I think at this point I just don't want to hear my own thoughts.
Speaker A
It's probably fine and healthy.
Speaker A
Don't worry about it.
Speaker A
Anyways, I hope you're like me, cuz today I'm going to read a bunch of Reddit stories while I work on an automatic wool farm for my Minecraft world.
Speaker A
Thanks again so much for coming back to the channel.
Speaker A
Let's read the first story.
Speaker A
Am I the a-hole for not wanting my dad to walk me down the aisle because he's in a wheelchair?
Speaker A
About 3 years ago my dad was injured in a really bad hit-and-run car accident.
Speaker A
He broke just about every bone in his body, and it left him paralyzed from the waist down.
Speaker A
Our relationship has always been really good, but I hate seeing him in pain, and admittedly I try to avoid seeing him because it just makes me uncomfortable.
Speaker A
In November I'm getting married.
Speaker A
I've been with my fiancé for 4 years, and he and my dad get on really well.
Speaker A
Naturally, the discussion of who was going to give me away came up in our family group chat, and I kept silent after I realized that my dad would be in a wheelchair.
Speaker A
We always talked about him giving me away and having a dance at my wedding, and I don't want to be reminded of what could have been my wedding.
Speaker A
I messaged my mom privately and told her that I want my uncle to walk me down the aisle, as we're incredibly close.
Speaker A
I don't get this woman's logic at all, and it seems like she doesn't love her dad, but okay, whatever, I'll keep reading.
Speaker A
Naturally, my mom asked why, and I told her that my dad being in a wheelchair would add complications to the wedding.
Speaker A
The walkway would have to be widened to accommodate his wheelchair, and he wouldn't be able to hold my arm or give me a proper hug.
Speaker A
My mom was outraged and called me an ableist piece of work and removed me from the group chat.
Speaker A
My aunt has since called me telling me that my dad is absolutely devastated.
Speaker A
Am I the a-hole?
Speaker A
[laughter]
Speaker A
This woman is obviously the a-hole, but the updates that she added to this post are absolutely killing me.
Speaker A
I'll go ahead and read them super quickly.
Speaker A
Update.
Speaker A
I appreciate all the people who have messaged me offering their support.
Speaker A
Your kind words have meant a lot to me, whilst rifling through a bunch of messages telling me to do horrible things to myself.
Speaker A
Regardless of what you think of me, telling me these things isn't okay.
Speaker A
I'm going to call my dad tomorrow.
Speaker A
Update two.
Speaker A
Can people please stop messaging me such horrendous stuff?
Speaker A
Think about what you're saying.
Speaker A
You may not agree with me or my life, but you're just as bad as I am, apparently, if you're going around saying stuff like that to strangers on the internet.
Speaker A
Final update.
Speaker A
Not that I owe it to anyone, but I thought I'd give you all an update.
Speaker A
My boyfriend and I have decided to part ways, and I've apologized to my dad.
Speaker A
If I was this woman's father, I'd be so incredibly offended.
Speaker A
After getting into a car accident that put him in a wheelchair, the one thing that he has to look forward to is walking his daughter down the aisle, and she doesn't want to do that with him?
Speaker A
I... It's insane.
Speaker A
This is like the moment that you look forward to your entire life as a father.
Speaker A
The mom calling her an ableist piece of work is so funny, and the fact that she doesn't want to walk down the aisle with her dad because she would have to make the aisle wider.
Speaker A
It's just... [gasps] Oh my god, she's actually evil.
Speaker A
This post is absolutely flooded with hate comments.
Speaker A
This person just said, "Yeah, you're the a-hole. It's discrimination. You're acting like your dad is less of a dad than he used to be because he's in a wheelchair."
Speaker A
This comment says, "YTA, you're the ableist."
Speaker A
[laughter]
Speaker A
This comment just says, "You suck."
Speaker A
This commenter was a little more nuanced.
Speaker A
They said, "Your wedding should be about being surrounded by the people that you love, not how they look or what challenges they face.
Speaker A
The true test of your love for your father is how you can make it work in a special and meaningful way.
Speaker A
If you want to repair the relationship with your dad, you better do some soul searching and apologize in a genuine and truly remorseful way.
Speaker A
You're the asshole."
Speaker A
I think those comments sum it up nicely.
Speaker A
This post is truly one of the worst that I've read on this channel.
Speaker A
Am I the a-hole for still hanging around my son's ex-girlfriend after their rather messy breakup?
Speaker A
Recently, my son broke up with his girlfriend of 4 years due to the fact that she cheated on him.
Speaker A
And yes, I know it sounds bad, but I can't help but feel sorry for her.
Speaker A
I'm sorry, what?
Speaker A
She cheated on him, and you feel sorry for her?
Speaker A
Okay.
Speaker A
Before they even began dating, they were friends since the second grade, and through those years, I essentially grew to see her as a daughter of mine.
Speaker A
She didn't exactly have a good home life growing up, so through those years, I tried my best to make her feel like family and treat her like my own.
Speaker A
And when my son began dating her back in 2022, I was absolutely ecstatic.
Speaker A
But onto the current situation.
Speaker A
Five months ago, my son and his ex broke up because she cheated on him.
Speaker A
It wasn't some big affair as far as I know, but it devastated my son because he really did love her with everything that he had.
Speaker A
I stopped talking to her for about a month, but afterwards, she reached out to try and make amends, and I couldn't turn her away.
Speaker A
This is a girl that I've considered my own for so many years, and I felt terrible being distant with her regardless of what she did.
Speaker A
My son found out that I'm still in contact with her recently due to my Facebook posts with me and her shopping together.
Speaker A
We were shopping because she's trying to look nice for a new guy that she's seeing.
Speaker A
And when my son confronted me about it, he wasn't angry per se, but he was just incredibly disappointed.
Speaker A
We had a long talk about the entire thing, and well, since then, he hasn't spoken to me, and it's been a week.
Speaker A
My husband told me that I should have at least told him that I'm still in contact with his ex before he ever found out.
Speaker A
But my sister just thinks I'm a jerk for even remaining in contact with the ex.
Speaker A
I don't really know at this point.
Speaker A
Am I the a-hole for this?
Speaker A
This is just a no-brainer, right?
Speaker A
She is at the very least an a-hole for her son having to find out about her friendship with his ex-girlfriend through Facebook.
Speaker A
That's crazy.
Speaker A
If I were her son and I saw my mom shopping with my ex-girlfriend to buy her new boyfriend clothes, I'd be livid.
Speaker A
That's insane.
Speaker A
And seeing his mom posting about their shopping trip on Facebook, absolutely not.
Speaker A
She sucks for that.
Speaker A
But there is some debate in the comments as to whether or not this poster should have maintained a relationship with her son's ex at all.
Speaker A
And I tend to think that this poster should have been completely in her son's corner.
Speaker A
I think she can be cordial to her son's ex, but I don't think that she should be trying to have a friendship with her.
Speaker A
It just really doesn't sit right with me that she's going out shopping with her son's ex while her son is just sitting at home having been cheated on by that girl.
Speaker A
I think that's crazy to try and maintain a friendship with her.
Speaker A
Just go spend that time with your brokenhearted son.
Speaker A
And I'm not saying that she can't be there for her if she ever needed any help or anything.
Speaker A
Like she said, she had a bad home life.
Speaker A
But don't go and hang out with her.
Speaker A
That's weird.
Speaker A
The bare minimum that this poster needed to do was tell her son that she was maintaining a relationship with his ex-girlfriend, and she didn't even do that.
Speaker A
That clearly just shows that she knows he would have been disappointed by it.
Speaker A
What was that insane first line in the story?
Speaker A
It was something like, "My son's ex cheated on him, and I feel bad for her."
Speaker A
[laughter]
Speaker A
That's crazy.
Speaker A
Am I the a-hole for telling my best friend's fiancé why I'm not in love with him?
Speaker A
I'm a 30-year-old female, and my best friend is David, who's a 30-year-old male.
Speaker A
David and I met freshman year of college and clicked right away.
Speaker A
We were even roommates for a while, and right now
Speaker A
because it might be confusing, but basically the main romantic pairing is between a male lead and the female lead.
Speaker A
There are some people that have interpreted these characters to be related to each other. I do not, but I know that people are free to think whatever they want and honestly I thought that this topic was harmless.
Speaker A
Well, I was completely wrong. Mary took offense to me saying that I liked the romance. She asked me if I supported incest. I said, "Of course not, as the characters are not related." She said that they are related and that me
Speaker A
supporting their pairing is supporting incest. Mary then said that I should educate myself before saying, quote, "Stupid shit." I was dumbfounded and thought that she was joking, but she was really angry with me about this. She told me to rethink my values because
Speaker A
supporting incest makes me a horrible person. I told her that she was making harmful accusations over a TV show. Our other friends were telling her to stop, including Sarah, whose birthday it was.
Speaker A
But she kept claiming that I was a disgusting incest supporter. She then claimed that I was homophobic since the male lead is bisexual but still ended up with a woman. Mary just wouldn't stop saying like this. So, this is where
Speaker A
I might be the I left Sarah's birthday dinner. My friends were asking me to stay, but I felt uncomfortable.
Speaker A
So, I paid for what I ordered and left. Many of my friends reached out to me on Friday to ask if I was okay. Some of them, while they understood why I was upset, said that it was wrong of me to
Speaker A
leave Sarah's birthday dinner and that I just should have ignored what Mary was saying and stuck around. I feel like they may be right and that I may have ruined her birthday by getting up and leaving, but I felt like I couldn't stay
Speaker A
because Mary was throwing accusations at me over something that doesn't matter. If you're curious about what show they're actually talking about here, the poster said in the comments that they were talking about a show called Loki, which is a Marvel show and I haven't
Speaker A
watched it. So, I don't know anything about it. But, I mean it seems to me like this shouldn't have been an argument at all in the first place. As soon as the poster said that she didn't support incest, the poster was clearly
Speaker A
just explaining that this was not her interpretation of the show and it's weird for Mary to just keep harping on it like that. And I think that this poster absolutely had the right to get up and leave the table when she was
Speaker A
uncomfortable. She didn't ruin the dinner. If anyone ruined the dinner, it was Mary for continuing to try and have this really weird argument. She should have been able to pick up that this conversation was not the vibe and it was
Speaker A
making everybody uncomfortable. Also, berating somebody over a TV show at somebody else's birthday party is just a crazy move. But anyways, almost a month later, this poster came back and made an update to the story. So, let me go ahead
Speaker A
and read that super quick. Update. First off, I just want to say that I have no hard feelings towards my friends who said that I should have stayed. I get me leaving was probably the best thing to do in that situation, but their
Speaker A
intentions were purely good to make sure that Sarah enjoyed her birthday dinner. I reached out to Sarah and apologized for what happened and for me leaving so abruptly. She said that I didn't need to apologize and that it was all good
Speaker A
between us. I took her out for drinks. We had a great time. Now, on to Mary.
Speaker A
Since the dinner, I've been texting and calling her just to talk about what happened. So far, she's ignored my texts and calls or given me very short responses, either telling me that she doesn't want to talk to me or that she's
Speaker A
busy. Sarah told me that she also reached out to Mary. And while Mary was actually willing to talk to Sarah, the conversation pretty much went nowhere.
Speaker A
Amy also reached out to her. Like many of you wondering, she asked if Mary was a victim of incest. I mean, it would make sense based on her reaction.
Speaker A
However, according to Mary herself, she wasn't. As far as I know, she isn't bisexual either, so it just seems like she was throwing a tantrum over things that mean nothing to her. Or it's possible that she's been spending too
Speaker A
much time in online fandoms, but who knows? I think it's probably that last thing. I think Mary's been online a little bit too much. In real life, it's possible to just have a normal discussion about a TV show without
Speaker A
getting insanely heated over it. And sometimes I think you can tell when somebody spends a little bit too much time scrolling on Reddit. My greatest fear is people being able to tell how much time I spend on Reddit.
Speaker A
[laughter] You can't blame me for it though, okay? It's my job. I make these videos. You you guys did this to me. You did this to me.
Speaker A
[laughter] Am I the for telling my new co-worker it was misleading of him to be wearing his wedding band when he's a widower? The flair on this post is and I can already tell just from that title that they're the but
Speaker A
let's read it anyways. A couple weeks ago, we had a new employee hired at our company. We'll call him James. He's 36 years old. He's a good guy and a widower. And to my knowledge, his late wife passed away eight months ago. I'm a
Speaker A
32-year-old female and me and my other co-workers get along well with him. However, I noticed that James is still wearing his wedding band on his finger.
Speaker A
It kind of confused me a bit and I couldn't help but bring it up with him while on lunch break. We talked about it and I pointed out that he was being misleading by still wearing his wedding band when he's a widower. He looked
Speaker A
quite bothered by what I said, but I tried to explain that I think he was giving people the wrong idea or impression about his relationship status since he's technically single and on his own right now. I don't want to sound
Speaker A
cruel, but I'm just speaking from a technical angle. [laughter] Oh my god, I hate her. James said that he didn't give it much thought, meaning that he didn't care what people think and that even if he wasn't wearing his
Speaker A
wedding band and some woman approached him, he'd still turn them down since he's obviously not interested. For some reason, things got awkward and everyone stopped eating and just stared at me and James. I told him that I don't really
Speaker A
know, but that it really felt generally misleading of him as in making people think that he's in a relationship when he's not regardless of how he felt about being in a relationship. James got upset, called me rude, and said that I
Speaker A
had repeatedly disrespected his marriage and his late wife's memory with what I said, and then took his stuff and walked away. My coworkers said that regardless of who's right or wrong, though some said that he overreacted, there's no
Speaker A
reason for me to bring this up in the first place and cause a scene. And especially make James that upset with us like now he's not even speaking with me or others who sided with me. Am I the
Speaker A
Did I overstep or did he overreact? This was just a conversation that we were casually having with other coworkers and I didn't use any insensitive tones or anything, but we just had a discussion and suddenly it turned into an argument. I tried to let
Speaker A
things calm down, but the situation got out of hand unexpectedly. Yeah, this poster is the This dude's wife died 8 months ago. Let him grieve her for as long as he wants. 8 months is incredibly recent to have lost your
Speaker A
wife. If you ask me, he can wear that wedding band for the next 10 years and it'd be fine. This poster is so unbelievably oblivious that it feels like bait, but whatever, I'm taking the bait. I'm mad. Some things just don't
Speaker A
need to be talked about. We don't need to be making conversation constantly, especially if we're sitting in the break room at work. We can just sit there silently. We don't need to talk. You don't need to bring up this guy's dead
Speaker A
wife. Why are you asking him about that? He's your co-worker. Also, who are these co-workers that are saying that James overreacted? His reaction is completely valid. People that he just met were prying into his personal affairs and asking about his wife that just died and
Speaker A
why he's still wearing his wedding ring. Of course, he's going to get upset. Every single person in the comment section on Reddit absolutely lambasted this poster and called her out for being totally rude and inconsiderate. So, hopefully next time she's in the break
Speaker A
room with James, she can not talk to him or not bring up the fact that he's a widower. Today, I messed up by accidentally becoming the other woman and falling naked in front of his girlfriend. So, I'm a 23-year-old female
Speaker A
and I matched with this guy Ryan, who's 26 and male, on Hinge. It was normal, nothing weird. We talked for a few days and he's funny and a little flirty, but not over the top. He invites me over and
Speaker A
I hesitate for like 2 seconds, but then say yes because clearly I make great decisions. I get over to his place, it's clean, it smells good, no obvious red flags. We're talking and laughing and one thing leads to another and we end up
Speaker A
in his bed. At this point, I'm fully under the impression that this man is single. Like nothing about him screamed otherwise. Fast forward a little bit and we're just laying there in his bed talking nonsense. I'm half under the
Speaker A
blanket, life is good, but then I hear the front door open. Not a knock, not a hey, I'm here text, just keys unlocking.
Speaker A
And my stomach drops. I look at Ryan and I say, "Are you expecting someone?" And his face just drains and he says, "Wait." Wait? Before I can process any of it, this girl walks into the room and just stops and looks at both of us and
Speaker A
time literally pauses. I'm sitting there barely covered and he looks like he's about to evaporate and she just says, "Who is this?" I panic instantly and start scrambling to get up because I want out. I'm grabbing at the sheet
Speaker A
trying to wrap myself like some sort of emergency burrito. Ryan's talking to her saying both of our names like that's going to fix anything. And he says, "Babe, wait. I can explain." I'm sorry, babe. That's news to me. I'm trying to
Speaker A
get off the bed quickly and my foot gets fully caught in the sheet and instead of leaving like a normal person, I just fall face first completely naked on the floor. Dead silence. I actually just wanted to disappear. The girl stares at
Speaker A
me for a second and then says, "Are you okay?" Which somehow makes it worse because like why are you being so nice to me? She literally helps me up and I can't even look at her. I'm clutching the sheet for dear life. Ryan is still
Speaker A
somewhere in the background saying, "It's not what it looks like." Which is insane because it's exactly what it looks like. I just keep saying, "I didn't know. I didn't know. I swear." Like a broken NPC and she just nods like
Speaker A
she believes me much more than him, which is fair. I grab my clothes as fast as possible still half wrapped in the sheet because my coordination has left the chat. I left without even getting properly dressed. I was just in survival
Speaker A
mode. He texted me later with a whole paragraph long apology, but I blocked him immediately. But I still randomly remember sometimes the exact moment that I ate the floor in front of his girlfriend and feel my soul leave my
Speaker A
body all over again. And I just realized that I left one of my earrings there.
Speaker A
It's his girlfriend's now, I guess. This whole story was cracking me up, but the part that was absolutely frying me was where the guy was in the background just saying, "Babe, it's not what it looks like. Don't worry. It's not what it
Speaker A
looks like." [laughter] It's just so good. Because part of me just wants to hear this guy out just to hear what he has to say out of curiosity. Like no, okay. Tell us Tell us what this is then because what it
Speaker A
looks like is that you're sleeping with another woman. So so No, tell us what this is. It kind of baffles me how often you hear about people cheating on their partners by re-downloading apps like Tinder and Hinge and Bumble and all
Speaker A
those things cuz that just feels like such an easy way to get caught. Having a profile on one of those apps while you're in a committed relationship is just like putting up a giant billboard saying that you're actively cheating on
Speaker A
your partner or I guess trying to cheat. In my experience, just delete your profiles on all the apps as soon as you guys put a label on the relationship.
Speaker A
And this may seem like a no-brainer, but don't just delete the app, delete the profile, too, cuz otherwise it'll keep showing your profile to people. Anyways, I really like the comments on this post because all of the comments are just
Speaker A
suggesting that this poster and this girlfriend need to become best friends and forget this loser, which I completely support as well. It was really cool of the girlfriend to help this poster up when she fell down. Oh my
Speaker A
god, what are you doing? Please follow me, you dumb sheep. I've been avoiding actually bringing sheep into the cave because I hate moving animals in this game, but I can't avoid it anymore. If I want sheep in my farm, I I have to bring
Speaker A
them into the cave. All right, buddy, time to get into your eternal confinement. Yeah, yeah, very good.
Speaker A
Okay, I just spent a ton of time off camera getting this thing actually working. I don't want to talk about how long it actually took to get all these sheep in the proper place and dyed the right colors, but it was a long time.
Speaker A
And you know what? Despite this farm looking like it was made by an 8-year-old, I actually do kind of like the way that it looks. The way that it works is that the sheep eat the grass underneath them and then an observer
Speaker A
sees it and sends a signal to a dispenser that automatically shears the sheep. You get it. Then their wool gets collected by these hopper minecarts, which then gets sent over to these chests. And you know what? It's working
Speaker A
all right. It's not super efficient, but in the short time that it's been running, we already have this much wool.
Speaker A
Okay, I'm kind of done with working on the wool farm for today. I'm going to go try and find that new biome that they just released in this update. It's got all the red leaves and the new wood
Speaker A
type. Kind of excited about it. I just want to do some resource collecting. My girlfriend is testing me. I'm a 24-year-old male and my girlfriend is a 24-year-old female and over the last week or so, she's just started
Speaker A
neglecting her hygiene. She's stopped putting on deodorant, taking showers, etc. And she's started dressing in horrible outfits whenever we go out for anything. This really confused me for the first few days. I asked her if she was okay and I tried to talk to her
Speaker A
because neglecting her hygiene is a sign of depression. She acts the exact same way as she always had aside from the hygiene stuff. Well, today I got a call from her sister's husband who called to tell me that what she was doing was
Speaker A
testing me and trying to see if I would still stay with her even though she was neglecting her hygiene. Apparently, her sister did the exact same thing to him when they started getting serious. He told me to just wait it out and she'll
Speaker A
stop after a couple weeks. So, I don't really know where to go from here. I haven't brought it up with her yet because I'm not really sure what to do.
Speaker A
Any advice? I think I've talked before about how manipulative I think testing your partner in your relationship is or like setting traps for them to fall into. Ultimately, you're just setting your partner up for failure. It's just not something that you do in a healthy
Speaker A
relationship. This guy got some wide-ranging advice in the comments. Some people were saying that he should pretend that it wasn't a test at all and just treat her as if she actually had bad hygiene and wasn't taking care of
Speaker A
herself and show that he could be a good boyfriend in that kind of situation. And the other advice that he got was to just confront her and tell her that he knew that she was testing him. Which is what
Speaker A
he ended up going with because a couple days later, he came back with an update on how he handled the situation. Here's what he wrote in this update 2 days later. So, last night I sat down with my
Speaker A
girlfriend and brought up that I knew that she had been testing me and that I didn't appreciate it nor found it cute or funny. She said it was to test whether or not I love her for her appearance. I told her that this was a
Speaker A
shitty way to test that and that she was hurting herself more than anything. Apparently, this is proof that I don't love her for her and that if I really loved her, I wouldn't have brought it up at all, and I would have just let her be
Speaker A
as long as she wasn't hurting anyone. I told her that that was batshit crazy, and she broke up with me. Although, I probably would have broke up with her anyway if this behavior continued. Thank you again for all your advice. Yeah, you
Speaker A
know, I think I saw that ending coming. I think he's probably better off without her. He really could have reacted better. I think some of the language that he used wasn't great, but I think these two people are better off not
Speaker A
together. Like I said before, if I'm in a relationship, I don't want to feel like I'm constantly being manipulated and tested to see if I qualify for being in that relationship. I don't know. Do you guys test your partners? Is this
Speaker A
something that's done more often than I think it is? I do think the girlfriend is right to break up with him after he called her batshit crazy, but I mean, she was manipulating him, so I guess he's better off for it. Am I
Speaker A
overreacting? My friend ghosted me after getting me to set her up with a job interview. I'm a 19-year-old female, and my friend is also a 19-year-old female.
Speaker A
She really pissed me off the other day, and I need to know if I'm overreacting.
Speaker A
For some background, my friend and I have known each other since we were in elementary school. We were extremely close in middle school, but naturally grew apart in high school due to us just following different paths in life. We
Speaker A
reconnected in the last couple years, just texting here and there, as well as running into each other as we both live in the same town. About a month ago, my friend DM'd me on Instagram telling me that she was looking for a job and
Speaker A
wanted to know if my job was hiring. I'm the manager at a small mom-and-pop store, and I'm very close with my boss, so generally, my recommendations get hired. I told her that I'd check with my boss, and he was extremely excited to go
Speaker A
interview her because of her availability. She did end up getting another job at a restaurant across the street from my job, but said that she would still be able to work at my job also, and was excited to meet my boss
Speaker A
and to do an interview. The day of the interview came, and my boss made an hour-long trip from his house to the shop. My friend never called or texted, just never showed up for the interview.
Speaker A
She didn't answer any of my calls or texts and completely ghosted me and my boss. My boss waited an hour for her to come and she never came. I was really upset and embarrassed both because she ghosted me and made me look bad in front
Speaker A
of my boss. Fast forward to a couple of days ago, she swiped up on my Instagram story about a concert that I went to.
Speaker A
This was the first time that we'd spoken in months and I attached the messages. I just need to know if I'm crazy for being upset because I feel like this was insanely rude and honestly enough for me to block her. I have the screenshots of
Speaker A
the Instagram messages between these two. I'll put them up on the screen but I'll also read them aloud for the audio only listeners. Okay, the first message between the two of them is just this poster's friend saying, "Oh my god." in
Speaker A
response to her Instagram story. The poster writes back, "Girl, why did you ghost me and my boss also?" Her friend responds, "Cuz I didn't want to go." The poster writes back, "Well, he would have really appreciated a text before he
Speaker A
drove an hour to the store just for the interview. And I also would have appreciated one so I didn't look like an ass in front of my boss." Her friend writes back, "Why would your boss connect my actions to you? Because I
Speaker A
recommended you?" Her friend writes back, "I think if your boss thinks you're an ass because you recommended me and I didn't show up, that's pretty strange. I just think it's rude. I don't know." And her friend says, "Oh, well."
Speaker A
which the poster responded with a thumbs down reaction. The top comment on this post just says, "That's not your friend, chief." And the OP responded to that comment by saying, "I know. It really makes me sad that we have over a decade
Speaker A
of history but unfortunately this is a lesson that I have to learn." I just could not agree more with that top comment. This is a person that this poster knew in elementary and middle school and lost touch with and now they
Speaker A
just talk over Instagram every once in a while. And I think this poster's absolutely right. It is a hard lesson to learn that just because you have a history of friendship with somebody as children doesn't mean that they're going
Speaker A
to be a good friend in adulthood. Like this is absolutely not the way that you treat your friends or anyone for that matter. And I'm sorry, this friend of hers had to know that this was going to reflect poorly on this poster. There's
Speaker A
no way that she just thinks her actions don't have effects on other people. Well, I don't know, actually that's not totally unbelievable. There's so many people out there that think that that think that their actions have no consequences on other people. If it were
Speaker A
me, I wouldn't be talking to that friend anymore. We already don't talk much in the first place and you reached out to me for a favor. I did you that favor and then you ignored it and made me look
Speaker A
bad? Absolutely not talking to you again. This is like sort of related, not exactly the same situation, but years ago, right after I got out of college, I was working in my first ever office job and my company was looking to hire new
Speaker A
people and so I recommended one of my friends for an interview cuz I don't know, he was looking for a job. I was trying to help him out. He's a smart guy, I like him. I thought he'd be good
Speaker A
at it. But somehow my friend got a phone interview with my bosses boss who is pretty important at the company and like a kind of intimidating guy. And after their phone interview, I see my bosses boss walking over to my desk with
Speaker A
purpose and he comes over to me, leans down and says, "Don't ever waste my time with someone I'll literally never hire." Verbatim, exactly what he said. I felt so bad for my friend. I didn't really know what to say and he just walked off
Speaker A
and never talked about that interview again and I just went to my friend and told him that he needed to work on his interview skills cuz clearly he said something that was just not correct. Who cares what my old boss thinks though? To
Speaker A
let you in on a little bit of old company drama, he was cheating on his wife with one of my coworkers and everybody at the company knew about it.
Speaker A
The dude was messy. Honestly, I kind of miss the office gossip. That place was wild. I'm traveling overseas to meet my online boyfriend in a week. He just said that he has to cancel. For context, I'm a 29 year old female and my online
Speaker A
boyfriend is a 38 year old male. I met this guy online through r/penpals about 5 months ago. It started off just getting to know each other and it turns out that we actually have a lot in common and we're really compatible. I
Speaker A
think it's safe to say that we fell for each other. It quickly turned intense and we shared every single intimate detail about each other. We were both in serious relationships that had fallen through, but some time had gone by for
Speaker A
us. My 7-year relationship had ended about 10 months ago and his 4-year relationship ended about 4 months before we met. We text all day, every day, and FaceTime for about 2 to 3 hours every night except for maybe one to two nights
Speaker A
a week. He lives in Ireland and I live in the US. I found an incredibly priced flight to go visit him. We were both super excited and maybe a bit rash. I booked the flight after about only 2
Speaker A
months of knowing him. He told his family about me and shared photos with me of his family and we planned all that we're going to do when I go to see him.
Speaker A
At 5:30 this morning, I received a video message and a long text saying that his ex-girlfriend was in a serious car accident and that he would have to cancel our trip. I've begged him not to and I'm trying to be supportive of what
Speaker A
he's going through. So far, at most, I've only gotten that he'll try and that he needs to sort this out. I'm freaking out that in 7 days, I'll be in a country where I don't know anyone. Do I cancel
Speaker A
the flight? I've been telling my friends all about this trip that I'm going on. I have no idea what to do now. I feel sick and I feel like a fool. I feel like everything that he said to me was a lie.
Speaker A
What do I do? I think this poster kind of nailed it right there. I'd bet a lot of money that most of what this guy said it was entirely a lie. He's either back together with his ex-girlfriend or
Speaker A
they'd never broken up at all or he doesn't even live in Ireland. The possibilities are truly endless. Either way, I feel really bad for this poster because this guy clearly had no intention of ever seeing her. And let's
Speaker A
just imagine for a second that he was actually telling the truth and his ex did get into a car accident. You're not going to cut out a little bit of time to see the person that you've been talking
Speaker A
to for months and online dating when she booked a flight to come visit you. He's either the world's biggest or a pathological liar. Take your pick, I guess. I think that if you're in this poster's position and you planned some
Speaker A
big trip to another country, but some jerk canceled on you and now you have to do the trip alone and you don't know whether or not if you should go, I think you should just go every single time. Go
Speaker A
have a great new experience in a foreign place and forget the loser that catfished you into coming to that country. I guess remind me never to go on r/penpals. This is a sample size of one, but it doesn't really seem like a
Speaker A
great place to actually meet real people. I'm trying to get better about not needing to finish a project in a video.
Speaker A
For some reason, I always feel like I need to start and finish a project in my Minecraft world for a video to feel complete, but I wanted to do something with this wall of the cave since it's always looked kind of plain and I know
Speaker A
it's not something that I can finish in a day. So, for now I'm just planning what it's going to be with cobblestone and regular stone and stuff. This is definitely not what it will look like whenever I'm done. While I've been
Speaker A
building here, I've just kind of realized that I actually don't do a lot of planning whenever I'm building. I just kind of send it when I start recording. But yeah, I kind of want this area to be an entryway for the cave. I
Speaker A
haven't thought of much else other than just adding a bunch of pillars and walkways and stuff. Am I the for telling a friend why we don't invite her out anymore? A few months ago, a new girl started tagging along with my
Speaker A
friend group. Her name's Mia. She's a 32-year-old female. She's a nice enough person, so we all didn't have a problem with it at first. Then we decided to go watch a movie together and Mia talked through the entire thing. She kept a
Speaker A
running commentary going through the whole movie. She would mention plot holes, trivia about the actors, just general nonsense. We were watching the movie on streaming at someone's house, so it was annoying, but we got over it.
Speaker A
Then we went to go see The Odyssey in IMAX and she kept whispering to me throughout the entire movie. Like a full-on running commentary about every little difference there was between the poem and the movie. Fun facts about Matt
Speaker A
Damon. Basically, she didn't shut up for the entire thing. I'd been sitting next to her and I asked her to be quiet a few times, but she didn't seem to get the message. A few weeks later, a friend of
Speaker A
ours said that he got tickets to go see Something Rotten, which is a musical.
Speaker A
Someone else said, "Don't invite Mia." So, we created a second group chat without Mia to coordinate going to that show. We went without Mia and had a great time. The next time that we were going to a movie night at somebody's
Speaker A
house, we didn't invite Mia again. We did invite her to a boating day that we did, so it wasn't like we were excluding her from every activity. Last week, the non-Mia group chat decided to go see Rock of Ages at the theater where I work
Speaker A
and asked if I could get them a deal on tickets. Mia apparently found out about this get-together and called me to ask why we hadn't invited her. I decided to be blunt and told her, "Because you won't shut up whenever we're watching
Speaker A
stuff." Mia seemed to get offended and apparently went to the rest of the friend group to get the truth. Some told her straight up and others left her on red or lied about the plans. Now, my friend group is divided. Some think it
Speaker A
was right to tell Mia the truth, while others think that we should have lied to spare her feelings. Nobody wants to invite her to the show though, which they are coming to tonight without Mia.
Speaker A
So, am I the I might be kind of biased in my opinion on this one because one of my biggest pet peeves is people talking to me during movies. If we're at somebody's house and just hanging out watching a movie, that's fine. I don't
Speaker A
care about that. That's not a problem. But if we're sitting in a movie theater and you lean over to me and spoil a plot point cuz you read the book, we have generational beef. I'm making a voodoo doll of you and throwing it into a
Speaker A
volcano. I don't care. I guess I'm saying that I get why this group of friends stopped inviting Mia to go watch shows and movies and whatever. It's definitely not cool or the right thing to do. I feel like it does happen often
Speaker A
times in friend groups though, where somebody just gets cut out of a group chat and the friends go do something without them. And that's literally the shittiest feeling in the world to find out that your friends cut you out like
Speaker A
that. So, I do feel bad for Mia. I think this poster had the right idea telling her the truth. She just went about it terribly and said it in a really mean way. I think somebody just needed to
Speaker A
tell Mia nicely that the group doesn't like it when she talks during movies and then just keep inviting her and then she'll know for the future that she shouldn't be talking. Dude, my friend Keith spoiled Project Hail Mary like 15
Speaker A
minutes into the movie for me. I'm still mad at him about that and he knows it.
Speaker A
Keith, if you're watching, it's on site. Am I the for not letting my girlfriend's parents know that I speak their language for almost 3 years because they didn't ask? My girlfriend's parents speak Russian. I also speak Russian. Nothing about me would hint at
Speaker A
that. My great-grandpa picked it up as a POW. He spoke it to his children and then they spoke it to me. I took a Russian course ages ago to make the most out of my random rudimentary Russian and
Speaker A
then just kept listening to and watching Russian content now and then. I kept at it and I would say that I speak it decently well at a conversational level.
Speaker A
My English is much better and my French and Italian are better as well. Therefore, there's never any reason to show off my Russian. I just never thought much of it. I met my girlfriend and she has Russian roots but doesn't
Speaker A
speak any Russian. It was never a topic of conversation for us. Her parents are native Russian speakers but also speak perfect German, which is my language.
Speaker A
You couldn't tell that they were born here. Her parents do, however, have some short comments and back and forths in Russian sometimes. Nothing delicate, nothing that the rest of us wouldn't be allowed to hear. We always speak German
Speaker A
and it's no issue for anybody. Their upbringing is almost never a topic apart from some funny anecdotes here and there about life as a kid back then. Nothing too deep. The other day, a family friend of theirs who's also Russian came by and
Speaker A
it was a nice evening as always. As older generations sometimes do, they were mocking my generation with some light-hearted banter in a joking kind of way. The friend at one point said something about how much tougher they are compared to us. So, in a joking
Speaker A
tone, I said, not literally, but what would be best described as, 'Well, I hope you're not scared to put your money where your mouth is.'" in Russian. They responded with shocked silence. Rough language is normal. They wouldn't be offended over a bit of
Speaker A
banter, I promise. Later, my girlfriend said that they were really disturbed that I was fluent in Russian. Wouldn't say that I am, but that's besides the point. But, her parents were just upset that I left them in the dark about it.
Speaker A
The thing is, they never asked. They knew my great-grandpa was a POW in Siberia. I told them that when it was actually a topic of conversation, and we joked about it because some of her mother's family were locked up there at
Speaker A
the same time, as well. Haha, they were cellmates, kind of thing. But, the language thing never came up, and I just didn't think much about it. Nothing of any gravity was ever said in Russian in the household. Half of their family
Speaker A
doesn't even speak it. We all speak German to each other. I don't see how this matters. I wasn't eavesdropping, either. They never shared a secret in Russian while I was there. I would have said something if it was the case, but
Speaker A
it was only just some random BS. So, now they're all cross because, apparently, I've kept a major secret from them. I'm confused because nobody ever cared about that before. It wouldn't have changed a thing. We understood each other fine,
Speaker A
and still do. My girlfriend is stressed out because she can see both sides, but also thinks the drama is annoying and pointless. Am I guilty here? Edit: My girlfriend always knew that I spoke Russian. There's a bit of a war
Speaker A
happening in the comments of this post. Most people agree that this poster isn't an and that his girlfriend's parents are just overreacting. But, there are a lot of people saying that he is an for this. The top comment
Speaker A
on this post says, "Not the but after 3 years, I get why they found it weird." Which I think sums it up pretty well. I don't think this poster is an per se, but he's definitely strange for not saying anything about
Speaker A
him speaking Russian to her Russian-speaking parents. It feels like after knowing them for 3 years, and hearing them speak Russian around him, he would have mentioned, even just in passing, that he also speaks the language. At that point, it feels kind
Speaker A
of intentional, like you're not mentioning that you speak the language on purpose. I also completely agree with this commenter. They said, "Yeah, I don't know the culture and the relationship, but if you knew someone for years and then one day they suddenly
Speaker A
revealed they speak your native tongue that you sort of frequently speak with your partner in front of them and their first word is followed by a funny bit of sass. That feels like weird energy on your end. Like at no point in
Speaker A
the last 36 months or times that you hung out with them, you couldn't have said please and thank you or good morning, good evening, hello. Like so many ways. I'm a woman siding with your girlfriend on it's all weird and
Speaker A
annoying, but bro, you could have dropped this lore in so many different ways. Everyone here sucks a bit, but I think you're like 2% more in the wrong simply because the way you revealed it feels weird to me. As you guys already
Speaker A
know, I'm a spoiled American and I literally only speak English and some very broken Spanish. So I guess I'm curious what you guys who can speak multiple different languages have to say about this one. My friend posted my work
Speaker A
on her social media claiming it as her own. Here's a bit of background. I graduated from cosmetology school in a different state than I currently reside.
Speaker A
When I moved here, I needed to get more hours licensed in my current state. So I returned to school and instantly made friends with a girl who I'll be referring to as Mindy. Then my last week of cosmetology school before I
Speaker A
graduated, I was running a bit late in the morning and I forgot my phone at home in my rush, which really sucked because I knew I had a girl coming in for a haircut who wanted a big change
Speaker A
and I wanted to take before and after pictures. Mindy was there that day and I asked her if she could take pictures for me and send them to me. She accepted and I thought that was that. A few weeks
Speaker A
went by and Mindy never sent me the pictures of the haircut that I had done despite me asking for them and I never got a response from her. Then it became a little bit more pressing. I was applying to jobs and I was putting
Speaker A
together a portfolio of all my work. Again, I asked Mindy if she could send me the pictures so that I could put them in my portfolio. This time she apologized profusely for not getting them to me sooner and says that she'll
Speaker A
send them. Two days later, still no pictures. Bringing us to today. I asked her again for them, nicely mind you, and I didn't get a response. I figured that she was super busy at her job and couldn't get back to me right away. But
Speaker A
as I was looking through my Instagram, I could see that she had made a post of the before and after pictures of my client with a caption saying, "Check out this rocking haircut that I did. Come see me for all your hair needs." When I
Speaker A
saw this, I was livid. This girl was one of my best friends at my new beauty school and now she's taking the credit for the work that I did. My question is, how do I approach her about this? And how can I ask her to delete
Speaker A
this post from her Instagram page? Do I need to ask her this face to face and make sure that she does it? I hate this.
Speaker A
You deal with it by messaging this girl and saying, "Hey, quit stealing the credit for my work. How dare you?" I think this poster should definitely deal with this more tactfully than that, but I mean this would make me so mad. If you
Speaker A
want to be nice about it, you could give her the benefit of the doubt and be like, "Hey, I'm sorry. I think you accidentally posted my work on your Instagram page. Could you please take that down?" But we all know that Mindy
Speaker A
knows exactly what she's doing and stole this work intentionally. The comments on this post are way smarter than me and they suggested that this poster bring it first to the school and talk to people there, tell them the situation and have
Speaker A
the school, the beauty school handle it. Okay, anyways, the next day this poster came back with an update to the story on how she handled the situation. So, let me read that super quick. On to the update. So, I went to the school to see
Speaker A
if they could help me. I went to the academy director and the director of admissions and they were super helpful.
Speaker A
They told me that they were on my side because they aren't huge fans of Mindy and this isn't the first time that they've dealt with this. I showed them the Instagram post and they got to work.
Speaker A
They checked the schedule the day that I did the haircut and also checked the client ticket. The schedule showed that I was the one scheduled to do the haircut and Mindy was working behind the front desk that day. And people behind
Speaker A
the desk are not allowed to take clients. And the client ticket specifically said that I was the one performing the service. Next, we called my client who was also a student at the school to inform her and let her in on
Speaker A
this. I showed her the post and she seemed quite peeved at it. So, she was on my side as well. I got my client to write a release to say that Mindy did not have the authorization to put the
Speaker A
pictures on her social media. She did, however, write that I was allowed to use the photos in my portfolio if I wished.
Speaker A
So, both directors got in contact with Mindy and showed her the letter written by my client. Luckily, Mindy was none too smart and got scared of some sort of legal action that would be used against her and apologized profusely. She didn't
Speaker A
apologize to me, of course. She was only remorseful because she got caught. In any case, the picture was taken off of Instagram not 2 minutes later. And the original pictures were sent to the director of admissions who then sent
Speaker A
them to me. The directors were apologizing to me for the whole fiasco and offered me a free service of my choice. So, today I'm going in getting a massage. So, yeah, everything worked out in the end. I don't think that could
Speaker A
have ended more perfectly. As someone who has the credit stolen for their work all the time, I completely get this poster's frustration. I see people literally just stealing an entire video of mine, pitching it up one octave so I
Speaker A
have a chipmunk voice, and then re-uploading it. It's crazy. Am I the for not wanting to drive my girlfriend to a 6:40 a.m. train because I'm exhausted? I started a new job 3 weeks ago and I've been getting up
Speaker A
around 6:30 to 7:00 a.m. every weekday. I'm still adjusting to the schedule. I haven't been getting enough sleep and I was really looking forward to resting this weekend. My girlfriend booked a weekend trip to Paris. I knew she was
Speaker A
going, but only found out the day before that her train leaves at 6:40 a.m. She wanted me to drive her to the station, which would mean a 60-minute round trip for me, and getting up considerably earlier than I already do for work. I
Speaker A
hadn't previously agreed to drive her. I told her that I was exhausted and wanted to sleep and suggested she take a taxi instead. She was upset that I didn't want to take her and see her off. She brought up things that she's done for me
Speaker A
in the past saying essentially that she makes an effort for me and I should do the same. The disagreement escalated and she told me that if I didn't drive her, she wouldn't come back. I took that seriously. I do understand that
Speaker A
relationships involve doing favors and sometimes inconveniencing yourself for your partner. From her perspective, I imagine this feels like asking for one early morning and being told no despite all the things that she's done for me.
Speaker A
For mine, I'm genuinely exhausted. I hadn't agreed to this beforehand and I thought a taxi was a reasonable alternative. Am I the for initially refusing the drive and asking her to take a taxi? Some of the comments on this post are cracking me up. The top
Speaker A
commenter says, "This probably doesn't matter as you won't be her boyfriend for much longer." And somebody else replied, "Yeah, OP is a great example of but the breakup came out of nowhere." Which I agree with. This is just not a big favor
Speaker A
to ask of a boyfriend. I just really feel like the girlfriend here isn't asking that big of a favor from her boyfriend. And if I'm the poster in this situation, I would be wanting to drive my girlfriend to the train station. Not
Speaker A
to be a pick me here, but I do enjoy doing favors like that. This guy got so close to almost having empathy when he was like, "Yeah, no, I know relationships are about making compromises." But then he just couldn't
Speaker A
quite close the loop on it and still continued to be selfish. If he recognizes that his girlfriend is making all of these compromises for him and doing him favors, then the least he can do is drive her to the airport a little
Speaker A
bit early in the morning. An hour drive round trip to the train station is not that bad. Just suck it up, dude, and drive her there. You can come back home and continue to sleep in. It's fine.
Speaker A
All right, I've decided that there's going to be an entrance to the cave right here. Again, this is all a work in progress. Just in the planning stages right now. But there will be this walkway that goes through this room with
Speaker A
all these pillars. Then, we'll have another entryway through the old hobbit hole over here. Here's kind of what it's roughly looking like. I'm thinking about having these big pillars with arches.
Speaker A
Still trying to have the natural look of the cave coming through. I do kind of love the wool farm though. It It's ugly, but it's growing on me. And look at all the wool that I've got just from running
Speaker A
it through making this video. It's working like a charm. Anyways, that's all the Reddit stories in Minecraft I've got for you today. Thank you so much to the motley crew of channel members and to you for sticking around to the end of
Speaker A
the video and commenting and all that other stuff. Recently, I've been getting a bunch of emails from people saying that they love watching my videos on Spotify. And I was like, "Huh, I don't upload my videos on Spotify." And so, it
Speaker A
turns out that there's just been somebody pretending to be me and uploading my content over there for months. Amazing. I love having my hard work stolen. I'm I'm not mad about it.
Speaker A
Egg on my face, I guess. It's my fault for not putting my videos on Spotify. Of course, somebody's going to steal my content. I guess I'll let you know when I start actually putting my videos up on there. All that being said, it would be
Speaker A
a big help if you subscribe to the real me here on on this channel. All right, I'm sure you're tired of hearing me talk. I hope you had a good month.
Speaker A
Goodbye.
