OtherMy garage is about 3 metres away from my neighbour's bedroom where their baby sleeps. I've got a roller door which beeps quietly four times within 20 seconds of me arriving home and pushing the b**ton. It's so quiet that at times I can't hear it when sitting in the room adjacent to the garage when my partner comes home. Since my neighbour had her baby, I've made an effort to be more conside...
OtherI (19F) have a sister, Nora (13F). Nora is cla*sified as being moderately gifted, bordering on highly gifted. However, Nora is incredibly arrogant and egotistical. She claims that other people are “intellectually inferior” and that they are, essentially, too s***id for her to a*sociate with. She would make similar comments about me until I got admitted to a selective university and began study...
Family ConflictMy dad lost his first wife over 20 years ago. My half-siblings (late 20s to early 30s) are his kids from that marriage. He met my mom three years after his first wife d*ed, and they got married and had me (17f). They were expecting my little brother when I was 2, but he was stillborn. My half-siblings never seemed okay with dad remarrying. This escalated recently when they confronted him ab...
OtherFor starters she’s 39 weeks, she’s literally about to pop. She also got the dog without consulting me, it was literally a spur of the moment thing with her, and not one time did I b**ch about it, or trip. He’s the loveliest Golden Lab mix with green eyes. I will say he’s a handful, and though our apartment is spacious, it’s only but so big. I feel like he sleeps most of the time, but when he’s...
OtherWe went to her parent’s house to watch the Super Bowl. Had food, some drinks, standard stuff. When the game was far out of reach I wanted to go home and said let’s go. This was with around 1:50 left. The Eagles had dumped Gatorade on their coach, celebrated on their sideline, and already put their backups in. She wanted to stay to watch all the stuff after the game. I don’t care about any o...

For her birthday, she asked that I make her lasagna cause she loves it so much and having it will complete her happy day, I agreed with no hasitation. The day before her birthday I got to work.

WorkI (30M) work in an office with a small team. A few months ago, my coworker Samantha (28F) had an emergency and had to leave work early. She was supposed to finish a report that was due the next morning, so she asked if I could help cover for her. I had some extra time, so I finished up her report and sent it in under both of our names to make sure she got credit. The next day, she thanked m...
OtherI’ve been friends with this guy named John, for around 2-3 years, we’re fairly close and John has always tried to let on hints that he might be interested in me. Despite that John knows that I’m in a longtime relationship with my boyfriend of around 4-years who we’ll call C. Now C trusts me and despite knowing that John might be interested, he lets me handle it by myself. I’ve tried to make ...

WorkMy (16f) school requires us to keep our cameras on during the entire cla*s. If we need to use the restroom we are supposed to privately message our teacher and ask to leave. I have absolutely no issue with these rules as I understand that online teaching is hard and you have to make sure everyone is attentive during cla*ses. We also have this system where at the end of the week every student is...
OtherI (29F) had a small bd dinner last weekend with my husband (31M), SIL “Lina” (27F), MIL and two friends at a normal but nice place. Lina’s an 'influencer". She films literally everything - plates, forks, ppl breathing. Three days before, I wrote in the family chat - please don’t film me. Food, room is fine, just not my face. She said “got u”. We sit down and within like 10 mins her phone is ...
OtherMe and my fiance were planning our wedding, and she had her invite list. I saw nothing wrong with it at first. Then... her friend's bf told me som**hing about it... that 5 of the guys were from her college and they had group s*x a few times. He told me that if he were me, he'd want to know, and I gotta buy him like 20 beers. So I never knew this about my fiance, and honestly, while I don't r...
