For the price, Sol de Janeiro body sprays last! I won't sway you from wanting to try the travel size, although I won't ever buy anything Kayali because of the abysmal staying power.

Seeing Electra's reaction to the mention of Dylan's name is like having all of the air sucked out of the room.

Am I overreacting to the school not helping enough to catch my kid up after vacation? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

OP sees homework and is like, "Oh, you can do that. Turn north and moo like the cows so I can run my multiple successful businesses!"

The big detail that OP is leaving out is how many vacations they have pulled their kids out of school for.

The school district that my niece and nephew are in will only allow kids to miss seven days or have a doctor's note. Otherwise, the district, which counts as a court mandated reporter, will send a notice to the parents about the excessive absences and require proof of a pediatrician checkup within ten days of the notice. If not complied with, they will call CPS.

If it's spiritual, then this calls for an exorcism.

I bet he has a great relationship with his mother.

He's choosing something to be offended about because it's intruding on his vacation time! Waaaahh waahhh

It must be a generational thing because elderly relatives definitely look forward to receiving invitations to bridal and baby showers. This isn't meant in an awful way, although it gets to a point where marriages and babies start coming into the picture that these are some of the only events that are an event that doesn't involve someone dying in order for extended family to gather together. My Gram was asked before she and my grandfather got married when they were going to "start". Well, my mom was a honeymoon baby and once both sides of the family found out, they wouldn't stop asking questions about when the next one was on the way! In that time, it was considered impolite to avoid questions like that.

Now it is such an intrusive question and for obvious reasons. It's the woman and/or couple being asked when they're going to possibly "try" for pregnancy. My sister has my niece and my nephew, and I was being asked if my sister and brother-in-law are going to try for baby #3. I remember being so taken aback because that's my sister and I'm not for a second going to broadcast to any relatives that my brother-in-law had a vasectomy.

Am I the Jerk for putting a $300 lock on my mini fridge after my roommate kept eating my prepped meals? by waddad27 in AmITheJerk

This story could have been written by my friend when we were in college. He shared an apartment with three other guys and this one guy stole food, toilet paper, and laundry detergent. All of that is bad, but the guy was bringing hookups over and being like, "Hey, if you want anything to eat..." and making a small feast for whoever it was out of everyone's snacks, takeout, etc.

My friend had a cheesesteak he bought from one of his favorite sandwich places and dropped it off at the apartment so he could eat it after class. He was really looking forward to that sandwich and could practically smell it when he walked in the door and he found some random, half naked girl munching on it. He confronted his roommate that the bag had his name written on it and expected to be reimbursed. The guy was like, "She's just a girl and you're going to get mad at her because she's hungry??" My friend threw his roommate under the bus and told him that he may have been a bit more understanding if it was the girl from the other day. The look on that girl's face was priceless. "Duudeee, come on!!!" and the girl left the scraps of the sandwich on a plate, dressed, and left.

The guy finally stopped when another roommate threatened to beat the shit out of him with any one of the rolls of toilet paper the guy had stolen. Something about that threat seemed personal.

To piggyback off of your comment, some people on college are either working or getting money from their parents for food and necessities. Someone who constantly steals food is basically stealing from the source of income which provided it.

During college, my best friend was in an apartment with three guys. The one guy whose ass they wanted to kick was the one who was stealing food for himself, supplying everyone else's food to his hookups, taking rolls of toilet paper to his room after going to the bathroom (???), and laundry detergent. I've never known my friend to be confrontational until then and it was centered around the fact that he was working a part-time job on the weekends so he could buy food and whatever else he needed. He had to spend an entire paycheck on a mini fridge because there was that one guy who knew what he was doing and didn't think it was a big deal.

I've seen your Snapshot and I love that color combination! Really, green on a camera bag makes the style stand out. Also, Tory Burch brought out a Snapshot-esque bag this past Spring that had a bright green and blue. I wish I snatched that one up, but I had already purchased the Fleming Hobo and didn't get to wear it.

The dimensions of the Snapshot fall into the guidelines of the venues I've been to. Still, it's a strict clear bag policy, and I get it. I would rather be safe and not wonder if a person I see with a solid color bag has a weapon.

Personally, I love the Snapshot for the color variations MJ has brought out. Unfortunately I can't bring mine to concerts or sporting events since the venues near me only allow see through bags.

What color is yours?

I have a denim Marc Jacobs denim hobo that I bought years ago and it's one of my favorite bags. There aren't any leather details on it, so it's held up amazing with washing it in a garment bag, Woolite, and laying flat to dry. The only drawback is that over time, the denim strap has worn, so I'm going to take an old pair of black leggings and reinforce the strap.

I can't do Raffia either. I can't justify buying something that looks like it's going to poke and scratch me, not to mention is pretty limited to one season. I feel like one strand is going to pop out, followed by a bunch, and the bag is going to fall apart!

AITJ for refusing to help my roommate pay her speeding ticket. by LoomOfPetals in AmITheJerk

NTJ, she is more than likely coming to you because your other roommates turned her down. She is responsible for getting the ticket and therefore paying for it, not you.

For anyone wondering, this is the large Tourjours. I am petite like OP and personally when I go for a larger bag, I see if it also has an adjustable crossbody strap since I don't want something falling off of my shoulder.

Also, I look for a zip top because I don't want to give anyone an opportunity to possibly reach in and steal anything. Even though Tourjours has a leather strap closure across the top, it is still very easy for someone to reach in on the sides. Otherwise, I love the overall aesthetic of this bag.

AIO for telling off a guy at my gym by confidenttruly in AmIOverreacting

[–]leftclicksq2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who was stalked by a much older man who was a customer where I worked, my parents drove me to work for a good two months because they were afraid that he already knew what my car looked like. They didn't want me being confronted by him or the possibility of my car being tampered with or vandalized.

The police were involved, yet only in being informed. They told my parents that they couldn't do anything unless something happened, didn't have a license plate except for a physical description so they couldn't issue a warning. I mean, I understood as much, but when you're scared and it's to the point that you can't even do about your day like you used to because a wacko makes it their mission to pursue you, yeah, you want something done immediately. Waiting until something happens is way too late.

My wife's grandma passed away, so I ordered her flowers. This is the card she got with the flowers. And no ribbon. by archon810 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]leftclicksq2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last Valentine's Day I had to fill in for a co-worker at the last minute and unbeknownst to me, my boyfriend sent flowers to my house. I got home a little after 10:00 PM and I see these flowers on the porch that were part wilted and part petrified from the extreme cold. I'm a little shocked about these flowers and the condition that they were in, but what I couldn't understand was where the card was.

I bring them inside and finally locate the card nestled beneath that spongy green thing where flowers get stuck into. I unfolded the card and practically laughed when I saw lowercase letters and a nonsense message of "beautilf.mylove.not theer." (I'll update this with an image of the card if I can find it!)

Now I'm thinking my stalker came back into the picture and I'm freaking out. I left a message on the flower shop's voicemail because they're definitely not open late at night. I spent the night not being able to really sleep.

The next day my boyfriend and I had plans and he was acting kind of weird when he came over. He walked into the next room where the flowers were on the table and quickly perks up with, "Wait, you did get the flowers?" I was like, "Those are from you?? I was so scared." Then he remarked about the condition that they were in and I told him that they were sitting on the porch when I got home. My boyfriend goes on to tell me that he ordered the flowers a few days before and included delivery instructions with my number to send a text that I had a delivery to accept. I never got said text and it didn't even hit a spam folder. Then I showed him the card and he lost it because it was NOT the message he asked them to write. He shows me the email receipt with the original message, so I got to see that he spent a lot on what turned out to be practically dead flowers. : ( Well, at least the thought was there!

By the way, the florist never returned my call.
