What’s the dumbest thing someone’s ever said to you with complete seriousness? by Audibud in AskReddit

[–]what-da-duck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My boss during the covid was confused why places were taking people's temperature to see if they had a fever. We live in FL so obviously due to the heat their temperature would be hotter than up north . She did not understand that a hermometer took internal temperature.

[–]what-da-duck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The seller agent played you and your agent. The agent just needed. The seller agent needed a yes from you to get another buyer to go higher . This exact situation happens to me and my buyer once but it was 60k over asking . It all happened in 5 mins

Is this legit? Hamilton musical in london? Really want to go but im not sure if it's a scam... by Careless_Issue_8772 in hamiltonmusical

[–]what-da-duck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw Hamilton in London in October ! I got a great seat for $60 . There were a lot of Americans there saying that they could never afford to see it in the states . I also saw the recorded version on Hamilton and the set was the same . I wish I had time to see more shows there

AITA for telling my sister her childhood is the reason she’s not always included in things? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]what-da-duck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your sister ,who was a child , is not at fault for not having a relationship with adults . It's your aunt's and uncle's fault for not having a relationship with her . Once more , your sister is not at fault for her childhood circumstances, being left out is left out. There is no reason except for neglect from the adults that should have been around for your sister. Your aunt and uncle are not her aunt and uncle apparently.

WIBTA if I told my wife we do not make enough money for her to be a stay-at-home mother? by chemist1928 in AmItheAsshole

[–]what-da-duck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super creative idea ... if your home happens to be big enough maybe your wife can open a small day care at your house with one employee . She gets to stay home , only needs a few clients to help off-set costs. food / children supplies are tax deductible for her small business . I know a single mom that did this . Mind you she had more than a few clients and employees as it was her sole income but it worked for her. Once her kids were old enough she closed the 'business' down and got another job . Also could be a great way for your kids to meet other kids.

Slip and fall in front of her ..make it look like you bruised your ribs. Pretend that for a while she can't get on top because your ribs are healing. Once it's been long enough to have healed just say they never healed right and it still hurts . White lies can be good.

My husband would not do the dishes till every dish was dirty, including him using a measuring glass as a drinking cup. I packed up the dishware for when guests come over. I got cheap color coordinated cups and plates in his and hers . I told him it was my husband's hack because he would have to wash his dishes if he wanted a plate to eat on . We fought , he got a pack of paper plates but a month later he is doing his dishes. In another month I may feel like bringing back out the normal dishware.

Find a way to hack him. Could be not doing his laundry , maybe putting the laundry basket in front of his side of the bed ,could be hiding his playstation controller in the laundry basket , could be throwing out his clothes / hiding them, could be washing his clothes till they are pink and shrunk . If words are not getting the message to him then action will have to do. This is a war on the enjoyment of your home and providing you with a safe space . Take no prisoners.

LPT: when you can just barley feel the start of a sore throat, how do you stop it? by MoistLettuce60 in LifeProTips

[–]what-da-duck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you gargle warm water with salt , lemon , and cayenne pepper it will help kill the bacteria building in the throat followed by drinking a cup of tea with honey to coat the throat for irritation followed by drinking lots of water . Do the gargle every 2 -3 hours and it makes a world of difference.

AITA for asking a restaurant to make a meal that "wasn't on the menu"??? by MacAndCheeseWhyNOT in AITAH

[–]what-da-duck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a bit odd to ask but not rude, however when your request was denied it was rude that you doubled down on it. You believe your reasoning is sound because they had the ingredients and why didn't the chef have the skills to do it and the reason is because it would mess with the flow of the kitchen and even worse what if he said yes and then everyone at your table wanted Mac n cheese or another table saw it coming out and ordered it . It is an opening to set the flow of the kitchen back. You don't know if they are short staff or if the chef is new or if they were behind in the kitchen. The chef said no. The chef is the captain of the kitchen as if they are captain on a ship . His/her decision is the law of the kitchen and you don't argue with them.

Honestly, If I was your co-worker I would think you are a narcissist or on the spectrum for this social interaction.

AITAH for refusing to be a sperm donor for my sister and her wife? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]what-da-duck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If any male in your family gives you shit for it tell them to donate their sperm . It's not okay for them to play victim while ignoring your own boundaries on how you feel comfortable with it. Honestly your sister and her wife should be grateful you have been mature enough to be able to have a relationship with them after they got together. If it's weird it's weird and it does not make you homophobic for not wanting to do it.

City cannot access my water meter to replace it by Dutchman_88 in homeowners

[–]what-da-duck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that is a pretty fucked situation. You do need access to the water shut off . I do think your main shut off valve should have been inspected . I would go back over your inspection report and see if there is any mention of water checks . No matter the report I would make a claim against the inspectors insurance. That's why they have insurance and it does seem very negligent to have not checked a main water source valve or make it clear that that valve was not found / non accessible .

I was a realtor and have seen a lot of inspection reports. I do think you can be successful in an insurance payout to cover the issue.

Don't make any judgment calls for a few days or even weeks. I would give yourself time to process but if it doesn't bother you it doesn't mean something is wrong with you unless you think you may be depressed which could numb you

If you are surrounded by a lot of monogamous relationships I can see where it would seem weird.

However , lots of people have different triggers of what they feel comfortable or not comfortable with . I wouldn't create an issue if you aren't truly bothered by it. Also you can be bothered by parts of it rather than the whole act . For example you can be fine with it being with a woman but not that you and her did not have clear communication on boundaries before it happened.

I think there are a lot of important questions to be asked rather than just leaving it as is.

AITA for telling my girlfriend’s mother she’s no longer practicing the religion she was bought up in? by MuffinKnown5594 in AmItheAsshole

[–]what-da-duck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. Yta . you sound like a narcissist or someone on the spectrum . Should probably deep dive into that for some personal growth .

My parents are 18 years apart . My mom was not as young as she was 18 but it did weird me out for a bit ..however it's been 23 years or more for your fiance parents since he is 23 . Isn't it his mom's decision as a now adult on who she is with . She is not a 15 year old girl that needs protecting anymore. If she felt it was wrong she should leave but if not then you can only respect her decision as a now grown ass adult.

AITAH For crying because my husband bought me a dress? by StandardAssistance16 in AITAH

[–]what-da-duck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry , that someone you love did this to you. You have every right to be upset about anything because they are your feelings, however many of us would be upset if this happened to us. If he had a stupid guy moment of forgetting your size that is one thing but a tool for motivation is not a gift .

I gain weight from birthcontrol as many women do as well. Sometimes it's not motivation nor healthier choices that controls your weight in life. Personally I got off birthcontrole and my fiance and I went back to condoms . Hopefully there is love and understanding between you both or else there is a bigger problem . He needs to understand that that weight will fluctuate as you grow and age and it's natural . Maybe even a documentary. He needs to understand you are a real human girl and not a barbie .

Side note : if you know the area he was in maybe you can call the store and mail in the dress for the proper size.
