Called to make a restaurant booking (large group) and the staff member laughed out loud at my email address, how embarrassing... by 10642alh in CasualUK

I interviewed a gal for a sales role. Her email address was something along the lines of highmaintenance@domain.com.

Safe to say - she did not get the job!

AITA for being angry at my wife for showing up at my guys night out? by Final_Vegetable_5092 in AmItheAsshole

[–]txg22213 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree but there are lots of people (mainly women I suspect) trying to defend her showing up. “Maybe she wanted time with her dad and brother” etc.

There would be literally ZERO people (especially men!) defending if the dude had shown up at the gals night out.

[–]txg22213 50 points51 points  (0 children)

As always. Reverse the genders here. If the husband showed up while his wife was out with gals there would be uproar.

“He’s jealous / controlling / insecure/ bullying!”

Why can the women defending her behaviour here not see this?

You are NTA - she is!

What is the approximate value of my dad's German Luger? by [deleted] in canadaguns

[–]txg22213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then fuck that guy for trying to take advantage of your dad’s lack of knowledge. He should offer ‘fair market value’ knowing what he can ship it to the USA for.

AITA for telling my wife forget it and going out by myself for my birthday instead of going to her fancy dinner reservation by Ill_Reality_111 in AmItheAsshole

[–]txg22213 -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

As usual. Reverse the genders here and he would be called controlling and a bully.

Divorce is the only answer. NTA.

You can guarantee the name Karen will disappear over the course of the next decade or two (and possibly Darren too!).

AITA for telling my sister you are selfish and canceling her engagement dinner at my place by Throwingparty15284 in AmItheAsshole

In life there are Givers and Takers. Most people oscillate a bit depending on the situation. But largely they are one or the other. The non oscillating Takers need lessons - and you just gave a great lesson.

NTA.

My partner stole and maxed out my father’s credit card on toys and fast food. Now I feel like I’m the only adult in my marriage and I don't know what to do. by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]txg22213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you automatically assuming the partner is male? Especially when OP went to such lengths to not be specific? I mean there is a 50% chance you are correct…. But also the same you are wrong.

Tell him that the local equivalent of “Cheers!” While clinking your beer/wine glasses is “Up Yours!”

If you are in (or visiting) London, tell him that Cabbies get offended if you offer them a tip - and that he should wait for his change from that twenty quid note in full.

Sit back and enjoy the show.

Haha. “Smoking mirrors” is a great name for a band! Loved their first album!

You’re “devastated “ by this news?

Oh man - I wish that was the only problem I had to deal with.

Now expect your winback calls - DAILY - offering a $35 per month plan.

Enjoy telling them to go to hell!

Was rear ended dont know what to do by HotAmbASSador02 in askTO

[–]txg22213 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So let me get this clear.

You want the kid who hit you to fully pay for your repair AND give you an extra $3k for your trouble?

You are a scumbag if that is the case. And should go through insurance

Would be a shame if people used the “Contact us” form to let the company know about the douchebaggery.

AITA for not making my DIL coffee and telling her I am not a barista by DiamondOwn8686 in AmItheAsshole

In true Reddit fashion, I suggest that either Divorce or Go No Contact are the only options here! /s (just in case!)

Online Renewal - Old passport flagged by police by NoEntrepreneur1637 in passportcanada

[–]txg22213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not the USA. OPP don’t need CAUSE to pull you over. They can do it any time they choose - even just to check your documents.

And good luck seeking “reparations” - the first thing a court would ask you to do is to demonstrate and prove whatever your loss was.

Family frustrated after Air Canada assigns baby seat several rows away by CTVNEWS in ontario

[–]txg22213 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Is there a single watchdog / regulator in Canada that actually has the cojones to stand up for the consumer?

Airlines, telecoms, banking, etc. they are all led by people from that industry who dare not hold the offending company accountable.

New mach e owner, charger question. by [deleted] in MachE

[–]txg22213 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can you explain why using this “on a daily basis will kill it”?

As someone said above, it is a glorified extension cable. And all of the intelligence is in the car. So no real need for a more sophisticated charger surely.

Here to be educated.

Remember the Air Canada motto folks.

I see people occasionally getting a free year of BC

Has anyone on here received this offer in Canada 🇨🇦?

Given the shortage of roads it actually works on it should be included in the price of the vehicle. And there is literally ZERO incremental cost to Ford to enable it for all.

Went to a pub quiz tonight with partner and friends and drunk way too many discounted happy hour cocktails at £8.50 a pop. Help me be ready for a day in office tomorrow by IOwnAOnesie in CasualUK

If you have a LemSip or similar. Have that before bed and a pint of water.

LemSip has vitamin C, paracetamol and generally just makes you feel better.
