girl pants posted:Hey reddit my friend got kidnapped by an Uber driver and I didn't want to help because it was too inconvenient for me to stop her getting potentially raped or killed but ehhh it's really her fault because she drinks and is friendly to men which gets handled in a "I know this was wrong buuuutt...." sentence and it just owns  Also all the little details they make sure to include like the unprotected sex and I just want to say this person is not only awful but doubling down on being awful

On the one hand she's complete garbage but on the other it is such an immensely NYC thing to get a call from a friend about to be raped and basically say "Well, I'm all the way Uptown right now, c'mon" that it is hilarious to me

"You wanted to see the city from your shithole town in Texas, welcome to the Big Apple!"  It's cool how she wouldn't even offer her place to her out of town friend that likes to party and was leery of Matt, what an amazing person.

You all get pretty worked up about gift giving (lol wtf?), so I went looking for "gift". Enjoy you goofs My fiancé (29/M) won’t stop trying to surprise me (30/F) and I cant stand it anymore quote:My fiance and I have been in a primarily long distance relationship for the past 5 years. We started to date right before he had to go back to his home country to help take care of his grandmother. Even though we’d been dating for 2 months, we were in the honeymoon phase and felt invincible, so we decided to stay together. It’s actually gone pretty great! We Skype often, and he made a visit home about 3 years back that was just filled with so much love. We send gifts for holidays, birthdays, special occasions. It’s so great. I love him so much. About a year ago, his grandmother passed, and he was talking about maybe coming back to America. It was always known that he would be back, but we just didn’t know when he would be back. It was all up in the air, and I didn’t think it would happen then. Well, he surprised me three times over 9 months ago by coming back home, proposing, and showing me our brand new house. We moved in together and have been really happy together.

When I was a kid my parents told me that we had to go clothes shopping and took me to the amusement park instead. This was a bad idea, because every single shopping trip after that for years started with me going 'are we really going to Big Lots? Or is this another surprise Kennywood trip??'

Enjoy you goofs One time my wife threw me a surprise birthday brunch with a bunch of my friends, and I was gracious about it of course, but she could tell it was kind of a big adjustment for me to suddenly have to socially interact with a bunch of my friends with no warning before I'd even had any caffeine yet that day, and (thank God) has not thrown me a surprise party since

Enjoy you goofs This thread loves to latch onto seemingly bland problems and really drag them out, it's funny most of the time. NYC girl is a loving terrible friend and I'd probably never talk to her again. Surprise lady just needs to sit down with her fiance and explain that surprises are nice once and a while, but it can't be all the time for everything.

Enjoy you goofs This guy is like a slightly more benign version of people who tell unpleasant but entirely believable lies then reveal it to be a "prank" and get salty when the recipient doesn't find it funny. Constantly* telling someone you're doing one thing then doing something else that you consider to be "better", or saying you WON'T do a nice thing someone asks you to do then doing it anyway doesn't make you a spontaneous;y nice person, it makes it impossible for the people around you to trust anything you say. *there are exceptions of course, but even then you need to be sure the person being surprised will appreciate it, some people find unpredictability stressful, intimidating and anxiety-promoting

I like the ones where figuring out what their actual question is is extremely telling like for example in the NYC one, her actual question was "I know I did something wrong, but is it ok for me to change the subject into criticisms of my friend's personal choices right after apologizing so we spend all our time talking about that instead?"

ArbitraryC posted:Just PCS’d overseas to Japan for my next military assignment. 1 week later a girl who I was talking to 2 months prior tells me she’s pregnant. What do I do? Controversial opinion: if a dude is loving a lady and gets her pregnant and tells her he's not ready to be a dad but she wants to keep it because SHE'S ready for a baby, I think it's ok to leave that lady to do it on their own. It can be Her Kid, she's making that choice. You can't force her not to have it, but she shouldn't be able to force you into a family you're not willing to have. You shouldn't HAVE to take care of the child, because the assumption that having sex will equal you promising to Raise The Baby should it appear is pretty drat bold. While I get that it's real lovely to be a deadbeat dad, it's crazy how we feel that men should 'man up' if they get a woman pregnant and just deal with it if she decides to Play Family on her own while dragging him into it. (for reference, I am a lady who thinks this)

Well, if you consciously keep up the behaviours and continue to associate with people, you'll remain elevated perpetually basically. The point is more that you can't just do it for a while and expect the results to last. But laughing at redditors is good for the soul, so amen.

Maybe you wouldn’t have to add the PS if this weren’t such an odious opinion. It’s ABOUT the kid, that’s why bring a deadbeat is bad. Not because you left the lady but because you made a loving child and they need you. Who the gently caress do you or anyone think they are, that their decisions should be free of consequence. What world do you think you deserve to live in?

If you’ve ever wondered why the world doesn’t seem to love you, maybe you should ask, DO I deserve to be loved? Do I really? Why? I’d bet $100 you’re at least a one-time drunk driver.

Lol why the gently caress would you think that being responsible for the baby is somehow a gotcha for the woman? If you want to be absolved of your responsibility for making a baby you can 100% do that by not loving having sex
