Boss Dares Engineer To Leave If He Doesn’t Like It, So He Walks Out And Makes Them Pay

When I was younger I worked as a engineer for a small company. The owner who I'll call Jake, let me know before I started that I would be doing about 10 hour days, 6 days a week for about 6 months, but that I would have to be flexible. Some days they wouldn't have work for me and other days I'd be expected to stay a few hours late. This didn't bother me too much as I wasn't too tight for money and I didn't mind staying behind a few extra hours occasionally.

I got to work and was told to follow instructions from the owners brother, Steve. He was an arrogant character, who always thought he knew how to do everyone's else's job better than them. We butted heads a few times but nothing major.

A few months in, I found a new job starting in a week that paid better. Later on that day I had another disagreement with Steve. The situation was petty but it's his response that really confused me. It ended with him screaming in my face "if you don't do as I say, then you can f**cking leave!".

So I packed my stuff and left. Steve was a little confused, thinking I'd just fall in line. He was too arrogant to apologise, and I had a job lined up.

(Side note for people not in the UK, I was working a zero hour contract. This means I get an hourly wage but I'm not afforded some labor rights like a set salery, minimum work hours or notice for dismissal. This works both ways though so I can leave the job whenever I want with no notice.)

I decided to call up Jake since he'd always been chill and...

My (21) little sister (12) was just given 1-3 weeks to live. What can I do to make her enjoy her last days?

My sister was diagnosed about 2 1/2 years ago with T-Cell Leukemia. She struggled through it, with the chemo, radiation and infections, and lately we thought she was about to overcome it. But a few months ago it started spreading again and now the doctors are telling us we need to bring her home.

There’s nothing else we can do and I’ve never felt pain like this before. I know I need to be strong for her, but I just wanted to know what I can do to make her happy before she passes? Any ideas are appreciated.

Edit: Thank you everyone for your kind words and responses, I’ve been trying to read them all and respond to you all.

We told her today about her situation: she cried a bit but told us that she was tired and she knew her time was coming. She will be given small doses of morphine to keep the pain away, have a hospice nurse and be able to pass away at home. I plan to make sure she’s up for whatever I think we could do, but unfortunately big trips or doing big things are out of the question. She’s very tired and she seems to want to relax. I also want to say that I am for sure going to be recording audio, videos and taking SO MANY selfies with her before she passes. Some she’ll know about and some she wont. I also plan on asking her to either draw me a tattoo or pick one for me, putting the recording of her saying she loves me and her name too. I’ll let her pick the area, and see what she’d like to do.

I have taken a leave of absence at my work and will...

I'm Not Sure Why It Took Me So Long to Trying Cooking Rice Like Pasta. Mind Blown!

**NOTE:** Before posting this, I did a search of this thread to make sure that there weren't already 100 posts about this same topic, and the most recent was over a year ago, and most of the posts with more extensive comments were several years ago.

I make rice 2-3 times per month, at most, and never more often than 3-4 times in a month, with the latter being . Thus, I don't feel like I make rice often enough to buy a rice cooker (IMO), given that my available counter and pantry space for appliances is already used by things I use much more often. Like many, I have been on a long journey to consistently make good rice, and eventually got there understanding the need for multiple rinses, waiting to put rice in the pot until the water was boiling, etc. But, TBH, making rice "correctly" has always kind of a pain in the b__t for me, and sometimes I'm just like: Sticky/gummy rice is good enough because I'm not in the mood to do the rinses etc. Then I stumbled upon the suggestion about cooking rice like pasta, then just straining it in a fine mesh strainer, and putting it in a bowl to fluff and let off a bit of steam. It's SO easy. And having done it this way like 5 times now, the rice has turned out perfectly every time. I wish I had tried this method years ago. I'll never go back.

Edited to clarify the frequency of my making rice. But, ironically, now that I've found the pasta method, I might make rice more often now.

AITA for giving my son's new bike away after the "prank" he pulled on a girl he was friends with?

So recently I found out my son "Jacob" (15) pulled an incredibly cruel "prank" on one of the girls I'll call "Ashley" that's in his friend group. I know this girl, she's been to our house and even attended Jacob's birthday party a month ago. She seemed incredibly sweet if not a bit shy. So when my oldest son "Mark" (17) came to me and told me Jacob had asked Ashley out on a date as a prank I was stunned.

I of course asked how he could know this, hoping as any mother would that it wasn't true. But Mark showed me the family tablet we all use (but mostly my sons do) and it seems Jacob forgot to log out of his chatting app, discord. I read the long series of messages between Jacob and his friends as they mocked Ashley all through this heartless prank. I was speechless. And that's not even getting into HOW he was talking, like he was some thug and not a 15 year old living in a gated community.

At first I couldn't figure out what to do, or how to proceed. I'll admit that I never once imagined either of my boys would be the type of person to do something like that. But there was no way in hell I was letting this go. So after a day of thought I decided what was going to happen. First things first, he was grounded, for how long I'm not...

People who religiously have their cameras on and believe that others should always have theirs on…why?

I have been traveling for work and ended up extending my trip unexpectedly. I packed for the trip not expecting to any remote meetings, but had one this morning. At home, I always use an external camera. But I didn’t pack it, and when logging into this meeting I learned that the camera on my laptop doesn’t work anymore. So instead of having a fuzzy gray image of a digital camera with a slash through it, I turned my video off for the meeting.

One of the people in the meeting called my coworker to debrief afterwards, and one of the things in his long list of complaints was that my camera was off.

These are biweekly meetings with partners we work closely with, and I’ve always had my camera on before now. I didn’t think it was a big deal to have it off one time, but apparently it was.

More than that, I work in a deeply collaborative company where we are in Zoom calls 80% of the time. For half of us, calling in with our cameras off or from our phones is no big deal. We’re just as productive, and we survived just fine with conference calls pre-COVID. But the other half has their camera on religiously and highly prefers when the rest of us do too.

Practically, I just don’t get it. I mean, if I’m meeting with partners I’ll always have my camera on (except this time), and I get that it’s just socially preferred. But why is it so preferred, and considered unprofessional when it’s off?

AITA For kicking my 3 sisters out of my wedding after they came with their kids?

My wife and I got married 2 weeks ago. We wanted a child-free wedding so we've let everyone know my family/inlaws/friends and relatives and everyone was okay with it. Except for my family. I have 3 sisters all with kids from 2-10. My mom said it was illogical to not allow kids since (1 this never happened in the family and (2 my sisters live towns away so the kids can't be left alone. After a lot of arguing and others getting involved. I stood my ground and they agreed to not bring kids.

At the wedding no one brought kids. My parents and aunts were already there. But then I saw my 2 sisters arriving with their kids. I immediately went to ask what's the deal. They began arguing with me when I said I won't be letting them in with the kids. I saw My older sister came with her kids in the car I was pi**ed I asked why they decided to go against the rule and bring kids. My mom started yelling at me when I told my sisters they weren't allowed in with the kids. Everyone was yelling at me I had to get the security involved to make them leave. My parents and aunt left shortly after.

They were so pi**ed at me. I got n__ty texts later and my cousin posted about my "s__tty wedding" on fb.

Days later. I've gathered the family and explained that what they did was...

My dad was asked asked to bring a 50lb suitcase for someone (on an international flight) he met at work’s daughter. am I overreacting for thinking this is risky? He’s always doing favors for people in exchange for “friendship”. He does think I’m a team player.

I (30F) feel really conflicted and want to know if I’m overreacting.

A medical sales lady who frequents my dad’s hospital overseas has a daughter who is currently interning in the same U.S. city where I live, about 20 miles away. Over the years she’s occasionally asked me and my dad for favors.

There was a falling out between her daughter and my mom about 4 years ago after the daughter stayed with my mom (who lives in the US) for about a month. It didn’t go well and after that she only stayed in contact with my dad.

Apparently this lady only reaches out when she wants favors (aka she’s visiting his hospital and needs someone to pay for her lunch). Last time my dad visited me over a year ago, she also asked him to pick her up from the airport and then take her to her daughter (using MY CAR) when she could’ve just Ubered - it baffles me because she’s supposedly super wealthy.

Now the daughter is going back to her home country in East Asia next month. My dad is visiting me right now in the U.S., and just before he arrived the woman treated him to dinner and asked him to check in a 50lb suitcase at the airport that belongs to her daughter. Now we are supposed to drive to the daughter’s apartment and pick up the suitcase so my dad can bring it back (he has a 2 hour flight, 3 hour layover, and then a 16 hour flight).

I feel uneasy about it because I don’t know what’s in the suitcase and it feels like a lot of responsibility. The lady also asked him to bring her daughter’s suitcase to her home. My dad says he...

I am going out of the country for 12 days, my boyfriend that lives with me was supposed to watch my cat but is now demanding higher payment

Hey, so I am going out of town for 12 days and i have a cat that lives with my bf and I. He is not really a cat person and likes to act like caring for her is the worst. I originally offered him $140, just to thank him for his time. I was then texted today “hey I don’t want to watch your cat because pet sitters get paid 150-250 for that long of a trip.” I think this is ridiculous, as he lives with me and would literally just have to feed, water, and clean the litter for her. I also used to pet sit, and 250 is what I would have gotten when i used to watch 3 cats AND an elderly dog (who i had to hold up to use the bathroom)💀 Personally, I have watched my friend’s cats for free and had to travel 20 minutes to get there. Looking for opinions from other people, because i do personally believe $140 is an adequate amount to take care of an animal you literally live in with (for reference my cat and i have lived here for two years and he moved in a year ago….) Thanks!

AITAH for not looking for an arranged marriage for my daughter after she had an in*******al child out of wedlock?

My daughter growing up was exceptionally bright, all GT and AP classes, went to a top Public University. While she was in school she gets into this relationship with this guy call him John.

Initially she tells us John also went to the same school as her but we later discover that was a lie. And in reality he worked random jobs. In her junior year she ends up getting pregnant by him we beg her to abort the baby. She ends up leaving that semester and we end up helping her raise our grandson. John says he is going to Miami and disappears. My daughter moved back in with us and we raised our grandson while she finished her degree online. This whole process we all have gotten close again and we love our grandson. About 1 year and 4 months ago she moved out to her own apartment near by and got a job as well.

She has been dating and meeting guys on her own now and hasn’t had much luck. She now has been asking me and my wife to introduce her to guys through the Indian community with good jobs that are looking to settle down.
The fact that she already has a kid and the fact that the kid is half black and the fact she was never married either makes it so much worse. Me asking around just brings more drama to our family and harms our social relationships. Daughter doesn’t...

AITAH for not believing my daughter with Down syndrome

I (M 54) have recently noticed what I deem as absurdly strange behavior from my daughter (21) who suffers from Mosaic Down syndrome. I feel it is important to note here that with her limitations, she has always been exceptionally capable of doing most things such as taking care of her personal hygiene, meals occasionally, etc. In the past 2 months or so she has increasingly asked for assistance with things she has done herself for years. It has gotten to the point now where I feel the asks are downright ridiculous. Holding tissues to her nose so she can blow, putting hats on her head, cutting up her food into small bits, holding cups as she drinks, and recently it’s crossed into alarming territory. All of these asks have taken a fine toll but largely I have ignored it to be a good father. I’ve hit a point where I had enough recently as she asked for assistance in wiping after #2. PLEASE NOTE, she has always been able to do this. I have vented to my wife (F 53) and she thinks I’m being cruel. I told my wife that I feel the behavior our daughter is presenting is weaponized incompetence. Since this conversation, my wife is refusing to speak to me, and further, is directing my daughter to come to me with every absurd request. I am at a loss and struggling to accept that I may have to wipe my adult daughters #2’s who is fully...

AITA For financially-supporting my parents even though my wife disagrees?

My wife and I are having a disagreement about me sending my parents 2000 dollars every month. To be clear, this is not a financial burden for us at all. We're both attending surgeons, and this money makes absolutely no dent on our quality of life or our savings. Additionally, we don't have joint finances, so, to a certain extent, this should not be her decision at all. I have never told her how to spend any money she's made.

She and I have different relationships with our parents, but she feels that because she doesn't send her parents money, I shouldn't either. Culturally, I am expected to take care of my parents as they get older. She doesn't think I have that obligation, but they invested over half a million dollars in my education alone. She took student loans for both undergraduate and medical school. I didn't.

If she pays back student loans every month, it makes sense for me to pay back my parents, because I feel like I owe them that much. My parents are annoyingly thrifty, and, if I don't send them money, I know they won't actually enjoy their retirement. They've worked too damn hard putting me in a position to succeed for me not to do something for them now.

AITA?

AITA for trying to even out the presents me and my brother would get as kids?

Throwaway in case

I (22m) have been spoiled by my parents from a young age. I believe it was for a few reasons, I would say I’m “physically” gifted and a was always a very exceptional sports player and currently am close to being in a professional league, which I think will be relevant later on.

My brother (24m) wasn’t abused physically or anything like that by my parents but he did not get the same treatment I did when we were younger. He’s more artsy, uninterested in athletics, and has depression, anxiety, ADHD and dyslexia.

So from a young age my parents always were kind of short with my brother and say things to him like “you know how much we have to deal with for you” and that sort of stuff, and would thank God for me being what they said was “normal” or that they sent me to them after all the “suffering” they had to deal with with my Brother with all the therapy and hospital visits and other stuff he’s dealt with in his life.

As a kid I never really knew how to stick up for him but I didn’t like the way they treated him. On birthdays and Christmas we’d get different treatments, his would have little effort from my parents with maybe just a cake and a couple small presents like socks and underwear or a video game. My birthdays would always be some extravagant balloon infested thing...
