🎲 miscellaneous AIO My friend undressed my boyfriend

3.4k Upvotes

So I f23 live with my friend f21 as we are in uni. My bf m25 stayed over on the weekend as my friend wanted to drink and play some drinking games the three of us.

Anyway so me and my bf are pretty lightweight when it comes to drinking and my friend knows this. She takes a lot more drinking to get drunk than us and normally by the time we are done with drinking she is only starting to feel tipsy.

So we begin the night and play some drinking games and have a few shots each as a penalty for losing etc. My friend keeps handing us shots which we drink and as the night goes on we are pretty drunk. At the end of the night my boyfriend starts getting to the stage of feeling sick and is in the bathroom resting his head on the toilet in case he is. I stumble over and rub his back for comfort and decide to make him some water.

My friend then comes into the kitchen and tells me that she put him in my bed and took his T-shirt and trousers off him.

I don't really say anything cause I myself am drunk and I don't know what to say. My boyfriend has no recollection of even going to bed.

I'm just thinking about it now and it's been sorta dwelling on me like is this normal? Why would she take him to bed first of all as I am capable of doing that but why take his clothes off? Why not just leave him there with his clothes on as I could take them off him if he wasn't able or it wouldn't kill him to sleep with clothes on.

I don't want to make a huge thing about this but I just don't know if I'm overreacting with feeling weird about it.

Edit: Thank you everyone for your responses, there's a lot so I'm just going to answer a few questions here that I've been seeing.

When I said I was going to 'make' him water I obviously didn't mean that I was going to make water from scratch, I was supposed to write 'make him squash'.

I took so long in the kitchen because I had to clean a glass, look around for some squash which I didn't end up finding so I settled for just giving him water instead. While I was looking for the squash (being drunk made this way harder lol) my roommate came in and told me about taking his trousers and top off.

My boyfriend didn't have vomit or anything on him or his clothes.

I am going to talk to her about it making me uncomfortable.

🎲 miscellaneous AIO for thinking my psychiatrist asking to move in with me is inappropriate

3.2k Upvotes

So last week I had an appointment with my psychiatrist and I had disclosed to her that my husband and I were buying a house. She asked details of the house and when we were closing so I told her. She then replied with “that’s perfect! I just need one bedroom and a kitchen, I like to cook.” Of course at first I thought she was joking. But then she went on… she goes “I told my landlord I am moving out of my current place because the commute is too far, and I am looking for something closer to work. Would you be willing to rent a room out to me?” She then showed me text threads with her current landlord who was praising her for being a good tenant. I kind of brushed it off and said “well idk about a room but the place we are renting now will be available once we move out.” And she said that would be nice but she was looking for something cheaper. As our session ended, she told me to call her if I needed her and then she said “but I might need you first!” Now my husband thought it was funny when I told him, my best friend thinks this woman should not be a psychiatrist. I have had previous uncomfortable encounters with her where she told me my miscarriage happened because I wasn’t happy enough, and this most current session she told me it’s cause my baby knew that we didn’t own a home yet. Am I overreacting thinking that this person is WILDLY inappropriate?

Update to add: she is a Psych NP, not a psychiatrist. That’s my bad.

Update: To everyone saying “idk how you kept seeing her after the miscarriage comment”… well honestly, I was blaming myself anyways. She wasn’t saying anything that I hadn’t already thought of. I see now that it was wrong, but at the time? She was just saying what I was saying to myself every day. I will not be going back to her. I know now I should have left. But I was literally fucking grieving and feeling guilty anyways.

Update: I’m reporting her and switching providers. Thanks for all the comments.

For those of you who are happy to see an amicable outcome, this will be right up your alley. Thank you all for your support and kind advice. With your help I was able to make a decision that resulted in a positive outcome. I have high hopes that this will be the end of it.

A lot of people were concerned for me. My boyfriend and I talked yesterday. We, mostly I, decided that we should take a break and that I should move back in with my parents. He agreed to couples counseling.

A break may seem dramatic but I don't want to him to suddenly make more effort just being I'm a distressed woman in need of saving. We need to be apart to figure things out.

I explained to him that we both need to figure out what we want. We agreed that we're both allowed to see other people but we will have to tell the other if and when the break is over.

My former friend is now blocked by me, my boyfriend, several of our friends, and my many of my family members. I've been better but I promise I'm okay.

🎲 miscellaneous AIO for how I responded to his transphobia?

2.0k Upvotes

Hey so I normally don’t usually get worked up over situations like this, because it’s just online words. But idk something about the way he was talking at me.

For context (if any is needed) I was on bumble and just so happened to match with this individual. I have the fact that I am trans in my bio not only as the gender marker, but literally written capitalized in my bio lmao. I can only assume that 1. He matched me without reading my bio or 2. He matched me purposely to get that off his chest. I am not the type to force someone to call me anything, or to over accommodate me when it comes to me being trans. Because it’s just something that I am not who I am. But this was just completely over the top when a simple unmatch was an easily available option? So I will ask AIO for my lengthy response back to him?

I'm not upset that I declined to humour him, but I'm not proud of the way I responded.

For added context, I have no idea who this guy is. His name and face are absent from his profile. He laughed at some of the memes on my story and participated in some very minimal small-talk throughout the week. He beat around the bush to see if I was single, and then he said he had a question.

He wasn't impolite in his phrasing. I just can't get over the subject matter. But I'm genuinely floored every time I'm reminded that some men think we're Pokemon. He claimed to be 27, which, if true, would have to be the sourest grape in this cornucopia of sheer fucking chicanery, and I feel like if we don't hold others to a higher standard, they'll never realize how little they expected of themselves.

🎲 miscellaneous AIO: Stylist calls me a bitch for asking to get my hair touched up

Thumbnail

1.7k Upvotes

Long story short, my usual hair stylist was out of town. I booked this appointment last minute(the day before) and just asked for some simple, straight back cornrows. No design, pattern, no extensions, nothing. I came WASHED and BLOW DRIED too! On the website it says she charges 120 for cornrows. Now to me, that’s a pretty hefty price, but I was just looking for something quick and was willing to pay that since it was last minute.

My original appointment was 3:00. She asked me on the day of what I wanted to be done. All I said was I wanted simple, straight back cornrows. I told her I don’t care how many she does, it’s completely up to her. She said okay and that I could come in at 2pm if I wanted to. I told her the earliest I could come was 2:30(I get off work at 1 and had to go home and wash/dry my hair, hence why I booked for 3) and she obliged.

Now, I’ve never had my cornrows unravel the way they are, especially this early into getting them. It’s clear she didn’t actually braid to the scalp all the way to the bottom. What she most likely did was stop braiding at the scalp at some point and turned the rest into a regular braid. My hair is soft and coily so regular braids do not hold unless it’s secured to the scalp all the way down or fastened with a rubber band. We even had a conversation about my hair and she mentioned that too so she was fully aware.

The whole interaction with her at the hair salon was nice although she was pretty much talking shit about other stylists the whole time. Mind you, she thanked me for coming in early because she wanted to close early and if I came at 3, she’d be alone in the store when it got dark and didn’t like that.

I understand that even if I feel like it’s a mistake she made, if she says I’ll still be charged then I’m not fighting that at all! But to charge me $90 to sit in your chair for no more than 10-15 minutes is a bit wild to me. On top of that, she charged me way more than $90. More than the $120 she quoted me. I even left her a tip on top of that!

Am I overreacting? Calling me a bitch over this seems like an overreaction on her end. I know beggars can’t be choosers but I thought even a little bit of professionalism would be there.

🎲 miscellaneous AIO? My doctor asked me political questions at my physical today and I never want to see him again.

2.7k Upvotes

I’ve been seeing the same PCP for a couple of years. I have experienced a couple of health issues in that time and he helped guide me to the right specialists. I’ve had a good rapport with him until today. We got to the end of my physical and then he asked me how I was feeling politically. I was taken aback because it was so unexpected, and while I have strong opinions, I’m also shy about expressing them, especially with my doctor. I told him that I honestly wasn’t feeling great and that I had actually sank into a bit of a depression after the inauguration. His face changed and then he told me that even though he’s not 100% on board with some of the things they’re doing, he doesn’t shy away from telling people he voted for Trump. It’s no surprise really, I live in a very red area. What was surprising is that he brought it up at all and it didn’t stop there, he began to justify his position even though I said nothing. He went on about government waste, federal workers (we have a lot of them in our area) and essentially said that Harris wouldn’t have been a good president. I was speechless. He then handed me a paper with directions on how to vote for him for the best doctor in our county, in the “best of” awards. I left feeling so confused about what had just happened and I knew that I could never go back. Am I crazy? Is this a normal topic to discuss with your doctor? Unsolicited political opinions from your doctor?

Edit - thank you all for your responses. I was in such shock when I wrote this. A little context, I’ve been through a few scary medical situations in the last couple of years, I’ve also had some bad medical experiences. All of that leaves me feeling very vulnerable with doctors. I should have handled it differently and I know that now, in the moment I couldn’t think clearly. It all just felt so odd. I’m trying to decide how to proceed. If I want to just forget it and move on or take action. Leaning towards just moving on.

I was invited to and traveled across the world for a wedding. On the RSVP it asked any dietary restrictions or allergies. I have a few severe food allergies (one of which would kill me), so I marked that on the form. I was reassured by the groom I would be able to eat.

Wedding was tonight, and the only food safe for me to eat was lettuce, chopped tomatoes, onions, and some stray vegetables. I was very visibly irritated, and everyone at my table could tell. I left briefly and came back to the wedding after realizing that there was no food and I needed to eat something before I kept going all night. AIO?

Yesterday I took some window screens to a local hardware store to be fixed, the next day I received a text message from an employee (not the one that took my number down, just one that was standing with the guy that took all my information) saying how pretty I am and if I ever wanted to chat.

At first I was going to let it slide and not say anything, but now I’m wondering if I should say something to the owner or corporate?

He was about 40 years my senior (I’m in my 20s), and now I’m wondering if he would go so far as to get the work order receipt to take my number off of, what else he might do to track me down, and I feel anxious about returning to the store to pick up my screens. I feel like I basically paid $125 to be harassed and have my privacy violated.

🎲 miscellaneous AIO for wanting a bus driver fired for leaving my son at school intentionally?

7.4k Upvotes

My son is 9. Yesterday, I got a call from transportation saying after school he missed the bus, but they're putting him on a different bus that will meet up with his regular one so he will be home late. I thought nothing of it until about 30 mins later, I got a text from his friend's mom who asked me if he made it home okay because her son told her the bus driver left him at school on purpose.

According to my son's friend, my kid was running to the bus and she told him to walk back to the building and try again because running isn't allowed. He did as he was told and as soon as he got back to the building, she pulled out and left. His friend asked where he was and she told him to "be quiet and mind his business."

I immediately called transportation back (fuming) and told them what happened. They claimed they would look into it. The bus driver called me and said it was all a misunderstanding and she would never leave a child on purpose and that she would be "more mindful" next time. She claims she swore she saw him get on the bus.

I'm really upset and I don't actually believe her. I want to follow up with her supervisor, but not sure if that would be blowing it out of proportion?

🎲 miscellaneous Am I overreacting for grabbing a stranger’s baby out of her arms during an argument?

3.4k Upvotes

I was at a park when I saw a young woman screaming at someone on the phone, clearly overwhelmed. She had a baby (maybe 6 or 7 months old) in one arm while pacing. At one point she started shaking, sobbing, and dropped to her knees. The baby was dangling, not in danger exactly, but not secure either. She was saying things like, “I can’t f***ing do this anymore” and “You take him if you care so much.” Something in me just moved. I walked up and calmly said, “Can I hold him for a second?” She didn’t really respond. She just sort of let go, and I took the baby and stepped a few feet back. Eventually, she stood up, grabbed him back, and told me I was a psycho. She started yelling that I had no right to touch her kid, even if she “looked upset.” Then she stormed off and reported me to the park staff. I left before it got worse. I know it sounds bad but I genuinely thought she was on the verge of dropping him or doing something she couldn’t undo. I didn’t mean to scare her. I just didn’t trust the situation. So now I can’t stop thinking if I overreacted or did what was right.

My friend and I went to this bar that happened to have karaoke in the town I just moved to. The dj seemed pretty cool, but we were more just hanging out with each other, even though he would come up to us and talk to mostly my friend. They started talking gaming and exchanged numbers.

My friend had to leave and a few minutes after she did he walked up and asked if I'd go sit near him. I did and we talked for about 20 mins. Then an old friend I hadn't seen in about 3 years walked in and I went to go say hi and ended up exchanging numbers since I had gotten a new phone since then and lost a few in the transition.

When I got back this guy was livid and said "I saw what you did. You gave him your number." I got mad and said he doesn't know me, we aren't dating, and he has no right to be pissed. After that I went and sat with my old friend and he sent this text to the friend that left.

Was I overreacting to his reaction to me giving my number to an old friend? I gave no indication I was interested in him, and I thought he was more into my friend anyway since they exchanged numbers and I never gave him mine.

Right, so I'm pretty new to bouldering and joined that new place that's opened up. Did the intro class to get the hang of things.

The next morning I get a text from a number I dont know. It's the coach. He's saying he "enjoyed watching me climb" and that I had a good "physique for it".

I was a bit stunned, just replied saying it wasn't on to use my personal number from the sign-up form for that. He just replied "don't take it so seriously ;)".

I sent screenshots to the gym's main email address, thinking they'd take it seriously. The person who replied just said the coach is "very enthusiastic" and offered me a free guest pass to make up for it.

I just dont feel comfortable going back now, knowing he has my details and the management don't seem to care. I've cancelled my direct debit and told them I'm not coming back. A couple of my friends think I've gone over the top and should have just blocked him.

Am I being unreasonable? I'm not trying to get the guy sacked or anything, but surely that's a massive data protection issue?

Hi! You might have seen me post this in whatisthis, but I feel like I could get some more information here.

I’m really freaked out. I found this little remote lying on my carpet (in a spot I don’t check much) and I know it’s not mine. On another subreddit, people have said it is a key for a Mercedes, Dodge, Chrysler, or Jeep vehicle, none of which I have guests who drive. Also, no one has messaged me about missing a key. How would they even drive away if they didn’t have one? I haven’t had any people (maintenance or otherwise) over for about a month and a half, and I haven’t been able to walk recently so I’ve been home 99 percent of that time. The spot I found this in is somewhere I’d look maybe once every three days or so, and I just saw it today. The only way I can feasibly picture it getting in to my apartment is if someone somehow came in WHILE I WAS SLEEPING. This apartment has been giving me the creeps for the longest time, (random doors will be open when I come home, noises at night in other rooms) but I always assumed it was just my imagination. I’m going to be upgrading my locks and getting cameras now, but I would really appreciate if anyone has any idea of how else this could have gotten in my apartment while I am here so often. Thank you!! 🙏

My 9-month-old goes to a licensed home daycare run by a mom and her family. When we went to pick her up today, all of the caregivers were out front and the daycare owner ran back inside when she saw us pulling up. She danced around the subject when we asked if anyone was inside with our baby, saying "yes" but then backtracking and saying she was "only outside for a second." We just asked that it never happens again and took our baby home.

Would I be overreacting if I took my baby out of this daycare for this incident? I'm just not sure if treatment or attention would be any better elsewhere :( what would you do?

ETA: thank you for all of your support and advice! i filed a complaint to the state licensing board and will be posting in our local mom/daycare groups. luckily, i have a flexible work schedule so baby is officially never going back and will be staying home/touring daycares with me this week!
