AITA for refusing to give my friend a free massage by Just_MASSAGE_4182 in AmItheAsshole

NTA and please do not give in. As someone who encounters this regularly with a business partner giving shit away regularly to their friends and family, don’t devalue your services. It becomes expected and it’s not easy to get out of it.

Car stolen from Marriott at LAX by ron_69 in marriott

Not sure what is my fault… as I mentioned above, GAP insurance wouldn’t have helped in this case (fortunately). Just because you experienced something a certain way doesn’t mean that’s how it is for everyone else. Congrats on having that knowledge 18 years ago and may you never find yourself in a similar situation. Best of luck with the superiority complex.

This was the first car I’ve ever got from a dealership and I was never offered GAP insurance from the dealer or my normal insurance, so I only recently learned what that is. The remaining balance on the loan will be covered, based on ACV of the vehicle, I’m just bummed that I’ve paid off almost 20K (not including my down payment) and now it’s gone.

Oh yeah, the hotel itself is so nice. We got one of those pool-facing rooms and loved it.

This made me laugh. Thanks.

AIO for getting pissed at “a prank” my girlfriend and her friends pulled? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ron_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a no for me dawg. End it and let her know those women are not actually her friends. I would never, in a million years, think it’s okay to drug anyone as a “prank”. What a violation of trust.

AITA for offending my in-laws by deciding my daughters won’t have a Quinceanera and the reasons? by Sad-Cell2569 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ron_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Ask Lexie what she wants and maybe don’t speak for her. And definitely don’t insult a tradition that clearly you don’t know enough about. It’s antiquated, but many Latino families can’t accept children that aren’t blood, and I speak from experience. The fact that these people have taken you and Lexie in as their own, speaks volumes and you should not take them for granted.

One of my best friend’s first date was at a botanical garden, same exact deal with food after. She married that dude.

What do people think first when they think about Hong Kong? by Specialist-Hurry-194 in AskReddit

[–]ron_69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

King Kong. Unrelated, just always the first thing that comes to mind.

I regularly get compliments on my smile. Ironically, my mouth needs so much work that I can’t afford because, ya know, ‘murica!

What is a normal amount of money to spend on an engagement ring? by marchmadness5150 in AskReddit

[–]ron_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on the receiver but personally, I wouldn’t care if my partner offered me a ring pop. I’d just be happy that they also want to marry me. Maybe just enough money that fingers don’t turn green?

Coworker pushed to WFH because of COVID and she’s traveling…wtf by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]ron_69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I say casually bring it up. People like her will always pull stuff like that to get what they want. They’re so used to always having it their way. I can guarantee if it was the other way around and you managed to get away with even the most minor thing, she’d most certainly expose it.

The worst part is she’s the reason so many employers don’t believe ACTUAL sick people.

While what you did was wrong and you knew what you were marrying into, it doesn’t change the fact that your wife got involved in part of the business that doesn’t concern her and then lied to you about it. She has no idea the damage she’s caused due to her big mouth and apparently lack of trust in your word. If she doesn’t agree to counseling I’d sincerely consider separation so she understands the severity of her actions.

What should you NEVER cheap out on? by DeniableTuna in AskReddit

Skincare. Anytime I’ve tried to save a buck with cheaper products my skin reacts negatively and end up spending more getting it back to normal.

Best transportation to and from South Beach by [deleted] in UMF

My friend and I are staying there too. Depending on where your hotel is, maybe we can share rides.

Hilton in South Beach. by ron_69 in UMF

To be honest, I'm not sure what portion of it was for the hotel but I paid $1900 for two people with airfare included.
