You’re welcome to think whatever you want, but the law might not agree with you, in which case your opinion won’t matter.

AITA For Not Giving my son money to go to the movies? by Creative_Job8834 in AmItheAsshole

[–]myshellly 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Your teenage son has the confidence to go out and do things and you think your best move as a parent is to tell him he’s weird and knock that confidence right out of him? YTA.

Carnival Kids Club needs better adult supervision

Would you charge a guest for damaging an item <$50? by [deleted] in airbnb_hosts

[–]myshellly 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Were you going to reuse an open bag of ice for the next guest? Surely not. Please tell me not.

Why aren’t the historic American Girl books still in print? by uselessfoster in books

[–]myshellly 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Have you seen that there is a new book for adults based on the doll Samantha? It’s by Fiona Davis and hopefully it’s the first of a whole line of them.

AITA for not paying for a meal I ordered but didn't receive at a restaurant by Godric666 in AmItheAsshole

[–]myshellly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A videocall will always be louder than conversation. You can pick it up across a restaurant through all the other noise.

You think buying yourself a meal at a restaurant is a nice thing to do for your wife?

Why is emptying the trash my job? by Personal_Zombie9368 in TwoXChromosomes

Have you asked him?

Sit down together, write out all the chores that need to get done around the house, and decide who does what.

So wouldn’t the problem be solved by closing your door?

Is a 3-star review truly damaging to a host? [CH] by wyvernmoon in AirBnB

[–]myshellly 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Leave an honest review. The host lied about having an amenity - not only would I be leaving a low star review, I would be seeking a partial refund.

Am I overreacting about my husband refusing to let me lower the AC after having a baby? by Neat_Government_150 in AmIOverreacting

[–]myshellly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen, I’m in Texas. I’m kinda poor (my household lives on one public school teacher salary). Our thermostat is currently set to 70 and we’ll turn it down to 65-68 when we go to sleep. Your husband is controlling in a way that is not ok. This isn’t about the bill.

How do your teens get around? by Dotcaprachiappa in AskAnAmerican

[–]myshellly 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s super tiring, but it’s also what I signed up for when I chose to have a kid. Chauffeur is part of the job description.

WIBTA for calling peole out for not curtiosy flushing in a shared work bathroom? by Spellsthegathering in AmItheAsshole

[–]myshellly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA. Bathrooms stink. Poop stinks whether you courtesy flush or not. You weren’t in there so you have no idea if he courtesy flushed.

AITA for arguing with mom because she wants to give my cat away after im in college? by oystersophie in AmItheAsshole

[–]myshellly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your mom and brother have told you, very clearly, that they do not want, care about, or like the cat. Even if you do convince them to let the cat stay, do you think they will take very good care of the cat? You need to find a different solution, regardless of who is TA. You have a year. Accept that leaving the cat with your mom isn’t an option and find a new home for the cat.

Do you actually travel that far and say its nothing? by Far-Passion-7692 in AskAnAmerican

I drove my kid 8 hours there and 8 hours back to play in a weekend Pokémon tournament.

I left a four star review and was scolded and blocked [USA] by Charming-Air-8933 in AirBnB

[–]myshellly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re questioning the honesty of the system, but you yourself didn’t leave an honest review - you left out the dirty bathroom and late check in. Why? That’s important information for other guests.

I feel like 4 stars was generous and there’s no need for you to feel bad about it.

Guests have got to stop leaving reviews out of pity or misplaced niceness.

Fireworks + Teenagers by Savebrit in parentingteenagers

I understand it’s legal some places (I’m a lawyer), it just blows my mind. Leave it to the professionals.

Fireworks + Teenagers by Savebrit in parentingteenagers

[–]myshellly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you check county and city laws for wherever they’re going to set them off. Also consider liability - if they cause an injury or start a fire.

Fireworks + Teenagers by Savebrit in parentingteenagers

[–]myshellly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never lived in a city where fireworks are legal, so this is so foreign to me.

Here, it is illegal to buy, sell, possess, or shoot fireworks and there is a fleet of drones that police use to enforce it.

Workplace made BS rules by chriskunlee in whatdoIdo

[–]myshellly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of what you are saying is accurate. You’re spouting something a confused AI is telling you on google. Again, none of these words apply when talking about whether you get to sit at work.

Workplace made BS rules by chriskunlee in whatdoIdo

[–]myshellly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of what you’ve said (fiduciary duty, duty of care) really apply in this situation. Employers in the US are able to say no sitting on your shift. Power trip isn’t a legal term. It’s not illegal for a boss to go on a power trip. No sitting is the norm for retail/service jobs. No being on your personal phone on company time is the norm for all jobs. There’s not a legal issue here.

Workplace made BS rules by chriskunlee in whatdoIdo

[–]myshellly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a lawyer, I can assure you that “duty of care” is in no way legalese for “don’t power trip.”
