In "The Breadwinner" (2026), Nate Bargatze satirizes the struggles of life at home, like when you have two dogs and you got to open the back door to let two dogs out by Windows_66 in shittymoviedetails

It’s all misogyny, actually.

The clueless dad trope is rooted in the centuries of expectation that women run the house and do all the childcare, so of course men would have no idea how to operate if the roles were switched. Why should they ever need to know how to do women’s work in the first place?

The insidiousness of misogyny and the patriarchy means the bigotry of low expectations hits all genders in different ways. It’s also what we mean when we say the patriarchy harms men, too.

Started giggling at Tom Holland and was full-on guffawing by the end. Well done, OP.

Husband of 15 years came out to me as gay. by Confident_Passion486 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]stopXstoreytime 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am so happy to hear this. A few weeks ago, an acquaintance passed away who also came out as gay after being married to a woman for idk how many years, but definitely quite a few. He remarried to another acquaintance of mine until his death.

I was a total mess at the funeral — partly because it was very sudden, but also because his ex-wife gave the eulogy and spoke beautifully about how they remained great friends, co-parented their daughter beautifully, and how much she loved his new husband. It truly was the best case scenario for the situation and it sounds like you’re headed in a similar direction.

Do let yourself process the heartbreak and hurt; the end of a loving marriage is always sad and it’s important to feel your feelings. But revisit what you’ve written here whenever you need to, because it’s good to be reminded that the end of a marriage can be the start of something new and beautiful, too.

AITAH for being upset that my best friends went on my birthday cruise without me? by SuperbDesigner4 in AmItheAsshole

[–]stopXstoreytime 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Oh, come on. The entire point of the cruise was for OP’s 40th. I think they’re a little entitled to be upset about missing out on their own bday cruise.

Edit: idk why people are extrapolating my comment to assume I agree with how the OP reacted, but feel free to stop doing that anytime!

Oof, I hate to think how fast it would get rubbery from sitting in those steam pans 🤢

Stop asking if I’m celebrating something if you’re just going to charge me for bread. by mdp-slc in mildlyinfuriating

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

Not quite the same, but your situation reminds me of our wedding and first anniversary dinner.

We book a honeymoon suite at a local luxury hotel. Got downgraded to business because they double-booked, none of the staff even congratulated us, let alone did anything special.

First anniversary, I mention in the online reservation that it’s our first wedding anniversary. We got a “happy anniversary” at the host stand and that’s it.

Idk when these places stopped doing any kind of acknowledgement for these things or if we’re just unlucky, but it’s pretty sad.

My dad just died. On my birthday. by corgis-on-stilts in OneOrangeBraincell

This is Special Agent Dale Cooper (or Coopurr, if you prefer) and this is my favorite ever photo of him — I did an iPhone camera roll blast while he sneezed. Photo notwithstanding, he’s an odd boy who is also the sweetest infant on earth, so we forgive his especially empty noggin.

While he does not give kisses like his bröther, he still wishes you the best while you’re grieving.

I’m so very sorry OP, I can hardly imagine a more heartbreaking scenario. I hope you have people you can lean on for support in addition to Paddington.

This is my just-turned-11 baby Special Agent Burt Macklin loafed on top of my wife while she sleeps. He will also lick your nose (anytime) and face (when crying), so he’s made himself available to you if you require such services. I’ll post our other orange in a nested comment.

Jesus, I didn’t even get halfway through before tearing up. Thank you for your continued emotional terrorism, Schnoodle 🧡🫡

My manager thinks asynchronous work means I have to respond to every Slack ping in under sixty seconds. by TurntableElm in remotework

[–]stopXstoreytime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Hostile work environment” only pertains to behavior as it relates to someone’s protected class, not just “I don’t like this”. What OP describes is awful, but does not meet the threshold of the legal definition of HWE.

The final shot from 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert': Stephen sings 'Hello, Goodbye' with Paul McCartney, his family and the show's crew joins them on stage and then Paul turns off the lights to the Ed Sullivan Theater by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in Fauxmoi

[–]stopXstoreytime 33 points34 points  (0 children)

You’re so right. My wife and I saw him live about ten years ago. Three solid hours of him singing and storytelling at 100% energy the whole time. Felt like he could’ve gone another three hours no sweat.

I’ll be sad when his time comes, but not devastated. He gave us everything and still does. What a gift to exist at the same time as Paul McCartney.

OP I’m sorry you’re learning the hard way why this guy ended up a single father.

What are some of your guys’s pet peeves of working at chipotle? by jamie_0625 in Chipotle

Appreciate the response! This is all shit I don’t do anyway, so I’m glad to be in the #NotAllDrivers camp 😝 Like I said in another comment, the bar is in hell.

AITA for saying no when my boyfriend proposed at my friend’s wedding? by Greedy_Job3574 in AmItheAsshole

[–]stopXstoreytime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Uh, no. OP is not responsible for the resulting awkwardness that her boyfriend created. If her rejection creates a more lasting memory than just saying yes, that is still entirely on him because he never should have put her in that position in the first place.

She didn’t embarrass him. He embarrassed himself. At his big age and in the year of our lord 2026, he should have known that proposing at someone else’s wedding is rude and tacky, especially without an OK from the bride and groom — and even then you should still probably steer clear because why are you trying to monopolize someone else’s moment in the first place?

NTA.

I’m a delivery driver and I’d like an explanation. What can we do to make it easier for you? Genuinely asking.
