Scags McDouglas posted:I'm still relatively certain that the whole "stack of dollar bills I slowly deplete as punishment" thing is largely an urban legend. I mean surely it's happened but I think in reality most people would rather stiff a server at the end and escape, not make some weird show. I've worked as a server and never actually heard it credibly happening in the wild. A friend of mines father would do this at any restaurant he ate out at. He was not welcome in any restaurant in his home town except fast food places. Youd think he might have clued in that these were related concepts but nope!

Here's a fun one. AITA for making my step-sister and step-mom look for my “lost” necklace? quote:Throwaway cause relatives on Reddit. I (17F) have a necklace that was made for me by a friend who does wirewrapping. It’s the prettiest thing I own and my friend moved last year so it’s my memory of her. My dad married his gf last year and her daughter (15F) and I don’t get along. She’s annoying and whines about everything and she always wants to borrow my stuff and then loses or breaks it or something. My step-mom just enables that and gives her whatever she wants to shut her up it’s dumb.

Mom and Sister absolutely suspect what's going on but they can't prove it. "Finding" the necklace is doom. Just hide it at a friend's until you move away forever.

Kurieg posted:Also, I'm willing to bet his "If I have to look at a character they have to be hot" logic doesn't apply to male characters. Everytime a man says this, it's a lie. They pick female characters because they have nicer cosmetic choices to play pretty dress up, but if a guy admits this they're treated badly, so they give a DudeBro lie to save face

I play female characters because I want to play Pretty Princess Dress-Up, as one glance at my 'downloaded mods' history would confirm.

Youd think he might have clued in that these were related concepts but nope! Huh, I stand corrected. God bless the collective managers who banned him for life, which is absolutely the correct policy. I'd loving adore being the person who walked up to ol' table-dollars and said to quietly collect them and leave because nobody's making their food and they're never welcome back.

They absolutely refused to play a Worgen because "he couldn't play a woman he wouldn't want to gently caress" and "he hated skinny bitches." This information was offered, loudly and unprompted, often when it was completely tangential to the conversation at hand. Also Wow character customization.... was very much "not" pretty dress up at the time. E: having done a cursory googling, class specializations in Black Desert Online are gender locked(Which is it's own gigantic kettle of fish and an endemic problem with Korean MMOs), so if there's a job he wanted to play then yeah, he may have had to play a woman. Which doesn't make "designing your mandatory female character to look as much like your girlfriend as possible in an MMO" any less weird.

The fact that it was offered, loudly and unprompted, often when it was completely tangential to the conversation at hand makes it extremely sound like some kind of loud NOHOMO dude bro kabuki.

the holy poopacy posted:this is a problem in gender discourse, yes I knew a guy like that IRL, he assumed that just because most of the answers came up "default" I must not have really tried to figure myself out, and would jump on anything that didn't fit the stereotypical straight toxic masculinity as "proof". In a way I get it; you find something that really works for you and makes things easier you didn't know were difficult, it can be hard not to assume it's the same for everyone. I got like that for a while with my CPAP, pouncing on anyone who yawned near me that they should get it checked out.

Kung Food posted:I've known the term less than a day, and already it feels like gender essentialism but from the other side. It absolutely is, it's been getting so loving annoying online. A guy likes to wear pink? A gal likes to watch football? Must be an Egg! It's just 1950s style strict gender roles all over again. People on the internet these days are so obsessed with trying to fit people into neat & tidy clearly labeled boxes Sorry for getting worked up, it's just I've had so many drat people assume I'm trans or non-binary right to my face, just because I'm secure in my sexuality. It's really rude and off-putting to have people decide my own life for me

AITA for not taking off work to get our daughter and calling my ex's girlfriend manipulative?quote:I'm 31 years old. I grew up in a very strict household with outdated beliefs. My mother stayed at home and father worked. My parents were toxic and always tried to convince me that my purpose was to get married, have kids and be a housewife. No offense to anyone who is a housewife. The problem with my parents though is they were misogynistic and felt women belonged in the kitchen. This was a huge conflict I had with them and caused resentment as I got older, moved out, graduated college and started working as a nurse. Eventually, I did meet someone and get married. We have a 4 year old daughter together which she was fully planned.

Soylent Pudding posted:AITA for tipping our waitress 20 dollars despite her poor service, because my date was playing a "game" with her tips? Ugh. Never been in a situation this dumb (sounds like this person was straight-up dating a Patrick Bateman), but I've been on dates where the other person was an rear end to the wait staff and had an attitude about how much to leave for a tip, and it's always off-putting and a bit embarrassing. My rule is to *always* tip 20% rounded up to the nearest dollar, no matter what, and in recent years (what with inflation and stagnant wages being how they are) I've started going up to 25%. If your service at a restaurant sucks (wrong order, food took forever to get there, etc.) it's likely not the waiter's fault anyway. There can be all sorts of fuckups in the kitchen or on management's part that can lead to slow service.

AITA for not eating the dinner my in-laws insisted I order?quote:I(34M) am married to my wife(35F). I have always struggled with my weight growing up. My parents passed away when I was 8 years old and my Aunt took care of me. She had a very high demanding job and would feed me fast and junk food. When I went to high school, I weighed over 200lbs and after graduation, I was at 250. My senior year of college, I weighed about 350lbs and decided to make a change. i still think puking all over the table is a power move you can always go for

AITA for telling my wife one month postpartum she needs to pull her weight?quote:So my wife (28) and me (31 M) welcomed our first kiddo into the world a month ago! I make enough to provide for now so she quit her job during her pregnancy to stay at home for an indefinite amount of time. I only got a couple of weeks off after she gave birth so I do understand so that I could take care of our little man while she focused on healing and nursing. Now that I am back to work, things are getting more difficult.
