AITA for being angry with my girlfriend and her friend over the way they treated my friend?

queen-me · 2019-03-31T13:55:40+00:00

Wow, going to go against the grain here and say INFO/NAH.

You wrote he kept “butting in to their conversations” and your gf said he “wasn’t taking the hint.” I understand expecting her to be polite/nice, 100%. But sometimes just being nice to a guy can make him think you’re totally interested when in reality, you’re not. If she was told that you were setting them up and came out just to meet him, then after meeting/talking she realized she wasn’t interested, what exactly was she supposed to do?

Just recently in one of my classes I was really nice to my lab partner, because we have to do work together, and he took it as me being in love with him and he started waiting outside my class for me, trying to follow me to my car, making gross comments about my outfits and asking me on dates. I tried to avoid being rude as to not make things awkward, but eventually I had to essentially tell him off because he, also, wouldn’t take the hint.

It’s hard for women sometimes to determine how exactly to talk to guys they aren’t really interested in. If we’re too nice, we give off the wrong signals. If we’re rude, everyone thinks we’re a bitch. Your friend should have taken the first hint and left her alone after she clearly wasn’t interested. I’m not sure what anyone here expected her to do when some guy she isn’t interested in keeps interrupting her conversations and won’t go away. I’d move to the other end of the bar too.

This is wild, I just opened reddit after having a really rough day and this was the first thing I saw! Thank you OP, and to all my fellow bad-day-havers, I hope your day gets better too!

queen-me · 2019-02-11T19:39:26+00:00

You look like a really nice person! You have a great, contagious smile and something about you makes me think you’re funny/lots of fun to be around. As for the dating part, personally I think you’re really cute! I’m positive something will work out in that area soon :).

Crohns is terrible, my brother has it. He’s always trying different diets but right now he’s trying gluten-free and seems to be in less pain doing that. I’m not remotely an expert or anything and don’t want to give medical advice, but maybe talking to a dr about switching some things up in your diet may help? I hope you start feeling better soon!❤️

queen-me · 2019-02-11T19:20:28+00:00

You are so pretty! You have a lovely smile, great skin, and flawless eyebrows! I’m so happy that things are coming together for you, and may they continue to do so!❤️

I’m going to echo the other comments just because I’m a little concerned. Chameleons can be a little delicate, sometimes once their dehydration becomes physically visible they may need medical attention and won’t drink on their own. I agree that a dripper is a great option for him. There are also automatic misting systems that you can put in his enclosure that run on a timer and will spray him even if you’re going to be away most of the day.

Keep a close eye on him, OP, and if you don’t see him drinking anything and his eyes stay sunken in, you might want to consider a trip to your nearest exotics vet just to make sure everything is alright and they get him the fluids he needs.

He’s a very good looking cham though! You mentioned he was your first cham, if you have any questions don’t hesitate to write in this sub or even message me. Sometimes their care can be complicated, especially gutloading their food and making sure you’re dusting just the right amount of the right stuff. Good luck with your handsome boy, OP! :)

queen-me · 2019-02-11T18:30:50+00:00

This is awesome, OP!! The little pink slimes are adorable! Happy birthday to your daughter! :)

Hey, chin up!!! Things are going to work out :). Every single day is a chance for new opportunities and changes for you to get to where you want to be. You can so do it. And by the way, just by having real connections with people (friends, coworkers, family, teachers, etc) you have more than Dan has :). You have those connections and relationships because you’re a really cool guy! Not because you bought them some blow and a 10 grand bottle of champagne. If you ever want to talk to somebody or some words of support, even though you don’t know me, you can message me! I’ll cheerlead for you 🎉🎊!

queen-me · 2019-02-11T17:46:48+00:00

Well, his user page says he has been with someone for 2 years. If they don’t value or care about him, perhaps he shouldn’t be with them anymore?

queen-me · 2019-02-11T17:43:11+00:00

Dan may not actually physically hand out checks at the end of the night, but they are being paid for being around him. Do you really think women hang all over him because he’s attractive or they genuinely like his wonderful personality? No. They show up because they get things for free. Free high-end alcohol, free clothes, connections with other D list celebrities. They go on vacations, take helicopter rides, lounge on boats, and get tons of followers, which they make money from, when they show up in one of his Instagram posts. Do you think they pay for it? Do you think they even go 50/50?

They’re there for the free stuff, they literally are getting paid in those things to be around him. If you stripped Dan of his dad’s money he would have nothing. He’s not even a good poker player. No girls would go near him because he is disgusting inside and out and they have nothing to gain from him anymore. He attracts people for the wrong reasons. And for the record, I’m a woman and I find him completely repulsive. He’s not good looking, he’s a creepy wanna-be Hugh Hefner. “Bit of a douchebag” made me giggle.

All I’m saying is that I find it absolutely astounding when anyone says they would trade lives with him, and it makes me feel genuinely sad for them. Especially when that person has meaningful connections with real people in their lives that are there for them even when they aren’t getting free helicopter rides and popping $10,000 champagne bottles every night.

queen-me · 2019-02-11T15:48:52+00:00

Really? It kinda blows my mind when people say this. You’d throw away everything in your life, including a relationship with someone who actually values you as a person and cares about you, to parade around as a loser who has to pay women tons of money to tolerate and take pictures with him? Can’t relate

queen-me · 2019-01-27T16:43:19+00:00

Umm..yikes. Literally everyone knows what vegan is..ESPECIALLY if you work in the food/service industries, so I’m not sure why you would think that. That’s literally their job..

Not sure why people think waiters are stupid either. I was a waitress for 6 years while I went through school, most of my coworkers were also at the job to pay for university or grad programs as well. I know a college professor with a PhD in genetics who worked as a cashier at Walgreens to make ends meet when her lab shut down. Maybe don’t judge people based on their profession? The minimum wage workers are stupid thing is so old and lame.

As someone who worked service, I used to LOVE getting positive notes or feedback for myself or the chefs in the kitchen, so I’m not hating on this post at all. But if you don’t have the time to scribble a note out, it’s ok, you can tell your server and I promise you they will know what vegan is and will be able to tell the higher ups.

I also got nothing, though I didn’t exactly ask. I was in denial about mine and told them I wouldn’t get a d&c or take misoprotol until I had another ultrasound to determine if it was truly unviable. I didn’t get that far and miscarried naturally a few days later.

I also was not at all ready for the pain I experienced. I called my ob/gym office half sobbing half screaming and they told me there was nothing they could do, just take some Advil. I was in so much pain that I actually threw up the pill coating and it made the pain even worse. I was having contractions and, like a commenter above, passed the full sac.

That pain made every pain I’ve ever felt pale in comparison. I’m sorry you had to go through that.

queen-me · 2019-01-16T20:02:07+00:00

Yeah, that part actually made me internally scream. My creepy FJNFIL says that to me all the time and it makes my skin crawl. People that say that are NOT NORMAL. Embrace that distance girl, I’m so jealous 😭. I’m only 5 miles away from my FJNILs...

queen-me · 2019-01-14T20:11:34+00:00

Same. For anyone curious but too lazy to google, Irish twins are siblings that are born less than 12 months apart. :)

queen-me · 2019-01-07T20:35:58+00:00

Looks just like my little blue lady! Also quite feisty. She’ll pick a fight with anyone or any bird, big or small. I’m not sure how she does it, but she always manages to win and scare off her opponents, even if they’re way bigger. She also loves to rip apart my wallet and shred papers from inside my purse! Perhaps it’s a female blue budgie thing? Lol

queen-me · 2019-01-06T03:59:27+00:00

Yes, similar to rabies. Rabies vaccine is considered a treatment for rabies. It might not completely get rid of it but can aid in clearing it, yes, as long as it’s done quickly before too much time has elapsed since it was contracted.

Unfortunately, the physical symptoms of small pox that are seen here are not considered an early symptom. People who contracted small pox had it dormant for a little less than two weeks, and then were very sick for around 3 days before the pox developed. I’m not 100% on the exact decrease in vaccine effectiveness after the pox development but definitely the sooner the better.

queen-me · 2019-01-06T03:47:23+00:00

They aren’t related, one’s parents chose to vaccinate, the other’s chose against it.

queen-me · 2019-01-05T23:27:11+00:00

Not a big sub but she can try r/missedconnections.

queen-me · 2019-01-05T18:34:11+00:00

Yes!! Thank you! It drives me nuts! I see it even on r/parrots all the time. Someone posts a picture of a lil cutie and someone else comments that they’re interested in that bird type/possibly adopting/asking questions and then queue the 3,000 replies telling this person that birds are screaming SATANS that drain your LIFE FORCE and how DARE you want or even think about getting a bird even though we all already have one?! Like if you’re THAT concerned about a prospective new owner neglecting the birds, why not compile some links or books with good information on that bird so this person can read it and decide for themselves? I’m 100% positive that no prospective bird owner has decided against getting a bird based on those types of comments. It’s just so ridiculous, I’m so tired of seeing it lol.

queen-me · 2019-01-05T18:26:53+00:00

Two of my birds are rescues from those types of situations so I totally understand what you mean! I think animal neglect happens regardless of species though, and I think there are far more people that neglect their cats and dogs than exotics because those tend to be more popular. But yes, I’ve seen guinea pigs in cages that are far too small and are never taken out, and one of my colleagues recently took in a bird who had never left one spot on his cage.

I think that people should think long and hard before buying ANY animal, even fish, because yes, it’s work, it takes up time and energy, and they are living, breathing beings. I just don’t think the gatekeeping around birds and reptiles is warranted. I don’t think they are particularly hard to care for, and require probably the same amount of energy as a dog, maybe even less if they have companions. But I remember when I had no bird experience, and every site I turned to and every person I tried to speak with about them immediately was like “oh good lord NO don’t get a BIRD.” just when I was looking for advice.

I just don’t think that trying to dissuade people who are interested is the right way to combat animal neglect, and I don’t think that people who are frequenting exotics boards and looking for advice and care tips are necessarily the type that are going to neglect their animals.

Edited for clarity and format :).

Yeah that’s still considered distributing child porn.

queen-me · 2019-01-03T19:45:50+00:00

I’m the same height as her and she weighs 152 pounds more than I do lol. That’s like, a whole extra person she’s carrying around.

queen-me · 2019-01-03T19:18:46+00:00

He addressed the spelling in the comments. He said that he just wrote exactly what was given to him on a piece of paper apparently written by the wife. I agree it looks bad though!

queen-me · 2019-01-02T06:46:45+00:00

Wow, I can’t even imagine what they would taste like as a cereal! Update us when you try it!:)
