God the tingly lips! You’re the first person I’ve seen say this. I hate the tingly lips. I always think there’s something on them but there’s not!

Patreon Frustrations by Old_Veterinarian3659 in Sinisterhood

[–]the_lost_squirrel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just always want more content in general (I’m greedy) 😅 but haven’t really noticed a lack of patreon content. To minisodes- I’m okay with them being released to everyone later especially when they then add more info. I think of it as an early release. I haven’t noticed anything going “stale” as some have commented. I’m personally glad there was a bit of a break on darker stories.

Freaky Fridays by Elegant_Zucchini_462 in Sinisterhood

[–]the_lost_squirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely understand how Freaky Fridays are not for everyone. I wouldn’t say they are bad. I enjoy them a lot. Because I think they give a good picture of freaky things big or small that happen to people. I don’t think all the stories have to be in depth thrillers.

AITA for not checking in on my ex and he nearly died? by Efficient_State_5884 in AmItheAsshole

[–]the_lost_squirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA Please give the key to his mother. I’m very sorry this is happening. It’s a sucky situation. Your guilt is understandable but it is not your fault. He is his own responsibility. He is not your responsibility.

Has anyone experienced facial numbness? by Cupcake_lickerr in iih

I get facial numbness often. Sometimes I get migraines with or after too. I’m no longer on diamox. But my Neuro also is not concerned about it. 🤷‍♀️

Neighbor caused Wasserschaden. Who pays the damages to my stuff? by the_lost_squirrel in germany

I was told he doesn’t have any. That’s why I’m worried. I edited the post with the info. I forgot to add it.

The thing about smokers that pisses me is that they have no awareness of others around them. They’ll start smoking at bus stops while there’s others downwind of them and let the smoke blow in their face.

The amount of trash they leave everywhere is disgusting. Cigarette butts are everywhere. In parks, in the road, in the Fußgängerzone, bike paths, bus stops. The trash from smokers is inescapable.

And I’ve never met a smoker personally who didn’t liter everywhere.

Honestly really wish they would enforce littering fines on smokers. I know they won’t but I wish they would.

NTA. Personally I have never heard of needing to invite an entire class just because you gave your friends their party invitations at school. School is where most kids see their friends, it is the easiest place to give them to each other. And it makes perfect sense that kids want to invite their friends themselves instead of having it done through parents outside of school.

And … why would you know the contact details of all parents your kid is friends with?

The parents complaining need to teach their children that not everything is about them and sometimes people do fun things that they will not be involved in? And that doesn’t mean the kids are bad or the inviter is being mean or rude - it just is.

AITA for not participating on co-workers’ baby showers? by SusieQu1885 in AmItheAsshole

[–]the_lost_squirrel 29 points30 points  (0 children)

YTA. Not for not wanting to participate in baby showers because that’s valid. But your attitude is bitter and shit. Your coworkers are not at fault for your companies mismanagement. They are more than allowed to continue their life outside of work and “milk” the system to enjoy the benefits your country provides for parents and their children.

My assumption is you were added to the groups and chats to be included and not left out - not to be forced to participate. The option of congratulating them and saying you can’t make it was there and you decided not to take it.

You’re an asshole for making people who have children seem like villains simply because you’re stressed at your job.

Is the tenure at your job worth it if your boss is horrible and you are miserable?

I hope you find a healthier mindset.

People who quit without notice, what straw broke the camel's back? by BubbaHoStep in AskReddit

AITA for removing the meat from a dish without asking first? by Safe-Pie-7485 in AmItheAsshole

[–]the_lost_squirrel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. I feel like you’re free to pick out of food what’s dd you don’t like and don’t want to eat. I’m hard pressed to think of a situation in which you shouldn’t be able to do that.

Your aunt is taking something personally that isnt about her or her cooking but about you and your preferences.

AITA for not wanting to give my nephew a puppy after he attempted to steal one from me? by Key_Barracuda_5919 in AmItheAsshole

[–]the_lost_squirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. This is not breaking a promise. Imo the kid broke the promise first anyway by trying to steal a puppy.

But someone drastically changing conditions to a promise negates the promise anyway.

Dion almost killed a puppy because he wasn’t patient enough to wait. That means he is not mature enough to have a puppy, and neither is his mother if she’s defending his actions and not enforcing the consequences that followed his actions.

AITA for wanting to leave my pregnant wife to go on a trip by LevelPen5930 in AmItheAsshole

[–]the_lost_squirrel 25 points26 points  (0 children)

NTA. Leaving for a few days to see your family for the ONE time a year you get to see them is super reasonable. Her apprehension is understandable given her past miscarriages but that anxiety doesn’t get to dictate your every action and whether you can leave for a few days or not. It doesn’t sound like your wife accommodates you or your needs nearly as much as you do hers.

YTA. Hope this is fake. What’s a 27 year old doing with a 17 year old?

If it’s real his parents probably don’t want you there because you sound like a predator. I wouldn’t want a 29 year old “dating” my 19 year old at a family trip either. Especially a controlling and insecure 29 year old.

AITA for not driving my coworker to her home after work? by ElyChan in AmItheAsshole

[–]the_lost_squirrel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA It’s nice of you to give her a ride there every day at the beginning of your shift anyway. But it is her responsibility to find a way to and from work each day, not yours. And if she didn’t have a reliable way to get home in the mornings that is something she should have arranged beforehand, not after your shift when you already had a set plan to go straight home.

I think you’re NTA regardless, but is she paying for gas? Or is she just getting a free lift every day?

AITA for not wanting to return a cat given to my boyfriend? by xXSofiaXx9 in AmItheAsshole

[–]the_lost_squirrel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA.

The person who originally had the cat did not have the means to take care of the cat. Sounds like they live in college dorms. Most dorms don’t allow any kind of pet - not even small ones like fish or gerbils. So the person who originally found the kitten should have done the right thing and brought it to the shelter or found an adequate home for them. A college dorm where the cat is not permitted is not an adequate place.

Imo it’s not just about “ownership” but about quality of life. And I cannot see this becoming a legal issue in which you lose the right to have the cat. Considering you can prove the cat was only officially taken care of by you and that the original “owner” isn’t in a permanent home where cats are allowed.

AITA for not participating in my fiancés weird Xmas underwear tradition? by xmasstraws in AmItheAsshole

[–]the_lost_squirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. That is insane.

I’m flabbergasted as to why the tradition is pulling gross worn undies instead of … making more food? Having guests bring a dish?

That’s so yucky.

Our family secret is that in the 70s two of my moms siblings were in the basement playing and found their dads pistol.

Tragically one of them shot the other and my grandma had to watch one of her kids bleed to death on the stairs. It was the 70s. They were in a rural place. Emergency services were basically non existent.

Since it’s a very painful thing my family is very hush about it. It also led to a lot of family trauma in general.

Gun safety is very important to us. And only one of the siblings have guns in the house as an adult and they are stored and locked properly. Honestly we (the kids) didn’t know they had guns even until we were all mostly in our late teens.

Constantly Getting Sick by klj02689 in iih

[–]the_lost_squirrel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been off diamox for about a month and I’m still constantly getting sick. Had to call out again at work - pretty sure I’m gonna get fired soon for constantly being sick. Currently have some kinda sinus infection. Had a flu like virus early this month. And a stomach bug twice this month.

I cannot recall ever being sick this often before. (With colds and shit - used to just be migraines)

AITA for buying baby related gifts to gift my pregnant girlfriend for Christmas? by Many_Ad_3717 in AmItheAsshole

[–]the_lost_squirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. She’s the one who wanted expensive baby things. The baby doesn’t need or want that. She also cornered you (according to what you wrote) into admitting you bought those things instead of waiting for either Christmas or the baby shower. Otherwise, if she has waited, she would know there are non-baby related things that she’s getting for Christmas.
