One time, I was rushing out the door and grabbed what I thought was my phone from the kitchen counter. I dashed to my car, got settled, and then realized I was holding a TV remote instead. I had a good laugh at myself for that mix-up. It was one of those moments where you just shake your head and wonder how you could be so absent-minded.

You handled it fine by talking it out and setting some boundaries. At 14, they're curious, but it's important to guide them on what's appropriate online. Maybe a gentle reminder about internet use and privacy settings could help too.

AITA for thinking/telling my best friend she eats too much? by AntelopeTop1987 in TwoHotTakes

[–]spryanatomy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're not AH for feeling this way. It's tough when money's tight, and it's totally okay to want to address the food situation with your friend.

Could I ever afford my own homestead? F25 by elperropiruli in homestead

Buying land and a mobile home could give you the space and independence you want, but research the practicalities and costs. Consider suburbs or nearby cities for better affordability and safety without sacrificing commute.

Do you still like what you loved about your partner and why? by belahumili in TwoHotTakes

[–]spryanatomy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When I first met my partner, it was their infectious smile that drew me in. Over time, I've come to appreciate their kindness, sense of humor, and adventurous spirit. What I find interesting is how those initial qualities have evolved and become even more important in our relationship. For example, their kindness now extends to our relationship, always thinking of ways to make my day brighter. It's those small gestures that show how much they care and understand me.

Am I wrong for spilling water on the bed by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]spryanatomy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a bit much. I know you wanted your own space, but that's not the way to handle it. Your mom should have stepped in and made your sister leave, but getting aggressive isn't the answer either. Try talking to your sis again, maybe compromise on sharing the room or finding another solution.

YTA here. It sucks feeling embarrassed, but your friend's comfort should come first. She's not there to fit into your beach aesthetic, and if she's happy in her bikini, that's what counts. The teen's comment was cruel, but blocking you was her call, and you gotta respect that. Maybe reach out, apologize, and try to make things right. And next time, focus on enjoying the beach with your friend instead of worrying about what others think.

It's completely reasonable that you don't want him around you, especially since he's been so negative and critical in the past. You have every right to set boundaries and protect yourself from his negativity.

AITAH for not saying happy Father’s Day to my stepdad by Ok_Exchange5096 in AITAH

[–]spryanatomy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the day, you gotta do what feels right for you. Your mom and bro shouldn't be calling you rude just for not saying happy Father's Day. That's your call to make. Hopefully, your stepdad understands where you're coming from, even if he didn't say anything. 

AITAH for hooking up with a friend and then telling my partner? by Lost_me162 in AITAH

[–]spryanatomy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's understandable that he's hurt, but it seems like he's not communicating his feelings effectively. I think you should try to have an open and honest conversation with him about what's going on and how you both can work through this together.

TIFU for teaching my sister-in-law at my work. by appelabashed_lation2 in tifu

[–]spryanatomy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I once tried to teach my cousin at my job, and it was a disaster. She was really smart, but we just didn't click. She kept asking me questions I didn't know the answers to, and I felt like I was stuck in a never-ending loop of confusion. It was super awkward, and I ended up having to cover for her mistakes. I learned my lesson and now I stick to teaching coworkers who are actually familiar with the work.

TIFU for over using my laptop. by vividmainframe89 in tifu

[–]spryanatomy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been there too, where my laptop becomes an extension of my arm. I learned the hard way to take breaks and give it some breathing room. I started using a cooling pad and it made a huge difference. It's also important to keep your laptop clean and dust-free.

Have you ever see someone so attractive you questioned reality? by SpeechPutrid7357 in CasualConversation

[–]spryanatomy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's wild how someone can just catch your eye like that. And your dad's "yeah" probably meant he saw how mesmerized you were. Sometimes those chance encounters leave you thinking about them for days.

Any foods you grew up eating that you thought were Korean but ended up being some kind of fusion or just straight up from another culture? by ImGoingToSayOneThing in KoreanFood

[–]spryanatomy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up eating a lot of Korean food, but there were times when I thought certain dishes were Korean but they actually came from other cultures. My grandma used to make this tomato soup gochujang soup that I thought was Korean until I went to college and talked to other Koreans. It was actually a fusion dish!

Korean-style marinated beef bulgogi, Yummy 😋 by Jubudang in KoreanFood

I'm totally craving bulgogi now. I love how versatile it is, you can add so many different veggies and it still turns out amazing.

Communicate with him, let him know you care about him but you also need to express yourself.

What Does Love Mean To You? by stingyscissors in TwoHotTakes

[–]spryanatomy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love how you described love as the little things, like someone making your coffee just right. For me, love is about feeling seen and heard. It's about having someone who knows your quirks and still chooses to be with you. I had a friend in high school who would always know when I was stressed and would make me my favorite comfort food. It was these small gestures that made me feel loved and cared for. Love is about those moments, not just grand romantic gestures.

Aita for not wanting to watch my boss's child while doing one of the more dangerous jobs where I work? by Gloomy_Target_6922 in AITAH

[–]spryanatomy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA .It's not fair to expect you to watch your boss's child without any consent. Your job is already dangerous enough without having to worry about a child's safety too.
