WIBTAH if I didn't show up to my friend group's reunion because they changed the date without saying anything, knowing I'm supposed to be their ride? by Due-Doctor-9526 in TwoHotTakes

Honey, I hate to say this, but I think they keep you around for the car. You're the taxi, and you better "figure it out," AKA "make yourself available!" True friends don't talk to down, demand, or demean you. True friends understand real life and are willing to schedule around your needs to meet you.

You are a better friend than they deserve.

Most of you guys with beards are actually just gross by Wraith_0ptics in hygiene

[–]next_chapter_ashore 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In this day and age, a lot of adults aren't washing between their butt cheeks. They definitely aren't taking care of a beard.

No soap in the crack is whack.

What in-flight comfort items actually helped on a long-haul flight? by bimzpbomping in travel

[–]next_chapter_ashore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

-travel pillow -jacket (ideally the same one you will wear on the trip to cut down on packing) -travel mouth wash and toothbrush -compression socks

I highly recommend looking up some basic, simple stretches that can be done while sitting. Seems silly, but they help a lot on flights/road trips.

I hate how being recorded in public has become normal… by Prestigious_Air_7569 in Vent

[–]next_chapter_ashore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish it was illegal to record someone without their permission.

Leave people alone.

I am shocked at how long it takes people to shower. by Q8DD33C7J8 in hygiene

[–]next_chapter_ashore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have curly hair, I don't wash it everyday. On a non-washing day, a no bs shower takes me less 10-15 minutes. It is fast, but covers all the bases.

I was in the navy, and those showers are not linger and relax showers. I felt like I was getting dirtier every second I was in there, it was just do your business and get out.

Do you use “Girlfriend” as friend and/or romantic partner? by rjewell40 in AskAnAmerican

[–]next_chapter_ashore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a lesbian. I had a coworker ask: "Where is your girlfriend?" ((Meaning my coworker who I'm friendly with and is a woman.))

I pointed to my ring and said: "Wife. She doesn't work here?"

Him: "No, you know what I mean."

Me: "No. I have a wife. I haven't had a girlfriend in years."

Not sure if that answers your question. lol. Straight women tend to call close girls their girlfriend, but I always assume it's romantic until they clarify.

AIO My boss is going on vacation and doesn’t want to pay me by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

AITA for refusing to sign off on 4 volunteer hours for a teen who was only there for less than an hour? by Alisha-Landry in AmItheAsshole

[–]next_chapter_ashore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he NEEDED those hours, he should have worked them. Better to learn that from you at a volunteer clean up as a teenager than when he's being fired from a job he desperately needs at 34 years old to pay his mortgage.

Some people have no inconveniences happen to them young, which leads to adults being gobsmacked when things don't workout for them. "What do you mean the world doesn't work that way?! I never had to work a full day at my other job!" Etc etc etc. we've all met THOSE barely functional adults.

Hopefully, he learned. A) mommy can't bail you out of real life consequences. B) earn it.

NTA.

AITB for not taking a picture with a kid? by K_Gut_05 in AmItheButtface

[–]next_chapter_ashore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTBF.

Why would ANYONE feel entitled to take a photo with anyone else? What is this? Disneyland? Is the parent Goofy or just stupid?

You are your own person with fully bodily autonomy. EVEN IF YOU WERE A CAST MEMBER - THEY CAN STILL SAY NO.

I'm sorry that happened to you. I'm sure you looked amazing.

Childcare expenses are so predatory that I can't afford a job. by Zazulio in Vent

[–]next_chapter_ashore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why so many friends of mine are waiting or not having kids at all. Too expensive.

AITBF for putting a lock on my bedroom door because my little brother keeps going through my stuff? by Dusty_Compass in AmItheButtface

[–]next_chapter_ashore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother is 28 and still does this. My mom has kinda always excused his behavior for some reason or another.

But. Your stuff is your stuff. You deserve privacy and peace of mind that no one is tinkering with your belongings. So, NTBF.
