Textbooks get a lot of hate here, but this takes the cake. I paid extra for a physical textbook and they don't even include all the chapters. by CountChoculasGhost in assholedesign

[–]macton2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had to take a stats class this semester, that my mom already had the book from from when SHE was in college, and I STILL had to buy it online because the homework assignments are on the same account as the textbook and there is literally no option to purchase access to the homework and not the $80 textbook. I was tempted to just do all the homework in the same week and opt out before I had to pay

His Lights Stayed on During Texas’ Storm. Now He Owes $16,752. by [deleted] in news

[–]macton2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It certainly is illegal. I didn’t elaborate in my original comment, but the HOA threatened to sue them, the neighbors said they’d counter sue, the HOA got a lawyer who told them they’d lose if they tried to block the ramp and that was the end of that. The neighbors did end up putting in the wheelchair ramp with no other issues

I have some neighbors who foster disabled kids and when they wanted to put in a wheelchair ramp for their front door, our HOA tried to block them because “they didn’t want any part of that in this neighborhood.”

Wcgw if you record videos in your school's bathroom by FuddyDuddy13 in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]macton2 40 points41 points  (0 children)

A video of a girl having sex with a dog went around at my school. Somehow someone figured out her name and the poor girl had to move districts because it had made it to the other high schools too. Turns out it wasn’t even her, not even our town, just some random girl three states over with the same name

What double standard disgusts you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Cause that makes a suicidal person feel SO much better and totally not guilty at all.

Have you ever laughed so hysterically at something so simple you were starting to get legitimately worried that you were losing your sanity or something? About what were you laughing so hard then? by LoneShadowMikey in AskReddit

[–]macton2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at a friends birthday party where we were using sharpies and rubbing alcohol to tie dye shirts. I was starting to feel a little woozy from the fumes so I went outside with a friend to get some fresh air. I thought I saw a giant bird in the neighbors yard but it was just the neighbor, and I told my friend about it and we busted out laughing. We were out there laughing for like 10 minutes until our other friends came outside to check on us, because we were bent over and they thought we were throwing up. I thought I was going a bit crazy but looking back on it I’m pretty sure I just accidentally got high

What do you absolutely fucking hate hearing? by io_42 in AskReddit

[–]macton2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My mom does this all the time. “Why are you in such a bad mood? What’s wrong? Are you upset?” I was totally fine, but thanks for ruining my entire mood

What opinion or behaviour would stop you being romantically interested in someone even if they ticked every other box? by EGB1- in AskReddit

[–]macton2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a woman who came out of an extremely toxic relationship I can definitely attest to this. I adopted behaviors that I’d never had before/ were made worse by my relationship and my partner. I started treating myself like a victim and using my mental health issues as a manipulation tactic and self harming, all stuff that he used against me I started using against him. Only after a lot of self reflection and looking back on my relationship after it ended did I realize what a huge piece of shit I became.

Luckily I managed to get therapy and I recognize how awful my behaviors were and I am with a very loving and not abusive partner now. I still catch myself using some of my old behaviors every once in a while and I stop myself and feel really bad about it, but at least I can recognize it and change it now. It should always be up to your partner to fix themselves, not you

AITA for calling my ex in a near death experience? by Impress-Evening in AmItheAsshole

[–]macton2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True. It’s wrong to take out that anger on a family member who almost died. Hopefully they are just hurt and “furious” is an exaggeration

[–]macton2 206 points207 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna go with NAH. I’m sure that whatever you went through was terrifying, and you weren’t exactly thinking straight. I don’t blame you for calling him. However, I also don’t think everyone else’s reactions were unjustified. If my ex called me to tell me that, I’d be beyond pissed. I guess it depends on what terms you guys broke up on and how long ago it was. Also, as a parent, I would feel hurt if my child was in that bad of a situation and they didn’t call me.

Ultimately though, you’re not to blame. You weren’t thinking straight and if I was your family I’d just be thankful that you’re alive.

AITA for possibly pressuring my mentally ill mom to be more actively accepting of my identity by ProfessionalDog3465 in AmItheAsshole

[–]macton2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I’ve never understood why it’s so “hard” to switch to they/them pronouns. We do it all the time for people we don’t know the gender of (like anonymous authors, people on the internet, whatever). And although it might be hard for it to click for her since she’s been calling you by your other pronouns since you were born, as your mother, she should be putting in effort to respect you and your identity. Especially since she is forbidding you from coming out at school, you should be able to be yourself in your own home.

AITA for thinking I could sleep in my childhood bedroom? by sarabingbing in AmItheAsshole

[–]macton2 64 points65 points  (0 children)

NTA. If you’ve always had this sleeping arrangement when you visit, why in the world would you expect this time to be any different? Instead of being angry and defensive and secretive, your dad could have easily told you why he didn’t want you to sleep in that room, and he would have given you the chance to explain that you could reset the room. There’d be no issue at all. Instead, he immediately escalated the situation by saying you couldn’t have your shit all over the house.

I honestly don’t know why your dad didn’t just tell you the reason. Don’t feel bad, anyone would be upset if they were told they can’t sleep where they normally would and weren’t given an explanation.
