Update: 'We agreed to play this way': Vegan DND player requests overhaul of game, finds DM's post about her

When this DM made a post about a player's interesting request, they had no idea it would capture the attention of the DND community . Reddit isn't nearly as anonymous as people like to think it is. This DND player, u/EmotionalMacaroon169, tried to make a post on a throwaway account. They shared with the DND community that they were in a conundrum. A new player joined their homebrew game, and since she's a vegan, she wanted the game's world to reflect that. The OP was using a throwaway account s…

Dinner guest tells host she's not honoring tradition because she won't eat mayo

'I did not think I was the entitled one here': Dinner guest tells host she's being 'unappreciative of their traditions' because she won't eat mayo

A family friend had a huge overreaction to a potato salad. If someone is kind enough to invite you to their house for a meal, you often bring some nice drinks or a plate of brownies or a bouquet of flowers. What you don't do is insult the food that your hosts have made for you — no matter how much you dislike it. Most of us are taught that as toddlers. We're told, "If someone gives you a birthday present, and you don't like it, what do you do?" And then you learn to say "Thank you!" for what yo…

Update: '[My] friend wants use me as her backup ATM': Traveller tells friend she's only bringing $300 on Caribbean vacation, friend takes internet's advice to avoid paying extra

While planning a vacation for two , this woman had no idea her friend would suddenly expect her to foot the bill. That's not how travelling with friends works — everyone has to pay their own share, unless you plan on a different way to split the costs that everyone can agree on. Even many couples will divide the cost of travel among the two of them to ensure both people pitch in. After all, travel isn't cheap, once the costs of hotels, flights, car rentals, food, and more, are all added togethe…

'That weekend [...] doubles as our vacation': Bridesmaid wants to bring her boyfriend to bachelorette party at bride's sister's expense

Ladies… leave the fellas at home—really. And this statement applies to anyone prone to bringing their partners to traditionally spouseless events. It doesn't matter if you're attached at the hip for every waking moment of your life; otherwise, when it comes to something like a bachelor or bachelorette party, your spouse should not be involved. Leave the ol' boy at home and go have a night out on the town with the girls. This really shouldn't be a conversation in the first place, but—if it comes…

'They've gained 40lbs each': Guy gets long-term payback against the office bullies who made fun of his friend's lisp by fattening them up with free sweets

It's tough to resist the delicious treats and snacks in the break room. Whether it's because the snackies are free or because the boredom of the workplace can immediately be staunched by a delectable cinnamon roll, but it's dangerous to anyone's diet to be exposed to sugary goodness for 8 hours every day. In this case, one employee weaponized the desserts in the office...

'Initially, I didn't believe it': Wife questions husband's motives for wanting to split their lottery winnings with his best friend

It is often said that if you have an unexpected windfall of cash, you should tell nary a soul and lawyer up immediately. You'd be surprised how quickly even the most distant relatives and vague acquaintances come out of the woodwork once they catch a whiff of cash, looking for a handout and saying something about how you owe them because of that one thing they did for you that one time. This advice gets passed around any time the topic of winning the lottery is brought up, and everyone likely h…

'They want me to speedrun, I'll speedrun': Insistence over how to play a 'The Legend of Zelda' game ends a friendship

Different people do things in different ways. For example, when I play video games, the wonder of possibility consumes me, driving me to obsessively check every last corner for hidden loot and easter eggs, turning over (literally) every stone until I 100% the game or reach a point of sheer exhaustion where my brain can no longer function and the desire loses its spark—leaving the game unfinished and untouched ever again. This, generally, reflects my approach to life at large. You, on the other…

'AITA for choosing our family dog over a friend hard on his luck?': Choosing beggar friend asks for a place to stay, demands family get rid of their dog first

Beggars shouldn't be choosers—and when you find yourself down on your luck or in a desperate situation, you probably shouldn't be making demands about how those who are willing to offer you support provide that support. There is nothing in this world more wholesome than receiving support from friends, family–even complete strangers—in a desperate time of need. A selfless act of support, willingly given, says more than words ever could and is often essential for making sure that you come out the…

'It was very awkward': Couple ditches double date after other couple shows up extra late

Time is one of your most valuable possessions, but not everyone values it the same amount. Take this couple for example: they're chronically late , and aren't about to improve things any time soon. When a couple shared their experience with a double date gone wrong, it sparked a conversation about what it means to be late to every event. Some people will tell you that it's just how they are. They're always late to everything, despite their best efforts. Lateness also bothers some people more th…

Update: 'How I dealt with a one-sided friendship': Woman plans birthday revenge so her friend will reply to her text messages

Sometimes it only takes one little thing to break apart a friendship . It could be something as simple as a text message — or the lack thereof, in this person's case. One thing you realize the older you get is that it isn't what people say that matters so much as what they do. That whole “actions speak louder than words” sentiment is totally accurate. There are only 24 hours in a day, and if someone makes you a priority, they're taking time from their day to include you in their life. People ce…
