'I have no interest': Guy makes up 'work emergency' to get out of a baby shower

'I have no interest [in] this baby': Guy makes up 'work emergency' lie to get out of a baby shower

At least this guy was honest, right? In a post to r/AmItheA**hole that I'm sure the OP regrets by now, this dude asked if he was wrong for the way he avoided going to a party . As u/Waste_Studio_2716 shared, he and his fiancée have been dating for two years, and he believes their relationship is going great. He doesn't know her family too well, since the OP and his fiancée are a five hour drive away from them. That could have changed when the couple was invited to a baby shower for the fiancée'…

'The customer decides when they are...ready to leave': Friend group splits over golfing etiquette

Mini golfing is so superior to regular golf. In this essay I will… I'm so serious: mini golf is clearly the better game. Regular golf requires one to have some golfing skills already, since you have to hit the ball many yards away. You walk around a course filled with grass, sand, maybe a few lakes or whatever. Nature? Wow, how interesting. Mini golf on the other hand, requires no prior golfing skills. All you have to do is putt along the course , while enjoying windmills, rolling hills, and us…

People tend to think they have sole rights to any name they choose. Guarding it with the same vigor that Mickey Mouse's lawyers use to protect his trademarked silhouette (don't even think of attaching three circles to each other for your logo.) It's almost as if people don't realize that their “Emily” is one of the millions, owning to the name being one of the most popular for the last 30 years. The same goes for any name. Unless you're naming your child something you really shouldn't (ie X Æ A…

'AITA for getting a better haircut than my friend?': Woman divides friend group over bizarre accusations that her new hairdo makes her an 'attention seeker'
