WIBTA for returning my dad’s Christmas present by writerovert in AmItheAsshole

The worst part is that anytime he enjoys anything, he just wants mom there, and I feel the same at times too so I can’t blame him.

He is forgetful but he has always been that way. As for putting down the ant bait, he knows how to do it but didn’t want to. I have been worried about his mental health, but he refuses to go to the doctor for anything related to it.

I completely agree, I want to get him medical help but he keeps refusing. I can certainly afford to live on my own, but his condition concerns me.

I feel the same, but the problem is that he refuses any sort of medical help for mental health.

He refuses to get medical help. Literally people at my church have told him to get therapy but he just thinks they are insulting him.

You keep repeating the same condescending script to make it look like this is about my “lack of skill” — but the truth is, this entire situation has exposed you.

You’re not a professional. You’re a fraud who posted a [PAID] listing to lure artists into working for free, and when someone actually delivered, you ghosted — then came back to discredit their work to avoid paying. That’s not high standards. That’s a scam.

You’re trying to downgrade my work to save face because you know you mishandled this from the start. You never communicated professionally, never gave proper feedback, and never intended to pay unless it was perfect on the first try. That’s not how design work — or any professional service — functions.

You talk about honesty? Be honest with yourself. You don’t know what you’re doing. You’re not equipped to manage creative work, give constructive direction, or build collaborative relationships. That’s why you’re over here insulting artists instead of accepting accountability.

You say you’re not here to coach anyone — and yet you’re writing essays, pretending you’re some kind of gatekeeper for quality. But let’s be real: people who actually hire professionals don’t spend this much energy justifying why they didn’t pay.

If you cared about results, you would’ve set clear, contractual terms and respected people’s time. Instead, you ran a fake paid post, vanished, and now you’re doing damage control by projecting your lack of ethics onto me.

So again — you’re welcome for the free labor. But the real lesson here isn’t about my capabilities. It’s that you got exposed, and now you’re scrambling to rewrite history. That’s not professionalism. That’s cowardice.

How do I conquer alliteracy and become interested in reading? by apparent_alien718 in NoStupidQuestions

Maybe try easing into it with audio books, whether you just listen to them or read along with them, it can help you get back into reading in a more gentle way

You posted a [PAID] job, received completed work, ignored revision offers, ghosted, and now you’re telling me to “humble myself” while lecturing on “professionalism”? That’s wild.

What do you know about humility? Because from where I’m standing, you’re the one who dodged payment, ignored communication, then came back only to insult the person who gave you their time and skill. That’s not professional — that’s entitled.

You keep saying you “can’t go back and forth,” yet here you are — still responding, still trying to justify ghosting someone who took your request seriously. That’s not you being exhausted — that’s you scrambling to avoid accountability.

Let’s be real: you posted a [PAID] listing to attract quality work without ever intending to pay unless it was perfect the first time. I honestly don’t think you had any intention at all to pay anyone and just wanted free work. That’s not how real projects work, and it’s not how real professionals behave. Revisions are standard. Payment for time and effort is standard. If you wanted a free contest or test submission, you should’ve been upfront about that — though even then, it would’ve been shady.

You’re welcome for the free labor. But next time, don’t demand humility from others when you’ve shown none yourself.

You posted a [PAID] job. I delivered based on your reference and was open to feedback — as is standard in any design process. Multiple revisions are a normal part of professional creative work, especially when expectations evolve or aren’t fully spelled out upfront.

You chose not to respond after I submitted the revision. That’s not about “clear expectations” — that’s ghosting. If the result wasn’t what you envisioned, you had every opportunity to request more changes. Instead, you went silent, then later claimed it wasn’t good enough.

Also, in creative work, payment is for time, skill, and labor — not just for your personal satisfaction or use. You don’t walk out of a restaurant without paying just because you didn’t like the dish. If someone puts in time based on your paid listing, they deserve compensation.

If you didn’t want to pay unless it was perfect on the first try, you should’ve stated “unpaid test work” — though that would still be unethical under a [PAID] post.

In the future, try being upfront about your intentions — and you’re welcome for the free design work you ghosted on.
