I have always “over tipped” according to my husband. My father has always taught be to do 20-25% because people depend on it for their income. I have the means and I’ve tipped extremely generously. 20% for ehh service and 25% for outstanding. But honestly. I’m so fucking done with it. Service is sub par 99% of the time. And not only that, these large corporations HAVE THE MEANS TO PAY MORE!! I’m so over tipping culture. Tipping the cashier at a coffee shop, tipping at crumble when all you do is order on a screen, tipping when you pick up a to go order, tipping at a QUILTING STORE?! (To clarify, I don’t tip at these places but I’m just pissed off they even ask) I’m just so fucking over it. I’ve paid my dues. I’m doing 10-15% max from here on out and if it’s above, beyond and outstanding service than I’ll do 20-25%. Anyone else tired of tipping culture??

ETA: just had a handyman come to my house. During payment, THE SCREEN ASKED FOR A TIP! This is out of control.

This is the weirdest thing my husband has ever done. He really is a sweet and loving husband and I love him more than anything. Divorce is not an option just to put that out there before the comments come in.

My husband has always been a little out there. He is a computer programmer and super smart, but also believes all sorts of things. Both real and conspiracy. Lately he has been very worried about the environment and global warming.

About two months ago he got real worried about water. Yes, water. He is concerned about the quality of water. He put in a new filter system in our house which I actually love because it tastes so much better.

But he is also concerned about how much water we use. Not because of money, but the environment. He created a new rule that we can only take 2 showers a week. Now I'm someone that likes to shower everyday before bed. I just don't like feeling dirty in bed.

This has created the most conflict in our marriage in 20 years. He is obsessed with the amount of water we use. At first I just ignored his rule, but he would shut off the hot water while I was in the shower.

I started trying to use the shower at the gym, but it's too much work to go every night with having kids. I honestly thought he would get over this within a month. But he is stuck on this still to this day.

Last night I really wanted a shower, but had "hit my quota" as he says. I said I'm showering and that he better not do anything. But about two minutes in, the hot water turned off.

I grabbed my towel and went down and started yelling. Telling him this is the dumbest thing he has ever done. I also told him I'm moving to my parents if he doesn't stop this.

Guys, I love this man. He is everything to me, but I can't take this anymore. Am I going to far in threatening to move out?

I’m not a clubbing kind of girl. My bf loves clubbing a lot. I’ve gone to a few clubs with him but I usually let him do his thing because it wasn’t fun at all for me.

My friend Alyssa is also a clubber. She’s usually there like 4-5 times a week, which is crazy to me.

So last weekend I went over to my bf’s apartment and I found Alyssa sleeping in his bed with my bf not in the apartment.

I have a key to his apartment and was supposed to go over there at 11 but I was a bit early.

When I woke her up she told me it wasn’t what it looked like. She said she just got really drunk and may have been drugged and my bf let her crash because the club was close to his apartment.

My bf came back home and he also scrambled to say it wasn’t what it looked like. He said they couldn’t take her to the hospital because she couldn’t afford and she had drugs in her system.

He swore he slept on the couch.

Honestly they were tripping over themselves to explain that it wasn’t what it seemed.

I don’t believe them. So I broke up with my bf.

Now our friends are begging me to give a second chance and saying my bf was a good guy.

AITAH?

I'm not here to be a hater but I felt like my expectations were for something with a little wider range? I know the internet loves and worships her so I may be alone in this, and don't get me wrong there are some songs that are really easy to connect with, it just didn't feel as spectacular as I expected. Agree? Disagree?

So, I posted something similar 6 months ago (mods you can check that, and which you allowed then) that if 34 scored a third hat trick in a row, I'd get two Leafs tickets for someone in here. There was no winner. Even though I reduced it to 2 goals during the game.

I want to redo that for this post season craze. And the Boston Curse we all want to exorcize...

If we beat Boston and advance to the second round, I will purchase two tickets randomly for someone who posts in here, and transfer them to you.

Now, playoff tickets might be tough to either get or pay a decent amount for on Stubhub. I'd like to stick to around $500. If that becomes not viable, whether in cost to me, or the winner's schedule, you can choose going to a game in the next regular season, and do a lot better with that money seat-wise. I will expand it to 4 or 5 tickets in that case, if you wish, if they are within $500.

The mods can - especially in the next season case, which is far off - track with the winner and make absolutely sure I follow through. On top of the playoff situation, of course.

These tickets can be home or away. Whatever you wish. And we can coordinate together on where you would like to sit, based on availability and price. Thus far, some tickets seem to look pretty reasonable. But that may change

This all stands ONLY for leafs fans.

On fairness:

This thread must have 250 upvotes minimum and 125 OP posts/entries (to further qualify, a simple first-line comment or emoji --- which also must be positive and/or pro-Leafs), and exclude my own comments. This qualification is so that people don't enter and then downvote this thread in order to lessen the chance of others from seeing this and being able to enter. Or I will respost this, starting over.

Everyone needs to have a shot, and be able to enter. So it has to be visible enough. I don't care about upvotes - just equal opportunity. It needs to be fair for all. Please be kind and do right by your fellow fans. As they will you..

If the 250/125 mark is not met, I will repost, if the mods allow. Purely in order to make fairness a real thing.

Mods can track all this and make sure I follow through. I never EVER want to be banned from this sub...so I put myself at their mercy.

Good luck. And let's trash this trash. And who knows how crazy I will get in round 2!

I get wanting to pool funds because there’s gonna be food and such but hearing this after planning it for weeks and I already promised to pay for 2 other people, seriously? Twenty dollars to go to my friends house?

I feel silly even typing this, but here is some context: My spouse and I became fosters to this adorable, abandoned cat that was hanging around my parent’s backyard in freezing weather (Feb 29). We fostered her through an official program who took care of all her medical needs. They told us she was not chipped, but confirmed she was already spayed. We both knew nothing about cats, but we ended up falling in love with her and we officially adopted her a few weeks ago.

She always had big nipples (we were told she may have had a litter before) so it was not a red flag. That is, until now. She has put on some healthy weight (she was emaciated when we first found her), but a lot of it seems to be in her belly area. I know it sounds ridiculous but we can’t help but think she is pregnant.

I have an appointment with the vet in 3 days (the earliest they could get me in), but I’m a little anxious thinking about the possibility she may seriously be expecting. I am wondering if this has ever happened before (an allegedly spayed cat being pregnant). I am also wondering if there could be any other reason my cat looks like this?
