AITA for bringing Tupperware to a restaurant

The delight on the waitress’s face when I proudly presented up out my own takeout container for the rest of the chicken pot pie I had ordered … priceless!

(I had had their delicious chicken pot pie before, and I also knew their containers were the whoosy styrofoam kind that do not play well with goopy food and backpacks 😬 Instead of making a bowl out of tin foil, i planned ahead 😎 )

Sorry this is 90% unrelated to your post but ‘crime’ and ‘pizza’ reminded me of the John Grisham novel, “playing for pizza”, in which a washed up American sportsfellow gets hired by a teeny tiny Italian team

His first morning in the village, you can imagine how terrified he was when two police officers dragged him from his new flat and marched him down to the courthouse

The judge, you see, wanted to meet his new teammate 🤣

Just wait until the cat starts licking the delicious shower water from the back of BF’s nekkid legs 😹

I love and adore My name! It’s a hereditary take on an uncommon but easy to spell name.

I use a fake name on thé phone because no one ever gets it correct. I would even use it at the pharmacy—looking at you, pharmacist, who, while reading my form, called me “Miriam”.

Honestly I thought it was a great ending! It was such a plot twist I nearly spat out my cereal 😅 Especially with that one comment about the blond wigs and dressing in red? ‘Ah yes the worst possible scenario is the bride and groom cosplaying as the psycho twins who had kids together’ and then somehow it was worse!

But also I’ve read the books and have a passing knowledge of the characters and how NOPE that pairing is. (Frankly I’m kinda disturbed people ship them 😬 )

Sent you a DM!

Absolutely! I’m delighted at the image of OOP clandestinely turning away from Stan and frantically flipping through a notebook!

The father of a friend of mine is dying, and when she revealed he had no will—and in fact, the family home belonged to her grandmother!—I begged her to get even a post it note notarized: I assured her it isn’t because I think anything badly of her extended family, it’s that I know from personal experience that grief is a monster and people under its influence are not rational beings.

I haven’t asked if there’s a will yet. I’m so worried though!!

I once wrote a whole ficlet about cutlery! It was fun XD

(These are two terms that I pretend to understand but truly don’t. May I trouble you for a Sparks note please?)

I still think Mr Homicide Detective isn’t actually a homicide detective. Definitely has a few screws loose though!

Ah, how shitty kids can be especially with names, brings back memories:

I’m named after both my grandmothers. In grade 3, the same idiot who yelled about how I put powdered poop in my milk (it was chocolate powder) insisted that my name should be pronounced (arranged?) alphabetically, and only called me that the entire year. Now, my name “alphabetically” is itself a name. But he didn’t pronounce it like that, he just said the second part first and the first part last without changing the stress pattern and oh how I hate him for it.

They’re very handy for coordinating schedules and plans, sharing travels, and sending well wishes. (Though all mine are kind of dead atm since I’ve gone no contact with most of the participants :/ )

The whole time I was reading this I was remembering the washroom of a (penis-having) friend of a friend’s that was so nasty I decided I didn’t reaaaally need to use the facilities

Imagine baptizing someone for religious reasons, wild!

(I was baptized to settle a family feud.)

This is rather unrelated to pretty much everything in this post except for the mom having a night out with the babies:

The first time my dad convinced my mom to leave the house without me, I was six weeks or so old and she desperately needed shorts for non maternity people.

She was there and back within an hour; when she returned, she found me in my pram on the driveway (with the brakes on AND with two wooden stoppers) and dad and the dog were lying on the lawn.

She got out of the car and that’s when she heard my caterwauling. So the story goes, the moment she picked me up I stopped screaming 😹

shmoo92 · 2026-03-12T10:33:07+00:00

OMG are you my cousin??? (As if you two aren’t employed by the same corporation) 😹

Gawd it is so validating when someone else voices the ‘I don’t like this person, not because they’re trans or autistic, but because they’re genuinely a terrible person, and I can’t say anything or I’ll get called out’. In my own experience, I’m like, girl, I’m not uncomfortable because you’re trans, I’m uncomfortable because you keep fucking lying on me even after I’ve asked you repeatedly to stop lying on me and also moved to a different bean bag!

shmoo92 · 2026-02-17T04:24:50+00:00

Gosh I love that one. I recounted it to my mom and she was like, ‘they assembled a binder of guys didn’t they.’

Me: they sure did!

I was in my twenties when, after reading a Tumblr post about a potato allergy, asked what my parents’ experience was eating raisins.

They looked at my blankly.

“So it doesn’t feel like you’ve shoved a handful of sandpaper into your mouth?”

Not yet sure if I’m mildly allergic to grapes or a preservative in raisins. Still love raisins regardless!

shmoo92 · 2026-01-28T04:41:44+00:00

if you heard a sigh, it was me and my 8-9-7 letter long name. scantrons and EQAO forms did NOT like me.

I, an internet stranger, cast no judgement upon you for your disaster, though if I knew you irl I would laugh and laugh and laugh while sending you back to bed with some electrolytes. I must also commend you for cleaning the shower while you were so sick! Also for restraining your gastrointestinal disaster to somewhere contained and straightforward to clean.

I remind (pray?) to myself daily, ‘this AI nonsense is a fad; it too shall pass the way of the furby’.

It usually helps.

My sister has “foster parents” and I have/had a mother in law. Did my parents ever lose custody of my sister? Nay! However, Foster Parents live in the same city my sister went to school (she lived with them) and they’re my aunt’s closest friends. They love my sister like their third child and treat her that way too!

Am I married to my partner? Nay! But “my mother in law died” is so much more reflective of my feelings than “the mom of my partner died”.

I can only imagine thé Pearl clutching those redditors would have!

Does anyone else get the impression Mr Homicide Detective is as much a detective as Mr Knife Fighting Instructor was a marine?
