All the stimulus talk going on reminded me of that story shared here about the landlord that signed into some government website using their tenants SSN and information to see if they'd received the check yet and demand rent from them. The tenant posted to try and get legal advice.

Did we ever get an update to that one?

Aita for judging how my friend “Plays” games

quote:

Ok I understand how I sound like an elitist dick here but let me make my case. My friend never experiences any game first hand. He will buy a game not to actually enjoy it but to say he’s played it. Every single player game he has ever played he will watch a let’s play and watch 5-10 minutes ahead and then play the game copying the lets players exact movements. It makes every bone in my body hurt as he has done it with games like red dead redemption and until dawn. I told him straight up that I can’t force him to do anything but I thought that he was kind of defeating the point of gaming. For all the non gamers and women here it’s like watching a film but before doing so you watch a summary of the film. My friend called me a dick and said that gaming is subjective. Aita?

AITA for telling my single mom sister she should get more realistic when it comes to her dating standards?

quote:

For context: My older sister 32(f) is a single mother of two (7m and 5f) because her marriage ended after 4 years. He is still around and pays child, but she's mostly raising the kids on her own.

She has been single for quite some time and recently tried to start dating again. My sister thinks of herself as a 'good catch' (college degree, well traveled, good job, above average looking) but after spending the last year not having much luck with dating she's getting frustrated. According to her only losers with credit card debt or a marijuana addiction are interested in her, and she asked me for a 'guy's opinion'.

I told her she should get more realistic when it comes to her dating standards. While she has a lot of things going for her most guys don't want to date single moms. It’s not that it’s her fault, but there’s a host of poo poo a guy can end up having to deal with, like the ex being a fixture in your life, the kid giving you poo poo about not being their real dad, you not being her first priority, etc.

My sister got bitter over this and hung up on me and is not returning my texts and calls.

AITA here?

Edit: Her standards are from what I gathered; tall, good looking guy with a good job (80k+), who is well traveled and has his own place/car, who understands that her children come first at all times and 'sweeps her off her feet after a long day'.

NTA. If the sister actually wanted to find a guy, she'd look for other divorcees with kids operating at a similar handicap.

AITA for laughing at my boyfriend (28M) getting poop stains on the bed?

quote:

I know this sounds like I'm trolling, but I promise that I am not.

My boyfriend is a healthy 28 year old man with no hygiene problems. We've been together for about 2 months, so its still new.

Yesterday we were fooling around in bed, and his pants were off. When he got up after we were done, there was a brown stain on the sheets where he was laying down. I was very confused at first... and after taking a closer look I realized its a literal poo poo stain. It wasn't there before. I screamed "EWWWW" and ran to the bathroom to wash my hands. When I returned to the room, he was red in the face and said he just didn't wipe well enough and went to the bathroom to wash up properly.

When he returned, I was dying laughing. There were tears in my eyes; I don't think I laughed this hard in months. What grown man literally gets skid marks on his sheets???

He asked me to stop but I just couldn't stop laughing for a good 5 minutes. I was HOLLERING. He went to bed all grumpy and hardly talked to me in the morning, until I left. He said I "embarrassed" him and he needs me to be kinder. He now won't answer my texts...

AITA? To be clear, I did NOT embarrass him or make comments about his hygiene. I just literally couldn't stop laughing.

EDIT to say: after I calmed down, I helped him change the sheets and dropped the subject.

Smearing poo poo all over your bed ≠ hygiene problems

Same, but I also feel a little bad for her about the “sweep me off my feet after a long day” part is probably an understandable wish for her. It’s just not a good thing to make your dating choices around

I mean, dating a single parent is rough. Wouldn't it be easier as a single parent to date another single parent? But no, that means you might actually have to work at poo poo instead of being in a romance novel.

Some women are really, really obsessed with the height of their partner. There was a story earlier where a women demanded her friend emergency bail her out of a date as though she were at personal risk because the dude wasn't as tall as she wanted.

I dated a woman who complained regularly that I just cleared her minimum height requirements (180cm or taller) and that she should have set her sights, ahem, higher and after a few weeks of this I dumped her.

That's it! Your partner doesn't need to love everything you do or watch all the same shows or be fascinated with the same poo poo you are.

I get that calling fake is generally white noise posting but that one was definitely incelbait, there were too many specifically thought-out details made specifically to provoke people into believing :biotruths:

Buy one of those cute mid-century stools that has a step built into it. If you have kids together it can double as a high chair if you use a belt.
