Huh? They were talking about the dude who knocked up his girlfriend while wearing a condom like he was supposed to at 16, made it clear he didn't want the child, was ignored by the mother, offered child support, moved on, and then is expected by this thread to say okie dokey and be a dad to this girl he never met or wanted because everything is black and white

There's a middle ground between "okey dokey me dad now" and "your mom's lied to you all your life now gently caress off permanently", and hoo boy does saying that last to a 16 year old make you an rear end in a top hat.

Not that a lot of it isn't on the kid's mom too, obviously there's some weird poo poo going on in her head, but the question was was that guy an rear end in a top hat and the answer is yes.

A lot (most/all?) of food safety rules are risk based. If you do something that has 0.01% chance of making you sick, you may go many years or forever without it ever happening to you and if it does, then only a few people at most get sick. If a restaurant does it, then it may happen multiple times a year, or to multiple people. If every restaurant did it, you’d have thousands of cases all of the time.

That said, no loving way I’d have cooked rice out for a week.

The bit I don’t understand is the comment around leaving eggs out for a few hours. Is this cooked or uncooked? We keep our eggs in the cupboard??

I was reading it as mom cracked the eggs into a bowl or whatever but didn't use all of it, because that was the only way I could understand anyone freaking out about it. But god knows with Redditors.

Remembered this other glorious r/rels roleplay post:

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:

Jeffnote: my hero

So we've been with eachother for 6 years. Our sex life is just as good as when it started, I just wanted to try out some kinkier stuff so I suggested roleplaying. Kevin (husband) was somewhat open to the idea, but also thought it was a bit ridiculous. This is something I've always wanted to try, sort of like a fetish. So we got a few costumes, a Cop outfit and a Spy trenchcoat for him, and a nurse and cheerleader outfit for me. All of our roleplaying revolves around one person being in character, and the other interacting with them.

But he takes his roles as a joke! He goes intentionally extreme with the roles. I know he thinks it's a bit ridiculous, and I know he has more fun when he does this, but I want a real roleplay!

For example, when he dressed up as the Cop, he was supposed to do a stop and frisk, arrest me, etc, but in a sexy way. But instead, he kicks open the door, screams "HANDS UP THIS IS A RAID" and basically tackles me to the bed (this is OKAY it's NOT ABUSE we have rough dom/sub sex all the time), handcuffs me, literally reads me my Miranda Rights, leaves me there and rummages through the drawers throwing stuff everywhere, pulls out a little baggy of weed and goes apeshit like a cop might. I play a long, try to get him to 'let me go' if I can do sexual favours for him. Then we have some rough sex with handcuffs and everything. The actual sex was good but he kept speaking into his fake radio calling for backup, when I was on top he would shout OFFICER DOWN OFFICER DOWN.

With the Spy outfit he would come in and check me for wires and do the whole Pink Panther thing where he says "It is lovely weather we are having" while sneaking to the drapes and then beating the drapes up. I was envisioning a more James Bond-eqsue seduction.

Like, I like the sex, it's good, but I wanted a more porn-like experience. And it was kinda funny but not what I thought. And I KNOW that he thinks roleplay is ridiculous, and that he is trying to have fun with it but I feel like he doesn't know what I want. And I don't hate him for it, he's a big fuckin goofball in or out of our roles, but I want to have MY experience. How can I tell him this?

Nothing. Same as anything else in a disney park. There's only one of them for the millions of people who go there every year, so it's exclusive and very expensive, like a room at the Burj Al Arab, which also charges you to even see one of their rooms. Plus it's got a reputation and is the center of many urban legends, like many of the areas at disney parks that have lore spring up around them. I'm sure historical happenings are supposed to have taken place there and/or if you stay there you can talk to walt's ghost or will emerge with magical powers or some such. Even without any of those things, i'm sure it's a nice room.

Probably a common thing, people ordering drinks not thinking about the cost because they're used to a certain bar atmosphere. Reddit has multiple tales of people ordering on someone else's tab, or ordering thinking someone was covering it and getting hit with a bill.

Really sucks but I would think any bar no matter how high end would tell a guy just walking in and ordering a round costing over $1000 what the liquor is. Even those fancy craft cocktail places will give a pitch and spiel about how great and rare the liquor is when ordering a expensive drink. Or something as simple as "Oh, they're drinking the 35 yr aged special reserve, you want 4 double shots correct?" and anyone so ignorant in the ways of alcohol who doesn't pick up on that yet still orders drinks that way deserves what they get.

The guy would probably have thought he was an rear end in a top hat if he said "hey this is expensive stuff you know" instead. Oh, you're saying the stuff you drink is too expensive for me are you? rear end in a top hat!

AITA for pregnancy/babyproofing my house?

quote:

My wife and I are pregnant with our first child, and we couldn’t be happier about it. I’ve already been feeling left out of our pregnancy due to my wife’s behavior so I was particularly upset that she/the baby would be going on a full week business trip only a few weeks after the good news, but I kept my mouth shut about it because her work plans are already a sore subject.

I thought it would be a great time to start pregnancy/baby proofing the house, that she’d be excited to see the nursery/house adjustments when she came back, one less thing for her to worry about. The whole week I spent all my evenings clearing out the room we’d marked for the nursery, painting, putting together furniture, etc. It also seemed like an ideal time to make arrangements for the things my wife can’t use since she’s pregnant—particularly stuff for a sort of dangerous hobby she picked up a while back. When she moved in to my house, she gave me an ultimatum about letting her bring several hives of bees with her, under the agreement that they would stay far from the house. It already made me so so uncomfortable to watch her messing with them when it was just her, but obviously if anything went wrong, being attacked by tens of thousands of bees would easily kill our unborn baby, and likely her as well. And of course they can't be here when we have a baby! I know she’s developed an attachment to them, so saying goodbye would be really difficult, and figured it would be best to take care of that while she was gone so she wouldn’t have the double upset of having to watch them go.

I have a friend who’d mentioned wanting to get into the bee business (apparently it can be lucrative to lease them to farms), and he was happy to take them off my hands, so a guy he knows who’s an experienced beekeeper helped us move them. Open and shut, I thought. When my wife got home and saw they were gone, she absolutely lost her mind when I explained. Complete screaming hysterics. I’ve absolutely never seen her close to that upset, and I was genuinely freaked out while I was trying to calm her down. She packed a bag and left, completely refusing to tell me where she was going.

I then get a call from my friend who had the bees, completely freaked out because my wife had showed up at his house with her brother, his truck, and a police officer, insisting he give them back to her. I rushed down there and explained to the cop that the bees were my wife’s, and we’re married so legally we share anything that belongs to either of us and it was legal for me to give them away, and that she’s pregnant and obviously can’t tend to them, so they were going to get neglected anyway. The cop completely refused to listen to me and told my friend to give them back. My wife and her brother left with them, and she’s still refusing to take my calls.

I’m still in utter shock at the crazy scene she pulled, I know hormones make you nuts when you’re pregnant but this is so wildly out of character for her. Did I not do what literally any husband and father would??

People often don't remember how loving stupid they were when they were kids. There's a big difference between a 10 year old and a 17 year old. It does sound like she's remorseful and she's probably right about her reasoning about why she did it, kids don't think through what they're doing very well, hence why raising them well is important.

She could ask the grandparents to ask the brother or even just write a letter with an apology and if he responds, it is up to him. She can't blame herself forever and ever, nor should the brother hate his sister forever either.

Yeah, the parents (and possibly the grandparents) are 100% controlling the narrative here. Who knows how much truth they're telling her, or what they're saying to him? She was a lovely 10 year old, but she was 10, and that whole family situation is well past hosed-up. Though I'd advise getting away from her family, getting a shitload of therapy and then apologising (and taking it gracefully if he still doesn't want to know).
