Any guesses as to the age of the father's wife? I'm guessing 20 as she seems to feel as though she's close in age to the daughter (which she probably is) and wants to be friends.

I don't think I've ever heard a worse idea than letting your step daughter know that you'll be hanging onto her rejected vibrator just in case she wants to ask you for it later. "Hey stepmom, so about that vibrator you've been holding onto for me--I'm thinking about having a sexual awakening."

The question OP has is not interesting, but the "complicated long-distance relationship" she blows past is definitely an online feeder/feedee or mukbang thing, right?

The franchising fee alone for a Red Robin is $35,000. That's before you get into buying their signage, dishware, approved furniture, etc. Lazy Googling shows that the low end estimate for opening a Red Robin is $1.8 million. You're not sticking it to some small time business owner, anyone opening a Red Robin likely has significant funds or enough support to access large lines of credit.

She literally demanded only her teenage niece babysit him and refused to ask any of the numerous other adults including the baby's father.

I know a frequent theme is the attitude of 'unattached female = free babysitting forever' itt but holy cow, never seen it to a frankly obsessive degree.

I dunno if the teen had teenage girl rebellion streak going on, but if it did, it absolutely helped her stand her ground.

This kinda sounds like the stepmom is close in age to the kid and wants to be a friend and not a paternal figure, which I think is the right play for someone who's 13 years difference from the daughter. But, there's being cool (have a beer, lets chat) and there's being fukken weird and this is it. Like goddamn lady, you buy them a hefty gift card and don't ask questions about the boxes that show up.

I had a good sensible chuckle to myself when I gender swapped it in my head whereby the mother's new husband gave the 16 year old boy a fleshlight. I think we'd find it a much more repellent story if that were the case.

I think we're all losing sight of the true moral of that story: All ENTs are predatory demons who resent their patients for seeking medical care and punish them for it.

In my experience ENTs seem to avoid providing care as much as possible. At my hospital they even started to refuse to perform tracheotomies on covid patients. That's like the most common surgical procedure they do!

I've never seen someone upset over getting a refund or money back from an online order with something wrong. I'm usually a little excited when my order is a little wrong from a chain restaurant, local joints, more lenient, but if McDonald's forgets something or they give me something wrong -- sweet, can probably become not-hungry by eating whatever they did bring and they'll refund some, all, or more than you paid.

I wonder if that person would also hesitate or always refuse to point out something wrong with a meal dining-in, where it would presumably be immediately remade or addressed. I've thrown away expensive steaks because they were cooked wrong or something and ya aren't supposed to be able to put anything that's gone out to a guests back on a grill. My hesitation as a diner is more about the psychic echoes of parents reminding that any food I waste translates directly to starving children abroad.

I usually dont send stuff back at a resteraunt unless its really bad. The only time I did in recent memory is a hamburger where the bun was rock hard. If something wrong with to go or delivery ill email a complaint and secretly hope to get something free but I dont ask for it and I wouldn't feel bummed if I didnt get anything.

AITA for laughing after my brother lost a game of chess.

quote:

My girlfriend is a chess master; which basically means she’s really loving good at chess. My brother recently got into it, and seems to believe that he is the smartest loving person alive for understanding how the game works as only “smart people can truly understand the art of chess” (his exact words)

My girlfriend and I went to my brother’s house to pick up some things. I’m under the impression that my brother believes my girlfriend to be a causal chess player. When he learned that my girlfriend played chess, he challenged her, remarking “it would be nice to teach a pretty girl about the art of chess,” and “she could learn a few things from him,” My girlfriend was more amused than offended and took his offer.

The game was over in literal seconds.

I don’t really understand how chess works, but I do know that he was checkmated in 9 moves. I found this all kinda funny; the change in his demeanour from overconfident to defeated so I laughed. It was even funnier when he accused my girlfriend of cheating (how do you cheat in chess?) and said that she must have been lying etc. So, a few more laughs left my mouth. My girlfriend gave me a look so I stopped laughing, but he kicked us out anyway.

My SIL is mad at me for laughing and at my girlfriend for not being more gentle in her win, claiming that she was purposefully showing off her skill.

Oh no you beat a MAN you should have been gentle on him! His poor bruised ego!

When I was in grade 9 I was into playing chess. I thought I was an ok player. One day I was at the downtown library and lots of hobos would spend their time playing checkers and chess. They saw me watching and asked if I wanted to play. Me being cocky thought that scraggly hobos couldn't be very good so I played one of them. That dude kicked my rear end over and over again in an barrage of embarrassingly short games. Never forgot that lol
