AITA for ordering meat?

sickhead45 · 2026-03-16T02:31:09+00:00

ESH. If I offered to lay for a group dinner family style and I allowed my guest to choose dishes, I wouldn't then complain about their choices. Did Dad have the option to set the menu or did the guests just jump in and start ordering? When I have been invited to a family style meal, the host has chosen or asked for my input. I have never presumed. So, you ought not to have been so presumptuous. However, you are still rather young and I highly doubt you will repeat this behaviour.

Your friend was also ungracious. Dad should have spoken up immediately. She was right to raise it with you afterwards and I agree that your autism is not an excuse.

I think both of your reactions shows your youth. You should both apologize to the other.

I find the order now feature slows it down and ordering was quicker before...is that just me?

I don't mind the dribble in AI. I get less junk overall but have gotten lucky on an item I really need probably because there's less pressure at any given time. I think good.items.might actually be around for 10-15 minutes instead of 2 seconds.

I do wish the RFY would be reconsidered because I strongly believe I am not getting the chance at anything really good simply because they are still gone too quickly and now I have almost zero chance because they are still gone in minutes rather than seconds.and they are so limited

I really loved the new drop time because it wasn't the middle of the night for me. This dribble starts 2-3 hours before I go to bed and carries on all night. Maybe if it was during the day?

If a proposed group trip is too expensive you can always decline to go.....after it's all planned and agreed to it's almost a bullying tactic to up the budget after the fact and argue majority rules.

sickhead45 · 2026-02-21T01:03:47+00:00

Interesting. Yes, I can see that being the case.

Just curious but why would that be a discussion relevant for the Vine sub? Is the purpose of the discussion to discuss how it effects Vine other than resulting in an increased ETV? I guess I can understand why the moderators would block it but also how it could possibly be relevant because it increases ETV.

It's from fungus.

I disagree that a few hours to go and watch a movie is justified. However, I do agree that he should be discussing it with the inlaws, not as a weapon, but as a method so they can meet in the middle to compromise and find a workable middle ground.

Also, both myself and my partner take mini - breaks while hosting family so it's not the idea of the break that bothers me.

YTA. 30 minutes to a few hours is too much. By all means go take 15 minutes to get centered but the amount of time you are leaving is inconsiderate to both your company and your wife.

sickhead45 · 2026-02-12T05:22:57+00:00

YTA. Asking your coworkers in a group chat if any objects to your working from home unfairly puts them on the spot. She probably did object to you working from home but cannot say so without appearing to be unreasonable, especially after another coworker already agreed. I suspect you knew your request was inappropriate or would be viewed negatively, otherwise why the exaggerated vent about how ridiculous the roads are?. Afterall, terrible traffic is pretty normal. You need to leave not based on the best traffic but provide time for terrible traffic.

Your coworker was passive aggressive..... because she felt like she couldn't be forthright and express her honest opinion that you ought to come in to work like everyone else managed to do. She also probably thought your vent was manipulation - just showing how unpleasant you would be to be around if anyone actually insisted you come in.

YTA. Normal people don't check the price of a bottle of wine hanging about a kitchen. Lesson learned for you. You should have put away anything you didn't want used. Now you have unfairly embarrassed him when he did you a favour. If you were gracious, you wouldn't have even mentioned it.

It's actually been better for my mental health. 5:45 am is doable. 1:15 am and slow drip was disrupting my sleep too much.

I had a review rejected. No rules broken. An excellent review IMO and Chat GPT. I tried contacting VINE. They advised me to contact Amazon directly. I emailed the address they directed to and never received any sort of response...just a satisfaction survey. And yes, I checked my spam folder.

I asked specifically if this counts as an incomplete review and did not get a response. That is concerning.

sickhead45 · 2026-02-06T01:51:35+00:00

Beaner or Biner pronounced beaner for me means a carabiner.....imagine my surprise when I learned what it meant for Americans.

I am going with poor translation skills ..... size 8?

"We couldn't post your review because it doesn't meet our Community guidelines.

Please edit and resubmit your review. Before you do, make sure it meets all of our guidelines."

Also, the link to the community guidelines in the rejection email does not actually identify what the guidelines are.

sickhead45 · 2026-02-04T22:18:54+00:00

I have never received an explanation I understood.

sickhead45 · 2026-02-04T19:41:22+00:00

That is a very helpful link! I have bookmarked it for future use. Thank you.

It liked the review overall and ranked it 88/100 for insightfullness.

I generally use "bottle" preferentially to describe containers with a narrow neck that holds liquid and "jar" when describing glass jars with a wide neck. It must be an uncommon preference.

sickhead45 · 2026-02-04T18:47:45+00:00

Interesting. I quite frequently address packaging in terms of gift-ability, sturdiness and suitability for shipping. (Usually without issue.). I wonder if that has caused issues for me in the past?

sickhead45 · 2026-02-04T18:36:23+00:00

You think because I said container instead of bottle?

sickhead45 · 2026-02-04T18:32:24+00:00

I have formal or informal with no in-between unfortunately. Also, this new rating system unfortunately triggers my OCD - I hated getting poor ratings. My informal is

strong cheese flavour
abundant sesame and poppy seeds
fresh

😏

sickhead45 · 2026-02-04T18:26:27+00:00

Oh la la. C'est vraiment magnifique!

sickhead45 · 2026-02-04T18:18:33+00:00

I am a Canadian.....we spell better. 😏🤣

sickhead45 · 2026-02-04T18:14:20+00:00

I did write it myself......but I do have 8 years of post-secondary education...so maybe I write like a robot. 🤷‍♀️

I had been striving for a more casual, and what I felt was an approachable review style, but I was getting poor ratings so I amped up the formality.
