YTA bc the real problem is nobody is using the goddamn pusher when the slicer gets stuck. That's the safety issue. The safety issue even the manager was ignoring by pushing directly. 'Maybe she misjudged how far to stick her hand in the slicer bc she was high' isn't relevant when none of y'all should have been shoving your hands into the slicer and the manager is culpable by way of not enforcing using the pusher.

100% on the safety issue thing but lol @ being the rear end in a top hat for reporting someone who is high at work.

Root cause analysis is all about process failures which is what reaching a hand into the slicer absolutely is, it should never have come to that, but those workers also should never be allowed to come to work high. That was another process failure. Business should pay workman’s comp though.

AITA for wanting to be buried with my first husband?

I am 31F, married for 2 years to my husband, 35M. We have a baby son together, and are expecting another child.

When I was 23, I was married to my first husband, who passed away unexpectedly after our wedding. I was also involved in the accident that killed him, which led to the miscarriage of our unborn daughter. Both him and my daughter were buried beside each other, in the cemetery of my first husband's hometown. The headstone contained both their names and life years, as well as my name with a blank space underneath it.

My current husband and I have talked about death and dying before, but never in depth. Yesterday, we attended the funeral of his grandmother. She was buried beside her husband of 70 years. Afterwards, my husband said he had a "morbid question". He asked, in the future, if I ever passed away after him, if I would be buried beside him.

I told him that I'd like to be cremated, so half my ashes can be buried beside his body, and half my ashes can be buried beside by first husband and my daughter. This made my husband very upset. He asked me if I was serious, and when I said I was, he said that I was being insulting to him.

AITA? I feel like my plan is a good compromise and quite reasonable. My husband is usually quite accepting of the fact that I was married before him and is never jealous. This is unusual for him, and I wonder if I offended him in any way.

OP isn't the rear end in a top hat for reporting someone high at work, OP is the rear end in a top hat for not doing that before someone lost a finger.

I don't care if people want to get high or drunk, I do care if they do that right before work, but that's why you address that BEFORE a big issue happens. And none of that should impact workers comp, and it's poo poo for the coworker to have to pay the hospital bills for finger reattachment because she was doing what everyone else at her job was doing.

EDIT: Basically I think we're all in agreement, we just have different parts of this mess we're wtfing at first.

I don’t disagree at all, there were a shitload of failures there. The job should have had a policy of “use the pusher or you’re fired” from the start.

I actually plan to be buried directly on top of my ex-wife's grave and to have my mausoleum built around her tombstone, or whatever she decides upon. If she is cremated and her ashes are spread I will build a Confederate statue on the site so that people think she was racist. I just want to spite her for making our son straight and ruining my legacy.

WIBTA if I don't tip my tattoo artist?

So, 15 years ago, I got a tattoo. A simple shape (think something like a leaf), 1.5 inches in diameter, black outline, filled w/a solid color. The original "artist" took it upon himself to add white "highlights" that were, I think, meant to make it look 3-D. It just looked like the color was missing in spots. I couldn't see the area during the process. It cost $70. The place shut down soon after. I figured it was my fault for not doing research, and considered it a learning experience.

I recently decided to get it "fixed." Found a place with good reviews. Called, said I was hoping they could touch it up AND do something to make it look nicer. Asked to talk to the tattoo artist in person about possibilities.

When we met he said "so, what are we outlining?" I repeated what I said over the phone. Was about to mention adding to it when he interrupted with "uh huh, gimme a few minutes." I was put off, as there still wasn't a game plan. But he had good reviews and I already paid the deposit so, while waiting, I googled ideas. Settled on shading that would start black at the outline, and fade as it moved into the center of the shape. I hoped, since it was black over white and meant to look faded anyways, that it would blend well.

He came back, I showed him the example. He said no problem, and yes, it would blend in very well.

He communicated step by step. "Just finished going over the outline, now I'm doing the shading," etc. It took 30 minutes. Nothing he said made me question what he was doing so I was horrified when I saw that he'd added solid black lines in the middle of the shape, with no shading from the outline into the center. It's a terrible look for this particular shape.

There's a $100 minimum which is the same as the deposit so the artist said "let's just call it $100." However, I've been told that you should tip good tattoo artists. It DOES cover up the white, it's just not what I asked for. There's no way to "fix it" now without making it all black or getting an entirely new piece over it. I didn't want to make a scene so I just said it looked good.

Here's where the potential assholery comes in.

I'd given the receptionist my card# over the phone for the deposit. I went to the front to ask if I could add a tip when she ran my card. She said they were cash only, which I didn't expect, since they had to run my card anyways for the $100. She also didn't mention this when I made the appointment, so I had no way of knowing. I just wanted to get out of there, so I asked if I could bring cash later, she said yes.

I'm now the common denominator in two very negative experiences, and feel like this indicates that I'm the one who's not communicating what I want very well. However, I'm not sure how I could've described it better, or what I could've done differently, and I'm very unhappy with the new tattoo, more than the original.

Would I be the rear end in a top hat if I just didn't go back with a tip?

AITA for deleting my friend from social media after he changed his RSVP three days before my wedding?

I have known my friend James for 15 years. In our early 20s, we spent every weekend together. I considered him one of my best friends and there were many times I called him for support, which he always gave me unconditionally. In our mid 20s, James moved to a different country where he met his current partner and stayed for several years. The other country was a 14 hour flight away from our home country. We stayed in touch occasionally and I always made an effort to see him in person when he flew home for visits. Whenever we caught up our friendship felt just as strong and unshakeable as it was when we first knew each other, like no time had passed at all.

I got married about 10 months ago. Save the dates went out over a year before the wedding and invitations went out 6 months before the wedding. James and his partner were invited from the outset even though they still lived overseas. I was overjoyed when James moved home about 6 months before my wedding. I caught up with him several times after he came home.

I had my hen's party a couple of weeks before my wedding. It was a small group attending. James RSVPd yes and then called me the day before my hen's to apologise that he couldn't make it due to work. I was really sad that he couldn't be there but very understanding and told him not to worry, the wedding was the important event anyway.

A few days before my wedding, he rang my phone but I was too busy with last minute wedding prep to answer. He emailed me to say he couldn't come to the wedding because of a work commitment. I was devastated. He and his partner had RSVPd yes, the catering and bar was already paid for, their names were engraved on a custom-made seating plan and they had accommodation booked with other friends. I wrote back to him saying that I would have moved heaven and earth to be at his wedding, and wasn't sure how I could ever forgive him. He didn't reply.

The wedding day came and went. We had an amazing day, and although I was very sad about his absence I tried not to dwell on it. I didn't hear from James at all - no text, no phone call, no card, no message relayed through our friends. When I returned from my honeymoon, I was so angry that he hadn't contacted me that I deleted him from social media. I heard nothing from him for months. About four months after the wedding, I got drunk one night and texted him saying I needed him to know how much he had hurt me. He texted back once saying I had hurt him by removing him from social media. I sent a follow up text but he never responded.

I discovered via other friends' social media posts that he got married to his partner yesterday. I was not invited. I didn't even know they'd set a date. I have been so depressed since I found out.

AITA for deleting my friend from social media after he told me three days before my wedding that he couldn't make it anymore due to work?

i think a lot of people don't realize how fast that can escalate. she did the social media removal lashing out, assuming their relationship could weather it, expecting they'd circle around to talk about it, and he decided he was done with it and didn't take the bait. i'm guessing there was more going on here, like this being a pattern of how she communicates that he is loving done with.

a lot of people really do think if they threaten to cut things off, the other person will chase them. she was all 'chase me, chase me', didn't get chased and was pissed off.

I actually don't see how this guy was being toxic. It actually sounds more like James grew apart from his old friend and didn't really feel the same about them. Especially paired with the drama seeking, i feel there's a lot left out of this story, about the OP being a bit clingy.

EDIT: Just thinking about it RSVPing and cancelling close to the date was a dickhead move, so clearly an rear end in a top hat for that.

There's no detailed timeline, but it looks like in under a half year he blew off her wedding, set a date for his own, and had his wedding. I think she would have been ghosted even if she hadn't unfriended him on Facebook. Here was already withdrawing by the time her wedding came up.

AITA for calling FIL an rear end in a top hat?

So yesterday my (M28) wife (F27) fainted at work and was taken to hospital. She was later discharged and her dad helped her home.

I only found out once I came home from work, when her dad was screaming at me for "not taking good care of his daughter" and "not even bothering to show up when she needed me".

At this point I should explain that my wife has been working at the same company since before we got married, she has not updated her emergency contact details since she started working there.

Her emergency contacts, her mum and dad, were both informed and neither of them decided to call me and let me know, rather they just assumed I knew and didn't care enough about my wife.

Not only that but when my wife woke up in hospital asking her dad where I was, he straight up lied and told her that I couldn't be bothered to show up.

I absolutely went ballistic on my father in law, he's never really been fond of me and up and till this point I've just let it be, but this was the final straw. I mean he let my wife, who was struggling, think that I just didn't even care about her.

My wife hears her dad and I absolutely going for it. She comes downstairs to try and calm the situation and ends up breaking down. I tell her dad to go away whilst I try to comfort my wife.

I know this stressed her out more and she didn't need it but it was also the final straw for me. I spent the rest of the night comforting her and she seemed fine later on apart from being worried about how her dad hates me even more now.

My(23F) bf(33M) spends the entire night playing his organ in the basement and I’m worried about his health

quote:

We’ve been together for a year...My bf is a brooding and artistic guy who loves music, but I think he takes it too far. When I go to bed he says he’ll be there soon and then 2 seconds later he’ll be in the basement playing the organ. It’s gotten so bad that the neighbors have complained and police have shown up (but there isn’t a law against playing an organ at 3am). When I wake up the next morning he’ll crawl into bed and sleep the entire day. Once I tried to explain to him that what hes doing was unhealthy but all he did was look shocked and say “how dare you?”. He then proceeded to run downstairs and play even louder.

Any advice on how to stop this? Its been causing the dogs outside to bark like crazy and it’s really annoying.

TLDR-My bfs organ playing is ruining our relationship.

AITA For kicking my son out of the house for not accepting my daughter being LGBTQ?

My son is 25 and my daughter is sixteen first of all. My son has had no effort to get a job yet and doesn’t chat with us most the time. My wife and I haven’t tried to enforce anything yet because we still believed he’d turn sound.

This all changed when on Friday my sixteen year old daughter came out as a lesbian which me and my wife were really happy about this because when she confessed she just seemed so much happier then she was before.

However my son got angry and said that he would not accept a daughter that’s one of those d—es and that he feels like people only say there gay because they want attention. Then he ran into his room and slammed the door.

My daughter got really upset by this and said she didn’t understand how he could be this way.

Between that and the fact that he’s 25 years old and trashed our house several times with his “friends” I waited a few weeks for this to all calm down and when he still hasn’t apologized told him.

That he has two weeks to get out or I’m going to kick him out. What happened next was my son got really infuriated and said that I had no right to kick out my son like that and he was sure that his mom would not be happy.

As it turns out my daughter straight up said she didn’t care my wife called me an rear end in a top hat for not talking to my son about why he doesn’t accept her before kicking him out of the house and that she feels like I should’ve talked this out with her first.

I was only trying to make my daughter happy but I feel like this could’ve ruined my relationship with my son to be fair I did ask my daughter if I could do this but maybe o could’ve talked this out better with my son and wife.
