I like how she explains the entire situation and that the dude did in fact work for housing and she was in fact supposed to have her dog on a leash, then one sentence later calls him a creepy guy who harassed her again

Ok y’all, down for some input on the below proposed guidelines Derails: With that, if I or another fool that’s an IK request a ceasefire on a derail, it isn’t for a probefest, but if it’s a probefest you want, it’s one you’ll get. I believe in giving someone a fair shot, but if you ignore a warning and get a sixer…I don’t want to hear it cause I know what I’ve done. Fake stories: yeah some of these are some clown college attempts at writing. I don’t want every page filled with “FAKE. PHONY” so calm down Holden Caulfield. If it’s something you can hilariously debunk (like for instance, someone saying an event took place on Feb 31st), that’s fine. But if crying fake gets excessive or it’s the only drat thing being posted, I’ll enforce the “post another drat thing, then” rule. I presume that this is a self explanatory rule. Other things to keep in mind: goons are, and have always been, rather diverse and of all spots and stripes. This is more apparent in a post-Lowtax era and honestly? Good. I urge you to be cognizant of that in this thread. How you act upon that is your own choice, but understand that some people won’t have the same experience as you and that poo poo happens. You may have a bit more needed to understand them, or conversely, other goons might not (or obstinately refuse to) get it. Have as much patience as needed or deserved. Some goons can, will, and want to learn and grow. Others will cling to their mudpit of idiocy as they know of nothing more and insist on making you a resident there. Expend energy accordingly, but if you need a second pair of eyes, don’t hesitate to DM me or email me at someawfulwitch at geemale dawt calm. I don’t have access to mod reports so that is usually the most expedient way of getting my attention outside of the Cuervo gold and the fine Columbian. wise bards once said “you and me baby ain’t nothing but mammals, so let’s do it like they do on the discovery channel (build and document a thriving ecosystem of goons in their tall begoatsed towers, mocking redditors below for a laugh)”

caterpillaropera posted:AITA for reporting someone I thought was creepy… now I’m the one in trouble Honestly I'm willing to forgive a lot in that story on the basis of '18 year old living alone for the first time' because everyone has hosed up something that's pretty straightforward in adult life just because its their first time on encountering that thing, but getting home safe, reflecting on the encounter, and *still* calling the police really is something.

quote:The big catch, my mom isn’t willing to help pay for anything for the baby since it will not be her responsibility once it’s born. I had argued, told her to give the baby up for adoption and she thinks that heartless, because the baby, when they find out they’re adopted, will think their birth family hated them and wanted nothing to do with them. Well, the baby sure as hell wouldn't be wrong about their biological parents.

Double post for content: AITA for hiding mu candy bowl when I leave from work? quote:I 23f have a candy bucket that I fill up at work. I buy the candy with my own money. I used to leave the bucket on my desk even after I left work but I've started coming in and seeing the bucket completely empty. And this isn't a small bucket either, it's a bowl candy dish the size of a dinner plate and about 5 inches deep and I only work with 3 other people on my floor. It's fine that people are enjoying the candy but I know it's not normal to run out this much. I asked my coworker Nia about it and she said she saw someone from another department empty the bowl into their purse. I was a bit pissed so I decided that I'd put the bowl away when I left to clock out. Today I came in to a nasty note on my desk saying that if I don't want people to have the candy then to just not put it out period since I wanna police people. Nia says it is still my candy and I'm choosing to share but my other coworkers are saying that it comes with territory of offering candy freely. I don't know, am I an rear end here?

teen witch posted:Ok y’all, down for some input on the below proposed guidelines I think these are good rules and guidelines. This is the thread I spend the most time in on the forums and I really loving hate the derails. Obviously discussion is fine, but I'm sure I'm not the only person who has scrolled through entire pages of 3 posters arguing about tipping, vegans, child support, or whatever while looking for the bold text that indicates actual content. Similarly, the fake story callouts are a cousin of the same kind of pedantic "well ackshually" posting that constitutes most of the derails, so no loss there either. You are a tireless and highly active IK and this thread is better for having you in it, teen witch!

send in the clowns AITA for telling my girlfriend her clown makeup is embarrassing? quote:My gf and I are both women. Since I was in highschool, I've been really into wearing makeup. When I have lots of time in the morning, I can spend an hour+ on my face. My girlfriend on the other hand is very anti-makeup. She thinks it's a tool of oppression/shouldn't be required of her to wear in public, etc. My boyfriend (17M) of about 3 years wants to be a clown… I (17F) am afraid of clowns… quote:So this whole thing started a few months back when my boyfriend, C, off-handedly commented on wanting to be a clown. He didn’t sound super serious, so I kind of brushed it off because I’m afraid of clowns and wouldn’t that suck if he decided he wanted to be one? He’s had other career interests; detective, film director, etc. so I thought it would be fine. A Wizard of Goatse fucked around with this message at 16:03 on Oct 21, 2021 |

Same, though my gut says this person probably wouldn't have been as upset with a groomsman wearing glasses in the pictures. OP was way too polite honestly, I don't think I'd stop until the MIL is the one loving off.

The older I get and the more I get to know wasp-y people like my grandma and other boomers, the more frustrated I get with how obvious it is that vanity is most of what they ever cared about above all else. Ironic because she dresses like absolute poo poo, with tucked-in shirts where her pants go up to her goddamn chest. Also pretty much no one talks to her regularly because she sucks and is constantly dismissive and condescending about real problems you have.
