Invisible Clergy posted:Prisons and homeless shelters will issue each person their own toothbrush. The people there (usually) aren't in a relationship where the implication is they'll be kissing and doing way grosser stuff already. I'm hoping they at least give the toothbrush a good cleaning between uses though...

AITA for not wanting my landlord to use my washer?quote:I admit I am a squeamish person in some respects. The situation here is that I am living rent free in exchange for taking care of an infirm relative. The other caretaker has his own washer and dryer, but is using mine (didn't ask, just asumed) to wash the patient's laundry, mainly bedding and incontinence pads. I don't know if this is a reasonable request or not, especially since "my" washer and dryer actually belong to the patient.

This girl wanted to marry you, and she's willing to gently caress a dipshit guitar teacher behind your back? You dodged a massive loving bullet, man. The really huge Super Mario kind with the eyes on the side, where you had to run and duck into the little divit to avoid shrinking. You did that. You got into that divit, and you're still super sized, and you can break blocks with your face. Now get out there and step on some loving turtles."

SomedoodIV posted:Some places are downright evil with employee discounts, in his defense. I've heard of places tracking employee discounts hard and firing for it at the drop of a hat, so his apprehension is understandable, especially if it's a clothing store since they tend to be the worst. I have a friend who works for Wesfarmers in Australia, they own supermarkets and a bunch of different retail stores. They're also infamous for being massive pieces of poo poo in every way to their staff. Just massive pieces of poo poo. Massive*. They also have a staff card and you must present the physical card to get the discount. This being the 21st century, most people just want to put the card numbers into their phone and get on with their lives. But the company insists it must be the actual card - I'm guessing from people giving out the number to friends and family. The company even have alerts set up in their system that tag any time a staff card is used so that some drone at head office can go and check the security footage for the transaction. If they get caught using a digital version of the card, that card is cancelled and the cardholder can get written up. But, what's incredibly lovely is that the poor bastard who's working the register when it happens can also be written up if they don't notice it. * massive

Sagebrush posted:No, you should expect to be able to back up anything you put on your resume. If you say you're fluent when you aren't, and you lose the job as a result, too bad for you. Yeah it might suck if it isn't relevant to the job, but maybe don't put random lies on if they aren't gonna make a difference? But at the same time, unless the job actually requires the language, sending someone over to test their fluency is needless gatekeeping. ESH. If it's not required for the job then why put it on your resumé at all. Where I live, testing a job applicant's second or even third language aptitude (mostly English and French) is pretty routine. I suppose that in the US it's not very important but in a lot of countries it is and lying about it is one of the dumbest things you can possibly do since most offices will at least have one person on hand that is actually fluent in another major European language (German, Spanish, Italian or even Russian). Simply put, don't lie on your resumé.

What relationship does the other caretaker have in relationship to the infirm relative? And to call them your landlord when you are a family member caring for them without the exchange of money? It's like they know it's crazy but they are wrapping it in words to make it seem like his landlord is using his washer for pee!!!!

I thought it sounded like the landlord is the other caretaker, who may or may not also be related to the patient. The OP says the landlord/caretaker has their own washer but it isn't clear if they live there too or if they have their own place. I'm guessing they have their own house which is where their washing machine is located, so of course they aren't going to cart someone else's laundry back to their place when there's a perfectly good washer right there. Which they presumably own if they're the landlord. I think you're right about the OP explaining it weirdly to make it less obvious they're wrong because this really makes no sense.

Tarkus V2.0 posted:I'm not sure but I think that's actually fair. I can't say I would ever claim to know a language that I didn't know. I can imagine that plenty of weebs would claim they know Japanese 'cause they know a few words or whatever and would put it on their resume. There's an edit where the OP covers that basically, "We're not robots, if this is like an American trying to understand a thick Scottish accent they can say, "Well it's english but I can't really understand it. If it's an American trying to understand Jamaican English they can say it sounds like a dialect but I have no idea." The OP sounds like they have it put together. In general I'm fine with that on a resume. Why put something on your resume as a skill you're bringing to the table if you aren't?

AITA for wanting to see my son?quote:I (30M) had a girlfriend in college who got pregnant when she was 19 and I was 20. I freaked out and (wrongly) blamed her for everything, and said there was no way I wanted to be a dad. I said I would take no part in anything, wouldn’t sign the birth certificate and wouldn’t pay child support. My dad said I’d have to sign my rights away or she could take me to court for a paternity test and child support anyway. So I told her I was going to do that, and she didn’t fight me. Insert reaping/sowing.

As long as the other person is willing and able to take on full financial and logistical responsibility for taking care of the kid, exchanging future support for not having to deal with the other person may well be worth it. Sounds like it was worth it here, imagine having to constantly chase this guy down to pay support, and then him coming back 10 years later and having a real potential claim on custody for the kid he hasn't given a poo poo about for a decade. It's not in the best interest of the child to deny them a source of funding. IIRC, someone has to take that responsibility if the bioparent is to be left off the hook.

My (19F) boyfriend (34m) didn't tell me about him having childrenquote:I found out through his ex wife messaging me on social media. We have been together for 3 months now. I have been to his house and I have him on social media and there were no signs of children on his social media accounts or at his house at all. When we met I really liked him because he was honest and I felt I could talk to him about anything. He is a nice guy and his wife treated him really poorly, he told me she cheated on him. They have been separated for 8 months, we have been together for 6. He moved out of the marital home into one of his bosses cottages at the mountain bike park he works at maintaining their vehicles.

Too bad that OP doesn't want to use a machine that other people's laundry has been in. Christ knows what sort of breakdown they'd have if they had to use a laundrette.

That's like some sovereign citizen "that one weird trick THEY don't want you to know" Child's best interest may be a high standard, but it's not an insurmountable one. If the mother wanted him gone and had enough family support to convince a judge they'd be fine without his support and disruption, and he agreed to that by expressing no interest in developing a relationship, then that could be enough. https://www.familylawselfhelpcenter.org/self-help/adoption-termination-of-parental-rights/overview-of-termination-of-parental-rights The actual reasons why it can be done are extremely broad and not hard to meet by a parent who wants to abandon their child, so if both parties are willing the only hurdle is "children’s best interest."
