Straight White Shark posted: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. Pham Nuwen posted:It's amazing that In-N-Out has managed to stay open this long, since they poison all their milkshakes. It's not an overreaction. Context is important. It's kind of the whole principle behind why stalking and associated behaviors are bad. If I find a note saying "see you soon!" in my lunch from my fiancee, I take that as a positive and move on with my day. If I get it in my uber delivery, I'm not sleeping that night, especially if, like the OP, I am a woman. If I'm the kind of person who likes bible verses and get one from my pastor at bible study, I reflect on it. If I receive one from my uber eats driver, I'm very uneasy. If I see any quotes about "eating my body," there's definitely cum in that food, so I'm taking it to Cumshitter's business hole and donating it to him while he tells me how to reorganize my investment portfolio.

AceClown posted: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. A few people are naturally outgoing and gregarious to the point that they'll strike up conversations with anybody at the table even if they don't know them. But most people aren't that outgoing and would find it super awkward to end up at a table where you don't know anybody...especially if the rest of the people at the table *do* already know each other so you're just a random outsider.

Eat the food, call the place and tell them that the writing makes you uncomfortable and that if they're that concerned about your spiritual wellbeing a prayer would suffice. If you don't like their response then write a fair review and don't order from there again.

( I covered some estate law in my previous class and my understanding is that it's very likely the deceased father updated his will long after the divorce. So the date of the will is a mark for them, since a child born after a will was last updated has a stronger claim to being mistakenly left out.

artsy fartsy posted: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)? My brother-in-law's ex-girlfriend would always pretend to joke about trying to have the four of us (him, her, me, and my husband) sit "Regency style" every time we would go out to eat. Regency style is, according to her (I don't actually know), when you split up people who are married or are related for seating arrangements, which was difficult with the four of us because I was married to my husband and related by marriage to my brother-in-law. I say she pretended to joke about it because she would be clearly visibly distraught that we couldn't sit Regency style. She would suggest it every time, and every time it would obviously be impossible because we would be seated at a booth or a four-top, and there was no way to get around that, and she would be obviously bothered by it. This, among many other things, is why I'm glad she is an ex.

"Wrote scripture verses on the takeout bags" is 100% pushing religion on people. Is it a bored and religious employee trying to find a way to cope in the current crisis? Yes, probably. Still pushing their religion, though, and still unnerving due to context. Like, context is everything here. If it were an opt-in thing and OP just objected to the specific verses chosen, or if it were made by a family member who is of the same religion, then that would be fine. (A little weird, but fine.) Some rando shoving scripture at you with your food? Not fine! I'd check the food for signs of tampering, then complain to the restaurant about the writing if the food looked okay. As long as the food looked like it wasn't messed with and none of the verses related to eating, I'd probably eat the food? But I would not be ordering from there again during this. Re: seating couples together at weddings - it's normal in Canada, afaik. You seat people who know each other at the same table, or at least try to, so that they aren't completely isolated from anyone they know. Ideally, you seat them in a way that encourages conversation and discourages cliquey behaviour, but it would be considered unusual to seat someone at an entirely different table from their plus one or their spouse.

AITA for getting annoyed that my partners kid demands what I can and can't eat? So, partner has a child and they are dictating everything we do while they are with us. From demanding playtime, how they do school (since we are on lock down), what they want to eat.... All typical first grade age kid stuff right? I tend to roll my eyes and let my partner deal because they're not my kid and I can't be bothered with the hassle of them passing on to their mom that I'm being mean or whatever by telling them to stop being ridiculous. That's before we get onto them telling me what I can't eat because it's "theirs". I pay for what I eat. I can eat what I want, when I want... But it's making me feel like I can't eat when they are around because they make out I'm eating "their" food. It can be anything... cakes, chocolate, chips, drinks... You name it, and they see me eating it? It's theirs and I'm told not to eat any more... By the kid. I'm being guilted by a kid. It's getting to the point where I'm starting to have to bite my tongue because it's really making me angry that I pay for food and can't eat it when I want. Partner just shrugs it off and says the kid is just a kid.But it's more than that. I'm being made to feel like I can't eat stuff I've paid for when kid is around... So, AITA for being angry at this or am. I just overreacting?

Seriously. Isn't the point of Regency style that you spark more conversation among guests who don't know each other as well instead of having them clump into their own little existing groups? Like, that's something you do at a dinner of 8+ people in your nice dining room while footmen serve the 5 course meal.

That would work if it was two couples and no one between the two couples were related, but as one half of the other couple was my brother-in-law, by Regency rules, I also could not sit by him as we are related by marriage. This woman was nuts to the point where she "accidentally" fell into a Christian cult for some years so... I didn't really care about her antiquated etiquette rules.

Dramatika posted:This guy and the guy who wants to rat on his friend for cheating on a test 8 years ago - like, what are they actually hoping to accomplish? Of course they're the rear end in a top hat, there's literally nothing that bringing up old poo poo like that is going to do to make life any better at all for anyone. Oh, boo-hoo, she cheated on a test 7 years ago, and has since paid your rent, loaned you money interest free, forgiven some of those loans, and bought you food. Even if they did something less than honest a few years ago, they've been a great friend to you by the sound of it, and being petty and reporting it might cause some difficulty for them, but it will 100% torpedo a good relationship. And how could anyone ever possibly think that spilling the beans on the tattoo would do anything but cause useless drama? When I was in the Military there was this loving really Christian guy that had just come to my office. The dude was a clown in every conceivable way. He had 0 personality, no social skills, nothing. But I tried to befriend everyone I worked with so I invited him to this party I was having at my house. While at this party I was drunk as gently caress and we lit some everclear on fire which caused me to have a really big burn on my foot. I had to run my PT test 2 days later and obviously couldn't so I went to the hospital, got it treated, passed my test like a week and a half later. So the day after I passed my test new guy comes up to me and goes "Hey I know you lied about how you burned your foot, if you don't tell our supervisor the truth I will." and I was like "Hold the gently caress on...EXCUSE ME?" Oh I was livid with him, but at that point there was nothing I could really do (although in hindsight I wish I had called his bluff), so I told my supervisor about how I really burned my foot and you know what? Supervisor did not give a single gently caress. That was just one story of this guy, he was a real loving dumb gently caress and when he got kicked out after being in less than 2 years I was not surprised.

If this was a normal meal the response is "No, that is yours and this is mine." If it is a normal snack you offer the kid some. It is easy.
