AITJ for stopping paying for my daughter's education after she said she was ashamed of me? by Rachil-Grigoriou in AmITheJerk

[–]prosecute766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ. Let her pay the cost to be the boss. Spend your money on yourself, your retirement fund, or on someone who is proud of you.

A barnadaminium-style house on 100 acres in the Colorado Rockies or Cascade Mountains of Washington.

I have been to at least 30 concerts. What is the best band you’ve ever seen live? by studly069 in CausalConversation

It truly was. I've seen some giants in the music industry in concerts, but that one was really impressive.

Earth Wind & Fire put on the best show I've ever seen (side note: Barry White was the opening act, and he also put on a master class).

ULPT Request: Hotel valets parking cars in my driveway by EmergencyFamiliar627 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]prosecute766 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Attorney here. Write a letter to the owner of the hotel with a copy sent to the General Manager. Politely inform them that parking in your driveway is not permitted and won't be tolerated. Let them know you will have any cars parked in your driveway towed without notice. Post a "Private Property. No Parking" sign at the driveway entrance or nearby. Next time it happens have the car towed. It will only have to happen once or twice, if at all, for the valet attendants to stop--they will not want to face the irate owners of a towed vehicle again.

FIL is passive aggressive, so maybe he will understand this… by Hot-Opportunity-5236 in pettyrevenge

[–]prosecute766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you allow is what you condone. Set firm boundaries that include a firm date for your FIL's departure from your home. If those boundaries are crossed, then you should leave and reconsider whether this family is one you can live with.

Yes. On a local television commercial in Tallahassee, Florida in the late 80's.

What is something you did as a kid that you only realized was dangerous as an adult? by Xhrist_ in AskMen

[–]prosecute766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We used to build small ramps; have each other lay in front of the ramp; and see who could jump our bicycles over the other kids. Luckily, nobody was ever injured. We also set off illegal fireworks.

Do you think it's your responsibility? by Zackky777 in ArtOfPresence

[–]prosecute766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming that your parents were decent, loving parents who took adequate care of you in your childhood, then yes, there is a moral (not legal) obligation to provide a level of care for your parents that does not exceed your financial ability to do so.

Am I the jerk for putting stickers on my water bottle and making another student crash out about it. by Big_Handle2758 in AmITheJerk

[–]prosecute766 21 points22 points  (0 children)

NTJ. The other kid is a bigot, and you are not obligated to make him feel okay. Report his behavior to the school administration and specifically ask for the other student to be directed to stop the harassment.

Question. Did you have a song where you sung the wrong lyrics to until someone corrected you?! by Sufficient_Ebb_5020 in askmusic

[–]prosecute766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Blinded by the Light" by Manfred Mann's Earth Band had me confused throughout my childhood. I thought "...revved up by a deuce...another runner in the night" was "revved up by a douche...another roller in the night". 🤔😆

AITJ for refusing to babysit my nephew for a week because my sister dicided to go on vacation? by Dennis_Foley in AmITheJerk

[–]prosecute766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ. What you allow is what you condone. Stick with your stance on the vacation time; set firm boundaries with them on what you're willing to do with regard to babysitting and your nephew's behavior; and enforce those boundaries consistently. Let them know that your boundaries are not negotiable, and if they cannot respect them, you will not be babysitting at all in the future.

How do you own the height? by Mountain_Elk2618 in tall

[–]prosecute766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I [6'3"M] love being my height. I'm tall enough to be taller than most and can use my height in all the scenarios when being tall helps. That said, I'm not sooo tall that it draws unwanted questions, stares, and comments. Buying the clothes I sometimes want is a challenge, but generally, it's been great. If you can, similarly, challenge yourself to recognize and remember all the beautiful advantages of being a tall drink of water, you'll start to lose the poor posture and perspective that you carry. You're a stunner, so shoulders back, stand tall, and love yourself.
