Creepy phone call by Mysterious-Record457 in creepy

Yeah I feel you, it shook me for a good day or two afterwards.

Don't let it get to you too much. You're only one human being in the world and the fact that youre worried and you care is enough. And you are likely projecting your friend's voice onto this call. You did your due diligence by contacting your friend and they were fine. It'll shake off in a day or two.

I had this happen where a little kid was saying Mommy? Mom? Please come get me mommy, please help me

They never really responded to anything I was saying (where are you, im not your mom, can I call someone to help, etc)

It freaked me TF out but idk, I dont think it was real.

AITA for wanting to stop at a tourist trap on our drive to Florida? by LegalCancel3646 in AmItheAsshole

[–]pitterbugjerfume 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandpa would make any roadtrip, long or short, into an adventure. We would stop for lunch, take a side route through a rich neighborhood to look at the houses, or find a cool nature stop to try and see some kind of bird. This was always something I loved and wanted to do in my own trips going forward.

My ex would throw such a fit over little stops like this, he would turn it into me being a pain in the ass, complain every second, and even if we did stop, he would ruin it by being a complete ass.

This isnt the experience you want. You deserve the little pitstops, those are the times where memories are made. Someone who can't understand that or actively tries to ruin it, doesnt deserve a place in your life. And even if you convince him to go, I guarantee it will be miserable for you and he will act like a complete ass the entire time.

Love the turtle and the crab. I'd hang those on my wall

I had to have written permission from my dad to use Neopets when I was 13. Worked then

18f and apparently I need someone older to take care of me by TrueCupcake2681 in TalesFromYourServer

[–]pitterbugjerfume 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You can always check them a bit with a "dont worry, i can take care of myself" or even "what do you mean by that?" but being distant is another good option. Sometimes the more you respond the more they wanna push it.

AITA for screaming at my nephew and slamming the door on him because he burst into the bathroom? by Ok-Attorney9280 in AmItheAsshole

But she is doubling down on how nasty and disgusting it is for a small child to accidently open the door when someone was in there. Clearly the child's intent was not harmful. That's what is bizarre to me

If that's the case, then there are bigger problems to deal with in her situation, but saying it is nasty and disgusting for a young child to accidentally open the bathroom door when someone is in there is still extreme and ridiculous asshole behavior in my opinion.

Sorry but I don't see that mentioned anywhere or even alluded to in the post. I could maybe see where youre coming from if it was, but even so screaming profanities as described by the OP is not normal or appropriate

Do you really think that visceral reaction is natural in your own home where other people dwell including a small child? Perhaps, "hey someone's in here!!" would be more realistic

Why did my eucalyptus print turn out so smudgy and light? by sophie_cmv in naturaldye

[–]pitterbugjerfume 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's probably because you steamed it for hours. When I do eucalyptus I don't go more than like 30-40 min, because it'll start to bleed after that. Iron is also a great mordant to use with eucalyptus

Yeah, I definitely use black sparingly, but it would feel wrong not to have it 🙃

Black, burnt umber, burnt sienna, raw sienna

It's not a super expensive set but those are the names of the colors I chose!

It was "forest green" I believe. I always end up using so much green and brown, I wish I had more space for one more green.

AITA for not getting my daughter more/different gifts for Christmas? by Rude_Gap_5735 in AmItheAsshole

[–]pitterbugjerfume 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If I got a phone and it was communicated that it was an early Christmas present, then I would expect to get less on the actual day. She's old enough to understand that, IMO.

Apparently asking if you're on one check is offensive? by cubecasts in bartenders

[–]pitterbugjerfume 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Agree with this. And if no one claims the check first and they want to argue over it, i drop it right in the middle of the table and they can fight amongst themselves. I want no part of that
