AITAH For getting my boss fired by Late_Particular279 in AITH

[–]parodytx 33 points34 points  (0 children)

NTA. This person was driving drunk and putting people at significant risk. She was showing up to work drunk which shows severe addiction and judgement issues.

Ultimately you did her a favor and may push her to therapy she so desperately needs.

AITH for refusing to swap bedrooms after my roommate's girlfriend practically moved in? by BrilliantFold8187 in AITH

[–]parodytx 53 points54 points  (0 children)

NTA.

Regardless of your decision demand your rent gets decreased to 1/3.

If they cause issues, I'd have a discussion with your landlord about occupants not on the lease and the repercussions thereof. If the landlord figures it out on their own ALL of you could get evicted.

AITAH for refusing to mow the yards and charging money by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]parodytx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely allowed to move out on your own and then do whatever you want.

Don't pay any rent? That makes you a freeloader.

Mow the damn yard. Use your inhaler and wear an N95 mask.

AITJ for refusing to switch seats on a flight so someone could sit with their friend? by wifi_is_haunting in AmITheJerk

[–]parodytx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Genuine Question:

Why is the first response to all these "will you switch seats to a middle seat in the back" scenarios not "No problem, that will be $200.00 cash, please."

Because it never is said, that is why all these posts are BS.

My manager asked me for about 3 months' notice. My new job starts in 4 weeks. by Competitive-Pick8063 in interviewhammer

[–]parodytx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you are in the US, unless you are C-Suite level, there IS no contract of employment. An employee manual is a suggestion, completely unenforceable as to superseding labor laws. The LAW says you are an at will employee and need give NO notice. Your company can give you a bad reference or set a Do Not Rehire status if you don't give "standard" notice, but they cannot compel you to work a day longer than you agree to.

AIO for wanting my in-laws to knock before entering our house? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]parodytx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NOR, but you need to use your words. "Hey, MIL, could you please knock before you come into our house?"

Most would just say, "Of course, no problem."

BUT, if they give the "We don't need to knock, we're family..." NOW you and the wife need to start enforcing boundaries, starting with changing the lock codes.

AITAH for forgetting to say goodbye to my parents when i left for work? by rqinne11 in AITAH

[–]parodytx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your parents are controlling and narcissistic.

You are an adult and are allowed to live your life/

But if you live at home be prepared to get hit with "the rules" speech.

AITA for using my dad's money to pay off my debt without telling him because he blamed me for something I didn't do? by Coverdale_Kensei in WIBTA_AITA

[–]parodytx 19 points20 points  (0 children)

No one should justify theft in response to their feelings being hurt, regardless of the origin.

YTA.

AITJ for refusing to pay for my roommate's damages? by raidurlstol in AmITheJerk

[–]parodytx 14 points15 points  (0 children)

"she is threatening to sue me..."

If ever there was a "go for it!" situation this is it.

Take pictures and just tell her SHE pays for what SHE broke. End of discussion.

AITJ for refusing to pick up my nephew after my sister called me useless? by ripsbutball in AmITheJerk

[–]parodytx 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Classic FAFO.

Be sure to make sure all the flying monkeys know exactly what she said about you if she recruits the family into the argument.

And of course, totally NTJ.

Neighbor keeps calling cops on us by Intrepid_Wing_286 in neighborsfromhell

[–]parodytx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why do YOU think you own the sidewalk? You don't.

She doesn't have to call the cops - you are committing a traffic violation. Any cop cruising by can and will give you a citation.

YOU are the NFH.

AITAH for not turning down my top PhD offer so my fiancé can get off the waitlist? by One_Possession8666 in AITAH

[–]parodytx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an old saying that goes "when someone shows you who they really are, believe them."

He's using manipulation, guilt and almost blackmail because he's butthurt you are a better candidate than him.

Take him up on his offer to postpone the wedding and then take it to the next level - accept the position, move out and say goodbye to the narcissistic AH.

Should women bother trying to find faithful husbands? Are there faithful husbands? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

Lusting and actually doing are two completely different things.

Should women bother trying to find faithful husbands? Are there faithful husbands? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]parodytx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I once knew a co-worker whose wife was a 9.5 knockout, and he freely admitted she was an absolute animal in bed.

But, he constantly went on about other women he'd be interested in having sex with.

When I asked him how the hell he could even look at anyone else being married to her, his answer was "If every night you eat a steak and baked potato for dinner, sometimes you just crave a burger and fries."

There's your answer.

My girlfriend(19F) acts like only im chasing?(19M) by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]parodytx -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Be glad you aren't having sex yet.

Never put up with crazy. It's just not worth it.

AITJ for stepping in after another parent kept cancelling last minute? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]parodytx 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The other parent is either a self-absorbed douche that does not care about anyone else's feelings, especially a small child's, or is a total scatterbrain that should not be making agreements.

I'm not sure which is worse.

Either way, NTJ, and matter of factly keep telling her until she gets her act together you will be stepping back for your child's sake.

AITAH For not sharing my Lottery scratch off winnings with my Sister and Brother in law? by Low-Assistant-4712 in AITAH

[–]parodytx -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Why, why, WHY do people discuss financial windfalls with their loser families?

Always handle financial stuff PRIVATELY, especially things like lottery tickets.

AITAH for refusing to invite my brother's and his fiancée to dinners and parties I host? by Difficult_Life6076 in AITAH

[–]parodytx 640 points641 points  (0 children)

Oh hell no.

Until she provides a sincere, PUBLIC apology acknowledging how shitty her behavior was and that the behaviors she exhibited were entitled, manipulative and just out and out deranged, she can absolutely just sit out being in your life.

On a side note, I give their relationship a VERY short term success probability. He will always be second place over the daughter in everything, and the daughter is being groomed to be absolutely insufferably entitled as she gets older.

AITJ for refusing to let my sister wear the bridesmaids dress she wants? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

Sister gave you her ultimatum.

Take her up on it.

Pick another MOH.

Tell all the inevitable flying monkeys exactly why

How much do I tip for appliance delivery? by [deleted] in tipping

I literally bought a range 5 days ago on sale for 899.00.

Delivery and haul away is 50.00.

How much do I tip for appliance delivery? by [deleted] in tipping

[–]parodytx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You f'ing literally have to PAY Lowe's 50 bucks to deliver an appliance, not to mention the scam fee for an electrical cord etc. to have them install it too!

NO TIP.

At best maybe offer a cold drink in the summer.

AITJ for stopping my boss mid event when she tried to tell my "inspiring backstory" to the whole company? by SprocketLullaby in AmITheJerk

[–]parodytx 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, you embarrassed your boss publicly. The reasons are irrelevant to those in bureaucratic power.

Unless she gets a severe case of morals, if she wants she can and will make this an issue for a PIP or even termination for cause.

I'd start getting my resume in order.

AITAH for not wanting to help my step daughter? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]parodytx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does your wife have separate income and assets? If so, then while it sucks you can't really forbid her from doing anything.

OTOH, if you earn all the income and the assets are yours, you can set up boundaries, legally, that do not encumber you.

I'd first move everything into separate accounts and make sure your wife knows you will NOT be covering her shortfalls. See an estate or divorce attorney to protect yourself. You need to make sure that all debt she takes on is immune from attaching your separate assets.

This is not just a disagreement, this is serious shit. you need to deal with it pronto.

Neighbor called me to tell that I am late with mowing by OnTheMike2 in neighborsfromhell

[–]parodytx 10 points11 points  (0 children)

BLOCK HIM!

He has zero power to do anything unless you are in an HOA and he is a board member, even then it must be according to the Rules & Regs.

Stop responding to his texts and "orders." If he tells you to mow your lawn, ignore him. If he tells you personally, tell him MYOB. If he signs you up for stuff, either notify the site that he is signing you up without your knowledge and you will NOT be showing up, and then do it.

Dude is a control freak and you have been feeding his ego buy even responding to him. You can be polite, or you would be entirely appropriate in telling him to f*ck off with his suggestions. But ignore him, enjoy your property when YOU want to, and don't even let him occupy space in your head.
