WIBTA For Requesting a Refund After An Employee Wrote Bible Verses All Over My Takeout?

Okay this is weird. My husband and I ordered door dash tonight and we requested from a small restaurant in town. The thing is, EVERY takeout item they wrote some sort of Bible verse. Upon looking on their website they don't appear to be overly religious. I just think it's really messed up to push your religion on someone like that and I wish I would've ordered elsewhere. What do you guys think? Was this over the top and I'm justified in requesting a refund?

Edit: since a lot of people have asked. No I have not eaten the food. I would never eat food and then request a refund that is an automatic AH in my book.

Does she think the restaurant can take the food back and serve it again? That's weird. But it's also weird to write Bible verses on everything. So maybe this one is a wash. ESH

AITA for not allowing my ex-wife 50/50 custody of my daughter?

quote:

Some background: I (32M) met my late wife when we were 17. We dated all through college and moved in together and got married after graduation. Two years later, she got pregnant and we were anxiously waiting the birth of our daughter. However, it was a rough pregnancy, and she passed away while giving birth to our daughter (7F).

I won’t lie, it was a horrific time in my life. I was struggling with losing my first love unexpectedly and learning how to parent a newborn. I relied heavily on my family for support and after a couple of years I pulled myself up by my bootstraps for my daughter and got our lives together.

Around this time, I met my current soon-to-be-ex-wife (30F). She was the first woman who caught my eye after so long grieving, and we fell in love. I admit I became a little too rash after seeing how good she was with my daughter, and we got married after about a year of dating.

Flash forwards to now. She’s cheating. I found out about it through one of her coworkers who thought I should know. I’m devastated. I filed for divorce but because of current world events we are still living together and forced to interact.

Because of this, we have spent a lot of time talking about how to split things up (not always amicably). She wants 50/50 custody of my daughter. I said hell no.

To be clear, my daughter is 100% aware that her bio mom died in childbirth, and that step-mom is not her bio mom. She calls her step-mom by her first name (that is how I introduced her).

I do not plan to fully cut them off. My STB-ex is the only mother figure my daughter has known, and I will fully support them having contact and keeping up with their weekly Saturday movie nights. I just don’t want to split custody 50/50. My daughter is mine and she will stay with me full time.

However my STB-ex is calling me selfish and horrible and saying that my daughter is hers as well and it’s cruel to not allow for an even split. So Reddit, AITA?

EDIT: We have not told my daughter anything about this yet, as we thought it would be too confusing to tell her that we are splitting up and yet continue living in the same house indefinitely.

If they wanted to be part of the child's life, they should have not cheated on the father. They may have salvaged a relationship with the kid if they had actually had the guts to divorce. Now they really don't deserve that chance.

When people actually have repercussions for their actions, they may actually learn something. Probably not, cause people are trash.

Eat the food, and leave a complaint about their preachy packaging? Never eat there again? Crazy ideas that no one could have thought of, better just let the food go to waste.

Harry Potter fandom is the loving worst. Something about the people who obsess over it makes me really sad for some reason. It’s up there with Disney and Star Wars in the sense that it’s entertainment made for literal children that some early millennial/late gen-x’ers have decided to define their identity around, and it just really creeps me out.

If I was at that wedding I would feel bad for whoever hosted it, but not bad enough to not ignore their awful seating plan and just sit with my wife anyways.

I think the author's encouragement of that kind of makes it that bad too. She tries to shoehorn Harry Potter lore into news about current events and fans eat it up. poo poo is just weird at that level.

Ethical concerns aside, even if I were Christian, I would absolutely not eat food someone wrote bible verses on. It is undoubtedly poisoned. I know op probably meant written on the styrofoam in ballpoint pen, but I'm imagining JOHN 3:16 spelled out in pepperonis on a pizza.

WIBTA If I do not give inheritance to my husband's kids who hated him since his divorce?

quote:

Made a throwaway so because this may be controversial. 30 years ago, my husband and his wife divorced because of an affair his wife has been having for 5 years up that point. They already had 2 children and a third coming. After the divorce, my husband was broke. The Ex took the kids, the house, but husband negotiated with her, and pretty much gave her everything in exchange for him not having to pay alimony.

That was a smart move on his part, because not longer after we met, he took up a position working in I.T. He clambered up the ladder and soon (within 15 years) became a regional I.T. Director within a large company. He earnt a lot and soon started investing smartly into several areas of his interest. Overall, he made about 10 million dollars for himself and only to himself, since we had a prenup.

Meanwhile all of this, he had been attempting to contact his children, and all denied him. The husband did not blame the children as they probably had a terrible image of him given by their mother, but nevertheless, he gave up on having a relationship with them because none tried to make it work.

Not long ago, my husband had passed away due to an illness and left me and my two children the an inheritance. I inherited 8 million dollars and my children inherited one million dollars each and a hefty amount in shares. I was saddened by his passing, since I loved him dearly, but then I received a text from an unknown number. Then from 2 others.

Long story short, their mother broke down from guilt after hearing of my husband's death and told her children that she had lied this whole time, now they are trying to contact me and attempting to say that they deserve a share of the inheritance. They are telling me how much they didn't know about him and had they known they certainly would have let him back into our lives. I understand that they were under an illusion made by their mother, but I feel like they don't deserve a cent. So, WIBTA?

Edit: A will was in place, in case any of you wanted to know. It did not mention his other family.

Promise them a share if they join you on your island retreat and fight each other to the death. Then give them nothing.

Tbh outside of the bit where he got legit annoyed at one of the kids for not liking the right kind of owl I'm sortawith the husband on this one. Having that kind of wide eyed enthusiasm for a project or hobby is a magical thing even of it is super goofy and nerdy. As long as it's not ruining them financially (a single unproductive day of wfh is pretty harmless as long as it doesn't become a pattern) jumping straight to divorce/professional help because your SO has found something to distract them from the virus-pocalypse is a bit harsh. It's knly been a couple weeks, let the man make his silly game, you might even enjoy it if you stopped rolling your eyes for a second!

Also owls are cool and if they are using the boxes I'd be all up in them nest cams

Do weddings in the US not usually split up couples and groups during the wedding meal? Here in the UK that's been the case at every wedding I've ever been to, I can't think of a single time I've been to a wedding where I've been seated with my partner or my family.

That's interesting, is it a holdover from the old ettiquette rule of splitting up couples at dinner parties (so they're forced to mingle with the other guests)?

quote:

DEAR MISS MANNERS: Please explain the correct way to seat couples during dinner parties. I was recently at a family event where couples were asked to sit at separate tables. This announcement drew complaints and derision from some who were offended by being told what to do (and forced to deal with their in-laws without backup.)

I think it is a wonderful idea and have since read that during formal state dinners at the White House, this tradition is maintained. Could you lend some guidance on how to entertain in the future with these same couples in mind?

GENTLE READER: It is not only at state dinners, but at any properly run dinner party that couples are seated apart from each other. This heads off the irresistible temptation to break into the telling of family stories with remarks like "No, dear, that was the second time we went there, not the first."

When Miss Manners is told of couples protesting that they can't bear to sit apart even for the length of a meal, she does not take it as evidence of marital devotion. On the contrary, it sounds mighty like distrust. If they have no social interests or skills, they can always stay home.

He probably should have spent some of that $10m on a better estate attorney. If you want to disinherit a kid you really need to say so, leaving them out gives them an avenue to contest the will.

There's a difference between having the bible verse printed as part of the packaging and someone with direct access to your food scrawling them on there. Do I think it's poisoned? Probably not. Is it creepy and off-putting? Very.

I (M22) have been dating the love of my life for over 6 years (F22) but i have a problem

quote:

I’ll make it quick. We’ve been dating since high-school and have dated all through college. I’m finally finishing college this year. Well I’ve only slept with her and one other girl one single time and nothing else. We live together now, I’m never apart from her ever, we talk about getting married in a short amount of time so we’re def serious. But i feel like I’m missing out on a part of life. I cherish every second i have of her and i don’t wanna date around, i just wanna gently caress a few more girls. I’m honestly sick and tired of only having hosed 1 girl in my life (the 2cd girl i hosed was in pitch black, lasted a couple minutes and almost all our clothes stayed on, lame). I literally can’t even picture what sex with someone else would be like and i want it. I talked to her about this months ago and she said she won’t give me “permission” to do it and if i wanna do it we gotta breakup. I do wanna marry her honeslty it makes me feel trapped when it’s either marry the girl of my dreams or get to have sex with other girls. I know i love her no question about it all of my urges are purely in a cause I’m horny for other girls and honestly want the experience cause it seems dope to me. I have a girl who’s willing to gently caress me rn and she’s hot af. She said she’d come to my house and literally let me gently caress her rough the entire day and night. It’s hard to pass up so i feel like i need to make a decision now or never. I know there’s no easy answer but can i have opinions?

TLDR: I have met my soul mate however we’ve been together through all of the years i would have slept around. I’m tired of missing out but still want to marry her. I talked to her about it and she said either we breakup or i don’t do it. I have a girl willing to gently caress me rn so i feel like i have to decide. I just want to gently caress other girls for experience not to date around so it’s not like i don’t love my gf. Help.
