AITA for never returning my friend’s oven mitts

2 years for a set of oven mitts? If I left a spare set of like, oven mitts or tongs or whatever at my friend's house after they just moved in and forgot them, even if I remembered like 6 months later or whatever I would just ask "Hey do you even still have those?" and they said "yeah you left them here and I assumed it was a gift." I would honestly just say "Alright they're your problem now." The gently caress do you urgently need oven mitts for 2 years after you forgot them that can't wait to order them from like, amazon or whatever? Especially if your solution is "Mail them back to me and pay for it."

Maybe the friend has been eating cold lasagne for the past two years because of the OP's obliviousness. Just sadly watching the lasagne go cold in the oven, becasue they don't have oven mitts to get it out.

What? Like, a lady was pumping in the middle of an exam hall? Isn't that a lot of gear to set up, nevermind the whole privacy thing?

A pump's smaller than a volleyball and you could go in with the strap that holds the bottles to your breasts already on. If you had a loose top on, it'd be pretty easy to get everything in place and hit go on the pump.

It'd be awkward to write, because you don't want to be knocking the bottles off with the edge of the desk, though.

I've had lobster and you're not missing much. I mean, it's like a giant shrimp as far as taste and texture but a little milder and a little softer? Sometimes it's hard to tell under all the garlic butter. But it's not some kind of orgasmic food. Crab legs are about the same, just harder to get into. As far as seafood I really prefer shrimp, fried softshell crab or mussels unless it's in a sushi because then eel is the loving best.

The best lobster I ever had was on a lobster, bacon and arugula pizza. It was fantastic.

All that being said, I've never had oysters. I have watched a ton of food people try them and rave about them but the texture just looks horrific. I honestly think I would try them but I would gag 100% on trying to swallow it. I'd try them but none of my friends are food adventurers. They are all of the very safe food people so like, I'm the adventurous one ordering Indian food, ffs, it's just spicy chicken and spicy gravy plus rice.

I had lobster for the first time this year (that I remember) and while the meat bit was okay, the sauce I made from the shell bits was fantastic. And that was a pretty fresh one too.

Oysters are tasty - and if you eat mussels, then oysters will be fine.

Wait some people just own 'tea cups'' like it's 1900? I drink both coffee and tea and use mugs for both. Mugs are my warm fluid dispenser, also good for hot chocolate the one time a year it's made. The idea of some special cup just for tea is so weird to me.

Tea cups suck. You barely get a couple of mouthfuls and you have to go pour another cup.

It's a teaching opportunity. Tell her the meat is cooked to this doneness for a reason and try to sell the story, say you will be really happy if she's willing to try a piece, but that of course you will take the dish back and do it well done if she does not like it.

Have the piece be a relatively thin one, and if the pastry is so dark you can't just finish it in the oven then just hit the meat with a torch.

They made the point that they wanted to sit down and eat once it's cooked, not dick about in the kitchen because someone doesn't like pink meat, which is pretty reasonable, especially because they're primarily cooking for the friend paying and everyone else is along for the ride.

[b][AITA for not letting my mom use my grandmother's moniker for her grandkids/b]

I want a reality check here. I'm a Boomer, and my grandparents were Gramma [Momsname] and Gramma [Dadsname]. When I had kids, their grandparents followed the same pattern (where Momsname is Mom's maiden name and so on.) My husband's family had a grandmother who was called by the nickname my husband gave her when he was a toddler, and his other grandmother was always called "Nanny" by pretty much everybody but her children.

How recent is the idea of picking a grandparent name for each grandparent? Or is it subcultural, or has everybody else always been doing it?

When my nephew's were born, my sister's (now ex) in-laws told our mum which grandparent names they wanted to be called by - Nana and Pop, I think. Mum was like whatever.

She ended up with a cool made-up name given to her by the nephews and which our kids use too.

My in-laws are Atuk and Atuk Jantan, because my wife grew up Malaysia. Sometimes Atuk Jantan is Atuk Buncit, but not to his face.
