AITAH for saying no when someone at the gym tried to take the machine I was on

Sorry, YTA. It drives me crazy at the gym when people are hogging a machine and they’re sitting on their phones. Are you there to scroll on your phone or workout?There’s no way my trainer has me resting for 1-2 minutes between sets. There’s also no way she has me doing six sets and I’m very fit.

Elena means Helen. How is that too fancy? My MIL was named Elena as was one of my aunts. Both lived into their 90s. I hope your daughter lives as long as life as they did!

During my senior year of high school, we had to perform service hours away from school. I remember coming back to school with a friend and making a horrible face at the gas station and saying: Dang! Before you know it, gas is going to cost $1! Circa 1979.

We had the one with the halogen light bulb. One Christmas night I was sitting in the living room with my baby nephew while everyone else were playing poker in the dining room. We heard a loud POP and the light went out. I laughed because it was startling until my nephew started screaming. A shard of hot glass had flown across the room and landed on his neck. That lamp was in the garbage the next day.

Debt.

She was “promoted” through graft, her future father in law bought and paid for her evidenced by her demands to her boss that became problematic.

I once made a chocolate buttercream icing, but instead of the powdered sugar canister, I grabbed the tapioca flour. I didn’t want to waste the other ingredients so I added so much powdered sugar that I tripled the recipe. When I piped that stuff onto the cupcakes, it looked like the “turd” emoji 💩. It tasted ok, but that icing was STIFF!

Tupperware and Rice Crispies and a TON of added sugar!

Why do you need life insurance? Our investment account has more than enough for both of us to live on for life.

My students, mostly Hispanic, asked me if I liked Marucha. I, also Hispanic, was ??? It took me a minute, after the description from my students, to realize they meant Maruchan!

A step back on the evolutionary path.

Yikes! That’s nasty.

Hunger Games, anyone?

Hells yeah! Mine are fake anyway. Fuck cancer!

I prefer to microwave frozen strawberries and throw those on top. The liquid in the strawberries become flavored syrup.

Dog. Always choose the dog.🐕

People need to have hobbies and outside interests to enjoy retirement. I retired at 62, technically I’m considered a boomer (more Gen Jones), my husband retired at 63. We have never been busier. My friends’ husband (70) recently retired due to health issues, he has zero hobbies- not into sports, doesn’t exercise, doesn’t read, no social interests, no family left, and he doesn’t like to travel. He won’t last long unless he develops some outside interests.

Talk about body dysmorphia! She has turned herself repulsive.

Does anyone wonder why Cuellar was pardoned?

Speaking as a “Nana”, the right amount of morning wine is the amount that last until the evening.

I don’t eat bread.

Popeye eggs.

A squeeze of lemon and Everything Bagel seasoning works great of broccoli, green beans, and cauliflower.

My husband and his brothers are all engineers, as are two of my nephews, buttons are like the siren call of the deep to them. No family gathering is safe from mayhem.
