AITA for wearing an ahegao sweater at the gym?

Before I write this, as a heads up, allow me to say that my life has been complicated.

Almost ten years ago, I was in higschool. I had a terrible flu case, and also felt the need to use a toilet. I was 16 at that time. Diarrhea with massive farts do not go well with a 16 years old's reputation, and I was pretty sure my dad would understand the situation and my skipped classes. The only reason I was at school that day anyway and not at home in bed was because of an irrelevant event. So, I decided to make a run to my uncle's house, which was 5 minutes away. I also had the keys to the place. I arrive. I open the door. And there she was, clear straight view from the hallway into the living room, on top of another dude. My aunt.

I ran to the toilet. 20 minutes. I got out. He was gone. I told my aunt who tried to talk to me, that I do not care. We will never talk about this. I left.

Which brings us to last Christmas, ten years later.

My parents had a pretty ugly divorce during these years. My dad also had an alcohol addiction, which influenced me a bit. My uncle grew colder, unbearable, and at times, criticized us for not raising to his social standards.

We had a family/close friends sort of gathering, where both my parents, my uncle, my aunt, and their 2 kids, my 21 year old cousin, and 9 year old cousin, were present, among other various people.

Argument ensues. Insults are thrown. Apparently my upbringing has been flawed which led me to be inferior to my cousins. Mother was crying. Dad was yelling. Uncle was yelling. I am yelling at him, and he keeps calling me incompetent and other names. Aunt was smug. My older cousin has always been weird and annoying, the younger one is quite brilliant and funny, and I'm sure he'll have a wonderful future. I also like to talk to him about various things he likes and his hobbies. We would have made great friends.

The uncle yells something of the sort: At least if you hadn't divorced, maybe you could have made another one, more functional. Mother replies: What's that supposed to mean? Uncle: Well, they say with the second one you cannot mess up, and since this one's a disaster, maybe another one would have been more decent.

Me: The only reason cousin 2 is not r****ded as cousin 1, is because he is not yours. But aunt can tell you more.

Her face was mortified. She forgot I knew, or at least never expected it to ever come up again.

I left. They argued awkwardly for 2 more minutes, and they also left. The other guests were gone by the time this whole chaos ensued. My mom and dad wanted to talk to me about it. I refused, and went home as well.

In January, my uncle had a paternity test arranged, after monstruous fights with my aunt. My cousin was not his child. He will never look at him the same again, and probably because of me, he will not have a proper father. My cousin no longer talks to me.

Dear Reddit, Am I the rear end in a top hat?

LOL, there's no reasonable reaction to someone who keeps used condoms, let alone puts them on display, let alone puts them on display in a common area. They should have put bars of soap into condoms and beat him while he slept

Hahahahaha, no they loving won't. For every example of police doing this, there's a dozen where they outright refused. My friend is going through a divorce and just wanted to go pick up her cats. Her ex-husband acknowledged the cats were hers in an email and said if she showed up on 'his' property (they were both on the lease) he'd shoot her. Cops refused to escort her to the house to get her cats because 'we don't handle civil matters, ma'am.'

Cops are not a dependable resource for abuse victims.

Wasn't there an Instagram cosplayer who got super famous because she made that specific facial expression all the time? And she ended up bottling her bathwater and selling it to desperate nerds for tens of thousands of dollars?

WIBTA for following my light duty letter to the T?

I am currently 31 weeks pregnant and I work as a water filtration operator. Every four weeks, me and the other operators rotate onto the maintenance shift where we work under this particular supervisor, we'll call him Randy. Randy likes to think he has more control that he does have, and honestly, the plant supervisor just lets him think that.

About a month or so ago, I was working with him and he told me to pick up a 45 lb empty nitrogen cylinder. I politely reminded him that I was pregnant and shouldn't be doing that, to which he responded since I didn't have light duty paperwork, it shouldn't be a problem. I sucked it up and lifted the cylinder and carried it to the destination, but received a pulled muscle in the process. The next day, I informed the plant supervisor and an work injury report was filed. When my statement was taken, the verbiage I used that was corroborated with another coworker that was present caused Randy to get in trouble because he knew I was pregnant and essentially caused the injury to happen. He made a fuss about me not having light duty paperwork saying that if I didn't have it then I should be capable of doing the work that is needed around the plant. I was capable, I just used common sense. Prior to that incident, I did my job to the fullest within the limitations of my body, which wasn't that much. I rested when I needed to, didn't lift more than my body would allow, and most importantly, I was the only female out of 7 employees so my other coworkers were more than willing to help me if I asked (which wasn't that often).

So I got my light duty paperwork at the behest of the plant supervisor to keep Randy quiet and it restricted me as such:

No stooping more than 2 times an hour
No climbing ladders or poles at all
No climbing more than 3 flights of stairs a shift
No lifting more than 25 pounds
No standing more than 30 minutes out of each hour
And limited contact with chemicals

These orders make it very difficult for me to do my job fully as it basically limits me to either desk work, or general cleaning. I can't do too much maintenance work when its time to go to Randy's shift and I know that's going to cause an issue. Under normal circumstances, I would be more than happy to bend the rules here to make everyone's lives easier, but honestly, since he's the one who bitched and moaned for me to get this paperwork, I plan to make full use of it.

So WIBTA for following my doctors orders to the T?

"Doing something ironically" is quickly becoming a very dated concept in this New Very Online World we live in

quote:

I am from a very small city in Bosnia and we're ethnic serbs and my surname is Trtica which means "little rear end" or something in English. Obviously people often don't take me seriously because of this poo poo. I have another friend who's surname is Puzigaca which means "crawling panties" and another one who's name is Kenjalo which is a person taking a poo poo. When the Austro-Hungarians ruled our country they demanded we have surnames to keep track of records and such because we did what they do in Iceland and Mongolia, the father's first name becomes a surname. The Serbs here obviously hated the Austro-Hungarians and would create ridiculous surnames as a form of protest and laugh at the Austrians writing this poo poo down.

Well its over a century later and now we're stuck with this dumbass poo poo. My ancestor who founded this town and killed some Austrian fucker may be a hero in that sense but he screwed me and the rest of his descendants over. I was bullied in Sarajevo (middle and high school) for my surname and I am constantly made fun of at university though its nowhere near as bad. I got drunk in my hometown and I went on a drunken rant about how much of an inconsiderate rear end in a top hat my ancestor is for making this bullshit surname which fucks us over. Everyone got pissed and they wouldn't give me anymore rakija for the rest of the night and they refused to take me to the next club. My friends sucked rear end.

Now y’all, my wife could burn ice. We have been married for a year, and it has been a year of overcooked pasta, undercooked rice, pink chicken, and lumpy mashed potatoes. We eat takeout about three nights a week, or I cook. I love my wife. She’s perfect in every other way, she just can’t. cook.

Because we eat takeout for dinner, I often end up eating takeout twice a day, and the cost was really adding up. The last woman that I was with before I met my wife was an amazing cook, and even taught the basic recipes that I use now. She has gone to culinary school, and is a professional home chef. She makes meal prep for people as part of her job.

I asked her to do some meal prep for my for my lunches at work. I stored them in my work freezer. Been doing this for about three weeks, and it’s been great. I’ve been able to save a bit of money and eat better food.

Wife looks through the bank statements for this months and blows her top, she thinks I’m cheating (which is crazy. I sent my ex $150 for the month for food). When I explained to her what I was doing, she got even more angry, and accused me of having an “emotional affair” over food.

She’s demanding that I cancel my arrangement with my ex and apologize for betraying her. I don’t think I betrayed her at all. I’m just trying to eat, and my ex will do this meal prep for me on the cheap. I don’t see the issue with it. Am I really wrong here?
