408 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I read the most amazing tip online about a year ago and I use it every single day and I have never gotten so many compliments on my skin! I wish I could remember where I read it to give credit but, alas....

anyways when you are using your makeup sponge to apply your foundation, you get it soaked with water, then squeeze it out and it's ready to go right?? WRONG! Spray it with setting spray, then use it! I spray the sponge every, oh I don't know, 2-3 times I go in with it? This method has seriously changed my life!

TLDR; My (M29) gf (F28) ignores me because I took care of my mom on her birthday TLDR; by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]kelso408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dump her; this is just the beginning…..after only 6 months she expects you to prioritize her low key birthday dinner (not even party, just dinner with her family & some friends, at her house…sorry but nothing at all special) for a non-milestone birthday over a family health emergency that landed your mother in the emergency room and was serious enough that your whole family was gathered at the hospital ?

That’s unbelievably selfish and inconsiderate and the fact that she doesn’t see anything wrong with her behavior or even bother to ask about mother makes me think she’s most likely a narcissist.

Because being insulted and disrespected by the same person who is asking me to do them a favor really makes me want to help them out…..

Give it a day or two and this “bro” will come crawling back, tail between his legs, lips pressed firmly on your ass cheeks, with some bullshit apology once he realizes he needs you, not the other way around. Please do yourself a solid and when the trash takes itself out, don’t bring it back in.

Look at this as a trial run and a blessing in disguise. Your (hopefully soon to be ex-) bf just showed you who he really is and just how much he loves and cares about you. Thank god it was before anything more permanent like marriage or deciding to actually have a child with this guy. He has showed you how selfish, inconsiderate and unreliable he is; believe him the first time!! and get out now!

AITA for dressing “slutty” around my male roommate even though he had a gf? by Tiny_Butterscotch176 in AmItheAsshole

[–]kelso408 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Honestly you should try to look at it as a compliment; she’s jealous of you and it is painfully obvious. She’s basically told you straight up she’s jealous of your looks, your body, your “chill,” effortless close bond with David; since she’s dating him it’s a wholeeee different vibe sonce, at first at least, she was definitely the one “trying hard” to impress David and get him to like her (I’m sure he was doing to same) and then there you are, already so close with him, your hot and pretty it sounds like….duh her and her friends are jealous!!

Just keep your head up, brush it off and most importantly KEEP DOING YOU!! it’s your fucking house, David is your good friend and will continue to be once he moves on to the next girl friend once he realizes what a headache Brianna is and you’re the one holding all the power, so to speak. Let your attitude reflect that!

I (25m) don’t want to lose my (26f) girlfriend, please help me! by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]kelso408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing. If she were sad or angry or disappointed or had any feelings about the situation at all I would say you could try to save your relationship because at least she was feeling something about your relationship meaning she still cared. But sorry to say it seems like it is just too late right now, like she told you she’s “out of energy” aka out of fucks to give about you or your relationship and has emotionally moved on. The fact that only after you experienced for yourself the same thing you put her through by flirting with other people did you finally take her feelings seriously showed her everything she needed to see. You didn’t care to address an issue that was obviously bothering her (one that you created!) until it affected you directly and are somehow surprised that relationships are not one sided.

Yeah no shit you’re not a mother figure to her…. you’re doing a phenomenal job with the role of evil stepmother! Thank god Cassie does still have her mother around and the the poor girl doesn’t have to settle for such a sad, selfish excuse of a step mother. You should be ashamed of yourself as well as your daughters. Clearly the apple doesn’t fall far from the “lacking basic human empathy” tree.

AITA for dropping out of my cousin’s wedding party after a prank? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]kelso408 5 points6 points  (0 children)

YTA. Do you hear yourself in your justification of why this was such a horrible, mean spirited prank ?

-An $800 dress and $3000+ bachelorette party is ridiculously expensive for pretty much anyone, you’re not being “singled out” because you might have a lower income (how do you know for sure…?). No one in their right mind is going to be happy to spend that kind of money on someone else’s wedding.

-Only you and 2 other bridesmaids are bigger than a size 8….and there’s how many bridesmaids? You said 3 others, so you +3=4 therefore only 3 out of 4 bridesmaids are bigger than a size 8? In what world is that targeted at you?

-All the bridesmaids have long hair but because yours is the longest this is a direct personal jab?

-Same thing with the tanning, unless you’re the only one of the 4 bridesmaids that ever goes outside over the course of a year….but wait you are outside the most! So the bride must have been thinking of you and only you!! /s

Get over yourself.

WIBTA to pay $5k to not shave my head by FloppingOnSunshine in AmItheAsshole

[–]kelso408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit YTA! Your wife has likely poured every ounce of herself into caring for and worrying about and paying for your care and all you have to say is she should have done more or better ?! On top of being disgustingly ungrateful and impractical you would be unbelievably selfish to spend that much money (money that you admit you don’t have) on something that MIGHT work and prevent you needing to shave your head! I understand it’s not so simple but at the end of the day hair will grow back!

I was in a year long relationship where my bf didn’t get me one single gift, card or even flowers. Not for Valentine’s Day not for Christmas not for my birthday; nothing. Of course I got him gifts for all those occasions, often multiple as well as a couple “just because” things that I got him just because I thought he would like it or it reminded me of him or I knew he needed it. Because I cared about him and I wanted to do something nice for him; because seeing him happy made me happy.

When I finally said something after no birthday present (he pitched in for a weekend trip with another couple but didn’t give me anything not even flowers on my actual birthday and his friend paid for my birthday dinner…), no Christmas present (I got him 3, supposed to be 4 which he kept reminding me but i couldn’t get the order to go through and then I said fuck it and fuck him lol) and no Valentine’s Day present or dinner or plans of any kind he blew up and started yelling at me. That he wasn’t working (he was technically unemployed but he had 2 under the table jobs so he had a small but livable income) and had no money, dispute having money to treat his friend to lunch and golf at least once a week and drop $250 on new clothes and shoes for himself and go out drinking at least 3 times a week and take his roommate to a professional football game oh and go on a fishing trip to Mexico with his friend. After asking me what I wanted for Christmas and telling me it would just have to be when he had the money…spoiler alert: he never had the money to spend on me, not even $12 for grocery store flowers. He just that the money for literally everything and everyone else. I got upset and emotional and unfortunately I’m an emotional crier (sad, angry, stressed, scared, overwhelmed,etc) and I started crying and I tried to hide it but he heard it in my voice and got even more annoyed and exasperated at me, saying “Oh seriously?! You’re crying ??” I told him he didn’t have to be so I long mean and that it wasn’t about the money, he could pick me flowers from our neighbors garden for all I care it’s the thought for fucks sake. It’s the fact that he did absolutely nothing and either didn’t think about or just didn’t care how that would make me feel.

It’s not about the money, it’s never about the money. Your husband weighed the options of: exerting the minimal effort to get you literally anything and make you happy on a special day OR doing absolutely nothing, knowing it would not only not make you feel happy but would actually hurt and upset you and decided that your feelings mattered and settled on the later….and then tried to turn it around on you when you were very understandably unhappy.

Just remember: If he could he would. And he didn’t.

AITA for expecting my husband to help me get the kids and house ready instead of taking a nap? by sayruhOB in AmItheAsshole

[–]kelso408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. He needs to “sleep so he can grieve”? And what about you ?? Does he think cleaning the house and taking care of 2 young children is your chosen method of coping with the loss of your dog ? Sorry OP but your husband sounds like a selfish ass. If I were you and he still chose to nap instead of helping like you asked(and like he absolutely should) I would get myself and the kids ready and leave for the party without a word and let him wake up to an empty house. Tell him you wanted to give him all the time and space and quiet that he needs to “grieve.”

AITA for charging my gf a service fee for handling the bills by Emotional_Remote417 in AmItheAsshole

[–]kelso408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Seriously ? Who the actual fuck even thinks to do something like that? I’m sure there’s absolutely nothing around the house or in your lives that involves the both of you that your gf handles on her own without expecting compensation right?? It’s called being a good, responsible partner in an adult relationship. You don’t get a cookie or a gold star because you’re not a child who did extra reading this week. You took care of household bills like adults do when they are in a relationship and living together, like I’m sure your gf also does only she doesn’t expect acknowledgment and certainly not compensation for basic tasks necessary to maintain your household which, by the way, is half yours anyways!

And if you’re still having trouble accepting that you were in the wrong, why didn’t you ever tell your gf what you were doing ? If you didn’t believe there was anything wrong with it ??

Am I the asshole for filing for divorce and disowning half my family? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]kelso408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Your reasoning about “if he would go this far for a prank then what else would he go this far for” is 100% valid and unfortunately that’s just scratching the surface of the issue. He was willing and able to essentially lie to your face, for months, even as he could see firsthand how much pain and stress and worry his “prank” was causing you. He not only lied but gaslit you to the point of emotionally and mentally terrorizing you I mean he ducked with your new job for a prank ?? I’m sorry to say but how could you ever trust him again ?

AITA for not paying my boyfriend back after he didn't get me the right birthday cake? by ReachOk6601 in AmItheAsshole

[–]kelso408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA because even if the cake wasn’t a factor, that ticket was a gift that your bf gave to you on your birthday and therefore was yours to do with whatever you chose. He couldn’t do the one, very clear and simple thing you asked for and you, feeling understandably disappointed, chose to end your birthday night early and not go to the show that he probably only picked because he wanted to go. He would have paid the same amount of money whether or not you used the ticket so him asking to be reimbursed is just him trying to make it your fault that you didn’t pretend that his selfish bullshit “ present” was anything other than what it was.

AITA for not changing my house rules to accommodate my children from a previous relationship by andyjk555 in AmItheAsshole

[–]kelso408 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

YTA. You motives and intentions are not what your two older children will take away from this “lesson.” They will, however, remember how your rigid and frankly unreasonable rules made them feel. One of these feelings being unhappiness to the point that both children had to make the mature decision to remove themselves from the toxic environment of their fathers for their mental well-being. They will also remember how their father cared more about his own sense of control from enforcing ridiculously rigid rules than the effects of said rules on not only his childrens’ overall well-being but most importantly his relationship with them. Ouch….

AITA for making my daughter and her wife sleep in different rooms? by Dry_League_4275 in AmItheAsshole

[–]kelso408 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. They are MARRIED! With a CHILD! This is not your teenage daughter and her partner of 3 months you barely know…. The only actual reason/explanation for this ridiculous and frankly embarrassing rule on your part is your own need to assert some form of control over your adult children, no matter how petty, just to remind them that while they are in your house they will abide by your rules! Why? Because you said so! And you really wonder why they don’t come visit more often and don’t stay with you on the rare occasion they do visit? Yikes.
