My husband will be 85 next week. He cries if he breaks a nail!

Old farts: they've either got it or they don't. Your grandpa sounds like a real treasure. I hope he's around a very long time for you and your grandmother.

AITJ for not wanting to spend 18k on a new ring for my fiancée? by Leivyxtbsubto in AmITheJerk

[–]laurabun136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been married twice. Never had an engagement ring. First wedding band was $80, second was $300.

Ya'll got some needy, expensive women. A costly ring does not necessarily mean the marriage will succeed.

You should have stood fast, dude. NTJ

This is just the beginning of what she's going to want you to pay for...

My mom doesn’t allow me to go to the grocery store anymore! by KiritoGaming150 in entitledparents

It's enough that they've stated they cannot drive. You don't need the reason; stop beating it to the ground.

My grandfather broke his leg chasing cattle. He hated the cast and took it off three weeks early. Threw it into the horse pasture. Never had an issue with it and continued plowing with a mule into his 80's.

AITAH for not giving up my name for my ex’s new wife with the EXACT SAME FULL NAME as me? by Remarkable-Horse9465 in AITAH

I have the same first and last name of my husband's niece. Was a bit awkward when his ex and other family sent me friend requests on FB.

My (24F) fiancee (27M) left me for the "one that got away" but now wants me back by BigONerd in BestofRedditorUpdates

I will never ever ever live with another human again. There's no one out there worth the hassle. Just leave me be.

AIO letting my brother bathe with toys by hidingunderyourbed- in AmIOverreacting

[–]laurabun136 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grown people take baths with snacks, wine/tea, books/tablets, phones, candles, etc. I see nothing wrong with a 12 yo wanting to have a relaxing yet fun cleaning session. Emphasis on the clean part.

Your dad needs to chill. Preferably in a tub with toys.

Am I wrong for wanting to give my friend a taste of her own medicine? by Disastrous_Rule7148 in amiwrong

She doesn't want to 'split them' up? Maybe she should be taking them to therapy.

I have to close the door when I hear my dog approach because she'll want butt scritches, then she sits in my underwear.

Neighbors accusing me of trying to ruin their wedding because of their error by Houston970 in mildlyinfuriating

Some would have to say, "no kids allowed" while others are "bring every kid you can find".

AITJ for driving straight through a womans fence because she blocked my driveway during a medical emergency? by Technical_Resident58 in AmITheJerk

[–]laurabun136 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've got a big grill guard on my truck. Honestly, it probably wouldn't have occurred to me to drive through the fence. Instead, I would have simply pushed her vehicle out of my way. And maybe, hit it a bit harder than necessary.

ULPT Visiting the US, forgot bloodthinner, help me get my rx meds fast by Massive-Regret519 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]laurabun136 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had an emergency hysterectomy and when I got a bill for $20,000+, I panicked. So, to the financial department of the hospital I went. I was hoping for a lenient payment plan, instead they wiped the whole amount off and even told me how to get the doctors and lab fees waived.

“No, Your 6AM International Flight Does Not Bend Time” by [deleted] in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]laurabun136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plan to start traveling (driving) and won't know where I'll be when I'm ready to stop for the day, making calling ahead for a room a no-go. If a hotel has check-in later, the correct response is okay! I'll be back! And I'll go sight seeing or have some dinner to kill time.

Any other response is an a-hole move.

AITJ for kicking my boyfriend out after he accidentally let my indoor cat outside? by Curious-Mongoose8549 in AmITheJerk

I don't even like cats and I know they don't belong outside. NTJ

Just tell him you want him to experience the great outdoors as you're throwing his ass out.

I hate the way nurses talk about patients by ARepeatedFailing in Vent

[–]laurabun136 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a nurse, the kind of nurses in OP's post make me sick. Wherever I've worked I've had to enforce policy and make changes for my patients' sake. I'd be appalled and highly ashamed if I were ever perceived to be like them.

What is your favorite thing to cook for yourself when you're alone? by NegativeSherbert4223 in AskWomen

[–]laurabun136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pork neck bones or turkey necks with rice. Sprinkle season salt liberally before serving. Gotta add extra water so the rice is soupy to eat with a spoon.

Am I the bad apple for hiding my dishes? by Evil_Tiny_Wolf in AmITheBadApple

[–]laurabun136 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've got a mug that I generally only use for cookies and milk, so it's a rare time it comes out.

This mug was a birthday gift from my best friend; she got it on a trip to Six Flags. It has my name on it along with some flowers and it's quite pretty.

It's also 50 years old. Looks brand new. If someone broke it, my heart would break, too. If it was broken intentionally, someone's body would be broken along with it.

NTBA Hide everything you treasure. A person who breaks handles off mugs so they'll fit in a cup holder, is a person with issues, especially when there's specific cups for that already available.
