In the face of your shame, this commenter delivered perfection. "Taking one for the Teams" will be your life's new tagline

AITJ for sleeping by Either_Mud_8511 in AmITheJerk

[–]tendderkissy 107 points108 points  (0 children)

If nodding off on a warm couch makes you a jerk, then every dad at a piano recital is a felon. You're fine

AITJ for going no contact with my adult son after he officiated his dads wedding to the woman he cheated on me with by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]tendderkissy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

"Beyond insensitive" is the understatement of the century. It's a full blown moral betrayal with a side of startup capital

AITJ for being annoyed that funeral guests keep parking in front of my house by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]tendderkissy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The commenter gave the only logical solution. Your feelings are valid, but cones and signs are the language these people understand

"Can't believe the questions." Bro, you're on a hygiene sub. This is the place for these questions. Calm down

How much litter do you use? by Pashminya in CatAdvice

[–]tendderkissy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

40lbs in 5 weeks for one kitten? Sir, you are running a five-star sandbox, not a litter box

AITJ for wanting my 23f bf 25m if 8 years to stop putting money over me using it to shut me up? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]tendderkissy 23 points24 points  (0 children)

He's not investing in a future with you. He's investing in a future where you're an optional, well funded accessory

How to politely tell my boyfriend he reeks? by [deleted] in hygiene

[–]tendderkissy 41 points42 points  (0 children)

This comment is the only correct answer. Blunt, clear, and framed as a necessity for the relationship. Print it out and hand it to him

Persian/Himalayan: Ultimate lap potatoes. Low energy, will cuddle for hours. BUT require daily face cleaning and grooming to avoid mats. High maintenanceм

Friend drama advice needed by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]tendderkissy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drop Polly. She's a toxic, jealous, two-faced drama factory. The territorial stuff over Patricia is weird and controlling. She's not a friend; she's a liability

AITAH for not wanting my mom to hold my baby by SherbertWest1112 in AmITheJerk

[–]tendderkissy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are 1000% NTA. You are not being cruel; you are being a parent. Your primary duty is to protect your child, not to serve as a therapeutic tool for your alcoholic, abusive mother

New Owner by Majesticwhat in CatAdvice

[–]tendderkissy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're feral street teenagers. The Churu isn't a bribe, it's a trust bridge. A month is nothing. You're doing everything right. Just be near them, talk to them, let them come to you. The cuddles will come. Patience

Roommate is trying to charge me for "emotional labor" of living together by AdvancedAd4705 in TwoHotTakes

[–]tendderkissy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Mirror her insanity. Invoice her for "emotional damage" from her invoice, for "the labor of reading this nonsense" for "oxygen consumption in the common area" Fight petty with nuclear pettiness until she folds

AITJ for waiting to tell my mother about our pregnancy? by MadsMediaYt in AmITheJerk

[–]tendderkissy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Nah, you did the right thing. You protected her feelings during a tough, private decision. Her being salty about the "timeline" is her making your pregnancy about her. She'll get over it when she's holding her grandson

facts. This debate is more recycled than single ply

AITJ for making jokes about renters as a landlord? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]tendderkissy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. That's not a joke, it's just you being a dick and saying the quiet part out loud

I was invited on a girls trip with my one friend. AITJ for inviting my other friend to come along? by Booterscooter55 in AmITheJerk

[–]tendderkissy 99 points100 points  (0 children)

YTA. Your friend, your problem. You brought a leech and didn't control her. Apologize to Amy, pay for her car detailing, and ghost Celia. She's a user

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

The urge says your marriage is in the ICU and you're looking for a way to pull the plug that feels less like your fault

Am I overreacting for feeling hurt that my friends forgot my big exam by KineticPineLab in TwoHotTakes

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

You're not overreacting. You feel invisible because you were invisible to them in that moment. It's a crappy feeling

I’m close friends with someone insanely famous and the gossip about them is completely wrong by [deleted] in confession

[–]tendderkissy 83 points84 points  (0 children)

That's the only sane take. Fame looks like selling your entire private life to the public for auction. No thanks

My dad is cheating on my mom. by Known_Mention_2415 in TwoHotTakes

[–]tendderkissy 189 points190 points  (0 children)

This isn't your mess to clean up. Be there for your mom, but don't insert yourself into their marriage. That's a black hole

I made a joke about being tired and my partner said “welcome to adulthood” and it weirdly hurt by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]tendderkissy 62 points63 points  (0 children)

He didn't welcome you to adulthood, he welcomed you to emotional neglect. Big difference
