"Down" as in Down used to make pillows, usually got from Ducks and Geese, so "Bog-Down" would be something similar harvested in a bog.

I’m (44M) a pretty simple guy. I don’t try to make my bedroom this grandiose thing. My style choice is making the bed so it looks nice and simple, with no extra fluff or decorative pillows. When my fiancée (43F) and I moved in together, she started putting some blue decorative pillows on the bed. I have to admit, it wasn't bad. She asked me how I felt about it, and I told her honestly that I actually liked the changes. She then asked, "What about pink pillows?" I simply stated no. There are really only two colors I don't like as decor: pink and yellow. Pink because I've just never been a fan of that shade, and yellow because it triggers a very bad childhood memory for me. This conversation happened 3 years ago, and over the years she would occasionally make comments about it, so I know she never forgot my stance. The Issue A few weeks ago, she bought a bunch of pink pillows for the bedroom and the living room. It bothered me to no end. I figured I'd try to just get used to it, so I decided not to bring it up. Lately, I haven't really been hanging out in the living room or the bedroom like I used to. Instead, I've been retreating to the only room in the house that isn't completely turning pink: the garage, which we semi-converted into a second living room. (It still has 2 pink pillows, but that beats the 6 in the main living room and the 4 in the bedroom). The Confrontation For some necessary context: We've been getting into fights almost every weekend lately. I will say or do something stupid, and she will go off on me, saying things like, "You don't let me be a person." Because of this, I've been trying really, really hard to hold my tongue when I have issues with her and just be supportive. Yesterday, she noticed my withdrawal to the garage and explicitly asked for my opinion on the new decor. Because she asked directly, I didn't feel like lying. I told her the truth: I absolutely hate the pink in the living room and the bedroom. She went off on me again, repeating that I am "not letting her be a person," and explicitly told me that she has decided my opinion no longer matters. I tried to keep the peace and just avoid the rooms, but when asked directly, I answered honestly. How should I handle this? UPDATE: We finally sat down and really talked about everything that is going on, and we got to the root of the issue. As I mentioned in some of my comments, she moved down here from Alaska right before COVID hit. Because of the lockdowns, she missed out on that crucial window when you move to a new place to go out, see things, and meet people. As a result, her mental state regarding living down here is almost entirely negative. She doesn't have any actual friends locally. Honestly, I don't either anymore, because my own friend group kind of exploded shortly after she moved down. Because of this isolation, she has placed a lot of the blame on me for the move—even though it was a mutual decision we made to get her away from her abuser. The reality is that the underlying trigger for our weekend fights, regardless of how small the actual inciting incident is, comes from the fact that she is profoundly unhappy living here. She is only staying because the three kids have established their lives here in the Peoria area. She misses hanging out with her friends, going shopping, and constantly changing up the decoration and furniture in the house like she used to do up north. When I pushed back on the pink pillows, she saw my color restrictions as me trying to take away the very last thing she does that actually brings her joy. I explained to her that I am absolutely not trying to take away her joy. She explained that the pink is just temporary, and what she really needs is the freedom to change the colors of the living room and bedroom with more frequency, rather than our standard "no changes until Christmas" routine. Now that I understand what this actually represents for her, I agreed to find room in our budget to make that happen. submitted by /u/epyoch to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

I am not The OOP, OOP is u/I_heart_cheesealot AITA for refusing to change my car bc it embarrasses my brother Originally posted to r/AmItheAsshole TRIGGER WARNING: Misogyny Original Post June 16, 2024 I (17f) am quite literally the stereotype of when a teenager gets their first car. My parents paid for my car, and I paid for all the interior decorations (with the exception of the seat covers) My car is white on the outside and has pink leather seat covers, covers, blankets and pillows in the back and cute charms hanging everywhere. So my brother (16M) is an athlete and because my parents are tired I drive him to his 5 am practices to help them out. My brother has told me he hates my car, asked me to change it, and has thrown out some of my charms and blankets because he “hates driving in a girly car” when I said no. I sat him down to ask him why he does this and he says he embarrassed whenever I drop him off and pick him up. I asked him if he was getting made fun of at all and he said he wasn’t, and I have met all his teammates and coaches and they do not seem like the type to tease someone for something like this. Now I would understand this completely except for the fact my brother refuses to get his license because he “doesn’t feel like it.” My parents said that if he got his license they would pay for his car, gas, etc. but he just doesn’t want to, resulting in me or my parents driving his around everywhere. Because he has the option to get his license and just chooses not to, I don’t think that it’s fair for him to complain about my car when I get him to and from practices at 5:00 am everyday, and I normally buy him breakfast too because I know he is hungry (I don’t ask him for gas money either) since he doesn’t have a job. I told him this and asked him to pay me for the thrown out charms and blankets, which is around $30. He went ballistic and said that it was unfair to him, and threatened to rip my expensive seat covers if I didn’t change the car. My parents are on my side but said that maybe I could get rid of some of the pink for him. So AITA? VERDICT: NOT THE ASSHOLE RELEVANT COMMENTS Big_Country_124 Nta stop driving his ungrateful ass anywhere [deleted] Give him some roller skates. Barbie ones. ~ ProfessorYaffle1 NTA you are doing him a huge favour. Let him know that as he hates driving in your girlie car, he no longer has to. He can organise a different way to get to his early practices. Also, unless your parents have made clear to him thst he needs to replace your property which he destroyed, they aren't really on your side. What did they do about him stealing/ destroying your stuff? ~ Veteris71 OP, i'm concerned that you've been conditioned to accept abusive behavior toward you. it's very disturbing that after your brother stole from you, destroyed your things, and threatened to do it again, you are still getting up crazy early to give him free rides, and buying him breakfast and so on. Why? is this how you're going to let a boyfriend or a husband treat you? Also, please don't gaslight yourself. Your parents are very clearly not on your side. OOP Yeah this was honestly such a big wake up call. Like reading the comments made me realize how I have normalized to accept this behavior from guys, and how my parents are definitely not actually helping me in this scenario. I will be taking extra precautions going forward. OOP Updated the post June 20, 2024 (4 days later) UPDATE: it’s been a few days, and thanks for all the support! After reading the comments I had a sit down with my parents and had a talk with them about this issue. They tried to kind of defend my brother I cut them off as soon as they tried, and blatantly told them that this was a bigger issue than just a girly car but one rooted in sexism and disrespect. It was a long talk, around 2 hours of me just essentially saying what all the comments were saying, and telling my mom specifically I will not tolerate sexism, misogyny, and disrespect that is rooted in machismos culture. By the end they were quiet and I told them that until my brother apologized, got his permit, and payed me back for everything I wouldn’t be helping. They said they understood and apologized to me, and it seemed sincere enough. Then I told my brother that I wouldn’t be driving him anymore, and he looked confused but I told him that my mom and dad could explain if even after all this he didn’t understand. The next day I was out with a friend and when I came home my brother came up to me and asked if we could talk. Of course I said and we went to his room, where I saw 3 new blankets and some new plushies that I used to keep in my car, and he gave me $100 (from his savings) and had a talk where he apologized for trashing my things, and thanked me for everything I did. He said that my mom and dad talked with him about these issues plus the internal sexism and never realized how degrading this was. He apologized again and said that he would work on it, so whatever my parents said got through to him. Honestly it was probably one of the most genuine apologies I’ve ever received so I accepted it but still made it clear I wouldn’t be helping him out, which he understood. He actually signed up for drivers Ed today, and is scheduled to get his permit next month! My parents started taking him to practice in the early mornings and are feeling it haha. I’m super grateful it ended up this way, and I will be redecorating my car to make it safer! Thanks everyone!

Edit: see edits and additional hypos at the end of this post! You are offered a job in a standard office building, a 10 minute drive from your home. You will make a salary of $500k per year. You will receive a 5% raise for every year of employment. Every year, you receive 3 weeks paid time off, 5 sick days, and standard bank holidays off (Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.). You also receive standard health benefits. The dress code is business casual. Your shift begins at 9am, and ends at 5pm each weekday (M-F). You are paid bi-weekly (every two weeks). Once per year, there is an all expense paid, 7-day long, company retreat in a foreign country. During the retreat, you will fly first class, stay in luxury accommodations, eat gourmet food with other employees of the company, and participate in optional activities (tours of sites, shows, concerts, cultural experiences, recreational activities like jet skiing, parasailing, etc.). You may bring 1 person of your choosing to the company retreat. Attending the company retreat is optional, but if you chose not to attend, you must work during those 7 days. However, your work entails staring at a screen, alone in a private office, for 8 hours per day. You have access to a computer, but the only material loaded is written published books (novels, memoirs, biographies, etc.) that were written prior to 1950, which you are welcome to read at your leisure. There are no other features on the computer (internet, note taking, messaging, etc.). However, there is a simple portal where you can type written messages to your manager to ask questions, request time office, etc. You are not permitted to speak to your manager about anything non-work related, and you will never meet them in person. You work in a private, 10x10x10, sound proof, climate controlled office with no windows nor decorations. You must close and lock the door behind you when you occupy your office. A desk, chair, computer, a single power outlet, thermostat, mouse, keyboard, a silent digital clock hanging on the wall, and computer screen are the only objects in the office. The lights cannot be controlled by you, and are on during your entire shift. You can, however, control the temperature within the office. You may not bring anything with you into your office, besides your body and clothing (no phones, other people, music players, books, food, water, coffee, notepads, pillows, blankets, etc.). You may not leave the office except for two snack / water / bathroom breaks (15 min each) and one lunch break (30 minutes), which may be taken at any time during your shift. During your breaks, you may not access your phone, internet, or any other objects (beyond those provided within your office), nor can you leave the building. You may only use the restroom or eat a lunch / snack / drink (provided by the company, free of charge). There are other people in the office, but they all have the exact same job as you - you may interact with them as you wish during your breaks. There is a small, windowless cafeteria within the building with restrooms, tables, chairs, a clock, sink, a coffee machine, and a fridge filled with pre-packed food items, where you may eat your lunch, socialize, rest, etc. Your break begins the moment you exit your office, and you must be back in your office at the end of the permitted time. During your time in your private office, you may sit at your desk, move around the room, lay on the ground, sleep, exercise, and really do anything you wish except for tampering with, taking apart, or destroying any of the objects within the room. You are not required to read the material loaded on the computer if you do not want to. If there is an emergency situation (family emergency, extreme sudden illness, etc.) you will be notified and permitted to leave if you wish. However, if you leave early, this will be deducted from your PTO. You may also take half-days, if desired, but these will also be deducted from your PTO balance. You must be employed in this role for a minimum of one year. After one year, you may quit at any time and you will keep all earnings. However, if you quit prior to your one year contract or you if break any of the above outlined rules at any time (bringing in an unpermitted object, taking an extra break, leaving the building, exceeding allotted PTO, etc.), you automatically be fired from your role and will owe the company $500k. Would you take this position? Edits: 1) the dress code is business casual (no jeans, hoodies, sweat pants, etc.). Think dress shirts, pants, dresses, sweaters, blouses, etc. You must wear appropriate workwear that is expected in a typical office, so no puffy coats, trench coats, strange / unique clothing, or many / multiple layers, allowed in the office. A diaper would be permitted. Also, you may not shit / pee in your private office (why would you want to??), as this counts as destruction. 2) the creators / operators of this hypothetical company do not follow nor recognize any applicable employment or working condition laws. For example, you cannot demand accommodations to allow additional breaks due to a medical condition. 3) the office building contains small lockers where you may store personal items (keys, wallets, jackets etc.). Upon entering the building, you must place your personal belongings into this cubby and you cannot access these items until your shift is over. Fun loopholes yall have found: 1) Building a “nest” of extra articles of clothing (scarves, sweaters, etc.) to create a makeshift bed. You are only allowed to bring clothing into your office, but my post makes no mention of leaving things behind. You could, for example, wear a sweater everyday and leave it behind at the end of the day. After a while, you could tie them together to build some sort of makeshift bed. 2) Using articles of clothing to block out light. My original post states you may not destroy the room, but it did not say you aren’t allowed to alter the room. You could, hypothetically, bring a scarf to the office and use it to block the light and create better sleep. Fun things to consider: 1) Many have mentioned you can reverse your sleep and work cycles. For example, sleep during your shift and live your life during the nights. This is certainly possible, but your sleep would likely be very poor quality, as you’re sleeping on the floor in a bright room with no pillows or blankets. 2) The automatic firing rule. Remember if you break ANY rule at any time, even unintentionally, you will be fired and you must pay $500k. This is a huge risk. What happens if you bring a cough drop in your pocket by accident? Take an extra 30 second break? You would be fired and forced to pay $500k. Alternative hypos to consider: 1)You can amend your employment contract where, for double your yearly salary (so $1 million / year), you will not be permitted to sleep nor take your eyes off the computer screen for more than 60 seconds, except for during breaks of course. A small sensor will be installed on the monitor that detects eye movement. The time begins when you enter your office. You are permitted to look away briefly (if you need to sneeze, cough, clean your glasses, adjust your seating position, etc.) and will receive an audible warning when you have looked away for more than 50 seconds. Failure to return your eyes to the screen will result in automatic dismissal AND you must pay $500k, as this would be considered a rule violation. Once this change is made in your employment contract, it cannot be changed. You can still quit, but the same rules apply (quit within your first year, owe $500k, and quit after 1 year, keep your salary). Would you add this term to your contract? 2)You may, if you desire, purchase additional content beyond what you already given on your computer. You may purchase a movie / film (released prior to 1950) for the cost of one week’s salary (roughly $9,500). The max length of any film / movie is 3 hours. You may purchase a song (released prior to 1950) for the cost of one day’s salary (roughly $1,900). The max length of any song is 5 minutes. A crossword puzzle cost 3 hour’s salary (roughly $720). Once purchased, these items can be viewed / played as many times as you like, and you cannot be refunded for these purchases. Would you buy any additional items? Would this stipulation change if you accept this job or not? 3)You may, if you desire, send a typed message to anyone with an email address. However, each message costs 1 hour of pay (roughly $240 if you make $500k / year). The message is limited to 1000 characters. You will be charged the moment you begin typing the message, and the message will be sent automatically if you do not click “send” within 2 hours from the time you began typing. If you receive a reply, you will be charged an additional hour worth of pay if you chose to open the response. The response is limited to 1000 characters. You may view past messages sent and received as many times as you like. You have access to a database with the name and email address of every human on earth. Would you ever use this feature? Would this stipulation change if you accept this job? 4)You may, if you desire, purchase additional items that would be permitted in your office. A single pen and 25 sheets of blank paper costs 2 weeks salary (roughly $19,000). A pillow or blanket costs 2 months salary each (roughly $76,000). A plug in FM radio costs 6 month’s salary (roughly $288,000). You can keep these items as long as you wish once purchased, and you cannot be refunded. Would you purchase these items, or would the ability to purchase these items change if you accept this position or not? submitted by /u/wehavetogoback8 to r/hypotheticalsituation [link] [comments]

I am NOT the Original Poster. That is u/ritetofly123. She posted in r/AmItheAsshole Thanks to u/BakingGiraffeBakes for the rec! Do NOT comment on Original Posts. Latest update is over 7 days old due to the rules of this sub Mood Spoiler: probably heading in the right direction Original Post: September 7, 2024 My boyfriend (M/32) and I (F/27) have been together for a year. He’s only met my parents once over the holidays last year because they live pretty far away. They've been visiting this past week and since he and I just moved in together they were excited to see our new place, and get to know my BF a little more. We have an extra bedroom, and this has become my boyfriend’s gaming room for the most part but we agreed when guests come over it would be a second bedroom. He really likes video games and anime in particular so he has a lot of toys and artwork that he’s collected over the years from different games and such. One thing he has is this anime body pillow that features a sexy anime girl on it. He also has a mousepad for his gaming computer that resembles a busty anime girl. Before my parents came over I asked him to take down his toys and stuff so they could be comfortable. I was upset to see that he left the body pillow and the mousepad in place. I don’t really feel comfortable with either item but he’s really into anime so I’ve always kind of left it alone. But I absolutely didn’t think it was appropriate to leave it in there when my parents would be staying over. I took the cover off the body pillow and put the pillow in the closet and I put the mousepad in a drawer in our room. When my parents arrived and we showed them to their room, my BF noticed the missing pillow and mousepad. Later, when we were in bed, he brought it up to me and asked why I hid them. I told him I didn’t think my parents would feel comfortable with those things in the bedroom and when they leave we can put them back. My BF got really upset. He told me that he feels like I’m ashamed of his interest in anime. He said he’s spent his whole life feeling like people think he’s weird for being into anime and he didn’t expect his own GF to be “just like everyone else”. The next day, I noticed him taking some of his manga books off our bookshelf and putting them into a box. I asked him why and he said something like “I’m putting them away so you don’t have to look at them anymore”. I feel really bad, I feel like I hurt him but I just really didn’t think my parents would feel comfortable sleeping in a room with those items. But now he’s just acting so distant and cold and he’s not really engaging with my parents at all. They keep asking me what’s wrong and I don’t know what to say. AITA? Top Comment: Talkingmice: There’s a huge difference between anime/video game decorations and sexualized anime content. A busty mousepad and a sexy body pillow would most definitely make anyone feel uncomfortable; I get that it’s his space too but I think a small amount of compromise for a limited time isn’t a problem at all. He might see it as you being embarrassed of his interests but the reality is most people aren’t comfortable with sexualized decor, it’s not about anime at all. NTA, he really needs to have more consideration for others OOP: That's exactly my feelings too. There's other stuff in the room that's anime/gaming related that was left up but it was more the sexual stuff I didn't feel comfortable leaving out for my parents. OOP is voted NTA Update (Same Post): September 9, 2024 (2 days later) EDIT: Thank you for all of the responses. And sorry it took me a few days to update, I was waiting for my parents to leave so I could talk to my boyfriend about all of this. I read through the comments and it kind of validated something I already was feeling. Sexual decor aside, the way he acted the next day when he was putting the books away really bothered me. I ended up explaining the situation to my parents and they weren't exactly thrilled by his reaction either. I got the feeling after this trip that they don't really approve of him - which is neither here nor there, I'm 27 and I'm old enough to make my own choices. But above everything else, my parents mean a lot to me, I never get to see them, and it was important to me that my BF would be present and treat them well while they were here. After they left (I drove them to the airport - BF refused to come), I came back from the airport and found a couple trash bags outside the door. Turns out that once I left, my BF started throwing all of his anime things into these bags. I asked why and he said something along the same lines as before, that clearly his interests weren't welcome in "my" home and he'd keep them in his car until he figured out what to do with them. I kinda snapped, I'd been keeping it together all week for my parents but I had enough at this point. I told him I never asked him to get rid of his anime stuff, just that it wasn't appropriate for my parents while they were staying with us. I told him this reaction is unfair and he's being manipulative. I told him that this week was supposed to be about him getting to know my parents but he was too fixated on this anime issue to even spend any real time with them. He then called me manipulative for making him believe that I was cool with his love for anime for the past year when I was clearly ashamed of it. He also said he didn't want to be a part of a family that doesn't appreciate anime (??). We went back and forth for awhile and then I told him we needed space. I wasn't even really planning that but it came out and it felt like the right thing for me. Well, he then started crying a lot and apologizing and immediately tried to take back what he said but I was just done at this point. He left eventually and now I'm here in this apartment alone. Well and the mousepad and body pillow, lol. He left those behind. Anyway...I don't really know if we're broken up officially or what but it seems to be heading that way. I'm just feeling awful and I almost wish this all happened before my parents visited because I feel like it tainted the whole trip. But yeah. Thanks for the replies guys and for helping me open my eyes a bit. Editor's note: I couldn't decide if this one was concluded or ongoing. I've marked it as ongoing for now, but if people disagree I can change it! submitted by /u/LucyAriaRose to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

I am not The OOP, OOP is u/bananaburps At my wit’s end. My son suddenly won’t go in his room but won’t tell us why Originally posted to r/Mommit Thanks to u/female_wolf for suggesting this BoRU Original Post July 20, 2024 We moved into a new house about a year ago so that my son (who turns 4 next month) can have his own room. We thought the transition would be rough but he took to his room almost immediately and have had no issues. He loved his room, has all his toys in there, bedtime routines went smoothly. Most nights he dozes off after a couple of stories and a smooch on the head. He has his nightlights and we keep his door open, even though he never mentioned being scared of the dark. Something changed on July 4th. He spent a good chunk of the afternoon playing in his room, even refusing to come downstairs for a bit. That same night and every night since, he refuses to go into his room at all, insisting on sleeping in our room. He won’t go in with us holding hands, and if we’re able to get him in for a second to retrieve a specific toy, he won’t go all the way in and then immediately run away back down the hall. He has no problem taking a bath in his bathroom across the hall, but he insists we keep the bathroom door closed. Then he runs straight from the bathroom to our room. We have asked him in all sorts of ways why he doesn’t want to go in his room, and he’ll deflect either by screaming COW BOY HAT (a la muffin) or giggle while naming every animal he can think of. We’re guessing he had a nightmare at some point, but he did spend the afternoon in his room with no problem on the day this started. We’re not getting anywhere here, and as a result I’ve been sleeping in his room while he shares our bed with my husband. Maybe I’m looking for someone who had a similar experience with their child that can offer up some fresh ideas, or maybe I’m just venting because I miss my bed. Argh. Edit 7/23: thank you so much for all of your great responses, ideas and stories!! I think I may have cracked the case here but now I have to figure out how to go about it. I was just grabbing something in his room around 3pm today and heard what was definitely an animal scurrying on the roof! Probably a squirrel. We have a metal roof and an exposed beam ceiling so we hear any drop of rain, but I have never until now heard an animal. This would make sense as to why he sometimes keeps naming animals in his room! Now if I’m right I just have to figure out how to go about this… RELEVANT COMMENTS HoneyNo8465 My guess is he’s either scared or ashamed. Could be fireworks like others are mentioning or it could be really silly. Hopefully not a ghost. I’m thinking like he pooped in the closet, had a potty accident, vomited, broke, or spilled something. Have you torn the room apart to make sure nothing is different about it? OOP My perception is that he seems more scared than ashamed. I’ve been sleeping in his room every night and checked every single corner, nothing out of the ordinary. I don’t think it’s the fireworks because there were no fireworks going on in the early afternoon when he was actually in his room, and either way he enjoys fireworks so much. We stayed outside all evening and watching them in both the front and back of the house. I’ve kept his room as normal and welcoming as possible especially when he’s taking a bath, he might crane his head around the corner to get a peek of his room but ultimately turn and run. We managed a few times to get him to walk a few steps in and grab a specific toy he wanted, but then he bolted. Update Aug 8, 2024 (19 days later) After exactly one month, I finally figured it out! I’ve been busy but wanted to update because I still am so stoked he’s back in his room. A few days ago, I got my son to acknowledge a couple of his toys from the doorway, and he stepped in a little bit with encouragement. I then took the opportunity to point at objects in his room and he had a huge reaction to a marvel poster that had been hanging over his bed since we moved in a year ago. He ran to our bedroom and hid under our covers, so I took it off the wall and walked it through the hallway. I stopped at our room for confirmation and he freaked out when he saw I was holding it. I told him that it’s going in the garbage and he’s never going to see it ever again. I hid it downstairs for later disposal, came back upstairs and told him it was gone. He leapt out of our bed and hurried down the hall to his room and jumped in excitement that “EVIL FACE IS GONE!!!” He then screamed in excitement about his Mario kart bed, tossed my pillow off, threw his Mario pillow on and tucked himself in! I was so ecstatic I danced around with him the rest of the night singing “NO MORE EVIL FACE”. We played with all the toys he missed He slept in his room that night and has since been spending even more time in his room playing by himself. He brings up nightly that evil face is gone and his room is fun. To those who are curious, it was a marvel framed poster with like 100+ superheroes and villains. He had always named even some of the more obscure characters (my husband is a comic book guy and passed on this knowledge). Im not sure which character scared him in particular but I theorize it was either m.o.d.o.k. Or ego the living planet. I didn’t stop to have him point out which was the evil face. RELEVANT COMMENTS What the poster looked like A picture of the poster, 100 Marvel characters charmander_ann I knew it!!! Yes, Ego and M.O.D.O.K have very evil faces! Another contender could be Armin Zola OOP That one too but I couldn’t remember his name 😆 tbh when my husband put it up, I felt like one day he would be scared of some of the sinister faces on it, but it just didn’t click since it had always been there ~ cokakatta When my son was a baby I put mickey mouse and friends wall stickers near his changing table. He got terrified of their eyes or something and I had to remove them. When he was a preschooler, I bought him pajamas that had a polar bear face on them and its eyes were angled and fierce looking. He was scared of it. I took a sharpie and rounded the polar bear's eyes and brought his eyebrows out and down to look kinder. I was proud of myself for that one. OOP Yup, I think it’s best to stay away from eyes and front-facing heads for decor. He still has his big Mario movie poster with Mario and Luigi but their heads are turned so it’s not so aggressive. Plus he loves Mario and Luigi and they’re so the opposite of scary.

Accidentally put my Xmas pillow upside down and I love it. submitted by /u/hmac14 to r/funny [link] [comments]

My brother & SIL moved in temporarily. They're staying in the guests room. So far we've been on the same page concerning all things except the decorative pillows. My wife loves adding decorative pillows on beds, and she did the same with the guests bedroom. She did it to make the room look better and also it's her preference. She came to me complaining about seeing the decorative pillows in the guests room being put on the floor and not being put on bed during the day. I went to talk with my brother and he explained that SIL was tired of having to move the (7 pillows in total) pillows before using tthe bed. I explained how my wife finds this disrespectful but He thought it was no big deal and that my wife was being a little too obssessed especially since SIL is pregnant and can't put the pillows back every time. We had a fight and I ended up calling him & SIL "rude guests" because of it. He & SIL got offended and there was tension in the house over it. My wife isn't speaking to them, and they aren't speaking to me. AITA? Maybe my wife overreacted, Maybe I shouldnt have called them that but it is what it is so. submitted by /u/Decorproblem34 to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

They ended up using 2 of the 4 we had for a little over 30 mins causing so much backup with only 2 registers open. I don't understand people sometimes. I get if you don't want to talk to people but I feel bad for the guests that only had like 4 items that had to wait longer cause they decided to use up 2 SCOs. At that point, if you know you're getting a lot just please go to a register.. Edit: lmao I didn't think this would be so controversial but it's cool hearing everyone's opinion on it submitted by /u/paratweeet to r/Target [link] [comments]
